I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Chapter 115: Ghostly Apprentice

Julius gulped in anticipation at her serious words.Simultaneously, Adam gazed at her sceptically. Did she really have to make the discussion sound so dramatic? What was so crucial? He clicked his tongue while waiting for her next words.

"I want you to become my assistant and disciple!" She revealed. However, despite her kind smile and beautiful face, Julius and Adam's eyes instinctively slipped to the side, hints of annoyance in them at the familiar offer.

"Why is it that bullshit apprenticeship proposal again?" Adam said with a frown. He didn't really want to be anyone's disciple. But if he ever had to choose, he would pick Shepard as the man had much more authority and seemed more powerful.

"Refuse," Adam instructed, waving his hands left and right, showing his strong disapproval.

As Julius conveyed Adam's words, Elysia's eyes narrowed into thin slits, wisps of green mana emanating from them.

"Oh? But the offer wasn't directed at you, boy. You are mediocre at best. It's such a shame that someone like you shares our natural affinity with nature." She disdainfully addressed Julius before continuing, locking her gaze to the side. "I'm speaking to your invisible friend."

Upon hearing her belittle Julius, Adam's lips twitched, his annoyance reaching new peaks.

"I agree he is mediocre." He stared, making Julius lower his head in shame once more. "But that's only when you compare him to me! Who are you to bully him?" He snorted angrily before using his mana to write his response directly.

Elysia clenched her fists tightly, holding herself back after reading the message. "I don't want to be your disciple.

"I'm not as stupid as you. Taking him as my apprentice? I can't even see or hear him without using an artefact!" He answered Elysia's question before sarcastically adding, "I want to see Shepard's reaction after he learns about your shenanigans. After all, you don't see mages trying to steal an arcanist every day."

With nothing more to say to the pointed-eared teacher, flames enveloped Vikram's form, leaving his final words lingering in the room as he vanished within the fiery embrace.

Elysia paled slightly at the thought of having to face Shepard's wrath. But she quickly shook her head. What was the worst he could do? Make them suffer a bit? or reduce their salary?

He obviously wouldn't kill them anyway. So, it was worth trying. After all, as someone selected by an arcanist, the ghost should, at least, have the potential to reach tier five in both magic and alchemy.

If she could create a bond with him while he was still weak and help him progress, the future rewards promised to be bountiful.

She might have started her relationship with the ghost on the wrong foot, but she was determined to convince him. She pondered how in the silent room...

"I know! If I can get that book from my brother, I'm sure he'll beg me to become my disciple." She exclaimed before leaving the college and walking through the Gate.
