All Novel Full Chapter 108 - Benefits
But for the people that didn't know these facts, it was like a blow to the gut
"Heavens! what nonsense am I hearing!"
"Impossible. Even the Sword Saint wasn't this talented!"
Right as the commotion was getting out of hand, Vincent got up from his seat and floated down in front of Dante
"Dante Kinsman, correct?"
"I have just one question to ask you.
Are you willing to join My Department as my disciple?"
But before Dante could even reply, he was interrupted by a loud cry.
"Hold on!!"
A bright light came flashing across the sky, landing beside Vincent.
it was an old man with a scholarly aura around him dressed in expensive robes
"Vincent, you crafty old dog! No wonder you snuck over to watch these entrance tests. Your plan was to steal away a talented disciple all along!"
After raging at Vincent, the elder collected himself before turning towards Dante with a smile
"let me introduce myself. My name is Marcus, the current head of the Department of Governance and Internal affairs, and I have one question to ask.
Are you willing to join my department as my disciple?"
Dante was caught off guard.
Another department head had appeared and asked him to become his disciple from out of nowhere!
In just a brief second, two of the most powerful people inside of the whole academy were offering him the position of their disciple!
But before Dante could even reach a conclusion, two more voices started shouting his way
"Don't listen to them. My Alchemy department can offer you more training resources than you could ever imagine!"
"Ignore that old hag. My Weapons Department will grant you more treasures than you could ever hope for!"
two more people jumped out of nowhere and also began offering Dante places in their department
it got to the point where all four department heads started arguing with each other, throwing all sorts of insults and curses all over the place
"Hold on!" Shouted Dante
"everyone is speaking at the same time, so there's just no way for me to hear anything!"
Dante's outburst stunned all the department heads for a second.
Finally, with the newfound silence, Dante got to see the two new individuals who appeared.
One was an old lady in a full purple robe while the other was a bald, muscular old man with a wide smile on his face.
hearing Dante's outburst, the smiling old man burst out into loud laughter
"Hahaha! You've got some spirit to you, don't you kid?
To shout at the four Department heads of The Hidden Dragon Academy, even I didn't have the balls to do that at your age!"
As he was speaking, the smiling old man finally introduced himself
"My name is Ingram, the current head of the Department of Weapons and Arrays!
If you do end up choosing to become my disciple, just know that the treasure and weapons you would receive would be 10 times better"
but before Dante could even respond, the old lady also started speaking
"Don't be blinded by the greed of treasures! The most important thing to a cultivator is his cultivation resources and no other faction has more cultivation resources than alchemy department!"
As the old lady was speaking, a proud smile appeared on her face.
"As My disciple, I can guarantee that the number of alchemal pills you will get will not be less than anybody in the whole of the Hidden Dragon Academy!"
Listening in on the tempting offers the other department heads were offering, Marcus knew that he had to up his game if he wanted any chance of getting Dante to join him
"Olivia, stop boasting! Dante, don't be blinded by the offers these old fools are trying to sell you.
The department of governance is and will always remain the most influential department in the whole of the Vaenam kingdom.
Riches, treasures, Power.
All these can be guaranteed if you just join the department of Governance "
Dante was overwhelmed by these choices.
All department heads wanted him as their disciple and he definitely wouldn't be able to choose the better faction at such short notice.
But as Dante stood there puzzled, Vincent Finaly acted.
Vincent knew he couldn't stay patient any longer. He couldn't let such a rare talent slip into the other department's hands.
he had to pull out his hole card!
"Dante, listen to this.
How about I give you a position better than one of the disciple of any department head?"
"Huh?"
Dante's attention was quickly grabbed by Vincent's bold words
"You heard me right. I'll give you a position better than the head of any disciple.
I'll make you the Dragon son of the Department of War! "
As soon as the other department heads heard what Vincent said, they almost went crazy
"Dragon son? so soon Vincent. Have you gone mad!"
"Even if his talent is unheard of, appointing a Dragon Son so recklessly is asking for danger Vincent."
Vincent ignored the crowd of the other department heads as he continued speaking
"A Dragon Son is a position of absolute power in the Hidden Dragon Academy.
Their power is so great that the only people truly above them are the four Department Heads and the Principal of the academy.
Even if you became a disciple of a department head, it would only grant you a fraction of the power that a dragon son had."
But Dante wasn't stupid, he wouldn't just agree to Vincent's offer so easily
"But why should I agree to be the dragon son of our department? Can't I become the one of another department?"
hearing Dante's question, Vincent burst out into a smug laughter
"Hahaha! It's not that simple, we can't just have as many Dragon sons in the academy as we please.
Only one Dragon son is allowed in each department and just look at the ugly expressions on their faces.
They already have a dragon son in their department! Even if they wanted to make you a Dragon son, they still couldn't!"
The best thing they can offer you is a place as a Disciple and don't be fooled by their glamourous offers. Nothing will ever compare to the power of the Dragon Son!"
listening to Vincent's points, Dante's last thoughts about hesitation completely vanished.
"Well, since there's no other offer can even compare to yours, it's obvious that I'll become the Dragon Son of your department."
As soon as Dante said this, the friendly smiles on the department heads vanished.
They were still Department Heads after all
They still had pride!
