"What?" Elden was stunned. "No wonder this kid didn't like me. Get me the info. I want to see who has the guts to smear Mirror Academy! When I find him, I'll kill him slowly!"

Elden was furious, but he quickly calmed down.

Recruiting George was an order from above. He couldn't mess it up. He had to find a way to fix things with George.

...

Anna led the group straight to the most luxurious restaurant in Aurion City. It was part of Lily's family business.

"By the way, Lilia, did you do anything to Kent?" George thought back to how Lilia had shaken hands with Kent. He was just curious.

He wasn't jealous. Angels were noble. They wouldn't just approach a human like that. Plus, Lilia had a clear magic wave on her, so she must have used a skill.

Lilia smiled gently. "That guy isn't worthy to be a Blazing Angel knight."

George was shocked. Others might not understand what she meant, but he did.

Lilia was actually a powerful Blazing Angel. She could take away Kent's Blazing Angel profession.

"Are you really a kind angel?" George felt a little sorry for Kent.

He knew what it meant to lose a profession. It was like falling from heaven to hell. Worse than killing someone.

...

"What are you two talking about?" Lily was confused and asked curiously.

"Kid, don't ask too much," George said coldly. He didn't want to reveal Lilia's abilities.

There were still many jobs related to Blazing Angel in this world. And they were all S-tier or higher. If people found out Lilia could take away someone's job, she would definitely be in trouble.

"I'm not a kid!" Lily pouted and said, "And George, I'm two months older than you!"

George was surprised. "How do you know when I was born?"

Lily stuck out her tongue playfully and said nothing more.

Anna watched the two argue and felt a little jealous. She said, "Mr. George, I'm leaving for the Sovereign City in a few days. Do you want to come with us? It's not safe out there. It'll be safer this way."

Liam quickly said, "I'm going back to the Sovereign City too. I'll come with you."

George also wanted to go to the Sovereign City. And the materials he needed to make the job attribute panel fusion could only be bought there.

But he wasn't sure if he would be accepted into the Obsidian Academy.

There were many top schools in the Sovereign City, but only the Obsidian Academy and Mirror Academy were the best. He definitely didn't want to join the Mirror Academy.

"Liam, you said your father was in charge of the recruitment for the Obsidian Academy, right? And he's already here. Can I get in?" George thought of the mysterious middle-aged man he met that morning.

Liam awkwardly rubbed his nose. He had already recognized his father's identity, but it seemed like there had been a conflict with George. He couldn't just tell the truth.

"George, don't worry. With your strength, you'll definitely get in," he said confidently.

George felt a bit better. He still believed what Liam said.

"Okay, then I'll go with you in two days," George said. He had planned to wait for the acceptance letter from the Obsidian Academy before leaving. But now that he was sure he would get in, there was no need to wait for the letter.

Liam was happy and looked at Lily, saying, "Lily, you're also on the special recruitment list of the Obsidian Academy. Join us too."

"Me?" Lily opened her mouth slightly and pointed at herself, shocked. "Special list? Did you get it wrong? And who are you anyway?"

She had seen Liam in the secret realm, but she didn't know his real identity.

Also, being accepted by the Obsidian Academy and being a special recruit were completely different things. Special recruits had special privileges.

She didn't think she could be one of them.

Liam saw Lily's cautious look and felt a bit embarrassed. He said, "You ranked second in the points. Your job is SSR tier. You're also on the special list."

Lily's job info hadn't been updated yet. No one knew she was now an SSS tier — The Seraph of the Dragon.

"Second place? Are you sure?" Lily felt it was hard to believe. She knew her points were high, but not that high.

"Mr. Kent's identity isn't fake. Let's eat first," Anna smiled and handed the menu to them.

The group didn't care much about food. They just ordered a few simple dishes.

During the meal, Liam got a call and left the room.

When he came back, his face looked a bit bad.

"Liam, what's wrong?" George asked curiously.

Liam looked at him and said, "It was my dad's call. He couldn't come, so he told me to handle the recruitment of you into the Obsidian Academy. Oh, and Lily too."

He smiled at Lily again.

George said, "That's good news. We both accept."

"Wait, no!" Liam sounded a bit nervous. "You two are both special recruits. You don't have any demands?"

"I don't mind. I just want to get into the Obsidian Academy," George said without any complaints.

Lily also said, "I don't have any demands either."

"No way," Liam said firmly. "Let me try to get you some extra benefits. How about a villa?"

George and Lily looked at each other, both feeling a bit speechless.

The Sovereign City was way more expensive than Aurion City. A villa there cost at least ten times more than here.

George was rich, but he still might not be able to afford it.

"A villa is too little," Liam continued. "How about an Abyss Realm permanent pass, a Chaos Battlefield permanent pass? And also, you get first access to any new realms the academy discovers..."

Liam thought carefully, trying to get more benefits for George.

"Hey," Anna interrupted. "Mr. Kent, are you mad at the Obsidian Academy or your dad?"

George and Lily also wanted to know.

What Liam was asking for wasn't just special treatment — it was like squeezing the academy dry.

Liam said, "That old man said if I mess this up, he'd break my legs. So I can't just let him off easy."

"You guys sure have a happy family," George said with a forced smile. He had been about to refuse, but when Liam mentioned the Chaos Battlefield pass, he was tempted.

The map to the Skyforge Empire he had gotten was in The Chaos Battlefield.

And The Chaos Battlefield had a lot of rare materials. It was even bigger than the Abyss Realm.

There was also a material he needed for his job attribute fusion — "Crafted Relic." It wasn't recorded in the real world. He guessed only The Chaos Battlefield had it.

It was a good chance to let Liam check what the academy was thinking.

His only worry was that if the top people at the Obsidian Academy saw these conditions and got angry, they might just drop the offer. That would be a big loss.

But he soon got the answer.

Liam put down his phone and said, a bit annoyed, "My dad agreed. I guess the deal I gave you was too low. But there's one condition — these rewards are for both you and Lily."

"This condition is low?" Anna didn't know what to say. She was even more curious about George's real identity.

Lily said, "It doesn't matter to me. Just give it all to George."

She wasn't interested in the academy's rewards. She just wanted to get into the Obsidian Academy.

Plus, she knew she was getting all this because of George.

George didn't refuse. He said, "No problem. Some items I don't need. Just tell me what you want."

"You two decide," Liam said once things were settled. He put his phone down and then thought of something else. "Oh, my dad also said he could unlock the secret of your R-tier Keeper. I don't know if this guy is just old and crazy. How could you be an R-tier job?"

George was surprised and asked, "You're sure the Obsidian Academy can unlock the secret of Keeper?"

Earlier in the Underworld Realm, the black dragon Asos said his job was the Oathweaver. George had guessed his Keeper job was definitely special.

If the Obsidian Academy could unlock the secret of his job, there was definitely a big upgrade.

"My dad said so," Liam nodded and asked, confused, "George, are you really an R-tier Keeper?"

Lily and Anna looked interested too. They had heard some rumors before.

George said, "I am a Keeper, but not R-tier. It's B-tier."

B-tier?

The others were confused. B-tier jobs were just average. It didn't match George's current strength at all.

Suddenly, a long, deep roar echoed through the whole Aurion City.

"What was that sound?" The group was shocked. The sound made their hearts race. It had to be a very scary monster boss.

But George received two alert messages.

[Golden Flame Dragon has reshaped its body. Stage is now SSS tier. Attributes have increased a lot. You gain Strength Reciprocation. Four basic attributes +1000 points]

[Elf Saint Elise has absorbed the Elven Legacy. Stage is now SSS tier. Attributes have increased a lot. You gain Strength Reciprocation. Four basic attributes +1000 points]

George felt a rush of heat inside. His four basic attributes each went up by 2000 points. His Keeper job got a huge upgrade.

"Look! It's really a dragon!" Liam ran to the window and pointed at a giant golden Celestial Serpent shadow in the sky. His face was full of shock.

George and the others came to the window out of curiosity.

In the distance, a huge golden Celestial Serpent shadow appeared in the sky. It moved through the clouds, and the sound of wind and thunder could be heard faintly.

The golden dragon shadow was right above George's villa.
