Victor in formal attire raised his head and walked to the mage management department located in the first and fifth districts of the Tower of Babel.
"Hello, I want to update my arcane badge..."
Victor politely said to the female staff sitting behind the counter: "This is my arcane badge."
While talking, Victor handed over the first-class arcane badge with a dark blue star on the silver-grey background on his chest.
"Please wait… "
This female staff member, who is a third-level ring mage and second-level arcanist, was busy, repeating without looking up: "Please wait a moment, I will handle the business for you right away."
"First-level arcanist... Oh my god! I was promoted directly to fourth-level arcanist!!"
The exclamation of the female staff caught the attention of other staff in the mage management department.
"What's wrong? Aina? Has something happened?"
Another male staff member hurried over and stared at Victor's figure with his hostile gaze, "Did this guy act on you?"
"Oh, what did you say, Leo?"
The face of the female staff member named Aina was immediately blushed, "It has nothing to do with this gentleman, it seems that there was a mistake in my work..."
Ina quickly explained, and at the same time gave Victor an apologetic smile.
The male staff member, who knew he was making a fuss, gave Aina a silly smile, and touched the back of his head somewhat at a loss.
"Leo, come and help me see... This gentleman's arcane badge has been directly upgraded from level one to level four. Something must be wrong!"
After hearing Aina's words, the male staff named Leo leaned over with joy.
Victor looked amusedly at the two beautiful flowers in front of him, and shook his head speechlessly.
"... This is not a problem, as long as I check the arcane points revenue and expenditure details of this badge, I can figure out what is going on..."
"Um... let me see..."
"... Thesis award, 100 arcane points? It's really rare..."
"Ainsted School of Magic, teacher subsidy, 4 arcane points..."
"Mage Trading Center, spend 70 arcane points..."
"Mage Trading Center, spend 34 arcane points..."
"Well, there is another record... It's today..."
"... 3000 Arcane Points!! It was awarded by Lord Grant..."
After seeing this message, the two staff members finally figured out the source of the Arcane Points Victor had obtained.
"Ah! This... Well, Mr. Victor, your precious time was lost due to my work mistakes, please allow me to sincerely apologize to you..."
The female staff member Aina leaned over to salute Victor awkwardly, and at the same time she pulled on the guy named Leo.
"It's okay! Please help me update the information on the arcane badge as soon as possible."
Victor didn't have any irritation, he still had a gentle expression on his face.
Soon after, three more twinkling dark blue stars appeared on the silver-grey arcane badge with a book background on Victor's chest.
"Thank you for your support to our work! May you be on the road of truth until eternity..."
Facing the compliments from Ina and Leo, Victor nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then turned and left the counter.
As he walked toward the door, there were bursts of noisy voices in the management department of the wizard.
"The truth is here! The winner of this year's Sistir Honor Award has been born..."
"Who is it? You guys just say it!!"
"Mr. Victor Tisrael, he is the youngest winner in history... No one!!"
"Is there a magical image of Mr. Victor? I really want to know what he looks like..."
"You nympho! You don't want to think about it... For the safety of the winners, the Magic Society keeps all their information confidential..."
"But... Mr. Victor's strength is too low! He turned out to be a first-level mage..."
"Think about it from another angle, and you'll understand! Mr. Victor has achieved such great results in arcane arts, he must have spent the time to improve his strength on research..."
"Oh! This is the sorrow of the previous Sistir Prize winners... These arcane geniuses suffered all kinds of accidents because of their low strength..."
"... There's no way, so mages are not omnipotent! It's really difficult to advance both the strength and arcane research side by side..."
"..."
Behind the office counter, Aina and Leo, when they heard that the winner of the Sistyl Award was Mr. Victor, they both looked at each other first, and then were overwhelmed with joy.
"... The gentleman just now..."
"Mr. Victor!!"
"He is the winner of the Sistir Honor Award?"
"I think there is no doubt about it..."
"I talked to him?"
"Um… "
"Mr. Victor smiled at me?"
"..."
"Does Mr. Victor have a crush on me?"
"Aina..."
"Hee hee! You piece of wood, I am teasing you to play with..."
"... My ￥%#&..."
The words of the people did not stop Victor. After updating the information in the arcane badge, he immediately returned to the Einsed School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and handed over the teaching tasks to Dean Steele. Completed the resignation procedures.
"Victor, maybe your teaching method is right... But even so, the tradition of the wizard cannot be easily changed..."
"I understand... Dean Steele, I am very grateful for your care for me during this time. If you hadn't resisted the pressure of the Sissel family, I guess I would be the first to be cleared out of the Magic Academy in the shortest time 'S teacher..."
"Be vigilant! Although the Sissel family will restrain their behavior within the rules, for a family of wizards like them, secretly dirty means will not be lacking..."
"Thank you for your warning."
"Remember one thing: only if you live, everything will be possible."
After bidding farewell to Dean Steele, Victor left the School of Magic amid the eager greetings of teachers and students, and returned to the floating city "Skasiti" in an airship.
"... The solid first step has been taken..."
Once again, Victor stood in front of the Tower of Babel and was deeply moved. He is no longer the apprentice of the mage more than a month ago.
After many honors were added, Victor's every move has completely fallen into the sight of some "wishful people", which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Perhaps after joining the research project of Lord Felton Antonia, this situation of being secretly monitored will be changed..."
After sorting out his mixed thoughts, Victor regained his spirit and stepped into the main gate of the Tower of Babel.
"It's nice to meet you... Your Excellency Victor."
"Me too, Mr. Prometheus..."
"..."
