Chapter 6: Camet’s White Lie

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After dinner, Lorne decided to visit the classroom.

Ever since he learned Magic Shield, he had not been to the classroom for a day.

Although no one was rushing him, he still decided to listen to class.

Because when he’d gone to find Mage Camet earlier, he’d found him not in his office.

Lorne came to the classroom. As it was evening self-study, many people were meditating.

They were waiting for their teacher to arrive so that they could ask some questions about magic.

Lorne’s arrival obviously caught their attention. After all, it had been a long time since he’d been in class.

A man who had been meditating opened his eyes. He walked over to Lorne and said softly, “Lorne, come out with me.”

Lorne was very puzzled but he still followed the man out. In his impression, the man’s name was Haru.

He was already very popular in class. He did not know why he was looking for him.

“Lorne, you haven’t been in class in days. Maybe you don’t know it yet. I’m the class monitor now.”

Seeing the puzzled look on Lorne’s face, Haru explained. Then his expression turned serious as he asked,

“Why haven’t you been in the classroom for the past few days? Teacher asked me to ask you if you still want to learn magic?”

Haru cupped his fists and looked at the person in front of him. Lorne felt that he hated people who came to the Magic Academy to slack off.

Magic was difficult to learn to begin with and with some slackers, it would tarnish the reputation of mages.

In the face of Haru’s questioning, Lorne shook his head. “I’ve been learning magic from Master Camet, so I didn’t come today.”

Haru laughed at Lorne’s words. “Don’t be ridiculous. You’re learning magic from Master Camet?”

“Even if you’re lying, can’t you find a more normal reason than to learn from Master Camet? Do you think you’re good enough?”

Lorne did not take Haru’s mockery seriously.

“Believe it or not, is there a need for me to explain it to you?”

Hearing Lorne’s answer, Haru was furious. He pushed Lorne away with his hand.

And this scene happened to be seen by Master Camet who had just arrived.

Lorne did not use magic to defend himself because he knew that if he used Magic Shields, he would be punished by the academy.

Camet, who had come to find Lorne, naturally saw everything that had happened. When he saw Lorne injuring himself in order not to break the rules,

His opinion of Lorne went up another notch.

This child was really not bad. He knew how to use rules to restrict his strength. If a genius knew that he was very strong.

They wouldn’t swallow their anger like that. They would usually fight back because they felt that they were geniuses and the others were ordinary people.

However, the Allison Institute clearly didn’t like such people.

For such a person, Camet would teach him a lesson over and over again.

Finally, he discovered a way to treat this.

It was Camet who personally fought with this group of geniuses.

He wanted them to know what it felt like for the strong to bully the weak. He also wanted them to understand that the strong should protect the weak and not bully the weak.

If you do that then you are also a weakling. You are using someone weaker than you to display your strength.

“Stop!” In the end, Camet still attacked.

He could not bear to see such a sensible genius hurt by others and used his classroom privileges to protect the injured Lorne.

When he heard this voice, Haru, who was still confused, saw a person standing in front of him.

He reacted instantly. “Master, I—” he explained to Master Camet.

“There’s no need to explain. I saw everything that happened just now.”

Before Haru could continue, Camet cut him off.

“That’s not true, Master Camet. Lorne used your reputation to fool the teacher. I was in such a hurry that I—”

Camet ignored Haru’s words. He helped Lorne to his feet.

“Lorne, are you all right?” He said with concern.

“I’m fine, Master Camet.” Lorne rose from the floor.

Just now, when he fell to the ground, he felt something soft under his butt and slowly went down.

It seemed that Master Camet had made his move.

Master Kamit looked at Haru beside him and scolded,

“In the Magic Academy, unless it’s to protect yourself, you can’t use force or magic. Don’t you know that?”

“I know, but—”

“If you knew, why did you still do it? Also, what Lorne said just now was right. He’s been learning from me for the past few days. Go tell your teacher about this. He’s learning from me now.”

Because Haru had made a mistake, he did not dare to say much. After all, he was the one at fault first.

And how could Lorne be so lucky to have caught the eye of Master Camet?

Haru’s eyes were filled with jealousy but Lorne had ignored him until now.

Now that Master Camet had accepted him as his disciple, there was no need for him to give this class monitor any face.

Then, Camet and Lorne stopped paying attention to Haru, and Haru, who was standing beside them, did not know what to say.

He could only quietly listen to their conversation.

“Lorne, how’s your practice on the structure of the weapon and the basic usage of Runes that I gave you?”

When he heard Camet’s words, Haru was dumbfounded. What weapons structure? And the use of Runes?

Was this the first year of their freshman year? If not, he would have to ask his teacher.

Haru thought and Lorne’s answer surprised him.

“Master Camet, I have already mastered the basic usage of the Magic Weapon Structure and Runes that you taught me.”

After hearing what Lorne said, Camet’s calm expression changed.

“What did you say?”

Obviously, he was still not used to Lorne’s cultivation speed, so he asked the same question as before.

Was Master Camet really deaf?

It seemed that learning magic did not only prevent hair loss but also the ears and back.

Lorne sighed in his heart and repeated what he had just said.

“Master Camet, I say, I have already mastered the basic usage of the Magic Weapon Structure and Runes that you taught me!”

This time, he strengthened his voice so that both of them could hear him clearly.

Haru was dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on?’ Master Camet asked him how his connection was.

And Lorne’s answer was that he had already grasped it?

This was related to the form teacher asking him how his Magic Shield was. He could only say that he was not proficient enough but he could still summon it if he was slower.

However, if he could master it then he would be able to use magic freely. It would be very difficult to do without several years of energy.

“Of course,” said Camet deliberately. It was an exaggeration to act like that.

Because he’d seen in the magic mirror that Lorne had learned.

In order not to let him discover it, he could only pretend to be shocked.

It was clearly a century-old conundrum for the good old Camet..
