The young man came to Xavier along with his group and looked at him with a peculiar flint in his eyes.
The look in his eyes irked Xavier a little. It was the same look his torturer and his playmates looked at him in his previous life. Like a strange specimen who popped out of nowhere and took him to be a plaything.
If he was in his previous life, he would have coated back in front of the same look but now, agree going through 10000 years of training, this mental fortitude had been built to a astonishing degree and he was not affected very much by him.
Seeing Xavier look at him with a irked expression, the man's eyes narrowed and asked, "Are you the one who has the courage make a very one of the Wade's?"
Hearing this, Xavier smirked and said," Yes it's me. What will you do about it?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Don't know and don't care."
"Hmph, I'm Roger Wade, the heir of the Wade family. The Wade family is a premier family of the South Star City and had a status comparable to the City Lord himself. What gives you the courage to challenge one of our own? "
"Well it's not like I have the courage to make a very with him, it was him who made the net with me and I just added a few favorable terms for myself in the bet."
Just as Roger was about to reply, Richard who was standing behind Roger noticed the attendant holding a freshman card and asked arrogantly ," What are you here for?"
As an attendant she had the responsibility to know all the important people in the academy including the talented ones. And as soon as she saw the two, she guessed their identity. Even though her satus as an attendant of the medicine hall was quite stable, the two people before her could easily remove her, who didn't have any backing, from her position.
So she quickly responded, "Young master Roger Wade and Young Mistress Alice Snow, I'm in charge of attending this sir as he is registered for the position concocting examination. I was just about to give him his card back and take him to the examination wait."
As soon as they heard this, both Roger and Alice eyes showed a hint of surprise.
They both deep in their thoughts but Richard who heard this immediately started laughing loudly.
Not only him, even the group of people who were with them started laughing loudly. All the people in the medicine hall near them started looking at their direction wondering what was the reason for this ruckus.
Richard, not wanting to miss the opportunity to put down Xavier, said in a voice which was really heard by the whole vicinity.
"You want to take the potion concocter examination? So you understand the difficulty of paying this examination. Even my brother and Miss Alice who are hailed as once in a hundred year geniuses are not able to pass the exam that easily and they had to study for a while year and that too with the help of their tremendous background. And this itself was considered a huge accomplishment as both of their main field of study is mechanics and combat respectively."
"Your just a freshman and you already have the guts to challenge the exam. You do know that you won't get the credits back even if you fall or pass. And even if you do pass, how many credits will you earn by being a new concocter without any background or a guarantor to validate your to be an credible source."
"Just wait till you fail. I'll make your life miserable!"
When the crowd heard these words, they were taken back for a moment and then soon started laughing along with Richard.
"A freshman want to take the concocters exam? Boy, you are still just growing hair down there. Do you think that the exam is as easy as sucking your mother's tits?"
"Hmph, freshmen these days are sure getting cocky. Even we have to think a thousand times before we spend a 100 credits and he is just dumping them into a useless venture." a youth shook his head.
Well is his fault for not being able to recognise his limits. Young master Richard, if you want any help in dealing with that freshman, just ask us, we will gladly oblige."
Many bystander joined Richard in admonishes Xavier and many more sucked up to Richard knowing that this was the new member of the Wade family, a super genius who joined the academy.
While Roger was the heir of the family, he was already established and had his own entourage. So it was difficult to get in to his good side. But Richard was just entering the academy and if they could suck up to him, while he was not as important as Roger, he was still a member of the 3rd generation of the Wade family and a super genius on top of that.
Hearing all this, Xavier who was silent all this time spoke up," How about another bet then?"
Richard stopped laughing while both Roger and Alice looked at him with a suprised look.
"What bet?"
"If i pass the exams, you'll give me 1000 credits and if I fail the exams, I'll become your slave for life. How about it?"
Roger who was standing there asked," And what gives you the right to make a very?"
"What? Are you scared?"
When he heard the train taunting tone of Xavier's voice, Roger's eyes flagged with a sharp flint.
"Taunting me? You have very big balls to be able to taunt me like this!"
Alice who was right beside Roger was also surprised. As a super genius and the heir to the Wade family, nobody had ever taunted by October and even this childish level of taunt by Xavier ticket him off. She smiled seeing this and went into deep thought.
"Hmph, I thought that I'd atleast give you a week of freedom but since you want to become my side so much, I'll oblige." Richard interrupted before Roger could say anything.
Roger looked at Xavier and nodded," Yes, we'll accept the bet. And remember, if you lose, you're my slave. Then I'll show you what are the consequences of taunting me!"
Just as Roger was about to leave, Alice who was in deep thought suddenly said," I'd also like to partake in this bet."
