Duke and Vivian didn't have such sorcerer qualifications at the time, and Tom's fourth-class wizard qualification was indeed decent.
But that was all it was. For Duke, as long as he wanted to, he could easily find a group of wizard apprentices with qualifications better than Tom's as followers.
On Black Sail's Academy Island, there were many wizard apprentices, many of whom hoped for the opportunity to follow an official wizard, and quite a few had decent qualifications.
"You have the qualifications to become a wizard, but there's no need to follow me, it's too troublesome for me. Once things here are done, I can introduce you to a wizard organization," Duke said casually.
Once things ended here, Duke planned to take Tom back to Black Sail, as if contributing to Black Sail's growth.
When Tom heard Duke say that he had wizard qualifications, his eyes instantly filled with unbelievable joy, as if he had finally seen the light of a lighthouse in endless darkness.
