the next day.
Ian opened his eyes and looked at Willow beside him.
Her red hair, draped over her body, didn't give off an aggressive vibe; instead, it made her appear somewhat gentle and beautiful.
As if sensing his gaze, Willow opened her eyes and snuggled closer to Ian.
They lingered for a while longer.
The two then slowly got out of bed.
As soon as you go out.
"Come to my room!"
Ian looked at the message in the communication crystal, then at Willow beside him, and he immediately felt something was wrong!
Is the old father going to cause trouble?
But shouldn't it be like this?
Feeling uneasy, Ian knocked on the door and entered Horton's room. Horton was sitting to one side, and there was a wizard bound by vines next to him.
Ian's pupils dilated.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
He moved his throat slightly and asked.
"Shouldn't I be asking you this? Who have you messed with lately?" Horton looked up at Ian.
"Me? Who did I mess with?" Ian was still puzzled.
"Otherwise, why would this assassin infiltrate a sect in the middle of the night?" Horton countered.
"Someone sent an assassin to kill me yesterday!"
Ian was somewhat taken aback.
Although he has been in the academy for over a year, he has spent his days cultivating and has had very little interaction with the outside world. How could he possibly offend anyone?
No, there really is.
Ian immediately thought of Harold, the wizard who tried to bribe him with magic stones and was also his direct rival!
"I think I know who it is!"
Ian said.
"That's good!"
Horton nodded.
The worst thing about this kind of thing is not even knowing who the enemy is. At least now we have a direction.
"So what are you planning to do now?"
Horton then asked, curious about how Ian would handle the situation.
"Reporting to Mentor Kiran!"
Ian's gaze was calm.
Does he really think the academy is just for show? And his advisor is Kiran.
In this situation, it's natural to report it to Kieran, since Kieran would never cover it up, and even if he didn't, he could still resolve the issue.
"Okay, then I'll take you back to the academy."
Horton nodded.
They're not entirely stupid; the wizards of the academy should naturally be adept at using the academy's power. Killing those is something only wandering wizards do.
Since Ian didn't yet have Kieran's contact information, he notified Peter instead.
When Peter learned of this, he told the two of them to wait where they were.
Several hours later.
A dark silver, alchemically refined vehicle with pale blue runes flowing across its surface and bearing the insignia of the Four Symbols Academy stopped at the school's gate.
The car door slid open automatically, and Peter got out.
Ian was already waiting at the door, looking at the alchemical carriage with envy; this was no ordinary carriage.
"Ian."
Peter got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ian was alright. He then asked, "What happened?"
"Senior Peter, it's like this..."
'
Ian led Peter inside, speaking as he went.
After listening.
Peter's gaze also turned serious. If it were true, it would be a serious matter.
Soon, he saw the prisoners who were completely unconscious, as well as Horton.
Judging from the prisoner's appearance, Peter instantly realized that this was a first-stage first-level sorcery practitioner, which made him pay more attention to Horton standing next to him.
Even he might not be able to capture a wizard of this level silently.
Ian is no ordinary teacher.
"This prisoner's brain has specific traces of witchcraft that prevented me from spying on it, and the brain has been completely destroyed, making him essentially a living dead now."
Horton said at this moment.
Peter glanced at it, then turned to Ian and said, "Don't worry, the academy's methods aren't as simple as you think. Let's go back to the academy first; I've already informed the teacher."
"good!"
Ian nodded.
Soon, the two boarded the alchemical vehicle, and Horton, still worried, followed.
"Don't worry, this alchemical vehicle is so well-defended that even a first-level attacker would have to fight it for a while, not to mention it has the academy's insignia. Unless that assassin organization has gone mad."
Peter said.
The two felt much more at ease.
Just as Peter had said, the vehicle arrived at the academy without any problems.
Horton got out of the car and left.
Peter took Ian to the Four Symbols Courtyard, where they arrived at a small garden and met Kieran.
Kieran was watering a magical plant when he stopped and looked at the two of them.
"Peter, you should leave now."
He stood up, glanced at Peter, who nodded and left, then looked at Ian.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Ian didn't hide anything and told Kieran all his thoughts directly.
Kieran sat down in a chair and looked at Ian calmly, saying, "The assassin organization will definitely be dealt with, but I don't think we'll find any information about Harold there, and it won't be as easy as you think. Besides, Harold is my student, and you can't possibly be him. Why should I help you investigate him?"
Kieran had a half-smile in his eyes as he presented Ian with a difficult problem.
Ian thought for a few seconds.
Then, looking at Kieran, he said, "Mentor, I've read your notes, including the part about melting runes into the mental crystal. I should meet the requirements."
He didn't state any facts.
Instead, he showcased part of his talent once again.
Kieran abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat accusatory and cold: "You think your progress is just like this?"
"The student dares not!" Ian said, head bowed.
"But I'm falling for that. Just wait and see, I've already called Harold over here."
The coldness on Kieran's face vanished instantly in the next instant, and he changed his tone, revealing that he was actually quite susceptible to this kind of behavior.
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough!
"Help me plant some flowers when you have some free time. There are still a lot of plants that haven't been watered," Kieran said to Ian.
"OK."
Ian was watering the plants, or rather the magical plants, in the garden with nutrient solution. As expected of a second-ring wizard's garden, Ian didn't see any zero-ring magical plants.
Kieran watched Ian's actions and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Ian had not damaged the magical plant.
A while later.
Harold has arrived.
He still looked confused, but when he walked in and saw Ian, his eyes narrowed.
Although it quickly returned to normal, how could it escape Kieran's eyes?
Kieran already understood that this was most likely the case.
really.
Next, Kieran just tricked him.
Harold immediately realized he couldn't avoid it, so he simply admitted it.
He immediately burst into tears, saying, "Teacher, I really didn't mean it. Isn't it true that Junior Ian is alright? I'm willing to spend more resources to beg for forgiveness."
Ian ignored him completely.
Kieran looked at Harold and sighed, "Originally, if you had successfully advanced, I would have accepted you as a student. But I didn't expect you to be so impatient. From today onwards, you are no longer a student of Elemental Mystic Arts. Similarly, I will send you to the most dangerous combat zone on the front lines of the academy."
Is it enough to just advance?
Why would he hire an assassin?
Harold was stunned for a moment.
The regret in his heart overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, but it was too late for regrets.
Kieran also has the right to decide where a student goes.
As for the latter, it's because even elemental mysteries are embroiled in daily conflicts with large wizarding academies in some regions, meaning even formal wizards aren't guaranteed survival.
He hasn't advanced yet, isn't this going to kill him?
He wanted to say something more, but the next second, a powerful pressure came over him, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Ian watched calmly from the side.
Then Kieran turned to Ian and said meaningfully, "Advance to the next level as soon as possible!"
"Great mentor!"
Ian nodded.
However, looking into Kieran's eyes, he narrowed his own, feeling that there was something more to it!
What is it?
