Chapter 98: Pretend

"Okay, following you, this little devil, puts a lot of pressure on me," Alita casually threw away her cigarette and crushed it with her foot. "You already know how much military expenditure is at such a young age?"

"I calculated it myself," Karoso said. "Isn’t this part of the basic curriculum?"

"Who among normal people thinks about military expenditure? How is this basic knowledge?" Alita said, feeling frustrated.

She thought she was the older sister who should take care of Karoso since he was working so hard for her. She felt she should give him something in return.

Now it seems she can’t give Karoso anything in return, so she decided to focus on her own job.

Three billion a year, she didn’t dare to think about it.

"Teresa and I studied together. We both took this course, but Neymar didn’t." Karoso stroked his chin.

[Hahaha, Alita is impressed.]

[Master Karoso calmly saying he can mobilize a teacher, feels like showing off.]

[Master Karoso isn’t showing off, he’s just honest, he truly has…]

[With a military budget of three billion, it seems there aren’t any powerful weapons.]

[In this world, often cards are prominent, and weapons have a bit of a steampunk style, can’t be compared to our world.]

[Yes, in our world, how much would this flexible mechanical arm be worth? Here, you can get a cheap one for five or six thousand Forged Coins, but safety when using it isn’t guaranteed.]

"I’ll go find the principal first, I need to tell him that the school’s third S-class needs to start." Alita adjusted her mood and put her hands in her pockets.

I don’t understand the world of nobility.

Before, it was said that there are only two teachers for making S-class cards in the whole school, which are 『』 and Null, this is just because Alita does not attend classes.

If Alita goes to class, then the school will have three S-class Card Making Teachers.

"Hmm, I will talk to my father about contracts and have him arrange for someone to sign them, okay?" Karoso said.

"No problem." Alita waved her hand. "But let me make it clear, I am here to serve Karoso Colloa, not the whole Colloa family. I won’t agree to any unreasonable demands."

"Don’t worry."

……

Karoso went to the telegraph room and sent a telegram to Grand Duke Osiris.

Osiris was in the office at that time, his subordinate informed him that a family telegram had arrived, and he was momentarily puzzled.

Upon reading the content of the telegram, Osiris fell silent.

He placed the telegram on the table and frowned.

Karoso, what’s the matter with this child?

He had previously invented a card that could pass through, his talent and good luck could be said to be exceptional, but now…

Recruiting an S-class Card Maker? Is this about enlarging someone else’s child’s belly?

In the whole Canglang Province, there are only three S-class Card Makers, not even one S+.

Of these three Card Makers, one is still kept secret, and others are completely unaware.

In the vast province, Osiris controls an army of thirty divisions, yet there are only three Card Makers.

And Karoso, how long has he been in school, and already accomplished something significant?

Osiris will definitely agree to Alita’s conditions.

For other Card Makers, Alita’s price is really cheap and the requirements are really few.

Osiris could only think that this Alita is a middle-aged person, got pregnant by Karoso, how else could she be recruited?

"Red," Osiris said softly.

"Here." Red stood behind Osiris, and replied.

"Look into this person named Alita," Osiris rubbed his temples, "If everything checks out, sign a contract with her."

"Afterwards, Karoso promised her salary will be provided by Canglang Province."

"Yes."

"Also, send an expert to the capital city to protect Karoso and Alita. If Alita has any good research results, they may need to be sent to Canglang Province for safety."

Osiris instinctively wanted to believe in Karoso’s judgment and abilities.

Karoso was willing to recruit, if the other party agrees, it must be something happened in between.

"Yes."

"Red, I feel that my son will definitely have a bright future in the future." Osiris rarely smiled on his face, "After going to school, in addition to studying, all he thinks about is his career. That’s my son."

"The young master is most like you." Red whispered.

"If one day, I am no longer here…" Osiris took a deep breath.

"Master, I will protect your safety with my life." Red solemnly said.

Osiris closed his eyes and lightly tapped on the table, "He is still young, it’s a bit early to make decisions now, let’s go do some work first."

"Yes."

……

When Karoso saw the Duke’s approval, he didn’t think much. Instead, he went back to his dormitory and wrote down what happened in the dungeon in a written form. He didn’t mention anything he shouldn’t say, only mentioning his good luck in noticing something odd about those monsters.

Karoso also didn’t mention what happened next.

After doing all this, Karoso went to class as usual.

The current situation in Class S is a bit strange. Even though Karoso is supposed to be in this class, he hasn’t attended many classes since the beginning of the school year. Every time he enters the classroom, everyone feels like he’s new.

"Brother Karoso, you’re back!" Ailina waved excitedly at Karoso.

"Yes," Karoso sat in front of Ailina.

"How was it, did Princess Teresa trouble you at all? I heard you had a conflict with someone at the tavern," Ailina said. "Princess Teresa’s hobbies are really strange, she likes going to such rowdy places to drink."

"We got along fine, although I wasn’t used to the scene there. But I could feel some atmosphere of Canglang Province there, not bad at all."

"Hmm… the atmosphere of Canglang Province?" Ailina suddenly realized.

Everyone says that Canglang Province is a wild place, not very developed in terms of economy, but its industry is very advanced.

Yes, there are many workers there, so these small taverns are quite popular, aren’t they?

But Ailina doesn’t want to go to such a place to please Karoso.

She feels like a princess who should not appear in such a setting.

"Karoso, have you heard?" Rayne’s gaze shifted to Karoso with a hint of excitement in her tone. "Professor Alita, who teaches card making, has come out of her lab and will resume normal classes! She hasn’t taught for a long time, so she will start with the regular class of fifth graders."

"I’ve heard," Karoso nodded.

"That’s great, our school now has three S-class Card Making Teachers," Rayne said admiringly.

Rayne thought that the kingdom had many high-end card research projects that needed such talents.

When she starts serving the royal family, won’t I have gained another S-class Card Making Teacher?

In the royal palace, I am the only one making cards.

If I can get close to her and get along well, maybe she will support me in the future… That would be amazing!
