Legend of the Supreme Archmage

Lucan’s Identity Exposed?

“Senior Victor told me to.”

Lucan’s answer made Elena’s expression instantly turn dark. She immediately turned toward Victor and asked,

“What does this mean, Victor?” she asked. “Why was Lucan moved to the storage room?!”

Victor’s heart pounded rapidly, his face pale. His mind spun quickly to come up with the right explanation. However, he could not answer!

All the students stared at Victor in silence. They knew that Lucan’s words were true, but they did not dare interfere because Victor was the third most talented student after Elena’s two accompanying students who knew nothing.

“Ah, sorry, Master. It seems I misspoke.” Lucan suddenly spoke up, diverting everyone’s attention. He then massaged his head slightly and put on a dizzy expression. “I meant that Senior Victor moved to live in the storage room and gave his room to me because he said the storage area had a purer concentration of Mana.”

Lucan’s words made Victor and his friends stare in shock.

A whisper was heard. “Senior Victor gave his room to Lucan? When?!”

“Is that so?” Elena furrowed her brow while looking suspiciously at Victor.

As the master who had cared for these children since they were young, Elena knew the nature of each of her students. As for Victor, he did tend to be arrogant and ambitious. However, because his parents were wealthy merchants, Victor was accustomed to living comfortably.

Then, was it possible that the young man had chosen to live in the storage room instead of his own room?

“Is that true, Victor?” Elena asked again.

Elena’s reprimand made Victor, whose anger had already begun to boil, immediately control himself so that his master would no longer be suspicious. The corner of Victor’s lips lifted, showing the smile that had long been known to be charming.

“My junior fellow disciple is right, Master. I … have indeed been living in the storage room for some time.”

The hand Victor hid inside his long sleeve trembled, showing how angry he was. His two hands gripped each other so tightly that they were injured by his efforts to restrain his anger.

He glanced at Lucan, who stood with a clear expression. In his heart, Victor swore that he would retaliate for what happened today.

It seemed that living on the mountain for three months had made Lucan lose his sanity. Now, that brat dared to make trouble with him?!

Victor would make sure Lucan received an even crueler retaliation!

Knowing what Victor was thinking, Lucan showed a faint smile that made his handsome appearance shine even more. “Don’t worry, Senior Victor. Until Senior reaches the fifth level, Lucan will take good care of Senior’s room.”

After saying that, Lucan turned around and continued walking with Elena, leaving Victor who could only stare at him with red eyes from anger.

In his heart, Lucan said, ‘This is only the beginning….’

His eyes radiated dangerous darkness as he promised, ‘I will surely repay all the pain you gave to the original owner of this body!’

Lucan held his breath when he entered his old room. The small room that Victor had occupied for some time looked dusty with belongings scattered across the floor.

“Lucan,” someone called, making Lucan turn toward the doorway.

Elena’s eldest student had just arrived with a stack of clothes in his hands. His eyes widened slightly upon seeing the state of the room before him.

“Your room … is quite messy,” he said while wrinkling his nose. There was a damp smell that made him reluctant to enter.

Lucan turned around and said, “What do you need, Senior Gideon?”

Gideon, Elena’s eldest student who was known for his calmness as well as his magical talent, offered the stack of clothes in his hands to Lucan. “This is your new uniform. It has been adjusted to your current size, Master Elena chose it specifically.”

Lucan accepted the uniform and replied, “Thank you, Senior Gideon.”

Gideon was slightly surprised, Lucan, who always lowered his head with his shoulders hunched forward, now looked upright when replying to every word he said. He smiled and patted Lucan’s shoulder.

“You have grown up,” Gideon said proudly. “Train harder. I believe you can succeed.”

Gideon’s words made Lucan realize that he had just made a mistake. His personality was very different from the original owner of this body.

Lucan Keagan was shy and timid, while Lucan was cold and straightforward. However, everything had already happened, and it seemed Gideon was happy with the change.

“Quickly change your clothes, Master is waiting to speak with you,” Gideon said as he turned around and left.

Lucan then closed the door and removed Elena’s robe that covered his tattered clothes.

The shabby clothes Lucan was wearing were replaced with a clean white uniform, matching the name of the Academy clearly printed on the main gate, White Dove Academy.

“This Academy is quite prosperous,” Lucan muttered while touching the silk material of the uniform.

After tying his long black hair back and making sure he was properly dressed, Lucan glanced at the sword at the end of the room. The sword must belong to Victor and had been left behind.

Lucan took the sword and saw the cloud engraving on its hilt. There was also a rune engraved to prevent the sword from being used by someone else. This reminded Lucan that White Dove Academy was famous for their Rune Magic.

After placing the sword back in its place, Lucan pushed open the bedroom window. The place was too damp and stuffy, so it needed fresh air from outside.

Lucan’s heart trembled as he observed the view outside. The lake that could be seen from his room reminded Lucan of the Order of Rosethorn.

Lucan clenched his hand. Even though the end of his previous life was very tragic, the Order of Rosethorn had been the place he had belonged to since childhood.

He missed that place.

‘Fool, don’t think about useless things,’ Lucan thought while shaking his head.

Although there were many similarities between White Dove Academy and the Order of Rosethorn, from Lucan’s memories, the two organizations were clearly different.

In Lucan’s memories, the founder of White Dove Academy was a capable and virtuous leader. He had succeeded in suppressing great criminals who endangered the safety of humans in the Eldoria Region, earning the respect of the other three great organizations.

‘I wonder how many thousands of years have passed since that era,’ Lucan thought with a gaze that seemed to pierce through space and time, imagining the beautiful days of his Order. Then, he snorted coldly as he decided to leave the room. ‘I have to learn to forget the past.’

Lucan walked toward the next room, Victor’s room, which from today onward would become his until the man reached the fifth level.

Elena was seen sitting gracefully in a chair and sipping the tea that had been served. Her long eyelashes trembled when she sensed someone’s arrival.

When she looked at Lucan, the woman’s smile blossomed. “Lucan,” she called as she gestured toward the chair in front of her. “Sit.”

When Lucan sat down, Elena said, “I heard from Gideon that your room was a little dirty. I have asked someone to take care of it.”

This statement made Lucan slightly surprised. A student had the obligation to clean their own room, but Elena instead ordered someone else to clean Lucan’s room? No wonder Lucan was hated by everyone if Elena was so partial toward him!

“I don’t think it is necessary, Master. I can clean it myself without troubling the other students.”

Hearing this, Elena smiled. “Lucan is indeed the most understanding.” She added, “However, you don’t need to worry. Gideon said he would take care of it and everyone will also understand that you are still shocked after going through a danger between life and death.”

Because Elena insisted, Lucan could only say, “Alright, Master.”

Then, Elena placed down her teacup and extended her hand. “Give me your hand, I want to examine your magic core.”

For a moment, Lucan fell silent.

If Elena examined Lucan, then … wouldn’t the woman be able to examine Lucan’s actual magic level?!

If so, would Elena realize that he was not Lucan Keagan?
