207. A Happy Day in Lamont

“I found an elf, an ancient and powerful wish elf, Tanvesgi.

It was a bad day. I couldn't get on the carriage in the morning, but I was late at the teacher meeting, which made the dean scold him fiercely.

He told me that I would not be promoted to lecturer this year, and afterwards, the principal also blamed me in a stern tone when he saw me, which also strengthened the dean's idea that I would not allow me to be promoted next year.

I really need that money. The assistant teacher’s monthly salary is only 30 pounds, while the lecturer is 100 pounds. If the rent was not for the price increase, I could barely live. However, the landlord has expressed his thoughts of driving me away many times recently.

I have been an assistant teacher for ten years. I know that I am not a genius or from a prestigious school, but people who were similar to me at the time either couldn't stand it and found another way out, or they had become a formal lecturer.

I probably understand why I was scolded so much, maybe because I embarrassed the dean, but I really don't understand why he is so cruel and makes me endure the pain for a whole year.

Because I won’t flatter him?

To be honest, I was indeed desperate and painful at that moment, but that emotion didn’t last long.”

Kelly could see that the owner of the diary had already let go of his obsession when he was writing this passage.

"I was looking for information in the school library, but I accidentally found a weird book. Its cover was red and there was a weird chain on it. No matter how I fiddled with it, I couldn't get the chains to get rid of the book.

I quietly took it from the library without telling anyone. On the one hand, I felt that the time spent on borrowing books was not enough for me to study it well, and on the other hand, my deep desire was unwilling to let me share it with others.

Why would I steal it?

I used the word steal because I felt like I might not return it.

Unlike a clichéd knight, this book does not have any enticing power, and no evil spirits seduce me in it, so why would I want to take it away?

The reason is ridiculous, because I really hope that it has some kind of evil power that controls the mind to pull me out of this dirty quagmire, even if it is pulled into a bottomless abyss, because I have had enough of it, this bad reality, the boring day and night of invisible heads.

I am like a child, grasping a straw that is illusory, hoping that it will turn into a tree in the sky and lift me up high.

I really, no, I wholeheartedly think that this ancient, mysterious, and weird book has some kind of supernatural power.

Whether it is ridiculed for my childishness or saying that I am sad.

I succeeded.

I used a sharp device, a lock unlocker, and I could not pull its body from the chain anyway, nor could I find its key in the library. It seems that the person who made this chain does not want future generations to open it again.

The material of the chain is also a special alloy, and neither strong acid nor strong alkali reacts at all.

But I am an excellent chemist, at least much better than the old man of the dean. Most of the materials I analyzed for alloys, such as iron, copper, silver, and even gold, many trace elements that cannot be detected due to the lack of instruments, and a metal that I don’t understand.

I made the dissolving agent, and although for some reason my dissolving agent could only melt a small part of the chain, it was enough.

I carefully let the dissolving agent flow through the surface of the metal chain, making meticulously ensure that the books will not be damaged at all. After all, I didn't want to be the old dean, so I hadn't gone to the laboratory long ago.

But afterwards I felt that even if I poured the dissolving solution onto a book, it would not be possible to reduce it even if it was one gram.

A miracle happened.

I thought I would see some taboo knowledge, dark magic, ancient witchcraft and so on.

I never imagined what is waiting for me to subvert the reason.

When I opened the book, a little man made of black lines stretched and yawned.

The villain I mean is a two-dimensional stickman composed purely of strokes, just like a casual work of a child, but the problem is that the villain living on paper moves on its own, as if there is life.

My first reaction at this moment was that this was actually a wizard trick. This guy was an elf made by a wizard.

I guess halfway, it is indeed an elf.

My King Arthur, he said he was a wish elf.

According to itself, it is called Tanvesgi, which comes from the old age and was born with the great world tree Uktrasir. It is a kind natural elves, a gathering of beautiful wishes. As long as you pay a reasonable price, it can realize my wishes.

‘There was a fee, but when you awaken me, I will fulfill a wish for you for free. But this wish cannot be too high or too stupid, otherwise I will cancel my promise.’

The Wish Elf said so.

‘Can I know how high it is?’

Little Stickman smiled mysteriously:

‘Are you sure you want to know this answer?’

I didn't answer this question because if I guessed the answer was sure.

‘I want to be the president of Aaron University.’ I said.

Then the dream comes true.

I am the president of Aaron University, as if I have always been the same.

No one knows where the premier went, no one remembers who he is, and I don’t care.

It would be enough for them to know that I was a legitimate principal.

Everyone was complimenting me, and the dean who once disdained me kept flattering me. He turned around and praised people for being so powerful that I wondered if he had relied on this ability to sit in his position today.

I actually have no right to criticize him. After all, I have also taken shortcuts to get my current status, but I still enjoy watching his ridiculous posture as clown.

I changed my mind and did not fire him directly, but slowly appreciated his ugly behavior. Finally, when he was most proud, someone would report him, and he would come to me for help.

And I can do whatever I want to do to him at that time. Whether I pretend to say that I can’t do anything or kick him away with a smile is up to me.

I, Lamont, went from a tiny teaching assistant to the president of one of the most famous universities, a figure in tremendous power, and it only happened in one day.

I am curious about the words of the Elf, saying that as long as I pay the price, I can realize my wish. Does that mean that as long as I can afford the price, I can realize another wish?"
