Chapter 37: Fame

“Come with me.”

Toulon and Shu Ke quickly got separated as they both had their own things to do.

Ron was in charge of Shu Ke’s matters now, he would be his teacher and be in charge of teaching him.

“With someone like Toulon helping you, your days in the academy will be much better.”

Ron said as he looked at Toulon’s figure walking away. The two weren’t even in a real master-disciple relationship, yet their relationship was better than those who have that type of relationship.

Moreover, they had only known each other for less than a month, their relationship was only a little more than strangers.

Therefore, Ron felt that they had an admirable relationship.

“Instructor Ron, please take care of me in the future.”

Shu Ke nodded as he looked at Ron with a gentle expression.

It did not look disrespectful but it was definitely not respectful either—it was normal.

His attitude was not a big deal. After all, many students were like him.

But for some reason, it was different when it came to Shu Ke.

Ron gave it some careful thought and decided that it was nothing.

“As expected, the relationship that we have is not as good as you and Toulon’s.”

Ron said as he sighed softly, his words sounded indescribably envious.

This made Shu Ke feel a little strange. What was there for Ron to be envious of? He had offended the Vincent family and he didn’t even know when he’d get killed by somebody. What could be worthy of Ron’s envy?

“Teacher Toulon is my teacher after all, he also saved my life. I wouldn’t be here today without his help, so it’s only natural for me to have more feelings for teacher Toulon.”

Shu Ke responded with a straight face, he did not have any intention of beating around the bush. This made Ron feel a little embarrassed. What he had just said was really inappropriate.

“Kid, the way you speak is really interesting. Aren’t you a little too straightforward?”

“I really don’t believe that you’ve endured humiliation in the Vincent family for eighteen years!”

Shu Ke should be trying to please Ron at this time.

After all, Shu Ke would become Ron’s student and learn from him, so pleasing Ron should be the most important thing right now.

However, Shu Ke didn’t do that. He said some rather unpleasant things to Ron instead, which was a bit surprising.

“I think it’s important to be a little truthful to your own instructor. Besides, instructor Ron, you don’t seem like the kind of person who likes to listen to mushy compliments, do you?”

“You brat.”

Ron shook his head helplessly, this brat was indeed a bit unpredictable.

However, he was right about one thing. He really did not like that kind of compliment, it would only make him feel disgusted.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you the place you’ll be living in for the next three years.”

Ron already had a good impression of Shu Ke. In addition to what Shu Ke had said this time, Ron’s impression of Shu Ke became even better.

His attitude towards him naturally became much gentler.

The two of them walked towards the banana-looking house that Shu Ke had seen in the sky. Shu Ke frowned when he saw it, but he couldn’t say anything.

Shu Ke saw many people whispering something in a low voice along the way. Some of them were even pointing at him. It was obvious that Shu Ke had become famous in the entire Royal Academy.

“What’s going on? Why do these people seem to know me?”

Shu Ke thought about it for a really long time but he couldn’t figure it out. What was going on?

He didn’t do anything at all. Why were people acting as if they knew him?

“The Vincent family has issued a warrant for your arrest. Whoever brings your head back to the Vincent family will be rewarded five thousand gold coins.”

Ron immediately explained to Shu Ke, as if he had read his mind.

“The first thing that the Vincent family did was to issue an arrest warrant at the Royal Academy. So although you’ve just arrived, your reputation has already spread throughout the entire academy.”

“…”

Shu Ke didn’t know what to say for a moment. He would rather not be this popular, it was simply a life-threatening charm!

“Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you don’t leave the academy, nothing will happen to you. The academy forbids attacking others at will.”

“Moreover, if you can get first place in your year, the academy will satisfy a reasonable wish of yours. When that time comes, you can completely request the academy to help you resolve the trouble with the Vincent family.”

Hearing Ron’s words, Shu Ke immediately became excited. “Instructor Ron, you mean that as long as I get first place in my year, then I will be able to propose a reasonable wish to the academy? This wish is even able to go against the wishes of the Vincent family!?”

“However, you can’t go too far. For example, you absolutely can’t propose such a wish to destroy the Vincent family. This is completely impossible.”

The Vincent family was one of the three pillars of the kingdom. Moreover, the Royal Academy was essentially an academy that served the kingdom, so it naturally wouldn’t agree to such an unrealistic wish.

“I understand.”

Shu Ke nodded. A bold plan gradually formed within his heart. The most important point was that this plan was completely feasible, as long as he became the first in his year, it would be enough.

“Looks like you really have this intention? Nevertheless, in the academy, everyone is a genius. An existence like Bordeaux is only average here. It’s very difficult for you to become the first in your year!”

“I know, you never know until you try.”

Shu Ke nodded. He naturally didn’t underestimate others because of his great victory in the Vincent family.

At the end of the day, he had only trained for a month. There were many people stronger than him in this world.

Therefore, Shu Ke did not look down on everyone because of his victory.

“It’s a good thing that you have such awareness.”

Seeing that Shu Ke was so humble, Ron was quite satisfied. Then, he brought Shu Ke to his dormitory.

It was a vertical building that looked like a standing banana.

“This will be your dormitory in the future, the banana building. It’s a rather unique dormitory here!”

Ron covered his mouth as he introduced the building to Shu Ke, he looked like he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.
