Magus Supremacy - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Rewards Chapter 137: Rewards Chapter 137 In twenty minutes, the Lunaria squad approached the academy, landing gracefully before the double doors.

Grey used his wind magic to effortlessly carry Jay and Arthur as they descended.

Upon entering, they rushed to the academy’s clinic, where high-level recovery mages and alchemists examined them and the unconscious members of their squad.

As their treatment progressed, a familiar figure walked into the clinic-a man with a bald head so polished it seemed capable of reflecting sunlight.

“Instructor Von?!” Scarlet called out, drawing Grey’s attention.

‘I’m not one to judge, but I swear I can see my reflection on his head,’ Grey mused with a silent chuckle as Von approached, glancing at the unconscious Jay and Arthur.

“I’m proud of you all for completing the mission successfully,” Von said.

“How do you know we completed it?

For all you know, we might have run away,” Grey remarked.

“Run away?!” Von let out a hearty laugh as he stepped closer, locking eyes with Grey.

“If you had, we would’ve known, and you wouldn’t be allowed back here.” Grey scoffed while Von took a step back.

“Anyway, that’s not why I’m here.

Captain Amir sent for you all.

Since some of your team are still out cold, the rest of you should come with me.” “Sorry, Instructor Von, but I’ll pass.” Grey slumped back into his bed.

“Still feeling a little weak.” “Same here,” Vanica added.

“You, I don’t care about,” Von said, glancing at Vanica before turning back to Grey.

“But you, Grey, the captain specifically requested your presence.

After all, he assigned you this mission.” “If the captain asked for you, you should go,” Scarlet said as she swung her legs over the bed.

“I didn’t need your permission,” Grey muttered, pushing himself up.

Together, they followed Von out of the clinic.

The moment they exited, a teleportation mage stood before them.

Without a word, he grabbed their hands and teleported them away.

In mere seconds, they arrived before a massive silver-painted door.

A soft knock was met with a voice inviting them inside.

As they stepped in, they found themselves in a spacious office with pristine white walls and a marble floor.

A large desk sat in one corner, stacked with mountains of paperwork.

Behind it, Captain Amir sat, his presence exuding an air of authority.

“Oh, Von!” Amir greeted before tilting his head to spot Grey, Greg, and Scarlet.

“And the wonderful squad that successfully completed their mission.” “C-Captain Amir!” Greg stuttered, feeling the weight of the captain’s calm yet overwhelming aura.

It could suffocate the weak, but Grey stood unaffected, hands casually tucked in his pockets.

“You may leave, Von,” Amir instructed.

With a slight bow, Von exited the room.

“Now, give me your report.

What exactly happened in the town?” “Yes, sir!” Scarlet stepped forward, recounting everything-from their encounter with the bandits to the town’s devastation, the victims, the battle, and the unexpected arrival of the bandit leader.

When she finished, Greg took over, detailing the battle with the three-star mage.

Amir listened intently, nodding as he processed the information.

Finally, he sighed.

“So, they weren’t ordinary bandits if they went as far as massacring civilians,” Amir mused.

“And from your report, there were about fifty of them, along with a three-star mage.

That is indeed strange.” “There’s one more thing,” Grey spoke up, stepping forward.

“That mage mentioned something before he died.

These weren’t just bandits; they were part of a group.” “A group?” Amir’s eyes narrowed.

“What was it called?” “Something like ‘Eclipse Pact’ or whatever,” Grey said with a shrug.

“Ring any bells?” “Hmph!

Never heard of it.” Amir rested his chin on his hand, a puzzled expression crossing his face.

“I’ll consult the principal.

He might know something.” “Whatever,” Grey muttered, turning to leave.

“Hold on!” Amir stopped him.

“I want to reward you all for a job well done.

Each of you may request one thing-anything within the academy’s power, and it will be granted.

Whether it’s a spell scroll to advance your magic, a private training session, or something else, name it.” Grey paused mid-step, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.

“Anything?” he repeated.

“Anything within my capability,” Amir confirmed.

“I… I want a three-day private session with Instructor Von,” Scarlet declared.

‘He uses fire magic like me, and he’s skilled in creation magic.

I need him to teach me more than the standard lessons-I refuse to be outpaced by that peasant!’ she thought.

“That’s simple enough.

I’ll speak with him.

If he agrees, you’ll have your training.” Amir nodded.

“Thank you,” Scarlet said, bowing slightly.

“And you?” Amir turned to Greg.

“I want a scroll to advance my lightning magic,” Greg requested.

“Granted,” Amir confirmed.

“And you, Grey?” “I want a full day of unrestricted access to the academy’s library.

Every book, every document-anything with relevant information.” “Huh?

Why just a day in the library?

Don’t you want something to enhance your magic?” Amir asked, raising a brow.

“As the saying goes, knowledge is power,” Grey replied with a shrug.

“I’m already strong enough.

If I want more power, I know how to get it.” ‘If this works, I can finally start investigating the otherworlders!

That librarian in Kiten Town told me to come to the capital for information.

Now that I’m here, it’s time to begin.’ “That’s an easy request.

Consider it done,” Amir agreed.

“Additionally, I’m giving your entire team a day off from classes tomorrow.

Spend it however you like-go into town, celebrate, or rest.” “Thank you, sir!” they all responded in unison.

“Greg, your scroll will be delivered.

Grey, I’ll send someone to escort you to the library.” Amir clapped, signaling the teleportation mage to reenter the room.

‘Knowledge is power indeed,’ Amir thought as he watched them vanish.

‘I need to dig deeper into this Eclipse Pact.

The principal must be informed, and I suspect a meeting among the captains will be necessary.’ With that, Amir stood from his desk and left the room, his mind already racing with plans.
