Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 495 Permanently Cursed?

495 Permanently Cursed

Later that day, Vicente would finish mining the mineral Benson and Ronan were looking for.

He would take all the materials from those two, along with Ronanʼs projects, promising to return all the equipment in no more than four days.

Vicente wouldnʼt produce them there, let alone give Ronan a chance to see him in action.

He could only produce 3rd-grade items with 100% efficiency when using his abilities, something he didnʼt want someone like Ronan to know he had.

If someone unknown or dangerous discovered his magical form or even saw his Magic Gem, he would be in serious trouble because of Colonel Adams.

Colonel Adams had surely captured Vicenteʼs Magic Gem in some kind of portrait that should already be circulating in the kingdomʼs headquarters.

To avoid the worst, he would hide his gems from now on and not show his abilities unless he wanted to kill the witnesses who were not bound to him by contract.

So, after some reluctance from Ronan, he left that simple house, with Benson having convinced his oldest student there to accept.

On the other hand, Benson arranged to go to Vicenteʼs house to talk alone for the next few hours, curious to see both the robotic armor and his studentʼs current abilities.

He also wanted to know about Vicenteʼs situation in Millfall, why the young man was hiding, and if this was just a visit to Saltstar City.

Vicente agreed to meet with Benson later, but he was soon returning to his residence to settle Ninaʼs affairs.

He had to enroll Nina in a local academy, but he also had to find Newton!

...

It was late at night in Saltstar City when Vicente left his house with Nina and Eve and headed for the local Royal Academy building where Newton was currently residing.

The Royal Academies of the Seidel Kingdom were quite different from the ordinary academies of the state. These institutions that prepared for the Seidel Magical College had full-time teaching, and their campuses always had dormitories for the students and villages for the teachers.

Neither students nor teachers needed residences in the cities where they worked or studied at these institutions throughout the kingdom.

Many of the professors and students at these academies came from distant places, and their families did not live in the same city as their workplaces.

After discovering that Newton lived in the Professorsʼ Village, Vicente took Nina and Eve to that place, having already arranged for his sister to attend a local primary academy.

Although the academy year had already started and there were only a few months of classes left, Vicente managed to enroll Nina in a good local academy without too much difficulty.

He had to pay an extra fee for this, but with this bonus, he solved his sisterʼs school situation quickly. Nina would be able to go to school tomorrow and would still have afternoon tutoring to make up for the days she had missed because of the trip between Millfall and Saltstar City.

Anyway, as he walked alongside Nina and Eve, Vicente had a smile on his face, very pleased with his progress regarding his sisterʼs situation.

As much as he was full of problems in his life, Nina was improving little by little. In a few months, she would graduate from the basic academy, and as Newtonʼs student, it wouldnʼt be too difficult for her to enter the Royal Academy.

If she followed this path, she would have a chance to get the best education she could get in this state and a real chance to get into Seidel Magic College.

Even if she didnʼt awaken her magical powers, it could give her a scholarly career and guarantee her future locally.

At the same time, Vicenteʼs staff had already placed orders for valuable medicines for her to consume, just as they had done in the previous months when Nina had already used various resources.

Vicente didnʼt know if she was improving her chances of Awakening her magical powers, but she seemed to be getting better and better, which was enough for him to smile with satisfaction.

With good thoughts for Ninaʼs future in mind, he and his two companions arrived at the entrance of the local Royal Academy, where they received information on how to get to the Professorsʼ Village.

The Saltstar City Royal Academy was located in the cityʼs center, less than a five-minute walk from the Fuller estate. It had a large area of more than 20,000 square meters where there were classroom buildings, theaters, student dormitories, cafeterias, battlefields, experiment room buildings, and the Professorsʼ Village.

The Professorsʼ Village and the student dormitory were the only two parts of this large compound that had their own exits apart from the main entrance/exit of the academy.

Following the instructions of a guard, Vicente and his two companions soon arrived at the entrance to the Professorsʼ Village.

”Good evening, Iʼm here to see Professor Newton,” Vicente said as he stopped in front of the guardhouse, where army soldiers kept track of who came and went.

A woman, a Low-level Mage, was standing there with a group of Acolytes, and she got up from where she was sitting when she noticed that Vicente had addressed his words to her.

When she noticed how well-dressed he was, just like his two companions, she felt that this was no ordinary person.

”Young master, itʼs late. Youʼd better come back tomorrow. Our professors often donʼt like visitors at this time.” She said, not wanting to disturb Vicente but being sincere with the recommendation the villagers usually gave to the guards at this post.

”Newton will receive us. The one beside me is his student, Nina Fuller.” Vicente pointed to his sister, drawing the attention of all the soldiers at the entrance to the young woman next to him.

”This girl?” The woman murmured in surprise, unaware that Newton had a student.

Then, as the royal soldiers at the entrance looked at Nina with interest, curious about this young womanʼs case, the voice of a newcomer came from behind Vicenteʼs group.

”Nonsense! Newton has no disciples! Iʼve known him for years, and heʼs never had a disciple. Stop what youʼre doing before you get into trouble you canʼt handle!”

Vicente and Eve looked back to see a white-haired man glaring at them as if they were con artists trying to draw the soldiers in.

”Professor Marks.” The soldiers at the entrance said as they opened the passage for this man, a high-level mage, one of the three main professors of this academy.

The woman there then said. ”If you really donʼt have a relationship with Professor Newton, youʼd better leave now, or youʼll be in trouble.”

Vicente smiled as he looked at the newcomer. ʼI think the necklace Jullian gave me has put a permanent curse on me... Why do I keep getting into trouble like this?ʼ

”Just report it to Newton and youʼll know if what I said was true or not.” He said as he released the aura that had been hidden inside his own body.
