Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 115 Happy to see the results
The two white-bearded mentors beside him quickly nodded their heads and did not dare to say anything more.

They knew that Melinda's decisions often had far-reaching implications, and her methods were beyond their comprehension.

Melinda's move undoubtedly bought Robin more time and space. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to get the Academy involved in this dispute, but rather preferred to wait and see how Robin grew in the crisis.

Her attitude also suggests that she has extremely high expectations for Robin's potential and may even have regarded him as an important chess piece.

Late at night, the old cat Audis, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared again.

"It seems that you have adapted to your new identity and are living quite well!"

Robin said unhappily, "This Wizarding Council is really disgusting. They are everywhere."

"The Wizarding Council is indeed everywhere, and their tentacles have extended to every corner of the kingdom." Audis' voice was low and calm, with a hint of helplessness and vigilance.

He is well aware of the power and danger of the Wizarding Council, which is why the Round Table Council has always been hiding in the dark.

Robin frowned, his tone filled with resentment: "What on earth do they want to do? Why do they keep staring at me?"

Audis shook his head slightly, his eyes showing a deep meaning, as if he saw through Robin’s inner uneasiness: “Your talent and potential make the Western Branch of the Wizarding Council feel threatened, but also make them see opportunities.

The Wizarding Council has been searching for geniuses who can break through the existing power system, and you are one of their targets." His voice was low and slow, with an undeniable heaviness.

"The Soul-Eating Crystal is a creation that is the product of their ultimate goal," Audis continued, a hint of coldness in his tone. "It is a forbidden object that can devour souls and distort life. The Wizard Council uses it to conduct various crazy experiments in an attempt to break the boundaries of life."

Robin was silent for a moment, feeling a heaviness in his heart.

In this life, I am really in conflict with the Wizard Council. If I don't get rid of the Wizard Council, I will never be able to live in peace.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, eventually turning into a low sigh.

"Then what should I do?" Robin asked in a low voice, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his tone.

He raised his head with a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if hoping that Audis could give him a clear answer.

Audis smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. "What you need to do now is to continue to grow stronger. Only when you are strong enough can you seize the initiative in this game. The academy's top management has begun to pay attention to you, especially Melinda. Her intervention may buy you some time."

"Melinda!" Robin was very surprised: "That woman is a senior member of the academy."

"You'll soon learn what that woman is capable of. Also!" Audis continued, his tone becoming serious. "You must be careful of Torres. Although his scheme is clumsy, there may be a larger force behind him. The Wizard Council's intervention may just be the tip of the iceberg."

A cold look flashed in Robin's eyes, and he clenched his fists tighter: "Torres...I won't let him succeed."

Audis nodded in satisfaction, then his figure gradually blurred, as if about to disappear into the night. "Remember, Robin, if you want to completely destroy the Soul Devouring Crystal, you must continue to become stronger. Until you break through to become a Legendary Knight or a formal wizard, we will be able to destroy the Soul Devouring Crystal's secret workshop."

His voice became softer and softer, until it almost became a breeze.

Before he finished speaking, Audis' figure had completely disappeared, leaving Robin standing alone in the night, looking firmly into the distance.

The night wind blew across his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, but a fire ignited in his heart.

The next morning, news broke that Robin had been assigned to the elite class. At Minerva Knight Academy, anyone who graduated from the elite class was, at best, a Grand Knight, with a high chance of becoming a Legendary Knight.

Among the thousands of students in the entire Knight Academy, less than twenty are able to enter the elite class.

For a time, Alan Wilk Wolft became the new celebrity of the academy.

Torres stood in the shadow of the academy's tower, staring coldly at Robin in the distance.

Robin was chatting and laughing with several students, and was completely unaware of the gazes in the dark.

Torres clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. The jealousy and anger in his heart gnawed at his sanity like a poisonous snake.

"Why...why can a illegitimate child like him be valued by the academy?" Torres whispered to himself, his tone full of unwillingness.

The backs of Leon and Pippen leaving appeared in his mind, and the feeling of being abandoned made him even more angry.

He has lost his status in the academy. Originally, there was a high chance that this spot would fall on him, but now it has become a bubble illusion.

All this is because of Robin.

Originally, he wanted the Wizard Council to take Robin away, or even cripple him. But now that Robin has become a student in the elite class, he has become the focus of the academy.

Thomas could never have imagined that all this was the inspiration he gave to Melinda when he sounded the alarm.

If you want the Wizard Council to pay more attention to Robin, you naturally need to give him corresponding status, so as to force the Wizard Council to send stronger people to intervene.

As for Thomas's little actions, Melinda has always been watching them and even welcomes them.

"Humans! What a pathetic and lamentable group of creatures." Melinda opened her hand fan to cover the lower half of her face, and her scarlet eyes stared at the students under the tower.

“It’s full of youthful energy, it’s really intoxicating.”

Through his family connections, Torres contacted Morris Black Crow, a first-ring wizard of the Wizarding Council.

Morris is a wizard who is good at manipulating people's minds and creating illusions. He is also very interested in Robin's talent, but he would rather prove his strength by destroying Robin.

In order to hide his identity, Torres changed his clothes several times before coming to a tavern called "It's Nice for Your Wife" to meet Morris.

In a secret basement, Torres and Morris sat face to face.

The dim candlelight reflected on Morris's pale face, making him look even more eerie.

"Your plan is interesting," Morris whispered, his voice like the hiss of a venomous snake, "but I need more chips."

Torres gritted his teeth, took out an ancient badge from his bosom, and handed it to Morris: "This is my family's heirloom. It is said to be related to a secret of the Wizard Council. As long as you help me destroy Robin, it will be yours."

Morris took the badge, a greedy glint in his eyes. "Deal."
