"You don't have to worry about that. A magic formation in the office blocks any sound from going out, but sound can come in; besides that, she is a member of the students union," Jill said.
Orson and Peter turned and looked at each other with visible confusion in their eyes.
'How the hell does saying she is a member of the students union help in this situation. The first assurance she gave was enough; you didn't have to go spouting... Well, maybe the student union of the academy is highly regarded, ' they both thought.
"Ok, " Orson replied.
Even with the drama happening, Peter still had some things on his mind, as he was calculating the best route to take.
'Originally, I wanted more time so that Orson might learn and master how to hide his cultivation level even from magic power measuring devices, but I know it is an impossible task, or to put it simply, I do not know where to obtain that knowledge from, though I know it exists, because how then are cultivation masking tools created.
But then again, knowing that the principal has been conquered by that dog of a friend might make things easier. Even if she discovers Orson's cultivation level from the test, I'm sure she wouldn't pry into the matter.
I just have a bunch that it will be this way. She seems easygoing, although I know that appearances might be deceiving, and if everything reaches a critical point, I'll just have to seek help from my family.
I know all these matters are simple and that Orson would be treated well if they knew his level, but I do not want him to step into the limelight as one of those geniuses, as this wouldn't help him achieve his goals to stand at the top.
Yes, being acknowledged as a cultivation genius brings about many benefits, and many families, clans, organizations, etcetera would want to recruit him, but at the end of the day, he would just be serving a master.
If they look into his background and see that it isn't noteworthy, he would just be bullied into joining one of them, and if he makes his intention to join one of them known, he might be dealt with by the others before it happens. The competition between all those powers is fierce, and one side will never let the other gain more power.
Ok, I've made up my mind, ' Peter thought.
"Principal Jill, I've thought about it, and in other not to delay the inevitable, I think Orson should take the test. I just ask that any matter relating to us would be kept between us, " He said.
'Now what the hell is this man doing? Why does he want to blow my cover? Now the whole world will know, and I will be given the title, 'heaven-born', and every day will be a busy day. Basically, my life would become like those superstars.
Oh, wait, he said the results should be kept between the three of us. Nevertheless, how is he sure that Jill here will keep to her word? Sigh! I'll just go with the flow, ' Orson thought.
Orson was ashamed of his thought process and hypocrisy. A part of him wanted others to see him even though he claimed to want to flow in the shadows and background of the world.
"Any way you want it, Mr Grey, I'm ready to deliver, " Jill said.
Hearing this, Orson and Peter turned to look at each other again.
'What the fuck! ' they both thought.
They didn't know if they were imagining things, or that the statement the Principal had just made had a clear hint of sexual innuendo in it.
'I better monitor Peter closely this night, as there is a chance he might go out to have some fun with a certain person named Jill, ' Orson thought.
"O.. Kay... Take us to where the tests go on then, " Peter said.
"Right away, follow me, " Jill said before leading the way from her office.
Outside the office, Penelope was still sitting, patiently waiting for them to come out.
"Don't you have lectures Ms. Penelope? " Jill asked.
"I've already taken permission to be here on your orders ma'am, don't you remember? "
"Ok, but you can go back and receive your lessons, your job here is done for today. "
"Ok Principal Orion Ma'am, " Jill saluted. She then waved them goodbye and went her way.
On their way to the testing room, Principal Orson gave Orson an oral orientation. From what she said, Orson learned that the Pearl Magic Academy had many departments, but unlike the universities in his last life, these departments in the Pearl Magic Academy were not under any faculty; they just stood on their own.
There was a large building located in the middle of the academy, which comprised mostly of lecture rooms. It was called the Central Building. The Principal's office was located in that building also, and that was where Orson and Peter were currently with the Principal.
Some departments in the school had at least a lecture room contained in them, while some didn't. Currently, most students were receiving lessons, so the Hall way of the central building was not crowded.
All the departments, plus the central building, had equipment capable of testing one's magic energy levels, so it wasn't long before Jill brought them to the room where the equipment was located.
"Good day Ma'am, " A staff who worked in the testing room saluted.
"Good day Sir Walter, " Jill greeted back.
"How may I be of help ma'am, " Walter asked.
"Well, I want to make use of the test room," Jill replied.
"Ok ma'am, let me prime the ener... "
"No need for that, you are relieved of your duties for the next thirty minutes. All I can tell you is that what I'm about to use this room for is classified, " Jill said.
The next thing that occurred nailed the coffin on the type of person that Orson and Peter had painted Jill to be in their heads...
