He walked to the school as he wanted to directly hand in the document to quit the school.

Since he couldn't meet the principal immediately, he walked to the teacher's office and met Rai.

To his surprise, Rai's face was filled with annoyance as he said,

"Again?

"

"Huh?

" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"What do you mean, Teacher Rai?

"

"Let me guess, you are going to quit the school?

" Rai sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

His voice took the attention of the remaining teachers who didn't have any class to teach during this period.

They obviously recognized Theo's face and Rai's shout just made them understand what was going on.

"I am afraid I need to quit the school to progress even further.

" Theo shook his head.

"Do you think the teachers in our school are incompetent?

" Rai asked with a serious expression.

"Of course not. However, I already have a mentor to train my strength and leaving the school can make me progress even faster.

" Theo shook his head.

"I am sorry that I need to leave right after the competition, but this is my decision. According to the school rule, no one can force me to stay.

"

The teachers furrowed their eyebrows.

Knowing that it was better to avoid any more scenes in the teacher's room, Rai rose from his chair and said with a tired tone.

"Come with me. We are going to meet the principal and explain your situation.

"

Theo nodded and followed him to the principal room.

"Principal, it's me.

"

"You again?

" The principal's surprised voice echoed from behind the door as he had the same reaction as Rai.

Rai didn't care about his reaction and opened the door, coming inside the room.

Theo followed right behind him.

The moment Principal Eigen saw Theo's face, he couldn't help but facepalm, feeling stressed.

"Seriously… Let me guess, you are going to quit school.

"

"Yes.

" Theo nodded with a serious expression.

Eigen let out a long sigh and his face was distorted as if he had aged more than a few years today. He pointed to the seat on the opposite side of his desk.

"Sit down. Let's talk.

"

"I will leave then. Tell me the result later.

" Rai sighed and quickly walked out of the room, not wanting to bother with this matter anymore.

Eigen, on the other hand, had a grim expression. He looked Theo in the eyes and asked,

"I won't beat around the bush. Is it possible to convince you to stay in the school? At least until you complete your first year? You don't need to stay in school and can do anything you want.

"

Theo looked at the principal and smiled as though he had something in his mind. Instead of answering Eigen's question, Theo asked him back.

"I won't beat around the bush too. I have brought honor to this country and the school. Do you think it's rather impolite if you don't give me any reward?

"

"…

" Eigen squinted his eyes and released a bit of pressure.

"There's no need to use this kind of pressure.

" Theo shook his head.

"Unfortunately for you, I am not afraid of the school. Besides, I have gotten a reward from the government while I don't get anything from you. Don't you think it's rather cheap if the school doesn't give me anything?

"

Eigen understood what he was implying. If the school didn't give him the reward, his reputation would be ruined. Although he had great hope for the teams, he still doubted they could do it at first.

It was only after Theo led the team to victory that he finally started to believe.

"Of course. I have prepared it for you. Unfortunately, the school is not as big as the government. We can only give you 500,000 Zils. This is already our upper limit, so we will exchange the rest with Skill or Material Cards of your choice. What you can get right now is two C Rank Cards.

"

Theo narrowed his eyes and said without hesitation.

"I already know what kind of skills I want. I can choose it immediately.

"

The principal gritted his teeth and continued,

"The catalog has yet to arrive, so I can't give it to you right now. You can go back after three days.

"

Eigen was planning to buy time with this play, so Theo didn't hold back anymore.

"Can I exchange the cards with money?

"

"No.

" Eigen harrumphed.

"Then I don't need the card.

" Theo shook his head.

"All I need is the money and for you to handle my matter.

"

Eigen shook his head calmly, even though he was already fuming in anger inside.

"We can't let you walk away with half of the reward since we don't want to be rude. How about you go back first and return three days later?

"

"Then I don't need the reward too.

" Theo shook his head. He had gotten a total of 35 million Zils from both the Government and Laust anyway. With the additional reward from Nart, he wouldn't care about this kind of reward.

"!!!

"

Theo smiled and muttered inwardly, 'I think you don't realize that the one who has the initiative in this conversation is me… Also, you are too stingy with the reward, even though you are trying to make me stay for free publication. I won't do that, especially since the school didn't help me when I was bullied. The military is more trustworthy than school.'

Knowing that this was the time to attack, Theo said with a cold tone.

"All I want is one thing. It is for the school to process my matter.

"

"And I don't accept that.

"

"You can't stop me from quitting the school unless you are planning to challenge the school rule, which has been adjusted by the presence of the government.

"

"The principal has the right to have the last say in the school's matter.

" Eigen shook his head.

"I think you don't understand your current position. If this matter is known to the public, the reputation will be destroyed.

"

"And it will be solved as long as you stay here.

" Eigen released all his Magic Power, pressuring Theo.

"Let me ask you again. Are you sure you want to do this?

" Theo's expression turned grim.

"Do you think the public will know your action if I say you are focusing on your training here?

"

"Try it and see whether it will go your way or not.

" Theo smiled evilly.

"I give you one last chance. Give me the reward and process my matter. Else, this school will be destroyed along with your career.

"
