Chapter 3: Returning Gratitude (1/2)
”I never thought I would meet such an interesting little thing in this place,” Instructor Leonardo said as he looked at the slim and lanky figure of the boy with a head full of white hair, a smile stretching across his face.
”Neither did I, instructor Leo.” Theo Rose said, feeling impressed with his tenacity and willpower but showing no interest in him.
”What do you think about him?” Instructor Leonardo asked as he pointed at Elliot.
Theo heard his words and rationally expressed his thoughts on the weakest magician in history, ”It's hard to see someone as hardworking and determined as Elliot in this city. However, there are a lot of people like him out there in the world. He is better than most students in this school but not special or unique compared to the rest of the world. From the looks of it, he will only score the lowest in the entrance examination of the academy. He won't be remarkable in the future.”
He wasn't interested in Elliot as his Eyes of Equality didn't pick up any significant signals from his body.
His eyes allowed him to judge the fate of others and much more!
Of course, since he didn't notice any traces of the golden radiance of glory around Elliot and only saw the black haze of death surrounding him, he determined that his future won't be remarkable and that he would die in at most a year.
”Maybe it will be as you say, but as long as he doesn't lose his determination, there will come a day where he will be able to prove himself in the eyes of others.”
Instructor Leonardo seems to hold high expectations of Elliot proving himself as something more than the weakest magician, and he was looking forward to it.
Theo shook his head, believing in the future predicted by his special eyes.
Elliot was gonna die and that too in a year.
He was sure as his eyes has never been wrong.
At the same time, Alexander and his friends were sitting on the benches with a disgruntled expressions on their faces as they looked at Elliot.
”Doesn't matter what he does. He is still a weakling that gets his ass handed out by me all the time,” Cain said as he looked at Elliot.
”Yeah, you're right, but that isn't changing the fact that you all lost the bet, and I won it. Hurry up and hand it over to me before I beat it out of you all!” Big Boss said with a hearty laugh as he looked at Alexander, Cain, and their friend.
”Don't get angry, Big Boss.”
”I will give you the promised money right away.”
”Here you go.”
The three of them opened their wallets, took a good sum of money from it, and handed it over to the big boss of the school with a smile.
”Good! Since you acted sensibly, I won't beat the crap out of you. Now scram before you piss me off!” The big boss said as he looked at them with murderous eyes.
The group of three friends Immediately stood up for their seat and went away from the big boss as they knew that pissing him off will not end well for them.
”I owe him one. Next time if he is in trouble, I will help him out and repay this favor.” The Big Boss muttered under his breath as he counted the money in his hand with a beaming smile on his face.
A few moments later, one of the teachers of the magician school stood before the students and said, ”Gather up. The instructor has something important to announce.”
