is the son of the Holy See, but the master of black magic

Chapter 16
Young prodigies with high potential are born here.

Next, as long as he becomes an extraordinary person, he will surely be able to rise rapidly, amaze everyone, and become a hero in his country.

In the Starry Temple, the audience who witnessed Andy crushing their peers were all smiling and chatting with others, full of pride.

However, the constant bursts of applause and discussions were like basins of ice water pouring over Bishop Norman's heart, making him shiver all over.

Because he noticed it.

I noticed the coldness and hostility in the face of the professor opposite.

Although it was only a flash, it did not escape the eyes of Bishop Norman.

It was because he was always observing the other party, both openly and secretly.

From the start, watch!

And now, finally...

"You know, I suddenly remembered how to say that Far Eastern dialect."

The well-dressed old professor suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at Bishop Norman at the same table, "I mean, how should I describe your words."

"You mean..."

Bishop Norman felt bitter in his heart, but on the surface he looked cautious, "Human face and animal heart?"

"Oh, it's not that exaggerated."

The professor was amused, "It's just a duplicity."

"This... I don't understand what you mean."

"Very well, your reaction now reminds me of another adjective - pretending to be stupid."

Bishop Norman's expression froze when he heard the words, and he didn't speak again.

The smiling expression on his face slowly subsided.

Because he knew that there was no room for delay in today's matter, and the big man opposite him didn't intend to pretend anymore.

So after taking a deep breath, he said, "You didn't plan to let Andy go, did you?"

"Otherwise, Matthew wouldn't have been notified suddenly that there was an urgent task for him to do."

"of course."

The professor nodded, "That's why I'm very surprised, why do you still have to pretend to be hostile to that child and keep belittling him by pretending to be hostile to him?"

"Do you really think that doing this in front of me can protect him?"

"I don't have that confidence, but if it's just a talent for painting, I think you might not care so much about him..."

The old bishop's inexplicable words greeted him with a faint smile.

"So, you are really stupid. You know it's impossible, but you still pretend to be a villain."

"The bishop of a place pretends to be that kind of temperament, who can hide it from him?"

The Norman bishop was silent.

Although he was scolded, he was not angry.

In other words, in front of the other party, he has no right to be angry at all.

only……

Turning his head and looking down, the black-haired boy who was participating in the final duel, but the round-faced white-haired old man did not intend to give up like this.

"I know that Andy's appearance makes you feel very unhappy. I'm afraid that he will fall into the eyes of that adult and compete with the young masters in your family for qualifications."

After carefully organizing his words, Bishop Norman said: "But what if Andy will leave here and our country tonight?"

"Where is he going?"

The professor asked curiously: "Will you go halfway, stop that lord, and then rely on his outstanding talent to give us a surprise?"

"He's not going to do that at all."

Bishop Norman said in a low voice: "He doesn't even know the existence of that lord, and he doesn't understand at all how precious that quota is."

"Of course he doesn't know."

The professor nodded, "But Matthew knows."

When the name was mentioned, a sneer appeared on the old man's face, "Matthew Munster, he is really a strange person, but he happened to meet a child with some potential, and he wanted to use it to compete with us for the spot."

"I don't understand, where did he get his confidence?"

"Maybe Matthew just wants to cure the child's illness..."

The old bishop defended his former rival, "I didn't want to win the appreciation of that adult, let alone compete with the young masters of your family."

"Maybe so."

The professor nodded in agreement, "It stands to reason that it's unlikely that the lord will give the quota to a sick child."

"but."

He changed the subject and said indifferently, "What Matthew thinks is not important, what I think is important."

"And now, I think Andy, a child, shouldn't exist. That disobedient Matthew should also be educated."

This actually sounds exaggerated, very secondary.

But when he said it in the professor's mouth, it was so natural, without any strangeness, as if it was the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

After hearing the words, Bishop Norman, who had been humbled all the time, froze.

He stared intently at the other party, but he couldn't see the slightest hint of soft-heartedness on the other party's face.

So the bishop finally got a little annoyed.

In other words, from the beginning of the assessment to the present, the grievance and anger that had been accumulated in the bottom of my heart for a long time were unbearable at this moment, and finally broke out.

"Although I don't want to say this, but—you are just a housekeeper! What right do you have to belittle an exorcist like Matthew who has done countless things!?"

"While he was fighting bloody battles for the church, you would only drink tea and watch a show here! Relying on the power given to you by the royal family, you can make irresponsible remarks, wanton insults, and play with other people's lives!"

"I don't understand, what qualifications do you have to do this?!"

These words are full of emotions, and it is actually quite appropriate for a young man, but it seems abrupt for an old bishop.

Obtrusive, but piercing.

However, the professor-like old man was not angry when he heard the words, "Housekeeper. Well, thank you for reminding me of my identity."

Saying so, he smiled slightly, leaning back on the high-backed chair, looking leisurely and content.

"Then next, you are going to stand by my humble old housekeeper."

"Or do you want to stand beside that boy with unlimited potential who is destined to become a hero in the future?"

This can be said to be forced, and there is no longer any room for euphemism.

Professor, no, after the steward finished speaking, his eyes stopped looking at Bishop Norman.

Instead, he turned his head away and continued to enjoy the wonderful performance of the boy below, applauding from time to time.

Obviously, he didn't care what the Norman Bishop's next reply was.

The old bishop sitting opposite him turned red from anger and trembled all over.

He was obviously very angry, and he clenched his fist under the table tightly, as if he wanted to swing it up and hit the back of the opponent's head!

But in the end, after being angry for nearly 10 minutes, the old man slumped on the high-back chair.

Bishop Norman's tone was bitter as he stared at the old butler who didn't even look at him with the cloudy eyes that were much darker than before.

"Of course, of course I'm on your side."

"very good."

The housekeeper said without turning his head: "Then what should I do next, don't I need to teach you?"

"I see."

When he said this, the Norman bishop restrained all his emotions, and said with a deadpan expression:

"But I think Andy's reputation has spread, and it wouldn't look good on your face if you died here, would you?"

"That's right, it's better to stop the drug and let him die naturally."

The steward agreed, "Otherwise, if this matter gets to the ears of that adult, I'm afraid he will be unhappy. It will make it look like we are deliberately attacking our competitors."

Is not it?
Bishop Norman thought inwardly.

But then, he fell silent.

Because he understood the meaning of the other party's words.

I finally figured it out, why the other party didn't attack immediately after they came, but chose to watch the show here for a long time——

Butler, you didn't take Andy as a competitor at all!

Because even if Andy is alive and well, he is not qualified to step on the stage and compete with the dudes of the royal family.

That's not something his class should participate in!
As for why he is obviously not qualified, but still let him die...

It's just a matter of handling it casually, just in case!
