Chapter 8 Mage School and the Doorman

"But is it allowed to use magic to do business?" Lo asked in confusion.

But he soon thought of the words that Lebel often mentioned, "Magic is just a plaything of the nobility in Gloria."

"Outwardly, only the nobility can master magic. As a matter of course, they can also make use of it for whatever they want." Lebel stopped and patted Lo on the shoulder.

"After getting the power to use magic, the nobility who made a fortune by tailoring immediately used it to control the whole kingdom's tailoring resources. It's a simple and clear monopolizing. It's really ironic."

In the past, Lo had rarely seen such things.

But even an outsider like him could clearly saw the pros and cons.

"So, although you are skilled like Jarvis, you have to be eliminated by kingdom because you have an irreparable disadvantage compared to the new tailors in some aspects?"

"They are eliminated by the market." Lebel corrected a sentence. "That's why I hate magic."

"But I'm going to send you there even though I said that."

Under the mask, Lebel's expression couldn't be seen, but he raised chin.

Without his reminder, Lo had already noticed it.

Mage School, which attracted many people's attention, was right in front of them.

However, it really could be called... school?

Udon Town also had a school.

There were teaching building, canteen, playground and all things would be needed.

As a result, Lo naively believed that the so called "Kingdom Magic School" was, at best, a circle larger than Udon's.

He was wrong.

Absolutely wrong.

A school that gathered all the noble children of kingdom and mastered far more powerful than human power was not impossible just a "school".

Just looking at it from the outside, anyone who saw Mage School for the first time would be shocked.

The passers—by also cast mocking eyes, as if saying, "Ha ha, another bumpkin who has never seen the world."

Yes, it was not like a "school" at all, but like another castle built in the center of kingdom.

"Castle in the city."

This was Lo's first impression of Mage School.

"What do you think? Little Lo, are you shocked? Mage School's main body is even larger than the whole Udon Town!"

It was bigger than the whole Udon Town...

Even though Lo had been prepared, he was still shocked when knew it.

He looked up at the tall tower that reached into the sky and was on par with the the statue of the apocalypse, the floating islands, the magnificent and elegant magic palaces, which were all the scenery that could never be seen elsewhere.

Lo knew that his next journey would be completely different from the last decade.

Suddenly, the eyes of the two stone statues in front of the door lit up, and their heads tilted towards them. A person suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Why did Stephen Baron's family come to visit Mage School? As far as I know, your family has voluntarily given up this year's admission."

The speaker stooped with one hand holding a crutch, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his gray eyebrows fell from the corner of his eyes. He stroked his beard with the other hand and carefully looked at the two people in front of him, Lo and Lebel.

This shocked Lo.

It was known to all that Lebel next to him was a "famous" wanted criminal in kingdom. If the old man in front of them found out something, wouldn't it be...

But Lebel remained calm, even though he only wore the simple wooden mask.

He even introduced the old man to Lo in a low voice.

"Doorman of Mage School, Fax. The seemingly simple wooden stick in his hand was actually his purple wood mace. He is the most experienced mage in purple robe in the school, but in other words, he has been stuck at this stage for a long time."

Hearing what Lebel said totally, Fax's face twitched, and his expression suddenly became worse.

"Answer my question! Why? Otherwise, I would use force! Mage School is not a place you can do whatever you want."

"Ha ha, all right. I'm not kidding you." There were a few easy laughter coming from under the mask, as if Lebel didn't take the old man in front of him seriously at all. Lebel pointed at Lo beside him.

"This kid would shock your whole school in the near future. If you are sensible, get out of the way."

Fax didn't know how to answer the abrupt words at the moment.

He was so angry that he laughed. He glanced disdainfully at the tall, slim, brown—skinned child beside him. Lo was wearing the simplest shirt and shorts made of cloth, which was like a bumpkin.

Even though Lebel wore the Stephen Family's medal on chest, it didn't match his temperament at all.

Fax's eyes became sharp. He thought the two people in front of him were just making fun of him.

"If I don't get it wrong, do you want this bumpkin to enter Mage School? Becoming a student? Well, I admit that it's really funny, but I'm in a bad mood now and can't laugh!"

He gritted his teeth and said the last few words, which made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

But Lebel was such a person who no matter what the atmosphere around him was, he could always keep his pace.

He shrugged and mumbled, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not."

Then, he took out a brown envelope from his pocket, skimmed it with his fingertips, and it flew to the front of Fax.

"This is Stephen Baron's letter. Have a good look."

Fax frowned, he took the envelope, opened it and read it carefully.

Soon, his expression changed.

If he was just a family badge nobody wearing, of course he had the right to shut the door of the two.

But the masked man in front of him brought baron's letter.

Whether it was the handwriting or the magic mark, it was undoubtedly Stephen Baron.

The letter, written in person, clearly said that the two of them went to Mage School on behalf of the Stephen family to discuss the admission matters.

It was the smallest title, but there was dignity.

There was no reason to stop them anymore.

"Well, okay, you two come in, please." Fax made a slight bow. It was more accurate to say that he bowed to the letter written bybaron than to the strange group in front of him.

The light in the eyes of the stone statues on both sides extinguished, and their heads returned to their original positions. The door of Mage School opened.

"Do you two need me to show you the way?" Fax asked, making a "please" gesture.

Lo stood aside and watched the big change of Fax's attitude.

He thought it was just a letter. Was it really so magical?

And who was the so called Stephen Baron? Why were you always on my and Lebel's side?

When he was confused, he saw Lebel walked in and waved his hand to Fax, "No, I may be more familiar with this place than you. You don't need to lead the way."

At that time, Fax didn't think carefully about the meaning behind this sentence, nor did he feel strange. He watched the two enter the door, and constantly wondered what the identities of these two people were.

The mysterious man in the mask insisted on hiding his identity and brought a personal letter.

Suddenly, a strange guess appeared in the bottom of Fax's heart.

Was he baron?

As soon as the self—righteous idea appeared, Fax suddenly felt enlightened. He turned his head and looked at the two people, who had already disappeared.
