The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1212 - 360: The Academic State's First Meal (Part 3)

As for Senior Kurs and Ilana, they are friends he met on the road. Because he is diligent in his work, taking on all dirty and tedious tasks without any pretentiousness or ambition of "becoming a Sage written on his face," he is quite likable.

Who would dislike a harmless little bee?

Ilana, sitting across from him, is also a newly admitted preparatory student, but her demeanor is much more practical. Perhaps due to her noble background, she leisurely stirs the porridge in her bowl with a spoon, ignoring the surrounding noise and refraining from any comment.

As for Kurs, he is probably a sycophant to this Ilana lady, with his eagerness written all over his face.

He is indeed an Official Apprentice at the Tower of Great Sage, but once inside this tower, what does a senior responsible for admissions matter?

Moreover, he is not even in charge of admissions; he is just assisting the assistants responsible for admissions.

These gimmicks might have some effect on ordinary girls, but for someone experienced and worldly, it's just a joke.

However, to show off his knowledge and familiarity with "Academic State's internal affairs," he cleared his throat vigorously and, with the "Cloud Ladder" Finn handed over, launched an attack towards the "flowers" hanging high on the city wall.

"A major event? Finn, this can't be described as a 'major event.' It's simply a legend worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Academic State!"

He leaned forward, his eyes shining with the unique light of a strong admirer, making the confused junior pause for a moment.

"A legend?"

"Exactly!"

Kurs's voice involuntarily heightened, attracting a few curious glances from the neighboring tables. He lowered his voice but continued speaking excitedly and vividly.

"Listen carefully, Finn. This story starts from the beginning. During the examinations for you rookies, a remarkable figure came to the recruitment point at the border—his name is Roxey Colin! This guy is a genuine Prince of the Empire, and it's said he holds a recommendation letter from the real power holders of the Empire, even the King of Rhode Kingdom is of lesser status in front of this figure, understand?"

Finn nodded blankly, his complexion slightly pale and a bit flushed.

In the Academic State, it's perfectly fine to discuss the King of Rhode Kingdom casually, but since he is a Luo De person, he is still a bit unadapted to this change.

Kurs took a deep breath as if gathering strength for the upcoming climax.

"Having a born title is not extraordinary, but what came next is! This prince could easily have come comfortably and leisurely, but he chose not to do so! I heard from my pal that he did the exam registration for the prince; he saw with his own eyes the compassion and starry blaze in the prince's eyes! He is unwilling to be mediocre; he concealed his title and wanted to start from the very bottom admission trials like us! In my opinion, such courage is something not everyone can possess!"

Finn couldn't help but want to applaud, but after clapping his little hands, he quietly stopped, placing them together in a prayer gesture.

"Saint Sis above... this is really... I heard there was a test paper graded full marks by three examiners simultaneously, could it be written by him?!"

"Indeed! And this is the most dramatic part—the perfect paper was actually swapped!" Kurs suddenly changed the topic, his eyes filled with anger, yet his tone grew even more passionate.

"Swapped?! How is that possible! This place is the Academic State! Is that guy nuts?!" Finn exclaimed, and this time it was the other apprentices nearby who cried out to Saint Sis.

There's an old saying in the Academic State: Don't offend Mages.

Similarly, in Rhode Kingdom, there is a similar saying, only Mages replaced with Knight Masters.

"Exactly! I can hardly believe it, that diligent and helpful Senior Minos turned out to be such a person! People are really unpredictable; to think I admired him before! And what's the result? He audaciously exploited procedural loopholes and quietly swapped the prince's perfect paper! How dirty do you think this person's heart is? It's utterly rotten!"

Kurs cursed in a low voice, disclosing all the inside information he knew.

Although this wasn't really inside information anymore, as the Tower of Great Sage had long since made the results public and printed them in the morning paper for announcement, it's just that these newly admitted preparatory students weren't aware yet.

Ilana raised her delicate eyebrows, genuinely surprised, but not surprised at Minos's audacity, rather surprised that such a small apprentice was able to exploit procedural loopholes, which is rare even in her motherland.

Finn, on the other hand, subconsciously clenched his fists, completely absorbed in the story, and the story reached its final turning point—

"However! In the end, we still won!"

Kurs's face radiated a sunny smile, placing his hand on Finn's shoulder, while his eyes subtly glanced at Ilana, as if checking whether that beautiful face resonated with the admiration evident in this kid called Finn.

"...The story ends with two heads missing, the Northern Duke wouldn't shield two thieves. This cunning fox didn't run far and was hiding under our noses, the knight's fiefdom at the border! The funniest part was that he took the ill-gotten money for debauchery, haha! Was that what he earned money for?"
