The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 62: An Agreement

Viktor was stunned to see a 9th-circle magician fainted in the middle of the fight. He couldn't see any dead monster's body around so he assumed that Adonis devoured it all while carrying him like a bag of potatoes.

Maybe he fainted from the mana pressure of my scythe. I gave all of my energy to the ultimate attack. I named it the dimensional cut-through because it is capable of cutting time in the aura beam. This weapon is perfect for that type of attack.

The weapon Viktor wielded was made from the green mana stone he brought from the street vendor he found in the red light district. It was about months ago he finished the process of making his ultimate weapon.

The crest of destruction contains an infinite amount of knowledge about every weapon. From weapon materials to weapon crafting, designing even the instructions to use them.

So Viktor didn't need to learn from the basic level 1 swordsmanship. He was already a guardian-level swordsman when he was blessed by the crest.

The crystal he bought from the street had the unique power of transformation and separation skills. So making a weapon that changes its characteristic form was possible with the crests knowledge.

So, he put those lousy thoughts aside and created a weapon that can change into 400 different types of weapons as the owners wish. It was like installing apps on his phone that serve different purposes.

It took him 15 days of non-stop work to create such a thing. And after he was finished, he made his ownership spell so that no one could even pick it up. Even his blood relatives or his children. Because this weapon's one ultimate blow is enough to cut a whole continent into two lands.

But facing a guardian face to face was something bound to happen. So, he created such a weapon to win every fight.

…

I must hide this weapon from everyone's eyes. Or else, I will have to fight with my comrades in the future.

"Master, what are we going to do with this creature?" Adonis was standing with the half-dead principal in his arms.

"Let's go back. Take this whole dragon body with you, and the box there. Take that too inside your dimensional pocket. It's a great test subject for my potions, and a new experiment."

"Yes, master."

But Viktor sensed something else. So, he got closer to his headmaster and asked him face to face, "You are awake aren't you?". The principal became frightened that he made an embarrassing noise. His act was useless in front of Viktor.

"I can't hide anything from you."

"Your heartbeat changed minutes ago, so it was pretty noticeable for me. Right Adonis?" Viktor looked at him and saw an orange light bulb saying that he already knew the principal was awake, but his emotion was telling him that he was feeling comfortable in his arms, so he acted like he was still fainted.

"No, I didn't say that!!!" The principal screamed but Adonis was having fun by teasing him.

Well, if he's having fun, I have no objection. Now, I think we should get out of the dungeon and enjoy my newly gained crests. I am really excited to try them out.

"Let's go, I have classes to attend tomorrow."

"Viktor, come and meet me in my office at 12:15 PM. We will have a nice chat alone."

"Thank you for the invitation, sir. I will be there in time."

I will take care of the box tomorrow, I can't open it in front of anyone, because my crest of record is telling me to hide it in the library's secret vault.

Next day in the morning at the Academy.

It was an ordinary day just like the other days Viktor spent his time in classes but something was a little different that day. Alexis was absent from the class but no one seems to remember his existence. Viktor didn't bother to ask anyone because he already knew what was going on.

The principal cast a memory spell on every person inside the academy to wipe every drop of Alexis's existence.

Viktor walked into the teacher's section and a guard came to him.

"Student Viktor, the principal is calling for you. Please follow me." The guard said.

He's the 001 I saw on the entrance exam. But he's not wearing any mask now. I guess it was for the safety of his identity outside the academy.

The hallway that leads to the principal's office was very unique and long. With various kinds of traps installed all over the place, the security of the place was very high. One wrong step can blow off a person's skull with an arrow. Just how important are those books to him? They are all trash.

After walking for 5 minutes, the guard stopped in front of a huge door and knocked on it four times. "Sir, you have a guest."

"Bring him in." He answered with a soft tone.

"Hello sir, it's nice to meet you."

"You can leave the room now 001. Close the door on your way back." So, the guard left the door after greeting him good afternoon.

Viktor quickly took a seat in front of him and took a cup of tea to refresh his mind and body. "You seem to enjoy the cup of tea very much. What will you do if the tea is poisoned?", the principal asked.

"That will be a very brave and useless attempt to murder me."

"I see. Don't worry. I have no intention to harm you. I don't have the power to do so."

"Tell me about your master.", Viktor asked while gobbling down the sweets on the table.

"He was the guardian of the fire dragon. He died a few centuries ago by the heavenly guardians. That's all I know. Nothing else."

"I see. So, it was you who wiped everyone's memory right?" Viktor asked.

"Yes, it was necessary. And my underlings are already on their way to clean their family's memory. But I don't understand the reason why you still remember him."

"I have my tricks."

Viktor ate all the sweets on the table and asked him why he called him even though he knew everything from inside his mind.

"I want to make a deal."

"Say it."

"I want you to become the observer of IEQ guild and maintain the business. In exchange, you will guarantee me a good amount of money."

"What will I gain by doing that?", Viktor asked.

" Your talents are perfect for that job. Idling under your blanket will be a waste of those."

I know it's a great job offer, but I have to attain the main story to collect something really important from so many people by keeping the story in check. How am I supposed to maintain all of those roles together?

"But, after graduating, I will have to stay in this kingdom for about 10 or 20 years. I can't leave no matter what happens." Viktor answered.

The principal's face became gloomy, but he didn't give up. So he proposed another plan related to the main job. "Then, what about the branch guild inside the capital city? This might help you and it's also connected with the imperial family. I can prepare a noble title for you."

It's not a bad offer, but it will cost me a lot of sleeping hours. And I have to sacrifice one thing for another.

After 5 years I will be very busy anyway, so getting this job in exchange for a lot of money isn't a bad idea. I guess I will take this job.

"Okay, sounds good. But the payment?"

"It's 70/30. The annual income is 2 million gold."

Well, money comes first right -_-?

"I've heard about the IEQ guild, they are really a strong force. Are you sure you can trust me with this whole operation on my hands? I might betray the organization."

"You have no reason to betray the organization. It's up to you whether you will make it good or bad.", the principal replied.

So, he's trusting me with this big organization that controls multiple continents from the shadows. Not even a king can oppose the IEQ, let alone wage a war against it. This old fart already knew about me and that's why he's eager to put all the responsibilities on me. He's a sly fox.

"Okay then. I accept your offer. But please keep this in mind. If something happens inside the Vestrain kingdom, don't put your hands in it. Don't accept anyone's request for assassination. Or else, I will make sure to prepare an afterlife ride to your humble master."

Viktor released an enormous amount of mana pressure that made the principal's nose become a blood fountain. His body was shaking in fear. "I will not kill you as long as I can suck profits out of you. From now on, I will wait until my graduation is over."

"Tell me what your goal is, Viktor. Are you going to wipe out this Vestrain kingdom with the control I am about to give you? Or do you wish to become a king?"

"I don't have a wish to live a king's life. I don't have such a goal to destroy a kingdom either. I just want to sleep under my blanket after all my tasks are over. That's my goal."

"Hah!! It's hard to believe that word who just killed a guardian last night. Anyway Viktor, I will still offer you that job. Even if you do evil things, I will not oppose it. But keep this one warning in your head. Do not use too much guardian mana. It will attract the heavenly guardians."

"I know. I've already been through that chapter. I will be careful. Thank you for your offer. Here.."

Viktor threw a blue potion on his hand as a gift. "It's a potion that helps to gain a semi-infinite regeneration in your body. I made it with the blood of the guardian I killed yesterday." And he left the office with a book from his bookshelf without being noticed.

The principal became speechless by the potion he just received from Viktor.
