Back at the academy, another dispute was brewing. Now that the purser had been replaced, the new mage Novak had to find a way to keep the entire academy firmly in his hands. It was inevitable that the supporters of the former purser would be given a beating.
The first one to bear the brunt was the person closest to the apprentices, the warrior instructor John Goodman. Novak called a few family warriors to replace old John, leaving this old warrior who had worked hard and done a lot of good deeds to the side.
Novak wasn't in a hurry to get rid of this old warrior because he didn't commit any serious crimes, or because he didn't have anything to gain from him. Instead, he just wanted to find an excuse to put him aside and strip him of his power.
John Goodman didn't have much to say about this. Although that person seemed to have entrusted many things to him before he left. But with enough experience, he was also a little discouraged. Not to mention that an old and frail warrior had no right to challenge a young and strong mage. What else could he do other than accept his situation?
But the other person wasn't so easy to deal with. It was the great mage from the Leon District. But before that, Novak had to receive an important guest first. It was a person with real power outside of the Council of Fourteen. The fat and bloated old mage was followed by two beautiful maids who were tied with two iron chains tied around their necks.
The main reason why this person couldn't enter the Council of Fourteen wasn't because he wasn't strong enough or influential enough, but because of his character. The number of magic apprentices who had been "scrapped" by him was an unimaginable number. However, under the influence of the former president Orange Eaton, he had been silent for a long time.
There were many people like him. Not all mages were in the lawful and good camp, but when that person was still alive, no one dared to stand out. Now that the giant above them had fallen, everyone thought that this was an opportunity and was ready to take action.
This old mage didn't care what others wanted to do. He only appeared in the academy because he wanted the rumored child, the girl with the talent of Cyan Hole level.
The former purser was very stubborn and there was no room for negotiation. But the new one was quite tactful. At least he was willing to pay. As long as there was a price, there was room for negotiation. The two sets of personal information on the table indicated that they were a pair of sisters. Although the elder sister's magical talent wasn't very high, the feeling of playing together with the sisters was quite special.
Therefore, the old magician couldn't help but smile and said, "You're really good at doing business, kid."
"Only by increasing the value of a product can it be sold at a higher price. This is a very simple principle."
"Hehehe …"
Before the two fellows could finish their laughter, they were interrupted by someone who had barged into the office of the chief affairs officer.
The one who rushed in was Juan Javier. He completely ignored the fatty sitting at the side and rushed towards the new dean of affairs whose name he still couldn't remember. He said, "Where are the teaching materials for my classes? The relevant application should have been submitted a long time ago, and I know that your predecessor has already bought it. Then, where are the things? "
Being treated so rudely by his subordinates in front of his guests, Novak was embarrassed and angry. He yelled, "What are you talking about? Nothing!"
Although he was loudly reprimanded, Juan did not care about such a small matter. Who would be angry at a dog just because it was barking? With his sharp eyes, he saw the information on the table and the person beside it who didn't look like a decent person. He looked more like a mage from the Fallen Camp. With his vast experience, how could he not know what was going on in front of him?
But he didn't care at all. The life and death of a normal apprentice was not something he should be concerned about. No matter how talented the apprentice was, as long as it wasn't his own student, he didn't care. The reason why Juan Javier appeared in the dean's office was because of a rare magic material.
As long as a small piece of it was thrown into water, it would cause quite a big explosion. This was a very eye-catching experiment for the Magic Miscellaneous Course. At the beginning of every semester, Juan would arrange this magic experiment to attract the attention of the students.
But this time, due to various reasons, it took a long time to buy this magic material. When he had the chance to repeat this experiment, the first half of the semester of 728 was almost over.
Perhaps the other classes, which were all familiar faces, had already seen this trick. But there were still new students joining, and there was still a class that had never seen such a performance, so he was looking forward to the expressions of the apprentices' exclamations.
But … everything seemed to have changed since yesterday. Juan Javier came out to make a fuss, wasn't it to test the attitude of this successor? But from Old John being left idle to this apprentice becoming a bargaining chip of the academy, it seemed to prove that there was no longer any value in staying in this place.
And for Novak, it didn't matter whether the other party had submitted any application or not. All the valuable magic materials had already been divided up yesterday. What could he come up with? Plus, the discussion with the distinguished guest was at a critical juncture. How could he allow someone to cause trouble? Seething with anger, he lowered his voice and said fiercely, "Get out of here now. This is not a place where you can behave atrociously."
"Oh ~." Juan didn't compete with others to see who could shout louder. He just said in a flat tone without mercy, "It seems that this place can't accommodate me. Then I officially resign from my position in the academy. I'm leaving. "
People who did business valued face above all. And in front of a big deal, losing his face, Novak was probably going crazy. In order to protect his dignity, he stood up and pointed at the person in front of him and said, "This is not a place where you can come and go as you wish. Without my permission, no one can leave. Not to mention that you still have a contract. "
"Oh, you mean the contract." Although the bookshelf was obviously rummaged through, the relevant documents were still placed in the same position. Juan Javier took out the contract of the instructors with familiarity, took out his own copy, put it in front of the guy whose name he couldn't remember, and said,
"The contract you're talking about is this one, right? Look at the agreed date."
The content of the contract designed by someone was quite simple. It focused on the identity of the two parties, the effective date of the contract, and the division of relevant rights and responsibilities. These were written very clearly and conspicuously, so it was easy to understand. And the key dates were clearly stated … from the first day of the year 727 to the last day of the year 727.
In order to not limit the number of instructors, Lin used the method of hiring once a year to sign a contract with everyone. And after the first year, it was supposed to be a renewal of the contract, but because of the tacit understanding between each other, everyone tacitly agreed to continue the old contract and continue to work as instructors for the new year.
Of course, for instructors who wanted to fight for other benefits, as long as there were changes in their work, the contract would have to be signed again. But for an archmage like Juan Javier, the contract wasn't important. The main purpose of his stay in the academy was to ask the person closest to him about the P language.
Now that that person was driven away, he had no reason to stay. If the successor knew how to respect and buy people's hearts, he could spend more time with people. But now, it seemed that there was no need to stay.
And throwing out this expired contract, Juan's original intention was to remind the other party that the contract clearly stated his identity as an archmage, so he should at least show some respect. But unfortunately, the man who lost his rationality didn't seem to care about this.
In order to show his control of the academy in front of the guests, he didn't allow anyone to challenge him on the first day. Novak pointed at the person in front of him and scolded: "I don't care about the content of your contract. That was an agreement between you and the previous successor. Under my command, as long as you are a member of the academy, you are under my control. The only thing you should do is to obey my instructions and do it meticulously — "
Before Novak could finish his words, he saw the person in front of him turn into a body of lightning. With a wave of his hand, the left arm that Novak stretched out was electrocuted. Novak's whole body was paralyzed and he couldn't move for a while.
But the attack didn't stop there. The second punch was aimed at his left face. Novak's body was sent flying and smashed through the window on the third floor, causing him to fall into the courtyard outside the window. Fortunately, the protective magic on his body was in effect and minimized the damage. Even so, he still fell to the ground and was confused. Then, the person of lightning jumped out of the window through the hole in the window.
Juan Javier, a Supreme Mage, also known as the "Prince of Elements." He got his name because he could transform his body into elements to fight. He could also transform into different types of elements depending on the time and situation. Once he transformed into elements, not only would his attack power increase, but his opponent wouldn't be able to hurt him as long as he didn't know how to do it.
The old and fat mage came to the broken window and looked at everything in the courtyard with interest.
Juan, who had jumped out of the window, rode on the person who was sent flying. Without saying anything, he turned his arm into a lightning sword and cut off the person's limbs.
Novak said with difficulty with blood flowing out of his throat, "How dare you attack me. The others won't let you go."
The sound of the broken window hitting the ground was so loud that the two people in the courtyard immediately attracted everyone's attention. Juan stood up elegantly and deactivated his elemental body. He said to the person on the ground: "The others? I'm looking forward to seeing who will challenge me. I haven't fought for more than a year. Has everyone forgotten what kind of person I am? "
The mage standing in front of the broken window saw that a certain Supreme Mage had deactivated his elemental body. He couldn't help but pause the staff in his hand, eager to fight. But then he gave up the idea, because the warning spell on the staff reflected a suspicious scene on the crystal ball at the top of the staff. It was the majestic appearance of an airship.
It was one thing to deal with a young Supreme Mage, but another thing to deal with a whole airship of Mages …
This fat mage, who had been hiding for a long time, admitted that he was a bad person, but he was definitely not an idiot. So, he quietly turned around and tugged at the chains of the two maids. Then, he pushed open the door of the office and left slowly and calmly. He didn't think that the arrogant young man who thought he had the upper hand would still be able to fulfill the deal after being injured like this.
