"Lord, all the gold coins have been transported from Luo Du, but the quantity is enormous, and I don't know where it would be appropriate to store them. All the magical items you specified have also been purchased, and the magic room of the Mage Tower has been dismantled. All the useful items have been delivered." Outside the magic room, Arthur looked at Crassus respectfully, and said.
"As for the gold coins, let's just pile them up on the first floor. I just asked Norvan a few days ago for the first floor to store the gold coins. The magical items will be stored in another magic room, categorized and arranged. In two days, I can start building the new magic room for Little Amy." Crassus said with a smile, his expression expectant.
"Okay." Arthur nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord, the people from the Mage Tower have arrived. They should be at the entrance of Chaos Academy now. Besides challenging Chaos Academy, they also want to pay their respects to you. Would you like to see them today?"
"No, I still need to teach Little Amy magic. Besides, most of these guys are up to no good. If they want to challenge Amy, let them challenge Chaos Academy first. Amy will represent Chaos Academy in the competition." Crassus shook his head slightly, looking at Amy in the magic room who was trying to fuse two spells, and then failed and exploded into a cloud of mist. A gratified smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, I will convey your message." Arthur nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
"These old fogies, sending their disciples and grand-disciples all this way to me, it would be a shame not to give them a good slap." Crassus muttered to himself, turning and entering the magic room.
…
"Principal, what do you think of this challenge? Should we accept it or not?" In the principal's office, the slightly plump Dean of Students asked softly, looking at Norvan sitting behind his desk, flipping through a parchment magic book.
"Why not accept it?" Norvan asked back without even looking up.
"Principal, the year before last, the Mage Tower and the Imperial Advanced Academy joined forces and defeated many of our students in the competition, which greatly impacted the reputation of Chaos Academy and also put some pressure on and traumatized those students. These people from the Mage Tower are definitely well-prepared. If something like what happened two years ago happens again, it won't be good for Chaos Academy." the Dean of Students said hesitantly.
"If you refuse to fight because you're afraid of failure, you'll never grow into a powerful mage. Greenton, have you even forgotten this principle?" Norvan closed the magic book and put it down, looking at the Dean of Students calmly. "The reputation of Chaos Academy doesn't lie in being invincible. I value more how to get back up after a defeat and defeat your opponent again. As for pressure and shadows, if students are defeated by a single failure, it means our education has failed. We should be the ones reflecting on ourselves, not thinking about how to prevent students from engaging in combat."
"Yes, I was wrong about that." Greenton lowered his head in shame.
"I've accepted the challenges, whether from the Mage Tower or the Imperial Advanced Academy. I want the students to know that outside of the Chaos Academy, there are peers who are even more outstanding than them, with a higher starting point. If they want to stand at the same height as them in the future, they need to work harder, instead of being frogs in a well." Norvan said with a smile.
"Okay." Greenton nodded.
"Let's set the challenge for tomorrow. The entire school will close for a day to observe. This will give the children of Green Sprout Garden a more direct understanding of magic, and the teachers can check if there are any new research or developments at the Imperial Advanced Academy. These are all good things." Norvan continued.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Greenton nodded and turned to leave quickly.
…
"Friends who have come all the way from Luo Du, I am Greenton, the Dean of Students of Chaos Academy. Chaos Academy accepts the challenge from the Mage Tower and the Imperial Advanced Academy. The challenge will take place tomorrow, and the specific schedule will be delivered to your residence tonight. I hope this will be a challenge that benefits both sides." Greenton said to Albert and the civil official from the Los Empire at the entrance of Chaos Academy.
"Okay, I think this will be a challenge that benefits both sides." Albert nodded at Greenton.
"We've come all this way, aren't you going to invite us into Chaos Academy? Is this how you treat guests?" Hank said, looking at Greenton with some displeasure.
"Chaos Academy is a place for students to attend classes, not some restaurant or hotel. Students are in class right now, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually. Please wait until tomorrow when you receive an invitation from Chaos Academy before entering." Greenton said slowly and authoritatively, squinting at Hank.
Having been the Dean of Students at Chaos Academy for over twenty years, he'd seen all sorts of troublesome students. If this green-haired guy fell into his hands, he'd shave his head bald to avoid affecting the school's image.
Hank felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively shrank back, looking at the bald Dean of Students with a strange sense of apprehension.
"We respect the rules of Chaos Academy, but besides challenging Chaos Academy, we've come on behalf of the Mage Tower to congratulate Lord Crassus on accepting a disciple. I heard he's currently at Chaos Academy, would it be permissible for us to enter and meet Lord Crassus?" Albert asked Greenton.
"Lord Crassus said he is too busy to see you all. Both Lord Crassus and Miss Amy will be present at tomorrow's challenge, so you can offer your congratulations then." Arthur said as he walked out of the academy and looked at Albert.
"I wonder if that little one has the guts to step up and accept the challenge?" Hank asked Arthur, a hint of provocation in his voice.
"Lord said, Miss Amy will represent Chaos Academy in tomorrow's challenge." Arthur replied, glancing at Hank.
"Very well, I'm sure I'll leave her with a memorable congratulation." Hank grinned, a cold smile playing on his lips.
...
"Little Amy, some little guys will be coming to challenge Chaos Academy tomorrow morning, but they probably mainly want to challenge you and embarrass me. So I want you to represent Chaos Academy in the battle. Do you agree?" Crassus asked Amy with a smile when school was over in the afternoon.
"Fight bad guys? If anyone wants to embarrass Master Crassus, then Amy will beat them up." Amy clenched her little fist and nodded earnestly.
"Very good. Let's go back then. Yulian should have finished the final steps on the magic wand, it'll be useful tomorrow." Crassus's smile grew even brighter as he patted Amy's hair and nodded.
"Yay! A magic wand that can grow bigger and smaller, it must be amazing!" Amy's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly.
"This magic wand combines the strongest domains of three great mages. There's only one of its kind on the entire Nolan Continent, so it's naturally the strongest." Crassus nodded proudly, leading Amy out the door. He was also quite curious about what kind of magic wand it would be.
