The Geared Immortal

Chapter 950 - The Inner Kingdom: The Alto Magus Academy (2)

Chapter 950

(Unedited)

…

There are two reasons why Shin Jiao wanted to try and enter the Alto Magus Academy. One is the result of their meeting last time and the lack of talent and manpower in Mystique shop. Though the mages in the shop are outstanding, their progression is only in the realm of magic power. Most of them are battlemages, and only a few of them could do alchemy or research in arrays and crafting.

He needed more talent, so the academy is a good place to find one.

He did not know what the future holds, but his only concern is the now. He wanted to just live according to how he feels and wanted to learn more about this world.

Ever since learning about Soul Trapping Dimension, his desire to understand more about the lives of the people in this world deepens.

After registering, the three girls left and Shin Jiao was immediately blocked by a young man who has been following him for a while now.

"You are the 5th prince… How may I help you, your highness…" Shin Jiao politely greeted with a bow.

The dissatisfied, Lily Kunglao immediately frowns and then scoffs at Shin Jiao while folding her arms.

"We have been following behind you for a while now and you just noticed us. This disrespectful man knows no bounds…" she suddenly said.

When the 5th prince heard her words, his expression changed. He is not like his brothers who would throw their weight around and demands respect. He is a scholar, a researcher, and he does not consider himself higher than other people though he is a prince.

So hearing the words Lily was a bit annoying for him.

"I have decided to follow, and I decided not to inconvenience Mister Si Ji… Why are you saying such words? If you are bored, you can go back to your manor…" with an annoyed expression on his handsome face, Ginlong Grav scolded his fiancée.

With an aggrieved expression, Lily Kunglao's eyes turned misty as she bits her lower lip acting a little hurt and wronged.

"You… you would rather side with… with this poor peasant commoner than me? I... I am your… your fiancée?"

Hearing her words, the expression of the 5th prince turned serious. In fact, he never really wanted this marriage in the first place. But due to political reasons, and his need to support the king, his father's will, he has no choice but to agree.

And so he turns around and looks at the woman who acted like a pitiful girl and heaves a deep sigh.

"Let's go…" he said with a reluctant gaze as he swept his eyes on Shin Jiao.

"Mister Si Ji, I know that you are an array master. I hope that I can be an acquaintance of yours and we could exchange some pointers someday."

Hearing this, Shin Jiao nodded his head in agreement.

He has two weeks to stay in this academy before his companions would arrive anyway, so why not do something worthwhile.

…

And so after the people around him left, Shin Jiao decided to go out of the academy and see Central City by himself.

And so he began walking in the dark streets of the city and noticed the disparity between the citizens. It was too evident that it felt disgusting for Shin Jiao who lived in a modern world where people's hierarchy is almost not evident. Well, except for those places that still have disparity and racial discrimination.

As he walks, Shin Jiao soon reaches the place where there are many stalls on the side of the street and sidewalk vendors all over the place.

Upon seeing the people on the street, he decided to but something. And while leisurely walking, began chewing on something.

Suddenly a group of people causing some trouble gained his attention.

This is because those people are blocking the way of a woman wearing coarse commoner clothes. But even though her dress looks normal and poor, one could tell that she is very beautiful. In fact, her beauty exceeds those women that he had seen before. Well, that is on Shin Jiao's standard as someone who has three gorgeous women as his lovers before.

"Hehe… Miss… Why don't you entertain us before you leave? We can make sure that you are truly satisfied… Hehe…"

"Yeah, I'm sure we can fully turn you into a real woman…"

The degenerate look on their faces made the woman quiver in fear while looking at the group. She did not know what to say as she was just asked by his sick mother to buy some medicine. However, since she did not go out more often and has stayed at home, she is unaware of the dangers outside.

The men are wearing expensive robes which show their status. However, it seems that they are a bit drunk this early in the evening and is already causing some trouble. The people in the street, on the other hand, did not want to be involved in this troublesome matter, so they all dare not walk close or even look at this scene.

Shin Jiao looks at this scene and watches as he noticed a familiar figure, it is Cao Binyu.

She is already showing that familiar glare on her face as she approaches the group of men. Suddenly when she is close to the group, a figure flashes and stops her from moving forward.

"I suggest that you look back and do not involve yourself in this… Miss Cao. Although you are a student of Alto Magus Academy, you will not have a good ending if you offend these nobles…" a man in black said in a deep and low voice.

Cao Binyu froze as she did not know what to do next. From the body of the man, she knew that this guy is a powerful knight. It seems that this person is protecting one of these young masters who is going to molest and humiliate a woman on the street.

Sometimes she wonders if the rule still exists in this Capital city. Whether it be the followers of the light god Agus or the dark god Ruel, the overbearing attitude of these noble families are sickening.

It was as if, these families have a firm grip on the capital city and that they are the ones running it instead of the king.

While her expression is conflicted, she suddenly heard the tearing sound of clothes. She could see that those bastards have already made their move.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, is being blocked by a young man wearing a mage robe.

"I suggest you do not block me… You would not want to waste your life in this…" Shin Jiao said in a low voice while looking at the situation.

The young mage smirked at Shin Jiao and did not say anything as he suddenly activated his mage shield. But then before the young mage's very eyes, he saw the young man in front of him punch towards his shield.

Bang!

A loud explosion immediately caught the attention of everyone in the area as the young mage was sent flying towards the crowd of young debauched nobles.

The young mage has already lost consciousness as he landed and hit the people surrounding the woman and tearing her clothes apart.

This move resulted in the hidden guards of these young nobles appearing and block the path of Shin Jiao.

"Kill him!" shouted one of the guards.

But before anyone could move, the young men are already shouting curses as they got up on their feet.

At this time, the drunken young nobles stopped what they are doing and look at the young man trying to fight against their hidden guards.

At this time, Cao Binyu is already looking at Shin Jiao with amazement in her eyes. She did not expect that the person to make a move is the handsome young man who was with her best friends.

"I knew that he is not that simple…" she muttered as she watches with interest.

Suddenly, she noticed the young woman on the ground grabbing what's left of her clothes as she tries to cover her body with them. She gritted her teeth in anger while glaring at this scene.

She did not wait and quickly rushes towards the young woman. She took off her outer robe. The uniform of mages in the academy is an article of double-layered clothing, the outer robe which is like a cloak, and the inner clothing which is any regular clothes worn by the students.

She covers the woman with her robe and could feel her shivering in fear.

"It's okay… I'm here to help you…" Cao Binyu said as she carefully drags the woman to the side while carefully watching the young men who already have their attention at Shin Jiao.

"I want this one dead… He dare spoil my fun!" shouted one of the young men.

"Yeah, I want his head… Get him now!"

With the shout from their masters, the secret guards suddenly prepare to fight.
