An honorary student is a title given to achievers as a kind of encouragement, with some minor benefits such as access to all library floors and access to some special techniques.
But being a disciple to an elder would have more weight as the student is going to be trained by an elder and enjoy their protection. Hence, Zi Yun began praising and enumerating the benefits of being a disciple of a great mage to change Jin's mind.
"Don't you know what benefits you will get if you become the disciple of the great mage Ni Bo Sai? He is the most powerful magician on the human continent. All mages wish to be taken under his wing. With him, your future will be bright, and your future achievements will be limitless."
Her praise and talk about the great magician made Jin explode with anger as he said, "Are you making fun of me? When did that lazy, quick-tempered become the most powerful magicians? If there is anything worse than his personality, it is his training method and that ridiculous oath to keep the secrets of the spirits he created."
Zi Yun couldn't help but look at Jin with puzzled eyes, "How did you know about his character and the oath? Have you ever met him before?"
'Damn, I exposed myself.'
Jin was confused and didn't know what to answer. The truth was that in his previous life, the great magician Ni Bo Sai taught Jin the principles of magic, but their relationship was far from that of a teacher and a student. They both hated each other to the core.
-----------------------------------------
At that time, the Earth Dragon Academy no longer existed. The great magician Ni Bo Sai had moved to Ancestral Island, where he had set up a Magic Academy. The Ancestral Island King, the plague, saw this as a threat to his power and sent Jin on a mission to assassinate Ni Bo Sai.
Jin, who was waiting for the opportunity to get rid of and kill his mad master, found the refuge he had searched for so long in this mission. If he becomes a magician, his chances of succeeding in his plan will increase. Then, indeed, he became a disciple of the great magician.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed, his teacher is a powerful magician, but he was a lousy teacher with an even worse character.
Despite this, Jin respected him and did not think of betraying him, but with time he discovered some facts about Ni Bo Sai made the hair turns gray, and at the same time, Ni Bo Sai found out that Jin was one of the Sword King the Plague.
A cold war game between the student and the teacher had begun. The loser in it will pay the price with his life.
-------------------------------------------
Jin unintentionally mentioned something he shouldn't have said, and now he didn't know how to hide it. Fortunately for him, Du Bai's curiosity saved him from his dilemma and gave him a chance to change the topic.
Du Bai said, asking Zi Yun.
"Sorry for the interruption, but why would the great magician want to make Jin his disciple?"
The answer came from Li Chui. Only she and Zi Yun knew that Jin summoned his spirit form from the spirit world using the spirits mirror. Of course, as a magician student, being a disciple of a great magician is the dream of every mage, but Jin dares to refuse it, so she sarcastically spoke with some annoyance and jealousy.
"Because he is a spiritualist, he can communicate with the world of spirits and ghosts."
Du Bai jumped up from his place as if a scorpion had stung him, his face turning pale, and he started turning left and right.
"Jin, you can summon ghosts? Can you see the dead? Are there ghosts here?"
Zi Yun laughed at Du Bai's actions before explaining it to him.
"Spirits are not ghosts, they are creatures with magical powers that live in another dimension, Jin is not considered a spiritualist yet, he only has spiritual powers, to become a spiritualist able to use spiritual tools to their limits and make contracts with spirits, he has to train hard, and he will not find better than the great magician as his teacher."
Du Bai didn't quite understand it, and all that stuck in his head was the phrase 'Establishing a Contract with spirit,' so he rubbed his head as he looked at Jin.
"And what about the contract with the devi...?"
*** Du Baaai ***
Jin's scream terrified everyone, two cold rays shooting out from his crimson eyes made Du Bai immediately apologize and shrink into his place, leaving the rest in a daze. Despite this, Jin returned to the topic as if nothing had happened, turned toward Zi Yun, and said.
"My lady, I have no intention to become Ni Bo Sai's disciple for a simple reason. My spirit form is not magical, and I can't reach a high magical rank in the future. So how can you ask me to forsake the warrior's path to a path that is not guaranteed?"
Jin then took an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her, continuing his word.
"In order to become an honorary student, I have to make contributions to the academy, in this envelope is some important information, so I need you to check what is inside the envelope ."
After Jin shouted at his friend, it was clear that Jin had his reasons for not accepting Zi Yun's offer, so she had no choice but to sigh and take the envelope from his hand, and before asking about its content, Han Seol jumped into the middle of their conversation.
"What do you mean by an honorary student? You will be unprotected, and that would be bad for me."
"Bad for you?… What does it concern you if I become his disciple or not? And by the way, why are you here?" Jin looked at Han Seol as he tilted his head in her direction curiously.
Of all the people present this night, Han Seol was the only one whom Jin didn't know why she had come, and that puzzled him, but her answer was something he could have never expected.
"Because you have to become a disciple of the great magician Ni Bo Sai so that I can marry you."
*** What? marriage? ***
Everyone screamed at the same time, their mouths touching the ground.
Jin put a smile on his face and sweetly talked to the girls.
"It looks like we've sorted out all the remarkable issues. I'm tired now, and tomorrow will be a busy day, so you can leave now."
That was Jin's answer to Han Seol. He didn't even ask her why she wanted to marry him. He just pretended he didn't hear anything and kicked her out respectfully, but it seemed to hurt her pride because he ignored her.
"It would be a fake marriage just to get rid of my arranged marriage, and of course, it wouldn't be for free, and it wouldn't hurt you to be the husband of the most beautiful girl in the academy."
"You overestimate yourself. You're not even the prettiest girl in this room."
Jin answered her with anger. This girl wanted to bring him into her personal problems without any warning and she wasn't any normal girl. She bears the same last name as the ruling family, and Jin's roots go back to their enemies, the Sao family.
The moment they find out that he is the grandson of the deposed King and the son of Prince Sao Bai, they will behead him without hesitation.
Before joining the academy, his mother was completely against the idea. Even after dozens of promises that he would hide his identity well and won't get involved with any member of the Han family, the mother kept refusing and did not allow him to join. In the end, Si Mar stepped in and granted Jin the great magician's charter.
The royal family will think a hundred times before trying to touch the hair of someone under his protection. Despite this, he realizes that if he is discovered, he will not only have to leave the academy but the entire kingdom.
And here she is now standing in front of him, one of the daughters of the Han family asking him to marry her. If he gets involved with her, he will be just like the one who brought ruin to his house with his own hands.
"Why should I get involved in your own problems?"
Jin replied very coldly and waved his hand to her to leave, but the beautiful girl didn't give up and responded with the strongest weapon a woman has... her tears.
"Struggle and tear the threads that bind you... Your fault is that you planted those words in my head after I was satisfied with my destiny to be a puppet in their hands."
Jin remembered this sentence, he had said it to her, but this didn't change anything. "Your plan will not work because I will not be a disciple to Ni Bo Sai."
And without waiting for her answer, he continued his words, cutting off any way to continue talking.
"Lian, there is a lot to discuss, so you should stay for a while."
Han Seol wiped her tears and left the house. Li Chui and Zi Yun had no choice but to follow her. They were both sympathetic to her.
A girl of her stature requesting something like that was a sign of her desperation, but on the other hand, Jin was right. No one would want to get involved with the Han family.
The party ended, and everyone left. Du Bai walked towards Jin and asked him with a serious face.
"Jin, there is an important thing I have to ask you about, it is about Han Seol… You said she is not the prettiest girl in the room, so who do you think is the prettiest girl?"
Jin kept staring at Du Bai for a few seconds. That was the last thing he expected to hear now before he laughed.
"Ha-ha-ha… what are you thinking, man? I have not yet set foot on the academy's grounds. Yet, here I am receiving death calls from everywhere, and on top of that, my only friend has revealed my secret."
Jin's words made Du Bai feel even more guilt, Jin had already warned him not to mention the topic of the devil in front of anyone, but he did.
A confused look appeared on Lian's face and asked.
"What do you mean by death calls? I understand that you do not want to get involved with the royal family, but what would harm you if they knew that you were a spiritualist. On the contrary, this would raise your status."
The village where Lian came from is famous for its magicians, and although she is a warrior and because of the red-haired girl's companionship, she knows that the meaning of the word devil that Du Bai mentioned earlier was the spirit form that has consciousness on its own, and a contract can be established with them.
Spiritual magicians are essential for any kingdom. They can raise the warrior's level, activate spiritual tools, and they could even tame spiritual beasts, so it is natural to take care of those with spiritual powers and train them in the hope that they will become spiritualists in the future to increase the strength of the kingdom.
Because Lian found out that Jin was a spiritualist, Du Bai's guilt only increased. However, Jin didn't mind explaining the situation to her. He knew that she was a trustworthy person.
"Yes, it will hurt me a lot. As for the great magician, Ni Bo Sai is not looking for those with spiritual powers to help them to become spiritualists to increase the kingdom power, but rather he is trying to create a spiritualist to sacrifice him later."
The basic condition for a great magician to be promoted to a holy magician is to become a spiritualist. Suppose he is not born with spiritual power. In that case, he must meditate for dozens of years in the spirits world to reach enlightenment and understand the realities of spirits.
"But it seems that the great magicians have found a shortcut to seize this ability after destroying a spiritual body through a forbidden magical ritual."
The holy magician was a legendary entity equal to the heavenly realm of the warriors, which is the ambition and dream of every magician, this overwhelming power is enough to drive the greedy madmen and drool, and the loss of an innocent soul would not have prevented them from doing so, instead, they would see it as an honor for the victim.
Jin, who came from the future, not only heard of this ritual, but he was also about to be one of its victims.
In a future that no longer exists and in the conflict between teacher and student back then, Ni Bo Sai was bent on killing his disciple, the half-human half-Oris who, although he didn't have a spirit form back then, he had managed to become a spiritualist.
But, of course, Jin, named Sixth at that time, also had his plans and hired the only one out of the six more powerful assassins than him, First. So the great magician ended up withdrawing to the land of humans with severe injuries due to his defeat.
The funny thing about all of this is that they later discovered that gaining spirituality in this way destroys all chances of a great magician being promoted to a holy magician.
When Jin explained the matter to them, their tongues held in amazement, and Du bai's face became paler. If Lian discovered the matter, then Zi Yun surely also discovered it.
"Do you think Zi Yun will inform the great magician that you have already become a spiritualist? Is she aware of his plans?"
When Lian mentioned Zi Yin, Jin smiled broadly and turned to his pale friend. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Zi Yun is a good lady and does not know about Ni Bo Sai's plans. I'm sure she will respect my wish to hide it and won't say anything."
Du Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, regaining the color of his face, but at the same time, he remembered another matter that might expose them in the future.
"When I break through to the soul realm, everyone will discover that I can use the Ice Law. They will connect it with you and find out that I have made a contract with my devil."
Du Bai's words alerted Lian to another matter, and she added,
"When you summoned Eunhwa, you talked to her in front of everyone, isn't this proof that you are a spiritualist?"
Jin smiled and answered their question.
"Spirit form and spiritual power are both coming from the spirit world, so it's normal for the owner of the spiritual power to have a contract with his devil, so they won't know that I have become a spiritualist already and they would think that I only have spiritual power and didn't become spiritualist yet."
Then Jin turned towards Du Bai and said
"As for you, Du Bai, everyone knows that your spirit form has not been completed yet, so you will tell everyone that your spirit form is an Ice Hawk and that you succeeded in mastering the Ice Law with the help of an Ice beasts essence."
Many of the spirit beast forms have their laws already known to the warriors. For example, the fire wolf spirit form has a fire law, and the mountain wolf spirit form has a lightning law, but knowing the law is one thing, and activating it is another.
So in an effort to imitate weapon spirit warriors, who can practice the laws early in the soul realm using holy weapons that match their spirit forms, many people who have a spirit beast form have tried to activate their law by eating the essence of a monster that has an elemental law similar to their spirit form law.
For example, a person who has a fire wolf spirit form that has the fire law would need to eat the essence of a monster that contains the fire law, but the success rate is very low due to the impurities contained in essence.
"What are you saying Jin? you can only try to activate the laws of the beast form by using purified essence, and the success rate of that does not exceed thirty percent, even if they believe that I am lucky, who would believe that I can buy the purified beast essence."
Du Bai said doubtfully, he had some knowledge about these matters and how precious the purified beast essence is, Jin replied, pointing at Lian.
"Here comes Lian's turn, I've already seen her white aura, her pure energy can reduce the impurities contained in the beast's essence, we will say that she helped you purify the essence of an ice beast for you, so no one will suspect that you made a contract with your devil."
Lian, who didn't know about the skill she owned, was stunned by it. If she had known about it earlier, all her financial problems would have been over. Purifying the monster's essence would bring her a good income.
"Purifying the beast's essence and selling them is a good idea, but don't overdo it. Your energy is not stable yet." Jin warned. He could read her thoughts.
"Damn, was I thinking out loud again? What do you mean by my energy is unstable?" she said with a confused look on her face.
"That's what I wanted to discuss with you. I remember that your arm was damaged on the exam day when you broke the magic barrier, so I would like to suggest to you a magic that will help you stabilize your energy. In return, I will borrow some of your energy." Jin said as he looked into her eyes seriously.
"Okay, when do we start?" Lian nodded, excited to know when Jin would help her.
"Aren't you worried that I will borrow some of your energy?" Jin said, looking at Lian as if he was looking at a foolish girl.
Lian turned her face away and muttered shyly audibly.
'Idiot, after I agreed to stay by your side, you still ask a question like that.'
"Damn, did I say that out loud?"
"I didn't hear anything," Du Bai said.
Jin sighed when he heard her words. This girl had misunderstood him earlier, then he looked at her hand and said, "Okay, give me your right hand."
From his magic ring, a magic circle shone slightly on the palm of her right hand before disappearing.
"I'll get my magic circle back when your energy gets stable. Tomorrow will be a hard day, so go get some rest now."
--------------------------------------------------
Lian left the place, and the two young men were left alone. Du Bai looked at Jin, who was deep in his thoughts, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I think that having a great magician protecting our backs is not a bad idea," Jin muttered his thoughts to Du Bai.
"Are you crazy? Ni Bo Sai won't hesitate to kill you to become a holy magician," Du Bai shouted as he looked at Jin like crazy.
"The support I'm talking about will be from the Fifth Great Magician, and he's much stronger than that Ni Bo Sai," Jin said, shaking his head.
Du Bai asked, amazement on his face.
"Fifth!!!! Is there another great magician besides the four known ones? Why would this magician support you if he was so powerful?"
A wide smile appeared on Jin's face, and he said:
"Because I am the one who will make him a great magician."
