nGreenwood Academy is the number 1 Magic Academy in Greenwood City. Its backing was none other than the military itself. Hence, the Academy’s quality is obviously good

nThe Greenwood Academy has two types of students. The ones from great families that pay expensive tuition and the talented but poor students that were funded by the military

nThe students with a rich background even if they have the talent must still pay the expensive tuition fee

nThe scholars on the other hand although don’t need to pay the tuition but after they graduated, they must serve in the military for years

nWhether it be the rich or the scholar students they should still have both absorption and comprehension talents that are above their peers

nNeil is now a student of Rising Sage Academy but his talent was only at the level of ‘average’

nHe is not a monstrous genius or at least an ordinary genius

n“What did they do?” Rezen asks. Since Neil is his friend then depending on what happened, Rezen might pull some strings

nEven if Florine’s authority might not be enough Rezen still has Macy or the Preston Family’s Token of Gratitude. He might be able to give justice to his friend

n“I-it’s the mage from Ystantine Family! Rezen, you might not know it but your Spirit Plants are now famous inside the City!”

n“If not for Headmaster Florine’s help, my family might not last this long! Since we have your special variant of Spirit Plants, we can focus on learning magic theories, increasing our cultivation speed!”

n“That made the other academies and their students to be jealous of us! Fortunately, Headmaster Florine deterred those who have evil thoughts!”

n0)ᴠʟ Neil’s explanation made Rezen think that he should re-evaluate Florine.

nBecause of what happened with the ‘Macy incident’, his relationship with Florine soured a bit. He even extorted money from her as compensation

nAs Rezen is someone that almost doesn’t enter Greenwood City, he is not aware of what is happening inside. He was completely clueless. He doesn’t even know the progress of the Twighlight Beast’s raid

nTurns out that even without informing him, Florine is actually helping the people important to Rezen

nSeems like someone owes his apology

nConsidering the special characteristics of Rezen’s Spirit Plants, not being attacked by several forces was really unexpected when you think of it

n“Ystantine Family, who are they?” Rezen asks

nHe knows about the Greenwood Academy since it was his dream Academy in the past but he is not aware of all the influential families in his birth city

n“They are a very powerful mage family! Their standing is even higher than the Ceres Family!”

n“I was forced into participating in a duel with Umber Ystantine. I just want to cultivate in peace but that bastard beat me up and says that the Rising Sage Academy resources were wasted on someone like me!”

nNeil exclaimed aggrieved. This pair of best friends have the same personality

nAs much as possible, they just want to live in peace. Although Rezen is a clout chaser he also doesn’t want to earn enemies if it could be prevented

n“How is the strength of your enemy?” Rezen asks

n“We’re both at the 1st fusion rank but while I just reached this rank, that Umber is already at the peak causing me to lose miserably”

n“Only at that level? Come with me, I’ll make sure to make you stronger and you can beat that bastard!” Rezen said confidently

nWhat is a mere 1st fusion rank mage? With Rezen’s help, Neil would definitely be able to avenge himself soon

n——-

n“Yo, Six, you’re here!” Rezen said as soon as he had seen Six

nFrom Zero to five, they focused on Tattoo Warrior Path. As for Six to Ten, all of them focused on learning to be a mage

nSince the talent of these two was greater than Neil’s and also the special arrangements of Florine and Rain, they are already at the 2nd fusion rank

n“Master” Six greeted with a bow. His black pupils staring at Rezen in adoration

nSix have black eyes and hair. His element is also of the Darkness element

nOut of all the Artificial Humans that Rezen has, Six have the most feminine features. He looks really pretty to the point that Neil often says to him that if Six was a woman, he would marry him

nRezen can only laugh at that since Six is actually neither a man nor a woman

n“By the way, I have a proposal, Master” Six said seriously and Rezen nodded his head, indicating for the man to speak

n“Master, can I turn my schoolmates into Tattoo Warriors in exchange for mana stones?” Six suggested and Rezen patted him on the head

nThat is already one of Rezen’s plans as it was easy to create a Tattoo Warrior. If not for the side effects, maybe everyone would choose to be both a Tattoo Warrior and a Mage

n“Alright, I’ll allow that but you must explain to them the side effects. It’s even better if there’s a contract of consent or whatever”

nRezen’s original target market was the rich but talentless young masters except for Maze. Those that cannot obtain strength on their own and can only rely on Rezen

nThis would let him earn a lot of money while also forming more connections. And since it was just Tattoo Warriors, it wasn’t something that people would hunt Rezen for

nAfter all, although Tattoo Warriors are rare, not everyone wants to be one because of the risk of dying

n“Alright, let’s go” Rezen said while slapping Neil on his eyes to stop him from staring at Six

nRezen asked Six to meet him near the Ceres Family’s Mansion

nAlthough Six focuses on the mage path, if it’s a low-level Tattoo, he can still do it

nIt didn’t take that long for the trio to reach their destination. Since the guards were already informed, they immediately let the three enter

nRezen didn’t encounter the legendary ‘face-slapping plot’ this time as the guards didn’t make things difficult for him

nAs a fairly influential Family inside the Greenwood City, their Mansion was quite large and Rezen was guided inside a room where two people are already waiting

nOne of them is the kind uncle ‘Fierce Fire’ and the other was Maze himself

n“Big brother! You’re finally here!” Maze exclaimed happily. Rezen promised to make him stronger and Maze was excited about it

n“We meet again, please have a seat” Fierce Fire said with a polite smile and Rezen nodded his head as he sat down opposite the pair of father and son

nHe doesn’t know why but both Neil and Six stood behind him instead of sitting down. It kind of made him feel like some kind of mobster

n“First of all, I want to thank you for saving my son. We are greatly indebted to you” Fierce Fire said genuinely

nHis son is very important to him. If Maze dies, it’s like his life would collapse. He doesn’t want that to happen

n“Oh, that? I-it’s nothing hehe…” Rezen replied guiltily. After all, it was not his intent to save Maze

nIn fact, Rezen might not help if he didn’t realize that Maze’s attackers were members of Twighlight Beast as he has the attitude of not wanting to attract troubles

n“No matter what, this is a huge favor. If you want anything, I’ll try my best to help” Fierce Fire said seriously

nRezen has an urge to ask for money but he still has some shame. Instead of asking for it directly, he would do it in a ‘subtle’ way

n“Ooppss, sorry. I forgot to store it” Rezen said clumsily after a mana stone ‘accidentally’ fell out of his pocket

nThis is his ‘subtle’ way of asking for money as a compensation

n“Cough… cough… f-for saving my son, I’m willing to give you 300,000 mana stones” Fierce Fire said awkwardly

nHe had never seen a person as shameless as Rezen. How can a mana stone ‘accidentally’ fall out of his pocket?

nIn the first place, why does he have a mana stone there?

n“My friend is a scum” Neil thought after watching Rezen’s display

n“Hahaha, uncle doesn’t need to do that but if you insist then I can only reluctantly agree”

nFirst of all, when did Fierce Fire insist? And second of all, how can your smiling face be described as ‘reluctant’

n“A-anyway, m-moving on. I heard that you can help turn my son into a Tattoo Warrior and you can regularly remove the side effects?”

nIn that, Rezen nodded his head. “Yes, but it would cost some money. The starting price would be 20,000 mana stones”

nHe wants to give out a higher price but that would make him feel like a completely evil person

nAfter all, Rezen only need like ten mana stones to obtain a lottery ticket and use it to obtain a recovery pill

nAnd since it takes time for Tattoo Warriors to suffer from severe side effects, Rezen has to have a not too high or too low of a price

nAfter all, just because a Tattoo Warrior activates their Mystic Tattoos for one or two times doesn’t mean that they would be severely affected

nIt would take a lot of usage for the side effects to become severe. And the lower the rank is, the milder the side effects
