Chapter 68：False Magician (2/2)

They saw the guy in Kiko's group guffawing while holding his stomach. The guy named Bruno.

Kiko grinned. After noticing that everyone came into a sudden dead silence, Bruno opened his mouth saying, ”Everyone, dude, I think it is only natural that Toad-guy has no mana-excess, enveloping his body. After all, that Toad doesn't have mana in the first place!”

The crowd suddenly broke into whispers again. They thought that, what Bruno said was logical.

Almina knitted her brows in disgust towards Bruno. Goki and Yman frowned. He knew what this guy was trying to say. But actually, he didn't care about it. If this mana controlling really that great, then he needed its greatness not the praises from others.

On the official's table, Mayor Chan and Chief Henderson were having dumbfounded faces.

”That kid had no mana?!” Mayor Chan asked in a slightly higher voice.

”Is that right, Mr. Principal?” Followed by Chief Henderson.

The principal glanced at his assistant and saw her nodded.

”Yeah. It seems he was born as no mana.” The principal replied with a forced smile.

”Then he is an ordinary person. How come he was accepted in this academy? I thought you only recruited talented magicians this year, Principal Mar? Wait, he could not even be considered a magician in that case.” Mayor Chan questioned the principal with a frown.

”Wait. Wasn't it against the rules of the academy to accept a no mana trainee? After all, it was a Magic Academy. This academy only belongs to magicians.” The chief added.

The principal felt he was in trouble. Thankfully the assistant whispered in his ear. The principal sighed in relief.

”Actually, the attendants who evaluated him found a Hollow Cell inside him. But in the report, it says that his Hollow Cell was acting abnormally. It didn't produce mana. However, that kid seemingly had this ability known as 'Channeling'?”

”Hm, channeling?” The chief repeated. The chief was a little bit surprised. It's not like this ability was not known. Actually, this ability was well-known for being a trash ability.

”Yeah, it must be like that.” Principal Mar nodded.

”Tsk. Wasn't that wasting our resources only? If that kid was admitted to this academy just because of that channeling then it's just a waste of resources.” Mayor Chan spat annoyingly.

Not only that kid would never be a talent worth mentioning. He would never be a vital magician in the future. It was better to send him into the construction site or become an herbs collector outside the city, or any work to contribute to the city except being a trainee.

In this world, or in every Human City in this world, the most banned type of people is those unproductive people and has a vague future. Every human sent to this world was only those humans that could contribute to the city.

The trainees that were sent here were free of tuition and they had been given a free allowance in the first month. After that, they needed to do a mission to earn money for themselves. While they were doing missions, they not only fed themselves they also made contributions to the city and even to this world. They needed to be independent while being helpful to the city at the same time.

This was the other side of this Human City and the academy.

And being a trainee wasn't easy. They needed to become strong if they wanted to stay long in this academy. If not, they would definitely find themselves at a loss when the time comes that they needed to venture into the more dangerous place.

However, no mana and only a channeler? — what can it do? This kid will probably face a dead end sooner or later. Only a true magician with actual mana could breakthrough this dead end. This kid is not suitable inside the academy. The Mayor thought.

”So he is a channeler, or also known as a — False Magician.” Chief Henderson muttered.

Principal Mar started to feel troubled, ”In any case, for now, let's see his performance first.” Principal Mar said in order to divert the issue.

”Hm, yeah, it must be the best we can do at the moment,” agreed by the chief.

He knew a little about the channeling ability, but he was in a hollow about the mana controlling ability of it. Although, that other kid said that it was because the other kid has no mana. However, the chief knew that a channeler could access mana in a different way. But he didn't know how it works. This channeling ability is actually hard to comprehend. This was the chief honest thought at the moment.

Mayor Chan knitted his brows in annoyance but didn't contradict the two.

Kiko on the sideline was grinning. Looks like the officials, the trainees, and the instructors had started to doubt that person.

This is good, he thought.

After noticing the discontent on the officials' faces towards that person, especially the mayor, ”I have a suggestion!” Kiko voices out.

”Suggestion?” The crowd started to whisper at each other again.

”Suggestion?” Beth repeated.

”Bwahaha, that brat seemed to be up to something,” Torr laughed and said.

”Why not let him speak about this suggestion of his,” Musk agreed.

The chief nodded his head slightly.

Yman felt that this guy was up to something. He was sure Kiko was planning something against him. Anyway, when did this guy able to use his brain? It was out of his character.
