Chapter 153: The Wielder of Chaos
"W-Wha..."
Korvus was flabbergasted at what he heard, and a bit offended.
The brat dared take preemptive measures against him?!
"W-Well, honestly, yes," Hal replied, a bit embarrassed.
The Deputy Headmaster was about to blow up, but Hal’s next words came out and soothed the old man’s heart.
"But I didn’t do it out of disrespect for the Deputy Headmaster and his decisions," he continued.
"It’s just that I don’t grow stronger the same way others do, so studying the ways of an Arcanist on the side doesn’t really hurt my potential. I also know that Lord Korvus has long been a master of the standard path, which is why it would be difficult for him to understand my unusual methods. But truly, doing this would actually help speed up my growth as a combat wizard, not delay it, so I do hope you understand.
This is also my second request. Please allow me the same amount of freedom I’ve always had, as restricting me would only hamper my progress. Again, this isn’t me being willful. It’s just that this is truly the fastest way for me to grow."
The two academy leaders fell silent at Hal’s words.
The way the young man explained it was vague, but also somehow clear enough for them to believe him.
After all, although Korvus’ ways were indeed fixed and impossible to adjust, the old man also understood that there were anomalies like Hal that nobody would understand.
