Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1069 Teacher's Kindness (Part 2)

The Seven Rings of the Holy Tower World.

"Still alive? That's... great!"

Having waited for over a month, when Green heard the news that Andersen was still alive, he was overwhelmed with a unique and indescribable emotion, a feeling that transcended the bond between teacher and student.

Green had considered fostering it in the Tower of Annihilation for protection, but he quickly erased the little mage, which was too selfish!

Green could use his power to protect this child who went beyond the bond of discipleship, but in fulfilling his pathetic desire to protect, he was also obliterating the infinite potential of this third disciple, even though, realistically, he was almost worthless compared to Cappuccino and Hizzard.

But the more this happens, the more Green needs to pay attention to him.

Because Green was the same way in the past!

Once upon a time, Senior Sister Youquan was like a mountain. On one hand, Green had endless admiration and worship, but on the other hand, she oppressed Green to the point of almost suffocating him. No matter what he did or what achievements he made, in the eyes of others, he seemed to be someone standing in the shadow of Senior Sister Youquan, living as a second Youquan.

To break free from this shadow, Green kept striving, even at the peak of level three. It wasn't until he advanced to the Saint Mark and finally reached the same level as his senior sister that he realized he had unknowingly surpassed everyone.

Therefore, neither the exceptionally talented Cappuccino nor the incomparable Herzog were the best candidates for Green to inherit his will.

As a natural-born follower of the wizard's will, Cappuccino was favored and protected by this world from birth. As long as she did not leave this world, she could almost roam freely. No one would kill a guardian, yet she did not have to fulfill the responsibilities of a world guardian.

Her will was not firm.

Although Blackthorn possesses wizarding wisdom and unparalleled talent that Grimm is completely satisfied with, once he advances to the level of a Saint Mark Wizard, he will almost instantly inherit the glorious dark will of the ancient wizards of the Soul Wedding Dress. After accumulating for two lifetimes, even if Grimm imposes his will on him now, it will probably not have much effect in the future.

Thus, deep down, Green always hoped that an ordinary wizard could achieve extraordinary success through his own efforts, wisdom, and luck, prove himself, and inherit his will!

Of the three disciples, only Andersen was the most suitable.

"Heh, not only is he still alive, but if the information from the front lines wasn't absolutely true, even I would find it hard to believe that a mere Level 1 wizard who has been on the front lines for a little over four hundred years has consecutively earned four Level 3 Medals of Honor, one Level 2 Medal of Honor, and one Level 1 Medal of Honor!"

The wizard with the Will-o'-the-Wisp Saint Mark, whom Green had commissioned to inquire about information, had ghostly flames flickering in his eyes as he murmured in low surprise.

"What!?"

Even with Green's composure, upon hearing that Andersen had achieved such a series of accomplishments, he couldn't help but let out a low gasp of disbelief.

"How did he do that? Was it because of my status? But even so, he's only a level one wizard. How could he have achieved so much?"

"Let me check."

As the Will-o'-the-Wisp Saint Mark Wizard spoke, the runes in the crystal ball flickered, and he nodded frequently. After a long while, he turned off the crystal ball.

"Tower of Annihilation, your disciple... truly possesses both luck and wisdom. Congratulations on taking in such a fine disciple! When everyone else gave up, only he did not, inspiring the legion and ultimately holding on until reinforcements arrived, changing the course of the battle. Besides his personal strength, he possesses all the qualities of a Bright Wizard Captain, especially his unwavering belief in never giving up. He is truly a promising talent, already attracting the attention of Dawn Wisdom. Even if you hadn't sought him out, you should have immediately transferred him back to the Wizarding World for further development and training."

At this moment, Green couldn't describe how he felt.

Too satisfied, even exceeding Green's expectations!

Andersen, who had only taught him the most basic wizarding path during his wizarding apprenticeship without any bias, achieved far more than he had expected or imagined, even surpassing his former self, as well as Cappuccino and Hizzo.

For far too many years, Green had not felt his emotions so vulnerable and moved.

For a long time, Green stood silently, recalling the time when Andersen was still a mischievous child in the cave. He remembered how, while recovering his spiritual strength, he had painstakingly taught Andersen how to be a person, how to do things, and how to explore the mysteries of truth. He also recalled the spirit of never giving up hope and unity that Green had lost on his path of growth in the Dark Witch.

Unconsciously, his eyes became a little moist, and Green seemed to see Peranos's carefree attitude before leaving.

"Mentor, your wizarding will can continue to be passed down..."

…………

"tutor……"

Five hundred years is not a long time for Grimm, but it is far too long for Andersen.

The long journey with Mentor Green has long since become the deepest memory in his heart, a warm and inspiring spirit like that of a father. Every time others were about to give up, it was Mentor Green's earnest teachings that helped Andersen Seymour get through it.

The wizards around him kept falling and changing, but Andersen never thought of failure or death. He had transformed from a little wizard who yearned for everything into a full-fledged wizard who took on everything!

A serious appearance, an unyielding pace, a heart that pursues the mysteries of truth, and a belief in the invincible power of the wizarding army around him.

Green didn't know what had happened to Andersen, but he was no longer that child, the child who stood awkwardly and at a loss next to his genius senior brothers and sisters.

"good!"

Green patted Andersen on the shoulder, like a kind elder, extremely gratified, his voice trembling with emotion, nodding repeatedly.

"tutor!"

Beneath his stern exterior, Andersen burst into tears at this moment, like a child returning home, tightly embracing Green and weeping for all the innocence and beauty he had abandoned in order to mature at this moment.

Growth comes at a price!

In a secluded corner of the Seven Rings Holy Tower world, the master and disciple murmured softly before the campfire, with no one else around, communicating heart to heart.

Time passed unnoticed, and Green gradually learned about everything that had happened to his disciple, how similar it was to his own. He too had once had a love affair, but was separated by death due to the cruelty of the Civilization War. He hated Skynet, hated those cold metal robots, and hated his own past weakness.

A melodious horn sounded—the sound of the Seventh Ring World Heart opening, leading to the Ancient Tree of Life in the Wizarding World. Grimm stood up.

"Mentor, where are you going?"

He shook his head and smiled faintly.

"Going on a mission may be dangerous. Although I have prepared some backup plans, I am not sure if these plans can be guaranteed. So... I'll leave these to you."

As he spoke, Green severed one of his ring fingers! At the same time, there was also a notebook and a book.

"Take it. My body contains the secrets of the rules of the World Garment. This notebook contains knowledge of the power of annihilation and the source of annihilation. As for this book of Grimm's Fairy Tales... you don't understand it now. If one day you achieve the Saint Mark, you may understand a little."

Green turned around and walked away.

"Remember, these are merely my wizarding path, just your guiding lights. As the inheritor of my will, you must go further and longer, surpassing your senior brothers and sisters, surpassing me."
