Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Mary Fate: Me Becoming His Lover? Father: Great! Great!

The entire academy was in an uproar.

The place was buzzing with excitement.

Even before Luo Sheng’s class had started, everyone was already eagerly anticipating his arrival, his popularity skyrocketing instantly.

After all, the temptation Luo Sheng offered was too great.

What did owning these mounts mean?

It meant their strength could be further enhanced. Especially since there weren’t many beast tamers in the royal capital Tripoli to begin with. Even if someone sold mounts, they were far inferior in strength compared to the magical beasts Luo Sheng had brought out.

The reason was that powerful magical beasts were difficult to tame, and the manpower cost was extremely high.

Therefore, people were more willing to purchase low-level magical beasts, or raise them from cubs, which resulted in generally low-level mounts in this magical world.

A mount like Acoley’s dragon was simply unimaginable.

Luo Sheng looked at the enthusiastic gazes of everyone and casually said, “Alright, this practical combat course is over. Although none of you passed, I’ve clearly seen your true abilities. Let’s consider this a warm-up exercise.”

After saying this, Luo Sheng left without looking back.

He didn’t give the students a chance to offer their opinions.

Because he had another class to teach.

Old man Hunter was squeezing him like a machine, scheduling 5 or 6 classes in a single day, amounting to 20 to 30 classes in a week.

He was being squeezed to the absolute limit.

Each class had at least 2 practical combat courses per week.

Luo Sheng even suspected he had become a physical education teacher.

Of course, Luo Sheng hoped for a subject teacher to come and take over his classes, so he could relax.

At this moment.

On the rooftop, Mr. Hunter.

He had just returned to his office not long ago when an old man came to visit.

Hunter said with a relaxed expression, “Principal, what can I do for you?”

“Hahaha, I’m very interested in the young man you recruited. I didn’t expect you to have such skills, quietly recruiting such a special instructor,” the principal said.

He watched Luo Sheng leave step by step.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

Hunter stroked his beard, “Isn’t that right? With this young man here, the students from our academy won’t be like sick cats anymore.”

“Indeed, the academy hasn’t been this lively for too long. It was like stagnant water before.”

Hunter suddenly thought of something and said, “With him causing such a commotion, I’m afraid the royal family will also discuss it, especially those ministers. They might covet Acoley’s giant dragon and Luo Sheng’s abilities.”

“Yes…” The principal sighed, this was a very tricky matter.

Then the principal said, “I’ll try to keep them at bay. This young man is definitely not one to be taken advantage of. If he falls into the hands of the ministers, I’m afraid a big fight will be unavoidable.”

“That’s what I was thinking too.”

Hunter strongly agreed with his statement.

The kingdom’s ministers were basically sophisticated egoists who wouldn’t consider the lives of others.

In their eyes, the academy was nothing but a tool.

If Luo Sheng was recruited by the academy, he would have to contribute endlessly to the entire kingdom, as this was the kingdom’s grace to them.

In short, they had the face of capitalists.

I give you a little money, you give me your entire life, this is my reward to you.

After their casual chat, they returned to their respective posts.

As time passed.

Luo Sheng’s reputation in the school continued to ferment.

From a newly appointed instructor, he leaped to become the most popular instructor in the academy. Of course, what everyone valued more was the large number of powerful mounts Luo Sheng possessed.

The news that Luo Sheng was a powerful beast tamer.

It spread like wildfire.

It quickly spread throughout the royal capital Tripoli, and many nobles as well as commoners in the streets and alleys knew about this.

Mary Fate returned home exhausted.

She was greeted by her father’s curious gaze.

Mary Fate pouted and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Hehehe…” Her father rubbed his palms and asked, “I heard that a new instructor has come to your academy, a powerful beast tamer, and he’s prepared to reward outstanding students with mounts.”

“Mm, what about it?”

“Nothing, just wondering if you could establish a relationship with him.”

Mary Fate asked puzzled, “What good would that do?”

Her father spoke frankly, “Establishing a relationship would definitely be a good thing. Think about it, if he’s willing to sell us mounts, and we resell them later, how lucrative would that profit be? If we could be the exclusive agent, it’s not impossible for us to become the richest in Tripoli.”

Although he was a fallen noble, his face was full of businessman’s expressions.

Mary Fate listened to her father’s explanation.

Her expression became complicated.

She didn’t know what to say.

Then she said, “Don’t think too much, father. Why would he give us anything? Unless your daughter becomes his wife, then it might be possible.”

“Great, that’s a very good idea.” Her father immediately slapped his thigh, his expression excited.

Mary Fate turned her head, her eyes staring at her father.

Her face was even more displeased.

“Ahem!” Seeing her expression and his own inappropriate action, her father immediately lowered his head and coughed, then said, “I was just joking, how could father bear to marry you off?”

“Hmph.” Mary Fate glared at him reproachfully.

Then she dropped the bombshell, “Don’t even think about it, he’s Acoley’s boyfriend, and also the gentleman who gave us exclusive agency for artworks.”

Her father, hearing this, didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed.

He lightly slapped his thigh, “What a pity.”

Obviously, he was disappointed that Luo Sheng had a girlfriend, otherwise, his daughter could have married Luo Sheng.

At that time, with such a deep connection, what resources wouldn’t they be able to get?

Especially since Luo Sheng was also an instructor at the academy, with multiple identities, his power was often greater than that of ordinary nobles.

Mary Fate glared at her father resentfully.

“Hmph! You’re so eager for your daughter to get married, right? Then I’ll go be his mistress!”

After saying this, Mary Fate left very depressed.

“Eh! That’s not what I meant…”

Her father wanted to persuade her to stay.

Unfortunately, Mary Fate left without looking back.

Meanwhile, in other noble households.

Many students also mentioned the situation at the academy.

For example, a new instructor was just recruited today.

This immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Of course, there were also some students complaining, saying things like “This course is too strict, it left me covered in injuries, I suspect that instructor is deliberately abusing students.”

Such voices were not few.

After all, although the Royal Magic Academy was a national magic university, it was inevitable that some nobles would use backdoor methods to get children of officials and nobles in.

Even though the principal and Mr. Hunter tried their best to suppress such situations.

It was still difficult to avoid completely.

However, some nobles, just as the principal and Mr. Hunter had thought, began to set their sights on Luo Sheng.

Especially since Luo Sheng possessed those powerful mounts.

Of course, that’s a story for later.

At this moment, Acoley was contentedly returning to that restaurant with Luo Sheng for a candlelit dinner.

“I didn’t expect this restaurant to have a different atmosphere at night,” Acoley said, her face beaming with happiness.

Luo Sheng also took a fresh look at the entire restaurant.

This Eastern special restaurant, besides several magical items emitting light, also had a large number of candles.

After the light reflected off the gold foil on the ceiling, the entire restaurant was resplendent.

It looked appetizing.

Luo Sheng placed a large piece of steak in front of her. “Eat more, your consumption today was quite enormous.”

“Mm, thank you.”

Acoley suddenly became tender.

She tucked her hair behind her ear, her smooth and flowing red hair hanging gracefully.

She skillfully cut the steak, at first imitating Luo Sheng’s gentlemanly actions, then said emotionally:

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have such a living environment today. However, I still want to apologize to you. Perhaps I’ve become too indulgent here and forgotten the path forward. Thankfully you reminded me, and I’m sorry for the hard work you’ve put into cultivating me during this time.”

Acoley blinked her clear and bright eyes, gazing at Luo Sheng, apologizing very sincerely.

Luo Sheng felt gratified.

He nodded and said, “I accept your apology.”

Then he added, “But I also have my faults. I should have anticipated such things happening when I sent you here. It was my oversight.”

“Um…”

Acoley suddenly wanted to say something, but stopped as the words reached her lips…

Luo Sheng looked at her puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Acoley hesitated for a while, but finally said, “Well, there are so many excellent girls in the academy, with good family backgrounds too. Would you consider them…”

Luo Sheng’s expression became a bit helpless.

He reached out and flicked her little forehead, “What do you take me for?”

Acoley covered her forehead, “Isn’t it? Mary Fate said that men change their hearts when they become rich, even become playboys, or abandon their original wives to marry someone better.”

As she spoke, her tone lowered.

Luo Sheng shook his head, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. As the saying goes, ‘One should not mistreat the wife who has shared his hardships.'”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that the wife who can accompany you through poverty and wealth is the most important.”

“But Mary Fate’s father was like that. When he was rich, he kept several mistresses outside.”

“He is he, and I am I. We are different. Moreover, what if one day Mary Fate wants to become my mistress?”

Luo Sheng stared at her, speaking frankly.

He had always felt that Mary Fate was a bit off.

In any case, she harbored some specific fantasy about him, especially when he showed enough charm, this idea became even stronger.

Acoley lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a moment, she said, “I can see that too… But actually, I don’t mind that much. After all, she has been taking care of me and helping me all this time since I came here.

Even when I first arrived and didn’t have much money, she helped me find commission tasks to get through the tight financial situation.”

Hearing Acoley’s words, Luo Sheng also lowered his head, “It was my oversight. I didn’t expect that the royal capital Tripoli would require so much money. The prices here are too high.”

Acoley looked up at him, “If one day Mary Fate falls on hard times, would you take her in?”

“That depends on what you think,” Luo Sheng pushed it back to her, “Of course, I don’t want anyone to ruin our relationship. After all, you are more important than them. However, if you’re willing to accept it, I have no objections.”
