Chapter 1680

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1680 Following that, a golden wooden token flew out from Sumeru’s pocket and hovered before Gerald’s face…

“That there, is a wooden token exclusively for you. It serves as a symbol of your identity within the Leicom Academy. Also, since you’re my only student, you’ll have access to all the study resources of the academy!” explained Sumeru as he officially granted those privileges to Gerald.

Being a student of the dean, Gerald could pretty much do whatever he wanted in the academy. It was truly a noble position to have…

Even so, Gerald naturally cared little about the fame aspect. He was honestly more excited about the fact that he could use the academy’s study resources anytime and any way he pleased. With that privilege, Gerald would surely be able to master more skills and secret techniques, hence allowing him to improve himself much faster.

With that said, Sumeru then ordered, “Karsten! Clean up the pavilion in the east court! From today onward, that will be Gerald’s private residence!”

“Right away, dean! I’ll be leading Gerald there immediately!” replied Karsten without even a second thought.

After Karsten led Gerald out of the main hall, the four masters turned to look at Sumeru, clearly unhappy with his decision.

“Why did you choose to accept Gerald as your student, dean…?” asked Master Jizo in a puzzled tone.

For context, never had any of the academy’s deans accepted personal students. With that in mind, the fact that the dean made an exception for Gerald was definitely mind boggling.

Chuckling in response, Sumeru then replied, “Couldn’t the rest of you tell? He isn’t in the Fifth-soul-rank of the Sage Realm at all! He’s been actively suppressing his true power!”

Upon hearing that, all four of the masters instantly grew curious.

“…If that’s the case, then… How strong is he actually?” asked Master Jizo.

“From what I’ve been able to tell, he should have already entered the Ninth-soul-rank of the Sage Realm! What more, he’s already showing signs of successfully breaching the Avatar Realm!” replied Sumeru, instantly shocking the four masters even more.

Even the most capable students in the Leicom Academy were only able to enter the Eighth-soul-rank of the Sage Realm. If what Sumeru had said was true, then Gerald most certainly qualified to be the dean’s student…

Now that he was aware of all this, Master Jizo’s mood instantly changed for the better as he said, “…If that’s really the case, then Gerald’s already the most talented student of our academy ever since it started! There’s just no contesting his strength!”

Still, what a pity it was that Gerald didn’t choose him to be his master. If Gerald had chosen him instead of the dean, Master Jizo would’ve surely gained a higher status and more bragging rights within the academy…

Understanding what social value Gerald now held, Master Juzo decided that he had to form a good relationship with Gerald no matter what.

Sometime later, Gerald arrived at the pavilion in the east court under Master Ykink’s guidance.

While the pavilion had previously been used as a storage room to keep miscellaneous items, Sumeru had ordered for it to be cleaned up to be turned into Gerald’s personal residence. After all, as a student of the dean, there was no way he was allowing Gerald to stay with the other students from the lower classes. That was simply too degrading to even think of!

Seeing how thick the dust was inside the pavilion, Gerald couldn’t help but say, “I’m assuming the pavilion’s been left vacant for quite a while, Master Ykink…”

Nodding in response, Master Ykink then replied, “Indeed! Also, you don’t have to refer to me as master anymore. Since you’re now the dean’s student, you’re no longer of low status!”

Hearing that, Gerald then chuckled before humbly saying, “You’re exaggerating things, Master Ykink!

While it’s true that I’m now the dean’s student, I’m essentially still a student here! With that in mind, I still have to respect you, a teacher of the academy!”
