Chapter 490 Joining the Academy

"We have reached an agreement that we'll follow your condition. We'll offer all those resources to you for only a one year contract. However, I hope that you are able to prioritize our academy once the term is over."

Clovis thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Let's do it that way. But you surely are going to do the same for my group, right?"

The principal was celebrating in his heart. The hardest part was convincing him, so the principal simply said, "Indeed. Judging from the strength they have shown so far, they'll most likely reach a very high rank.

"That's why we'll offer a similar contract to them. I just hope that you will be able to help us persuade them to sign the contract."

"Alright." Clovis paused for a moment. "Do I need to shut them up?"

The principal was confused about who he was talking about, but there were some people that needed to be pushed away.

Without hesitation, the principal assured him, "Don't worry. We will handle that matter and give them a proper warning."

"Alright then." Clovis nodded.

The principal extended his hand. "Welcome on board, Student Clovis. I'm looking forward to your future success."

Clovis shook his hand while saying, "Likewise."

As the principal said, the matter regarding other academies was his to handle.@@@@

Obviously, there were a lot of people sneaking around, trying to get into contact with Clovis.

But before Clovis even left the academy to return to his house, the academy had made a clear statement that Clovis was a part of the first academy and no one should touch him.

Those who wanted to approach him couldn't help but clench their teeth as they realized that Clovis had decided to join the first academy.

"Yes. If there are organizations planning to kill me, the academy will be the ones taking care of it. In fact, they might not even realize those organizations and just think that some academies are trying to eliminate me."

Erwin was taken aback. On the one hand, Clovis acted like a jerk by exploiting the academy. On the other hand, it was actually a brilliant plan. They could gain some peace for a period of time because the academy was covering them.

The more they showed how strong they were compared to others, the more protective the academy would become.

This way, they didn't have to worry about those organizations for at least a year.

"Waaf!" Reolf barked as if telling him that he would be there to protect him.

"Hahaha. Reolf... good boy!" Clovis chuckled as he rubbed him. "I'm sorry for making you stay here. We'll be leaving very soon, so endure it a bit longer, alright?"

"Waaf!" Reolf nodded.

"I can understand why you want to join the academy right now, but this will probably create a conflict with other academies as well as other students, no?"

"It's easier to handle an enemy that we already know than the unknown enemies who are lurking in the dark."

Kanaria sighed. "Alright. I'll trust your decision."

"Anyway, even though we won't be living any time soon, it's not like we can't do it under the guise of 'vacation.'" Clovis shrugged while glancing at Melody, as if implying that they could still leave this country for a bit to find his mother so that they could help her younger brother.

Melody sighed, knowing her weakness. It seemed that Clovis had put a proper thought before making the decision.

"Anyway, unlike in Axionia, there is no limitation for us to travel. We can go to a corner of the country without worrying that this city will fall." Clovis smiled.

"!!!" They almost forgot about this fact.

Before they could even say anything, Maya slammed open the door as she shouted from the entrance. "Guys. Where are you? Are you home now? I have brought the details regarding the annual event!"
