Chapter 167 Entrance Exam
At the square at the main gate of Karol Magic Academy.
There were a lot of people in this place, but because the space was so big, there was no need for people to crowd together.
Alec was standing in the middle of the crowd, carrying a rather large, heavy sword on his back, making everyone pay attention to him.
"Look, that person is carrying a heavy sword."
"It is not strange, this is a magic academy, and this place has all kinds of professions. Perhaps he is a scholar; that's why he carries such a large sword."
"Hm… I think he is a Berserker, after all, such a big sword, only the Berserker profession can use it."
"He is too thin; how can he swing that sword?"
"Not sure, maybe he just wears it on his back."
"Huh! I feel like he's just bragging. If we wait until we enter the competition, I'm afraid he won't be able to run, even if he wants to run."
"That's right. After all, magicians are still the strongest profession, hahaha…"
Alec heard the crowd looking down and insulting him, which made him a little excited.
Yes, he was really excited. Because the more people insult him, the greater the effect he will have when flexing.
'Huh! You fools, wait until I show off my magic swordsman profession, I'm afraid all of you will be so surprised that your teeth will fall out.'
Alec happily crossed his arms and stood still in the crowd. He even puffed out his chest so people could pay more attention to him.
Medos, who was hiding inside Alec's necklace, felt a bit embarrassed.
Even though he didn't appear, he still felt embarrassed. In the end, what was his student's intention? He didn't know it either, but this was the first time he had seen someone so happy that they were being looked down upon and insulted by people.
"Stay away! There's a carriage coming!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, startling everyone. They all looked towards the door, where there was a carriage pulled by three white horses. The blue horse's manes and tails seemed to be shining.
"That's… a fairy horse?!"
"Truly a Fairy Horse! Which noble is in the carriage?"
"No! I think maybe a member of the royal family is sitting inside the carriage. Ordinary nobles cannot use four fairy horses to pull a carriage."
"It's incredible, a fairy horse costs up to 10 tri-colored elemental stones, four fairy horses is a huge fortune."
"Oh my God! The carriage is also made from fairy wood."
"The noble sitting inside the carriage, may I ask if you want a slave? I eat very little, but I work very hard."
Alec glanced towards the door and saw the carriage, his eyes filled with contempt.
'Huh! It's just a noble, do you need to show such surprise?'
'I'm afraid that the people inside only rely on their family background to be respected by everyone.'
'Not like me. I only rely on myself, not on anyone.'
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, the maid driving the carriage got out, then opened the carriage door.
From inside the carriage, a man wearing a black robe with extremely luxurious red and yellow motifs took the maid's hand and walked down.
"Wow! So handsome!"
"Heh?! This is the first time I am seeing this young man, could it be that he is a noble from another kingdom?"
"I don't know, but looking at the badge on the car, he's still a noble of the Karol Empire."
"Not interested! I just want to be friends with him."
"Huh! Do you dare to come close to him?"
"Hehehe… of course… no. I'm not stupid either. To get close to high-ranking nobles like that, you need to have the same status as them."
Alec, who was now clearly seeing the young man, frowned and said: "Lathel?!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Lathel, why you?"
"Huh! Even if you attract everyone's attention, it's just a stupid joke."
"This world is a cruel world, whoever has great power bends the rules."
"Wait until you enter the competition and you show your true face, then… hahahaha, everyone will insult you and drown you in saliva."
Lathel stepped down from the carriage and sighed. At first, he thought that these four horses seemed a bit normal, it was just that their bodies radiated a gentle aura, so he immediately agreed to use this carriage.
The previous carriage pulled by a Drake attracted too much attention, so he wanted a more normal carriage.
But after getting off the carriage and hearing everyone talking, he immediately realized he was wrong.
This carriage was five times more expensive than the previous one. This made him sigh and shake his head.
He didn't want people to pay too much attention, but in the end, people paid more attention to him.
"Alright! You can go back." After getting off the carriage, Lathel looked at the maid and said.
The maid shook her head and replied softly: "I'm sorry, young master, but my duty is to ensure your safety, so I will accompany you inside the academy."
Lathel sighed and said: "No need, this is a magic academy, no one will harm me. Besides, I can't bring servants into the academy."
"Hehehe…" The maid smiled: "It's okay, young master. The academy's rules say that…Each noble can bring a maid into the academy."
Lathel: "…"
"It's okay, I can take care of you, young master." Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Lathel turned his head and immediately saw Claire standing across from them. She was also wearing a maid outfit, however, her face showed a bit of embarrassment, as it was no longer as serious and emotionless as before.
"Claire?! I told you not to cause me any more trouble, don't you understand?" Lathel frowned and said.
"Don't worry, young master. Malina asked me to come into contact with you so that I could gain your trust." Claire explained: "So my actions will not make Malina suspicious."
"Besides… with me by your side, you will also understand this academy better, and we can also help each other."
"Help each other?" Lathel frowned.
"That's right." Claire smiled and said: "Master Lilith also wrote a letter of recommendation for me, so now I can take this entrance exam as a student of the academy."
Lathel: "…"
"What do you mean…"
"Uhm! This exam… I hope young master can help me more." Claire said as she bowed her head.
"As for Malina, don't worry. If she lets me approach you, she won't care about you. Maybe… she has other plans."
Hearing that, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief.
Standing in the distance, Alec frowned when he saw Claire approaching Lathel. He was about to approach them to ask why she was talking to Lathel when a voice rang out.
"Alec, who are you looking at?"
He turned his head and saw Malina, now wearing a light pink dress, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.
"Malina?! Why are you here?" Alec asked puzzledly.
"Hehehe… of course it's to help you answer what you don't understand about the magic academy." Malina replied with a smile.
Alec glanced at Lathel, he was about to say something, but Malina spoke.
"Don't worry, I let Claire join the magic academy and let her approach Lathel to gain his trust, and provide us with intelligence."
Hearing that, Alec happily said: "Woah! Malina, you are really smart."
He reached out, intending to touch her, but she took a step back, avoiding his hand.
Malina said worriedly: "Sorry, Alec, I... I'm still a little scared. Sorry."
"Ack! No problem." Alec recalls Malina's fear of men: "I promise I will help you open your heart."
"Uhm! I trust you, Alec." Malina shyly bowed her head and said: "We don't need to worry about him, let me introduce you to the rounds of the entrance exam."
"Hahaha… good, then I hope you can help me more."
"Hehehe… Alec, do you still need to be so polite given our relationship?" Malina smiled, her voice was like a bird's song, which captivated Alec.
In the distance, next to a large tree that no one noticed. A young man wearing a black robe was staring at Lathel, his eyes carrying terrible hatred and murderous intent.
"Lathel… I swear… I swear I will kill you and use your blood and head as a sacrifice to the souls of the Bathetto family."
"Laugh while you can… very soon… I will come to take the life of a rotten dog like you."
"Shut up!" A voice rang out next to him, startling him.
Banetto, no, Harris turned his head, saw Melyne, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You startled me."
"Huh! Can't you control your emotions a bit?" Melyne said contemptuously: "If you keep your hatred hanging in your mouth, it will be easy for others to find out."
"At that time, you can die alone, but don't drag me along."
"Sorry.. I…" Harris faltered, feeling a bit embarrassed. Actually, when he saw Lathel, he couldn't control his anger.
"For now, you should restrain and control your emotions well. Even though Lathel is weak, he is not someone you can kill so easily, understand?"
Hearing Melyne speak, Harris bowed his head and replied: "I understand."
"Good! The first round is to test your talent. With your talent, you can definitely pass this round." "However, you should focus on the second and third rounds," Melyne explained.
"These are two extremely important rounds. The academy has arranged for many high-ranking people to observe these two rounds."
"If you perform well, you can definitely attract their attention. Maybe they will even invest in you or have a few people who can take you on as their personal student."
Hearing that, Harris felt extremely excited. He said: "Melyne, don't worry. Thanks to the sword you gave me, first place might be a bit far away, but the top 10 should be achievable."
"I hope so too." Melyne nodded and said: "You should remember, your current identity is Harris, not Banetto, understand?"
"I understand." He said while glancing at Lathel: "Don't worry, I will control my emotions, so that one day I will turn those emotions into a rain of blood."
