Chapter 46: Purchasing a Grimoire
"You lost?" A good-looking, slightly skinny young man stared at the four in front of him as they handed him a report of what had happened.
The seated young man wore the most dignified clothes to be seen at the Academy, chosen specifically for him and created by the best tailors in the kingdom.
A tight-fitting black frock coat adorned the top, with lace and silver embroidery on the sleeves. Underneath was a white shirt of the finest linen with a winged collar and a Vinotinto tie trimmed in gold.
His specially tailored tight pants matched perfectly with the black-vinyl contrast above, giving him a noble feel. He could distinguish himself among all the students.
But what stood out the most among the students was his cane, which had a golden star on the top tip.
That was the highest distinction he could have: he was one of the Academy’s Star Students, whose level was above 100.
At present, only three students in this academic branch have that distinction.
The rest of the distinctions on his black frock coat went unnoticed in front of the greatness of that star.
That alone inspired respect.
For that reason, the men in front of him lowered their heads. Their shoulders were covered with bandages as they waited for the potions to take effect. It would take a while, since his bones were affected.
"We’re sorry, Young Master." John said. "That man is strong. His level is likely lower than mine, because his vitality wasn’t as high, but his strength... he could penetrate my natural defense very easily with one shot."
