Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

*Smack!*

With one slap, a handprint appeared on Morris's ugly face.

Morris suddenly woke up with a start.

"what!"

"What are you yelling about!"

"Snapped!"

Another slap.

Morris and Hans were bandits by trade, spending their days robbing and plundering. Although they were bullied after entering Gray Tower Academy, they were still fourth-class talents. As long as they didn't provoke highly talented geniuses or important figures in the school, they could basically thrive.

As for the assessment, there's no need to worry. You just need to gradually build up your mental strength. As for the materials, just take them from other students.

Logically, today should have been a very simple commission of murder and robbery...

How did it turn out like this?

"Dumb?"

"Snapped!"

Morris was severely injured, and things were already in a whirlwind phase.

Gu Chen doesn't care about this or that.

The only reason he hadn't killed the gaunt, cold-faced, damp-haired water wizard in front of him was that he wanted to find out some information about Jobeck-Antinoa.

Three slaps were enough to wake Morris, who had lost too much blood, magic, and was completely drained of his life essence.

His face was full of grievances, and there were even faint tears streaming down his face.

"cry?"

"Even crying counts as time!"

Just as Gu Chen was about to swing his arms again, intending to use his hometown's "language" technique, Morris finally calmed down.

He was about to shout, but then he remembered that he had been slapped a second time because he had shouted, so he swallowed his voice.

"No, don't hit me."

"I was wrong, brother."

"Wrong."

The hushed voice clearly conveyed urgency.

"Snapped!"

Begging for mercy was useless; Gu Chen's slap still landed on his face.

"I don't care who sent you here."

After experiencing battles with Alyssa and Ken, and now killing the tracker Hans and defeating Morris, Gu Chen has come to a profound understanding of one thing.

These wizards are all cunning old foxes, each one more ruthless than the last. If you get in their way or have something they want, they'll be all smiles during the day, but at night they'll come and stab you to death.

Therefore, Gu Chen would not stop at all, even when faced with Morris's pleas for mercy.

Even if the person in front of you is already severely injured and is still begging for mercy, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any secret methods or spells to save his life, or that he's waiting for you to soften your heart and reveal a weakness!

The only option is to fight!

They'll behave once they're scared!

"Snapped!"

Another slap interrupted Maurice, who was about to speak.

"That's exactly what I was about to say!"

"Then why didn't you say 'hurry up'? Are you saying I typed too fast? You think that's my problem?"

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed. The previous slaps had all hit his right cheek, but this time it was his left. By now, Morris's face was swollen like a pig's head.

"It was Mr. Chobeck of the Antinoya family who sent Hans and me to kill you. He said you would most likely go to the Black Forest in the next few days, so all we need to do is stake out the area."

Faced with direct threats of violence and an unpredictable personality, Maurice spewed out words like a machine gun.

Gu Chen stopped what he was doing and listened quietly.

"that's all?"

"that's all!"

Seeing the beating stop, Morris quickly caught his breath. Those slaps were delivered with full force, so powerful that he wanted to vomit blood, but because a large amount of blood had been drained from his body, he couldn't cough it up.

Morris hurriedly begged for mercy, realizing he had really messed with the wrong person. He had only intended to earn some extra money, but his partner had died instantly... If he could get back alive... he would definitely stay far away from this guy. What a joke, Joe Baker! If he had the strength, he would smash this employer who had cheated him like a clam!

"Spare my life! Sir, no, teacher!"

When a low-ranking wizard faces a wizard with a higher ring number than himself, he often addresses him as "teacher" as a way of expressing respect.

It's inaccurate for Morris to address Gu Chen as "teacher," because he's an intermediate-level expert, while Gu Chen is only a low-level expert...

But isn't this low-level being a bit too ferocious? Is it really low-level?!

Gu Chen paused slightly when he heard the title "teacher," then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't call me 'teacher,' I don't have any students like you."

When Gu Chen slapped him, he had already activated his discerning eye. The data on the panel was very ordinary, which made him have no desire to take him as a student.

[Currently linked students: Jim, Ken.]

[Remaining binding slots: 0]

The slots are already booked. As for how to upgrade my mentor's talent, I haven't figured out a way yet. I certainly can't waste time in front of this ordinary water wizard.

"Okay, okay!"

"Sir! Hans and I were just doing a job for money; we have no grudge against each other!"

"You might take on a job like this someday. This is what the Gray Tower is like. Don't kill me, sir!"

Seeing that Gu Chen was completely unmoved by his flattery, Morris naturally felt flustered.

If you don't accept flattery or praise, then what do you accept?

He didn't know what the other side wanted to eat, but Morris knew that if he didn't beg for mercy, he was probably going to be hit by a spell!

Eating it will lead to death!

He spoke incoherently and trembled all over, while Gu Chen asked:

"That's it? You don't know anything else?"

"Jobeck just wanted you guys to kill me?"

"...This is a difficult situation for me. I have no reason to spare your life."

The atmosphere became oppressive. Morris felt a chill on his neck. The blood wizard in front of him had never let his guard down, and his spells were constantly linked to him!

"...Yes! I remember, I remember there was someone with Joe Beck at the time, and their aura was very mysterious!"

"Wearing a hood, making it impossible to tell if it's male or female, and with a strange emblem on its black robe!"

"But strangely enough, it feels very familiar, yet I can't remember at all what that emblem means!"

Emblem?

The emblem of Antinoya?

Gu Chen manipulated the bloodline, causing it to converge on the ground to form the Antinoya family crest, which was a scale with a drop of blood on each side and a circle of rose thorns adorning the edge.

"It's similar... but... but not quite the same!"

"It seems... I can't remember..."

Morris racked his brains, his expression contorted in rage, while Gu Chen silently moved the magic pathways drawn from the blood closer to his neck.

"I remember now! The emblem vaguely depicts... a lion!"

lion?

The emblem of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorian?

Gu Chen frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"My lord, I can give you all the magic stone fragments I have, just spare my life!"

"My lord, we are merely knives, acting under orders. If you seek revenge, you need not kill me!"

"I just want to earn some magic stone fragments!"

Taking advantage of Gu Chen's silence, Morris hurriedly begged for mercy, even pulling out a magic stone fragment from his robe as he spoke.

"I still have some, right here, right here in my room..."

His words came to an abrupt halt; Maurice's last words remained unspoken as his life, like the blood that had been drawn from him, departed.

"He who kills will be killed by others."

"You kill me, I kill you, there's no point in arguing."
