Chapter 2857
Perhaps this was the first time the two vice principals of Edge Academy had sat together and so openly and deeply discussed Edge Academy's stance toward the various powers within and beyond the Alliance.
It was brief, yet profound.
Colmar was surprised to discover that Professor Monteria, whom she had always considered old-fashioned and dogmatic, was unexpectedly somewhat radical and forceful when it came to defending the interests of Edge Wizards.
This pleased her greatly.
Yet she also hesitated, wondering whether she had misunderstood what the professor had just meant.
After all, the two of them sitting in the tavern at this moment were, in a sense, engaged in a contest as well—they had to cooperate to protect Edge Academy's interests, but once Edge Academy was established, dividing the interests within the academy would become another problem.
Just as Professor Monteria had said, the larger one party's share, the smaller the other's.
The Giant God Soldiers of the Special Configuration were Edge Academy's greatest "share" at present.
Obtaining a Giant God Soldier not only meant she would possess the ability to face higher-level wizards, but also meant she had a strong chance of becoming Edge Academy's first principal.
Just as she was hesitating.
Professor Monteria suddenly changed the subject and brought up something she had not expected. "—Since you've already met the review panel and know that you'll become the pilot of Prototype Number One, why did you provoke that child this afternoon?"
The leap in topic was rather abrupt.
Colmar froze for a moment before pulling herself out of her tangled thoughts.
The "child" the professor referred to undoubtedly meant Zheng Qing, but what did provoking him have to do with tonight's conversation?
She frowned, a rare hint of a young witch's mischief appearing on her face.
