"Will."

On the other side, the blonde girl traveling with Viktor suddenly spoke up:

"Bruce smelled the boy's name, but just now, the scent disappeared."

"..."

Viktor raised an eyebrow slightly, pondering the name in his mind, feeling it was unfamiliar:

"Are there any other clues? For example, did Will use some kind of magical artifact to conceal his presence?"

"no."

Elena answered immediately, then looked at Victor with some concern.

She originally thought that with Bruce around, she would definitely be able to help Mr. Victor find the boy.

But now the other party has hidden themselves using some unknown means, so I can't help them at all.

"..."

Victor did not stop, but continued to lead the girl toward the scent Bruce had detected.

Although Will's exact location is still unknown, judging from the girl's sudden request to turn around, the direction Bruce gave for tracking must be correct.

"Don't be nervous, we just need to search this area, and..."

Viktor paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, Lynn's fragment suddenly sensed another part of him, and the distance between them was very close!

"How could this be? Lynn's companions managed to get in?"

Viktor looked around and saw only passersby.

Moreover, it was precisely because of his strange behavior that he immediately attracted the attention of several passersby and the gaze of a guard nearby.

Fortunately, the connection with Lynn's other half suddenly disappeared, so Victor immediately adjusted his facial expression and pretended to smile.

After taking a few steps forward, the surrounding gazes finally dispersed again.

He breathed a sigh of relief and began to reconsider his plans.

However, he did not notice the reaction of the girl next to him.

Just now, she felt the pressure in Victor's palm suddenly increase. As she wondered what was happening, she saw the guard looking at her.

She assumed that the guards had noticed her uncontrolled expression, and that Victor was protecting her, so her smile became even more natural.

"I have some guesses."

Once there were fewer pedestrians around, Victor said in a low voice.

Elena moved slightly closer to the boy, wanting to hear him more clearly.

"That Will is probably more than just a boy; he must have used some kind of shapeshifting magic."

Victor wasn't going to explain the "sensory connection" thing. Letting the girl know too much now might cause problems later.

He just felt it was a bit strange that the boy Will was here, because another part of Lynn was also in the vicinity.

Moreover, that sensation was too close.

This is very strange. Why would the two appear in such close positions?

Could it be a coincidence?

The idea had barely formed in his mind when Viktor rejected it.

Explaining everything as coincidence only leads to a departure from reality.

I've sensed another part of Lynn more than once!

"Let's go to places with fewer people and explore the alleys more."

Viktor glanced at Elena and noticed that the black aura in her golden eyes had lessened slightly, causing him to unconsciously furrow his brow.

Clearly, the black magic was not dissipating, but was still penetrating Elena's body.

time is limited.

......

Meanwhile, a secret meeting space.

"So, everyone who turned into a child when they entered Selene is a candidate for this exam?"

Isabel asked the question calmly.

Granny nodded, then shook his head:

"Not everyone will be like this, but other situations haven't occurred for hundreds of years, and we probably won't see them today either."

Isabel nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

After inquiring, she learned that the Selene Magic Academy was currently conducting a month-long entrance examination.

This assessment is not open to everyone; it is decided by Selene herself.

As for how to know if you have been chosen, you have to see if you are in a strange illusion.

"The City of Smiles" is such an assessment environment.

However, the illusion each person enters is not necessarily the same, and the reason why someone is assigned to a particular illusion is currently unknown.

"I see."

"Whether you were mistakenly admitted to the assessment or participated voluntarily, you cannot withdraw."

Seeing that Isabel had responded, Granny continued to explain.

It was supposed to be an explanation, but it sounded like it was hiding something else.

"You want to cooperate?"

Isabel's expression remained unchanged, but she felt a hint of disdain in her heart.

The academy's one-month assessment had no limit on the number of participants and no division into camps, so she guessed it must have used a ranking system.

If that's the case, then why cooperate at all?

Even though this body is just a puppet, she is confident that she can easily defeat Granny.

"I would be happy if you would."

Granny didn't respond directly, but instead led her deeper into the area:

"I won't force you if you don't want to, but I still need to tell you how to leave here."

Seeing this, Isabel did not react.

Will, on the contrary, shrank back, looking somewhat nervous.

"let's go."

The boy's timid appearance puzzled Isabel, who nodded stiffly.

After walking for a short while, the three arrived at a place where a crowd had gathered.

"I think there's something wrong with those guys who pray in church all the time."

"Nonsense, if you put it that way, who on the street is normal?"

The group seemed to be arguing about something, as if they were looking for something unusual.

Upon seeing three figures approaching, especially the red-haired girl behind Will, they all fell silent.

"This is Isabel, she will also be participating in the assessment next."

After he finished speaking, the expressions of the group returned to normal. One of them even snorted coldly and then turned his gaze to Will:

"Did you attract anyone's attention by carrying a dagger out?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Will.

"Well."

Will scratched his head, feeling increasingly embarrassed, and turned his head away: "Sorry... I lost my dagger."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had just asked the question muttered a curse and was about to step forward to teach Will a lesson.

But at that moment, Granny took the first step forward:

"Let my brother finish speaking first."

"Tsk."

The man immediately stopped. "Fine, then I'd like to hear why he lost his only piece of intelligence."

Intelligence items?

The word flashed through Isabel's mind, and she began to have some guesses.

It should be a tool that plays a significant role in advancing the assessment process.

"I went to the church with a dagger and met a strange man."

Although Will was somewhat flustered, he still tried his best to recall:

"His smile is exactly the same as those guys', but his behavior is very different; he has his own ideas."

"I suspect that he was the one who picked up the dagger."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the person who had just been somewhat dissatisfied with Will slowly composed himself.

"You mean, he didn't grow up to be as young as us?"
