The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Let's return to the eldest son of the Lancy family, who is none other than Ghosn in front of us.

He was an even more ruthless character than his father, relentless in pursuing his goals. It was he who seized the farmland and mines that once belonged to the Rema family.

It was also he who devised the idea of ​​monopolizing the iron forging industry in the entire capital city of Anseth.

In some ways, Ghosn can be considered a young hero.

Therefore, Maggie and Ghosn were practically irreconcilable enemies.

Why I'm here is none of your business!

"Oh, Miss Maggie is still the same as before, not very capable, but she has quite a temper."

The other two young men beside Ghosn were also amused by his words and burst into laughter.

They were sons of other families who gathered around Ghosn in order to curry favor with him.

It was obvious that Maggie was furious with Ghosn.

Unlike her previous conflict with Claire, this time she was genuinely angry, the kind of anger that would kill.

"Gorn! I am the daughter of Lord Anseth! How dare you speak disrespectfully to me!"

"What, you can't argue with me, so you're going to go to your parents? That's so childish of you, hahaha!"

Enraged, Maggie took out a white handkerchief from her waist and threw it hard at Ghosn's feet.

"Pick it up, then duel me!"

However, Ghosn just looked at the handkerchief at his feet with disdain, and then stepped on it.

"Miss Maggie is just like always, always trying to imitate others. But in a duel between nobles, it's the gloves that get thrown. This handkerchief-dropping game... it's not a child's game!"

"Hahaha!"

"You!" Maggie trembled with rage, a fierce fire erupting from her, scorching the surrounding air.

Of course she knew that gloves had to be thrown away in a duel!

But she doesn't have gloves!

"Accept this duel!"

"How terrifying, Miss Maggie. I wouldn't dare fight you, and... I don't need to fight you."

"Fighting is nothing but the behavior of barbarians. Or is it that even though Miss Maggie has entered a magic academy, she still hasn't learned the basic manners of civilized people?"

Maggie's head was buzzing with anger, and Claire, standing beside her, was also burning with rage.

The students, unaware of the feud between Maggie and Ghosn, began to whisper among themselves. Those who had once fawned over Maggie, fearing Ghosn's power, dared not stand up to help.

Unlike Maggie, Ghosn was not a magician, but an ordinary person.

If he accepts Maggie's duel, he will undoubtedly be instantly killed.

Therefore, he chose to refuse, and his words left no room for error, thus putting Maggie in a difficult position.

He is a smart person who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Meanwhile, Ghosn is an ordinary person, but the mage bodyguards around him are quite powerful.

They were all magicians with five circuits.

It was precisely because he had these bodyguards around that he dared to speak so arrogantly and provoke Maggie so recklessly.

Victor couldn't listen anymore.

Maggie was his student; how could he tolerate her being bullied so blatantly?

"You lot, that's enough."

"Maggie is here solely because of an academy field trip. Furthermore, Maggie studies very diligently at school and possesses considerable talent. I believe it won't be long before she becomes a fully-fledged magician!"

"We still have some travel missions to complete. If there's nothing else, please leave."

Ghosn frowned slightly and glanced at Victor with a pursed lip.

"Who is this old man with the white beard?"

Victor was enraged by those words.

He was already suppressing his anger after the student was insulted. But Ghosn's contemptuous tone ignited his fury.

Even theoretical mentors have tempers!

"What did you say?!"

"How dare you call me an old man with a white beard?!"

At that moment, a mage standing next to Ghosn stepped forward, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“Young Master Gorn, his name is Victor, and he is the theoretical instructor at the Magic Academy.”

"He must be seventy years old this year. At his age, he only has three magic circuits. He only possesses the most basic combat abilities, and he was even beaten to the ground by his own students."

"This state is a disgrace to the academy."

After hearing this, Ghosn laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"What? I thought he was some tough guy, but he's just a lousy mentor."

Victor, on the other hand, was completely distraught.

The entire college knows about the three circuits, so it's not surprising that word has spread.

But... how did he find out that he was defeated by his own student?!

Noticing Victor's surprise, the magician slowly removed his hood, revealing his true face.

Victor saw his face and the horrifying scar on it.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled.

"It's...you?!"

“Professor Victor, it’s been a long time.”

Ghosn became interested in the two men and asked them a question.

"What, you two know each other?"

The magician smiled eerily: "Of course I know him. In fact, we know each other very well."

"Because I was once Victor's student. And I witnessed firsthand the whole process of him being beaten to the ground by that student."

"Hehehe... Victor was really down on his luck back then. I can still remember the scene."

The magician's true appearance, accompanied by a distant and painful memory, flooded into Victor's consciousness.

His body was trembling, and his face had turned deathly pale.

"Rooney... Rooney. I never thought I'd see you again! What are you doing here!"

"Weren't you trying to revitalize your family? How did you end up becoming someone else's bodyguard!"

Rooney also reminisced about the past.

Then, she looked at Victor with icy eyes.

"All of this is, of course, thanks to you, Mentor Victor."

Chapter Ninety-One: Card Game

Mocking laughter mingled with Rooney's voice.

Victor felt a buzzing in his head, everything became unsteady, and he could barely stand.

“Professor Victor. I didn’t expect that after all these years, you would still be the same as before, your legs would go weak at the slightest thing.”

"To be honest, as your student, I only feel ashamed."

Victor had a thousand things he wanted to say, but when he saw the scars on Rooney's face, he could only swallow them back down.

"Rooney...it's me!"

“Let’s go. Talking to these people makes me feel inferior.” Rooney pulled his hood back up and turned to leave.

Ghosn laughed so hard he almost fell over, but he finally managed to resist the urge to make further jokes.

"Since you are Rooney's mentor, I will give you some face and not embarrass you any further."

"However, Mentor Victor, next time you want to stand up for someone else, don't forget to consider your own strength."

"Three circuits... they're not even qualified to be my family's watchdogs!"

Even after Ghosn and his group had completely disappeared, their laughter still echoed faintly in the ancient ruins.

Victor felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and his legs swayed unsteadily.

Fortunately, a student nearby helped him up, preventing him from falling to the ground.

The students had never seen Victor in such a disheveled state.

Who exactly is that Rooney?!

What happened between him and Victor?

"I'm sorry, students..."

"Today's tour... comes to an end."

"Let's go back."

Table number one.

Following Kelly's directions, Ryan sat down at table number one.

He casually tossed a handful of chips onto the table.

Kelly did not join the game as a dealer, but as a gambler.

Because she's going to take all of Ryan's money!
