Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The lodging area was quiet for almost a minute. Even Number One and the others were shocked by Charlot’s bold and generous aura.
They were from the secret intelligence agency, in charge of the darkest and dirtiest things.
It was not an exaggeration to say that these people had seen, experienced, and even directly punished the evil people and evil things that most people in the world had never heard of in their entire lives!
And now, right in front of them, there was a young man and a group of old people!
They were concerning about each other in their own way!
At this moment, Number One recalled the officer who had led him when he first entered the office.
He said, “There are both good and evil in this world.”
“And what we need to do is to struggle in the dark quagmire and not give in, to see and block the darkness that invades the world
“If you gaze at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.”
“So, you must hold on to the goodness in your heart and use it as armor to block the evil that you see!”
If a child was sincere, then so was an old man!
What could be more touching than such a scene?
Previously, Number One and the others had only protected and monitored Charlot because of General Godwin’s orders without any emotions.
But from this second onwards, Number One and the others were willing to pay any price for this pure friendship between the old and the young!
Charlot looked at the group of old people who seemed to be at a loss, and a warm look flowed in his eyes.
He waited quietly and did not urge them, nor did he say anything else.
Until a certain moment, a trembling old woman walked forward, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked.
“Xiao Xia, we all believe in you. We old bones, living in this world, can only bring burdens to others!”
“If you… don’t mind us being a burden, then I, Madeline, will leave this old bone to you!”
“Xiao Xia, I’m willing, too!”
“Xiao Xia, we’re all willing. We’re just afraid that we can’t do well!”
“It doesn’t matter.” Charlot shook his head.
“What I’m interested in is not talent, but everyone’s character.”
“Magic is a powerful force. If a person who holds a powerful force can not restrain the malice in his heart, then the world will no longer have peace!”
“I hope that everyone can remember today, no matter how powerful you become in the future!”
“You must set the highest standards for yourself!”
“We,” Charlot paused, “We want to bring light and future to the world, not blood and fire!”
Old John took a step forward, clenched his fists, and shouted, “Xiao Xia, we are willing to become teachers of the Magic Academy!”
“At the same time, we are also willing to be the last line to uphold justice and kindness!”
“Okay!” Charlot nodded and said in a deep voice, “From today onwards, everyone will have a new name.”
“The Protector!”
“The Protector! This name is good!”
“That’s right, from now on, I will be the protector. Whoever dares to use magic recklessly will have to ask my Old Wright’s fist!”
“How can a mage fight with their fists?”
“Uh…”
The group of old men were excited, and Charlot’s heart was filled with warmth.
In the system, the notifications of belief value were flooding the screen!
Moreover, almost every notification was above 80 points!
[ Obtained 89 points of belief value from Upton! ]
[ Obtained 95 points of belief value from Hall! ]
[ Obtained 83 points of belief value from Josue! ]
[ Obtained 99 points of faith from Serena! ]
The number of magic believers had officially broken through 500!
Charlot was excited. The matter of the magic recovery was progressing according to plan.
However, when he thought of the contents of the “White Paper”, he was still very worried!
The door to the other world opened. Endless Monsters, magical beasts, and powerful foreign races would come from the opened world door to Earth!
At that time, would the humans on earth have the ability to protect themselves?
Charlot sighed lightly, and the sense of urgency in his heart grew stronger!
Since they had all become members of the “Guardians of the Way”, Charlot did not care about winning over the hearts of the people.
At the moment, he was still under the surveillance of the Secret Intelligence Bureau. He therefore let Old John take those old people who had not studied under him back to rest.
Of course, whether it was the “Tactics of the Dawn” or the “Body Cleansing Spell”, they were the simplest magic.
Old John and the others who had studied in the first batch could directly teach the rest of the old people.
When Charlot gave the order, he directly looked at Number One.
Number One pursed his lips and simply pretended that he did not see!
Although he was a special agent of the Secret Intelligence Agency who had a mission as his destiny, General Godwin did not directly say that Charlot was not allowed to teach magic!
Would turning a blind eye to people who were acknowledged by him also violate the rules of the military?
After letting all the old people go back, Charlot heaved a sigh of relief.
Next, it was time to wait for General Godwin to report to the higher-ups and get the results!
Just as he was about to return to the recuperation room to rest, Charlot suddenly saw a slender figure running over from afar!
Vera!
A golden ponytail swayed behind the young girl. Her face, which was somewhat rosy due to the running, was sparkling with a lustrous luster that could move one’s heart.
A pair of large eyes were filled with concern and worry for Charlot!
“Charlot, are you alright? You didn’t reply to my previous message.”
When she came close, Vera said while panting.
Her beautiful figure was fully revealed while she was breathing. For a moment, Charlot didn’t know where to look…
“That…”
He was about to find an excuse when Vera suddenly reached out and grabbed Charlot’s hand, exclaiming!
“What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?!”
Charlotte looked down and smiled.
That was not blood. It was just some ketchup that he accidentally got when he was eating KFC!
“It’s nothing. It’s just ketchup, not blood!”
“I’m fine, too. I didn’t see your message.”
“Are you really fine?” Vera grabbed Charlot’s hand and looked around before she was relieved.
Suddenly, Vera’s face turned red and her ears were stained with pink!
At this moment, she was holding hands with Charlot. This was the first time she held a boy’s hand!
“Uh…”
Charlot was embarrassed for a moment, and naturally pulled his hand out of Vera’s palm.
Looking at Vera, who was at a loss and extremely shy, Charlot sighed in his heart. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said.
“Vera, I remember that you are a junior this year, right?”
“Yes…” Vera’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, so shy that she didn’t dare to look into Charlot’s eyes.
Even in this era which was considered a very open era, this was the first time Vera hold a boy’s hand!
“Well, when you graduate, do you want to continue studying in my Magic Academy? If possible, I want you to be my assistant!”
Regardless of what the country said, Charlot had to build up his own class first.
He didn’t want his rights and status to be nullified by the people sent by the country the moment the Magic Academy opened!
Charlot also made up his mind. If the country didn’t agree, then he would open his own Magic Academy!
From a legal point of view, what he did was legal!
The power in his hands would make everyone to talk to him about the law!
Even the country was no exception!
