What?
The hall broke out into a sea of voices at the news. Everyone was shocked, thinking they had heard wrongly.
It was important to note that the Lange household operated on a strict set of rules, and it took a regular pupil at least two years to be considered one of the Master's own.
Yet 'Beka' was not even related to the Langes, and was a mere pupil from another sect. On top of that, he had been made Tuji's own pupil in barely two days. This was unbelievable.
What…
Circe jerked at the news from where she stood as well, her brain buzzing blankly as she stared at Tuji in shock.
What had gotten into her father?
He barely knew anything about Beka. Why was he making him his own pupil just like that?
More importantly, her father had been suspicious of Beka's identity all this time. Seeing him change his mind so suddenly threw her off guard greatly.
"Master!"
Just as Circe was reeling in shock, an elder could not help but step up to offer a word of advice. "Master… Beka's not related to us Langes. It's unfair to take him in as a pupil."
As he spoke, he cast a glance at Antigonus. The fellow looked painfully average, and nothing like a genius with potential.
What the elder did not know then was that Antigonus had hidden his Fiend soul energy, and that was why the elder did not sense anything.
"Yes, Master. He's lucky enough to even be taken in by the Langes to begin with…"
"Please think this through, Master."
The crowd grew abuzz as everyone spoke at the same time, unable to hide their disdain for Antigonus. The elite pupils were especially frustrated, as they had worked their way up to gain their position on their own. And here Beka was, being taken in by the head as his own pupil in a mere two days. What right did he have?
Ha ha…
