Chapter 59: 059. Midterm Evaluation (1)
This is an official event taking place after the dormitory occupation. Students, faculty, and even those living in the academy city could not hide their excitement.
"You must show it this time."
The dean, as usual, called Veris in secret and conveyed his firm resolve.
He had already been quietly spreading rumors to make Veris the academy's flagship... or rather, a living legend. It was not surprising that he would say such things now.
The dean needed Veris.
It would be more accurate to say he needed the overwhelming power that would leave a legendary mark.
The current dean was enduring a precarious situation alone, more than he had anticipated. There were even whispers among the faculty about him voluntarily resigning and promoting the vice-dean, James, to the dean's position!
Of course, the final nail in the coffin had been... the fact that Veris had carelessly tossed the Stone of Truth into the Magic Tower.
"So what do I gain from this?"
"What?"
"If I want something, there should naturally be something given in return, right?"
The dean was taken aback by Veris's bold question.
