Chapter 447 He’s Busy

Outside the magic room, Arthur appraised Krassu in a respectful manner, and informed, “Master, the gold coins have all been transported here from Rodu, but there’s quite a large quantity of them, so I was wondering where you would like them to be stored. The magic items that you requested have also been purchased, and the magic room from the Magus Tower has been disassembled. All of the useful items have been transported here.”

“Stuff all of the gold coins onto the first floor. I asked Novan if I could use the first floor to store gold coins, and he agreed. Store the magic items into another room, and organize them in different categories. I’ll be able to build a new magic room for Little Amy in the next few days,” Krassu replied with an expectant smile on his face.

“Yes.” Arthur nodded, and hesitated momentarily before asking, “Master, the people from the Magus Tower have also arrived, and they’re currently at the school gates. Aside from challenging Chaos School, their other objective is to pay a visit to you. Would you like to see them today?”

“No. I’m busy teaching Little Amy magic. Those guys aren’t here with any good intentions, anyway. If they want to challenge Amy, then they’ll have to challenge Chaos School first as Amy will be representing Chaos School.” Krassu shook his head firmly. He then turned to look at Amy, who was still painstakingly attempting to combine the two types of magic, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

“Alright, I’ll relay the message to them.” Arthur nodded respectfully before turning to leave.

As he went back into the magic room, Krassu murmured to himself, “Those old farts went through all this trouble to send those little brats to me; it would be a shame if I don’t teach them a good lesson.”

In the principal’s office, the chubby school administrator stood in front of Novan’s desk, and asked, “Principal, should we accept the challenge or not?”

“Why not?” Novan answered his question with one of his own.

“Principal, during the past few years, the magic casters from the Advanced Imperial Academy and Magus Tower have dominated our students, and our Chaos School’s reputation has taken a massive hit. Many of our students have also been burdened with pressure and trauma as a result. If the same thing were to happen again this time, it would be really bad for our Chaos School.” The administrator was a little hesitant in his reply.

“So we’re going to decline the challenge just because we’re afraid of losing? In that case, none of our students will develop and become powerful magic casters. Have you forgotten the importance of standing up against adversity, Grinton?” Novan put down the magic tome in his hands, and looked up at the administrator with a calm expression as he said, “I’m not interested in making Chaos School an invincible force. Instead, I’m much more concerned with how the students recover from failure before rising to defeat those who’d once defeated them. As for pressure and trauma, if our students can be crushed by just a single defeat, then it shows that our education is lacking. We should be taking a good look at ourselves instead of mollycoddling our students to keep them away from battles.”

“Yes, my apologies, Principal.” Grinton lowered his head with an ashamed look.

“Accept the challenge. So what if they’re from the Magus Tower or the Advanced Imperial Academy? I have to let the students know that there are more exceptional young prodigies than them out there. They started from a higher point, and if our students want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in the future, then they’ll have to work extra hard to get there,” Novan said with a smile.

“Yes.” Grinton nodded.

Novan continued, “Host the challenge tomorrow. All classes will be suspended for a day so teachers and students can spectate. Our students will be able to witness a battle between magic casters, while our teachers will be able to learn from the Advanced Imperial Academy’s teaching methods; it’s a win-win situation.”

“Yes, I’ll organize that right away.” Grinton nodded before departing.

At the front gates of Chaos School, Grinton made his way over to the official from the Roth Empire, and said, “Welcome, friends from Rodu. I am the administrator of Chaos School, Grinton. On behalf of Chaos School, I accept the challenge proposed by the Magus Tower and the Advanced Imperial Academy. The challenge will take place tomorrow; we’ll notify you regarding the specific time tonight. I hope this will be a mutually beneficial match for both sides.”

“Yes, I’m sure it will be.” Abbott nodded in response.

Hank turned to Grinton with a displeased look, and asked, “Are you not going to invite us into Chaos School to have a seat? Is this how your Chaos School treats its guests?”

“Chaos School is a school, not a hotel. The students are all currently attending lessons, so outsiders cannot be granted entry. Please come back after receiving an official invitation from Chaos School tomorrow.” Grinton narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hank.

He had been a school administrator for over 20 years, and during that time, he had seen all sorts of naughty students. If that green-haired brat were his student, he would definitely shave him bald.

For some reason, a chill ran down Hank’s spine as he was scrutinized by Grinton, and he was struck with an indescribable sense of fear.

“We respect the rules of Chaos School, but aside from challenging Chaos School this time, we’re also here on behalf of the Magus Tower to congratulate Master Krassu on accepting a disciple. I heard that he’s currently in Chaos School, so would it be possible for us to pay him a visit?” Abbott asked.

At that moment, Arthur approached Abbott, and said, “Master Krassu says he’s busy. Tomorrow, both Master Krassu and Amy will be present at the match. You can congratulate him then.”

“So that little brat doesn’t have the guts to accept our challenge?” Hank turned to Arthur with a taunting look on his face.

“Master Krassu has said that Amy will be participating in the match tomorrow.” Arthur looked at Hank with a level gaze.

“Good. I’m sure I’ll be able to leave a strong impression on her.” A cold smile appeared on Hank’s face.

In the afternoon, after the lessons for the day had ended, Krassu turned to Amy with a smile, and asked, “Little Amy, there will be a bunch of little brats coming to challenge Chaos School tomorrow, but their main objective is to challenge you in order to embarrass me. Hence, I want you to represent Chaos School to battle them; would you be willing to do that?”

“So I have to beat up bad people? Of course I can do that! If they want to embarrass Master Krassu, then I’ll just have to beat them to a pulp.” Amy clenched her little fist, and nodded with a serious expression.

“Good. Let’s go back now. Urien’s putting the finishing touches on your wand, and it should be ready tomorrow.” The warm smile on Krassu’s face widened as he patted Amy’s little head.

“Yay! A wand that can expand and shrink must be super awesome!” Amy’s eyes instantly lit up with elation.

“The wand has gathered the most powerful domains of three 10th-tier magic casters. It’s the only one of its kind on the entire Norland Continent, so of course it’s the most powerful wand in existence.” Krassu nodded with a proud expression as he led Amy out the door. He was also looking forward to seeing what the wand would be like.
