Elias walked on the hallways of the Sorcerer department, attracting all sorts of gaze and attention from female students to him.

Because Ragna was not with him, the female sorcerer students were able to take a few glances at him without fearing for their lives.

Lighly speaking, Elias had a very mature and handsome face along with a strict and calm disposition.

Among the first year students, he was definitely one of the most attractive and handsome individuals.

However, his biggest flaw would be that he was hardly approachable with the intimidating air he exhibited and his two subordinates often scared others off.

Although, oddly enough, Hajin and Ragna were not with him at the moment.

After the Corleone Familia was officially established, Elias separated with Hajin and Ragna to deal with some personal matters.

Hajin and Ragna happily agreed, all the long walking and boring conversations they had truly tortured them in boredom.

Elias didn't have anymore use to them until later, so he let them do what they want with the condition that they would arrive when he needs them.

Both had no problems with that arrangement.

Elias lifted his brows, exiting the Sorcerer department quietly. He continued walking until he reached the back of the academy.

'Let's see... This should be the place.'

In front of him, a tall, and large tower casted a shadow over the surroundings. It was like a spiralling pillar, ancient and abstract in nature.

The large tower was magnificently built with obsidian black, its hardened walls inscribed with intricate symbols and glyphs.

Fog seemed to circle around the magic tower, covering its entrance and windows from the outside world.

The building in front of Elias right now was a magic tower.

A magic tower was just a better, classier word for a sorcerer's abode. It was usually filled with the sorcerer's important stuff and experiments.

Owning a magic tower usually means that the sorcerer was not only strong, but also filthy rich.

Magic towers were insanely expensive, to put it lightly. But money was not a problem for great sorcerers at all.

There were only a few or so magic towers distributed in the academy for teachers. And Elias was standing in front of one of them right now.

As for who's magic tower?

"I know you can see me. Don't you think you should invite me to your place?"

Elias calmly spoke, looking at the top of the magic tower. He saw no one there, and yet he was pretty confident that someone was inside.

After a moment, an amused voice came from the magic tower.

"I told you to meet me after you get your Student ID Card. It's been days since and only now you bothered? Tsk, tsk... what a rebellious student you are."

"I've been busy with a few matters. A great sorcerer like yourself surely wouldn't mind that, right?"

Elias said calmly, shaking his head. The voice seemed to be happy to be praised as a great sorcerer.

"That's right! I don't really mind. I even helped you out a little by telling the entire academy how you saved them! You're a hero!"

Unconsciously, Elias felt veins protrude on his foreheads. He clenched his jaw tightly as he forced a smile.

"That's right... Alright, what is it do you want? I'll leave this place if you aren't going to get serious."

"Fine, fine, come inside."

As soon as the voice said that, the magic tower's entrance slowly creaked and opened like a doorway to the abyss.

Elias walked inside calmly. But inwardly, he couldn't help but sigh and feel like his decision to go to this place was already a mistake.

Ooh boy, let's just get this over with...

***

As soon as Elias entered inside, a familiar woman suddenly tripped on her steps when she saw him and blurted out.

"It's you!"

Elias turned to look at the shouting woman, recognizing her as none other than Luna Edelfelt.

Seeing her almost trip herself, he kept his composure and gave her a nod of acknowledgement

"Oh... It's you, Edelfelt."

"Edelfelt?"

Luna eyes twitched in a fluster. She couldn't help but feel annoyance erupt inside her after hearing her last name mentioned in such a plain, disrespectful manner.

What Edelfelt? That's Ms. Edelfelt to you! I'm your teacher, arrogant first year!

Luna complained inside her mind, but she kept a gentle smile outwardly to uphold her image.

Be better, Luna...

Elias tone and words were truly disregarding her entirely, it almost cracked Luna's composure but thank goodness she had a benevolent heart.

"It's you... and it's Ms. Edelfelt for you, Elias Corleone."

Luna forced a smile. She adjusted her clothes and stared at Elias with a calm, restrained smile.

Even if she was a third year, she was still a senior and an assistant teacher. She should atleast command minimum respect.

Elias glanced at her and gave a short nod before ignoring her entirely. He looked for the stairs and approached it.

Without delaying anymore, Elias went up to the second floor and left Luna standing alone in the first floor of the tower.

Huh?

Luna couldn't but be stunned in a daze. She looked at where Elias had went as her eyes widened, at a lost.

Did that first year... just ignore me?

That first year... How dare he ignores me like that... I was just greeting him...! Complete disregard to a senior and teacher!

H-h-he's bullying me....

Luna felt extremely helpless and dejected as her shoulders slumped. Her entire confidence had been shattered by Elias complete disregard to her.

Throughout her year as a senior student, no one had ever ignored or disregarded her like this.

Even the President and other Club Leaders respected her name to a degree, but Elias didn't seem to care at all.

She had the mind to get revenge, but she always reminded herself that her enemy was merely an arrogant first year.

If she tried to get revenge, it would be bullying at that point.

Luna wasn't interested in such things. She looked at the stairs and remembered that her master was also there.

Huh, wait a minute. How did the doors open way for Corleone? Did Master let him in... ?Why is he meeting with master? Do they know each other?

Luna finally caught on to the crux of the issue. But it only gave her more questions, causing confusion to rise in her heart.

"Argh! It's no use thinking about it! I'll just do my research first then I'll ask master when I'm done."

Deciding just that, Luna immediately went away and focused on doing her own matters with a heavy sigh.

"You sure do like to trick my cute daughter,"

Felix chortled, looking at Elias with a smile. He reclined against his chair and stared at the standing Elias calmly.

Elias crossed his arms and looked at Felix.

"What do you need, Professor Felix? Why did you call me for again?"

"Hm... i was interested in adding a member to your club, but seeing that you already have enough, forget about it."

Professor Felix shrugged.

"That's not needed. And I don't think you would've called me just for that."

Elias shook his head. There definitely was a bigger reason — how so? He knew the man'e character from the novel.

Professor Felix might be unserious and too amused by himself sometimes, but when he's calling out students he was serious about his concerns to them.

"Alright, it involves you."

Professor Felix smile fell off. He snapped his fingers, putting in a silent spell within the room so no one could hear what was about to be said.

Elias noticed it but said nothing. He lifted his brows and let Professor Felix contjnue what he was doing.

Professor Felix cleared his throat, solemnly looking at Elias before opening his mouth.

"You're that escapee from Tartarus, aren't you? Elias Vito Castellano?"

Elias suddenly fell silent, looking at Professor Felix sharply. His smile was wiped out of his face.

Professor Felix glanced at him with an amused smile. Elias didn't say anything but simply stared back at Professor Felix.

"I don't think you were trying to hide it in the first place. But you sure are an interesting one. You're the most unique student I've ever seen and read about, bar from none."

Professor Felix continued, looking at Elias with a smile.

"You're a criminal from the strictest, most tightly guarded prison in the world. But then one day, you caused a great commotion across the continent and became the firsy escapees of Tartarus. Ever. At such a young age. Your deeds are nothing short of legendary,"

Elias sharply glared at him, feeling a bit nervous inside.

"Get straight to the point."

"However... you are a wanted criminal. If it were to ever be discovered the academy is keeping in someone like you, then its prestige and reputation might crash. You're quite a troublesome bomb pushed to us,"

Professor Felix sighed and shook his head slightly. Elias felt his heart drop from the news.

"But the academy soon reached a decision."

Professor Felix paused before continuing solemnly.

"Despite your status as a wanted criminal, the academy is willing to support you. As far as we know, you're enrolled as Elias Corleone a cousin of Hajin Sanchez,"

"But there's a condition."
