Lord of Glory

“You’re lucky to die this way.
Don't dirty my clothes.
Hahahaha!”

Crunch.
Paladin strengthened his grip more, directly crushing Onix’s throat.
Then he stripped the corpse of its clothes and wore the student uniform.
He looked like a regular student after changing his clothes.

Paladin picked up his bag.
Not far away, four or five guards stood guard at the side gate.
He then moved his feet quickly out of the corridor, leaving the two corpses there.
Lying on the ground miserably as their bodies gradually went ice cold….

“Which department do you belong to? Don’t you know that the dean had just ordered all of the students to gather in the hall?” said one of the five guards guarding the side gate when he saw Paladin walking silently towards them with his head down.
Although they couldn’t see his face, the student uniform still made the guards more or less relax their vigilance.
After asking politely, the guard stood up and waved his chain-sickle.

“Ah….
Is this the side gate? Oh, yeah….
I went to the wrong location.” Paladin said with trepidation.
While slowly advancing towards the guards, he secretly stretched his right hand behind his back, ready to take off the glove.
Paladin, who still hung his head low, showed a nervous look on his face as if this was his first time being lost.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Paladin.

“A student? Why is a student still loitering here?! Didn't I order all of you to gather in the hall?!” Paladin's eyes instantly widened and his body trembled uncontrollably.
He then lifted his head.
With a silly smile plastered on his face, he turned to look at the person behind him.

A frail young man.
This was the man’s first impression in Paladin's eyes.
But then, Paladin suddenly realized that, despite his skinny stature, the man's firm eyes made Paladin afraid to look at him directly.
The long coral-blue hair hanging over his shoulders and his silver-white pupils cemented the fact that Paladin had never seen this person before in the more than 20 years he had worked here.

Although Paladin's status was humble, he had taken care of the entire castle’s inhabitants’ sundries.
That was why he had even met the dean, Ryan, several times before.
This man’s appearance was so distinct that it was impossible not to leave the slightest impression! Furthermore, he hadn't heard of a new mentor coming to the branch, so the identity of this person was worth pondering over.

Moreover, what made Paladin raise his guard the most was the presence of 1,200 blue orbs—which were water magic elements—jumping up and down jubilantly around this tutor! Paladin had obviously never seen an alchemist with such powerful magical power, as the magic elements surrounding the man floated around like a stream of water.

The man with magical power formed by two thousand magic elements had to be a famous alchemist.
Considering that Paladin himself had only the power of fifty magic elements, and was already easily overpowering ordinary people.
This only made Paladin become more alert.

Keeping that in mind, Paladin pretended to be stupid, and dazedly inquired, “Excuse me, teacher, why haven't I ever seen you in the school?”

Even though it was subtle, Paladin noticed a slight agitation in the eyes of the frail tutor in front of him.

‘This person is really not a tutor here! He is an outsider who has snuck in!’

The skinny man frowned, pinched Paladin's ear as if they were close, and reprimanded him angrily, “Kid, I'm a botanical tutor! I asked you because your back is familiar to me.
Why are you running around by yourself again?! Come back with me! The dean is already very angry!”

Paladin was taken aback.
He couldn't help but laugh inwardly when he saw the guard's puzzled expression.

‘You brought this to yourself, outsider.
Don't blame me.’

So, Paladin innocently tilted his head and sucked his thumb.
He then asked, “Who are you? I don't know you.”

As soon as he said that, the guards noticed that something was wrong.
They’d never seen this mentor before! Coupled with the student's questions, their vigilance had been increased to the extreme! The leading guard pressed forward, waving his chain-sickle.
He scowled and yelled, “Please, Sir, do not move.
Show us your armband and ID.
Otherwise….”

The man who called himself Nasura shook his head helplessly.
He took out his identification and armband from his bag.
Nonchalantly, he said, “Why are you guards so nervous? I’m a newly transferred tutor from the headquarters.
Take a look at this if you don't believe me.”

The guard hadn't noticed the contradiction in the man's words in that short frame of time.
If he was a newly transferred tutor, how could he recognize a student from here? The guard subconsciously walked forward and gradually lowered his chain-sickle.
