"When are these kingdom games starting, Headmaster?" Theo asked, making the old man put out three fingers.
"Three months, and in that time, you need to get selected and be on the team, Theo Merrick. You do that, and I will fix everything that needs fixing," the old man spoke with that same smile of his.
Theo felt like he was making a deal with a demon with how persuasive he was.
"And these games are dangerous, right?"
"Just as dangerous as entering a gate, illegally and legally both included. Nothing too special for your track record, I would say," the man spoke.
Theo took a deep breath. He couldn't be talking about danger when his record would always show two entries into gates, one legal while the other downright illegal.
"I accept, Headmaster. Thank you for this opportunity," Theo spoke, making the old man clap his hands again.
"Good! I expect great things from you, Theo Merrick! You can go rest now. We will take care of your classes from tomorrow."
