415. Cocoro's Challenge
"Today, we will conduct a temporary test."
Joel, who was wearing a black cloth, said to the students in his cram school.
Test? The students all looked worried about this.
I thought their tutor was different from other teachers, but the result was not the same.
Everyone likes to do this.
Most students don't like this.
They hate showing their "achievements".
"Teacher Igukuno, can we trade first?" a student asked.
This sentence won the echo of many students, and also the approval of Joel.
He thought about it carefully and realized that the more important thing than gaining more prestige was indeed treasure.
To him, there is nothing more important than treasure.
"You're right, let's make the transaction first, and you throw the note into my box." Joel said.
When this matter is carried out in an orderly manner.
Poirot, the administrator of Barbara College, brought someone with him.
"Mr. Igukuno..." Poirot shouted.
Judging from his outstanding eyesight, I am sure that the one named Igukuno is the abominable thief dragon named Yoel!
There is no such person as Igukuno in the academy. In other words, only the extra student Joel of Lady Barbara can possibly impersonate him.
Compared to his theft, what Poirot couldn't forgive the most was Joel's involvement in the magic costume.
You must know that every year, a large part of Barbara Academy's income comes from magic costumes.
He cooperated with other magic costume masters and used the magic costume masters to take a cut of the sales of magic costumes.
The magic costumes sold by Joel are enough to destroy the market of Barbara Academy!
"What's wrong?" Joel asked without looking back.
His eyes were completely attracted by the numbers on the note.
Gold coins cost five hanks, gems cost one hank.
Hank is the unit in Anlan's world, which is equivalent to the volume of one hundred cubic meters.
The spread of gold coins made Joel completely uninterested in talking to Poirot.
"...A magician is here to challenge you." Poirot, who knew Joel's identity, was particularly tough on the matter of the treasure.
For people of their race, wealth is more important than life!
"Magic Costume Master challenges me?"
Joel looked confused.
The students were also confused.
When did a magician become strong enough to fight against a strong person like Igukuno-sensei?
They believe that the so-called challenge is fighting.
After the last situation where Lange came in person, they made a rough guess about Joel's strength.
But strength is strength, and there are very few strong people who, while mastering power, also master skills and knowledge, especially this skill and knowledge, which is the first-class magic weaponry in terms of difficulty in learning.
If you want to succeed in a field, the most basic thing you need to pay is time.
They have not considered the aspect of magic equipment. This is the same as a scholar trying to get a general to engage in a civil fight with them. It is more likely that he will be beaten forcibly because of his unclear reasons.
The reason for Joel's confusion is the question, has he done anything wrong recently?
Is it possible that the theft of someone's treasure was discovered? This is very likely. Everywhere you look, there is something that cannot be stolen.
"How does he want to challenge?" Joel asked, urging: "Hurry up and submit your note."
The sharp-eyed Poirot immediately discovered the words written in the note.
His eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames. He stared at Joel closely. The treasures on those notes were supposed to be kept by him...!
"No submission is allowed, Barbara College is not allowed to sell magic costumes!" Poirot shouted anxiously.
His words have a certain deterrent effect, after all, he is the administrator of the college, but that's all.
The students were just stunned for a moment and then continued to put the slips of paper into the box in an orderly manner.
As members of the family, they do not need to worry about Poirot's revenge.
The purpose of coming to this college is just to seek a chance to become Barbara's student.
Now, this opportunity may also appear for Igukuno. According to Lange, Igukuno is even stronger than him.
In terms of probability, it even exceeds the chance of Barbara's students. At the same time, if you continue to submit notes, you will still have a chance to obtain magic equipment. Even if you leave this academy, the magic equipment will still be theirs. This has a certain impact on subsequent plane conquests.
With great benefits.
"Mr. Poirot, you are being unkind."
"We bid for magic costumes from the academy every year, and now you say that Barbara College is not allowed to sell magic costumes?"
"Is it possible that the rules are just this year? Or is it that the legendary mage Barbara just made the rules this year?"
Poirot's expression changed several times, but he did not have the courage to admit such words.
Unfounded blame is what Barbara hates the most.
He avoided the question and said instead: "It's the magic costume master Cocoro. He wants to challenge you in the field of magic costume."
Magic costume master Coco Luo is a very famous magic costume master. This does not mean that his magic costume master skills are at the peak. He is just a third-level magic costume master.
The third to fourth level is a critical stage, and most third-level magicians will often try to cross into another realm and reach the fourth level.
But Kokoro did not do this. Instead of delving into higher-level magic equipment, he instead delved into how to improve production efficiency.
At the same time, considerable achievements have been made.
Most of the low-level magic equipment obtained by middle- and low-level families was provided by them.
Most of the magic costumes that Barbara sells every year also have the production mark of Cocoro's magic costumes.
"Challenge... magic costume? Not interested." Joel waved his paw.
He learns magic costumes to earn treasure.
How can I be in the mood to focus on fighting with other people?
Poirot seems to have known this answer for a long time, because if it were him, he would definitely choose the same answer as Joel.
It is a sin to waste time on things other than earning wealth!
"He made a request." Poirot said with confidence in his tone.
Joel heard it and made a slightly questioning voice, "Huh?"
"If you agree to his challenge, 1,000 Hank units of treasure." Poirot's eyes shone.
I even feel like I want to replace Joel!
I am afraid that only Kokoro can easily take out such a huge amount of treasure.
With a rich production line, what he values is high quality and low price.
Of course, the so-called cheapness is relative to magic equipment. Compared with the prices of other items, the price of magic equipment remains high.
Joel was completely stunned.
He knew Hank's unit clearly and what kind of treasure this was.
"Time and place." Joel changed his words very naturally.
