"W-Wha…"
Korvus was flabbergasted at what he heard, and a bit offended.
The brat dared take preemptive measures against him?!
"W-Well, honestly, yes," Hal replied, a bit embarrassed.
The Deputy Headmaster was about to blow up, but Hal's next words came out and soothed the old man's heart.
"But I didn't do it out of disrespect for the Deputy Headmaster and his decisions," he continued.
"It's just that I don't grow stronger the same way others do, so studying the ways of an Arcanist on the side doesn't really hurt my potential. I also know that Lord Korvus has long been a master of the standard path, which is why it would be difficult for him to understand my unusual methods. But truly, doing this would actually help speed up my growth as a combat wizard, not delay it, so I do hope you understand.
