72: Jordan is a good teacher.
"Mentor Jordan..."
"This Bio-armor test pilot position, did you also help me get it?"
Greene was a little shocked. He never expected that Jordan had been secretly, silently, working for him, paving the way for him.
"Or what did you think?"
"A pie falling from the sky, just happening to land on your head?" Mentor Jordan said indifferently.
"You don't understand how powerful this third-generation Bio-armor is. Once you see and experience it, you'll know how precious this spot is."
"Many Grand Knights, Intermediate Wizard Apprentices, and even Advanced Wizard Apprentices are lining up, wanting to become Bio-armor test pilots."
"You mustn't take it lightly."
"I wouldn't..."
"Mentor, I will definitely cherish it. I won't let you down."
Greene quickly promised... "You still haven't quite understood one thing. Let me explain it to you this way."
Mentor Jordan was afraid that Greene still didn't understand the preciousness of this spot and wouldn't take it seriously enough, so he broke down the inside story and explained it to Greene in detail.
"Wearing this third-generation Bio-armor is equivalent to putting on a weakened version of a first-order protective force field, which can protect your life in all aspects."
"Moreover, not only in the Wizard Tower, you can wear it for test experiments."
"This Bio-armor also has experimental requirements for field testing."
"That is to say, you can also wear it to go out and fight, battle with Black Wizards, and compete for resources in the wild. All the resources you snatch will be yours."
Greene's eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief.
"This... this... this..."
"Mentor, can I understand it as..."
"I wear a powerful, life-saving Bio-armor from the academy to scavenge resources in the wild, and all my gains belong to me."
"This way, I get a Bio-armor for free, save my life, and can get some extra income, plus receive the salary of a Bio-armor test pilot."
"Isn't this killing three birds with one stone?"
... "Greene, you missed one more point."
Mentor Jordan corrected him:
"After you become a Bio-armor test pilot, you will have to cooperate in various magic spell confrontation experiments, physical confrontation experiments..."
"That is to say..."
"You will have to wear this third-generation Bio-armor and engage in magic spell combat with apprentices experienced in battle."
"You will also have to engage in physical confrontations and sparring with Grand Knights, and the academy will even capture some brutal demonized beasts for you to fight."
"During this process..."
"You can get the academy's top-notch combat training courses for free, and you can also enjoy the academy's free treatment for combat injuries and technical guidance after battle."
"Calculate it, how much do you gain?"
... "One, two, three, four, five,..."
Greene calculated in his mind, and the more he calculated, the happier he became. This was a huge win!
The gains were unimaginable.
Originally, Greene still had some reservations about going out to fight, after all, Wizard Apprentices were still too fragile.
Without strong defensive measures, Greene's sense of security would not be guaranteed at all.
Now it's fine.
As long as the so-called third-generation Bio-armor had half the protective effect Mentor Jordan mentioned, Greene would dare to rush out.
Not to mention all those other benefits.
Greene looked at Mentor Jordan. All of this was due to Mentor Jordan's selfless help.
Greene was so moved he was almost in tears.
He choked out:
"Mentor..."
... "Alright, Greene..."
"It's enough that you know how precious this opportunity is."
"I don't need your repayment. You just need to bring back a few more heads of Black Wizard Apprentices for me. Don't you dare wet your pants on the battlefield and make me lose face..."
Mentor Jordan waved his hand, dismissing Greene's next words.
"That's definitely not happening..."
"I have to make a name for myself. By then, I'll have my statue erected next to yours, for future generations to see."
"Mentor Jordan, you are truly amazing, to have taught such an excellent student..."
Greene said, smiling through his tears.
"Haha, are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"
"Both, both..."
"Hahahaha..."
The two finally burst into laughter, happily continuing to drink and eat, enjoying themselves thoroughly... After a drink with Mentor Jordan.
Greene and Mentor Jordan completely reconciled.
"Who could refuse a mentor who is so wholeheartedly good to you?"
Greene thought to himself:
"Although this mentor is a bit devious..."
"Although this mentor always challenges my physiological and psychological limits..."
"Although this mentor always leaves me with this or that kind of psychological shadow, making me wake up in a fright even when I dream at night..."
... "Uh..."
"Can't think any further."
"If I think too much, I'm afraid this drink will be for nothing..."
Greene quickly shook his head, throwing all those messy thoughts out of his mind.
At the same time, he kept chanting inwardly:
"Mentor Jordan is a good mentor..."
"Mentor Jordan is a good mentor..."
"Mentor Jordan is a good mentor..."
"He's doing it all for my own good..."
"He's doing it all for my own good..."
"He's doing it all for my own good..."
... After a while.
Greene successfully hypnotized himself. Mentor Jordan really was a good mentor.
I cannot let him down;
I want to become the strongest Grand Knight in the academy;
I want to become a Formal Wizard!
Oh, right, what should I do next?
That's right, find Adler!
... Greene found Adler, who was slightly tipsy, at the Battle Axe Bar.
Seeing his slightly red face, Greene knew that he wasn't drunk yet and was still sober.
"Hey, Adler, drinking alone?"
"Barbara, give me two bloody marys."
"Adler, I'll buy you a bloody mary, consider it my apology."
Greene gave Adler a friendly Knight's greeting with his fist the size of a sandbag:
— — — that is, he heavily thumped his chest.
Both were Bloodline Great Knights in their peak condition, and the thumping sound echoed through the entire Battle Axe Bar with a booming noise.
It caused all the apprentices in the hall to look over, and upon seeing that they were two bear-like figures, they all turned back, acting as if nothing had happened.
"Greene, what's up? Why do you need to apologize to me?"
"Don't say that. What's our relationship? Saying such things, doesn't it hurt my feelings?"
Adler said casually.
"Brother, it's like this."
"Didn't I ask you to help me find a practical training course before?"
"But now, I don't need it, so I'm very sorry for making you run around for nothing, and possibly even incurring a favor."
Greene spoke frankly, his tone full of apology... "Hey..."
"That matter."
"You don't need to apologize. I haven't had time to talk to my captain yet."
"He's been busy changing dressings and enjoying family life these past few days. I originally arranged to meet him here for a drink today and then discuss this matter."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Adler slapped his thigh.
"The captain hasn't arrived yet, and you came first."
"By the way, Greene, what happened?"
"You were so firm about it before, and your intention seemed very strong."
"How come you changed your mind after just two days?"
"Is it because you're short on money? It's fine, I earned over a thousand magic stones on this mission."
Adler clearly displayed 'no shortage of money' on his face.
"I'll lend it all to you."
Adler waved his hand generously...
