Kapitel 148: Chapter 148: Battle with Catherine!

"Of course I'm not joking, what would be funny about something like this?" Charles replied, stating the truth as it was. 

Owen was completely taken aback by Charles's words, it took him a while to come to terms with this reality. 

"Charles, why don't you study alchemy with me?" Owen couldn't suppress his desire any longer. Faced with a talent like Charles, he didn't want to let this opportunity slip by, he had to teach him personally! 

"Well... President Owen, I've already made a promise, so I can't go back on it." Charles replied. He valued honesty and integrity in both his words and actions, breaking a promise was not something he could do. 

"Alright then." Owen sighed again, dismissing the thought of taking on an apprentice. He felt immense regret, if only he had proposed mentoring Charles when they first met, how much better that would have been. 

It seemed that his judgment was not as sharp as that of his brother at Cyber Academy.
