Chapter 106 Corleone Familia (5)
Looking at the paper, Elias unhurriedly read though its contents.
After a while of silence, Fey couldn't help but turn nervous especially when he saw Elias gaze suddenly turn up to lock at him.
"You've done well."
Elias' lips curled up to a satisfied smile.
Fey was significant for his club's plans, so getting his signature to join was absolutely crucial.
Since Fey had finished signing, then he did not need to worry anymore. The future of his club was almost guaranteed.
With Fey Scaffold, Hajin Sanchez, and Ragna Newgate — the Corleone Familia's rise was nothing short of inevitable and unstoppable.
Elias calmly took back the paper and folded it neatly, hiding it in his chest pocket.
"From now on, we're tied together as partners in crime. Both by business and personal. I'll help you when you need me, and you will help me when I need you. That's the rule of the contract. I expect great things from you, Scaffold. Don't disappoint me, alright?"
Feeling a huge weight on his shoulders, Fey smiled nervously as he recomposed himself and nodded.
"... Alright, I promise I'll help you as long as it's within my capabilities and in my morals. Do you accept that?"
"Magnicifico. I can already see a great future ahead of us."
Elias nodded with a satisfied smile. It was not his style to force his subordinate — his act of threat earlier was just to remind Fey of his position.
Seeing that he accepted, Fey sighed in relief inwardly. However, he couldn't helped but be surprised internally.
Elias tone and mood switched in a heart beat. If he hadn't seen the threatening and serious side the man had shown earlier, he would've gotten an impression that the man was easy going and nice.
He could be threatening in one second, then have a confident reassuring smile the next second.
It felt so unnerving.
Huh... wait.
Like the sorcerers from earlier.
Fey's eyes narrowed, ever so slightly. Now that he thought about it, what happened in the laboratory was far too convenient.
He couldn't help but have an inkling suspicion that Elias intentionally engineered such a scene for an unknown reason.
It was unknown because, quite frankly, he didn't really know why would he do that.
Even with his talents, he couldn't predict Elias actions. It was hard to discern what the man was thinking behind that expression of his.
Taking one last glance at Elias, Fey fell silent before he shook his head.
He had no doubt that his decision today would significantly impact his future. His calculations told him that.
But what his calculations didn't tell him was whether the impact would be positive or negative.
'I simply have to wait and see.'
Fey thought silently. After the signing process, he was free to go. He recomposed himself and told Elias his intentions.
"I'll take my leave. If you need me with anything, just call me. Is that alright with you?"
"Sure, sure, go ahead."
Elias nodded and let him go. Fey cooly turned around from them and entered the laboratory room hurriedly.
Once Fey disappeared, Hajin lifted his brows and commented in doubt.
"...Is he our fourth member? He doesn't seem to be that strong."
"Why do we need more strong people? Three of us are enough. Besides, strength isn't everything. There are more qualities to a person than their strength."
Elias shook his head calmly. Despite how Fey looked, he was important — if not, the most important member of the club.
The Corleone Familia's rise was going to be largely attributed to Fey, that much he was certain.
He turned around to look at Hajin and Ragna, the amused smile on his face vanishing as he switched the topic.
"Enough of that. What's your next class?"
"It's a Sorcerer program, Magic Theory. How about you?"
Hajin replied casually. crossing his arms together. Then both of them turned to look at Ragna.
Ragna scratched his head awkwardly.
"Uh... Sorcerer-something-Magic Theory."
"I see..."
Elias nodded silently. He raised his head and looked at Hajin and Ragna.
"Well, it seems all of us have the same second class. I have Magic Theory as well. Quite a lucky coincidence, I suppose."
"Oh damn really...?"
Hajin sighed before shrugging. He continued with a plain expression.
"Well, atleast Magic Theory will be more tolerable with you guys around. I heard it's going to be filled with magic stuff."
"That's where the term Magic Theory came from."
Elias gave a short nod. To be honest, this was quite a lucky coincidence for them to have the same class.
A lot of students have different programs to suit their own weakness and strengths, besides their profession.
"Let's go to the Lecture Hall. There's no point in standing around in the hallways like this."
Elias told them and both of them agreed as they all went to the first floor.
***
Lecture Hall, Magic Theory.
Inside the Lecture Hall, a purple haired man sporting a soft and bitter expression walked inside.
"It's too bad I missed my first program. Oh well, I'll just do my best in Magic Theory... i suppose."
The purple haired man was Rain Violetstar.
After getting severely injured to the point of bedridden, he was finally discharged at the eve of yesterday... only to wake up late and miss his first class.
"Cheer up, it's not that bad Rain."
Beside him, Roshia chuckled and patted his back. She looked at inside and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Huh, there's already a lot of students sitting inside. I guess everyone was dismissed early as well."
"You're right. Let's hurry up."
Rain nodded and entered the Lecture Hall. He found a seat for two and gestured for Roshia to sit beside him.
Roshia was more than inclined to do so. She took a seat beside Rain and reclined her back against the chair.
"Oh right, who's our teacher for this cla...?"
At that moment before she could finish, she suddenly felt the entire lecture hall turn silent and still.
Rain and Roshia were confused before they turned their gaze to the entrance of the Lecture Hall.
Contrary to their expectations, it wasn't a teacher.
It was three students — Elias Corleone, Hajin Sanchez, and the monstrously large Ragna Newgate.
After what happened to the first Hunter class, Elias Corleone's declaration to lead the first year was already spread around the entire year.
"That's him isn't it? Elias Corleone..."
"He's going to lead us...? Is he qualified?"
"Well, he did kill the Baron Demon of Pride. That's certainly a godlike feat... not to mention that monster beside him."
"Don't forget about Sanchez... he's part of the inheritors, isn't he? I'm surprised he's willing to be a subordinate of someone!"
Elias walked inside the lecture hall without a hint of expression. Dressed in his usual black suit while a woolen coat draped over his shoulders.
With sharp, piercing black eyes that could make a weak-willed man tremble from fear, he entered the hall and took a seat on one of the front chairs.
Beside him, Hajin and Ragna calmly followed and sat beside him as well.
The students in the hall fell silent while looking at Elias.
Although Elias barely even does anything, but the way he walks and move, there was a certain level of confidence and power to him.
It automatically made Elias seem threatening and intimidating despite not doing anything. His aura alone was enough.
Seeing Elias, Rain's eyes widened in surprise. He was about to stand up and call for the man but Roshia suddenly stopped him.
Rain tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.
"I know what you're thinking. But you can thank him after class. I don't think he likes being disturbed randomly... well, that's the impression I got from him atleast."
Roshia elaborated with a shake of her head. Then, she smiled as she suddenly turned to look at the door.
"Besides, the teacher is already here."
Rain raised his brows and turned to look at the door, but nothing could've surprised him more than by what he saw.
Entering the lecture hall was a breath taking young woman with pure, snow white hair, resembling that of an endless snowflake.
An elegant butterfly ornament hung on her hair, as though a symbol of nature's restless beauty.
She had a gentle, and angelic demeanour that perfectly soothed the eyes and hearts of every male student who stared at her.
The young woman walked up to the stadium silently while sporting a soft and gentle smile on her face.
The loose, sorcerer's robe that hung on her body revealed her curvy body and perfect proportions, accentuating her beautiful and elegant appearance.
It was hard to differentiate whether she was mortal or a goddess, but all the more unreal was she looked far too young to teach.
After what seemed like an eternity, the young woman opened her mouth.
"My name is Luna Edelfelt, your temporary instructor for Magic Theory. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Temporary?
Seemingly seeing everyone's doubts, Luna explained with a difficult expression.
"Sigh... My master is supposed to be your instructor for this program, but he said he had too many things to take care of at the moment and transferred his job to me."
"How unreliable, right? But don't worry. I can atleast guarantee you that my Magic Theory knowledge is quite outstanding... so I'm qualified to teach you."
