The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1678

“…Is there truly nobody else who was able to qualify entering the elite class? Only a single person was able to withstand three moves…?” asked an old master seated at the side—who had a long purple robe on—who went by the name of Master Jizo.

With the strength of a person who had entered the Third rank of the Avatar Realm, Master Jizo was one of the masters teaching the elite class in the academy.

“While it’s unfortunate that that’s the case, the truth is, not only did that student manage to withstand three moves, but he even ended up defeating his opponent! With how strong he was, I have a feeling that he’s already entered the Fifth-soul-rank within the Sage Realm!” replied Karsten.

“What? He actually managed to defeat a representative of our academy?” exclaimed Master Jizo in surprise.

Even the other three masters found themselves exchanging glances with each other. To think that their newest elite class student would have such amazing power…

They were right to be surprised. After all, throughout the academy’s many years, Gerald was the first and only person who had managed to defeat a representative selected by the academy!

“What’s his name, Karsten?” asked Sumeru, the dean of the academy.

“Gerald Crawford, sir!”

“Very well! Bring him over so that we can meet him!” ordered Sumeru.

“Right away!” replied Master Ykink as he immediately left to bring Gerald over.

Not long after, he returned with Gerald, and upon bowing again, he then introduced, “Dean and Masters, I present to you, Gerald Crawford!”

Appearing to hesitate for a brief moment, Gerald then replied, “…I’ve currently managed to enter the Fifth-soul-rank in the Sage Realm, Dean Sumeru!”

Naturally, that was a lie. The truth was, Gerald had already entered the Ninth-soul-rank in the Sage Realm. As for why the others hadn’t caught on, it was because Gerald had actively been concealing his true power.

“I see. No wonder you were able to defeat our representative! A Fifth-soul-rank Sage… You’re definitely a strong one, even among your future classmates in the elite class!” said Sumeru as he nodded in satisfaction.

“I’m flattered to hear that, dean!” replied Gerald with a smile.

“Nicely said! Now then, since you’re going to be a student in the elite class, you may now choose any of the four masters here to be your tutor!” said Sumeru.
