When Master Ykink heard him, a smile appeared on his face.
His impression toward Gerald was getting better and better now. After all, his status now was different as he was a student of the dean.
“Master Ykink, living here alone is a bit boring. Can I get a few people to live here with me? I have some friends studying in the academy as well!”
After thinking for a while, Gerald proposed to Karsten.
“Um… This…”
Master Ykink showed a doubtful face immediately.
Such a thing had never happened in the academy before, as Gerald’s identity was different from the rest.
Gerald took out a Heaven’s Apple from his storage ring immediately and gave it to Karsten.
“Master Ykink, this is a token of appreciation from me. Please help me with this!” Gerald pleaded with Karsten.
The moment Kasten saw Gerald taking out a Heaven’s Apple, he was dumbfounded.
He never expected Gerald to have a holy fruit.
“A Heaven’s Apple! Where… where did you get this?!” Karsten looked at Gerald in surprise and asked.
In the whole of Leicom Continent, there was only one place that grew Heaven’s Apples. Naturally, Kasten Ykink would know about it. However, he was very surprised that Gerald actually had one.
“Oh, someone gave it to me!”
Gerald smiled slightly and explained briefly.
Nevertheless, Karsten could sense that Gerald was hiding something, but he did not want to question him any further.
Since Gerald was so sincere, he was very willing to help him with it. So, he quickly took the Heaven’s Apple from Gerald and secured it in his pocket.
The Heaven’s Apple was such a precious thing that not just anyone could get. Karsten would of course accept the gift.
“Just tell me, Gerald. Who are the few that you want to live here with you? I shall make the arrangements for you!”
After that, Karsten agreed right away.
Gerald leaned closer to Karsten and whispered three names into Karsten’s ear.
“Alright, no problem. I’ll make the arrangements now. But Gerald, please keep this between just the two of us. You shouldn’t let the others know about this, or else the dean and the masters would blame me for it!”
Karsten did not forget to remind Gerald.
Gerald understood this well. He knew that this was not an honorable thing to do, but he didn’t want to live alone in this place.
Besides, Zelig, Nori, and Cyril were his friends. When he had such a good thing, of course he should share it with them. Moreover, Gerald didn’t want them to live here uncomfortably.
“Then, all is settled. Wait here first, and I will make arrangements for them to come and live here with you!”
Karsten instructed Gerald one last time before turning around and leaving.
Then, Gerald sat outside the pavilion and waited.
After ten minutes or so, he saw Karsten coming to the pavilion again with his three friends.
“Gerald!”
At the sight of Gerald, Nori couldn’t help but shout. She ran and skipped forward happily.
“Gerald, I shall not disturb you all now. You can clean up on your own. Tell me if you need anything!” Karsten did not want to disturb them anymore, so he left after advising them.
Looking at how Karsten treated Gerald with such respect, Nori and the other two were shocked.
“Gerald, what have you done to make Master Ykink treat you with such respect? And why are you here? What did you call us here for?”

Nori asked Gerald three questions in succession.
Gerald’s lips curled upward, and he said to them, “From now on, this place will be our residence. I am now the student of the dean!”
Hearing this, the three were even more amazed.
“Brother Gerald, are you kidding with us again? Are you really the student of the dean?” Cyril asked, looking at Gerald suspiciously.
“Well, I know you won’t believe me right away. Here, let me show you something. This is the special wooden token the dean gave me. If you still don’t believe me, you can go and ask Master Ykink!”
As Gerald was talking, he fished out the special wooden token Sumeru had given to him from his pocket and showed it to them.
Now, Nori, Zelig, and Cyril finally believed him. No wonder Master Ykink was so respectful toward Gerald. Evidently, this was the reason behind it.
“Gerald, you’re so cool! You actually become the student of the dean, plus, you get to live in such a good place!” Nori praised Gerald and looked at him with admiration.
“Ha! Ha!”
Gerald chuckled.
“But now, you will all live here together with me. That way, I won’t be so lonely!”
Hearing Gerald’s words, Nori, Zelig, and Cyril were taken aback. They didn’t expect that Gerald would let them live here with him.
Soon, the four friends roughly cleaned up the place and went to the canteen for dinner.
In Leicom Academy, there was a place specially designed for them to have meals. It was the same as the one on earth, just that the only difference was that it was in another world.
The four friends went to the canteen and took their food. Then, they sat together to eat and chat.
“Get out of the way! It’s the elite class’s turn to have a meal. Get lost, all of you!”
Right then, a furious and cold voice was heard.
They were all students from the elite class. Just by taking a look at them, they already felt that these people were very arrogant and domineering.
The students there quickly left when they saw the students from the elite class. Nobody dared to offend them.
“Gerald, they don’t seem to be friendly. What should we do?” Nori looked at Gerald and asked.
The others might be scared of the elite class, but not Gerald. Gerald was a student of the dean, so his status was even higher than those students. Moreover, Gerald was strong, so why must he fear them?
“Just ignore them. Let’s continue eating!”
Gerald said calmly. Then, they continued to eat their meals.
Seeing that Gerald and his friends had remained in their seats, the few students from the elite class walked toward them and surrounded the four of them,
“Hey, you four. Didn’t you understand what we said? It’s the elite class’s turn for meals now. If you know who you are, get lost, then. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being unfriendly!”
A man with a buzzcut haircut glared at them and scolded them in a cold tone.
These elite students were roughly Three- or Four-soul-rank of Sage Realm. They were more or less strong.
Right after the man with the buzzcut haircut had finished talking, he was flung into the sky by a strong force.
The one who had struck him was none other than Gerald.
“Where did that wild dog come from? This is a shared eating place. This is not the territory of the elite class!”
Gerald squeezed out the words coldly.
Immediately, the other elite students around prepared to fight.
All at once, swords were drawn, and the smell of fire was very strong. A big battle could erupt at any time.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1683 “Kid, you must be tired of living!” The man said furiously. As he said that, he slammed his fist toward Gerald.
Before he could touch Gerald, Gerald gave him a swift slap and sent him flying out. The man fell heavily on the table, splitting it into two halves.
“Stop!”
Right then, a serious voice was heard.
The master of the voice was Master Ykink.
He came in through the door and walked toward Gerald in quick steps.
Seeing the arrival of Master Ykink, everyone fell into silence and dared not act hastily. The few elite students even lowered their heads.
“Master Ykink!”
Everyone at the scene greeted him.
Karsten approached Gerald and asked with a serious face, “What’s going on? Who let you fight in the canteen?”
Although Gerald held a special status, he still had to act stern in front of other people.
“Master Ykink, it’s those elite students who started it. We were having our meals here, and they chased us out right after they came in, saying that it was the elite students’ turn to have their meal!”
Gerald stood still steadily and explained it to Master Ykink.
Upon hearing this, Master Ykink frowned even deeper. Then, he turned to the elite students and glared at them.
“The canteen is a shared place. Since when has it become your place for meals?” questioned Master Ykink.
The elite students did not dare to refute this. Although they were in the elite class, they did not dare to offend Master Ykink.
“We’re sorry, Master Ykink. We were wrong!”
The man with the buzzcut haircut got up and admitted his mistake cautiously.
However, his heart was burning with anger. He felt very embarrassed, and his heart was filled with hatred toward Gerald. He decided he absolutely had to find a chance to get his revenge.
“Let’s all disperse. No more next time!” Master Ykink admonished them sternly.
After that, the man with the buzzcut haircut quickly left the canteen with his gang.
After they had left, Master Ykink turned around and looked at Gerald.
“Gerald, you have to be careful with them. The boy with the buzzcut haircut is an elite student of Master Jizo. He’s called Landon Zukerberg. He’s a troublemaker in the academy who always bullies others. Also, he likes to play dirty tricks!” Master Ykink warned Gerald.
Gerald nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, Master Ykink. I, Gerald Crawford, do not fear such people. If they come to me, I’ll handle them!”
“Right. Gerald, there will be a contest soon. All of you better get ready!”
Before he left, Master Ykink reminded them again.
“Okay!”
Gerald nodded.
The four did not expect that they would have a contest so soon after just joining the academy.

However, this contest was not that simple.
The academy would hold this event every year after the enrollment of new students. This was also to test the students’ true ability. It would be carried out in the form of a duel between students from the beginner to the elite classes.
Soon, two days had passed.
And today was the very day of the contest at Leicom Academy.
Everyone in the academy gathered in the square. The beginner class sat in the east corner, the intermediate in the west corner, and the elite class in the south corner.
As for Gerald, he sat beside Dean Sumeru.
Seeing Gerald sitting beside Sumeru, everyone was in shock. They were curious about what his status was so much so that he was receiving such good treatment.
“Fellow students, today is the annual martial arts contest of our academy after the enrollment of the new students. As always, the students from three different levels will join the contest and duel with each other!”
After that, Master Ykink came forward and explained the flow of the event to the students.
“Next, let me introduce you to one person. He’s the student of our dean, Gerald Crawford. He will join this contest as well. You will have the chance to duel with him later!” Master Ykink introduced Gerald to
the other students.
The whole crowd was stirred up at once with all the people talking about the same thing.
Who would have thought that Gerald would become a student of the dean? As far as they knew, the dean had never taken a student under his guidance. And now, Gerald had become the first one. This made them wonder how strong Gerald was.
“Master Ykink, I have a question. If we beat him, does that mean that we will also become the dean’s student?”
Suddenly, a student from the elite class stood up and asked Master Ykink.
Master Ykink was stunned after hearing the question. He turned and looked at Dean Sumeru.
Sumeru pondered for a moment before standing up and saying, “Dear students, anyone who can defeat him will become my student!”
Upon his words, it once again caused a stir among the students down the stage. It was clearly a rare opportunity for all of them. Thinking of becoming the dean’s students just by defeating Gerald, they were very much willing to do it.
However, it would not be that easy, as it was impossible for them to defeat Gerald.
“Great. Next, let’s start with the first duel between a beginner student and an intermediate student. I shall invite the two classes to send out their respective students to the centre of the square!” Master Ykink said to the students immediately.
Having said that, a student from each of the classes walked to the centre of the square.
It was a battle between a beginner and an intermediate right in the first round. Although the contest might seem unfair, it wasn’t. In truth, the distribution of the students of different strengths varied among the three levels, so there might be some strong and powerful characters in the beginner class.
Soon, the duel between the two students at the centre of the square started.
It was worth mentioning that the student from the intermediate class was quite satisfactory. Whether it was his attack skills or speed, he was more excellent than the beginner student.
Even so, the beginner student was not easy to deal with either, and he didn’t get defeated too soon.
The two students fought for a few rounds before the intermediate student finally defeated the beginner student and won the battle.
Regardless, the beginner student’s performance was considered quite good. It was just that there was still a small gap between his ability and his opponent’s.
“Well, the victory of the first round goes to the intermediate student! Next, for the second round, let’s welcome a beginner student and an elite student!”
With the first duel ended, Master Ykink announced the second match.
A beginner student actually had to fight against an elite student in the second round. It seemed to be too demanding.
Naturally, nobody from the beginner class dared to step forward.

“I will do it!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from among the beginner students.
Gerald found the voice very familiar, so he looked in the direction of the voice immediately.
It turned out to be Zelig.
Gerald didn’t expect that Zelig would dare to come forward, knowing that this match was between a beginner and an elite, whose level of strengths would be apparently wide.
“What’s your name?” Master Ykink looked at Zelig and asked.
“Zelig Lear!” He blurted out his name.
Then, a student from the elite side came out. He was none other than Lev Bayfield, who had recently joined the elite class.
Lev Bayfield and Zelig Lear were both from Jaellatra, but Lev was slightly stronger than Zelig.
Zelig was currently in the Rune Realm, whereas Lev had already broken into the Sage Realm. Hence, there was a big gap between them in terms of power.
Lev’s lips curled upward into a wry smile, thinking that he had finally gotten the chance to torture Zelig.
Although they were both people from Jaellatra, the Lear family was more influential than the Bayfield family. This was also another reason Lev looked down upon Zelig, as he felt that it was absurd for the young master of the Lear family to be so weak.
“Yo, Young Master Lear, we finally meet again. But be careful, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”
Lev walked forward and stood in front of Zelig as he spoke, looking at him with a grim smile.
Zelig ignored what Lev said. He knew what Lev was thinking in his mind. He must have seen him, so he had deliberately stepped forward to fight with him. He had to be planning to humiliate him since he had gotten the chance.
Even though Zelig knew his ability was weaker, he would not retreat nor feel scared. He would resist Lev’s attacks with all his might.
“Get ready, the match is about to start!
Master Ykink cued Zelig and Lev.
Zelig and Lev got back to their respective sides, forming a ten-meter distance between them so that both of them would have a chance to react.
Meanwhile, Gerald was looking at them from above. He couldn’t help but start worrying.
Gerald was aware of Zelig’s strength. This match would most probably end with Zelig’s defeat since Lev was a strong opponent in the Sage Realm.
However, Gerald could not intervene and stop it since this was the rule of the contest.
So, Gerald could only hope that Zelig would be able to withstand the attacks and not lose too terribly.
“And it starts now!”
After that, the second match started officially with Master Ykink’s announcement.
Lev leaped forward immediately, heading toward Zelig at top speed.
Lev was in front of Zelig in the blink of an eye, drawing out his sword and stabbing it at Zelig.
The speed of a Sage was, of course, faster than a Chakra King.
But luckily, Zelig had been highly alert since just now. He took a few steps backward immediately and dodged Lev’s first attack.
“Huh. It looks like your reaction is fast enough!”
Lev smirked and smiled disdainfully as he mocked Zelig.
Having said that, Lev leaped into the sky and rotated his body one hundred and eighty degrees. Then, swinging the sword in his hand so fast that it formed a flower-like shadow, he attacked Zelig.
