"Congratulations, Student Auric." Mayor Petrus smiled from ear to ear. He had been receiving a lot of praise because he sponsored Auric instead of the governor.
"I'm just doing my best. There is no need for congratulations." Auric shook his head.
"Hahaha. You're too modest." Mayor Petrus chuckled. "What you have achieved is something unimaginable for all people."
"You're overpraising me. I'm afraid that it will get into my head."
Mayor Petrus laughed harder. "Well, I suppose I shouldn't take too much of your time. I'm sure that you're busy, so I'm just going to tell you why I came here. I want to increase your sponsorship."
Auric thought for a moment. He wasn't going to reject free money, but there was actually something that he wanted.
"Rather than an increase in sponsorship, can I request something instead, Mayor?"
