Chapter 144 A bet

Elder Han gazed at Kyle. He could see the latter had trained a lot because Kyle's body was filled with sweat.

"I am leaving the Kingdom after six months to attend to some important matters and I think I will only come back after two years. As your master, I should teach you something but your weapon is a sword and I am not well versed in sword."

He said and paced around in front of Kyle. He wasn't a warrior that's why he never used any weapon. He was a mage who learned about Arrays and potions his whole life. After thinking for a while, Elder Han stopped and seriously looked at him.

"Do you want to learn about Arrays? Or how to make potions."

"It's very hard but if you pick one I think within six months you can learn the basics."

At first, Kyle didn't pay much attention but when he heard about 'Arrays' his eyes lit up.

He found four ancient books about Arrays in the Tower but because he knew nothing about Arrays, the books were just rooting inside his storage ring.

He wanted to give the books to his master as they were practically useless to him but if he could learn about Arrays there was no need to give the books to anyone else.

"Master I want to learn about Arrays!"

Elder Han raised his brow. He thought Kyle would want to learn about potions because learning about Arrays was hard. On the other hand, potions were quite useful in battles and always high in demand.

The only thing he didn't know was that Kyle had already regarded him as his personal potion maker! Whenever Kyle want a potion he could ask the old man directly why would he need to go through the long process of making one himself.

With a nod, Elder Han gazed at Kyle.

"Okay, I can teach you about arrays but you have an exam next week. How about we start after your exam?"

Kyle immediately shook his head. He could deal with the exam because his learning speed wasn't bad but the old man was only here for six months. That's why he didn't want to waste even a single second.

"No Master, I am free that's why I think we should start now."

Elder Han raised his brow.

"Okay but don't blame me if you failed your theoretical exam."

A vein bulged out on Kyle's forehead as he remembered the things that happened in the morning.

'Just why the hell does everyone think I will fail the exam? Can't they believe in me and say something good about me?'

Elder Han chuckled when he saw Kyle's expression. He asked Kyle to meet him in front of the library after changing his damp clothes.

Kyle nodded and after picking up Bia he left the training ground.

Elder Han gazed at his fading image and sighed.

"It's good according to the Academy records his talent is only (B)-Rank. I didn't want my first disciple to go and die inside an ancient Realm."

"Even if he performed well in the upcoming Academies tournament. The Principal won't select him because only those who have talent above (S-)-Rank will be selected to enter the Realm."

He didn't know if this was a blessing or not but it was better if Kyle didn't enter that Realm because last time more than 80 percent of individuals who entered the Realm died.

Elder Han used an artifact to know Kyle's talent. His actual talent was (SS)-Rank! Kyle could achieve a lot even if he didn't endanger his life.

On the other hand, Kyle left the training ground and hurriedly walked toward the boy's dorm. He gazed at the dark clouds surrounding the moon.

After walking for a while, he arrived his front of his room. A familiar brown-haired figure was standing in front of his room.

Kyle gazed at Nine and the latter immediately approached him with a smile.

Nine forehead was sweaty. He just hoped Kyle wouldn't throw a punch at his face directly.

"Brother. I am sorry. You know I was only joking when I said you would fail the exam!"

"Oh? So you were joking?"

Kyle raised his brow.

"Yes yes. I was 100 percent joking. You will take the last spot but you will never fail!"

"You.."

Kyle wanted to throw a punch at him but sighed with a smile. He placed his arm on Nine neck with a smirk.

"Wanna bet."

Nine almost panicked seeing Kyle's approaching arm but sighed with relief when the latter didn't break his teeth.

"Bet on what?"

He said with a similar smirk. Kyle tightened his grip on Nine neck.

"I won't get the last spot in the theoretical exam."

Nine gazed at Kyle with innocent eyes.

Are you kidding me? If you, who was not even present in the Academy for the past few days didn't take the last spot then no one will take it!

He wanted to say these exact words but stopped himself because his teeth were more precious than the truth.

"Bro, what do you want to bet on?"

He said with a brilliant smile. Anyway, he was already the winner of this bet so there was no loss in making one.

Kyle's smile widened as he showed his five fingers.

"Huh? Five what?"

Nine gazed at his figure with confusion.

"Fifty thousand mana stones."

Nine almost freaked out and instantly stepped back. He looked at Kyl with wide eyes.

Fifty thousand mana stones! Kyle was just giving him so many free mana stones?

'Well, we did acquire a lot of mana stones from the Tower. I have 80,000 something. It's not a bad deal If I got 50,000 more hehehe.'

Nine thought inwardly and an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, bro. The bet is on!"

Kyle looked at him with an 'Oh'. After thinking for a while, he tapped on Nine's shoulder.

"I think you should tell the others about this bet as well. I will accept any amount of mana stones they want to bet on."

Nine eyes widened. Kyle wanted to give away his mana stones to everyone else! Such a good person! With a deep breath, he nodded.

"Don't worry brother. I will complete this mission you assigned to me!"

He said with a serious expression but inwardly he was laughing menacingly. Within a second, Nine left to share such amazing news.

Kyle gazed at his fading back with a smirk. Bia who was sitting on top of his head shook her head with pity.

-'You are too evil Kyle. How can you loot your friends!'

"Well, he started it. I am just giving him the taste of his own medicine."

An evil smile appeared on his face as he stepped inside his room.

On the other hand, a shiver ran down Nine spine as he was walking toward Alec and Carcel's rooms.

He stopped in his tracks and gazed back at Kyle's room.

"I am having a bad feeling. Sigh, I can't even use my ability to check if he going to take the last place. it's too random."

"Anyway, I am one hundred percent sure he will take the last spot hehe!"

With a snicker, Nine hurriedly started walking toward Alec's room to ask him to enter the bet!
