Chapter 21: The Best in the Magic Academy!
After the award ceremony, General Morton and his men left.
As a lieutenant of the army, Charlot held great power.
He was busy with a lot of things every day!
Once General Morton left, Charlot put away the uniform and medals.
Then, he ate a simple meal in the cafeteria of the nursing home.
Next, he would be very busy!
The building of the Academy of Magic could not be done without him, the dean!
The installation and construction of various facilities, including the location and size of various buildings, required the approval from Charlot.
At the same time, he was also responsible for the details of the enrollment and the setup of the entrance examination.
Although the World Alliance had assigned a special staff team to Charlot, he still needed to spend a lot of time on the project.
At three o’clock, he went to the residential area of the nursing home.
He told the old people and nurses that they would become the first batch of students of the Magic Academy!
To his surprise, almost everyone was sobbing!
Old John, who was the closest to Charlot, walked over and held his hand tightly.
“Thank you!”
“I didn’t expect to become a magician one day in my old age!”
“Thank you!”
Charlot put his arms around Old John’s shoulders and said with a smile, “Old John, in the future, I’ll need your help with the Magic Academy! You are all the big shots in future!”
Old John kept nodding, and tears of joy flowed down his face!
Charlot stayed with the old men for a while.
These old men were all his true confidants in the future!
After more than an hour, he left the nursing home in a car with a few others.
He wanted to go to the construction site of the Magic Academy and oversee the progress of the construction with his own eyes.
The West District was a very prosperous district. From the city to the suburbs, it would take almost an hour even by car.
In the car, Charlot turned on her cell phone and found that Vera had sent four messages to her.
‘Really? In a little while, I will be able to enter the Magic Academy?’
‘Charlot, I’m sorry… I was chatting with my mother just now and forgot to reply to you!’
‘Are you asleep?’
‘Are you angry?’
Charlot smiled helplessly and quickly replied, ‘I’m not angry. I went to sleep after sending you the message yesterday.’
‘I’ve been too tired these past few days!’
Almost at the instant that Charlot sent the message, Vera replied immediately!
‘Then you have to rest well and take care of your body!’
‘Is there anything I can help you with?’
Charlot thought for a moment. Vera was a student of a famous university and she was very capable.
Moreover, she would be his own assistant in the future.
In this way, it was reasonable to let her get in touch with the matters related to the Magic Academy in advance!
‘If you have nothing to do now, come with me to take a look at the construction of the Academy!’
‘I’m fine! I have nothing to do in the afternoon!’ Vera replied in a second.
‘Then send me a location. I’ll go and pick you up now!’
After receiving Charlot’s disappearance, Vera sent her location directly.
Then…
She began to rummage through the wardrobe to try on clothes!
As the saying goes, a woman looks good for herself!
Vera’s liking for Charlot was almost apparent on her face!
Now, she actually had the chance to do business with the person she liked!
This feeling of working together to improve made Vera feel intoxicated!
“This one is too revealing…”
“This one doesn’t work either. The color is so old!”
“Doesn’t this one look too mature?”
“Hmm… this one is not bad. Try something else!”
…
When Charlot arrived at Vera’s house in a car, Vera was still trying on clothes!
He had sent two messages but didn’t get a reply.
Then he directly made a video call!
After more than ten seconds, the call was picked up!
In the video call, Vera’s face was rosy, and she looked panicky.
Charlot thought something had happened, so he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? I’m already downstairs!”
“Everything’s fine. I-I will come down right now!”
Vera hung up the phone shyly, and then she directly chose the one she was most satisfied with among the messy clothes in her room!
She wore a woolen sweater on the top half and a denim coat on the outside.
The bottom half was a waist-length skirt.
The overall color was light, which perfectly reflected the youthful vitality of the girl!
When Charlot saw Vera coming from afar, he couldn’t help but be stunned!
The girl didn’t wear makeup. Her smooth and thick hair was lazily draped over her shoulders.
The soft knitted sweater that matched the denim coat perfectly displayed the girl’s beautiful figure!
Her long, straight legs made Charlot’s throat feel a little dry.
He gentlemanly opened the car door for Vera.
“Vera, you are… so beautiful today.”
“Was I not beautiful? in the past?” Vera’s eyes rolled around. She pretended to be angry.
Charlot coughed and didn’t say anything else.
After letting Vera sit in the back seat, he opened the door of the passenger seat.
“No. 1, Let’s Go!”
“Yes, General!”
No. 1 replied meticulously and started slowly, trying to give Charlot the most perfect ride experience!
“General?”
In the back seat, Vera pulled her hair and blinked her big eyes curiously.
Charlot nodded and said calmly, “I’m now a General of the World Alliance!”
“But… it’s just an empty position with no power!”
“Wow!” Vera covered her mouth in surprise.
In a girl’s heart, the position of a general could only be undertaken by a serious-looking old man in his forties or fifties!
Now, Charlot was about the same age as hers, yet he was already in such a high position!
But when she thought that he had established the Magic Academy and be its principal, the rank of a general did not seem to be a grand title.
“Charlot… You’re really amazing!”
The young girl’s eyes were filled with a gentle smile. Looking at Charlot’s handsome side profile through the rearview mirror, she could not help but be a little stunned.
“Cough!”
He coughed dryly and looked at No. 1 who was driving beside her without blinking.
Then, he said somewhat awkwardly, “D-Don’t praise me, I might be proud later.”
“You deserve to be proud!”
The girl clenched her small fists tightly, her face full of seriousness!
That made him speechless.
For a moment, they were not sure whether the atmosphere in the car had become awkward or ambiguous…
About an hour later, they arrived at the suburbs of Newsy.
On the way, they could already see all kinds of large trucks coming and going!
When they arrived at the official site of the Magic Academy, even Charlot was stunned!
