Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 415 The Quality of Education in the Seidel Kingdom

In the blink of an eye, Newton read the entire message from Vicente, or rather Cesar Mazzanti.

Vicente didn’t give all the details of what had happened to him since their last meeting. But he described the most important things, saying that he had recently become a Mage and that his first pentagram had developed to the orange grade.

These were things that anyone who saw him fight would notice, so telling Newton wouldn’t put Vicente in any danger.

When he finished reading the letter, Newton had a very interested look, sensing that Cesar’s talent was even greater than it seemed.

‘Could it be that his Magic Gem has developed some kind of consciousness?’ The white-haired man ignored the woman staring at him as he thought about Cesar.

According to some theories that Newton had studied, some Magic Gems capable of forming individual consciousnesses could hide their users’ talent levels to protect them.

Not all gems known for their ability to form consciousness had this ability, but there were documented cases of it.

Since Vicente was progressing much faster than someone of his talent level should, even considering well-fed geniuses, this teacher couldn’t help but consider this explanation.

‘It doesn’t matter now. If he’s a Mage, his powers have significantly increased, and he needs a new pentagram.’ He went over to his desk, where various letters, scrolls, and books were.

Layla watched as the man quickly searched through the many papers on the desk until he found a crumpled letter.

He asked her as he looked at it. “Where is he now? How long will it take you to solve your current problems?”

In the previous message, Vicente had told Newton that they couldn’t meet for a few days because he was solving a problem. However, he said he would speak to this professor personally once he had solved the problem. In particular, he made it clear that he would begin his search for a new pentagram shortly after their following conversation.

Layla didn’t know what Vicente had told Newton, but she was sincere. “He’s in the city. And it could be two days or ten days. I’m not sure.”

He took something out of his spatial ring and handed it to Layla. “Give this to him. Tell him to talk to me through this communicator while he’s in Ironcrest.

I don’t know what kind of trouble you’re in, but use this if you need to get out of the city rapidly. I’ll give him directions then.”

“Okay,” Layla said, finding it strange that Newton was so interested in Vicente.

He continued as he sat next to the table full of documents and books, “Tell him I’ll do my best to find his third essence.

I already have some preliminary information about compatible beings that could form the pentagram of our interest. But I’ll see if I can get more information, or at least better information, in the next few days.”

“All right, I’ll do that.”

“As for what he asked me, tell him I’ll look into it when I go to Millfall to see him. I don’t know if I’ll be able to fulfill what he expects of me since I’ll be changing posts soon.” He said, thinking of the request Vicente had made in the message.

Vicente had said that there was one person in his group that he wanted Newton to consider taking as a disciple.

Newton didn’t have any disciples at the moment, but he didn’t mind doing so to have more constant contact with Cesar. However, he had recently reached the limit of what Ironcrest could offer him.

Having already secured promotions within the royal forces, all he had to do was let his superior know when he wanted to move on and be transferred.

“I’ll become a temporary teacher at the Royal Academy of Saltstar City soon after I pass through Millfall to see how he’s doing. After that, it will be difficult for me to meet his expectations without bringing such a person to my side. From his words, I sense he doesn’t want that.” He said to Layla.

“Are you going to Saltstar City?” She was surprised, considering that Newton had been in Ironcrest since beginning his journey within the royal forces.

He explained. “I’ll stay in Saltstar City until I reach the 4th stage, and then I’ll go to the kingdom’s capital to join the Seidel Magic College.”

As weak as the Seidel Kingdom was on the continent, its college and Royal Academies did not lose to others on the continent!

There were two types of teachers at the Royal Academies in this state. One was the assistant teacher, who would be an Acolyte, and the other was the main teacher, someone with 3rd stage comprehension and cultivation. On the other hand, in the kingdom’s college, things were much stricter, and all the teachers there were Sovereigns!

Because of this, even though the number of specialists in the kingdom was small, it had great professionals at the 3rd and even 4th stages.

What made the kingdom different from other stronger states on the continent was that the natives didn’t go very far after reaching the level of Sovereigns. The few who could go further left the state sooner or later, often taking their families with them. In other words, they did not return to stimulate local growth.

But the same level of primary education for children, teenagers, and even magicians at the beginning of their adult lives that one would find in a stronger state, one would find in the Seidel Kingdom. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Therefore, it wasn’t uncommon for people who took Newton’s path to stay in their home state until they had achieved as much as they could locally, and only then to leave for higher places.

Some didn’t because they generally believed they could grow faster in more competitive environments. However, some preferred to grow safely and only move on to stronger places when they had a solid foundation.

Layla didn’t know what Vicente had asked Newton, but she replied. “I’ll let him know. Anyway, it’s a surprise that you are leaving Ironcrest. You’ve lived here since you were young, right?”

“Not quite…” Newton muttered. “I lived in the capital for a while and passed through other provinces before returning to Ironcrest. It’s a long and boring story. You should go now.” He walked to his office door and opened it for Layla.

“By the way, give him this as well. That is a device that can hold a pentagram for a few hours. It might come in handy on the hunt he’s going on soon.”

After storing this 3rd-grade device in a spatial ring, Layla said goodbye to Newton and left Rexnelts Academy, but without going directly to Vicente.

Now, it was time for her to wait for him to contact her when she needed to rescue Jasmine!
