Chapter 116
When Bryce saw that Mallory finally finished his words, he took a deep breath and couldn’t help but sigh, “Mr. Francis is so eloquent.”
As he spoke, he craned his neck and looked around. He asked in confusion, “Isn’t our boss going there, too? The mobilization meeting is about to end. Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
“He is coming!” Cindy clapped on Bryce’s lap and said excitedly.
Hiss~
“Can’t you pat yourself on the lap?”
Bryce covered his lap painfully, but still following the direction Cindy pointed, he saw a figure lazily walking from a distance.
“Boss!”
Bryce waved his hand and shouted. It seemed that no one else knew Locke was here.
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes were focused on Locke.
“Is this Locke Capet? So handsome!”
“I heard that he is a powerful level-3 mage.”
“Humph! So what if he is a level-3 mage? Look at him. He didn’t seem to be leading a team. In the past, the person who led the team was at least a level-4 mage.”
The students began to whisper. Hatred, admiration and disdain were all fixed on Locke.
In the front of Class 1, Joanna also looked up at Locke, with an indescribable light flashing in her eyes.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Locke walked slowly towards the stage.
Seeing Locke’s lazy look, Mrs. Beulah was speechless. She walked half a step closer to Mallory and asked in a low voice, “Will it be a little hasty to choose Locke as the leader of this training? Do you need to consider changing a powerful level-4 mage?”
Although Locke was very talented and was now a level-3 mage, he had no experience in leading the team. Recently, the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts was a little restless. It was a guarantee for the whole team to exchange for a stronger mage to be the leader.
Looking at Locke, Mallory shook his head slightly and said firmly, “Don’t worry. There is no more suitable person than him.”
The old clerk Fermont had said that Locke’s combat effectiveness was only stronger than level-4 practitioner. In the whole academy, who was more suitable than Locke?
After saying that, he smiled and looked at the three people standing next to him. “Judith, Lloyd and Jerry, I’ll leave the safety of the students to you.”
Judith was a level-4 mage of wind and fire, Lloyd was a level-3 mage of fire and Jerry was a level-4 mage of fire. With Locke’s help, the training could be guaranteed.
As he spoke, he looked at the tutor among the three, Judith Mapel, the tutor of fire magic, Grade 1, who was famous for her beauty, arrogance and majesty. “Judith, as the leader of the tutors, I hope you can bring all the students back safely.”
Judith nodded slightly and agreed.
At this time, Locke had already stepped on the last step. Then he looked at Mallory and said, “Since you have finished, let’s go.”
Recently, Athena was obsessed with planting flowers and plants, so she didn’t intend to go to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts with Locke. As for Sleipnir, he lay in the yard every day to bask in the sun, and he didn’t want to go with Locke.
Seeing Locke so casual, Mallory’s mouth twitched. He said helplessly, “I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Among the three tutors, the bearded man spoke first, smiling, “Lloyd Leopold, the tutor of Class 3.”
“Hello, Lloyd.” Locke nodded and smiled, “Locke Capet.”
Compared with Lloyd, the other male tutor was much colder. He said indifferently, “Jerry Garner.”
He was still very dissatisfied with the fact that Locke had become one of the team leaders.
Being stared at coldly, Locke didn’t want to make a fool of himself. He glanced at Jerry and then looked at Judith.
After looking at Locke for a few seconds, Judith said lightly, “Judith Mapel.”
Locke nodded slightly with a calm face.
Sensing the embarrassment in the atmosphere, Lloyd gave a wry smile and broke the ice first. “Locke, do you have anything to add to this training?”
Hearing Lloyd’s question, Locke thought for a while and shook his head helplessly. “I’m sorry. I don’t have any experience in leading the team, so these things may need you to do.”
Lloyd didn’t expect that Locke wasn’t prepared at all. Mallory looked at Judith helplessly and said, “Judith, tell me what’s your plan.”
Judith nodded his head and said slowly, “We need to pass through the four cities, namely County City, the Ram City, the Hill City and the Vasi City. When we arrive at Vasi City, we will rent a carriage and go to the Dikas City next to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. We will have a rest in the Dikas City for one night and enter the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.”
The two nodded in agreement.
As for Locke, after hearing Judith’s arrangement, Locke nodded at first, and then seemed to think of something all of a sudden. Seeing Locke’s hesitant look, Lloyd couldn’t help asking, “Locke, do you want to add anything else?”
With a serious look on his face, Locke nodded and said, “I have another most important question.”
Seeing that Locke suddenly became so serious, Judith and Jerry also looked at Locke, wondering if there was anything missing.
Under the gaze of the three people, Locke asked seriously, “Can the academy reimburse us for using the money of teleportation site?”
The three were stunned.
Seeing the serious look on Locke’s face, they thought he had some unusual ideas. But it turned out that it was just about the teleportation site expense!
Looking at Locke’s serious look, the three were speechless to the extreme.
Judith ignored Locke and said to the other two teachers, “Let’s go.”
Under the guidance of the other three teachers, they walked towards the teleportation site in the distance. Then Locke was following them slowly.
“Is there really no problem?” Seeing the casual look on Locke’s face, Mrs. Beulah asked doubtfully.
Mallory was also a little stunned, and then said with uncertainty, “It should be… No problem.”
Everything went smoothly. In the afternoon, they walked out of the city where the last teleportation site was located and headed for the Dikas City. Seeing the logo of the Scilar Magic Academy, no one dared to come up to make trouble. Even the jungle valley where thieves usually roamed was extremely quiet, and no one could be seen, so it was smooth.
In the evening, under the setting sun, everyone could see a blurry outline of the city.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Looking at the magnificent clouds in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, a girl stopped and was immediately attracted by the illusory scene in front of her.
Although they had gone through a long day’s journey, the students were not tired at all. On the contrary, everyone was itching to have a try, with excitement on their faces.
“Here we are, Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts!”
The boys shouted in high spirits as they looked at the jungles at the far horizon.
Locke shook his head helplessly and sighed at the innocence of the students. Except for a small number of students who broke through to level-2 mages, most of them were level-1 mages. It was difficult for them to deal with a level-1 beast from the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.
Besides, he could clearly feel that the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts seemed to be more mysterious than last time.
