"You mean, the minimum requirement to join this competition is being an official Mage? Could it be... could it be..." Leon spoke hesitatingly, as he recalled some relevant content from the vast information about the Mage World he had stored in his mind.
"That's right. The competition I want you to participate in is the Advancement Competition of Profound Mages, which will be held in the Sky City in five years. As long as you can help us, the Byron family maintain our selling rights in the Sky City, when everything is over, our family will also reward you with a great gift."
"I see what you mean now, what you need is a promise. As long as I can promise you that I'll become an official Mage within three years and represent the Byron family to participate in that competition, you'll provide us with three years of protection. This is a deal where both of us benefit and fulfills the usual practices of fair deals between Mages. Hence, I accept the deal!"
