“Yes! It’s due to my negligence. Please don’t be angry. I’ll think of a way to fix it…”
Back in the Director of Education’s office, Charles, who had received the results of the match, was still thinking about how to explain the situation to Old Man White.
Who knew that the old man would choose to contact him now of all times!
‘Curses!’
“Fix it? How do you plan to fix it? Do you want me to break your legs as well? I’m warning you! Find out who this Locke is right now! What family is he from? I’ve already sent someone to pick up Adrian! Three days! I want to get your correct answer within three days… . .”
Old Man White’s voice was like thunder, causing Charles’ eardrums to hurt!
After hanging up, Charles said with a enraged expression, “B*stard! How did he find out so quickly? It must be that c*nt Ollie who tipped him off and shirked his responsibility…”
Charles covered his head and was trying to think of a solution when he heard a commotion outside the window.
He walked to the window and looked. It was the Diamond Class!
Trista, Jacques, and Diana were also there!
Looking at the direction they were heading, they should be heading towards the principal’s office.
Ding!
The System’s notification sounded again.
[ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received 100 function points. ]
Naturally, Locke was very happy to receive the reward, but he had no way to check the Beast System…
After all, he was “surrounded” by a group of people!
“There’s no need for this, really…” Locke was like a hero at this moment, and he was being escorted to the principal’s office.
He had been a lone wolf since he was young. He was not used to such things!
The three instructors walked at the front, and they were still discussing about the exciting battle just now.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at an old lighthouse.
“Principal! The winner of the match has been decided!” Tristan shouted at a window.
Ten seconds later, there was still no reaction.
Thinking the old principal had hearing problems, Jacque gathered his mana and shouted at the top of his voice, “Give out the prizes!!”
Bang!
Before he could finish shouting, a book accurately hit his head!
“Jacques! Can’t you keep your voice down? I’m not dead yet! I can’t even go to the toilet without being disturbed!” Finally, a reply came from the window.
Although the voice was old, it was very powerful!
Jacques rubbed his head. “Damn… This old man is getting more and more accurate…”
Everyone was laughing.
Only Locke did not laugh. Instead, he looked surprised!
He realized that the book that was thrown at Jacques was the one that the old man had read yesterday!
He remembered the tattered cover!
Could it be?!
At this moment, the door to the first floor of the lighthouse opened.
A thin old man dressed in a shabby outfit walked out.
He smiled kindly and said, “Hello, instructors and students…”
“Hello, principal!” Everyone said in unison.
“Hello, kid. Thank you for the food yesterday…” The old man looked at Locke with a smile.
“It really is you!” Locke shouted subconsciously.
His words also indirectly told everyone that he had met the principal.
Locke could not understand why all the masters in the world seemed to be dressed in rags!
Moreover, they either liked to feed the pigeons or sweep the floor!
“Come, come, come! Come in with me!” The old man waved at Locke.
Tristan whispered, “Go, I’ll organize the students to go back first. I know you’re not used to being around so many people…”
Locke nodded and followed him in.
“Alright! Everyone, let’s go for lunch. Instructor Jacques is treating!” Tristan said to everyone.
“That’s great! Let’s Go!” The students immediately surrounded Jacques.
Jacques’ cigarette fell to the ground in surprise!
He thought to himself, ‘Why me of all people, Tristan?’
The lighthouse’s decorations were very old.
If this was an office, it would look very very messy. It was more like a chaotic library.
This was due to the books everywhere, including the stairs and across the floor!
Up until the second floor, the two of them did not speak.
It was not until the principal sat down that he opened his mouth and said, “Sit down, Locke. I know you. You are very talented, hehehe…”
The seat the principal was referring to was actually a few books stacked together.
Locke did not mind and sat down on it.
“Come, come! This is your prize, I think you need it…”t The kind-looking old man handed over a thin book.
The font on the cover was askew, but the words of “Incantation” were very clear.
It was probably a handwritten copy.
“It’s good to have mana that recovers quickly, but raising your upper limit is even more important… After all, with a higher mana capacity, you can use your skills without any worries…”
Locke nodded as he looked at the sign on the table.
On it was written: Principal Hobrick.
Then, he opened the book in his hand, but after reading a few pages, he revealed an expression as if he had eaten a fly!
The old man’s handwriting was too ugly!
‘Wasn’t this supposed to be a godly book?’
He could imagine himself going crazy over the books’ handwriting!
“Hahahaha! I’m sorry, my handwriting hasn’t been good since I was young. Please make do with it…” The old man was quite proud of the fact.
Locke could only nod with a wry smile.
“Oh right, the White kid didn’t hurt you, right?” Headmaster Hobrick asked again as he raised his pen.
“He doesn’t have the ability to!” Locke was confident in his answer.
“Yes! Good, good! God has blessed us by sending such a talent to our institution!” Hobrick tidied his pale hair and smiled happily.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with Locke’s answer.
“Go, child! I believe that you can’t wait to learn the content! And I, also have to go to class…”
“Huh? You’re already the principal, do you still want to teach in person?” Locke stood up and asked curiously.
Hobrick tidied up the materials on his desk as he said, “Yes! Our academy doesn’t only have bronze, silver, gold, and diamond classes… there are even higher levels like the ‘Divine Class’, and I am their teacher…”
“Divine Class?” Upon hearing this word, Locke immediately recalled the class that Tristan and Jacques had omitted previously.
‘It must be the Divine Class!’
“Can… Can I join the class?” Locke asked carefully.
Hobrick was looking for a book on the bookshelf. Without turning his head, he answered, “Not yet, kid. I think you still need to train for a bit longer. But… I believe that one day you will, but there’s no point rushing…”
“Alright…” Locke looked a little disappointed. After shrugging his shoulders, he bowed to hobrick and prepared to leave.
“Ring… Ring, Ring, Ring!”
At this moment, the phone in the “principal’s office” rang.
They could only hear the sound, but they could not find the phone!
Due to the books littered everywhere, nobody knew where the phone was buried!
With Locke’s help, they pushed aside several stacks of books that were as tall as an adult before they found the phone.
“Thank you… kid.” Hobrick nodded in gratitude and answered the phone.
The next scene, however, had given Locke a fright!
