Yousef followed the direction of Dalton''s pointing and saw that it was indeed the vice-principal who had just joked with him. His face changed, and he pretended to be indifferent as he said,


    "Why are you taking Little Lis''s information card? Give it to me now."


    "Why should I give it back to you?"


    Audis''s expression remained calm as a pristine white card slowly floated out from his hand and hovered in mid-air.


    "That''s my disciple''s information card."


    "Okay, okay, you old man, I was going to leave you some dignity. So you''re snatching my disciple, huh."


    Yousef could no longer contain his anger and reached out to grab the information card in front of Audis.


    "What''s the rush!"


    With a wave of his hand, Audis summoned a Wind Element that created a breeze, pushing Yousef to the other side of the room. As the vicemander of the Feis Royal Mage Corps, Audis''s strength indeed surpassed Yousef by a notch.


    "I am quite curious, Yousef, why did you take Lis as your disciple? As far as I know, his performance at the academy was quite ordinary."


    Audis held Lis''s identity information card in his hand, asking curiously.


    On the surface, the two were fighting over Lis''s information card, but the focal point was not about who got Lis''s card in their hands, but to make the other give up on the idea of taking Lis as a disciple. Otherwise, if it was just about an identity card, the academy could simply issue another one.


    Obviously, both believed that with their status and strength, Lis would not refuse to be their disciple.


    "His talent in Magic Rune is outstanding, is that not enough?"


    Yousef said irritably, after all, although Audis was an Arcanist, he was not particrly skilled in medium Magic Runes.


    "And you, why are youpeting with me?"


    Audis let out augh but did not respond directly.


    Ever since hest saw Lis, Audis had been preupied with this matter. After returning to the academy and dealing with rted affairs, he came here for Lis''s information card.


    After all, based on what he learnedter, Lis had always kept a low profile at the academy. His ssmates thought hecked talent and he was just an ordinary Bronze Mage.


    But in the eyes of Audis, that was not the case!


    Lis had lingered at the Bronze Rank for so long, was it not to umte knowledge and foundations to be an Arcanist?


    Audis, being an Arcanist himself, how could he not know the high difficulty of bing one?


    To be honest, before meeting Lis, if someone had told Audis that one could be an Arcanist at the Bronze Rank, Audis would haveughed at their ignorance.


    But when Lis appeared in front of Audis, he had to admit that there might really be such monstrous talents!


    So after returning to the academy and confirming that Lis had not be the formal disciple of any high-level Mage, Audis had already contemted taking him as a disciple.


    As for his previous disciples? Ha, just a bunch of unsatisfactory ones, with slim hopes of breaking through to the Gold Level.


    The fact that Lis had be an Arcanist could not be disclosed carelessly. Otherwise, anyone who heard of a Bronze Level Arcanist would know about Lis''s terrifying talent.


    Bing a Golden Mage was just his lower limit; the Legendary Domain was within reach to try and touch.


    Naturally, Audis would not casually tell others, but the current situation was quite troublesome.


    Seeing the way Yousef was, it was clear he was not willing to give up easily.


    What a hassle!


    Audis sighed. What should one do when the disciple one wants to take has too much talent?


    "You, you rascal!"


    Yousef was getting a bit angry now. I''ve already told you the reason, and you''re still beating around the bush. What are you doing?


    "You really think I''m afraid of you?"


    With a wave of Yousef''s hand, a jet-ck Magic Wand studded with dazzling gemstones appeared in his grip. If Lis had been there, he would have been shocked at the number of Magic Gems densely embedded on the wand.


    Goodness, with five or six Advanced Magic Gemsparable in value to Jade Gemstones, and all of the same Fire Element type, not to mention the various Low-level Magic Gems and the Mithril used for Engraving Magic Patterns, just this Magic Wand alone must be worth a hundred thousand Gold Coins.


    That wasn''t all; a silver Magic Robe materialized on Yousef in an instant.


    This was no ordinary garment. The magic fluctuations and Spirit Light it emitted were proof that it was an exceptionally valuable piece of Magic Equipment.


    Above all, various glimmers of magical light were shing across Yousef''s body — his rings, nes, earrings, and brooches were all High-level Magic Equipment without exception.


    If there was one thing you could say about Yousef, it''s that he was loaded. As a Magic Rune Master, he had naturally equipped himself to the teeth.


    Dalton stood by, almost blinded by the dazzling light shining off Yousef''s treasures.


    "That Yousef, so wealthy and yeting to me every day to cry poor. I''m a dog if I agree to his additional funding requests again!"


    Audis felt a headacheing on, but still took his Magic Wand into his hand.


    This definitely wasn''t going to end amicably!


    Although he didn''t want to sh with Yousef, that hard-shelled turtle, giving up on taking Lis as an apprentice?


    "You really think I''m a pushover?"


    "Today I''ll show you that I didn''t be the Deputy Headmaster for nothing!"


    As the tension between Audis and Yousef thickened, Dalton quickly stepped in and shouted:


    "Don''t fight here, go to the Fran Magic Arena!"


    Damn it, if you two start fighting here, what will be of my office? All repaired with my dear little Gold Coins!


    Yousef snorted coldly and flew out of the window.


    Audis couldn''t show weakness, naturally, and followed Yousef to the Fran Magic Arena.


    The Fran Magic Arena was also a venue for inner academy personnel to spar, but it was different from thebat field where Lis was ambushed yesterday. The Fran Magic Arena was intended for the use of Gold-level Mages to practice andpete.


    It was named after the academy headmaster because "Judgement me" Fran Stephens had personally set up a highly Advanced Defensive Magic Array here. Attacks below the Legendary tier had almost no chance of breaking through the Defensive Magic Array.


    Yousef and Audis stood in the center of the Fran Magic Arena, waiting for the academy staff to activate the Defensive Magic Array.


    "You already have such an excellent apprentice as Bernie, just let me have Lis!"


    Audis tried to persuade him, making onest effort.


    "Oh, shut up, Audis! I have only Bernie as my apprentice, and don''t think I''m not aware that you''ve got enough apprentices to assemble a kingdom''s squad."


    Yousef didn''t give Audis any face at all.


    "Can they even bepared? They are all talentless folks."


    Audis said realistically, as innate Talent was far more important than hard work in the Profession of a Mage.


    Just then, many of the academy''s students noticed the Magic Light illuminating the Fran Magic Arena.


    "What''s this... The Magic Arena''s Magic Array is active, are Gold-level Mages going to have a match?"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Hurry, hurry, you don''te across this kind of event even once a year!"


    ...


    Before long, the students still at the Magic Academy were all rushing towards the Fran Magic Arena.
