Chapter 58: Deserved a Beating

As the door opened, the Old Mage’s deputy, Rikel, walked in.

“What is it exactly? Don’t you know I’m in a meeting?” The Old Mage said with some annoyance. Actually, everyone knew that this so-called meeting was just a group of old friends bantering.

Although Rikel also knew this, of course he didn’t dare to point it out. He understood in his heart that the Old Mage seemed to be in a bad mood, so he said carefully: “News came from the infirmary that Connie and sixteen other students were injured because they violated school rules by fighting privately. It is said that among them, just fractures alone, there are no less than fifty. Since the status of these students is very high, the Academic Affairs Office did not dare to handle it easily, so they wanted to ask for your opinion.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in unison, thinking, a dozen people, fifty fractures, meaning, on average, three fractures per person! Good heavens, when did Little Steven become so ruthless?

The Old Mage didn’t expect the problem to be so serious either. He looked at the Gale Sword Saint Skatz with a slight apology. Then he said: “Forget it, children fighting is nothing. Let this matter pass!”

Actually, this was already the Old Mage showing extra mercy. Don’t look at the fact that the ones beaten were Connie and the others, but according to the rules of the Academy, Warriors cannot provoke Mages. Just relying on this one rule, it was enough to give Connie and the others a hard time. For the protection of Mages, the Old Mage and the Magic Saints here had always been sparing no effort. If it weren’t for the sake of Connie being the son of the Gale Sword Saint Skatz, these guys would have been locked up in confinement for at least a few months.

The Gale Sword Saint Skatz also knew he was in the wrong. You know, a dozen Warriors fighting with one Mage, almost without asking, one knew that the provokers must be the numerous Warriors. Unless the Mage was an idiot or looking for a beating, he wouldn’t actively provoke so many Warriors. Now that Skatz saw the Old Mage let his child off, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t say it with his mouth, he was very grateful in his heart, and secretly determined that after returning this time, he must teach his own disappointing son a good lesson.

“Yes!” Rikel obviously expected this too. Since it involved the Gale Sword Saint Skatz, the matter would likely end without a conclusion, so he was not surprised at all. After saluting the Old Mage, he turned and left.

“Cough cough!” The Old Mage coughed twice, then laughed: “Let’s continue, where were we?”

“We were talking about your Little Steven!” The Fire Magic Saint Luna immediately said excitedly: “He is really amazing. As a Mage, he can even go Berserk! I really want to know what a Mage looks like after Berserk. Teacher, can you lend Little Steven to me to play with for two days?”

“Hmm~” Upon hearing this, everyone didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The Old Mage was even more depressed, thinking, do you think my Little Steven is a pet dog? Play for two days? If anything falls into your hands, the outcome is eighty percent likely to be burned to ashes. Who would dare to hand a person over to you, a lunatic?

Just as the Old Mage was planning to refuse Luna, suddenly someone knocked on the door again. The Old Mage was directly annoyed this time and shouted angrily: “Come in!”

Discovering that the one pushing the door open was still Rikel, the Old Mage immediately said angrily: “What happened again? Why do you keep disturbing me?”

“Oh, it’s like this!” Rikel seemed to know that he was disturbing the Old Mage’s meeting continuously was inappropriate, but he had no choice and could only say helplessly: “News came from the infirmary again that Prince Mark’s son was thrown into the river head-first. His head seemed to have hit a stone at the bottom of the river, and his skull was cracked. Although his life was saved after rescue, he was left with sequelae. In the future, I’m afraid he will never be able to get rid of the headache problem!”

“Hmm!” The Old Mage heard this, was first stunned, and then immediately asked: “What’s going on? Who did it?”

“Oh~” Rikel hesitated for a moment, quietly leaned close to the Old Mage’s ear, and whispered: “It is said that it was your Little Steven. He also beat up two attendants of the Prince’s son at the same time. Those two seemed to be seriously injured too. One lost five teeth, and the other had his nasal bone comminuted fractured. It is impossible to recover in this lifetime!”

“Idiot, do you think if you speak softly these guys won’t hear?” The Old Mage first scolded Rikel with a wry smile, then asked, “Then why did they fight?”

“Yes!” Rikel learned his lesson this time and said directly in a loud voice: “The specific situation is not clear yet, but according to people present, it seems that Little Steven went over to beat them up on his own initiative. There was not a single word of nonsense in the whole process; he just went over and beat them directly. We speculate that Little Steven probably recognized the Prince’s son as the person who harmed him last time, so he took revenge.”

“Haha!” Upon hearing this, the Old Mage immediately laughed and said: “Good, good, worthy of being the heir of the Steven Family. Beating people with such momentum. Men fighting shouldn’t have nonsense. Haha, well beaten!”

For the Old Mage’s domineering behavior, everyone was obviously already used to it. In fact, they also knew that the truth was that some people had gone too far. Although on the surface they didn’t express any stance, in their hearts, they all supported the Old Mage.

After the Old Mage laughed enough, he immediately ordered Rikel: “Tell them that the bastard raised by Prince Mark deliberately provoked and deserved the beating. Remember to send the bill for the treatment costs to His Highness the Prince later. People don’t care about this small amount of money, don’t let them say we look down on him! Alright, you go down now, don’t disturb us if nothing happens!”

“Yes!” Although Rikel was speechless about the Old Mage’s domineering style, he still didn’t dare to say much and hurriedly saluted and retreated.

“Sigh, had my mood ruined by this guy’s unreasonable reasons again!” After Rikel left, the Old Mage said helplessly: “Alright, let’s continue, where were we just now?”

“Teacher, you said you would lend Little Steven to me to play with for two days!” The Fire Magic Saint Luna immediately said.

“Stop, stop!” The Old Mage heard this and hurriedly said in fright: “Although you said it, I didn’t agree. Luna, my family only has this one seedling! Even if I beg you, please let him go!”

“What!” The Fire Magic Saint Luna immediately said reluctantly: “Teacher, I really just want to borrow him for research for two days, I guarantee to return him to you intact!”

“Hmm, I believe you. The magical beasts you borrowed from me before were also returned intact, just all eighty percent cooked!” The Old Mage said with a bitter face.

“Oh my, Teacher, your treatment is different!” The Ice Magic Saint Rui Li on the side couldn’t help but shout: “Last time she borrowed the Ice Bear I finally caught, and what was returned was simply bone ash!”
