Andrew was surprised to find that Mary and Tim were a step behind him when he returned home. They were still on the road.

‘They’re probably collecting various awards at the school.’

He wasn’t in a hurry. He casually sat on the sofa and picked up a newspaper to read. About half an hour later, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Mary excitedly pushed the door open, followed by Tim, who appeared much more composed.

“Dad! Did you know? This time, my brother got the first place in the Academy’s Grand Competition!”

“How is it? Isn’t it amazing!”

“And I’ve also won several matches in a row in the competition of the apprentice realm!”

Tim, who followed behind, only smiled faintly.

“Yeah, now our family’s financial conditions are much better than before. The scholarship this time is worth tens of thousands.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Andrew had a serene expression, which astounded Mary.

“Dad, you’re too calm.”

Andrew was about to say something when there was a knock on the door again.

“Who is it?”

Tim patted his head.

“I’m sorry, I forgot we brought our Academy’s teacher here.”

After saying this, a middle-aged man with a full beard entered the room. He was dressed in a dark green robe.

‘An intermediate mage?’

Andrew sensed him.

“This is my mentor, Mr. Kant.”

“He is also a mage who cultivates both the wind and fire elements.”

Tim hurriedly introduced him.

The middle-aged man called Kant also walked quickly to Andrew.

“Mr. Smith, I feel that your Tim has great potential. It would be a pity to graduate just like this.”

“I have an acquaintance in the southeast province’s United Academy. I can write a recommendation letter. What do you think? If Tim continues to study here, he won’t be able to maximize his potential.”

This teacher said quite sincerely, while Andrew only nodded calmly.

“Regarding this matter, you can just ask Tim yourself.”

He said indifferently. Having Topa with Tim, it would be the same whether he joined the United Academy or not. Andrew was too lazy to chat with this teacher. He directly walked into the study and prepared to continue fiddling with his intermediate spells, this made Mary and Tim feel a little awkward.

“I’m sorry, teacher. I don’t know why, but recently, my father’s temper has been a little strange.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Since your father said that you can make the decision yourself, then Tim, are you willing to go to the United Academy?”
