Chapter 433 - Mysterious Employer of 66

"Hey Gilrine, I want to ask you something" Michael came to Gilrine's side. The big man was still staring at the door that Gaya walked through.

"Hello," he had to pat Gilrine on the shoulder to get his attention,

"Oh sorry, did you say something?"

"Yeah, I want to ask if someone from another house could share the room with me"

Gilrine was taken aback by surprise,

"No no no no, god no. You just came to Mazeorth and you already found a mate" the big man was frantically shaking his head,

"It's not a girl, he's just a friend" Michael quickly said before Gilrine could get another idea,

"Why can't he stay in his room?" asked Gilrine as Michael waved at Nightmare to bring Wilkas closer.

Hearing the footsteps, Gilrine turned around and saw Wilkas walking towards them. The moment, he saw the half-elf, Gilrine discovered why Ghost was asking such a question,

"Oh"

Michael noticed the sadness emerge in Gilrine's eyes for a moment when he saw Wilkas,

"You can share rooms, there are no rules against a student from another house bunking in another house room. It's a common thing here"

When Wilkas came to them, Gilrine patted Wilkas on the shoulder,

"Have it rough eh? It will get better, don't fret about it"

Gilrine sounded as though he had personal experience of getting bullied. It was obvious to everyone that Gilrine isn't a pure-blooded human. Michael guessed he might be half-giant and half-human.

Compared to the humans, the elves were next-level racists. Hence, Wilkas was affected by the racism much more than Gilrine,

"Yeah, he's having it rough. So he will stay with us" Michael placed his hand on Wilkas's shoulder with a smile. Wilkas felt like he was being stared at by a predator as he swallowed a mouth full of saliva. Wilkas wasn't a softhearted one. The life on the streets forged him to be cold, cunning, and headstrong. However, something about the human before him sent a chill through his spine.

"You two should return to the great hall. Your prefects will be waiting there"

Gilrine patted the youngsters before gently stroking Nightmare's chin.

"Good luck with your classes tomorrow. Especially in your combat classes, professor Steinmeyer freaks me out"

"You didn't see?" Wilkas asked Gilrine,

"Saw what?"

"Nothing. Come on 45, it's way past your bedtime" Michael dragged him away from Gilrine before Wilkas spilled the beans about Gaya and him.

"See you tomorrow Gilrine" Michael waved at Gilrine before making his way to the great hall.

The great hall was once again packed with students when he arrived. Few of the elves gave Wilkas a death glare while some just ignored him completely as though he didn't exist.

Michael could care less about these racist assholes.

"House Alchemists, follow me in an orderly manner," said a curly brown-haired youngster.

"Arch energy flow will be blocked in three...two...one" a voice echoed through the hall,

When the voice said one, the Arch energy in the hall disappeared. However, Michael did not feel any difference. In fact, he could feel the arch energy running in his body.

"Trust me you dont. No one knows him, you just do our work without asking any questions and he would pay you quite handsomely. What are you saying?"

"Hey, im just a petty thief. I stole a scroll years ago which showed me how to break open space rings okay. Here I said it. What kind of work can I do to earn a lot? I'm not a cultivation monster like you"

"But you are a runemaster and my employer is looking for an ambitious runemaster. Your star level doesn't matter, if you serve him well, he can make you climb up the star levels and even reach the 6-star level"

"You can't bullshit a bullshitter sixty-six or whatever your name is"

Knock!

Knock!

Someone knocked on the door. Wilkas was closer to the door so he opened the door to see an old lady with a trolly full of stacks of clothes,

"Oh," the woman seemed surprised to see a half elf. Several seconds later, she put a smile on her face,

"Your uniforms dear, two Alchemist robes I presume" asked the old woman,

"Nah" Wilaks shook his head, pretending he didn't see the surprised look on her face,

"One Alchemist and one Runemaster please"

The old woman picked up an emerald green robe from the top of the trolly and a navy blue one from under. He handed over the neatly pressed robes to Wilkas.

"There he is" just when the lady was about to turn the trolley and leave, a tall lean, and mean-looking elf arrived. He was not alone, he had a group of five elves behind him. All of them were wearing gray robes with golden borders,

Sensing the trouble, the old woman rushed away from the room as fast as her old legs could move.

"Oh no you dont"

The elves grabbed the door before Wilaks could shut it close. Nightmare craned his neck to see five elves walking into their room like they own the room. One of the elves leading the group pushed Wilkas onto the chair behind,

"So the filthy rat is hiding in the sewers"

"Guys should we not do this now" Wilkas tried to wiggle himself out of the trouble,

"This is the perfect time to do this. Guys close the door, we don't want the rat to escape do we?" the elf put his leg Wilkas's chest and pressed him against the chair,

"Evindal, do we really have to waste this healing potion on him?" the elven girl asked worriedly. She seemed to care more about the healing potion than what was about to happen to Wilkas,

"We can't risk getting expelled, Leena. Especially because of this filth"

The elves completely ignored Michael. Nightmare turned his head towards Michael and saw him lay down on the bed with his eyes closed. He did not seem like he was going to intervene.

"We really shouldn't do this," said Wilkas,

"Or we like to do"

Plap!

The elf slapped Wilkas with enough force to produce an ear-piercing sound. The hand mark was imprinted on Wilkas's pale face. His face reddened,

"Gu-"

Plap!

Wilkas's words were abruptly interrupted by another slap. This time, blood started to seep through his nostrils due to the force,

"Ghost do something" Nightmare whispered yet Ghost remained still.
