Chapter 19: Principal Kurkas’ personal welcome!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Thinking of this, after Greenforth’s servant left the office.
Kurkas took a step forward and walked out of the office.
It would be too disingenuous for such a talented prodigy youth to be welcomed by a tutor’s servant.
He might as well follow along.
On the academy grounds.
Because of the ten Blessing Bell rings, groups of people had gathered around John. Some of them were tutors and students.
“Is this the little brother who has mage-level psychic energy? Isn’t he too handsome?”
“Ten rings of Blessing Bells, a person who is an expert in magic and combat skill. If he were in the same grade as us, it would be too unfair. At the very least, those seniors would have to compete with him for resources…”
“I’m afraid that only senior Tish from the graduating class can be compared to him, right?”
“Perhaps senior Tish can’t even be compared to this little brother?”
“…”
“Make way, make way. Over here, Principal Kurkas has sent a message to this youth named John Z.”
Greensford’s servant pushed the crowd aside for his master and came in front of John.
When the crowd heard this, they immediately cried out in surprise.
This was a personal summons from Principal Kurkas!
One had to know that Principal Kurkas was the hero of the City-state of Gusteco!
In his 30 years as a teacher, he had only taken in one student!
Moreover, during the previous public interview, Principal Kurkas had yet to find a suitable replacement.
Now that he had personally passed on the message to this new student, could it be that he had already found a candidate for his successor!
“Mr John. Z, Gusteco Mage Academy will one day be proud of you. I originally thought that we would become teacher and student in the future, but now it seems that your talent is too outstanding. Principal Kurkas will personally assign classes to you!”
Greensford revealed a kind smile and adjusted his glasses at the same time.
From his expression, there was no sign of him being discouraged because he could not get John. Instead, there was an uncontrollable excitement.
It seemed that Old Greensford did not care about the ridicule of others at all.
He did not take it seriously at all.
A student whose psychic energy reached the level of a mage was already a once in a hundred years event. A student whose psychic energy reached the intermediate level of a mage might not even be seen in a thousand years.
And this youth before him did not only have such terrifying psychic energy.
His even an expert in magic and combat skill!
Such an unrivaled genius, even if it was ten thousand years, he might not be able to encounter it once, right?
At the same time, Greensford also knew his own limits. He simply did not have the chance to become John’s tutor.
But, if he found such a talent for the academy, he might be able to regain the attention of Principal Kurkas.
As for the nobles?
Compared to this unrivaled genius, they were nothing.
It was said that the nobles had received training and medicine since they were young, but in Old Greensford’s eyes, these people couldn’t even compare to his younger self!
Thinking of this, Old Greensford led Amy and John to leave the crowd.
At random, the three of them passed through the surging crowd, and at that moment…
“It’s Principal Kurkas!”
Someone shouted, causing Old Greensford to stop in his tracks,
Too many strange things had happened today.
First, it was the two genius brother and sister, and then, it was the great Principal himself who walked out of the office!
“All the Head magic tutors and the two students come to my office.”
All the Head magic tutors!
“This… This backdoor opening is too obvious! At least the Principal shouldn’t say it in front of us!”
“There are so many tutors, how can John choose one at will! This is too unfair!”
“If you have John’s talent, you can also apply to Principal Kurkas!”
“…”
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the tutors, John, and Amy arrived at the Principal’s office.
The standards of these people stunned the others.
The weakest among them, Greensford, had the standard of a beginner mage!
The most terrifying thing was that John could feel that the old man sitting behind the desk was Kurkas.
Although his hair had turned white, his spirit did not show any signs of decay. John could feel that this old man’s strength was at least at the level of a Divine Mage!
That was because he could not see the other party’s strength at all!
But that was not the most important thing. At this moment, after countless mages entered, their gazes were also focused on John.
It seemed that they wanted to see who John was.
Was it really as Old Greensford had said? He had not learned any human magic, but his psychic energy had reached such a terrifying stage!
If that was the case, John could be said to be an unrivaled monster!
Sure enough, after the prying eyes of the crowd, they could not find any trace of human magic on John’s body.
Especially that mage named Kurt. Although his strength was not as strong as Kurkas, John could still see his strength through the strength of a peak Five Attributes Dragon.
He was already about to enter the stage of a Divine Mage!
After the others were unable to see John’s strength, they all dispelled their thoughts. Through prying magic, they learned that John really had not learned any human magic!
Even Kurkas could not find a trace of magic aura from John’s body!
This was also inevitable. One had to know that what John learned was not human magic, but dragon magic!
With the system concealing the aura of dragons, how could humans detect his strength?
At this moment, Kurkas’ expression changed.
Amy, who had followed him in, saw this and hid behind John in fear.
If the system’s ability was not enough to conceal his dragon aura, he would probably die today!
However, John was obviously thinking too much.
Kurkas laughed out loud in excitement, tears welling up in his eyes. Then, he started clapping.
However, when they saw this scene, everyone, be it the tutors or the students, started clapping as well.
At the same time, everyone gave John a look of approval.
When he saw this scene, John heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his system didn’t trick him.
These tutors had only seen his psychic energy, but they had not been able to see his talent from his race.
And at this moment…
“As expected of a genius. No, a monster that only appears once in ten thousand years!”
“That’s right! I have never seen such a genius with such high talent without any guidance. This year is really not bad. We managed to recruit two geniuses in one go. This time, our academy can become famous throughout the Continent of Gran!”
“Principal Kurkas, I’ve already investigated him just now. He has indeed never come into contact with human magic before. Such powerful psychic energy is something that he was born with. Let’s get straight to the point!”
All the tutors’ gazes were fixed on one person.
That was the Principal of the Mage Academy.
Kurkas Coles.
