Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 91 Recruitment Day

Miss Flavia looked at him in surprise. She didnʼt expect him to have such uncaring attitude despite knowing that he had just offended Young master Dalton.

It should known that this young master Dalton was from the Dalton family of Zexin city. Their authority here was above all if you donʼt count the seemingly almighty City Lord in the equation. 

ʼMaybe this is his first time here and doesnʼt know of the matters here. No wonder he doesnʼt care about him.ʼ She guessed and nodded to herself. She didnʼt believe if he knew about his background, he would still have such nonchalant attitude.

She also hoped that she could be like that and disregard everything and live her life however she wanted but her family wonʼt allow her to.

She didnʼt want to meet this young master Dalton when she decided to come here to take part in the recruitment tests. However, her family had already informed Dalton family of her arrival so she didnʼt have any choice but to entertain him. She could only sigh thinking this.

In everyoneʼs eyes, she was a goddess who seemed have everything she needed but she didnʼt even have any freedom to make any decision for herself. Therefore, she admired him for his freedom and his nonchalance.

Seeing Max initiating bidding contest for the sword with such carefree attitude, his driver was freaking out in his heart.

He knew who this young master Dalton was and thatʼs why helt antsy. He quickly scurried over to Maxʼs side and whispered in his ear. ”Young master you canʼt bid against them.”

Max frowned and asked in slightly displeased tone ”Why canʼt I?” He didnʼt feel good when a mere servant of his family dared to prohibit him from doing what he wanted. However for the past few days, he came to know this driverʼs personality and he knew that he wouldnʼt say anything without a reason.

The driver gulped nervously and quickly explained ”Young master although I donʼt know who this young lady is, I know about this Dalton guysʼs family. They are said to be the overlords of Zexin city despite not having any governmental position. Almost all of the cityʼs business are theirs and they control the very economy of this city. Hence, they are thousand times richer than Garfield family. If young master wants to win against them in bidding, even a few tens of thousands gold coins wonʼt do.” He knew that his young master wouldnʼt have such money thatʼs why he urged him to not compete.

”What?” Max almost shouted aloud. He didnʼt expect to encounter a walking ATM and dared to ignorantly think that his wealth of around one thousand gold coins would be enough to win against them.

Max quickly calmed down. He looked at him gratefully. It would have been too embarrassing to take out a handful of gold coins after boldly agreeing to bid.

Max looked at Miss Flavia and said ”Beautiful Miss, I think I will pass this opportunity to compete against you because I just remembered a very important task that Iʼve to attend to right now. Please you excuse me...” 

After saying this, Max didnʼt wait for her to respond walked toward the exit as if he really had some important task at hand.

”Thank you sir for letting me have the sword.” Miss Flavia said as Max walked past her. He could feel his face burning however, he just nodded and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

ʼDo you think I would let you off just because you have given up on buying it? Dream on. No one can take liberties with the woman I have set my sights on.ʼ Dalton sneered.

...

Moon was shining with its soothing pale light and starts twinkled in the dark sky. Max was sitting in meditation strengthening his mana core. After leaving the blacksmithʼs shop, Max didnʼt buy any normal magic weapon. He decided to pass the test relying on his strength only.

In his opinion a weapon can only be helpful to him when he is out of mana and this was very unlikely to happen in the recruitment fights.

There were still two days left until recruitment started so he focused on improving his mana core and getting familiar with his increased physical strength and agility a bit more.

Two days quickly passed and the day of recruitment arrived. Max woke up early in the morning and got ready.

”Young master, breakfast is ready. Please come out.” Little Rouʼs enthusiastic voice sounded from outside of his room. She has been happy since Max came to her home to live. He gave them ten gold coins and bought different types of magical beast meat and other precious ingredients for her to cook and he also let them eat the heavenly food that only nobles could eat.

After eating mana rich food for a few times, her sickly pale skin was regaining its healthy hue and her old grandfatherʼs health also seemed to improve. He could now walk around without his walking stick.

Creak!

Door opened and Max appeared in front of her. She looked up and stared at his smiling face and smiled. Just like Neer, she also felt that Max was an angle. No matter if you see his kind character or angelic visage with exception of Wings, everything seemed to resemble those angles in stories her grandpa told her.

Max rubbed his nose awkwardly and said ”Is something on my face little Rou?”

Initially Max felt uncomfortable when people looked at him in awe because of his handsome visage. He used to think that this body wasnʼt his but other Maxʼs.

However after getting his memories back, he felt that they both were one and so stopped minding small things.

Rou shook her head as head ponytails swayed, making Max chuckle. He patted her head and walked towards the room where they usually ate.

As they ate, Max noticed that Little Rouʼs mood was down compared to a day before.

Max find it strange and asked ”Is something wrong Rou? Did someone bullied you?”

She jolted, her eyes becoming hazy. She shook her head ”No one bullied me.” She then asked almost in whisper ”You are leaving today right?”

Her grandfather sighed seeing her like this. He knew that his granddaughter started to treat Max as their part of family because Max would treat her well and joke around with her. So now that he was leaving, she was feeling sad.

Max also understood why her mood was down. He didnʼt know what to say. He also grew fond of this little girl. He smiled at her ”Yes Iʼll be leaving today. However, you donʼt need to worry, Iʼll visit you guys whenever I get free time.”

Little Rouʼs mood brightened by a few notches and she nodded ”Okay. Young master do your best in the recruitment.”

After finishing their meal, Max and others left their house and headed toward the square where recruitment will be held. However before leaving, Max gave the old a few tens of gold coins so that they would be self sufficient at least for a few years.
