The old man let out a cold chuckle and sneered,
"Didn't expect someone in this tiny country to recognize me."
"That's right. I'm here on behalf of the royal court of the NK Kingdom, to exact revenge on Sirius Academy!"
As he spoke, his sharp gaze landed directly on Alan, standing behind Old Gayle.
"During the Jacob Ruins incident in Kent Kingdom, the one who personally killed our sixth prince of Great Britannia—was that you?"
Alan's expression remained calm. Not a hint of fear could be seen on his face.
"I did it," he replied plainly. "So what?"
The old man stared at Alan for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Impressive… quite impressive indeed. So young, yet already proficient in controlling both internal and external mana. And on top of that, a magus who's mastered all six basic elemental forces."
"Forget Charlie. Even in the long history of our NK Kingdom, few have developed such a well-rounded foundation at your age."
