SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS
Chapter 81 - 81: Sacrifice for Wife

Silver leaf City... Sky family estate...

Kent crossed the entrance gate of the Sky family along with Mia Snow. Zumi is walking in front while speaking proudly about the Autumn Wind sect.

Even though Kent studied for years at Sky Family Magus School, he never crossed this estate gate. His eyes were focused on the large estate building.

"To become an elder in the Autumn Wind sect, you need to be at least a Master Magus, and even then, without proper strength, you won't get the position of elder." Zumi said with a proud face as she lifted her head and walked in front like a leader.

Suddenly, Kent turned his head towards Mia as her soft hand touched his fingers intentionally. Mia smiled with a knowing look and held on to his fingers while staring into his eyes.

"Did she hinting something?!" Kent thought, staring into her eyes. But in the next second, Mia held his hand tightly and turned her head away with a shy smile. This time, Kent clearly saw the blush on her face.

"Why are you both silent?" Zumi lazily turned back to see the situation with Kent and Mia. Like a finger snap, they separated and acted like nothing happened.

After a brief gaze, Zumi turned straight and led the way. Just as Zumi turned, a knowing smile passed between Kent and Mia as they exchanged a deep look. Kent fell in a daze, thinking about whether Mia held his hand with gratitude or any other feeling.

Soon, they entered the large room where Elder Sinara was waiting. At present, Elder Sinara sat before a dark wooden table, waiting for Kent and Mia.

"Greeting, Respected Elder." Mia bowed with a humble gesture, and Kent followed her with a calm face.

Elder Sinara observed Mia for a long time before taking out a transparent crystal ball from her storage ring.

"You, come here. Insert your aura into this crystal ball." Elder Sinara said, gesturing towards Mia Snow. Kent stood calmly while staring at the crystal ball curiously.

Following Elder Sinara's instructions, Mia inserted her aura into the crystal orb. After a short gap, the transparent crystal ball turned into a thick yellow color. (Based on the thickness of the color, talent is measured.)

"Good… You have an affinity for the wind element. Go, pack your bags, and come here by tomorrow morning. Zumi, take Mia outside and explain about sect life." Elder Sinara ordered, shifting her focus on to Kent.

[Element Affinity Colors: 7 elements and 7 colors: Earth=brown, Fire= crimson red, Wind= yellow, Water/snow = milky white, Energy= violet, Space= blue, Time= gold.] You don't need to remember these, as everything will be mentioned when required. But one thing to remember is that if a spell is linked with an element, that spell color corresponds to the element color.]

"You…, I can't take you to Autumn Wind Sect." Elder Sinara said directly without beating around the bush.

"Why…?!!!" Kent asked instantly while staring at Elder Sinara with a weird look.

"Because the Autumn Wind sect is a ladies sect. No male is allowed to cross the sect gate." Elder Sinara replied with a bold look.

"What…?!!!" Kent's eyes went wide in surprise. He never expected this twist of fate. "Why didn't you mention this before? Isn't this cheating?!" Kent asked in a blaming tone.

"Boy, stop accusing me. I came to recruit Mia in the first place, and watching this tournament is like a time pass. Also, I never thought you could beat Mia in combat." Elder Sinara replied in a leisurely tone while leaning back on the chair.

Kent felt a bit of frustration listening to the tone of Elder Sinara. But he didn't have the strength to go against her. "Then why did you call me here? To mock me?" Kent spoke with a detestable look.

"Don't be like that young man. Even though I can't take you to Autumn Wind School, I will grant you a favor. Ask me anything. A spell scroll, aura stone, movement technique, or coins. I will do anything under my limits." Elder Sinara said, observing Kent closely.

Kent fell in deep thought after hearing her offer. He has all the material things, and his aunt can send anything he wants. So Kent began thinking about what the elder could give him specifically.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as his hand touched his pocket, where a defense inscription was stored.

"Elder, will you recruit my wife in place of me? You don't have to worry about her talent. She won this secondary Magus tournament three times, and currently, she is working as an elder in this Sky family school." Kent asked hurriedly with an excited look.

"Are you married?" Elder Sinara questioned with a weird look.

"No… No… She is my promised bride. Why don't you see her first? I'm sure that you will be satisfied with her talent." Kent said and stood in wait for Elder Sinara's response.

After much thought, Elder Sinara agreed to his request. "Call her. If she is really talented, like you say, I will definitely recruit her." Elder Sinara declared before picking up an ink brush from the side.

Kent took out his old glass orb and called Thea. Without saying the reason, he used Elder Sinara's name and said, "Come to the Sky family estate, central hall."

"What did he do this time?!" Thea muttered as she rushed towards the Sky family estate. As Kent used Elder Sinara's name, Thea rushed hurriedly with tension.

While Kent stood in wait, Elder Sinara began writing something serious on plain cloth paper. After writing a few lines, she took out a bronze seal from her storage ring and stamped the letter with a wax seal.

Just as she placed the seal, Thea entered the room, eyeing Kent with a questioning glance. As Kent smiled without saying anything, Thea turned towards Elder Sinara and bowed in respect.

With a deep look, Elder Sinara gestured for Thea to come closer. "Insert your aura inside the crystal ball."

With a confused gaze Thea leaned forward and inserted her aura without asking any questions. Soon, the transparent orb turned into a 'pure glowing white color.'

Elder Sinara's eyes fluttered, and she immediately leaned forward to take a closer look at the crystal ball.
