Chapter 20: Dream (1/2)

”For your info, I am still a virgin that hasn't gotten deflowered in any way. If you don't believe my words, then marry me, and you'll know after a night together.” She said those words in a seductive voice before walking away from him.

Everyone kept on looking at Lisa and Elliot in wonderment and bewilderment.

What a shocking scene this is!

They couldn't help but keep on looking at the boy who used to be the weakest magician and the youngest princess of the Charlotte Family.

At that moment, instructor Nina's voice sounded in the teenagers' ears, waking them up from their stupor.

”Ahem! Group 11, please come to take the test.” She mentioned the names of a group of students, telling them to hurry up and get assessed.

The testing began once again.

While the last group went up to face the badass Metal Golems, Theo turned towards Elliot and said, ”Man, you're great. Any other person would have accepted her hand in marriage, or at least not refuse her as coldly as you did.”

”It isn't as simple as it seems,” Elliot said with a helpless look.

”Care to tell what I am missing?” Theo asked, a teasing smile on his face.

”Lisa is beautiful and belongs to the richest family in the magician community, but I can't compromise my interest and priorities for her. I would have knocked her up without hesitation if my priorities weren't more important to me than chasing after the skirt of a rich beauty to live a lavish life.” Elliot expressed his real feelings.

Lisa was among the popular girl on the campus, the dream of many young men, and the youngest and most beloved daughter of the Charlotte Family, one of the famous families in the magician community, yet Elliot was only a young magician without any merits to his name and an orphan, a child without any parents.

It was a fortune for someone like him to even survive in a war-riddled world like this.

Accepting her hand in marriage would have allowed him to live in lavish life and given him a family, a place to call home, and only he knew the willpower it took to refuse her proposal.

”Oh, what are you interested in that makes you safe from the seduction of one of the most beautiful ladies in the magician community?” Theo asked with a look of anticipation.

”I'm more interested in exploring Xavier, the settlement of the Ancient Civilization, and their inheritance trials, and in completing said trials to obtain artifacts, magic knowledge, and various treasure that'll help me become strong, evolve, increase my lifespan and push me towards the secret of space. I don't want my life to end witnessing the wonders of Earth and Xavier only. I want to go far beyond that.”

Elliot had such thoughts since he was a young boy, but he couldn't act on them.

He was helpless and powerless.

His parents also died, but thanks to their contribution, the Magician Association provided for him for years. But what they gave him was too little, only enough for him to get by day by day. He didn't obtain magic coins, the main currency of the magician community, and only by using it can a magician purchase items such as pills, medicine, and so on, that help increase a person's magic energy.

Now, however, he had obtained a godly artifact belonging to the Northern Duke of Dark Starlight.

He could use it to evolve endlessly.

He wanted to travel across the starry skies.

If Hell and Heaven mentioned in the myths exist, then he wanted to go to those places, possibly even revive his parents.

”Hahahahahaha!” Theo laughed out loud, unable to stop himself.

The glow surrounding Elliot has thickened by saying mere words, and it made him realize what a joke his eyes that could determine fate and destiny with a single look was before him.

”You think my dreams are something to laugh about?” Elliot's eyebrows raised, expressing slight displeasure.

”Ah, no. Don't misunderstand me.” Theo shook his head in a hurry, worried that the only human he could feel alive interacting with will turn away from him.

”Really? Then tell me about your dream?!” Elliot said, looking at Theo with a look that said, since I have told you about my dreams, you better tell me about yours, too.

”It's the same as yours but not nearly as grand,” Theo replied, a lost in thoughts look on his face.

”Hmm?” Elliot hummed as he looked at him in anticipation.
