<h4>Chapter 134 Going to the Academy </h4>


    After leaving the house with Nina and Eve, Vicente walked slowly with them through the central streets of Millfall to the main local academy.


    Millfall had three academies for children under the age of 10. Vicente had enrolled Nina in the best academy, where even the children and grandchildren of nobles studied.


    Knowing the public that Nina''s academy attended, Vicente narrowed his eyes as he looked at therge building of this academy, which was only five blocks away from his house.


    ''Did Nina step on some nobleman''s foot, and the teacher wants to give me some kind of warning?'' He thought, knowing how terrible children could be depending on the circumstances they grew up in.


    But seeing how happy Nina was, Vice wasn''t sure if that was the problem.


    ''I''ll increase her security for the next few days if it is.'' He sighed as he looked up.


    Another reason for Nina to study at this academy, besides the fact that it was the best local educational institution, was that the way between this building and the Fuller estate was short. Vicente''s snipers could follow the young girl from a distance.


    Vicente looked up and saw a metallic glint where he knew one of his Acolytes had a rifle aimed at his group''s surrounding area.


    Taking his eyes off that spot on the roof of a nearby building, Vicente turned his attention back to what Nina was saying.


    "Big brother, you have to meet teacher Shelby. She''s so pretty! And she''s really nice to me. She alwayses to see me during breaks and even helps me with my homework." Nina said as she walked hand in hand with Vicente.


    "Oh? That Shelby seems really caring." Vicentemented as Eve looked at him.


    "She''s always talking about this teacher."


    "Who is she, Nina?" Vice looked at his sister after Eve''s words. "Is she the one who wants to see me?"


    "Yes. Teacher Shelby is in charge of my ss. She has already asked me several things about you, big brother." Nina said as she smiled. "Does she want to marry big brother?"


    Eve looked at Nina seriously after those words as he chuckled at the thought of his sister.


    "Don''t talk nonsense, Nina," Vicente remarked in a good-natured tone, even though he didn''t like hearing some of what Nina had just told him.


    Meanwhile, Eve advised. "Nina, you can''t talk about your brother with anyone but us. If they ask about Vice, just say you''re a child and don''t know anything. Someone like that might be mean to your brother."


    "But teacher Shelby is so good to me..." She muttered.


    "Some people will be nice to you for the wrong reasons, Nina. Do what Eve said. If they ask about our family, don''t say anything." Vicente told his sister.


    "OK, big brother," Nina said, not sure why but willing to obey her brother.


    Amid this conversation, they arrived at the front gate of the best local academy. Dozens of children of different ages were already there with their parents, friends, and nannies, slowly entering the grounds surrounded by gardens and a sizeable temple-like building in the middle of the area.


    Unlike the Academy of Stars, which had a few dozen children, this ce had more than 2,000 children up to the age of 10.


    Vicente, Nina, and Eve made their way past the crowd of people that usually formed in front of this building every morning and were soon walking through the entrance garden of the academy.


    This ce was beautiful, with well-kept nts that were pruned daily by gardeners. There were several paintings in the corridors, which Nina took the opportunity to exin to her brother, telling him that these paintings told the story of Millfall.


    Vicente listened to this until they reached one of the entrances to therge building, arge ce since there were dozens of bathrooms, libraries, ssrooms, martial arts training areas, and so on.


    Arriving at this ce where he had only been once, on Nina''s first day of school, Vicente let himself be guided by her while many children looked at him as if he were an alien.


    Nina had already told about Vicente and his unique Magic Gem to about 30 different children. She was very proud of him, and since hiding one''s magical form was hard, she talked about it with everyone who came near her.


    But besides these children, many others couldn''t help but look up to Vicente, as there were no reports of gems like his in Pris Realm.


    All known Magic Gems followed a constant pattern. But Vicente''s magical form went against that ''rule'' as if it were two gems instead of just one...


    When she saw several children younger and older than herself looking at Vicente, Nina smiled proudly.


    In their movement, they arrived at ss 44, where she had daily sses.


    When they arrived, Vicente saw some children approaching them to talk to Nina.


    "This is my brother," Nina said. "Have you seen? See his Magic Gem, Jasper! I hope you change your name now that I''ve proven you wrong!"


    The childrenughed as they looked at the young boy who had told Nina that a Magic Gem like Vicente''s couldn''t exist in this world.


    Seeing this, Viceughed subtly, seeing the young man''s embarrassment for saying something he shouldn''t have said to Nina.


    "Vice, you shouldn''t let Nina say things like that," Eve told him in a low voice. "She''s humiliating the boy."


    "You''re overreacting, Eve. They''re just kids ying. He probably said something like. ''That''s impossible, and I''m sure you''re lying, or my name isn''t Jasper...''" Vice spoke, thinking he should let children be children.


    "Nina''s older brother, what kind of power does this gem give you?" An orange-haired girl asked him as she looked at the shiny thing on Vice''s forehead.


    But just as Vicente was about to open his mouth to say something, a female voice came behind him and said. "Margaret, never ask strangers that question again. The magical form of a mage is very individual to each person. If you want to know, stand strong and challenge Mr. Fuller. Until then, keep your curiosity to yourself."


    Vicente looked back and saw a woman with orange hair and brown eyes, dressed in a ck outfit, beautiful, with white skin, plump lips, and an unusual Green Magic Gem.


    "Pleasure, Shelby Staples." She said to him, ignoring her many students.
