As Expected of a Protagonist
"Master, there's new from Kena city. They have found a suspected protagonist there and are keeping watch" in the castle Su Mo soon receive news.
At the same time Billy left the alley and walk towards a certain direction the the city. Those Dark Web watcher was very careful and didn't follow all the time and constantly switch between person to person to not be found out.
Billy was in a good mood, although he had just killed two people he didn't show any discomfort.
As a traverser, he was the chosen protagonist. In his opinion everyone else in this world was nothing but NPCs that will only be a stepping stone to his rise to power. Sooner or later he will become the strongest protagonist.
Billy quickly came to the center of the city where lies many group of magnificent building, Here is the magic academy.
The world of gods have very well develop magic schools. Becoming a magician is the best way for commoners children to change their lives since it's too difficult to become a noble. As long as you have decent magic talent and become a full fledge magician, you can even surpass ordinary nobles in terms of status.
In this magic academy, Billy was just a low level magic apprentice but with the arrival of the confrontation of protagonist and villain, he became a protagonist with a gold finger.
In less then a day, he relied on his Gold finger to go from a low level magic apprentice to an official magician in one fell swoop.
"If I spend the gold coins I got today, my magic level should rise a few more and maybe enter the next rank" Billy thought happily, a moment later he noticed something and quickly enter the magic academy.
[System warning : there is a villain near you]
"Phew~ good thing I'm a student at magic academy, he should not dare to touch me and only wait outside" Billy looked at the system panel and was a little frighten.
..
"Damn it, this guy's actually a student of the magic academy. How troublesome" Not far away, a man in noble clothing looked at Billy who went in the academy with a sour expression
He finally found a protagonist but he is a student in the magic academy. Killing him inside the magic academy is not easy. This is the holy moon magic academy that's rank third in the whole new moon kingdom.
"I don't believe that you will never come out. Sent someone to contact the lancet organization and see if we can hire a powerful assassin" The villain ordered.
…
Billy entered the academy and returned to his residence.
"The villain has their eyes on me. Anyway, I am a student of the magic academy, even if they come in they don't dare to kill me"
"First, spend the gold coins I've earned today and improve my magic talent then surfing the test, I can attract the attention of the academy teachers and the headmaster and they will consider me a genius" Billy came up with a plan.
His gold finger is not the same as Lu Bi who has a grandpa ring, Billy's gold finger is krypton gold system. As long as he spends gold coins, he can become stronger, that's why Billy's growth is on the faster side.
Of course Billy's krypton gold system is not high level and has many restriction. He can't use gold coins it to upgrade his system as they only cost protagonist point but with each upgrade his system restriction can be lifted.
When Billy's found out he is targeted by a villain he decided to change his plan, he decided to show off his talent so the academy can cultivate him as a genius.
As long as he get enough attention on him, the villains won't dare to kill him if they don't want it to backfire on them.
"Still I gotta be careful, they will probably try to use an assassin or helper to kill me" Billy's mood changed again.
..
"Master, it has been confirm that this person is a magic apprentice from the holy moon magic academy. It seems that another force is also eyeing him and our people guess that he will probably not come out of the academy anytime soon." In the castle, Nancy reported.
"Master, the holy moon magic academy has a legendary mage behind it and there is also the temple knights of Holy See station not far away. It's not easy to take action without drawing attention to us" Nancy continue.
"Holy moon magic academy…" Su Mo said lightly then he took out a paper and wrote on it before he stoped and the letter burned to ash.
..
In the holy moon magic academy.
In the magic tower, an extremely beautiful woman who looked around twenty four and five years old was meditating.
At this moment, a fire appeared in front of hear and manifest into a letter. The beautiful woman's opened her eyes, originally, she didn't care about the letter until she saw the insignia on the magic letter and A bright smile plastered on her face
"He wrote me a letter" The beautiful woman smiled happily like a child. She couldn't wait to open this letter.
"A student name Billy…" after reading the letter the woman pondered then stood up and would out the door.
"Dolly, go and check if there's a magic apprentice name Billy in the academy" she said.
"Yes My lady" another beautiful woman replied. Soon she came back with the report.
"My lady, there is indeed a magic apprentice named Billy. He has just completed the magic level and talent test. According to the test results, Billy is already a first order mage and has a very high magic talent " Dolly reported.
"First order mage…how long has Billy joined the academy?" The woman asked.
"My lady, it took him three months to become a magic apprentice five months ago" Dolly replied.
"Alright, you go and inform Billy that I want to accept him as my disciple and bring him over" the woman said.
"Yes my lady" Dolly bowed slightly and left.
"First order mage…it should be the person he is looking for. I should solve this person and pay him a visit, it's been a long time after all…" After Dolly left, the woman mumbled and a smile appear on her face with a little resentment.
..
"What? Deputy dean Melina wants to accept me as a disciple?" Billy who heard the news was overjoyed. He never thought after showing his strength and talent the Deputy dean Melina would actually accept him as a disciple.
Although he has only been here for a day, he is very familiar with the Melina's name. She is the deputy dean of the holy moon magic academy, a powerful forbidden magician only one step away from becoming a legend.
The most important thing about her is her well known beauty that many man fawn over, countless nobles and magician alike wants to court her but now the other party actually want him to be her disciple!
"Haha, as expected of being a protagonist" Billy counted help feeling happy.
…
"This is the magic tower of deputy dean Melina, right?"
In front of the beautiful magic tower, Billy looked up in amazement. Jin in the vicinity of the magic tower, he can fell the extremely rich magic energy. It is not difficult to imagine how concentrated the magic energy is once you enter the tower.
"Look, that's Billy. I heard he's become a first order mage in two month and now the Vice President wants him a disciple!"
"It's amazing, Deputy dean has never accepted a disciple before"
"I feel depress, Billy pursued me a month ago, unfortunately I didn't agree"
On the square of the magic tower, there were a lot of onlooker talking with one another.
When they heard that deputy Melina was going to accept an disciple they all came over to watch. Being surrounded by a crowd of people looking at him with admiration and envy, Billy felt like he was in heaven.
The taste of being a protagonist is very addicting since no matter what you will shine and be admired. Once he becomes a powerful mage these villains will feel his wrath.
As Billy suppressed his excitement, he walked inside the tower. At the same time he saw a few people sneaking around in the crowd of students.
Although these people were careful, Billy can see at a glance that these people work for a villain.
"Once I've hug Melina's thigh, it will be you who will flee" Billy snorted lightly and ignore them as he kept walking.
A forbidden mage that's one step away from becoming a legend, even a duke would have to be polite and once Melina becomes a Legendary mage her status in the new moon kingdom would be even higher.
At that time, if the villains in the new moon king wants to deal with him, they would have to take a legendary mage into account else they're courting death.
They would on,y move in the dark but as long as Billy doesn't leave the holy moon magic academy, those villains won't be able to touch him. After all the holy moon magic academy has a legendary mage.
Not far away there were temple knights from the Holy See so no one would dare to make trouble.p, that's why Billy was confident. As long as he is safe, with his krypton gold system, his rise is a matter of time.
"Billy right? My lady is waiting for you in the parlor on the second floor" After entering the tower, Dolly receive him.
"Okay, thank you" Billy was a little excited, after thanking Dolly, he made his way up the tower.
The magic tower has many floors. The first floor is where Su dries and servants live. The second floor is for meeting guest. The first three layers is for everyone and above that is Melina private floors, except for Dolly no one is allowed to enter.
Knowing that he was about to meet the deputy Melina, Billy was quite excited even if he was a "protagonist".
As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw a very beautiful woman sitting on the sofa in the middle of the beautifully decorated living room.
Seeing such a beautiful woman, Billy was instantly stunned, completely attracted by her. She was Simply too beautiful, he had never seen such a beautiful, temperamental woman before.
In his old world, those so called celebrities, if they are scaled at 100 then They're not even half as beautiful as this woman. So this is the legendary Melina?
'I'm a protagonist and woman are just an objects of conquest for me!' Billy stoped staring and lowered his head but in his heart, Melina was a woman he will sooner or later conquer.
He can imagine that in the future, with his system, Melina will be shocked by him one after another before she falls for him. Thinking of the picture in his head, Billy couldn't help but become excited.
"Am I pretty?" He was brought out of his though by Melina's voice that would make a man's heart skip a beat,
'Even her voice is so nice!' Billy became even more excited and nodded
"Presumptuous! How dare you stain the the dean with your evil thought!" Immediately afterwards, a magician wearing a white magic robe suddenly appeared and with a wave of his hand a glowing rope surrounded Billy's body.
Being tied up by the glowing rope, Billy immediately felt like his magic was locked and he couldn't move. The mage hands move again and Billy was hanged upside down.
Everything happen so fast, Billy couldn't understand what just happened.
"D-dean! I'm wronged, I-I didn't!…" With his instinct to survive, Billy immediately start to beg. Another mage came out and with a few movement from his hand a magic array appeared in his hand.
[This woman is too beautiful! But sooner or later she will be my woman. When I become a legendary mage, I will conquer her!]
A voice sounded from the magic array, hearing this voice, Billy face changed greatly from begging to despair because this was the things he thought in his mind.
His thought was actually overheard and recorded by this mage. Billy panicked and wanted to speak but the other party didn't give him a chance.
With a silent magic spell, No sound came out of Billy even as he was shouting.
"My lady, what should I do with this person?" After the mage cast the silent spell, he asked Melina for instructions.
"Leave him to me, and announce that he is execution " Melina faintly said.
"Yes!" The two mage bowed respectfully and left. Seeing the two mage leaving, Billy who was still hanging struggled to unbind the rope with no avail.
Billy was still had a glimmer of hope because of his magic talent however, Melina didn't even look at him. She took out a bag and covered him before putting him in a storage bag before flying towards the direction of Su MO's territory.
Inside the bag Billy was depressed and felt like crying. Although he has the krypton gold system he has used up all his money on his strength and talent so he count purchase anything. But even if he did, he doubt he could buy anything useful in this situation with little money.
Seeing how there was no way to escape, Billy's heart sank. Within seconds he life went from ready to fly to heaven but instead he fell to hell.
…
In the holy moon magic academy.
News spread everywhere. Billy was arrogant because of his magic talent, disrespected the deputy dean with blasphemous thoughts which angered deputy dean Melina.
Afterwards word got out he was executed by the law enforcement team of the academy. The whole academy was in frenzy and everywhere the students talk about this incident.
"He deserve it, does he think he can do whatever he want just because he has good magic talent?"
"Right? This Billy is too arrogant fool who has no eyes"
The students did not feel sorry for him but instead gloated, after all this is the world where the strong prey on the weak. If you have big ambition with no power then your courting death.
…
"Master, there's news from Kena city. The protagonist was killed by the law enforcement them in holy moon academy…" in the castle, Nancy reported.
After Su Mo listen he gave a faint "Um"
Even though Nancy was bought from the abyss to the human world by Su Mo, she doesn't know the relationship between him and Melina.
The news told Su Mo that Melina has already finish dealing with the protagonist. With how well he knows Melina, he estimated she'll be here in half a day.
Indeed, half a day later in Su MO's territory, a magic ship sailed appeared in the distance. Su Mo was quickly notified.
In the sky, the Air knights squadron belonging to Su Mo escorted the magic ship all the way to Su MO's castle. Soon, the flying ship stoped in an empty field in the upper part of the castle with Su Mo already waiting there.
The door of the ship opened revealing Melina in a beautiful dress, anyone could tell she had dressed up very delicately. After seeing Su Mo, she lost the coldness that was ever present and ran straight over and fell into Su MO's arms under Nancy's surprised eyes.
