I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 70 Black and White

The professors' duty offices were neither too big nor too small. There were a few desks, a few beds for resting, a simple alchemy table, and bookshelves piled high with bottles, jars, and various reference books.

Besides Nadine, there is another official wizard on duty today.

When Nadine and Roland walked in, the wizard was sitting at the desk, playing with a strange bronze object. It looked like an antique rather than a rare object.

When the wizard saw Nadine come in, he glanced at her indifferently, then continued to play with the antiques with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, not doing your job." Nadine snorted coldly and ignored the wizard.

The relationship between the two does not seem to be good.

Roland noticed that the emblem on the wizard was the emblem of the Old Black Abyss.

Unlike Professor Nar, this wizard did not deliberately restrain his magic power. The magic radiation from his body was very strong. Roland felt dizzy just by looking at him.

"So this is the difference between a proper wizard and an apprentice?"

As if sensing Roland's gaze, the wizard glanced at Roland coldly. Roland quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

In the Old Black Abyss Academy, there was a strict hierarchy between wizards and apprentices, and the wizards here were not only sadistic but also had serious bad tastes. Therefore, if an apprentice dared to look up at a regular wizard, he would generally not end up well.

Professor Bernard was a pure old Black Abyss wizard. Although the academy had been reformed, his ideas were still difficult to adapt to.

The fact that the White Wizards actually treated the students as equals was something very outrageous and funny in the eyes of the Black Abyss Wizards.

What's even more outrageous is that a few days ago when Bernard went to teach the freshmen, those freshmen not only made a lot of noise in the audience, but also played pranks on him. These damn little bugs!

At the time, Professor Bernard smiled and said nothing. That night, the entire class of over thirty apprentices had a nightmare. From then on, whenever Bernard went to class, the entire classroom would fall into complete silence. He would lecture while students below him urinated and defecated.

Regarding the issue of urinary and fecal incontinence among newborns, the White Wizards investigated for a long time, and all the suspicions pointed to Professor Bernard, but they lacked evidence.

That’s right, since there is no evidence, Professor Bernard still clocks in and out at work with a smile on his face every day, and still happily collects antiques every day.

As if he had thought of something interesting, Professor Bernard chuckled - he thought the new college was actually quite good.

If it were the old Black Abyss Academy, they wouldn't rely on evidence when doing things. Suspicion would be enough.

When they think a piece of glass is dirty, they will break it no matter it is dirty or not.

Of course, the old academy would certainly not punish a formal wizard for using a group of apprentices to test his new magic.

After all, isn't the purpose of apprentices' existence to conduct experiments for their mentors?

"We need to make a record and sign here." Professor Nadine first arranged for Roland to fill out some forms.

Soon, Roland finished writing everything and handed it to Professor Nadine.

He glanced at the documents and paused for a moment at Roland's name.

After a moment, Nadine put the papers away.

He patted his space belt, stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air. Then, Helena and the other three appeared out of thin air in the air.

"Well, let me take a look at these children."

After checking their condition, Professor Nadine touched his mustache and nodded slowly.

Roland asked nervously, "Professor, how many magic stones are needed to rescue them? I don't have much money with me."

Professor Nadine raised her head coldly: "What did you just say?"

Roland hurriedly explained, "Sir, I don't have any money right now, but we've gained some spoils this time, as well as the corpse of a mutant giant. They can all be exchanged for some magic stones—I can use my clothes to weigh them down." "Shut up!" Professor Nadine angrily slammed the table and stood up. "You're insulting the sacred profession of teacher!"

Roland stood there in shock.

Nadine calmed her thoughts and said softly to Roland, "Child, we are your teachers. The moment you become our students, we are obligated to take care of everything for you! Don't mention money anymore; this is our obligation. This is the Alexandra Arcane Academy, not the Alexandra Black Abyss Arcane Academy."

Nadine snorted again and glanced coldly at Bernard.

Bernard hummed twice with a forced smile, played with the antiques without raising his head, and ignored the white chess wizard.

Just a few days ago, an apprentice brought a puppet to the duty room. After Bernard removed the curse, he asked the apprentice to pay the magic stone.

After hearing about this, Nadine went to Bernard in person, but Bernard said to him: "I don't think much of this little magic stone, but there is no free lunch in the world. He must pay the price."

Professor Nadine was very angry about this matter, so when she heard Roland mention money today, she immediately got angry.

What he just said was meant for Bernard to hear.

"You can go now, kid," Nadine said to Roland. "Although you deserted at the last minute, I've decided not to hold you responsible since you tried to make amends after the fact. Go to the laboratory in the corner of the corridor on the second floor and find my instructor. He'll arrange a temporary dormitory for you. These kids will be fine. You'll see them in the dormitory tonight."

Roland thanked Teacher Nadine solemnly and turned to leave.

Professor Bernard suddenly raised his head: "Wait. Which department are you from?"

Roland replied, "Sir, I just started school today. I haven't completed the formalities yet."

Bernard interrupted with a wave of his hand: "That's enough, you are now a student of the Arcane Department."

Roland looked at Professor Nadine in astonishment and found that Nadine's face looked a little ugly.

Nadine said to Roland, "Son, the other departments of the academy are already full. All new students will be transferred to the Arcane Department."

"Leave? I didn't let him leave." Bernard looked at Nadine and said, "Nadine, have you forgotten something?"

Nadine frowned and asked, "Forgot what?"

"The price." Bernard said with a forced smile: "Nadine, you are the instructor on duty today. You can do good deeds for free. This is your wish, and I have no right to interfere. But..."

Bernard pointed at Roland and said, "He's my student. If he ran away today, it was all right! He had no obligation to die for a group of people he just met. But he risked his life to run back and save them. So, he deserves the reward he deserves!"

Professor Bernard slammed his fist on the table. He had long since had enough of the White Wizards' disgusting rules. "Don't tell me that classmates should help each other. Those who are saved must pay the price! There is no free lunch in this world!"

Roland stood there in a daze.

Bernard was indeed deliberately causing trouble, but what he said was the code of conduct of the Black Abyss Wizards.

Today, Roland met two wizards.

One is the White Wizard and the other is the Black Abyss Wizard.

They represent two different worldly philosophies of two wizards. Now, these two completely different wizards have to live together in this academy, and the conflicts between them are very great.

During the quarrel between the two wizards, their emotions fluctuated, and their control over their magic and mental power was greatly reduced.

For a moment, a vast amount of spiritual and magical energy danced wildly in the room. Books were blown into the air, and tables, chairs, and benches were constantly shaking. Roland's face turned pale, and he felt like he was about to give up.

"So this is a real wizard? You better not fight!" Roland said with sweat dripping down his forehead.

Finally, Professor Nadine waved her hand impatiently at Roland, signaling him to get out. Roland left with a pale face, as if he had been pardoned.
