Strongest Mage with the Lust system

…Mission hall…

After the Elder had assigned Max a mission, he took out a hexagonal crystal.

After pouring his Mana into it, he whispered, “Little brother, I’ve assigned that guy a mid-tier silver-ranked mission as you requested. I hope you can ask the young master to give me the promised reward.”

“Rest assured, Elder. Young master Dalton won’t forget your help.” A voice responded a few moments later.

In another part of the Cloud academy, a man took out his hexagonal crystal and said, “Young master, the target has been assigned a silver….”

“After young master Dalton fulfills his promise, I’ll be able to progress further into the early-stage three-star realm and won’t be a weakling among the Elders.” The Elder sitting at the mission counter murmured before starting to assign missions to other disciples.

Before the mortal boundary, the four-star realm, the three-star realm was also considered a small boundary. After someone became a three-star mage, their strength would multiply at least dozens of times, and they would be able to awaken their aura.

However, it was similarly many times harder to progress in it.

A two-star mage needed to have ten thousand Mana units to reach the peak of the realm, whereas a three-star mage needed fifty thousand Mana units, which had to be at least ten times purer and more condensed._.

If someone with average talent were to cultivate without the help of any resource, they could easily take decades to reach the peak of three-star or might not be able to reach it at all.

In the Cloud academy, Elder had different positions and statuses based on their strength and contribution to the academy.

The Elder who had to do daily tasks such as assigning missions were at the bottom and would receive fewer resources.

Therefore, when he was offered some resources to help him progress, he was immediately tempted and agreed to help.

…

Half an hour late, suddenly, four figures approached one of the mission counters.

The Elder frowned and angrily shouted, “Can’t you see the line? How dare you directly come here? Disciplinary disciple, throw these unruly-“

While yelling, the Elder raised his head to glare at the disciples who dared to cut the line and suddenly stopped shouting when he noticed Max among them and secretly sweated.

“Elder, we aren’t here to take up any mission but to complain,” Leticia said in a loud voice.

“Hm?” The commotion attracted the disciples, disciplinary disciples, and Elders in the hall.

The Elder had an ugly expression noticing this but instantly calmed down.

“What complain?” He asked coldly and released his yet-to-completely form aura toward Leticia and others.

Ugh!

Although his aura wasn’t fully formed yet, it could still easily suppress Leticia and others.

Step!

Max stepped forward and stood in front, shielding them from Elder’s aura. Leticia, who was in front, sighed in relief while the Elder raised his brow, seeing that his aura wasn’t effective against him.

Max noticed every change in the Elder’s expression before calmly saying, “Elder, the mission you assigned me is a mid-tier silver-ranked mission that requires me to do it alone. I think you’ve made a mistake, so I request you assign me another mission.”

“What? He is assigned such a mission.”

“Isn’t that just suicidal? How can a single two-star mage can do it?”

Immediately chaos broke out among disciples, and the other Elder in charge of handing out mission also frowned.

“There is no mistake here. I assigned it based on your capabilities. You are already a peak two-star mage, and your perforce in the outing was outstanding.” The Elder said calmly.

He then added in a stern and loud voice, “If disciples like you started to cower from such missions, people would look down on our Cloud academy.”

After saying this, he looked towards the other Elders, who nodded their heads since his reasoning was correct.

Sigh!

Max sighed, seeing this. He had realized that what Belen had guessed was indeed true. This Elder was targeting him.

But Max frowned thinking this. He hadn’t met this Elder before, so why would he do something like this?

“How can you be so sham-” Leticia couldn’t control herself and was about to curse at the Elder when Max raised his hand and stopped her from speaking. He knew if she cursed at an Elder, she would be punished, which he didn’t want.

After that, he looked at the Elder deeply and said in a voice low enough for only the Elder in front to hear, “I hope there isn’t any other reason behind this, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

“Hm?” The Elder felt cold when he noticed the murderous look in Max’s eyes. But he didn’t retort and only scoffed in his heart. 

“Let’s go.” After saying what he wanted, Max led Leticia and others out of the hall.

…

“How can he be so shameless? He is obviously targeting you.” Leticia clenched her tiny fists in anger.

Rima and Belen also had worried expressions. They were worried that he would be attacked the moment he left the academy.

Max noticed their worries, and his heart warmed. It was a blessing to have people who genuinely care for you.

“Don’t worry. As long as there isn’t a three-star mage targeting me, I’ll be fine.” Max patted Leticia’s shoulder.

“I know. B-but I’m still worried.” Leticia said. She knew how strong he was and could fight almost any two-star mage. If he couldn’t, then he could easily escape, but her heart wasn’t able to calm down.

Max didn’t know what he should say to comfort her.

Then suddenly, his eyes twinkled. He looked at Rima, and Belen said, “You guys start preparing to set out; Leticia will join you later.”

Whoosh!

Before they could react, he grabbed Leticia’s hand and whooshed toward her dorm room.

Belen and Rima looked at each other with envy flashing in their eyes. This was especially true for Belen.

They knew that he was going to ‘comfort’ Leticia.
