BXBX NOVEL Chapter 226 His Invitation (3)
There was a surprised smile that was amused by the fact that I saw through his ploy this easily.
He was good with his words, he definitely was and I had to give it to him when it came to deception.
He was a master maybe grandmaster in my eyes for that amazing prowess and I really admired him.
He was a bastard through and through but, he was someone I can\'t actually ever hate.
He was a good being as a person and he was more than just strong and wise.
It took more than the strength and wisdom to become headmaster of the greatest learning institute and his good heart was one of the main conditions.
He was good with his words and I might have fallen for them but not me. Not this time at least.
Not that it was all on my own thinking. If Lucy wasn\'t there to remind me, I would definitely have forgotten what the hell was even going on.
He just cast a spell on our entire family and even restricted Rein from speaking or moving.
There was no way I would believe there was just that much to the story he just told so casually.
"Hohoho. I wonder what you did before your reincarnation to have such mind and experience, young boy.
You were most definitely someone special in that place, too, right?
Well, I have no interest in past lives, so let\'s just move on.
What you said is true, there will be a test but, I believe you will pass with flying colors and I won\'t have to erase your memories or something like that.
Being a student council member is an honor on its own in true meaning, and you will also get rewards for finishing each mission.
Well, just having unlimited access to the library is enough, right?"
There was a radiant smile on his face as he said all that stuff, and I also agreed with him.
It really was an honor from all the things I knew and had read.
The academy was actually there since ancient times twenty thousand years before and he was the twenty-first headmaster of the academy and one of the best in known history.
Well, I had read books about the academy and many of them were from its foundation\'s time, unlike him, who only knew stuff in the library and the history of the last three thousand years.
And, I didn\'t actually want to say this but, after Zoe, maybe I was the only one who knew about the [Island of magic\'s wealth] and [The grand academy of hope] the most.
And I knew all the things one wants to know about being a teacher, student, council member, president, vice-president, or even headmaster.
But that knowledge had partial restrictions, and I didn\'t want to risk anything by saying it out loud unnecessarily.
This offer was tempting in itself but, I knew every headmaster had the obligation to \'test\' and find the best of the best for the council because ultimately, we would be the ones that carry out the headmaster\'s tasks as his shadows.
And he naturally needed ones who knew how to do the work properly.
Plus, we will be taught by the best of the best as the council members. So, he also had to take into account the latent potential.
And all council members were special individuals, far more than the twelve prodigy world was waiting for.
Aside from the student council president and vice-president, no one knew the identity of the members. Not even other council members themselves until revealed in certain circumstances.
And even if someone other than the council members came to know the identities, according to rules, their memories of that had to be erased.
He had to choose the members carefully, and the council president and vice president had the duty to choose their successors from the council members after an extra year\'s evaluation.
As the principal, he had to get his hands on the most special ones, like Rein or me, before anyone.
And my potential was even greater than Rein herself in his all-seeing eyes.
Though it came as a sudden surprise and would hinder my plans for a peaceful life, Rein was already in this mess.
And if I refused now, she will be alone and will have no one by her side.
But I still had my own condition to join the council, and he will have to accept it if he wanted me.
Looking deep into his eyes like he had been all this time, I started saying my condition.
"Rein and I. Same class. A normal one would be ok. As for the condition, I want you to let Zoe join the academy as a normal student.
I know you can\'t see her potential with your eyes, and that\'s because it\'s so overwhelmingly great that it can\'t be fathomed by mortals like us.
She has talent, potential, and knowledge, but... she has no experience of the world at all.
She\'s too sheltered, has lived in a forest practically her entire life, and even after she knows even more about the world than me, she has lived no life at all.
She\'s a young child that only knows how to control her power and most of the powers are sealed because of certain circumstances.
And that\'s even better because she will be safe.
I want her to have a normal life even if I get to be dragged into messes, she has the right to a normal life.
And I request you to look after her.
That\'s the first part of the condition."
He had a proud face through all the time I was talking about Zoe but, as soon as I said the \'first part of the condition\' thing, his face fell and became weird.
His gorgeous eyes were practically asking me what the hell I was saying, wanting to finish the damn thing, and on this, my eyes became stoic, which made him flinch.
"I want area 69MF."
And as soon as those words escaped my lips, an earthquake occurred in his eyes.
