496 Mistakes that Lead to Fights
The mont Vicente showed his High-level Mage aura to the people at the entrance of the Professors' Village, everyone there realized that despite his age, he wasn't weak.
The professor, in Vicente's way, glared at the young man but remained silent after feeling that aura.
'Tsk! If you're so strong, why did you hide from us?' This professor cursed Vicente in his mind. He had put himself in this situation because he thought these people were weak and were there to try sothing they shouldn't have.
But with the strength of this young man, it was quite possible that Newton would take them in!
anwhile, the woman in charge of the post imdiately changed her attitude and ordered one of her n to go to Newton's residence.
Soldiers had their arrogance, and what's more, they often used their position to impose their will or even oppress people who got in their way. But even the most confident of the kingdom's soldiers would hesitate in the face of a magician who was simply acting within the law.
Why would anyone stand in the way of a more powerful being for no good reason?
The Commandant's behavior was natural, and she soon asked Vicente's forgiveness for not recognizing him.
"Commandant, Vicente Fuller and his family are welco at Professor Newton's residence. He has asked us to escort you there." The soldier ca running back a few monts after Nina's group arrived.
Hearing this, the professor, who was still standing there, tried to change how he had t these three.
"In that case, I'll take you to Newton's residence. That's all I can do to make up for what I said a few monts ago." He smiled and gestured to Vicente's group.
As reckless as this man was, he wasn't a complete fool. Vicente was much younger than he was and had contacts with Newton.
Trying to repair his relationship with this black-haired young man could greatly benefit him!
As Vicente and his two companions began to follow Marks through this village of 15 houses, they heard this man apologize.
"I'm sorry for talking nonsense before. Young people like you often co here and tell lies to get close to the professors.
We're usually strict with people looking for them to avoid disturbing the rest of the academy's professors." He said in a soft tone as he led them, laughing bitterly. "I've known Newton for a long ti, too, and I didn't know that he had finally accepted his first student..."
Vicente looked at the man's back and liked what he heard. It took courage and intelligence to take a step back, acknowledge one's mistakes, and apologize in order to repair a relationship that had begun the wrong way.
To err is human, so Vice didn't believe everyone had to get it right 100% of the ti. The difference between an idiot and a decent person is knowing how to recognize your mistakes and make ands.
"Don't worry, professor. We understand." He said without any hurt feelings in his heart from the little friction earlier.
Taking a step back and repairing the beginnings of a relationship was good not only for the erring side but also for the opposing side. Who knew what kind of problems they could get into by antagonizing a professor of Mark's level?
Having a peaceful or even friendly relationship was definitely better for both sides!
Vicente preferred to deal with people who were capable of doing what Marks was doing, so he naturally appreciated this guy's words.
"Here." Marks pulled out a card and handed it to Vicente. "This is a discount coupon for the main alchemist shop in town. I'm a friend of the owner of this establishnt, and my contacts get 10% to 20% off their purchases, depending on the items they buy. Please accept this as an apology."
"Oh?" Vicente took it without modesty. "I thank the professor. I hope I can invite the professor to dinner soti."
"Hehe, but of course." Marks was glad to finally stop in front of the second largest house in the village, where Newton currently lived. "Anyway, this is Professor Newton's residence. Now that I've brought you here, I'll say goodbye. Until next ti."
"Until next ti." Vicente gestured to him while Nina and Eve watched with rapt attention as the man walked away.
Nina didn't know what her brother and the professor had said because it was night, and she couldn't read their lips. But when she saw how Marks suddenly changed, she understood sothing important.
'It seems we need to know how to control our pride. Sotis, admitting a mistake can be the best strategy.' She thought, learning from what she had just witnessed.
anwhile, Eve comnted to Vicente. "I didn't expect this sudden change in behavior... He was arrogant and then humble."
Vicente smiled at the comnt. "This man has no humility at all. But he's intelligent enough not to insist on a mistake and capable of making ands. That's the power of influence, Eva. Those who have power benefit even when they don't seek it." He showed her the discount card he had just received.
They knocked on Newton's door and soon heard the professor's voice saying that the door was open and that they should enter.
When they saw Newton in a library in the middle of the 200-
square-ter house, Nina and Eve looked around with twinkles in their eyes while the professor looked at Vicente with interest.
"Professor, we've made so progress with our move to Saltstar City. From now on, this will be our new ho." Vicente said, intending for Newton to start teaching Nina in preparation.
"I thought that would be the case," Newton comnted as he climbed down from a ladder next to a high shelf of books. "I have so questions about the recent events in Millfall. But let's talk about Nina first."
He stopped in front of Nina and looked into her eyes. "Are you ready to be my full-ti apprentice from now on, young lady?"
Nina saw Newton make signs with his hands, sothing he hadn't been able to do before but had learned to do so that he could communicate better with her.
She smiled happily and imdiately agreed. "Of course, master!"
"Then let's formalize our relationship." He said before doing what was necessary for Nina to finally beco his de facto student.
