Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Lanise smiled back.

Chapter 75: Shocked Kenneth for a Whole Year

Clock Tower, Mineral Lord Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald was already a well-known genius in the magic world when he was a teenager. At the same time, his family is also a long-standing upper-class family even among all the magic families today.

With his abundant resources and high talent, Kenneth became the Lord of the Clock Tower in his twenties, and managed the Minerals Department (Kishia). He is in the same camp of magic aristocracy as the Barthelmero, Euripides, Animusphia and other families.

Similarly, when Xia Yuan became Kenneth's disciple, he was naturally assigned to this camp.

In fact, even if Xia Yuan is now a member of the El-Melloi family, it makes no difference. The relationship between magicians is deeper than he expected.

After all, the path to the origin depends on the continuous inheritance among magicians.

"Long time no see, Xia Yuan. It's a happy thing to see that you are safe and sound." Kenneth spoke first when he saw Xia Yuan appear in front of him again after three months.

"That night when I saw you pry open the hole of the Holy Grail with the jeweled sword and disappear completely, I thought you were dead. But fortunately, like Waver, the poor student, you were resurrected by the power of the Holy Grail."

Kenneth didn't know the real reason why Xia Yuan was resurrected, he just attributed it to the miracle performed by the Holy Grail. In his opinion, the Holy Grail resurrected many people that night, so it was normal for Xia Yuan to be resurrected.

"You did a great job this time. Your courage and talent have been proven. You make me proud, my disciple."

Kenneth patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder and expressed his praise generously.

At the end of the Holy Grail War, both Xia Yuan's courage to risk his life to rush into the hole of the Holy Grail on his behalf and the ending he changed were worthy of praise.

It is no exaggeration to say that he single-handedly avoided the huge crisis of secret leakage and turmoil in the magic world.

Although no one except the heroic spirits present that day and himself knew about his bravery, in his opinion, Xia Yuan was fully worthy of this level of praise.

After experiencing the Holy Grail War together, Kenneth became more and more satisfied with his new disciple.

Isn't this much better than that El-Melloi II?

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kenneth. I didn't do anything remarkable. Even if I hadn't done what I did that day, you would have done better."

Facing Kenneth's praise, Xia Yuan just kept smiling and remained humble. He did not feel complacent because of his own changes and other people's praise.

Even though he is a magician, he is still just a novice on the endless road of magic after a few months of quick learning. Adhering to the attitude of "the first to achieve", Kenneth has a wealth of knowledge in magic and is still the best teacher for him.

"..."

Kenneth did not respond to Xia Yuan's words.

Because he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to do better than what happened that day.

Just like the wish you made.

Giving up the omnipotent wish-making machine that is within reach and choosing to resurrect all the dead can even be described as stupid, but the courage and awareness hidden behind it are equally immeasurable.

Noble or stupid? He didn't know, but Kenneth didn't ask for the answer.

According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, Xia Yuan was the final winner of the Holy Grail War, and how the Holy Grail was used was up to him.

"Let's get back to the topic, Mr. Kenneth. Thank you very much for inviting me to study in the Clock Tower."

"Humph, this little thing doesn't explain anything. You have to remember that you are now a disciple of Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, and you are also a mage noble who bears the name of the El-Melloi family. It is natural for you to come to the Clock Tower to study."

"Besides..." Kenneth snorted, looked at him seriously and continued.

"Xia Yuan, you have a very high talent for magic. With the long-standing magic seals passed down by the Matou family, as a first-generation magician, your future is limitless. Such a talented person in the way of magic must not be wasted in a poor country like the Far East. In the next period of time, I will train you well and fully stimulate your talent."

"My teaching is very strict, kid, so be prepared."

Just as Kenneth said, Xia Yuan's magical aptitude and talent were in no way inferior to those of the heirs of magic families that had been passed down for more than five generations.

Moreover, Xia Yuan had reached this level as a first-generation magician. As long as his bloodline continued to be passed down, it was hard to imagine what level he could reach in the future.

Faced with this situation, he must not let go easily, both for his love for talent and for the development of the El-Melloi family.

So he decided to bring Xia Yuan to the Clock Tower for further study, tie him to his side and slowly train him, trap him with the relationship between master and apprentice, and slowly absorb his talents into the El-Melloi School. And absorb his blood into the family, thus opening up an excellent tributary and making the family more prosperous.

However, he did not propose it directly, because it needs to be a natural process. Forcing it blindly will only backfire. Besides, Xia Yuan has saved his life, so guiding him slowly is the best way.

"Come on, I've asked Lanis to help you arrange everything you need for school. You just need to go to my office to find her."

"Next, I will take you to the Human Resources Department to process the Clock Tower's admission file. Come with me."

Why let Lanis do it instead of Weber who is more familiar with the process? Everyone knows the reason.

Kenneth wanted to let them have more contact so as to bring Lanis and Xia Yuan together and absorb Xia Yuan into the family one day.

Another reason was that Weber Wilster was still busy with the extra topics that Kenneth had assigned to him and the materials that needed to be purchased.

Since the end of the Holy Grail War, Kenneth's opinion of Waver has changed a bit.

After personal contact and observation, he had to admit that this fool whom he once didn't take seriously did have some special talents.

So he gave Waver a test. As long as he could pass the test, he would recognize this idiot and let him join the El-Melloi School, giving him the opportunity to prove his rubbish thesis.

The result was that Weber did not disappoint him in these three months and completed every test he gave him accurately, making him realize that this kid did have extraordinary talent in academics.

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of everything, Weber became an assistant teacher in the El-Melloi classroom under Kenneth's special promotion to share his work and prove his ability to himself.

From then on, Kenneth's work became much easier, while Weber was on the road to death from overwork and never returned, and began his nights of suffering.

Not only did he share 40% of Kenneth's academic tasks every day, but he also had to face Kenneth's review at all times. This kind of life would only end when he could completely take over Kenneth's academic research, that is, when he inherited the El-Melloi classroom and was completely recognized by Kenneth.

It can be said that the road ahead is long and arduous, or even endless.

But it is by no means impossible. Compared to the past, at least there is hope and a chance to prove myself.

In order to live up to expectations and seize this rare opportunity, Weber Wilster buried his head and continued to work hard.

"By the way, Mr. Kenneth, does the Clock Tower also have holidays?"

Kenneth replied, "Since it's a school, of course there will be."

"Is today a holiday?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?"

Xia Yuan glanced around. In the huge school, there was still no sign of any students, whether in the square or in the corridor.

"Because I haven't seen any students moving around since I entered the clock tower. Even if there are classes, it's impossible for all students to attend at the same time. This is very abnormal, isn't it?"

"You have a keen eye for observation. It seems that you have also noticed something is wrong. But it is indeed as you said. Usually there are teachers and students who greet me here, but today I didn't see anyone."

Kenneth glanced at the empty corridor and courtyard and said with a hint of confusion.

"But I checked along the way, and the patrolling familiars and defensive barriers of the clock tower are still functioning normally. There are no signs of damage or modification. This is really strange."

"What happened?"

Kenneth looked around in confusion, also puzzled. This was the first time he had seen such a strange situation.

buzz-

At the same time, a colored gem hanging on Xia Yuan's neck began to vibrate slightly and emit a crystal light. He roughly knew what was going on with this strange feeling.

"Oh... maybe that person has come looking for me." Xia Yuan sighed slightly, then glanced at Kenneth.

"what happened?"

Kenneth looked at Xia Yuan strangely as he suddenly stopped.

"No, it's nothing, but I'll trouble you later, Mr. Kenneth."

"What's the trouble?" Kenneth didn't understand what he was talking about.

Xia Yuan didn't explain much, but just followed Kenneth into the clock tower headquarters.

The moment the two entered the door, the dense crowd and the quiet atmosphere around them made Kenneth's face suddenly freeze.

Because he saw that there were several monarchs standing in front of them, the monarchs of the animal department, celestial department, creation department, and even his father-in-law, the monarch of the spirit department, appeared here and stood in a row.

When the few people saw Kenneth and Xia Yuan walk in, they didn't say much. They still stood there and served seriously beside a tall and strong old man in front of them.

Following their gaze, Kenneth immediately understood what was going on with this strange situation.

He was equally astonished that the second magician who had always been elusive, the pinnacle of magic, the Grand Marshal of Magic, the Jewel Master - Kishua Zelrich Schubin-aogu, had actually come to the clock tower in person and entered the clock tower openly.

No wonder it's unusually quiet today.

Who dares to walk around freely when the Second Magician is here? All the students today were dispersed in advance by the monarchs, and only the Clock Tower executives or the monarchs could stay on the scene.

Even they did not dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of the Second Magician. It could even be said that they did not dare to even breathe, just like students facing a serious teacher.

Similarly, a cold sweat broke out on Kenneth's forehead. He was more panicked than other monarchs.

The things that happened some time ago made him respect and fear Bao Shi Weng.

In awe of his endless power and attainments in magic, they feared that Gem Master would come to correct history, for they should have died.

Xia Yuan had already told him that the jeweled sword exploded when it collided head-on with the hole in the Holy Grail, which made him feel even colder.

Now it was difficult to return the jewel sword that had been lent to him, and he was worried that the jewel master would come after him. The value of the sword was so great that he could never afford to pay for it even if he sold everything he had.

"Hello……"

Seeing the figure of the Jewel Gundam walking towards him, Kenneth spoke nervously and became unsound.

Unexpectedly, Bao Shi Weng ignored Kenneth's inner struggle, just looked down at him, then walked to Xia Yuan as if nothing had happened, stretched out his hand and asked.

"Boy, where is my magic costume?"

As expected...are you here to settle the score?

Kenneth became even more nervous.

"I'm sorry, Second Magician. Your sword has exploded. It's in pieces. I gave away some of the remaining fragments. Only this core is left."

Xia Yuan sighed inwardly, raised his hand to take off the jewel necklace hanging around his neck, and handed it to Bao Shi Weng.

"It's broken..." Bao Shi Weng blew his beard and stared at him unkindly: "Humph, kid, how are you going to compensate me?"

"I'm sorry, Senior Bao Shi Weng. I don't have anything I can give you to compensate you."

Xia Yuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not intimidated by Bao Shi Weng's aura.

"So, you're not going to compensate me?"

"No, it's not. I just can't compensate you. If there is anything I can do to make up for it, just ask."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Bao Shi Weng's eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"That would be best. Then I'll think about how I can make it up to you."

It was obvious that what he was waiting for was Xia Yuan's words.

What exactly is going on?

Kenneth's face twitched as he watched Xia Yuan talking to Bao Shi Weng, an exchange that could be said to be of equal status.

He knew that Zelrich came here to ask for the magic gift set.

Xia Yuan had already reported to him over the phone about the shattering of the gem sword, and most of it had been swept up in the magical turbulence of the Holy Grail explosion and could not be found.

Although he was furious when he heard this, he knew that there was nothing he could do. The collision of the two streams of magic power in the narrow gap was not something Xia Yuan could control. The power that erupted when the third and second methods collided was simply unimaginable. Originally, he planned to wait for Bao Shi Weng to come to his door, and then apologize in person.

But why did Bao Shi Weng go directly past him and find Xia Yuan, and why could the two of them communicate at the same level?

It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Kenneth was not the only one who was shocked. The monarchs around him also had similarly good expressions.

They were shocked at the identity of the young man that Kenneth brought with him, and how he was so familiar with Lord Zelrich.

The way they get along is like that of younger and older generations, without any barriers or differences in status.

"How about this, if you help me do five things, I'll write off the fact that you broke the jewel sword.

I will also give you some extra compensation, how about this condition? "

Xia Yuan looked at the five fingers that Bao Shi Weng stretched out in front of him, shook his head slightly, then raised two fingers and answered.

"Too much to do two things."

"Oh, you wish for it, little brat."

Bao Shi Weng sneered, and his fingers turned into four, "Four things, no room for bargaining."

"Two things. Take it or leave it. Otherwise, I won't return it. Be careful or I'll just run away with the bucket."

"Four things. I still insist on this condition. Even if you run in there, I can catch you out."

"Then there's one thing. If you have the ability, go in and catch her. Don't forget who else is inside. See which side she'll stand on."
