CALLING MASTER CONJURER STUPID

CALLING MASTER CONJURER STUPID

"Conjurer Ivior, these two conjurers have an argument and started fighting", a conjurer told him.

"How dare you fight in the Conjurer Court, right in front of my Discipline Committee", Conjurer Ivior shouted out to me as he signaled for his men to arrest me without investigating about our fight.

"Ah… you skinny one is from the Discipline Committee? Good, arrest this face beneath my feet", I told Conjurer Ivior to his shock and surprise.

Conjurer Ivior was about to ask his men to continue arresting me before he was stopped by Conjurer Iras.

"Why should the Discipline Committee arrest Mosas?" Conjurer Iras asked me.

"He attacked me with a conjured Hammer out of nowhere. Under the laws of the Conjurer Court, any surprise attack on a conjurer is a crime, even if the perpetrator is a conjurer himself", I told Iras.

"But you attacked him too and he is in a worst condition than you", Ivior said to me.

"Under the laws of the Conjurer Court, it is permissible to retaliate against a surprise attack, even if the surprise attack came from a conjurer", I told him.

"Who saw what happened here?" Conjurer Ivior asked but nobody said a word about what they saw.

"Now, nobody here can vouch for you, I can say you are the one who attacked Mosas first", Ivior said to me.

"You Stupid… I wouldn't accuse a conjurer without good proof. This Mosas' conjured hammer tore my nice and expensive jacket. His magic is still on my jacket, and that is proof enough, even if the blind rats in this room couldn't see it", I told Ivior.

"You…," Ivior shouted to me.

"He is right. Mosas shouldn't have attacked him first. It is natural for him to retaliate in the circumstances", Conjurer Iras told Ivior.

"But Mosas is in a critical condition, he on the other hand, is harmless", Ivior told Iras.

"Ah… about that. Being Stronger is not a crime according to the laws of the Conjurer Court", I replied to Ivior as I walked away from them.

"You…", Ivior shouted to me angrily.

"And… Conjurer Stupid, make sure you arrest this Mosas for attacking a conjurer without cause and make sure he pays for his crime", I said to Ivior who was furious with me now.

However, there was nothing that he could do to me under the laws of the Conjurer Court.

"How dare you call our Master Conjurer Stupid?" a conjurer questioned me.

"Master Conjurer Stupid… see I got your name right. Even your goon called you that, hahaha", I told Conjurer Ivior and the goon and laughed and the whole room laughed with me.

"How dare you?" Ivior said to me.

"Ah… this scene will make a great addition to our daily illustration in my newspaper. Let's call it 'Bully of Starri City bullies Conjurer Stupid'", I said to my bodyguards.

"Bully of Starri City Bullies Conjurer Stupid"

"I don't believe it. You really drew this in your newspaper?" Conjurer Iras asked me as he showed me a column of the Herald Times.

The column was a comic illustration of my fight with Conjurer Mosas and argument with Conjurer Stupid.

"The paper sells well with stories like this. People like to read about how I bully the conjurers", I replied to him.

"You even drew Ivior's face in the comic, he won't be happy", Iras said to me.

"He should be furious with me whether I run this comic or not. At least now I can make some money out of his humiliation", I replied to Iras.

"Ivior is not to be trifled with and he is vengeful. He also controls a large number of conjurers under his sect. You will face problems eventually with his sect", Iras told me.

"Do you think Stupid's sect can intimidate me. I don't think so", I replied to him.

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you. And what is this application of yours to enter the Forbidden Grounds?" Iras asked me.

"Ah that… There is nothing to use the rewards that I gained on my missions, and I found this, my reward can be exchanged for a trip to the Forbidden Grounds. I can have a picnic there with my friends", I told Iras.

"Are you being serious? Do you know what the Forbidden Grounds is? Nobody goes in there alone and comes back alive", Iras told me.

"I won't be going in alone", I replied to him.

"How? The reward is for one person entering only", he asked me.

"I'll have my way", I replied to him.

"What are you doing in the Forbidden Grounds anyway?" Iras asked me.

"I heard there are many treasures left there by conjurers who died there and at the center of the place is a magic constellation. I am curious about such a constellation", I said to him.

"That constellation is a mysterious constellation left to us by the Original Supremes. Even I don't know what that constellation magic is for", Iras told me.

"I'll tell you about it when I return and maybe show you the magic weapon that I found", I replied to him.

"You want the elusive weapon too? Nobody has ever seen it before. It might be a legend. The weapon may not be inside there at all. Will you reconsider this mission?" he asked me.

"Nope", I replied to him.

[A day earlier]

"Erm… Conjurer Oriese, what would you like as your reward for completing one hundred and twelve of our missions?" the manager of the Mission Center asked me with a tinge of fear in his eyes.

After what happened to the apprentice on the first floor who dared to accuse me and what I did to Conjurer Mosas, people in the Mission Center were afraid of me. Very afraid.

"What do you have on offer?" I asked him in return.

"The rewards can be exchanged for Aurs, or magical artifacts, or magical constellation skills", he told me.

"I'm not interested in those. Are there anything else?" I asked him as I walked around 'Rewards and Claims'.

"What is this?" Meera pointed to a scroll in one of the cabinets that displayed the rewards.

I took the scroll and showed it to the manager.
