Chapter 21: Old Greenforth

Cook then said something that immediately caused the dissatisfaction of all the magicians.

“Student John, if you choose me here, I can guarantee that you will reach my level within a year.”

“As for the other magicians, they will only delay your talent!”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the magicians instantly exploded.

“Hey! Cook! Don’t go too far!”

“This is too unfair. What do you mean only you can be chosen? So we magicians can’t do it?”

“What do you mean, we will only delay John’s talent? You just entered the advanced stage of the magicians a few days earlier than me. How can you say such shameless words! ?”

“…”

At once, all sorts of derogatory and mocking voices began to appear.

There were even some magicians who wanted to duel with this battle mage!

This was because Cook’s actions were really hard to accept, especially his arrogant expression of looking down on others.

It was as if there was no one else present besides Kurkos who could compete with him for the position of John’s teacher.

That was because he had his own capital. Not only had he reached the advanced stage of being the Grand Magician, but he was also a close-combat mage!

His path of the Knight had also reached the intermediate stage of the Sky Knight and was about to enter the advanced stage because they had cultivated together!

Moreover, Kurkos could faintly sense that Cook was showing signs of stepping into the ranks of the Holy Light Magister!

Soon, he would become the second Holy Light Magister of Gustav City!

First of all, he was different from Kurkos – he was much younger.

Moreover, Kurkos had very little time left due to his use of forbidden spells.

In other words, Cook had a very good chance of becoming the first person in Gustav City to step into the ranks of the Sorcerer King in the next few years!

The point was that none of the magicians present, including Kurkos, were battle mages!

Therefore, this was also why Cook had the right to be so arrogant in front of so many magicians.

Apart from Kurkos, he did not even consider the other magicians in his eyes!

“Stop arguing. The final choice is John’s. No matter how much you argue, it’s useless.”

At that moment, Kurkos saw the scene before him, let out a long sigh, and interrupted everyone’s argument. He looked at John and reminded him,

“Student John, from now on, it’s up to you to choose your own mentor. You don’t have to be afraid. No matter what choice you make, no matter who wants to persecute you for your choice, I swear on the honor of the Gustav Academy of Magic that I, Kurkos, will not let them off.”

As the voice fell, the noise in the room gradually disappeared.

All the teachers understood that the next choice of this peerless genius had already been decided.

All the magic teachers present knew very well that this was just a formality for Cook to become John’s teacher.

Otherwise, Dean Kurkos would not have done such an unfair thing.

Because they didn’t even have a chance to speak!

As a battle mage, there was naturally no one present who was more qualified to be John’s mentor than Cook.

But his words were enough to provoke the anger of the other magicians!

That was why the other magicians fought for it.

Now, even if they stood in John’s shoes and thought about it, they would still choose either Cook or Kurkos, right?

However, just when everyone thought that John would definitely choose Cook as his teacher, they saw John take a step forward and calmly say something unbelievable.

“Thank you, teachers, for your love, and thank you, Dean Kurkos, for believing in me like this.”

Kurkos and Cook both nodded, but when John said the next name, all the magic teachers present were stunned.

“I, John, will choose Greenforth as my future Magic Instructor in the Gustav Academy of Magic!”

One can only see Cook still nodding and muttering, “Well, as expected of my student. He made a good choice.”

This was also heard by the other Magic Instructors. All the magic instructors, including Kurkos, were digging their ears.

They wondered if they had heard something wrong. After all, seeing how happy Cook was, could it be that they had really misheard?

Until a voice suddenly made Cook come to a realization.

“Why did you choose old Greenforth? John, were you planning to choose Greenforth as your magic instructor just now?”

Kurkos looked at John in front of him seriously. At the same time, Cook also frowned.

What a joke!

Old Greenforth was almost the same age as this old dean. He had just barely entered the ranks of magicians recently.

If Greenforth had been placed in other border countries, he might still have a place. But this was the Gustav Academy of Magic!

Other than Greenforth who was an early-stage magician, all the other magicians present had started with the standard of an early-stage great magician!

From this, it could be seen that Greenforth was not qualified to enter the Magic Academy as a teacher!

Without any reservations, Greenforth was a disgrace among the ranks of teacher Gustav!

If it was not for the fact that he had a good relationship with Kurkos when he was young, he would not have been able to enter the Magic Academy as a teacher with his level!

To put it bluntly, it was not an exaggeration to describe Greenforth as trash among these teachers!

Now, a peerless genius who had surpassed the talent of Dean Kurkos would choose such a weak magician as his instructor?

Just now, Cook was immersed in his own imagination and began to prepare how he would arrange John’s Magic Course in the future.

After the course ends, how he will be awarded the badge by President Kurkos…

All these scenes appeared in his mind one by one.

Now, you’re telling him that not only was John’s choice not himself, but Old Greenforth, who was also looked down upon by the other Magic Instructors?

Stop fooling around!

“Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!”

“Dean Kurkos, absolutely, absolutely can not agree to his request. We need to temporarily ask Old Greenforth to leave for a period of time, and then restart the choice of a magic instructor!”

“Student John! You may not understand the meaning of your choice. Old Greenforth is simply unable to be your magic tutor!”

Cook also realized something. His burly body came in front of John and said with a serious tone,

“John, you will only be wasting your future and talent by doing this. Why don’t you follow me? I only need a year – no, half a year’s time. I can make you surpass all the magic tutors present except for me and the Dean!”

These words once again caused the anger of the many magicians.

To be able to surpass them in half a year, wasn’t that looking down on them too much!

All of a sudden, all the plans were disrupted.

If Kurkos had been able to foresee all this in advance, he would definitely not have let this old friend of his come here to make a guest appearance.

And after the other magicians heard John’s choice, they also took this opportunity to express their abilities.

Nothing else!

They were all clear that as long as they became John’s teachers, they will undoubtedly be a candidate for the Medal of Honor!

Now, even the old Greenforth could compete with them for the position, how could they hold back?

At the same time, when Old Greenforth saw this scene, although his expression was calm, his heart was incomparably excited.

He really didn’t expect it.

Lady Luck finally chose himself!
