52 Chapter 52
Nicholas stepped forward and patted Andrew and Nason on the shoulder intimately.
This move finally broke the last trace of luck of everyone.
The three of them, Jack, John, and George, who had been mocking Andrew just now, had a face as ugly as a frosted eggplant.
‘Nicholas called the loser apprentice.
Were you kidding me?
That kind of waste was taught by Nicholas, the tutor mage!
It’s impossible. There must be something wrong!’
However, Andrew didn’t care what they thought.
“Teacher, this is my father, Thomas A Bernard.”
Then he turned to his father, who was about to dislocate his chin, and introduced, “Father, this is my tutor, the director of Lion Eagle Mage Academy: Director Nicholas.”
Thomas hurriedly stretched out his hand in fear and said, “You… Hello, Mr. Director. Thank you for taking care of my son.”
It was the first time that Thomas had seen a big shot like the tutor mage. He was in a panic.
But Nicholas was unexpectedly kind.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Thomas warmly. “Are you Andrew’s father? I should thank you for raising such an excellent child.”
“I’ve been in the magic world for so many years and I’ve been so many students in the world.”
“But Andrew is one of the best disciples I have ever accepted.
Hearing this, everyone’s trace of luck was completely shattered.
The best apprentice of all..
The powerful man wouldn’t talk too much on any occasion.
But now Nicholas spoke highly of Andrew in public.
Thomas was stunned for two minutes.
He pinched his thigh to make sure it was not a dream.
The legendary Nicholas was praising his son.
Nicholas was also excited. He said, “Andrew was indeed a loser in his first year of school.”
“But through his efforts, he had achieved today’s result step by step.”
“To be honest, it didn’t matter what would happen to him in the future. Even if he didn’t make progress all his life now, with his current strength, it was more than enough for him to stay in the duke family.”
Thomas still couldn’t believe it was true. He asked anxiously, “Sir, Andrew… How is my son now?”
“You mean level?”
“Yes.”
Nicholas thought for a while and said, “Magic power has been tested to be over 230 last time. I don’t know how it is now. You can ask himself.”
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
The first grade was not over yet, but magic power was already 230?
Was that possible?
Thomas looked at his son in astonishment, as if he didn’t know him at all. “Son… Is this true?”
Andrew nodded, “Ah, it’s 230 last month.”
“Then why didn’t you tell it to dad?”
“You didn’t ask.”
Seeing Andrew’s calm face, Thomas felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of taste in his heart.
It turned out that his calmness was not to endure but to disdain.
He snapped at Jack not because he was reckless, but because he was confident.
His son did a good job!
Tears welled up in an instant.
Thomas, a duke, cried in front of everyone.
In one’s life, there were only three good things.
Wedding, childbirth, and… saw his son being excellent.
Thomas, of course, had experienced the first two.
Now, the third good thing finally came to an end.
Back then, under great pressure, he spent a lot of money to send his son to Lion Eagle Mage Academy.
Back then, everyone tried to persuade him, but it was in vain. He didn’t listen to them.
Even though he had to bear the criticism of others every day and felt as if a knife were piercing his heart, Thomas always believed that his son would be a good man.
But now, everything was paid back.
Thomas burst into tears.
At this moment, he felt that his life was perfect. God did not fail him.
Even if he died now, he could still go to hell with a smile?
Looking at his father’s tearful face, Andrew felt what a father’s love was.
Nicholas stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Andrew has been working hard. That’s exactly what he relied on for his achievements today.”
“I think the reason why he works so hard is that he doesn’t want to disappoint you, right?”
“Now, you can rest assured.”
“I can assure you that Andrew’s future and achievements will not be inferior to mine.”
A tutor mage, pointing at a young man, said that his future achievements would not be inferior to his.
What a highly regarded!
Just this evaluation alone was enough to be called valuable.
Anyone who could get the evaluation of a tutor mage, regardless of his talent, would be accepted by the country.
Even if this child suddenly lost his talent and became a loser, it was worthwhile for the country to raise him for free. In a dozen years, he would become a deterrent to other countries.
Therefore, the mage of the upper class, especially the tutor mage, would never easily praise a person.
No one dared to look down upon Andrew.
Those who had mocked Andrew felt so regretful.
“If I helped him when everyone mocked him just now, maybe I could win his favor?”
If that was the case, he would be able to attract a potential mage.
Now…
But Jack, the leader of the three students of the Dragon Mage Academy, didn’t think so.
He stared at Andrew, gritting his teeth.
Impossible!
Last year, our school organized Lion Eagle Mage Academy for an internship. I met Andrew.
That waste was beyond description.
How could he become strong so fast?
There must be something wrong.
Money?
Yes, money!
Duke Thomas was the richest man in Hundred Flower Empire, to a certain extent, richer than the king.
He must have bribed Director Nicholas to act in this play in order not to embarrass the duke.
It must be like this!
What’s more, he didn’t graduate from grade one, but his magic power was more than 230. That was impossible.
Thinking of this, Jack looked at Andrew coldly.
The dinner party went on after all this.
Andrew had become strong and his future was limitless.
It could be foreseen that the Duke Bernard family would be more prosperous in the future.
The aristocrats who didn’t take part in the ridicule just now all tried their best to curry favor with him.
The aristocrats, whether they were to Andrew or Thomas, had an unprecedented enthusiasm.
Andrew’s focus was on how to deal with Signa and Rachel.
The two girls held his hands, one on the left and the other on the right. Neither of them wanted to separate.
Signa wanted to invite Andrew to have dinner as an apology.
On the other hand, Rachel hoped that Andrew would go to Vulture mountain to have dinner with her.
The two of them kept talking, which made Andrew’s head spin.
Seeing this scene, many noblemen could do nothing but grind their teeth in anger.
Seeing this scene, Thomas smiled with satisfaction.
Polygamy was allowed in Hundred Flower Empire.
Looking at the two famous beauties who were about to fight for Andrew, Thomas seemed to see the scene that his son would have many children in the future.
The dinner went on smoothly.
In the future, Thomas planned to build a passage that would go straight to King City and accelerate the water trade of the whole country.
That was the real reason why the water project contest was held.
He needed to gather more money and straighten out his connections.
Thanks to what had happened just now, the business invitation of the banquet was very smooth, and some aristocrats passing by on the way also expressed their support.
It was ten o’clock.
It was time to deal with the last problem.
Thinking of this, Thomas picked up two glasses of champagne and knocked them gently. “Everyone, be quiet. Let’s discuss the treatment of griffins.”
