Annoying

Keli said, "Wizard Leo, your coming here was no coincidence. Which First-Rank Wizard Apprentice brought you here?"

"...Wizard Vivian."

"So it was Vivian..." Keli said in sudden realization. "She is a special envoy like me. Since she brought you here, it seems you intend to join the Wizard Journal."

Leo shook his head. "No, I have no such plans."

Hearing this, Keli smiled. "Surely you did not come here to submit a GG Submission? You should know that only First-Rank Wizard Apprentices can submit a GG Submission."

"Or perhaps the laboratory you are currently part of has research results that are about to succeed, and your laboratory sent you here to publish and submit them."

Leo said, "I came here to file a GG Submission."

Keli burst into giggles. "Wizard Leo, the joke you told is simply too funny. I could not help laughing out loud."

"I believe I already said it just now. The GG Submission here can only be filed by First-Rank Wizard Apprentices, while you are merely a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice, aren't you?"

"Oh, I understand now. You defeated a First-Rank Wizard Apprentice in that previous competition, and that gave you confidence, making you think you can now stand on equal footing with First-Rank Wizard Apprentices."

"If you ask me, Wizard Leo, you are simply too arrogant."

"Although your opponent at the time was a First-Rank Wizard Apprentice, you were restricted to using only Necromancy spells. You won only thanks to that. Yet you took it as proof that you were better than a First-Rank Wizard Apprentice. How should I put this... ah, yes. Arrogance. You are far too arrogant."

Leo still wore a smile. "Wizard Keli, I have never thought that way."

In truth, Leo was already rather impatient.

He did not want to waste time
