Chapter 122: Geli Haileier

~7 min read 1,337 words

"Who is Gao De?"

Just as Gao De finished enjoying his "special" lunch and was preparing to stand up and leave, someone suddenly asked loudly at the entrance of the restaurant.

The person's voice was very loud, instantly suppressing the noisy private whispers in the restaurant.

Everyone, including Gao De, turned their heads to look at the entrance of the restaurant.

A tall and thin young man with a rich appearance, wearing an academy uniform robe, was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the restaurant.

His gaze was unusually sharp, carrying a kind of inexplicable pressure, and few people dared to look directly at him.

"It's Alchemy Department Chief Geli Haileier looking for someone, but what does he mean by this look of looking for trouble?" Gao De heard someone whispering on the side.

Geli Haileier... Gao De chewed this name in his heart.

He had heard the first name for the first time, but this surname was unusually familiar.

While everyone was still guessing what Geli Haileier was looking for that person named Gao De, Gao De already had some guesses in his heart.

Just at this moment, Geli Haileier's gaze had already swept over everyone in the restaurant.

And in this process, he seemed to have locked onto his target.

His sharp gaze finally fell on Gao De, and then, under everyone's gaze, he walked straight to Gao De's dining table.

Gao De stood up, his brows slightly furrowed.

The comer is not good, the good comer does not come.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are that Gao De, right?" Geli Haileier asked.

"You found the wrong person." Gao De replied.

After saying this, he turned and left.

Seeing Gao De turn and leave, Geli Haileier was obviously stunned, clearly not expecting Gao De to make such a reaction at all.

Until Gao De had walked several steps and was about to leave the restaurant, Geli Haileier reacted.

His face turned ugly for a few points, and he walked a few quick steps to block Gao De's path again.

He looked at Gao De with disdain.

"No wonder you are a country bumpkin who came in through the back door with a recommendation letter, not even daring to admit your own name."

"How do you have the qualifications to study with me at the Sairisi Magic Academy?"

Geli Haileier's voice was not lowered, or rather, it was deliberately amplified.

Once this sentence was spoken, plus the other students in the restaurant were already in a "melon-eating" state, paying attention to the actions of the two.

Almost everyone heard Geli Haileier's words and also knew Gao De's background.

Gao De looked expressionlessly at Geli Haileier who blocked his path, "First of all, regarding whether I have the qualifications to study at the Sairisi Magic Academy, you have no qualifications to decide."

He continued very calmly: "Also, my name is indeed Gao De, but I am not the only one with this name."

"Just like you are called Geli, in my countryside, there is also a mongrel dog called Geli, who is very close to me and will always bark to find me, but I won't think you are it."

"I only know the mongrel dog called Geli, I don't know you, so the Gao De you are looking for shouldn't be me either."

Geli Haileier clearly never thought that Gao De would give such a reply, and also heard that Gao De was sarcastically calling him a "mongrel dog."

He was stunned in place for the first time, not knowing what to say.

But he was only stunned for a few seconds.

"Heh... really sharp-tongued." Geli Haileier sneered.

"As an old man in the academy, it seems very necessary to teach you newcomers some academy rules."

"The academy mentors will teach me the rules, so you don't need to meddle in other people's business." Even in an unfavorable position, Gao De's mouth was not forgiving, completely different from the "sensible" one when trading with Magic User Laer.

The reason was also very simple. The latter had a choice; if he was polite, he could exchange for Magic User Laer's politeness on the surface.

But facing this Geli Haileier, no matter if he was polite or not, he couldn't change the other party's hostility, so why be polite? What's more, Geli Haileier was ultimately just an old student.

How could the trouble he could bring him compare to Magic User Laer, a high-level academy official?

"The first principle I teach you is to maintain respect for the old." Geli Haileier was ultimately unable to step down because of Gao De's attitude and started to get angry.

"Your enrollment task is to submit 3000 kilograms of water-gold ore to the Alchemy Department." A clear and gnashing but only he could hear whisper suddenly came to Gao De's ear.

【Message】.

"A reminder: I happen to be the current chief of the Alchemy Department, and the matter of collecting and settling water-gold ore every day is within my scope of authority... You just watch."

Geli Haileier looked at Gao De with a contemptuous gaze, as if he had already seen the look of panic that was about to appear on his face.

Although even if he was the chief of the Alchemy Department, he had no right to void the water-gold ore Gao De submitted.

But in this process, it was still possible to add some trouble to Gao De.

For example, being strict when settling the water-gold ore Gao De submitted... Their Alchemy Department had requirements for the purity of water-gold ore used to manufacture test-magic puppets.

And about 20% of the water-gold ore submitted by new students did not meet this purity requirement.

That is to say, once strictly audited, Gao De would have to submit an extra 750 kilograms of water-gold ore to complete the enrollment task.

However, according to the tacit rules that the academy had always defaulted to, purity requirements were never taken into account when recycling water-gold ore submitted by new students.

How many kilograms of water-gold ore new students submit, that's how many kilograms are counted.

As long as it was dug out from the mine cave at the bottom of the cliff, and the weight was enough, it was fine.

After all, this enrollment task was primarily to hone new students, and water-gold ore could only be considered an extra bonus.

Moreover, once a new student completes the enrollment task, they will become a formal student.

And in the world of magic users, a year or two really doesn't count for anything.

That is to say, it is actually very common for old students to be surpassed by new students.

As the saying goes, "Don't bully the young for being poor."

As an old student, there was no need to offend a new student during the enrollment task, otherwise, it might be himself who would be unlucky in a few years.

"I'm so scared." Gao De moved his lips, making a reply.

It was just that this reply was also only heard by Geli.

For Geli Haileier's threat, Gao De appeared unusually calm.

Because Geli Haileier's threat to him was really ridiculous in his view.

However, from this matter, Gao De also got a message.

In the academy, the deterrent power of the rules was still very great.

"Students are not allowed to hurt each other."

This was one of the academy's rules.

So Geli Haileier didn't dare to have any actions outside the rules at all, and could only use this method to threaten him.

He didn't even dare to threaten him openly, but used means like 【Message】, fearing that others would hear it.

After giving his reply, Gao De didn't talk nonsense with Geli Haileier anymore and left the restaurant.

Completing the enrollment task was urgent.

For the formal magic user courses, he had long been impatient and didn't want to wait for even a moment!
