Chapter 29: A Sudden Visit

Outside the door, when Number One said that Anthony and Nancy were visiting, Charlot was stunned.

What were these two doing here?

Hadn’t Anthony already given up on expecting Little Tina to study in the Magic Academy?

While tidying up the room, Charlot said, “Invite them in.”

He was a single man, so the room must be in a mess.

After a while, Anthony, who was in military uniform, and Nancy, who was in neat business attire, walked in.

Neither of them was in a good mood.

There was even a hint of fatigue on Nancy’s face.

When they saw Charlot, both of them forced a smile on their faces.

“Mr. Charlot… Sorry for showing up here all of a sudden.”

“It’s okay. The house is a bit messy.”

With a grin, Charlot invited them into the house.

“Please have a seat.”

After pouring a glass of water for each of them, he looked at them in confusion.

“What brings you here?”

Looking at Nancy, Anthony grabbed her hand before turning to Charlot.

“Nancy and I thought about it carefully for three days, and we’ve finally decided… to let Tina enroll in the Magic Academy!”

“What?”

Charlot was shocked!

He could feel the love Anthony and Nancy had for little Tina.

A few days ago, he had also clearly noticed that Anthony had given up on the idea of letting Tina enroll.

Why would Anthony suddenly come here today to let Tina study there?

After some thought, he inquired, “Mr. Anthony, may I know why you changed your mind? Previously, you have obviously given up on letting Tina enroll in the Academy.”

Following a nod, Anthony revealed a bitter smile.

“That’s right, I really didn’t want Tina to enroll in the Magic Academy before this. She’s only ten years old, and she’s at her most carefree time. As a parent, I really can’t bear to let her shoulder so much responsibility and pressure, which should be borne by people like me. Tina is still a child!”

As he spoke, Anthony’s eyes reddened, and Nancy, who was beside him, showed signs of choking up.

Then, he calmed himself down and continued.

“But, just like what you said, three years later, there will be a catastrophe for the entire world. No one will be able to escape this catastrophe. Everyone thus has to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations so that they can survive this catastrophe together. Tina is very cute. She is my most precious daughter. But at the same time, she is also a talented magician. As a father, I would like to selfishly use all my love to protect and accompany Tina. But as a soldier, I can not be so selfish!”

He then clenched his fists before he added, “I have discussed it with Nancy. We decided to let her join the Magic Academy. You will personally teach her. In the future, when the calamity of the Otherworld appears, we won’t stop her from killing the enemy! We only have one request.”

Charlot’s expression was serious. While nodding his head, he asked, “What is it?”

“Can you admit Nancy and me into the Magic Academy as well? We can resign from our positions in the army and the House of Representatives. We are happy to work as nurses and cleaners in the Magic Academy! In the last three years of our lives, we want to be by Tina’s side!”

After saying that, Anthony and Nancy, who had already shed tears, looked at Charlot with pleading eyes.

Charlot was thus plunged into silence.

The couple in front of her were no ordinary people.

One was a lieutenant in the army, while the other was the president of the House of Representatives!

Their rights were enough for them to enjoy any prosperity and beauty in the world.

But now, in order to ensure that their daughter can fight against the calamity of the Otherworld three years later, they should also do their duty.

That was why they chose to resign!

They were even willing to be a nurse and a cleaner in the Magic Academy!

At this moment, what one could feel was the great love of a father and a mother.

At the same time, there was also the selflessness and greatness of a human!

After staring at Anthony and Nancy solemnly, Charlot extended his right hand.

“Mr. Anthony and Ms. Nancy, welcome to the Magic Academy! As for your positions… I think that an army lieutenant and a president of the House of Representatives are too overqualified to be in charge of cleaning and nursing!”

Charlot smiled and continued in a deep voice under Anthony and Nancy’s puzzled eyes.

“My Magic Academy is still lacking a Vice President and a leader of the Magic Army. Are you interested?”

Anthony and Nancy smiled excitedly almost at the same time!

“Yes! Mr. Charlot, we’re happy to help! As long as we can be with Tina, we are willing to do anything!”

Anthony almost burst into tears!

Nancy wiped the tears off her face and looked at Charlot solemnly.

“Mr. Charlot, thank you for your understanding. Anthony and I… are grateful for your help.”

Shaking his head, Charlot sighed and said, “No, I should be the one thanking you. Also, on behalf of the entire human race, I would like to thank both of you for your dedication! Undoubtedly, you have nurtured an outstanding daughter, and you are even willing to send her to the Magic Academy. Such selflessness and greatness is something I should be extremely grateful for. Trust me. When Tina is in the Academy, I will personally teach her magic. I will definitely make her the most powerful magician! I hope that she will also bring more hope to the entire human race in the face of the catastrophe from the Otherworld three years from now.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony wiped his tears and tightly hugged his wife’s shoulders.
