Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-595

A Few Days Later...

Vicente was walking through the central streets of the capital of the Seidel Kingdom, the beautiful Grandis.

After a few days of trouble-free travel, he had arrived in this city this morning.

As he made his way through the local streets, he saw some of the true power of the Seidel family, seeing a place much more powerful than one would find traveling through most of the kingdom.

About 5 cities in the kingdom, including the capital, had Sovereigns and looked more like cities of the Chutha Dynasty or the Kenyth Empire than the Seidel Kingdom's cities. But that was it. The rest of the kingdom seemed much simpler and weaker.

Vicente understood why. The kingdom wasn't strong, but most of the local experts lived in the capital or in the cities closest to the capital.

Grandis was second only to the capitals of the dynasty and the empire in terms of strength and development. But this city would not pale compared to many of the places Vicente had passed through recently.

"This place has a lot of Sovereigns.' Torne commented to his master as Vicente walked towards a large complex of buildings on one of the capital's largest estates.

Seeing the Seidel Magic College from afar, Vicente agreed with Torne. 'Most of the power of the state is here, old Torne. The king is a public figure. He needs his men at his side. It's not like someone like me living in the shadows.'

'Living in the shadows isn't bad. Your family probably has more control over Scott Province today than the royal family.' Torne said jokingly but also sincerely.

'Probably.' Minos laughed before entering the area that housed the largest magical training facility in the entire kingdom.

As soon as he entered one of the main buildings in the area and arrived at a reception hall, a well-dressed, good-looking woman approached him with a smile on her face.

"Senior, how can I help you?" Asked this woman with red hair and an appearance that combined youth and maturity. She didn't look old, but she certainly wasn't young.

"I am looking for a man who attended this institution until a few years ago. I believe he has already graduated, but you should be able to lead me to him or to teachers close to him." Vicente said before handing the woman a piece of paper with the names and portraits of the people he had met at Ironcrest years ago.

"Is Joshua the one you are looking for? June was his friend, and Alice was one of our teachers who accompanied them?" The woman asked after reading what Vicente had given her.

"Hmm, that must be the case. Maybe he and June aren't here anymore. But any information about them will help me. Professor Alice might know something, so talking to her would help me a bit." Vicente replied.

Then she gestured for him to follow her and quickly went to a large counter where several employees of the institution were working.

The Seidel Magic College had over 14,000 students, 500 teachers, 400 guards, and 800 administrative staff.

It was a small city within the capital, a place where many people came and went, and as such, there was a complex registry that could help someone like Vicente.

After watching the woman for a few minutes, she wrote something on a piece of paper and said. "Professor Alice Philips is at the college today. If you follow these directions, you'll get to her classroom.

As for June and Joshua, all we know is that they graduated about two years ago and left the college to join the royal army. Where they are or what they might be doing is something only the army or close friends can tell you."

Vicente took the paper with the directions to Alice's office and nodded his thanks to the woman in front of him. "Thank you for your help."

...

After a few minutes of walking around the large grounds of the college, Vicente arrived at a small building that contained several amphitheaters, the usual type of classroom at this institution.

There were no doors to block the way to any of these rooms, so upon entering the building, Vicente would soon find the place where Alice taught her students.

Vicente stopped at the entrance and watched for a moment as the purple-haired woman lectured to a group of 35 magicians who were between levels 1 and 3 of the Acolyte stage.

Some of the young people there, who were, on average, a year younger than Vicente, looked at him, which soon drew Alice's attention to the place's entrance.

When she stopped talking and looked at Vicente, Alice was silent for a moment, trying to remember if she had ever seen that face before. She was an excellent physiognomist, so it didn't take her more than a few breaths to conclude that she didn't know him.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" She asked him as she walked to his side.

"Vicente Fuller." He muttered to her before asking with a smile. "Can we have a word?"

This woman was a High-level Mage, so she couldn't sense Vicente's cultivation. However, there was no way she wouldn't notice the beast on one of the young man's shoulders.

"Hmm." She nodded to him before turning to her class and telling them to continue without her.

"Vicente Fuller... Are you of the Fuller family of Chilldale?" She asked him as she reached the corridor that gave access to her class and three others in that part of the building.

"No, we just share the same name." He smiled before touching one of the woman's shoulders. "Alice, you don't know me, but I know you. In particular, we have a contact in common that I'd like you to help me get in touch with."

"Who is this person?"

"Joshua Lambton. If I'm not mistaken, a good friend or girlfriend of his is named June Evans. A few years ago, you three traveled through Scott Province looking for something." Vicente gave no details since he had met these people under Cesar's identity.

Although he was no longer afraid of the royal family of that state, he preferred not to have any problems with the army. It would still be a big headache for him to deal with problems from the royal family.

Alice immediately remembered the trip and the two students she had accompanied to Ironcrest. "I remember them. Even though I wasn't very close to them, I taught them for a year and traveled with them for a few months on that trip to Ironcrest. But how do you know that?"

Vicente smiled at her but didn't answer the question. "Do you know how I can find him? I need to talk to him about something that might interest him."
