I Reincarnated as a Bad Girl

Chapter 2: The Elder Disciple

"So why can't I be grandpa?" I asked again. Right now I'm sitting on Dean Wason's lap wiggling my legs.

"Hmmm" Dean Wason muttered lightly. "The "match was only for the chosen disciples of the elders. You can't come because you're not a disciple of any elder"

I glanced at Robert for a moment. I was Robert's student, but Robert was just a student in the Magic Tower. Let's just say I'm an outer disciple and Robert is an inner disciple. I have to be an inner disciple to be able to come. But it's an impossible thing.

There was no prohibition for nobles to join the magic tower. And chose one of the elders as his teacher. But I can't betray Robert. I mean, I can't beat up my master! And choose another master!

I bow my head a little disappointed. It seems I should give up...?

Robert suddenly approached me. And started to stroke my head. "It's okay." he said gently.

I raised my head to look at him. "Master...?" I tilted my head.

"It's okay if you want to go into the magic tower and make the elder your teacher. I don't have a problem. And also I never doubted your ability Eva..."

"...." I just kept quiet and didn't answer.

"You want to be my student?" sidelines Dean Wason suddenly. "I won't let you down. I'll teach you some useful spells" Dean Wason's eyes looked at Robert. "More than the boy could teach"

Signs of annoyance appeared in Robert's head. He looked at Dean Wason with wide-eyed, angry. "No!" said firmly. "Eva can only be Dean Cristal's student!" expostulation.

'I will not let my Evaku be touched every day by those grandfathers. Being student? Hmph, step over my corpse first!' thought Robert while staring at Dean Wason hates.

He really wanted to pull his little Eva from the lap of the old man and bring her into his own lap.

I looked at the young man and grandfather in front of me. They look at each other. I don't know why my back is goosebumps. I don't know what they're thinking. But somehow I feel this is me...involving me?

They stared at each other for a few minutes.

"Alright" said Dean Wason. He's capitulating. "Little girl, Cristal will be your teacher from now on" he said to me as he looked at Dean Cristal.

Dean Cristal is a middle-aged woman. His face had several wrinkled lines that could not hide his age. But somehow her figure is very charming, not hiding that she is a beautiful woman in her youth. I've heard rumors that witches know the secret of youth. Until they were a hundred years old, they looked like beautiful uncles and aunts.

But why do the three elders I see are like grandparents and grandmothers. Only Dean Caro looks like he's in his mid-fifties. Were these elders not wearing ageless magic, or were they over a hundred years old? If they were hundreds of years old, I would be horrified to think about them. They really looked like immortals (indigenous people).

It is well known to everyone that witches have a longer life. The nobles in this country only have an average lifespan, the oldest being 150 years. Some witches are 500 years old or older. But they still could not defeat the priesthood of the elves. The elves were thousands of years old, and they were always ageless, never aging.

"I immediately stood up and saluted Dean Cristal. "Include me Eva van Court, I said, widening my dress. "Please guide for the future Master"

Dean Cristal just smiled, making the wrinkles around his eyes seem clearer. And his face became more friendly. He just nodded in agreement to my greeting.

Looking at Eva's anxious face, Dean Wason simply smiled. "No need to worry" he said persuaded. "I told Duke Court that I invited you to the Magic Tower because you were Robert's student. Don't fret. You can still take a little more vacation here. Don't want to go around?"

Uwahhh!! The Magic Tower...

I will not miss this opportunity. The novel said that the Magic Tower was a powerful organization. But that's just nothing more. Even in the novel do not mention the names of the second Elder and the third elder. Dean Leon is simply called 'Second Elder' and Dean Cristal is the 'Third Elder'. They are not explained further in the novel as they are just small supporting characters.

How it was located, the structure, and the people in the Magic Tower were also not explained specifically. It was because Robert had already come out of the Magic Tower, so the background of the events was more in the academy. Although Dean Caro was an antagonist, he never had any dialogue in the novel, only character description. It only appears in one chapter. Charlotte has more parts. Robert and Dean Caro's conflict is deep.

"I want to, I want to, Grandpa!" I nodded enthusiastically.

"I'll let Robert accompany you" Dean Wason said. "You can find me again later"

"Don't forget to look for me after playing" interrupted Dean Cristal suddenly.

I nodded "Good teacher"

Robert immediately glanced at me and held my hand enthusiastically. "Come, I'll take you around" he said.

And they both left the elders for the exit.

***

The room was silent until Eva and Robert actually stepped out. Only the elders were left in it.

"How are you gonna handle Caro?" dean Leon broke the silence.

Dean Wason nodded. "I don't know. It depends on the young man's decision. Even so they are father and son. I can't just make decisions that make me hate a lot of people"

"But the man has gone too far" Dean Cristal chimed in. "I'm afraid that if we let him go, he's going to get even crazier. And I'm afraid, when we find out, it's too late..."

"I know we let venomous snakes nest between us. That's why we have to be vigilant, because we don't know what that person is thinking" Dean Wason warned. "Somehow I feel bad. I feel like something big will happen later. We need to be more vigilant"

Dean Wason looked at Dean Cristal.

"How's my granddaughter?" tanyakanya.

"He's not bad" Dean Cristal replied directly. "I've heard rumors that duke Court's daughter is a genius. Robert proved it. He was protective of the little girl. We know what kind of person Robert is. Only strong people and geniuses could interest him. I can't wait to train him"

"Hm, my granddaughter did not disappoint" Dean Wason said proudly. "Only a girl seems to be suitable to be my granddaughter"
