Chapter 127 - Unusual Activity in the Imperial Capital!
Chapter 127: Unusual Activity in the Imperial Capital!
At this moment, Dean Ofia was looking at the magic communication paper in her hand and felt a headache.
Just now, the people in the Academy were looking for Unknown, but no matter where they looked, they couldn’t find him.
At first, it didn’t click, but when she saw the record of the First Tower Climb, Ofia vaguely understood, it was very likely that this person was not from the Academy, which explains why he had such a record.
He was not from the Academy, but he could still use the Academy’s Trial Tower.
The only other trial door was in Autumn’s hand, and on top of that, Autumn had previously said that she had met an extremely talented student.
Then there was an extremely high probability that Unknown was the student Autumn had mentioned!
As expected of a Saint-rank powerhouse, Ofia immediately got a hang of what was going on.
Of course, there was another reason why she was so quick-witted. As the Dean, Ofia knew the names of the people who had high tiers in her Academy.
She had no impression of Unknown.
Of course, she was still a little uncertain, so she directly sent a message to confirm it.
The blue paper in the Dean’s hand constantly flickered.
This was an alchemy product that used spatial magic, allowing one party to call the other party.
The other party received the message in an instant and replied with haste.
“Dear Dean Ofia, you’re looking for me?”
Ofia felt like laughing when she read Autumn’s words that were feigning obedience.
You, a witch of the demon world, have always been a troublemaker in the Academy, why did you become so obedient today? Your personality has changed?
However, Ofia couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with Autumn. She asked Autumn frankly, “Is that Unknown your student?”
This was what Ofia wanted to know the most at the moment.
“Unknown? What Unknown? I don’t have any friends with that name by my side.”
Autumn was still desperately playing dumb, unwilling to admit that the person was Eddie at all.
“Is it so that I have to ban your access to the trial door, or else you won’t be willing to tell the truth?”
This directly hit Autumn’s Achilles’ heel.
She still had to rely on the Trial Tower to train Eddie, so she couldn’t allow Ofia to ban her access to the trial gate.
If she did, it would also make it easy for something bad to happen, which would at the same time attract some “disasters” to the Academy.
Autumn immediately became obedient.
“That Unknown is one of my students. He’s not in the Academy.”
Autumn’s meaning was very clear. This is one of my students, but we are not in the Academy, and thus do not need to obey the Academy’s commands.
There’s no way you can do anything you want, so don’t even think about it.
But how could Ofia care about what Autumn said?
So what if he wasn’t in the Academy? Didn’t you also say that this was your student? Then, in the end, he would still have to listen to you.
“Everything else doesn’t matter, but he has to be there during the trials of the Four Great Magic Academies.”
Ofia immediately made her request.
Although she had only watched Eddie climb the Tower, Ofia had a strong feeling that this child was very likely to be the key in the coming competition between the Magic Academies.
Moreover, he looked so young, and his talent was so high.
“Don’t even think of saying the excuse that he is a member of your demon race, and the demon race has its rules. Even if he is the demon king, you have to bring him here to participate in the competition of the Four Great Academies!”
Ofia directly blocked any other excuse that could come out of the other party’s mouth, and Autumn was at a loss for words.
Ofia felt that for someone to be able to have such strength at this age, there was a high probability that he was also a demon, like Autumn.
As long as Autumn was willing to help, wouldn’t her disciple immediately switch sides and come to the Holy Bauhinia Magic Academy?
However, Autumn felt that the Dean had clearly misunderstood.
“Dean Ofia, my student is only a human. He’s only 14 years old now, he’s still too young. I suggest waiting for a few more years?”
Wait a moment!?
Autumn’s words shocked even the Saint-rank powerhouse Ofia.
What did you say?
That Unknown who climbed to the 40th floor of the Tower in one go was only a 14-year-old human boy?
“Yes, Dean.”
Oh My God!
This time, even Dean Ofia had a shocked expression on her face.
Then, an extremely excited expression appeared on her face.
“You actually have such a talented student, this is just… Great!”
Dean Ofia was happy for Autumn.
It was no wonder that when she asked for the trial door, her attitude was so resolute.
It turned out that it was all for this student of hers.
“Stop pretending. I’ll be straightforward. What are the conditions you want for you to be willing to lend your student to me in the next competition of the Four Great Academies?”
Ofia did not stand on ceremony and directly made an offer to Autumn.
If it was really as Autumn had said, that Unkown had reached such strength at the age of 14, then with his participation, they could definitely win the competition of the Four Great Academies this time!
As long as they could win, they could offer anything Unknown wanted.
After all, even a Saint-rank powerhouse couldn’t resist the temptation of activating the complete magic relic.
However, after quite some time, Autumn still didn’t put her pen on the paper and state her conditions.
She simply replied, “Dean Ofia, although I am Eddie’s teacher, I can’t make decisions for him. I promise you that I will try to help you ask.”
A Saint-rank powerhouse allowing you to make any request, whose desire wouldn’t be aroused by this?
Autumn was naturally very tempted as well, but she couldn’t do as she wished.
Or rather, she didn’t dare to do so.
Although Eddie was her student, she was kidnapped to be his teacher.
To be honest, her status was very low.
Whether it was Lady Emily, Thor, or Hermione, if any of them knew that she had secretly sold Eddie behind their backs, they would probably barricade her in a corner and teach her a good lesson.
“Alright, then contact me when you’ve thought it through.”
After all, Ofia was a Saint-rank powerhouse. She didn’t have that much time to waste with Autumn.
After leaving these words, Dean Ofia went offline.
Looking at the magic communication paper that was slowly turning gray, Autumn felt both pity and relief.
The pity was because she couldn’t accept the request from a Saint-rank powerhouse, which could be said to be a huge favor.
The relief was because she had stood firm on her grounds.
Or rather it was more out of fear towards the maidservants in the castle.
The people inside were more ruthless than the last.
They were not people she could afford to provoke.
The competition of the Four Great Magic Academies?
We’ll talk about it later, maybe later.
… … … …
Eddie, who had just finished showering after all the trouble, was still made to waste time and effort on the getting dressed up part.
It was mainly because Thor and Hermione had gotten into a fight regarding who could help Eddie dress up after his shower.
Eddie, who was watching from the side, was very speechless.
They were going back and forth with their spiteful remarks and attacks, but for what?
Just for the right to help him dress up?
This was simply ridiculous!
Eddie, who was wearing a bathrobe, directly took the clothes.
He would return to his bedroom and slowly put them on, let these two mischievous fellows continue to fool around here.
Just as Eddie was preparing to go change and have a good rest, over at the Imperial Capital, Family Head Lowe and the subordinates he summoned were currently gathered within the Family.
