"You're literally talking with your ass!"
An angry rebuke suddenly rang out, and then various magical lights filled Rogers' temporary dormitory.
The dwarf-looking dean pointed at Idrull and yelled at him, then he put his arm around Rogers’ shoulders and made a promise with a smile:
"Child, don't listen to the nonsense of that old liar. I won't force you to become my disciple. As long as you come to my academy, I guarantee that you can become the chief! Even when the chief rotates next time, I can still nominate you as usual!"
The elegant lady in the moon-white robe used her magic power to pull Rogers to her side, and said with a gentle smile:
“With this child’s ability, he doesn’t even need a promise to become the chief.
"If you come to my academy, not only can you become the headmaster, but even if you don't become my disciple, I will still teach you the magic skills that only formal disciples can learn..."
Then the third, the fourth...
The temporary dormitory was already small, and the arrival of the deans made the space seem even more crowded. Rogers was squeezed in the middle like a puppet, being pulled around by the deans, and couldn't stop listening to their ever-increasing prices.
It was during these words that Rogers gradually understood his own worth, which seemed to be much higher than he had estimated.
At the same time, he also estimated in his mind the conditions offered by all parties, as well as what advantageous resources he could obtain in each college.
Just as the argument among the deans reached a fever pitch and became tense, Rogers pretended to be troubled and pondering, which managed to calm everyone in the room down a little.
Seeing that he finally had the chance to speak, he gathered his thoughts and expressed his ideas.
“Dear distinguished deans, integrity is the lifeblood of a person, the foundation of all values, and the noblest thing I can maintain.
"During the entrance test, I already expressed my intention to join Hilmi College to Professor Idrul. If I choose another college at this time, it will be a breach of trust on my part."
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard such a frank rejection, and then they all glared at Idrul with extremely angry eyes.
Idrul, who was squeezed into a corner with a wry smile on his face, was also stunned. He did not expect that Rogers, who had been hesitant before, could so directly reject so many excellent prices that he could not offer.
"Damn it! I told you not to let Idrul be the guide! This old liar really does such shameless things!"
"Idrul, do you remember what you promised us?! How dare you?!"
"Silly child, I praise you for having such a noble character, but you don't need to keep your promise to Idrul. That was simply his trick to you!"
……
Watching the deans' crusade against Idrul and their persuasion of himself, Rogers smiled without saying a word.
By recalling the plot of the game and weighing the various information he had in reality, Rogers still felt that entering Hilmi Academy would benefit him the most.
Going to other colleges may bring many obvious benefits at the moment, but some adventures are always unique.
For example, Hilmi Academy has a private independent library, which houses a magic book that Alice will get in the dark branch.
This magic item, which can be regarded as an auxiliary artifact in the early stage, will become extremely troublesome if you want to plan it once you enter other colleges.
Especially since he would be facing a duel with Caspar in three days.
For this duel, Rogers did not just want to defeat his opponent, but wanted to beat him with absolute crushing power, and keep beating him until he truly understood what chivalry was.
This will also allow everyone in the same grade to understand what they will encounter when dueling with him.
After all, as a great man once said, one good blow is the best way to prevent a hundred.
The main goal of Rogers in coming to Saint Herte is to improve his own strength. If there are troubles like Kaspar who appear from time to time under the banner of hypocrisy and high-sounding, and are as lingering as taffy, it will be somewhat troublesome for him.
If you want to achieve the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the help of the magic book is indispensable.
No matter how many benefits the deans promised, they did not agree to give him any substantial magic props. This was most likely one of the school's unspoken rules and prohibitions.
In addition to these reasons, Rogers made this choice based on a series of factors, including the college's private special resources.
"Child, do you know why Idrul dared not agree to your request to become the head of the academy?"
The dean in a moon-white robe saw that Rogers had made up his mind, sighed and asked.
"I don't know." Rogers shook his head and answered simply.
Originally he thought that the dean did not have the privilege to designate the chief, but after hearing that other deans except Idrul could make such a confident promise, he became a little confused.
“Because the Saint has chosen to join Hilmi Academy.
"Child, I can say without boasting that you have the qualifications to become a sage, but as of now, you are not yet a sage, while the saint is already a saint.
"In an academy where the Saint exists, it is impossible for another student capable of being elected as the headmaster to appear."
The dean explained.
Upon hearing this, Rogers frowned slightly and looked at Idrul with a questioning look, but saw that the other party showed a helpless and somewhat guilty smile and gave a response that was indeed the case.
How did the plot deviate so much? Is the butterfly effect so far-reaching?
Alice in "Evening Bell Quartet" was directly taught by Vice President Avery. She was a student directly under the school and was not assigned to any college...
Rogers thought to himself, if this was true, then he would have one more reason not to go.
Alice's growth must be absolutely guaranteed. In this world, the only one who can completely defeat the final BOSS is the protagonist who awakens the bloodline of the Saint. This is a truth.
Although for Rogers, having the strength to push the final boss in front of Alice and force her to accept the defeat is the safest way, but before he is sure that all this can be achieved, Alice's growth must not fall behind too much.
I raised her so many times in the game in my previous life, but I didn't expect that I would have to train her in reality after reincarnation.
“I am confident that I can surpass the Saint in knowledge, and as for magic, I also want to test the Saint’s power.
"I believe that Dean Idrul would be happy to let the most capable person be the chief, rather than assigning it according to bloodline, right?"
Rogers calmed down his complicated mentality and asked Idrull with a smile on his face.
"Yes! That's right! Even if I can't beat the Saint, I will definitely get you the treatment second only to the chief!"
Idrul excitedly squeezed in front of Rogers, with tears in his old eyes, as if he had found his long-lost grandson.
"Stop! Professor! You're almost hitting me!"
Rogers stretched out his hands, trying to block the pair of majestic antlers that were rushing towards him because Idrul dived down, and spoke out anxiously to dissuade him.
"Good boy! I admire your integrity! And even more so your courage!" The dwarf-looking dean slapped Rogers' shoulder hard, and the excess force made the latter stagger.
His bearded face was filled with admiration. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately promised, "My name is Kuli! No matter what problems you encounter in the future, as long as I can answer them, you can come to me!"
Although the other deans couldn't help showing regret on their faces, they all expressed appreciation and relief, and said similar words one after another.
Rogers's performance made all the deans feel that he possessed a noble character. As long as they gave him some help, he would definitely not easily forget his kindness.
As long as the child becomes a sage in the future and can include their names in the books and biographies he writes, there will be nothing to regret.
Naturally, Rogers smiled shyly and thanked the deans one by one for their kindness. The reason why he had intentionally dragged Idrul along was for this moment.
Being Idrul's disciple? From the beginning, he had never had such an unambitious idea.
Because he wants them all.
Chapter 25: Shameless Magic Book (Two in One)
The dormitory area of Hilmi College is like a large, carefully designed courtyard, with many independent two-story cabins scattered around.
Each cabin is unique. Some are painted pure white, giving a sense of simplicity and elegance; others use colorful paints and patterns, full of vitality and creativity.
Carrying bedding tied with hemp rope on his back and a canvas bag in his hand, Rogers walked on a winding path made of fine pebbles, following Idrul's footsteps and walking between the wooden houses.
When he arrived at the residential area planned for freshmen, Rogers did not make too many choices and quickly chose a plain-looking wooden house.
"Normally, a cabin should have at least two students living in it, but I grant you the privilege of living alone."
Idrul smiled and stroked his beard. The more he looked at Rogers along the way, the more satisfied he felt. He was constantly thinking about what conveniences he could give to the child that would not cause too much controversy.
"Professor, can we go into the house first?" Rogers suggested, rubbing his sore shoulders.
Although his physical fitness had improved significantly after being promoted to Bronze, it was still not beyond the level of ordinary people. Moreover, he had been walking for nearly two hours carrying the bedding brought from the temporary dormitory.
After making sure that there was no dean who could compete with him for Rogers, Idrul took Rogers for a leisurely walk.
The old professor said that he wanted Rogers to appreciate the scenery of Hilmi and memorize the route, and he even forgot about lunch, which he had cared about so much before.
This made Rogers want to remind him: Be careful not to take in enough nutrition on time, otherwise your physical condition will deteriorate and you will get sick.
"Okay." Idrul nodded and agreed happily.
The door of the wooden house opened automatically as the two approached.
The first floor of the house is a hall for receiving guests. The second floor, which is reached by a wooden ladder on the wall, has a spacious bedroom, study, and the indispensable bathroom.
Finally, Idrul waited for Rogers to enter the bedroom and remove the bedding. After skillfully spreading the bedding, he carefully instructed him on a few details, handed Rogers an identity badge of Hilmi College, and prepared to leave.
When he was about to turn around and leave, Rogers suddenly said something meaningful:
"Professor, I have two friends who are also preparing to take the entrance exam for Hilmi. Their names are Elina Devin and Lufia Augustus. They are both excellent children."
Idrul understood what he said and smiled to reassure him before leaving: "Hilmi Academy welcomes outstanding children the most."
After seeing the old professor off, Rogers turned around and returned to his study.
The furnishings in the room were very simple. Apart from an empty bookshelf, a large desk and a chair woven with vines, there was nothing else.
He laid out the things in the canvas bag one by one, and finally took out the gold-rimmed monocle that Prince Reuel had given him.
He hung the pendant on his ear and put the lens into his left eye. As the magic power slowly poured in, a strange feeling spread in his mind.
It was as if Rogers had opened a 3D surround first-person VR cinema, and everything he had seen and felt in the past could be freely adjusted according to his wishes.
The most amazing thing is that no matter how immersed he is in his memories, it does not affect his vision at all.
However, he did not intend to waste time continuing to study the monocle. Instead, after tidying up his residence, he walked towards the library located in the middle of the dormitory area.
The unique library of Hilmi Academy looks like a towering tree that dozens of people cannot hug together. There is a huge oval hole in the tree, which serves as the door to the library.
When Rogers crossed the tree hole, the badge of Hilmi Academy in his hand trembled slightly, as if something was identifying the identity of the visitor.
The dim light spreads throughout the tree, adding a mysterious and warm atmosphere. The texture of the tree is clearly visible on the surrounding "walls", which has a unique beauty.
Perhaps because it was class time, there were not many people coming in and out of the library.
While using his monocle to play the scene in the Evening Carol Quartet about Alice obtaining the magic book, he walked up the spiral staircase to the sixth floor.
【Notice! Adventure mission released! 】

[Note: The Fallen Grimoire feels very close to your character and destiny, and it is extremely eager to accompany you on a journey to a better future.]

Rogers' face darkened when he saw the prompt box that popped up in front of him. He had just been guessing the approximate location of the magic book based on the fragmentary text, but he didn't expect to find it so easily.
However, the content in this prompt box made him start to wonder whether it was a good idea to come and get this magic book.
[Mission countdown begins]
【01: 00】
【00: 59】
……
"Gan!"
Rogers cursed inwardly. This was the first time he encountered a task with immediate punishment. He quickly walked to the corresponding location, took a quick look, and took down a thick black book.
The cover of the magic book feels like smooth leather, the cover is plain and has no patterns, and it doesn't feel heavy in the hand.
He gently opened the cover of the magic book, revealing the purple pages inside. A faint light was reflected on the pages, like stars in the dark night.
An incomparable sense of intimacy emanates from the book, as if a lost child has finally returned to the arms of his parents.
【Mother! 】
Distorted characters filled with blasphemy suddenly appeared on the pages of the book. Rogers stared at them quietly for two seconds, his expression changing several times, and he slowly exhaled and said, "It's the master..."
【Owner! Owner! 】
The characters on the pages were very obedient and changed their names instantly.
[I want the master's kiss! I want the master's hug! I want the master to pour his magic power into my body! ]
