Chapter 102: The Dean Master Interferes (1/2)
”Cheating?”
Lawrend repeated Instructor Kail's words with a frown.
”Yes! You must have used a Magic Artifact! You are disqualified till proven innocent!”
Instructor Kail nodded his head and shouted towards Lawrend.
”Corruption? Really? Even in this world?”
Lawrend shook his head in disappointment. It seems like corruption is the sickness of humanity. Even in this fantasy world, it existed.
”You! How dare you bend the truth!”
Aezel couldn't help but shout at Instructor Kail angrily.
”What do you mean? Everyone here agrees with me, right?”
At the end of his words, Instructor Kail gave each of the mages a threatening glare.
”Y-Yes.”
”I agree…”
The mages couldn't help but look away in shame. They didn't dare risk their chance to enroll in the Undrasil Mage Academy for some nobody they didn't know.
”Hehehe! That's right. You're cheating!”
Vernon laughed loudly before pointing towards Lawrend.
'Is this the academy that they attend? I can't help but worry about them.'
Lawrend thought to himself as worry grew inside his heart. If this was what it was like at the lower levels of the academy, what more inside? Could Aleshia and the rest have suffered some sort of abuse?
”Enough!”
Suddenly, a loud deep voice shouted towards them.
”D-Dean Master!”
Instructor Kail's face warped in horror seeing the old man walking towards them. He had a staunch face. His hair had already grayed from old age. Additionally, he wore a black cloak with a violet embroidery of a bird while in his hand was a long green staff.
”Oh, Instructor Kail.”
The Dean Master greeted Instructor Kail with a nod of his head. He is the highest authority within the Undrasil Mage Academy.
”S-Sir, what brings you here?”
Instructor Kail asked in a nervous stutter.
”I heard that someone defeated Vernon Rubrignis, the son of the next in line patriarch.”
The Dean Master replied to Instructor Kail calmly.
”But sir, his opponent used underhanded means…”
Instructor Kail insisted nervously.
”Huh!? Do you really think that someone called me here!?? I was watching the whole time you idiot!”
The Dean Master raised his staff and smacked Instructor Kail on his leg.
”Ah! Dean Master!”
Instructor Kail raised his leg and massaged the spot the Dean Master hit with his staff.
”You disgrace the academy! You are lucky the academy is not open today, or you would have disgraced yourself to all of our students!”
The Dean Master rebuked Instructor Kail angrily, who bowed his head in fear.
Lawrend and Aezel looked at the scene speechless. They didn't expect that someone would come and resolve the issue within seconds.
After several more rebukes, the Dean Master stopped and let go of Instructor Kail.
”Ehem. Vernon Rubrignis, you're forbidden from joining any of the Enrollment Tests within 2 years from now. That's an order from me! Tell that old man of yours that the Undrasil Mage Academy is not his!”
The Dean Master gave his verdict.
”N-No way! Dean Master, I beg you! My competitor Algus is trying to woo the Dark Angel of the Academy! Please, I beg you! I can't lose to him.”
Vernon Rubrignis dropped to the ground and kowtowed to the Dean Master pleadingly.
”Algus, huh… Certainly, he's a much better match for the Dark Angel than you.”
The Dean Master pondered in thought. He looked at the pitiful-looking Vernon Rubrignis in front of him with contempt.
”Dean Master!”
Vernon pleaded once again. This time he embraced the Dean Master's legs.
