14 Ch. 14 - The Glory That No One Would See part 1
Casino Riot's mind completely blanked out in that moment. This seemed a bit…extreme, no? Eleven hours? That was a full nine hours more than what he aimed for! This was no longer as simple as just breaking the record, or obtaining a maid. Such an assessment time would surely gain the attention of the entire…the entire…suddenly Casino considered his surroundings and everything made sense. Having calmed down, he noticed that he was reflexively in the perceptive force state, yet his spirit power wasn't even engaged. What did this mean? He had reached a new threshold in his spirit power!
Merely, he didn't dare to confirm any of this at the moment, he was surrounded by hot shots and what seemed like half the entire student body. Casino's voice remained indifferent as he responded nonchalantly, bending his body like a hooligan, "Ah, I see. So that was the case. In this case, does this mean that Teacher Mercury should honor our bet, yes?"
Kenneth Royale, "{:-O"
Scarlet Mercury reacted like a cat with its tail stepped on as she hurriedly jumped forward to appease this, the merciless brat. To think he would bring up the bet in front of the Grand Magus! She no longer was able to doubt for a second that he would expose what she had done to him previously.
Before she found her actions to be no big deal, with no major consequence. At most there would be a slap on the wrist.
Now, however?
The moment that Casino surpassed the five hour mark, Scarlet Mercury knew she had kicked a rock wall. There was no turning back anymore, but she didn't intend to really honor the bet. How could she? She was already a married woman, she couldn't be this brat's maid, who knew what he would do to her.
However, now that the Grand Magus himself was involved, the Guru was surely watching this from Afar! If they knew that she had offended this genius and even tried to cripple him, she could well imagine her fate. She quickly surrendered, trying her best not to reveal her pure hatred or disgust, "Okay brat, you win! It's over. I admit my defeat."
"Excellent. This will be effective immediately," said Casino Riot before bowing deeply to the teachers and then straightening his back again. He now resembled a refined scholar. He nonchalantly grabbed Maggie's hand and swiftly whisked her off the platform, landing next to Magus Clear Sky. Maggie, who was at his side, stepped forward and bowed to the Magus Fair-weather, the woman next to Magus Clear Sky.
"Student greets Professor!" said Margot Frenzy obediently, catching Casino off guard, although he didn't react.
However, this drew shock and awe from the crowd once more.
"Margot's a dean's direct student!"
"She's going to soar from now on!"
"She's truly one of the angelic triad."
...
Magus Clear Sky rested her hand on his shoulder, "Good child, you've done better than I could have ever imagined. Well done. Would you like to become my direct student?"
"Wah!"
More shock!
Another uproar!
"Clear Sky, this a bit inappropriate, no? He should definitely become my direct student instead. He must clearly review his options," responded Magus Fair-weather sweetly. Her voice made it hard for people to dislike her, but Magus Clear Sky gave a sharp look that proved she disliked her anyway.
"A man should learn from man!" boomed Magus Fierce Storm. The surrounding students were speechless.
Kenneth Royale, "{:-O"
Kenneth Royale in particular stood with his jaw hanging since long ago. It was a wonder no flies had laid roost. Kenneth simply couldn't believe his shitty luck. Were the dean level magi were all fighting over Casino? What kind of joke was this?! Where was the wastrel of yesteryear now? Stealing the spotlight that was born to be his! His grandfather had given him a special device that would allow him to survive for longer than normal in the original pressure chamber. These original pressure chambers were designed by his own family, after all.
"Wow, Casino's going to be the direct student of a magus…"
"That's so cool! Being the direct student of a magus will guarantee him the best learning materials, and his own courtyard in the AP Dorms."
"I wish I could be under the tutelage of one of the Deans!"
"Right, if your a student of one the deans that like a guarantee that you'll make it to university!"
"Wow, university! I heard the competition in the big universities was fiercer than what we could imagine."
"Come on, how could it be that bad? Their only human, right?"
"Magic can be terrifying, you know! I once saw my uncle performing…."
...…
"Enough." Grand Magus Caesar Calm's light and airy voice somehow reverberated throughout the grounds, and all the chatter instantly ceased. He continued to speak wisely, "It is only right that this boy receive the training of all the deans present here today. The Guru will hear of this, and once he does will any decision we have made preliminarily even matter?"
The deans all nodded in approval at his words. This was true. There was no need argue over the student with the number one potential in the history of the academy outside the presence of the Guru.
"No, it's fine, I prefer Magus Clear Sky," said Casino as he released Maggie's hand and quickly bowed deeply before Magus Clear Sky while muttering an obscure incantation. A purple rune diagram flew out of the center of his forehead and into the heart of Magus Fair Sky. This was a voluntary teacher-student contract seal! This seal indentured the student to the teacher until the student has reached the teacher's cultivation realm. This was the most standard procedure when selecting a professor.
In the world of warriors selecting a professor was a sacred tradition. One could have many teachers, but some people would only have one professor throughout their lives. Is this aspect, they were similar to servants and their masters. A professor was a truly honorable title, akin to adopting another parent.
"Student Casino Riot greets Professor!"
Everyone present was shocked! Did Casino just disregard the words of the Vice-Principal?
Ballsy!
However, in the eyes of everyone else, it was stupid. Contrary to what they expected to happen, Grand Magus Caesar Calm released a sigh of relief, and then spoke candidly, "This is also fine, young man. However, what I commanded previously still stands. All of these deans will have to teach you seriously in the future."
"Okay, teachers! Time to take your students away!" boomed Magus Fierce Storm. As his voice fell everyone had already begin moving. In ten minutes, the classroom and hallways were almost totally clear of students and staff, it was now like a ghost town.
"Casino, Margot, come with us two old ladies," said Magus Fair-weather gently, "We'll take you to your new dorms."
"Yes!" said Casino and Margot in unison, looking at each other unable to hide the glee in their eyes.
Advanced students!
Magi Apprentice!
Their felt as if their lives were bound to take a new direction now.
Of course, they had no idea just how right they were.
Meanwhile, as everyone was departing there was a desperate voice that finally woke up from his daze to shout out, "WAIT~~~!!!"
Kenneth Royale ran up the platform and bellowed at the few people remaining, his listless aunt included, "I have yet to take my assessment! Teacher, please bear witness to my glory! I will use the same chamber as Casino to show him who is the truly talented top student."
Scarlet Mercury's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right! Her nephew had still yet to test! If this boy could somehow manage to place him self at least half way up to Casino's standard the wait will have been worth it! "Okay, good, quickly climb in. I'll need to trouble Grand Magus to power to array once more."
"Certainly," said Grand Magus Caesar Calm, as the original essence chamber on the left lit up once more. Kenneth Royale wore a dignified expression as he stepped in and sat down, as if he was facing his life's greatest challenge.
Some time later, Kenneth Royale exited the original pressure chamber drenched in sweat. He had used his grandfather's device to survive in the chamber a little longer. The pressure inside was torturous, and he felt like he had spent years inside. Surely a inconceivably long time must have passed, he thought.
Looking around at the full classroom, he was incomparably excited. 'I've done it,' he thought to himself, 'I've truly succeeded! How else would such a crowd be drawn? See the truth clown, I am the true top warrior this year!'
"Oh, Kenneth Royale, 2 hours and 45 minutes. Thats pretty good. You started sweating so hard around the 1 hour mark, no one thought you would make it so far. You're aunt left some time ago. Something about reporting to duty? Anyway. You class 457 youths are truly not bad." Said a bald headed teacher in a white robe. "Well, that makes you an advanced student now, Magi class. Run along now, we're in the middle of earth science class, you with your new status can no longer stay here."
Kenneth Royale, "{:-O"
Kenneth Royale left the classroom feeling miserable. There was no one left…no one stayed to watch him. They even let the night classes begin, in spite of him still undergoing an assessment. His homeroom teacher who was also his married aunt even left him to go serve Casino! Humiliation! Naked Humiliation! He hated!
How could he make Margot pay attention to him now?
