SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Because I fed you until you were 8. I took care of you until last week. Who do you think will come for you if you steal someone\'s money or rob a house?" Thea asked in an angry tone while controlling her volume to avoid unnecessary atttion from nearby fighters at the raised platform.

"You don\'t need to worry about that. I didn\'t rob others. Also, do you care about me now? If the answer is yes, call me hubby in front of all others. Otherwise, stop bothering me. You lost every right on me wh kicked me out." Kt spoke in a serious tone while staring into Thea\'s fluttering eyes.

Thea became silt as she couldn\'t reply to his question. After two minutes of deep silce, Kt mounted on his Fire Kirin to leave.

"Kt, withdraw from the competition. You are not a match for Arul. He practiced \'A\' rank combat spells. At least list to me this once." Thea spoke with concern, trying to protect Kt from humiliation in the ara.

"Don\'t worry about me. I know my limits. Your husband is not a weak man like before." Kt replied with a serious look and flew away from the g.

Thea stood like a statue in the cter of the ara, staring at the Fire Kirin in the sky. She felt a differt feeling wh Kt spoke the last stce.

Just as Kt left, the ara barrier oped, and the disciples rushed to meet their favorite fighters. Most of them ran towards Mia Snow, who stood on the raised platform.

"Elder Thea, where did that new young master go? Do you know his name?" Sior sister Mo, who came to congratulate Kt, asked Thea, as Kt had already left. Along with Mo Z, several other young ladies came to find the idtity of Kt.

"He is Kt, who used to be in third grade. Don\'t you guys already know him?" Thea was questioned with a confused look.

"Do you believe me now?!" Luna cried out from the mob in a loud tone.

Kt, after leaving the ara, didn\'t go home. He reached the training gs of the school and reserved an aura room until the eving. After paying 50 bronze coins, Kt picked up the key stone and tered room number 3. [Due to the increased duration he paid 50 coins unlike 5 last time.]

"The competition is just five days away, and practicing the 99 arrows is an impossible task. It\'s better if I choose a few good spell arrows and practice them to perfection." Kt muttered while oping the 99 arrows of the Arcane Tome.

With a sigh, he began reading the names and descriptions of all the arrows first. Also, he picked a long feather and cloth note to write down the names of a few powerful and less-time-taking spell arrows to master for the upcoming competition.

As he worked, the hours seemed to slip away, the passage of time unnoticed in his singular focus. The soft glow of the aura room veloped him like a cocoon, shielding him from the outside world as he dove deeper into his studies.

The tall, slder young man sat in front of the imposing mansion on a leaning chair. He exuded an air of nonchalance, fanning himself leisurely with his colorful hand fan. He is Red Fox, a notorious figure in the silver leaf city\'s betting gang, known for his cunning ideas.

A stout young man, dressed tirely in black, panted heavily as he reached the red fox with a worried face. "Boss Fox, the guy named Kt Clark won the gold flag in combat matching. He chose young master Arul as his oppont in the first of the competition." Blackie said while gasping for air.

Red Fox raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable as he processed the information. Before he could respond, another figure, dressed in pristine , came running towards the mansion, his breath ragged from his sprint.

"Brother Red Fox, fatty B, is celebrating in the Spring Rain Club. He\'s shouting Kt\'s name like a madman."

Red Fox yawned lazily, as he didn\'t consider the news a real problem. His lips curled into a sly smile as he waved off their urgt news with a lazy flick of his hand.

"You two, stop worrying unnecessarily and fetch me some wine." Red Fox said it in a drowsy tone.

Blackie oped his mouth to protest, but Red Fox silced him with a commanding gesture. "I already know what happed. You guys, stop worrying about Kt. He\'s just a 6th class Magus. Competing against young master Arul is nothing but a death stce for Kt."

A gleam of amusemt danced in Red Fox\'s eyes as he leaned back in his chair, fanning himself with rewed vigor. "So, stop worrying and gather all your reserve money. We\'re going to drain Fatty B\'s wealth in this competition."

Turning to his loyal associates, Blackie and Whitey, Red Fox\'s smile wided with a hint of mischief. "Boss, we both already gathered 50 golds for the competition."

"That\'s not ough!" Red Fox sat straight as he stared at Blackie with a serious look. "This time we have a gold opportunity to crush the fatty B. So, 50 gold won\'t be ough." Red Fox declared, keeping his fan aside.

Boss, what do you mean? 50 gold is a lot. Also, with the addition of your 50 gold, we will have 0 gold in total. That\'s a large sum for any one silver leaf city." Blackie said it in a surprised tone.

"Do you all forget Fatty B\'s family backg? Hundred gold won\'t be ough to bankrupt him, and this is the only chance we have, as Kt would definitely lose in the first battle.

So, we must plan correctly to defeat Fatty B and make him withdraw from gambling. Th we all can monopolize the future of gambling." Red Fix announced his plan with an ambitious smile.

Both Blackie and Whitey stood in a shocked state after hearing Red Fox\'s ambition. "Boss, you are really a gius. I never had this idea of monopolizing gambling in Silver Leaf City. You are truly great." Blackie directly bowed to show his respect.

"Yes, boss, you\'re really thinking of a brilliant plan to finish Gold Rat\'s gambling career." Whitey added with a wide grin.

"We\'re going to need more capital to make this plan work," Red Fox began, his voice low and conspiratorial. "And we need 500 gold to bury fatty B in debt."

Blackie\'s eyes wided in surprise, while Whitey nodded in understanding. "Boos, that\'s impossible. 500 gold is too much for any of our families."

"But how do we convince the Wizard Bank to ld us such a large sum?" Whitey asked, his brow furrowing in thought.

"Don\'t worry about the capital. Contact Paul Sem; he will help us with the capital. Ev though it is a lot of money for him, his powerful wand will fetch a loan for us from the Goblin bank." Red Fox declared while staring at the horizon with a triumphant smile.

"Boss, what if Paul Sem refused to help us?" Blackie asked with a confused face.

Red Fox\'s smile wided as he revealed his plan. "We\'ll offer him a deal he can\'t refuse. We\'ll promise a cut of the winnings from the gambling, along with interest, of course. Once he hears about Kt, he will automatically agree to our request."

Blackie\'s eyes gleamed with excitemt, while Whitey nodded in approval. It was a risky plan, but if successful, it would pay off handsomely.
