Chapter 122 Griharel

Chapter 122 Gerry Harrell

Who is Gaode Maps?

Just as Gaode finished his "special" lunch and was about to leave, someone suddenly shouted a question at the restaurant entrance.

The man's voice was loud, instantly drowning out the noisy whispers in the restaurant.

Everyone, including Gaode, turned to look at the restaurant entrance.

A tall, thin, well-to-do-looking young man dressed in a school uniform robe stood at the restaurant entrance, his gaze sweeping over the people inside.

His gaze was exceptionally sharp, carrying an inexplicable sense of oppression; few dared to meet his eyes directly.

"If it's Alchemy Chief Gerry Harrell looking for someone, why is he acting like he's causing trouble?" Gao De overheard people whispering nearby.

Gerry Harrell Gold chewed over the name in his mind.

He had never heard of the given name before, but the surname sounded strangely familiar.

While everyone was still speculating about what Gerry Harrell wanted with that guy named God, God already had a vague idea in his mind.

Just then, Gerry Harrell's gaze swept over everyone in the restaurant.

In the process, he seemed to have already locked onto his target.

His sharp gaze finally landed on Gao De, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he walked straight to Gao De's dining table.

Gao De stood up, his brows slightly furrowed.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Gao De, right?" Gerry Harrell asked.

"You've got the wrong person," Gao De replied.

After saying that, he turned and left.

When Gerry Harrell saw Gao De turn and leave, he was clearly stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Gao De to make such a reaction.

It wasn't until Gao De had walked several steps and was almost out of the restaurant that Gerry Harrell realized what was happening.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

His expression immediately darkened, and he quickened his pace, blocking Gaode's path again.

His expression toward Gao De was full of disdain.

"No wonder he's a country bumpkin who got in through a back door with just a letter of recommendation; he doesn't even dare to admit his own name."

"How dare someone like you study alongside me at the Cyrus Magic Academy?"

Gerry Harrell's voice was neither lowered nor deliberately amplified.

As soon as these words were spoken, and with the other trainees in the restaurant already in a "spectator" mode, watching the two's actions closely, the situation became even more interesting.

Almost everyone heard Gerry Harrell's words and knew about Gaode's origins.

Gaud looked expressionlessly at Gerry Harrell, who was blocking his way. "First of all, you have no right to decide whether I am qualified to study at the Cyrus Academy of Magic."

He continued calmly, "Also, my name is indeed Gaode, but I'm not the only one with this name."

"Just like your name is Gerry, in my hometown there is also a mongrel dog named Gerry, and we are very close. He would bark and come to me all day long, but I don't think of you as him."

"I only know a mongrel named Gerry, not you, so the Gaode you're looking for probably isn't me either."

Gerry Harrell clearly never expected Gaod to give such a reply, and he also understood that Gaod was subtly mocking him as a "country bumpkin."

Caught off guard, he froze on the spot, unsure of what to say.

But he only stood there stunned for a few seconds.

"Heh." Gerry Harrell sneered. "You're quite the sharp-tongued one."

"As a senior member of the academy, it seems necessary for me to teach a newcomer like you some of the academy's rules."

"The instructors at the Academy of Rules will teach me, so there's no need for you to meddle." Even though he was at a disadvantage, Gao De didn't hold back, a stark contrast to his "sensible" demeanor when he was making a deal with Master Laer.

The reason is also very simple.

The latter option is available; by being polite, one can earn politeness in return from Master Ral.

As for Gerry Harrell, whether I am polite or not, I cannot change his hostility, so why should I be polite?

Moreover, Gerry Harrell was, after all, just an old student.

How could the trouble he could bring upon himself possibly compare to that of the high-ranking mage, Lal?

"The first lesson I taught you is to show respect to the elderly." Gerry Harrell was finally put off by Gao De's attitude and started to lose his temper.

"Your mission upon entering university is to deliver 3000 kilograms of water gold ore to the Alchemy Department." A clear, clenched whisper, but only he could hear it, suddenly reached Gao De's ears.

[Communication techniques].

"Just so you know, I happen to be the current head of the alchemy department, and collecting and settling the daily water gold ore is within my purview. You'll see."

Gerry Harrell looked at God with disdain, as if he could already see the panic about to appear on his face.

Even though he was the chief alchemist, he did not have the right to invalidate the water gold ore handed over by Gaode.

However, it's still possible to cause some trouble for Gaode Maps during this process.

For example, the settlement process for gold ore on Gaode Maps is more stringent.

Their alchemy system requires a certain purity of water gold ore to create experimental golems.

About 20% of the newly submitted gold ore does not meet this purity requirement.

In other words, if the review is strict, Gaode will have to hand over 750 kilograms of water gold ore to complete the enrollment task.

However, according to the unspoken rule of the college, the purity requirements are never considered when collecting the water gold ore handed in by freshmen.

The number of kilograms of water gold ore that new students submit is determined by the amount they have.

As long as it's dug out from a mine at the bottom of the cliff and weighs enough, it's acceptable.

After all, the primary purpose of this enrollment mission is to train the new students; the water gold ore is just an extra bonus.

Moreover, once the new students complete their enrollment tasks, they will become official students.

In the world of mages, a year or two is nothing at all.

In other words, it is actually quite common for senior students to be surpassed by new students.

As the saying goes, "Never underestimate a young person's potential."

As a senior student, there's absolutely no need to offend a new student during the enrollment process; otherwise, you might be the one who suffers the consequences a few years later.

"I'm so scared," Gao De replied, his lips moving slightly.

However, this answer could only be heard by Gerry.

Gorde remained unusually calm in the face of Gerry Harrell's threats.

Because Gerry Harrell's threats to him seemed truly ridiculous to him.

However, Gaode also learned a lesson from this incident.

In academies, rules still have a significant deterrent effect.

"Trainees must not harm each other."

This is one of the college's rules.

Therefore, Gerry Harrell dared not do anything outside the rules and could only use this method to intimidate him.

They didn't even dare to threaten him openly, but instead used methods like [communication magic], for fear of being overheard by others.

……

After giving his reply, Gao De stopped wasting time talking to Gerry Harrell and left the restaurant.
