"Hey boy, what are you doing here?" Elder Cha, who is in charge of the competition arena, questioned Kent, who was walking towards her from a distance. Her gaze lingered on Kent for a long time.
Kent hurriedly approached her with a straight face. "Elder, I'm here to bid my name to the secondary magus competition." Kent replied while handing the disciple token.
"What?! But he is only a 3rd-class magus." Luna muttered while staring at Kent with a wide-open mouth.
"Kent Clark… 6th class magus…" Elder Cha read it out while taking a look at the disciple token.
"No way… He is just a sixth-grade magus. Doesn't he know about competition?" One of the girls in the cheerleader group muttered loudly while examining Kent.
"Hey Kent, do you remember me? I'm Luna... we both were classmates a few years ago." Luna took a step forward with a righteous face.
Kent nodded his head while controlling his brain to not think about her exposing milk balls from pictures sent to his sky orb.
"See, Kent, this competition is for elites of the 10th class secondary mages. You are still in 6th grade, Magus. So, you better drop your participation in the competition." Luna explained it like a senior sister who is educating the novice school kid.
"There is no such rule on the competition page. By any chance, are you making up assumptions?" Kent questioned back without caring about the opinion of the girls.
"Y-You…!" Luna smirked after hearing his smirking reply. Just as she opened her mouth to reprimand Kent, Elder Cha stopped Luna.
"Boy, you seem to don't know much about the competition; even though there is no such rule, you should understand that going against a higher-class Magus will only put your life on the line. So, I decided wisely. If you still want to participate in the competition, just pay a silver coin."
Elder Cha replied while observing Kent closely. For some odd reason, she felt drawn towards Kent. Her heart is a little faster as she tries hard not to think of intimate scenes with the boy before her.
"Kent, do you have one silver coin or should you borrow it from someone else? You better stop your act now. Wearing cheap, good-looking clothes and cutting hair like a scholar won't make you a rich young master." Luna said it in a sarcastic tone while laughing loudly.
Luna's remarks attracted everyone's attention as their view of scholar Kent smashed with her one dialogue.
"Luna, what are you speaking? He seems very rich." A girl tried to question Luna's statement.
"Senior sister Mu, don't fall for his looks. This brat is dirt poor. When we were classmates in the past, he used to borrow bronze coins from me." Luna replied while staring at Kent in a belittling tone.
The most shocked person among the group was Elder Cha. She couldn't believe handsome-looking Kent was a pauper.
"But the symbol of the rainbow brand on his clothes is very genuine. Luna, are you trying to fool us?" One of the senior sisters was questioned in a serious tone.
"What? Rainbow brand? That's impossible. It must be counterfeit. The cheapest set of rainbow brand coins cost 3 gold coins." Luna blurted out in a perplexed tone.
"Girls, stop your chit-chat. You... do you want to participate in the competition or not?" Elder Cha was questioned with a serious face.
With a lazy smile, Kent accessed the Pegasus bracelet and took a few coins into his hands. He picked one coin from them and tossed the remaining coins back into his bracelet.
"Here, add my name to the competition." Kent replied while placing the silver coin in Elder Cha's palm.
"Omg!!!, he has a storage bracelet." One of the girls cried out in a loud tone.
"T-That's a Pegasus brand bracelet." Senior sister Mo muttered with wide, open eyes.
Even elder Cha stared at Kent with an unbelievable gaze. Until now, his sleeves covered the Pegasus bracelet. That's why no one noticed it. Like iPhones in the modern world, these top-notch items are popular among people, especially teens.
"Elder, can I leave now?" Kent called out for Cha, who was staring at him with a stupefied gaze. Cha's entire wealth is not even half the value of the bracelet on Kent's wrist. She is thinking hard about how such a rich person is living in this small school of the sky family.
As Kent called out for the second time, Elder Cha got out of her shock. "Yes… Yes… You can leave now. I will add your name to the competition. Here is your disciple token." The elder replied in a humble tone as she stretched forward to hand the token to Kent.
All the cheerleading girls became dead silent as they experienced a setback in their thinking.
As Kent walked away from the arena, Elder Cha and the girls stared at Kent's back with longing looks. Elder Cha's fantasy reached its climax as she stared lustfully at Kent.
Out of everyone in the arena, Luna is the most shocked person. She is cursing herself for her foolishness. As expected, everyone's gaze moved to her after Kent left.
Senior sister Mu directly smacked Luna's back. "If you ever try to make such lies again, I will personally ban you from the cheerleading group. This is the last and final warning." Sister Mu scolded in a loud, bickering tone.
Luna stood silently without fighting back. The scene of Kent paying a silver coin keeps running through her mind.
After coming out of the arena, Kent began walking outside the school gate. From morning to evening, he is very busy today. He decided to visit the hotel room and practice cultivation seriously, as the competition would be very tough.
But unknown to him, two shadows were following him from a long distance. They are Mona and Ric.
"Do you believe me now? Look closely... he is Kent." Ric said this in a stressed tone while flying beside Mona at a slow speed.
"Ok… ok… It's my mistake. Let's follow him and see where he is going." Mona replied while gazing at Kent, who is waiting for a pet taxi.
"Hey, Mona, where are you going?" Another pair of disciples joined after seeing the suspicious behavior of Mona and Ric.
"Shhh… Just follow us closely. I will show you an unbelievable scene." Ric replied in a hushed tone as they closed towards Kent.
