The teacher was standing in front of the vice principal of the school while sweating. For some reason, the vice principal had been staring at a single paper for the last twenty minutes.
She was so absorbed that he felt something crazy would happen if he distracted her. After another ten minutes, she raised her head, asking, "Varyn. Who is this kid?" "May I know who you're speaking of, vice principal?" "This student called Rhys." The teacher raised his eyebrows in surprise. "He is a Commoner from the countryside. His body has a trace of Mana, so the one who spots him brings him to the capital city to take the test in the academy." "A commoner? You seem to know him. I don't see you looking at the student's details." The way Johan spoke piqued her interest. "He made a quite big impact after all… not in a good way though." "Hoh? What did he do?" "He summoned an animal." The teacher looked away. Even he didn't know how to react when he saw an animal coming out. "An animal? As in an original summon?" "No. A pure animal." The vice principal became even more curious. "Bring him to see me." The teacher looked shocked. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of trick that student used to pique the vice principal's curiosity. At the same time, he had to ask about the fate of the other students. "How about the other students? This year, we have a few interesting students this time. From the most renowned family in vampire creatures, the princess of Duke Talen, Maeve Talen. "The successor of the Ironhand Guild, Cade Valentin. The Second Prince of the Thalverian Kingdom, known for his high Mana, Thalveris Thalverian." The vice principal snapped her fingers. All of a sudden, an elf appeared next to her. She had long silver hair and a similar outfit as the vice principal as though she had gotten used to living in this world. "Riva." "Give me a second." She smiled. She scanned the papers of all students and started giving points to each of them. It didn't take more than five minutes to grade all the students. "I'm done." "Thank you." "No worries. Call me anytime." She winked before disappearing into thin air. "Here you go." The vice principal handed the paper to Varyn. "This is the grade. However, wait until I meet this kid." "Is there something wrong with this kid?" "Mhmm. I will have a talk with him first before deciding whether to let him remain as a normal farmer or not." The decision baffled him, but he had no choice but to agree. "I understand. I'll bring him to you." *** Meanwhile, Rhys was sitting on a bench, away from other students. Gaelion was sitting next to him. "So, do you think you can get enrolled here?" Gaelion asked. "I don't know. I've done my best, but I don't know if it will work or not." Rhys shrugged. "I wonder what kind of work we can do outside. Does this world have an adventurer guild? That's the starting pack of an isekai." "Ise—what? Your words confused me." "Well, just think of it being summoned to another world by a god or goddesses." "I wonder how strong they are. Can I fight them?" "Now that I think about it, I can't help but wonder what kind of knowledge you have in your head. For example, do you know that you are only one legend among many others?" "Do you mean there are other divine beasts and gods and goddesses?" Gaelion's eyes brightened. "Why do you look like you want to fight them?" Rhys's eyebrows twitched. "Besides, I want to summon another one. Preferably a woman!" "What if you end up summoning another divine bea—Mmff!" Gaelion widened his eyes as his mouth was shut by two fingers. "Shut up! Don't you jinx it, stupid dog!" Rhys glared at him. Gaelion slipped away from him and bit his hand. "How dare you stop me from speaking, you horny brat! Besides, I'm a celestial wolf!" "Aaaaaggghhh! It's human abuse!" Rhys was struggling to break free. Despite his anger, the bite wasn't that powerful. It seemed that Gaelion controlled his strength well. That was why he was also acting casually toward him. While they were arguing, Rhys couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the female student seated next to him earlier. "Mhmm?" "What?" Gaelion stopped for a second before getting annoyed again. "I thought, what could catch your attention? It turned out to be a woman. Are you going to confess to her right away?" "Flat rejection is what I'll get. Besides, look at her." "What? I can't see anything different between her and other females." "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just look at her cold and aloof atmosphere, her beautiful appearance, and her indifference toward others, this girl has a heroine quality." "You always talk as if we are inside a book. Have you ever imagined yourself getting injured or getting one of your limbs chopped off? This is your reality right now. Staying in this academy means that you will experience a lot of hardships." "I know that." Rhys's expression turned solemn. "I can't even hold the pain of getting hit in the shin or having your pinky toe bump against a bed's front leg, so I can't imagine what it feels like to get cut or shot. That's why I want to stay in this academy, learning more about it step by step so that I can survive in this world." "Hmph. You are pretty reasonable if we get rid of that annoying side of yours. Just get stronger. If you are strong enough, you can get any woman you want." Gaelion harrumphed. "Right? Isn't that the main driving factor? It's said that if you have a driving factor, you can improve much faster." Looking at Rhys's smug face made Gaelion want to bite him again. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance as the teacher actually came to him. "Student Rhys. Please follow me to talk about your admission." Rhys and Gaelion couldn't help but smile inwardly. They knew that the fish had taken the bait.Latest Chapter
Chapter 683
“If you do a good job…” Rhys looked around at the children gathered inside the hut. “Not only will you keep that pouch…” He pointed at the injured girl kneeling on the floor. “I’ll heal her too.” The room fell silent. “…Huh?” The fear on the children’s faces slowly gave way to confusion. Even the girl everyone called Big Sister looked stunned. For a few seconds, none of them spoke. It sounded too good to be true. No noble. No wealthy merchant. No powerful Beast Tamer. No one would ever make an offer like that to a group of slum children. One of the twins suddenly gasped. He hurried forward before dropping to both knees. “Please…” His voice trembled. “If you can really heal my sister…” “I’ll do anything.” “Anything you ask.” “Please save her.” The other children quickly followed him. One after another, they knelt beside him without hesitation. Rhys quietly watched the scene. He hadn’t expected this. He could tell the injured girl was important to them, but he

After finishing their meal, Rhys and Grace left the inn and made their way toward the mayor’s residence.Neither of them was in a hurry.Their pace was relaxed, but both knew the walk itself was part of the plan.Someone had been keeping an eye on them from the moment they stepped out of the inn. Syrax had already confirmed that.Now all they had to do was wait.It didn’t take long.Less than five minutes later, a small figure darted out from a nearby alley.Bang.“Ouch!”The boy stumbled into Rhys before falling hard onto the street.Rhys immediately turned toward him and raised his hand.The boy’s face turned pale.Almost on instinct, he threw both arms over his head and curled up, expecting a beating.Instead…Nothing happened.A calm voice reached his ears.“Are you alright?”The boy slowly lowered his arms.Rhys was standing in front of him with one hand extended, offering to help him up.Beside him, Grace looked genuinely worried.The boy froze.His eyes widened in disbelief.“I

“So…”Rhys stood up from his chair.“Let’s put politics aside and get back to the reason we’re here.”Grace blinked.“Have you heard everything you wanted to know?”“Don’t you have any more questions?”Rhys nodded.“For now, I know enough.”He stretched his shoulders.“The rest can wait until after the mission.”“We have plenty of time to talk later.”“But if we keep sitting here…”“We’re only wasting daylight.”Grace smiled and nodded.“Alright.”She stood up as well.“In that case…”“Should we head to the mayor’s office now?”She glanced toward the window.“We arrived this morning.”“It’s already been several hours.”She rubbed her throat with a small laugh.“And after talking this much…”“My throat is getting sore.”“Maybe we should grab something to eat first.”“Then visit the mayor.”Rhys nodded.“Sounds good.”“Although…”He raised a finger.“There’s one thing we need to do before meeting him.”Grace tilted her head.“One more thing?”A second later, realization flashed across h

Rhys frowned thoughtfully.“So Sage Dent belongs to that second category?”Grace nodded.“That’s right.”“And he’s not the only one.”She leaned back in her chair.“Besides Valaris Academy, there are two other academies led by World Class Beast Tamers.”“The Ironhand Guild has one.”“So do the Witch Tower and the Magic Tower.”She began counting them off on her fingers.“There are also two major chambers of commerce.”“The Merchant Guild.”“And several other influential organizations.”She smiled faintly.“Even the Dragon King falls into this category.”Rhys raised an eyebrow.“The Dragon King?”“Yes.”Grace nodded.“The pattern is actually very simple.”“Almost every major organization has at least one World Class Beast Tamer standing behind it.”“The kingdoms acknowledge their strength and grant them a certain level of independence.”“In return, those organizations obey the law and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”She shrugged.“It’s beneficial for everyone.”“Those organizations

“Five World Class Beast Tamers…”Rhys leaned back in his chair as he considered what Grace had just told him.“That’s quite a number.”Grace nodded.“It is.”“Normally, whenever someone shows the potential to become a World Class Beast Tamer, the royal family will do everything it can to bring that person into the royal bloodline.”“The easiest way is marriage.”“If the Beast Tamer is a man, they’ll marry him to a princess.”“If it’s a woman, they’ll arrange a marriage with one of the princes.”She smiled faintly.“Once that happens, they can legally grant that person the title and authority of a Duke or Duchess.”She folded her hands together.“That’s one of the reasons my position has always been so dominant.”“I’ve earned the support of two World Class Beast Tamers.”“None of the other candidates can compare.”Her expression gradually became more serious.“Of course…”“Once I lose my succession rights…”“My father will most likely recall Duke Carmichael.”“He serves the kingdom fir

Before discussing something as sensitive as the royal succession, Rhys and Grace decided to find somewhere private. They entered one of the better inns in Ellenwood City and rented its finest room. Business had nearly collapsed after the disaster. Very few travelers still came through the city, so the innkeeper greeted them with unusual enthusiasm. Every request was handled immediately, and privacy was guaranteed without them even asking. Once the door was closed, the outside world seemed to disappear. Rhys and Grace sat across from each other with a small table between them. Grace took a deep breath before raising one finger. “Let’s start from the beginning.” “There are thirteen royal children in total.” “Eight princes.” “And five princesses.” She smiled. “But you don’t have to remember all of them.” “Only four are actual candidates for the throne.” “They’re the only ones with enough influence and support to realistically become the next sovereign.” Rhys no
