Chapter 49 Old scroll I
Vice Principal George and Elder Han both were sitting and having tea inside a small room.
There was nothing extraordinary inside the room, only a single bed in the middle and two chairs in one corner with a table.
While they were talking and sipping on tea a knock was heard on the door.
Elder Han gazed at the door and asked the people standing outside to enter.
"Come in."
It was Carcel and Alec, both of them walked inside the room and greeted the Vice Principal and the Librarian.
But amidst the polite greeting, Alec was wearing an annoyed expression.
Vice Principal George put down his teacup before looking at Alec and Carcel seriously.
"There's something I would like to give both of you."
Elder Han who was sitting opposite to the Vice Principal looked at him with irritation because the Vice Principal only called the top two students.
What about Kyle? The student he recommended.
According to Elder Han Kyle should also be included if they were thinking of giving safety measures to some promising students.
So what if his talent was low? Among all the students Kyle was the only one capable enough to see through the Librarian's concealing technique.
It's true that the concealing technique he used was a little weak but still seeing through the technique itself was quite an incredible feat.
So why was Kyle not included?
Vice Principal George waved his hand and two small black stones filled with golden inscriptions appeared on the table, he was going to speak with Alec and Carcel when Elder Han stopped him midway.
"Are you sure to only give the stones to these two kids, I think you should also consider the one I recommended."
Vice Principal looked at the Librarian and frowned, he knew who the Librarian was referring to but there was no point in giving the stone to Kyle.
These stones were precious, found by the Principal of the Royal Academy when he entered the Tower in his teens. Also, it was a one time use item that can only be used inside the Tower.
By crushing these stones one can teleport to a small distance inside the Tower. It can said to be a life saving treasure for the individuals entering the Tower.
The Principal gave these stones to Vice Principal George before leaving and asked him to give one to the student having the highest talent, but now Prince Carcel was also a part of the Academy that's why Vice Principal George had no choice but to give one to Carcel as well.
Because if the King found out that the Academy had such a treasure and still didn't give it to the Prince, he would surely fight with the Principal.
Also, the Vice Principal only had two stones. That's why he was thinking to give one stone to Carcel and one to Alec.
Vice Principal George sighed before asking Elder Han to leave the room. Elder Han didn't pester anymore and quietly left the room because he knew this old man would never listen to anyone.
After coming out from the room the Librarian smiled because he had a nagging feeling the Vice Principal was going to regret it soon.
'Also, I don't believe Kyle only had (B)-Rank talent. Not until I confirm it myself.'
During the journey, Elder Han kept an eye on Kyle but whenever he was going to talk or approach him, Kyle would run away. That's why he was not able to confirm his talent.
After a long sigh, Elder Han left. This time he was going to find Kyle and check his talent and potential himself.
If his guess was right, and Kyle was a hidden gem then he would take him as his disciple. It was not bad at all.
Meanwhile, Inside the room Vice Principal George gave a summary about the stones to Alec and Carcel before giving both of them a stone and asking them to keep it a secret.
Alec and Carcel both were a little surprised but still, they thanked the Vice Principal and left the room.
.....
On the other hand, Kyle who was roaming around the bustling market saw a small crowd at a corner.
He was curious and went to check, inside the crowd stood an old looking dwarf with brown hair and eyes.
The old dwarf was wearing a smug smile while continuously asking the crowd to look at the weapons piled on his left side.
Kyle heard the crowd whispering that the Dwarf was selling high-rank weapons at a very low price but no one believed his claims.
The reason was simple, why would someone sell high-grade weapons like vegetables?
The crowd soon started to leave not believing a single word of the dwarf who seemed to be lowering the price of weapons even more.
After the crowd left only Kyle and a few young people were left around the dwarf.
They started looking at the weapons, Kyle was definitely not crazy. He also thought that the weapons were fake hearing the low price.
But then Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head told him that all the weapons were original! Not a single weapon was fake!
That's the only reason Kyle stopped and started looking at the weapons. The other young individuals all bought a weapon from the dwarf and left, leaving behind only Kyle and the dwarf.
Kyle already had a (D)-Rank sword that's why even though the weapons were all good, he wasn't going to buy one because right now they were practically useless to him.
After looking for a while Kyle was going to leave but the old dwarf who was watching him lowered the price even more.
The dwarf showed a beautiful bow to Kyle and asked him to buy it because he was going to leave this place and maybe they would never meet again.
But seeing the dwarf sleazy smile Kyle knew something was wrong that's why he politely declined the offer and tried to leave but the dwarf stopped him again.
"Young one. I can't lower the price anymore. Also, it seems you don't want to buy a weapon how about buying something else? I sell other things as well."
With a sly smile, the dwarf took out some more objects from his storage ring before looking at Kyle.
"I am almost near my monthly quota so buy one thing at least, hehe."
Now Kyle was even more suspicious,
What monthly quota?
But the problem was after seeing Kyle wearing a high-grade ring, the dwarf was not going to let him go. Not until he bought something.
