Chapter 104: Have I Become a Legendary Mage’s Disciple?

Upon hearing the sudden voice beside him, William was startled, his whole body tensing up, and his hairs stood on end.

The magical model he was constructing in his hands almost collapsed. William quickly reorganized the control of magical elements, stabilizing the spell model that was about to lose control, and slowly dispersing it.

Fortunately, William’s control over the elements was quite outstanding now, not inferior to an average gold-level mage. Otherwise, if he were frightened like this, he would have definitely blown himself up on the spot.

“Not bad, your control over the elements is quite remarkable.”

The same voice came from beside him again. William took a deep breath and turned to look.

There stood a young man in a black mage robe behind him, smiling at him.

Although this young man was just standing there casually, in William’s eyes, he seemed to be the center of the entire world.

Countless magical elements spontaneously surrounded him, even the most explosive fire elements and the most stable earth elements behaved obediently around him, like lambs.

William was very familiar with this scene, without any hesitation, he bowed respectfully and said, “Respected Dean Apollo, it is an honor to meet you.”

“Oh, have you seen me before?”

Apollo smiled and said, seemingly very friendly, but he exerted great pressure on William.

Why did this big shot return to Canlight City at this time? Clearly, in his past life, he only returned after the assassination case during the Annual Holy Festival. And now he appeared in his own laboratory?

William’s brain was spinning rapidly, pondering all possibilities, but on the surface, he respectfully replied, “Yes, I have seen a portrait of the Dean in the academy.”

Forget about William seeing this “Flame of Judgment” in his previous life, even with the absurd situation around him, other than legendary-level mages, who else could it be? And Canlight City happened to be the residence of a legendary mage.

“Hehe.”

Apollo waved his hand, and two chairs leaning against the wall floated over. “Sit,” he said with a smile, sitting down on one of the chairs.

Although this was William’s home, Apollo behaved as if he were the host, but William didn’t feel anything inappropriate about it.

Joking aside, this was a legendary-level powerhouse, with the same demeanor as when dealing with the king. Not to mention, he was just a Viscount.

William obediently sat down on the other chair, waiting for the big shot’s instructions.

Apollo suddenly turned his head to look at the shadow on the wall, then smiled at William and said, “You’re William, right? I heard from Odysseus that you’ve become an arcanist?”

In fact, when Apollo saw William for the first time, he confirmed that he was indeed a true arcanist.

The phenomenon of magical elements gathering around William’s body was extremely conspicuous in the eyes of another arcanist.

“Yes, Dean.”

“Very well.” Apollo nodded, then smiled and asked, “I’ve been entrusted to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?”

Hmm! What’s going on here?

William’s brain was shaking wildly, feeling like lying comfortably at home, suddenly a group of men in black barged in, and the leader in a suit respectfully told you that you’re the illegitimate child of the country’s richest man, and he wants you to inherit all of his inheritance.

Feeling dizzy from the shock of this news, but William’s reaction at the moment showed no hesitation.

“I’m willing, Dean!”

Joking aside, this was to become the disciple of a legendary mage!

Seriously speaking, with just the status of a legendary mage’s disciple, his position was not lower than that of Prince Julius.

He didn’t need to worry about Prince assassinating him anymore. As long as he publicized his identity, Prince Julius wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on him.

But it was very strange, why would this “Flame of Judgment” suddenly take him as his disciple?

Was it from Vice Dean Odysseus?

It shouldn’t be. Even if successfully transitioning to an arcanist proved his talent, at this moment, this Dean should not be in the capital. Could it be that he came all the way back just for him?

And just now, he mentioned being entrusted? Most of his family’s elders should no longer be around, right? Could it be… William suddenly had a vague guess, but he needed to confirm some things.

“Well, from now on, you can just call me teacher.”

Apollo was quite satisfied too. It was much better to take in such a genius as a disciple than teaching someone as wooden as a log.

“Yes, teacher.”

William’s address rolled off his tongue smoothly, as if he had rehearsed it many times.

Apollo laughed and said:

“I once had a disciple, but he didn’t successfully break through to legendary and has passed away. So, you are now my only disciple.”

“I have no special requirements. After all, learning and growing are your own matters, you must be clear about that yourself.”

“I’ll be in the academy for this period of time. Starting now, come to the first magic workshop in the academy every morning.”

“How much you can learn during my time in the academy depends on you.”

“Now that you’ve become an arcanist, let me give you a piece of advice.”

“Knowledge is what we should truly revere, not the gods.”

Apollo stood up, casually imparting these words to William, words that would be considered heretical in the eyes of the Church of the Gods.

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

With a movement of his right hand, a brass ring with an ancient design emitting a radiant light appeared in front of William.

Apollo gestured for William to take the ring. Winking at William, he said with a smile:

“Since I’ve taken you as my disciple, as your teacher, I naturally won’t be stingy. This ring is for you.”

With that said, Apollo’s figure disappeared from the basement, silently, just as he had appeared.

At the same time, a white identity information card appeared on the table.

William swallowed nervously, reaching out to take the brass-colored ring floating in front of him, but instead of rushing to examine it, he calmed his emotions and began to contemplate the current situation.

So, am I now a disciple of a legendary mage? This sudden surprise made William feel somewhat uncomfortable, almost like he was in a dream.

He pinched himself hard, William’s expressionless face confirming the current situation once again.

Hmm, it hurts, I’m not dreaming!

It’s not surprising that William was overly excited; after all, the situation was too astonishing.

You see, it’s still before the arrival of the Great Tide of the Gaia World era, not the time when demons and monsters emerge. Even then, legendary mages are still among the top-tier powerhouses.

And now, His Teacher, the Dean of the Fis Royal Academy of Magic, is the only legendary powerhouse in the Fis Kingdom. (except the hidden one in palace)

This was a prestige at its peak!

This also meant that William could now walk brazenly in the kingdom. As long as he didn’t do anything outrageous, even the king wouldn’t harm him! Honestly, William felt an urge to punch the second prince right in the face.
