Chapter 9: Special Uniform and a free ride back home. (1/2)
The things that Dean Frankenstein handed over to him included a set of uniforms that is assigned to all other Freshmen of the Academy, a map of the Academy, his schedule, and a soft leather book with the title ”Beginner's guide to mana.”
The uniform was white, texture soft to the touch, looking very clean, a hint of extravagant was added at the chest pockets, small blue gems signifying the Frost Fall Academy was fixed on the chest pockets.
To his surprise, a system message popped up and notified him that the uniform contained mysterious properties.

This was a magical Academy. Even the most basic uniforms here possesses mysterious properties. One of them had caused his troubles to wane. Whittaker had never learned the way of washing clothes, now that his uniform automatically cleans itself, he didn't need to learn how to wash.
His crystal white eyes blazed with an interest in magic as he ran in the empty halls of the main academy building. Running in the hallway was forbidden. This was a common rule but he didn't know about that. Furthermore, he ran so that he can reach the boy's dormitory faster.

Whittaker would have rubbed his eyes in confusion if he was here.
”Haha, don't worry, in this entire Academy, rather, in my entire life, you are my only bastard child,” Headmaster said with a smirk that stabbed into Frankenstein's heart.
No one would believe that even the Kind Headmaster who looks like a buddha can spew out such vulgar words, yet he did.
Frankenstein gazed back at him with a smile that was not a smile. This secret was known to everyone who has been a part of this academy for a certain amount of time, and he has heard others calling him Yeon bastard son a lot of time. But this was actually a huge misunderstanding that he couldn't correct as he wanted to live peacefully. Now, this old man was using this to his advantage!
”Joke aside, old man Yeon, what is in that boy that caused you to personally move?” The Dean said, referring to Whittaker.
The headmaster crinkled his nose. In the entire Academy, only this person dares to disregard respect and directly call him by name. Yeon was the name of the Headmaster.
”Well, he...” A mysterious expression appeared in the kind face of the old man who was a crafty old fox with a silver tongue. The Headmaster leaned in and whispered some words in Frankenstein's ears.
”What!” Frankenstein exclaimed while smashing his hands on the table. Under the impact of his hand smashing on the table, it cracked up from the middle and shattered into two parts.
Frankenstein's reaction was as anticipated by the Headmaster. It really pleased this old fox, who caressed his beard and said,
