I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

On the same day that Lis went to the Carl family.

Royal Magic Academy of Feis.

Today, Yousef was in a particularly good mood, or rather, he had been in a great mood these past few days.

After all, who wouldn't be happy to suddenly receive such an outstanding student as Lis?

It felt almost like finding five million while walking!

When Lis had asked him if he could use his title of Magic Rune Master as a front, Yousef couldn't have been more eager, even wanting to proactively publicize it himself.

After all, the invention of the "Self-Charging" magic rune was destined to leave a profound mark in the history books of magic rune, or even the entire history of magic, and as Lis's teacher, he was sure to get his share of the limelight.

So today, Yousef made a rare trip out. Naturally, with his temperament, having finally managed to settle all the affairs of the Fifth Magic Workshop and planning to stay indoors for several months without leaving the workshop.

Those who have reached the master level in the fields of enchantment and magic runes often have one basic skill: they must be able to sit still.

How could you possibly make any breakthroughs in your research if you're out running around every day!

Yousef strolled leisurely around the academy, heading towards the center, with students recognizing and respectfully making way for him as he passed.

Soon, Yousef arrived at his destination for the day, the administrative building of the Royal Magic Academy of Feis where all daily affairs of the academy were handled.

Yousef went straight to the third floor and walked into the innermost room.

"Dalton, I've come to see you again!"

As he entered, Yousef noticed another person sitting in front of Dalton, seemingly in the middle of a conversation.

Yousef knew this man, or rather, was quite familiar with him.

"Isn't that Odysseus? What brings you, the vice principal, here today?"

Odysseus Blumer was indeed the same person Lis had met previously at the Nest of the Undead Tree Demon; he was both the deputy leader of the Royal Mage Group of Feis and also the vice principal of the Royal Magic Academy of Feis.

"You, why aren't you staying in your Magic Workshop anymore? If you're bored of it, you can lend it to me," said Odysseus jestingly.

He knew all too well how hard Yousef had worked to secure the Fifth Magic Workshop, even asking him, the vice principal, to put in a word for him.

After all, aside from the First Magic Workshop, which the principal used consistently, the facilities of the second to fifth Magic Workshops were all the same, equipped with Magic Intelligent Life and extremely precious, high-end magic research equipment.

As for the workshops numbered sixth and beyond, they were much poorer in comparison.

Due to the huge cost involved and the enormous amount of maintenance funds required, both the academy and kingdom were very strict about applications for the top five Magic Workshops.

Previously, only two vice principals, including Odysseus, possessed one of the top five Magic Workshops. Now there was an additional Magic Rune Master, Yousef.

But Yousef also paid a substantial price, committing to provide the kingdom with top-tier enchanted weapons and equipment every year.

"Oh, leave off, you already have the Third Magic Workshop, giving it to you would be pointless."

Yousef jokingly scolded him a few times, but it was all in good fun between friends.

However, Dalton nearby didn't share the good mood, speaking irritably to Yousef:

"Yousef, you rascal, what are you doing here again? The budget I approved for you is already exceeded!"

As the steward of the academy, Dalton Boggs had been utterly annoyed by Yousef recently; he had never seen such a persistent master.

This guy is really ridiculous.

Clearly, he's not short on money, but he loves to apply for funds. You say he even asks for the top-tier Magic Rune Burner; that's like being armed to the teeth.

And what's with applying for a toilet too? Is it because his butt's too big!

Yousef knew that he had annoyed him quite a bit before, but Dalton had never shortchanged him on what was due, so he thought Dalton was a pretty decent guy.

With a casual wave of his hand, Yousef said,

"Don't worry, I didn't come here today to apply for funds. Can you help me retrieve a student's information card?"

When Dalton heard that Yousef wasn't here for funds, he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face, saying,

"Are you taking on a disciple? I wonder which student caught your eye. I remember you only have Bernie as a disciple right now."

In the Royal Magic Academy, each enrolled student is provided with an identity information card, which records their basic information including their courses, their proficient magic categories, and their Mage Rank. This is a measure by the Kingdom to better control the domestic mages.

If a teacher comes to retrieve a student's information card, it generally means one thing, they are preparing to officially take on that student as a disciple and update the relevant information on the student's information card.

This also signifies that both the academy and the Kingdom have recognized the master-apprentice relationship between the two.

Yousef stroked his short beard, smiling as he said,

"Pretty good, almost on the same level as Bernie."

In fact, Yousef was dying to brag about how outstanding Lis was and how proud he made him, but since their relationship hadn't been confirmed yet, and Little Lis also said he didn't want to reveal the existence of the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune for the time being, Yousef had to reluctantly restrain himself a bit longer.

"Okay, what's the name of the student you're looking for?"

Dalton said with a smile, as long as it wasn't about funds, anything was fine. If Yousef wanted to take on another disciple at the academy, he was naturally all for it.

In general, such cases required both the teacher and the student to be present ​​for confirmation, but Dalton didn't delve too deeply into it.

How could a student eyed by Yousef, a Magic Rune Master, evoke any other response but agreement?

Odysseus, watching from the side, stayed silent. Although he was also here to take on a disciple today, he hadn't noticed anything amiss and was actually a bit curious about the disciple Yousef wanted to take on.

But his curiosity soon faded.

"Lis Kain, should have enrolled about seven or eight years ago, hurry up and help me look for him."

Hearing the name Lis from Yousef's mouth, Dalton's expression turned a bit odd.

Is this the same Lis I heard about ten minutes ago?

What, the disciple you're taking on is also named Lis?

Dalton looked towards Odysseus, seated opposite him, and noticed that the face of the vice-chancellor had also changed.

"What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Yousef, seeing Dalton's prolonged inaction, asked curiously.

"There's no problem on my end."

Dalton waved his hand and pointed at Odysseus, saying,

"If it is that Court Viscount Lis Kain you're referring to, his information card isn't with me anymore. It's with him."

Yousef's expression changed and he looked in the direction Dalton was pointing.
