Chapter 22: President Kuhlkos’Depression.
At first, Greenforth had some fantasies about John, but when he thought about his own strength, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
However, all of this simply happened too suddenly!
At the same time, a rare look of worry appeared on Kurkos’s face. Then, he earnestly explained to John,
“John, do you really want to choose my old friend Greenforth? Today, I’m not afraid of offending this old friend. In this place, even if you choose to witness the future of any mentor, it’s better than following this old friend of mine…”
Kurkos’s face was gradually becoming impatient.
After all, in his eyes, John could no longer be described as a genius. Kurkos who had the opportunity to step into the ranks of the Sorcerer King could deeply feel it.
John still had endless potential waiting to be tapped.
And Kurkos himself did not have much time left. Even if he could not witness John’s path with his own eyes, no matter what choice he made.
For he was a person who cherished talents very much, and even if Kurkos was unable to stay in Gustav in the end, he must tap into a part of John’s potential.
It was nothing. It was just that when he realized that he did not have much time left, Kurkos had long since become indifferent to ordinary things. The only thing that caught his attention was his deep study and exploration of magic.
The John in front of him had given him the goal and motivation to live.
Now, he was actually delayed by his old friend whom he had given alms to.
Kurkos was originally a gentle person, but now, a few veins popped out on his forehead due to anger.
However, who would have thought that John had already planned this from the start.
Why…
How could John not know what these people were thinking? Although they were all doing this for their own benefit, the root of the problem was, he was not a human!
Everything about him originated from the advancement of the giant dragon. To put it bluntly, it was an opportunity provided by the system.
John did not forget that his goal of coming here was to snatch the Princess of Gustav — Tish.
Moreover, John knew that the stronger the teacher, the more strict his requirements would be.
Therefore, it would be very inconvenient for him to move in the future.
Old Greenforth, who was the latter, was different. If he was chosen, he would definitely not be too constrained in this aspect.
Therefore, he will have extra time to complete the task.
At the same time, John had also inquired early on that Princess Tish was in the third-grade graduation class. Once he enters that graduation class, wouldn’t that be equivalent to directly achieving his target?
The next key step was to need free time to interact with Princess Tish.
Thus, with John having understood Greenforth’s capabilities, everyone was looking forward to him being able to make a decent choice.
Only to see that he took a step forward and said calmly,
“Respected magic teachers, I have already thought it through. Teacher Greenforth is the oldest, and he had discovered my talent from the beginning. However, even if we bring our talent here, the most important thing is that someone will point out the right path.”
“Therefore, to the other teachers, I can only apologize. I will still choose Greenforth as my magic teacher. In addition, the Dean has already sworn that no matter what choice we make, Dean Kurkos will respect it.”
“So, please don’t force us.”
After hearing these words, Kurkos almost spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.
That’s right, he had made the oath in front of everyone.
In this world, as long as it was a profession or race that had something to do with magic, there would be great importance attached to it.
Whether it was the elves or the dragons, including magicians, as long as they made an oath, they would unconditionally abide by it.
Breaking an oath for no reason would even affect their future study of magic.
The reason why Kurkos dared to make an oath was because he was confident that even if Cook was not chosen, the other grand magicians would still be able to compete with him.
Why did he choose this old friend of his?
“Oh my God, Old Greenforth! Are you favored by the goddess of luck? This peerless monster actually chose you, my old friend!”
“Hahaha! Dean Kurkos, it seems that I am fated to be with this pair of brother and sister.”
After hearing Greenforth’s straightforward voice, Kurkos really wanted to cry but had no tears.
How could he not know the strength of this old friend of his?
If John really fell into his hands, perhaps even his bright future would be eclipsed by it!
Kurkos knew that he didn’t have much time left, so he wasn’t interested in many things in the world.
John, who had rarely appeared, had successfully attracted his attention and emotions, but now he was suffocated by the oath he had made.
“John and this little girl, is there really no room for negotiation?”
Kurkos looked at Amy and John with regret.
“Well, Dean, we’ve decided. It’s teacher Greenforth.”
After receiving their final confirmation, Kurkos slumped in the chair behind the desk and said in a dead voice,
“That’s it then. I hope you two can have a good time at Gustav Academy.” Kurkos suddenly leaned on the desk and said in disappointment, “Go away.”
“Thank you, Dean.”
Hearing this, John already knew that Dean Kurkos had completely compromised. Just as he was about to leave, a serious voice came from behind again.
“Old friend, you will personally lead the two students to their classroom to report to.”
“In addition, if the two of you have any thoughts of changing teachers, you can come here to find me at any time. That’s all.”
Kurkos seemed unwilling to give up his last hope. How much did he want to see this student in front of him become a top-notch magician of the human race in the future?
In the remaining years of his life, he only had this little hope, even if he couldn’t see it!
But in front of him was such a reality that even he, a late-stage Holy Light Magister, hadn’t expected it.
“Thank you, Dean. John will not forget the Dean’s teachings.”
At the same time, Greenforth also laughed:
“Thank you, old friend. Old Greenforth promises that he will teach the two of them everything he knows!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
Accompanied by Old Greenforth’s hearty laughter, the three of them left the office just like that.
In the Dean’s office, only Kurkos was left lying on the table with a depressed expression, thinking about life.
…
Following that, under the lead of Greenforth, the two of them first changed into the Academy’s exquisite robe.
This robe was the uniform of the students of the Gustav Academy of Magic. Regardless of whether it was the upper grade or the lower grade, they were all black and blue.
The difference was that there were no badges or stars on the cuffs of their uniforms. This also meant that they were only magic apprentices.
Then, led by Greenforth, they headed straight for the third-grade classroom building.
