80 Back to Odemore
Sully landed on the ship, slowly, to not break anything.
“Jack, my friend. I saw you from above and had to stop to say hello.” Arthur said as he jumped from Sully’s back, landing in front of Jack.
“Arthur, bastard. I don’t see you for some time and you’re now riding enormous beasts. How?”
Jack wanted a flying beast too after seeing how bad ass it looked.
“I’m amazing, that’s why. Anyway, Jack, what are you doing in these parts?”
“You’ll not believe it. Come, let’s talk inside my room.”
The rest of the crew could not understand what was happening, but it seemed Jack was okay with a huge wyvern inside their ship, so they did not mind it either.
Inside the captain’s room, Arthur and Jack sat on two comfy chairs and talked about something that surprised Arthur a lot.
“You know about that new school of magic that’s on an island far from here?”
Arthur was well-aware of that as he was the president of such a school.
“I do, yes. What did you find?”
Jack took out a piece of paper and said, “here, look. It is a treasure map that leads to that island. We are currently going there to look for it.”
“No way, really?” Arthur said with his eyes wide-open.
The coincidence was too much, and seeing that Jack and his crew would go to the island anyway, he might as well tell him about.
“Jack, I’m the president of that academy, so I want to take part in the treasure hunt when you arrive.”
“What? You’re joking, right? You’re a pirate, what are you talking about, a president of a magic academy? Good joke Arthur, good joke.” Jack said, but when he looked at Arthur’s serious face, he could not believe it.
“Wait, are you serious? How the hell did that happen?”
“I told you, I’m amazing.”
“I’m seeing that, anyway. You can take part in the treasure hunt, too. It is actually a good thing because you probably know more about the island than me.”
Jack took the map away and stored it in a safe space. Arthur liked Jack, and he going into his island did not pose a threat.
“I’ll arrive at least 10 days earlier than you, so you should look for the school, and ask about me to anyone. Say you are a friend of mine.”
“All right, bro. Thanks.”
“Well, I have to keep going. It was nice to see you Jack, take care.”
“You too, buddy.”
Arthur left the captain’s room, said goodbye to everyone, and went flying again.
“What did you two talked inside that room?” Sully said.
“You won’t believe it. Jack has a treasure map, and guess where the treasure is? On your island.”
“What? That is too much of a coincidence. Did he let us go treasure hunting with him?”
“Yes, he did, but we will arrive way earlier than him, so we will have to wait.”
“Yes, there’s that. These slow ships can’t compare to my greatness.”
Arthur and Sully kept flying and reached the island after 2 days.
The students saw from afar the huge wyvern, and everyone already knew it was their president.
“He’s so bad ass.”
“He’s so good-looking.”
“He’s so strong.”
These types of phrases were common, and Arthur did not mind it.
Jane and Wisa went outside after hearing the student’s whispering about Arthur, and they also saw him descending into the ground.
They controlled themselves in front of the students, especially Wisa, who was holding herself to not kiss Arthur.
Arthur jumped from Sully’s back, who went flying towards the deep parts of the island.
“Long time no see. Let’s talk inside my office for a moment.” Arthur said.
When the three of them went inside the office, Arthur took off the defensive magic array.
“This was a little expensive, but it should hold against most creatures. I also put some of my items in the auction, so it was a profit in the end.”
Jane and Wisa scanned the scroll, and they both could sense it was indeed a strong magic array.
“The range is 3 km, but I think we can rearrange it to only block the school perimeter.”
“Yes, I can do that.” Wisa said.
She was the person with the highest mana control of the three, so it was the best if she set up the array.
“I’ll leave it to you then.”
Arthur gave the scroll to her, and she left to set it up as soon as possible.
Jane took the chance to give Arthur a hug and talk about what had happened in the last few days.
“The girl and Theodore are doing well in class?”
“Yes, both of them are talented, and are the best students, at least for now.”
“Good, good. Also, Jane, I’m thinking of making a tournament 3 months from now, and the top 10 will get rewards, such as money, and make them prestige disciples or something like that. I think it is a good way to motivate them.”
“I like that idea. Should I tell the students about it during class?”
“That would be the best.”
Jane left after that, as she had classes to attend to.
Arthur was all alone inside his office, and could not wait for the dinner with Wisa, and if he was not mistaken, it would be the next day.
“What should I do in the meantime? Right, it’s been a while since the last time I saw Kai.” Arthur thought.
Kai was busy with the classes, but Arthur promised to help him with his training, at least teach him some of his dragon skills.
Arthur left his office and went looking for Kai, who was talking with some students during his break, which were all women.
“Sup, Kai. How’s going?”
Kai knew Arthur for a long time and always saw him as his teacher and friend. He answered him in a normal tone, “I’m just chilling.”
The girls, though, were all nervous after seeing the president of their academy so close.
