Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 444 The Damaged Dormitory
Wizard Sphinx and Locke arrived at the student dormitory located 15km away.

Driven by prejudice against commoner wizards, the wizard Sphinx stormed angrily to the dormitory entrance. The students were clearly completely unprepared for the arrival of two first-ring wizards.

The students bowed to Locke and his companions, and many of them had strange expressions on their faces. Locke keenly noticed this, but the angry wizard Sphinx was completely oblivious.

The two walked into the entrance of the student dormitory corridor on the 15km floor and headed towards Leopold's dormitory. Before they even got close, they had already frowned.

The corridor floor was littered with furniture and beds, as well as fragments of clothes and low-level magical materials. When the two arrived at Leopold's dormitory, they were met with a scene of utter chaos.

The entire dormitory was completely destroyed, from the walls to the floor and the furniture.

On the wall, there was a message left in the magic paint of a quick-painting artist: 'Get out, commoners!'

That's magical pigment, one of the works of alchemists. It's difficult to remove on its own; only by using specific methods or after decades or more can it fade a little.

Leopold and several of his students were cleaning their dorm room. They were clearly very angry, but they held back their anger.

There were also many first-class wizard apprentices watching this scene, making sarcastic remarks and mocking laughter.

The arrival of Locke and the wizard Sphinx was clearly beyond everyone's expectations, and the laughter of the first-class wizard apprentices stopped abruptly.

Wizard Sphinx frowned, his contempt for the commoner wizards growing even stronger at the sight. "How did the student dormitory area, the highest level of the White Dragon Tower, become like this? Lord Locke, it's not that I'm questioning you, but firstly, these wizard apprentices stole money, and then, as soon as they arrived in such a nice place, they turned it into a mess, corrupting all our good students."

"This area was originally reserved for students from prestigious families; it was the highest-level apprentice area in the Six Towers. How dare they destroy it like this! No, I must send them to the wizard prison!"

Leopold and the others turned pale upon hearing the voice of Wizard Sphinx. They glanced at Wizard Sphinx fearfully, worried that they might cause trouble for Locke, and also afraid that this formal wizard at the liquefaction stage might actually send them to the wizard prison.

The family wizard apprentices watching the show felt like they had found a backer when they heard what Wizard Sphinx said, and their faces once again showed mockery towards Leopold and the others.

Leopold hurriedly said to Locke and Wizard Sphinx, "Mentors, we didn't do this destruction. We just returned to our dormitory and saw this."

The wizard Sphinx gave him a cold glance. "If you didn't do it, then tell me who did?"

Leopold opened his mouth to speak, but then he suddenly realized that he really didn't know who had done it.

Since the research team entered the finals, the family wizards have intensified their targeting of them, and it has become increasingly uncontrollable.

They reported this to the wizard Montgomery several times, but to no avail. The wizard Montgomery could only tell them to be patient.

They are people destined for great things, and they cannot lose their minds because of a little provocation from those people.

But they never expected to encounter such a thing today. Even some of the more precious apprentice-level magic materials he had left in his dormitory have now disappeared. Some of the research group's data, which was also left in the dormitory, are also missing. Fortunately, those data were all data from some unimportant experiments, so their loss was not a big deal.

The wizard Sphinx sneered. "I knew you wouldn't be able to say it, because there was no one else; it was you who did it."

The wizard Sphinx was full of prejudice. "The atmosphere here was fine before you entered; it only became like this after you came in."

"Once you are dealt with, order can be restored here."

"Is it wrong of me to arrive at this conclusion by simply thinking about a complex problem? Leopold, give me back the nine magic crystal cards you stole!"

Immediately, some of Locke's students looked at Leopold with puzzled expressions.

Leopold, while still puzzled, was startled by the targeted attack from the wizard Sphinx – nine magic crystal cards?

Even if he sold a magic crystal card, he still couldn't pay it back.

There are nine more!
Leopold felt as if he were caught in a whirlpool of trouble, with one misfortune after another befalling him today. Each misfortune struck so suddenly that he had no time to react before it happened.

He began to fear his future and destiny.

But just as Leopold felt helpless, Locke glanced indifferently at the wizard Sphinx and then gave Leopold a reassuring look.

Locke said, “Wait a minute, Sphinx, I’m his research group’s supervising wizard, so he’s actually under my supervision. I don’t remember him being under yours.” “Sphinx.”

The wizard Sphinx felt the cold magical pressure emanating from Locke, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Locke snapped his fingers, and instantly a magical radiance enveloped the entire student dormitory floor, emanating from Locke's feet and striking the ground in waves.

Locke collected the negative energy particle field around him, gathering all the information about everything that had happened from the day before until now, and transformed it into ghosts.

This is a hybrid spell combining historical projection and summoning tomb spirits.

Although this is only an apprentice-level archaeology magic, it is sufficient as it only investigates matters between apprentices and does not involve the influence of complex magical pressure.

“Actually, there’s an even simpler way, Sphinx. I can just restore what just happened.” Locke snapped his fingers, and instantly all the furnishings in the room were restored to their original state.

One by one, the items reappeared in the dormitory in the form of ghost particles.

The students were all taken aback by what they saw.

Wizard Sphinx exclaimed in surprise, "This is... an archaeological spell? Lord Locke, are you an archaeologist?"

“I remember that archaeologists have a special status among dark wizards… Many of their spells are derived from ancient ruins…”

"You're an archaeologist?"

Next, something even more surprising happened. Some ghosts entered the bedroom and immediately began smashing and looting, putting documents into their astral rings and taking some rare apprentice-level magical resources that were kept in the dormitory.

Next, they took the quick-painting artist's paint and started applying it to the wall.

To the wizard Sphinx's surprise, one of the wizarding apprentices who committed these atrocities was his first-class wizarding apprentice, and it seemed that he was the ringleader.

"Barnaby Cooper?"

The wizard Sphinx looked at Barnaby, who, in Locke's historical projection magic, was standing with his hands on his hips at the dormitory door laughing and even making a lewd gesture. Then his face immediately darkened.

"How dare he? The Cooper family is a mid-level prestigious family, how could they produce such a lewd heir? As an heir of a prestigious family, how could he make such a vulgar gesture in public? It's utterly immoral!"

Even in the Land of the Six Towers, morality still exists, and the major wizarding families still value etiquette and face in order to maintain their nobility.

Clearly, Barnaby Cooper's actions in the historical projection, and his completely different demeanor, surprised many of the family wizards watching the show, and even made them feel dissatisfied, displeased, or even resistant and disgusted.

Locke looked at Leopold, "Who are these people?"

Leopold pointed at the wizard Sphinders and said, "That Barnaby Cooper is a student of Master Sphinders."

Locke immediately looked at Wizard Sphinx and calmly said, "Wizard Sphinx, your student took my research group's data. Can you ask him to return it to me? Moreover, is this considered theft or robbery? Should we lock him up in the wizard prison?"

Wizard Sphinx swallowed hard, feeling utterly ashamed. He had been furious, wanting to find fault with those commoner wizards, but now he discovered that his students had just done something outrageous.

This student dormitory area is the highest-level apprentice-level area in the White Dragon Tower, and it is not allowed to be disrespectful in the first place. However, his students dared to damage it, which is equivalent to directly damaging the assets of the Plutarch family.

Sweat beaded on the wizard Sphinx's forehead. "This...this...Lord Locke, I really don't know anything. If I had known he would do something so stupid, I wouldn't have dared to come here with you today."

Wizard Sphinx immediately realized that his student had also taken Locke's research group's data, and a chill ran through him. He noticed that Locke's gaze towards him was completely different now; it was icy cold.

"I really don't know about this."

"This……"
