In the end, Mara no longer had anything to say. He stepped aside quietly.
Looking at how Heroline was staring at him in hatred, Mara could only look down in shame. If only he knew what would happen today, he would have already taught Angor the Triangle Channeling. It was nothing valuable anyway.
If only…
Mara felt his situation changed from fortunate to desolation so fast. Thinking about his possible consequences upon returning to the academy, even Greya’s meal could not cheer him up now.
With endless sorrow, Mara felt himself instantly gaining another ten years in age. He moved to a corner and sulked on his own.
…
“Angor, dear, made up your mind?” Flora floated to Angor and looked at him with a seducing look. She said, “I’m sure you want to become my little junior.”
Her flirtation did not receive an expected outcome. Angor’s eyes were clear as always. He even frowned at Flora’s attempt.
Flora paused, and secretly let out a “little bastard” in her mind. She rolled her eyes, then returned to Greya to keep talking about meals.
People were looking at Angor again.
Angor looked at Mara, then back at Sunders.
He was hesitating not because he was afraid of offending someone. Instead, he was worried about Sunders’ intention. He did not believe in free favors. When Mara refused to teach him Triangle Channeling, he actually felt relieved. Sunders came too sudden. There must be a reason why the man wanted to take him away.
Angor was worried because he did not know if he could satisfy Sunders’ expectation, thus angering the terrible gentleman.
What did he want? How far could Angor satisfy him? Angor was struggling over these questions.
He did not have to worry about these if he chose White Coral Floating Island Academy. But… could he really save his teacher in five years with the help of the academy?
For himself. For his teacher.
Angor clenched his teeth, raised his head in determination and let out a single word:
“Alright.”
Clear and firm.
Sunders smiled. “Very good.”
Even Flora began to show a more gentle look towards Angor.
Apart from those people from White Coral Floating Island Academy, who all showed regret, the rest of the group regarded Angor with a serious look.
Before they came into Barbie’s Restaurant, this young man was only someone extremely lucky, and that was nothing important to them. However, half an hour later, this young man was going to earn himself a higher and higher ground with the help of his mentor. No one would ever consider him a common kid. He might still be a mortal at this moment, but his future… was unpredictable.
