Chapter 125: Reasons to remain hidden. Start of the auction
He had drifted into thoughts. Now that he had reached the highest rank known to mages which was the Saint mage rank, he didn’t have any reason to be afraid and keep hiding his true identity anymore. He could now disclose that he was Mr Chen and did not need to hide his wealth from his family members.
He also didn’t need to continue going to the academy anymore and could abandon the tournament, he didn’t really care what happened to the academy if he suddenly left. Their performance during the tournament would definitely drop due to his absence, just like Laura’s, but that didn’t concern Alex.
After all, the academy had turned a blind eye to most of the injustice he had suffered during his years as a trash.
However, on second thought, Alex didn’t feel alright with suddenly deleting the identity of Mr Chen and drawing all of the attention to himself. If everyone knew that he was Mr Chen, many of them would definitely come to bother him for one reason or another, just like how they were trying to form connections with Mr Chen right now.
The only reason why he could still avoid them was that they couldn’t find him. But if they knew Alex was Mr Chen, they would just go directly to his family and beg for an audience. His family wouldn’t be able to live a simple life after his revelation as well and might even start to avoid public places.
And while no one would dare to offend him, the hearts of humans were unpredictable, especially those from the Dark Union who didn’t fear dying.
Would he need to take away his family’s freedom just so he could protect them at all times by keeping them by his side at all times?
Another thing that occurred to Alex was that he still didn’t know a lot of things about magic and the things on this planet; his current knowledge was that of an academy student, which wasn’t enough.
To know more, he would need to go to a magic university and explore this vast world of magic without being constantly bothered by people who wanted to form connections with him.
For this reason, Alex had decided to remain in the academy and participate in the tournament so as to catch the eyes of a good magic university.
While on that, he’ll continue to maintain the identity of Mr Chen and explore places where his identity as Alex couldn’t reach.
