Michel knew what they were thinking, it was clear from the look in their eyes that they were saying 'Tonight you will die!" to him.

"You're all fools," Michel spoke softly with a faint smile.

"Tonight you are the ones who will die," he thought.

The expressions of the brothers and sisters around him instantly changed upon hearing his words.

At first, they were all shocked when they heard those words. It wasn't surprising, considering Michel had only kept quiet when receiving bad treatment from them.

They were also surprised by the attitude Michel had shown tonight. 'Has Michel gone mad?' they thought.

Suddenly, the surprised expressions on their faces had been replaced with expressions of anger and hatred. This was exactly what Michel had wanted, to provoke the anger of them all.

Michel then glanced to his right, there sat a 47-year-old man he recognized, that man was Sir Edgar Grigory, the Mayor of Esersin City.

"Did he make a mistake? Michel thought after seeing the tense expression on the mayor's face.

Edgar was currently sitting across from his lord, the Head of the Sinclair Family.

Although Arsen was quite far ahead and never noticed him, Edgar could still feel the intense pressure from his lord.

Michel no longer paid attention to the people around him. Now he was focused on eating the food in front of him.

"I'm hungry, give me that chicken thigh!" Lucy, who was standing behind his chair, spoke shamelessly.

***

When dinner was over, and the servants were tidying up the table, a young man sitting closest to Arsen suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Father, I want to ask for a letter of approval from you to enroll in the Magus Academy!"

It was Rowan, one of the three boys who had bothered Michel in the library yesterday.

Compared to the seats of his other brothers and sisters, Rowan's seat was the closest to Arsen after the seats of the concubines.

His other three brothers and two sisters also stood up, looking like they had the same intentions as Rowan.

"Father, we also want to enroll in the Magus Academy!" Matilda spoke on behalf of her brother and sister who had just stood up with her.

Arsen doesn't like small talk. That's why they immediately expressed their intentions without saying much.

The hall was silent for a moment as if nervously waiting for Arsen's answer.

After Empress Ashtaleth united all the kingdoms in this land, she immediately established a marvelous and amazing magic academy.

Magus Academy, that's the academy she founded.

There were no other academies in this land that taught magic other than Magus Academy. That was because Empress Ashtaleth forcibly shut down all the other academies until the academy she founded was left.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

In other words, if they want to learn magic and hone their fighting skills, then the only way other than self-training is to enter the Magus Academy.

"Three of you already applied to the Magus Academy but were not accepted. Do you want to embarrass this family again?" Arsen spoke while glancing at the three children he was referring to with a lazy gaze.

Matilda and Alex were the children Arsen was referring to. The other child was Aron, a tall and big young man. The three of them were forced to sit back down with disappointed looks on their faces.

As the only academy that taught magic in this empire, the requirements to enter the Magus Academy were very strict.

Two most important requirements must be met if you wish to enroll in the Magus Academy. The first requirement is to come from a noble family.

Ordinary people cannot enroll in the Magus Academy unless they are sponsored by a noble family and that is very rare.

Magical talents and abilities are inherited, so it's rare for extraordinary talents to come from ordinary people.

Even if there is, the person must still have noble blood in their veins.

The second requirement is to have a letter of approval from the head of the family. This is what Rowan and his siblings are currently doing.

After fulfilling these two requirements, they still have to undergo a very difficult test and selection process.

So it's no surprise that everyone who graduates from the Magus Academy will become a great magus.

"Father, please accept me into the Magus Academy! Give me the ashtaleth seal!" Michel stood up and said his wish casually.

Except for Lucy and Arsen, everyone in the hall was very surprised to hear Michel's words. They thought there must be something wrong with his head, but he didn't care.

What Michel was waiting for right now was an answer from his father.

"You've really gone crazy, huh! Of all things, why are you asking for the ashtaleth seal?" Alex snapped at Michel without thinking.

Michel could hear the words of the people around him that were more or less the same as Alex's.

The quiet hall suddenly became noisy, and Michel knew his father would do something about it.

As the name suggests, the ashtaleth seal is a seal given by the empress to the nobles who supported her during the war of conquest.

With the seal, one can be directly admitted to the Magus Academy without having to take the test and selection. This is what Michel wanted from his father.

The Magus Academy was about to open enrollment for the new school year, and Michel was old enough.

"Shut up!" Arsen said quietly but with emphasis.

The hall was instantly quiet again.

"Alright, I'll give it to you!" Arsen surprisingly agreed to Michel's request.

The concubines, his brothers and sisters, and even Michel himself were very surprised to hear the answer from his father.

How could his father agree to his request so easily? Michel could hardly believe it.

"Why? What's the reason?" Rowan asked in a loud voice, he couldn't accept this.

Everyone knew that Arsen didn't like jokes, so they knew that he was serious about agreeing to Michel's request.

"Rowan, watch your language in front of your father!" Natasha reminded him coldly, the beautiful woman with long red hair was Rowan's mother.

"He's just a trash who can't summon! He can't even use magic! How can he enter the Magus Academy?" Rowan protested, ignoring her own mother's warning.

"What kind of qualifications does he have that father agreed to give him an ashtaleth seal?" Rowan added.

Almost everyone there had the same thoughts as Rowan, they just didn't dare to say it. Even Greta, Michel's own mother also thought that way.

"Impress me," Arsen spoke flatly, as usual, his empty eyes looking straight at Michel.

"Someone who can't use magic like you, what can you do? So show me something! If you can impress me, I'll give it to you."

After hearing Arsen's words, the concubines and their brothers and sisters immediately showed cynical smiles.

Of course, there was no way Arsen would do something absurd without having a specific purpose. They all felt relieved, especially his brother and sister.

"What can a trash like you do?" Rowan challenged with a satisfied look on his face.

Rowan thought that Michel was just making a fool of himself and that he would be the one to snap him out of it.

"I can defeat you all, my dear brothers and sisters, without having to kill you in a battle of life and death!" Michel spoke coldly, the fangs he had been hiding finally coming out.
