Cosmic Paragon-Chapter 86: Don’t Make A Woman Your Enemy

Hearing this, the faces of the two youths standing behind Clyde changed.

At this time, the girl standing behind Clyde hesitated a bit, and then lightly tugged at Clydes clothes. She lightly whispered, Big brother, there are some open seats over there, we should just go sit over there.

Clyde looked around the dining hall, and sure enough, a spot not too far away had opened up. Clyde gave Drake a ferocious glare, State your name kid. If you’re man enough that is.

Of course I’m man enough. Humph, clean your ears tighten your belts and Hold on to your underwear for my great name. Drake made an exaggerated pose. Before saying, I am Surnamed Black with my given name being Drake. Altogether Drake Black. My friends call me Boss, but for others; Ladies call me Drake and men you can call me Mr. Black.

Clyde nodded. Drake Black is it? Good, I will settle this at a later date. Then he waved his hand, lets go. He said as he started to walk over to the empty table.

If he had continued with this spectacle, then there would have been no benefit for him. He was also slightly afraid of coming out as the loser, since Benjis clan was not at all weaker than his family. Benji himself was actually stronger than him.

But that wasnt the most important aspect. The bigger matter at hand was that if word got out that an upperclassman like Clyde was bullying one of the freshmen, then he would become the target of ridicule. Furthermore, if the headmaster heard about this, then he would definitely receive a strict punishment.

Another reason why Clyde wasnt willing to pick on commoners for their seats was for something that every upperclassmen knew about within their hearts. As the Greatest academy in the empire, Alpha Academy did not tolerate bullying of the freshmen.

At that moment, Clydes sister looked at Drake with renewed interest as if she suddenly recalled something. Black, Drake Black. Oh, I think I just remembered something. Didn’t that Leo Black guy once mention something about having some trash back at his family called Drake Black?

There is such a thing?

She nodded. Mn, I overheard him talking with the others. It was just after he joined our people and was trying to suck up to me. At that time, he had been telling the others that there was this kid from his family called Drake Black. I wasn’t really paying attention since someone who bully’s their own family like that is beneath me, but I’m very sure I didn’t mishear. there was scorn in her eyes as she mentioned Leo.

To her nothing was more important than her family, they were her greatest strength. She did not have a very strong cultivation, but whatever happened to her, her family would always stand by her. They would never let her suffer. And if a situation ever came up that they could not help it then they would still stay beside her and suffer along with her and she would do the same for them.

Now that she ran into somebody like Leo who was so proud of showing off how he bullied his own family, she felt utter disgust for him from the depths of her heart.

Clyde said, We’ll ask him when we get back. I want to know everything about this Drake Black. No one gets away with showing such disrespect towards me. There was a ferocious glint in his eyes. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

...

Benji walked on over to Drake and patted his shoulder with a laugh, You really have guts to not have given Clyde any face like that. He’s on of the bullies of the Elite class. If he tries to get to you in the future, then you can come look for me.

When Drake heard this he couldn’t help but feel a bit complicated.

Initially he had been very unhappy that some busy body had come along and chased away the prey he had finally gotten after searching so long for them. But now he could not really get angry since the guy’s intentions had been pure. He had only wanted to help.

Drake could not help but laugh at the irony. Back when he had been living in the Black clan, he didn’t want any trouble but trouble had always found him, and nobody had been willing to stand up for him. Yet, now that he actually wanted trouble somebody was here to help stand up for him.

Drake stood up from his stool and smiled politely, Thank you for helping me with this embarrassing situation, otherwise, Im afraid it would have escalated into something troublesome.

Benji started to chuckle, Junior student you don’t need to be this polite. Clyde has always been very domineering and aggressive within the academy. Ive long since found him to be quite annoying, but unfortunately, I could never find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. Right, I am called Benji, you can just call me that.

Youll want to be very careful in the Academy. Clyde is a 3 star mage, a student of the Elite class. The two people behind Clyde were his little sister Jenny, and his younger brother Prince. Clyde also has a whole gang of lackeys under him. And if they want to find someone for trouble they can do it easily.

Drake only laughed and said, Thanks Benji, dont worry. If I end up seeing them, then I will definitely be careful.

Nodding, Benji said, Alright, you can get on with your business. Ill be returning to my dorm. Junior, I hope well see each other again.

Drake sat back down to continue his meal when just at that moment his Skylink flashed. And Drake picked it up.

Hello Drake. It was Anna’s voice. Drake instantly recognized the person from the voice.

Drake was surprised that she was contacting him.

Oh hi, Anna what’s up?

I think I should start by first congratulating you on advancing to 2 star mage. she said.

Drake just shook his head and said, Thank you. I’m still not worth anything in the grand scheme of things.

Anna who was speaking from her office at the Obsidian palace nodded and said. I heard from Sylvia and the boys of everything you went through in the Fallen city, I’m very grateful that you took care of them.

Drake smiled when he heard this, My pleasure.

Anna continued. They also told me about what happened and how you were dismissed from the Prospective candidates.

It’s no bigie. It doesn’t really bother me.

That’s good. But I also called to tell you that, if you like, I could give you a quota for the Grand mage tournament. Obsidian palace also receives a few quotas for anyone we want to send to the Grand mage tournament.

Drake was startled at this. But then he remembered the information he had looked up regarding the Grand mage tournament and he understood.

The Grand mage tournament was a grand occasion that concerned all mages all around the empire, not just the Mage academies. And any and all mages that could qualify, even if they weren’t from any Mage academy were welcome to participate.

Obsidian palace itself was a very powerful high grade business establishment, so it wasn’t surprising that they would receive quotas to send some of their own mages to participate.

Drake shook his head, Sorry, but no. I don’t need one of the Obsidian palaces quotas. Thanks though.

Oh, alright then. But if you change your mind you can just ask and I’ll get it to you. Anna assured him and he appreciated it.

Thanks, but while I don’t want one of the Obsidian palaces quotas, I heard that there’s a preliminary competition going on. I’m more interested in that. Drake suddenly added.

Oh yeah, sure. The Preliminaries start at the beginning of next month. Anna affirmed.

Drake suddenly asked, How do I get in that?

Anna was startled by the question but she still explained.

If you want to join the preliminaries, it’s pretty simple. All you need to do is register for it at the Arena. But why would you want to go through the preliminaries? Those were set up just for the sake of allowing all mages around the empire a chance at qualifying for the main tournament. But I don’t see why you would want to join the preliminaries. With our quota you can directly skip the preliminaries and get into the main tournament. she informed.

But Drake still refused. No, I want to join the preliminaries. Let’s just say I need the battles. I think it will be good for my growth.

Hmm, well okay then. Anna did not understand it, but did not let herself over think things.

Thanks. Drake nodded.

They spoke a bit more before closing the call.

Drake quickly finished up the rest of his meal before returning to his dorm. He walked into his room only to find the Wolff Brothers and the twins lying all around like they were completely exhausted.

What’s going on here? he asked.
