Chapter 64: Dual Training is the Best Solution

Cisco and Chambers were in a heated argument, neither man having any intention of giving in.

“Join the Healing Magic Department!”

“No, join the Long-range Magic Department!”

Fike stared blankly at the two department heads who were quarreling over him.

After evaluating the situation, he suddenly spoke up.

“Professors, I wonder if Yogmo Academy allows students to dual train?”

Cisco and Chambers both turned to look at Fike.

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the bigger picture.

“Sure, of course. Although Yogmo Academy has never had a genius that could afford to do so, I think we can apply with the principal!”

Cisco replied enthusiastically.

Chambers echoed his sentiments.

“Fike, you are indeed a genius. Then we’ll settle on that.”

Cisco and Chambers shook hands, finally making peace.

The quarrel between the two men was gone.

“Fike, you may head back to the freshmen service office and fill out the unfinished form.”

Fike managed a simple reply of thanks before leaving the barren area beside the law school. He turned around, walking back toward the huge circular building.

…

He arrived at the freshmen service office once again. At this time, only Seigne was left in the room.

The others had already left.

Fike noticed Seigne standing quietly in the corridor, hanging his head in silence.

He approached him, asking, “Seigne? What happened?”

Hearing Fike’s voice, the blonde youth raised his head.

“I thought that I’d be able to become a student of Yogmo Academy after passing these tests. I didn’t expect that I would still have to pay quite a sum of money after entering the academy.

“I really can’t afford it. I’m preparing to go back now.”

Looking at the depressed Seigne, Fike felt sorry for him.

“How much do you need?”

“Fike, I’m very grateful for your kindness. You’ve helped me countless times, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to do much this time.”

Fike pressed on.

“We solve problems when we encounter them. It’s useless to simply be anxious. Tell me exactly how much it is.”

Seigne looked up at his sincere friend.

“100,000 Romon gold coins. That’s my family’s income for three years. I’m going to have to leave this place.”

Fike smiled.

“I guessed it was about that much. I’ll pay for you!”

Looking at Fike’s calm expression, Seigne couldn’t help but feel guilty.

He hadn’t wanted to ask for his help again this time, after imposing so much on him already.

However, in comparison with the opportunity of achieving his dream of becoming a student at Yogmo Academy, he was more inclined to the latter. It was simply too much of a chance to pass up.

Seeing that Seigne had lowered his head in shame quietly, Fike didn’t flaunt his wealth any further.

“Let’s go in. After I finish filling out my form, we’ll go and hand over the money.”

After he had completed putting down all his details, Fike went along with Seigne to the first floor and handed the forms to Fanny.

“Are you sure about helping him to pay his tuition fees? That would be a total of 200,000 Romon gold coins!”

Fike nodded his head firmly as he handed over his gold card.

After a while, Fanny smiled at them.

“You are now students of Yogmo Academy. Go over to the window over there and get your clothes, room keys, and credit cards.”

The pair headed over to the window opposite Fanny’s.

An old woman with gray hair greeted them.

“Tell me your names and class.”

After Seigne had collected his things, Fike introduced himself.

“I’m Fike, Mage and Priest-in-training!”

Hearing this, the gray-haired old lady looked up at him in slight surprise.

“So you’re Fike? I’ve heard about you from the others at the Spell School. I didn’t expect that after so long, another genius would finally appear in Yogmo Academy!

“This is yours. Please keep it well!”

Fike took the item from the lady before asking again.

“May I ask what this credit card is for?”

She smiled lightly as she responded vaguely.

“You’ll know soon enough!”

Fike had wanted to ask more questions, but the old lady closed the window abruptly, shutting them off.

“Sigh, it seems that I really have to rely on myself to find out everything here.”

Fike murmured to himself leisurely.

After checking their bedroom keys, Fike and Seigne parted.

Soon, Fike passed through a neat, grassy lawn before appearing in front of a red building that had the appearance of a magnified church.

“It looks like this will be my new home for a while.”

He pushed open the white doors, and the smell of books greeted his senses.

Fike entered and soon found his room after looking for the number specified on his key.

It was a single room with good lighting.

He heaved himself onto the soft bed as he started to recall everything that had happened today.

He closed his eyes as he thought back to when he had exchanged for the gold coins, to Romon Restaurant, and finally to Conscience Grocery Store.

‘Oh right, didn’t I get a Prismatic Crystal? Why don’t I start crafting the Auto Demon Repelling Formation now?!

‘I’ll get to it right away!’

Fike took out the blueprint of the Auto Demon Repelling Formation from his backpack.

“The fangs and blood essence of the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast have been traded away for gold coins… I wonder if the materials from the Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast will work.”

Fike procured the materials he had plundered from the corpse of the Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast.

There were as many as six fangs, and he had collected three bottles of blood essence.

Following the instructions of the blueprint, he arranged the necessary items neatly.

Using the blood essence of the powerful beast as a brush, he drew the formation diagram in the air.

Once everything was done, Fike held up the Prismatic Crystal tightly in his hand before activating his own magic power.

Endless blue light slowly poured into the Prismatic Crystal.

The gravel coating its surface gradually crumbled off, and soon, the original appearance of the Prismatic Crystal was finally revealed.

As Fike casted more and more spells, the size of the crystal started to shrink.

Suddenly, the three Demon Prince-grade fangs flew up into the air before abruptly plunging themselves forcefully into the Prismatic crystal.

A surge of pain flooded Fike’s senses that was so intense he had no choice but to let go.

‘Could it be that it failed?’

Fike thought to himself with some regret.

[Hidden Information: You have successfully crafted the Auto Demon Repelling Formation. Due to the upgrade in materials used, the effectiveness of this formation has also been greatly improved.]

[Auto Demon Repelling Formation: Master-grade. This formation will follow its wielder forever. In the face of any attacks of an Exotic Beast, it will form an exorcism halo. Exotic Beasts below the Demon Prince-tier will be unable to cause any harm to the wielder.]

‘So it worked, and its effects have been improved as well… Not bad!”

Fike picked up the Prismatic Crystal that had fallen onto the ground.

The crystal was now only the size of a pearl.

Fishing out a thin string from his backpack, he passed it through the Prismatic Crystal and wore it around his neck.

‘With this, I won’t need to fight any Exotic Beasts lower than Demon Prince-tier in the future!’
