"Is that the so called Quadra Elemental Mage?"
"So what if he has four elemensts?"
"Looks like all he has to show is his face"
"Look how he's acting like he's better than us"
"Did you see, he came with the Deputy headmistress just now"
"The two of them looked so perfect, Like a couple"
"Does Jamie like the Deputy Headmistress? He was definitely smiling and I saw It"
"Do they know each other?"
"Why did the royal family issud a decree for him?"
Many nobles and newly attended students kept talking about them in low voices but the powerful people in the room can hear them clearly.
Jamie also heard many things loud and clear because of his [SENSE] and he couldn't help but shook his head with a light laught.
'Well at least she'll hear some of this and will remeber some things' He had a smile on his face as he looked toward the figure standing on the high platform getting everyone's attention.
"I don't like how that child from the walker house is getting all the attention." A middle aged man with blonde hair and a blonde mustache spoke up, he was Duke Kaius Hymen, One of the twenty Dukes on the continent. But it seems only the two dukes on each side of him heard his voice like he was talking to them only.
"Hahahaha, Hymen you're always on edge when it comes to that Rufus don't you." A man with black hair sitting beside Duke Hymen spoke laughing.
"You already know It Norvius. I hate those Walkers." Duke Hymen said to the Black haired man assumed to be Duke Norvius Cornwell.
"You still can't forget those things that happened in the past Hymen?" This time the other person beside him, Duke Eric Hartman said to Hymen looking at him, amused by his anger. He had silver shining hair and looks no younger than Rufus.
"How can I ever forget the humiliations we suffered back then?" Hymen raised his voice slightly clenching his fists looking at Eric.
"It's not about forgetting Hymen, We all remember things back In the past. That Rufus was not someone we could defeat no matter what we did, He stole our spotlight almost every time." Norvius said remembering how he was humiliated acting all arrogant before getting beaten up by Rufus back in his academy days.
"This place brings unsightly memories. I hate being here. If not for my son I wouldn't have bothered with this banquet." Eric spoke up sighing lightly.
"We're all invited every time because our children are on the discipline council for now. Just wait until they graduate so we don't have to attend to these troublesome things." Norvius laughed shaking his head looking at Eric.
"I know we can't do anything to that boy because It's pretty much certain that his grandfathers must've laid some heavy protections on him." Hymen spoke with his hand on his chin, thinking some things.
"What are you getting at Hymen?" Eric narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Hymen said that.
"I'm saying that we shouldn't let our sons be overshadowed by that bastard's son. At least while they're here on the academy." Hymen spoke with eyes burning with something darker.
"You have a plan don't you?" Norvius spoke with a smile on his face, his eyes brightened up in excitement.
"I do. Let's leave this matter to our sons. It's better to crush all that potential from the beginning rather than letting it grow anymore." Hymen said looking at Eric and Norvius with a wide demonic grin on his face.
"You want our children to handle It huh? Well I'm impressed hymen, That's a good Idea. They'll do a good job crushing that little ant everyday." Norvius also spoke with demonic smile on his face.
"He'll come to hate the academy in the near future. Even right now I can tell there's many little ants here who don't like him already, so this will be easier." Eric said to them.
Hymen was really looking forward to see how angry Rufus would be to see his son getting crushed both physically and mentally by the others and no one would do a thing about it because It's a usual thing that happens in the academy even back in their days. Weak ones get bullied so brutally because they're too weak to protect themselves and the academy resources are wasted on them.
"Weaklings don't have any place in the academy in the first place remember?, It's good to take care of him when he's weak. Just let him suffer under our children until he grows a heart demon in his heart..." Hymen said.
"So will never reach his full potential and will be humiliated being so untalented" Norvius completed Hymen's sentence with a similar demonic grin on his face.
"Good." Eric laughed in joy, clearly impressed.
"Then let's do that." Hymen said.
The three of them planned how to take care of Jamie inside the academy completely forgetting about others around them.
Rufus suddenly had a bad feeling that something might happen in the near future.
"Jamie" Rufus looked toward his son.
"Yes father" Jamie tilted his head looking at his father.
"Be careful when you get into the academy. I know that some of the people who have trouble with me will definitely try to do something to you. Being inside the academy is not fully safe either." Rufus spoke with a serious look on his face which made Jamie listen to his father obediently.
"Don't worry father, I'll always be extra careful." Jamie smiled reassuring him.
"Jamie you didn't answer me though?" Amanda said to him with a teasing smile on her face.
"Isn't Alanna pretty even though she's older? Hmm?" She looked at him smiling.
Jamie really couldn't change the topic when It comes to his mother.
"Haah, Yes she's pretty. happy?" He asked looking away.
"hehehe. She's very powerful and she's even older than your sisters. How are you going to charm her hmm?" Amanda asked having fun teasing her son.
"I just have to get stronger what else?" Jamie answered nonchalantly.
"So you're admitting you like her? If strength is the answer then why haven't she liked anyone else? She's genius that rose into the Grandmaster realm pretty quickly. There's many strong talents who proposed to her but none of them was able to win her heart. Strength alone is not enough" she shook her head.
"Then what should I do?" Jamie was slightly influenced by her words even though he didn't took her words seriously usually because she always liked to tease people.
"How would I know that? But I think she wouldn't even look at you in that way, How many students do you think she have overseer when she was the deputy headmistress all this time? She won't have any feelings for her students. If she did that would be weird." Amanda sighed in a dramatic tone and shook her head repeatedly.
Jamie naturally thought of all these things when he decided to make Alanna his women If he's certain of choosing her and he came up with some ideas too.
But for his plan's beginning he need some fish to approach him themselves, Just like he's expecting them to.
'I feel these boys already doesn't like me. So I hope some strong ones would make their way quickly so I can start all the things I prepared.'
Just like Jamie doesn't know how others are already planning to crush him using force, They also don't know that what they're trying to crush is not something they should've tried crushing in the first place.
All of they're plans will only lead to Jamie's fame rising even more and Jamie's success rising even more. They just don't know it yet.
