Chapter 390
390 – Respect
“Haha, welcome, welcome. Choosing the necromancy major is definitely the correct decision!” When Gene saw these few young students making a beeline for their position, he couldn’t help but chuckle as he hastily stood up, taking out a few pamphlets and passed one to each person. He smiled as he explained, “Everyone fill in your details. Hehe, there aren’t many rules in our necromancy major and the school fees is the lowest.”
These youngsters that came over were clearly attracted by Han Shuo’s reputation. After hearing Gene’s instructions, all of them excitedly leaned over the table to fill in their forms.
There were a few youngsters that had been lingering a distance away and they didn’t seem to be from the same group. However, their goal was identical and were also searching for the necromancy major’s location. When they heard the shouts coming from this direction, all of them had an excited look as they headed for the necromancy major’s area.
“Hey Carlisle, your mental strength is excellent and your affinity with the darkness element is extremely high. As long as you are willing to study dark magic, you will definitely become a dark grand magus. Don’t leave, for a student like you, our dark major also gives many benefits.” a dark magic professor hastily shouted as he looked at a youngster directly heading toward the necromancy major in the corner.
“I’m sorry but I was under the impression that the dark major and necromancy major were the same and hence came over here. I didn’t that that the necromancy major could actually enroll students on their own. I apologise. The reason I’m here is because i want to become a necromancy grand magus like Marquis Bryan, not because of the dark major!” For this youngster to find out about Han Shuo’s title of Marquis, he definitely does not come from a simple background. He was neither haughty nor humble as he replied, performing a bow before leaving the dark major’s recruitment point in large strides without any hesitation.
The expression of dark major archmage Deo who was sitting behind the dark major’s recruitment table gradually became unsightly. Carlisle was a student that he fancied for a long time. From the start when Carlisle entered Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, Deo was immediately certain that Carlisle was a good seedling in studying dark magic.
So as to recruit Carlisle, Deo even sent a few teachers to separately approach him. Carlisle had also showed great passion from the start and was always extremely pleased. Who would have known that in the end, Carlisle actually headed for the necromancy major without even looking back, even saying that the reason why he was amicable with them was purely because he misunderstood the relation between the dark major and the necromancy major. That was practically a slap to Deo’s face.
“Isn’t it just a petty slave achieving unexpected success, what is so amazing about that. Hmph.” The dark major teacher that was rejected by Carlisle couldn’t help but censure furiously, attempting to vent the resentment in his heart.
“Deo, isn’t the necromancy major a branch of the dark major? Why does the current situation seem like the necromancy major faintly pressuring the dark major instead. I didn’t expect that in the time that I left the dark major, not only did you not progress, you actually led the dark major to such a state?” A tall and lean middle aged magus appeared next to Deo, frowning as he berated Deo who was the dark major’s person in charge.
“Th-this, Lord Amyes, where do these words stem from?” Voigtlander was startled, somewhat baffled as he inquired.
“Go comprehend it yourself. Haha, the reason why I’ve said this to you is on the account of you inviting me. Look at those fellows in the dark major, I can guarantee that they would pay bitterly sooner or later. Oh, it’s not sooner or later, maybe they would pay bitterly very soon. Ha, That fellow actually came, didn’t he just depart from His Majesty’s place not long ago?” Amyes first warned Voigtlander, before suddenly spotting a tall and imposing figure in the distance. He couldn’t help but exclaiming softly.
Following Amyes line of sight, Voigtlander also saw the approaching Han Shuo. He couldn’t help but cry in alarm, “Good gracious, how has that fellow become so tall!”
The previous time Voigtlander saw Han Shuo, he wasn’t even 1.80 meters. Han Shuo had immediately looked for Fanny every time he went to the necromancy major and normal people would simply not have the chance to see Han Shuo. The figure of Han Shuo who trained in demonic magic was currently as imposing as a demonic god, naturally exuding devilishly attractive traits.
Even though he was within a sea of people, Han Shuo’s tall and imposing body and traits would still draw in everyone’s gaze, causing everyone to focus their attention on him, inevitably becoming everyone’s focal point.
“Master Fanny, it’s Bryan!! Bryan’s here, he really came!” Lisa was originally glancing around senselessly, not expecting Han Shuo to really return. When she saw Han Shuo’s prominent figure in the corner of her eye, her heart was in upheaval and she was unable to resist crying out in surprise.
“It seems that only when I truly see him that I realise that all these days of trying to forget him has been useless. I, I’m still unable to forget him!” after crying out in surprise, Lisa’s expression suddenly dulled as she sighed inwardly.
When she heard Lisa’s cry, Fanny’s eyes gave off a joyous radiance of disbelief. She was somewhat unable to resist immediately standing up, but remembered that there were many people around. She couldn’t help but blush as she sat back down, scolding herself inwardly for losing control. She imitated the action of taking a sip of water, controlling her tone as much as possible as she said to the group of excited youngsters, “That person is Bryan, he can be considered as your senior.”
These new necromancy students that rushed over due to Han Shuo’s reputation had just completed the procedures to enter the necromancy major. When they heard Fanny’s sentence, they couldn’t help but blush, all of them standing on tiptoe to do their utmost in seeing a little further, searching for any trace of their hero. In that moment, their young and tender hearts were filled with emotions and excitement.
As Han Shuo continued walking, he realised that due to his appearance, numerous gazes were uniformly converging on him. When Han Shuo looked around and did not immediately see the necromancy major’s recruitment point, he couldn’t help but become suspicious.
However, Han Shuo understood that the necromancy major was a branch of the dark major and the dark major’s location was actually extremely conspicuous. Only after a mystical demon floated upward to overlook the area, did he spot Fanny in a corner behind the dark major. When Han Shuo saw the words on the banner being held up by five skeleton warriors, he couldn’t help but laugh and think inwardly, as Lancelot Empire’s largest magic academy, why does the recruitment seem like a food market?
Han Shuo continued walking toward the necromancy major as he pondered. Just as Han Shuo was about to reach the necromancy major’s recruitment point, Deo hastily pulled Crowley, saying in a low voice, “That fellow is Bryan, if you intend to seize the chance to become famous, defeating him is a good idea!”
Crowley followed Deo’s gaze, couldn’t help but blew a raspberry, “Deo, did you make a mistake, is that fellow really a necromancer? Why does he look like he’s more well-built than barbarian warriors!”
Deo was somewhat speechless, having an ugly expression as he explained, “That’s right, it’s him. Merely, it is said that he also practices a mysterious martial technique and had previously defeated Brut Merchant Alliance’s Leah Cain. Crowley, could it be that you are afraid?”
“Also practices a martial technique…” Crowley stared blankly, before smiling confidently as he replied, “A magus that isn’t focused on one thing is the easiest to deal with. If you didn’t mention this point, I would still be somewhat apprehensive. Since that is the case, I feel reassured.”
As Han Shuo headed for the necromancy major, he was slightly surprised at the amount of attention he was getting. He didn’t think that his appearance would actually cause such so many people to be flustered.
The light major’s recruitment point was also at a very eye-catching location. Han Shuo had noticed Amyes through a mystical demon and when he passed by the light major’s recruitment point, he couldn’t help but nodding his head to send his greetings to Amyes who was leisurely sipping tea. As Amyes was one of the three heavyweights of Dark Mantle, he could also be considered Han Shuo’s immediate superior. Furthermore, Amyes was Emily’s brother. No matter publicly or privately, Han Shuo had to show respect when he saw Amyes.
When Amyes who was originally sitting there leisurely sipping tea saw Han Shuo’s greeting, he didn’t dare be disrespectful and actually stood up and smiled as he returned the greeting.
For someone like Amyes to be so respectful to an upstart like Han Shuo, Voigtlander was slightly surprised. As he recalled what Amyes had advised him, Voigtlander suddenly understood, and instead viewed the dark major in schadenfreude. Seeing Crowley’s restless appearance, it seemed like a show was about to begin.
Seeing Amyes stand up to return the greeting, Han Shuo was similarly astonished. No matter how he saw it, with Amyes’ status, even returning the greeting while seated was already showing face to Han Shuo. He truly didn’t think that Amyes would actually stand and show his respect.
This signified that Amyes treated Han Shuo as someone on the same level and simply not treating Han Shuo as a subordinate. Otherwise, regardless of his age or qualifications within Dark Mantle, there was simply no need for Amyes to stand and return the greeting.
Showing a splendid smile, Han Shuo who was slightly confused directly headed for the necromancy major, not thinking deeply about the reason behind Amyes’ friendliness.
Suddenly, a malicious looking middle aged magus stood in Han Shuo’s way. Crowley hiddenly measured up Han Shuo, suddenly saying, “Are you Count Bryan? Haha, let me introduce myself, I am Crowley and have graduated from Babylon Academy’s dark major. I have always been fascinated by the exploration of magic and have recently just returned to Lancelot Empire…”
“Get to the point!” Han Shuo knitted his brows, interrupting before Crowley could complete her sentence.
Crowley had an embarrassed expression, not expecting that with Han Shuo’s position as a noble Count, he actually rudely interrupted his speech. That caused Crowley to be dazed for a moment.
“I heard that Count Bryan is a necromancy grand magus. May I know if Lord Count would give me the honor of comparing notes with me?” After Crowley was interrupted by Han Shuo, he was a little annoyed, getting right to the point and issuing his challenge.
When they heard this sentence, the students and teachers in the dark major were shocked. The attention of the nearby majors were all focused here and had also heard Crowley’s loud challenge. They all became excited in an instant, hastily abandoning their current tasks and rushed over.
Over at the necromancy major, Fanny had continuously gazed at Han Shuo once he appeared and had clearly heard the challenge by dark major’s Crowley. Before Fanny could express anything, Lisa and the other students had already headed over. Fanny hesitated a moment, turning around and said to Gene, “Master Gene, sorry to trouble you to look after this place, I’ll head over to take a look!”
“Sure, go ahead. I will look after this area.” Gene knew the real relationship between Fanny and Han Shuo, nodding understandingly as he replied.
“Let’s go over and take a look too. Haha, where did this fellow come from, to go as far as to challenge our hero.” all the new necromancy students that had joined because of Han Shuo’s reputation excitedly ran over.
Amyes who had just sat down suddenly spurted out a mouth of tea, awkwardly looking at Voigtlander who was on the receiving end. He embarrassingly smiled before saying, “I’m really sorry, that fellow really did as i predicted, wanting to seize the opportunity to make a name for himself. Haha.” “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, my lord is indeed formidable.” as Voigtlander used a napkin to wipe away the tea on his body, he smiled and complimented Amyes. He wouldn’t dare blame Amyes!
