Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1760 Seclusion in a Small Town

The Seven Rings Holy Tower, the Peranos Enlightenment Academy.

Green concealed his presence using the dual guardianship rules of day and night, and as an ordinary headmaster of an enlightenment academy, he provided enlightenment education to these innate wizard children.

The ancestral sages have a path, diligence is the way; truth is boundless, hardship is the boat.

The powerful wizarding lettering at the back of the academy serves as a testament to the collaboration between Grimm and the One Circle True Spirit Wizard Silvana, writing a chapter of history and recording a story of struggle. It is imprinted on the back of every classroom in the Enlightenment Academy, echoing Antonio's famous quote in every formal wizarding academy: "Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as a fulcrum to move endless worlds."

The laws of the Wizarding World stipulate that every mentor in the Enlightenment Academy is part of the Wizarding World's organizational structure, receives a stipend from the Holy Tower, and is unconditionally conscripted when needed by the Wizarding World. They are reserve personnel under the Wizarding World's Demon Hunter Wizard Legion. Before taking office, each mentor undergoes rigorous examinations and a declaration of will, unlike before the Third Civilization War, when simply becoming a formal wizard was enough to become a mentor.

The academic education for wizard apprentices is now history.

With an average lifespan ranging from six to eight thousand years, some extreme individuals can live almost an entire era. Almost every adult wizard can easily possess the strength of a first-level life form. Coupled with a complete knowledge inheritance, the wizard race can be said to have an overwhelming advantage compared to the passively evolved creatures in the surrounding world!

With such overwhelming advantages, coupled with unparalleled adaptability, and no longer confined to the wizarding world to reproduce and thrive, it is believed that as time goes by, this terrifying species will gradually spread its fame to surrounding world communities, bringing endless despair to all creatures along the demon-hunting expedition.

Ring ring ring ring ring...

The crisp bell rang at the Enlightenment Academy. Green, who was giving a lecture, put down the scroll in his hand. His steady and weathered face, hidden beneath his golden hair, swept over the sunny and energetic children below the podium, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright, that's all for today's topic on the interaction between the forces of nature and the basic elements. Go back and review it carefully. Tomorrow is the field training session. Each student should prepare three magic stones to purchase a permit for collecting specimens in the protected area. The year-end final survey will be held in seven days."

Green gathered the books on the lectern and said this.

"Oh~~"

"Yay, school's finally over, Gillenstein, where are we going for drinks tonight?"

"Moko Family Social Party - Tickets are 2 Wizard Coins each. Buy now while supplies last, first come first served, while supplies last..."

The rich and varied leisure life is vastly different from Green's wizarding apprenticeship, and it also includes many fashionable elements brought by the Skynet wizards of the vast universe.

"tutor!"

Angela, with her wavy golden hair, walked toward Green, who was tidying up his notebooks on the podium. Her pure and innocent face, round eyes, and long eyelashes made her look very much like Biblioona, who was a contemporary of Green's wizarding apprentice.

However, compared to Bibi Leona from that dark era, Angelina was truly pure, as white as a piece of jade.

"In your explanation of the basic element theory, I tried to obtain rare runes using the calculation formula, but..."

Here, Jaina was asking Grin a question. From her sparkling eyes, Grin could see not only a thirst for knowledge, but something else entirely.

Although Green has not deliberately tried to look younger or show any mystery, his weathered face and mature and steady behavior seem to have a special attraction for the little girls of this era. Could it be that the young wizards of this era live too freely?

Having also experienced that passionate youth, and occasionally overhearing some young wizards gossiping behind their backs, Green didn't address it. He simply answered Jaina's questions in a businesslike manner. After all the young wizards in the classroom had left, Jaina lightly bit her alluring red lips a few times and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Teacher, these are tickets for 'Passion Vanguard' at the Daliro Cinema. It starts at 9:40 PM. See you there!"

After saying that, Gianna ignored Green's reaction and ran out of the classroom. She bumped into Millie, who was walking slowly towards her. Gianna quickly blushed and said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" to avoid the teacher before running away from the academy.

Millie glanced at Gianna's retreating figure with a puzzled look, then walked into the classroom and saw the movie tickets laid out in front of Green, and suddenly everything became clear.

As a wizard who had also experienced that innocent era, Millie paused for a moment with a hint of jealousy, then smiled mischievously and teased, "You probably didn't just establish this Peranos Enlightenment Academy to commemorate your mentor, did you? Look, it hasn't been that long, and a little girl has already asked you to go to the movies, and she's quite the avant-garde one at that. It seems this old witch can't compete with these young hunks."

"Pfft!"

Even Green couldn't help but chuckle, shake his head, and walk out of the classroom alongside Millie, clutching his notebook, mocking, "Are you jealous?"

"Hmph! Who cares? Go if you want, but this ticket for 'The Thief of the City' will be wasted."

Millie, surprisingly, adopted a demure, womanly demeanor, holding two movie tickets between her index and middle fingers, seemingly indifferent to Green's choice. Green couldn't help but chuckle, and tactfully accepted one ticket, saying casually, "These days are so nice. The League Conference is next year, I..."

"No work-related discussions during rest periods!"

After cutting off what Green was about to say, Millie linked arms with him and walked intimately toward the town streets.

"Dean Green, Professor Millie, are you going out?"

A male tutor hired by Peranos Academy greeted them warmly. This tutor was once an experienced traveling wizard who did not know the true identities of Grimm and Millie. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and his round face looked very honest and simple.

"Yes, Professor Piglen, and you?"

Green responded by waving.

"Hahaha, I heard a mermaid sea witch has come to the east of town to sing. I'm going to join in the fun, you guys continue!"

With that, Piglen left without looking back, and went on to enjoy a rich and fulfilling leisure life.

Wizards travel by the power of nature, and large mechanical devices are parked around. Highly intelligent life service robots come and go in an endless stream. Yet, this is just an ordinary fourth- or fifth-rate town with a population of a few hundred thousand in the wizarding world.

Millie would look at the decorations by the roadside for a while, then buy a few snacks, all while calculating how to spend her few wizard coins like a novice wizard. It was quite amusing.

As darkness fell, Millie, who was standing next to Green, suddenly said, "There's one last chance. If you don't go, that girl will definitely be heartbroken tomorrow. It might be her first date, and leaving her waiting all alone will definitely make you a heartless mentor."

Glancing at Millie, who was grinning mischievously beside him, Green said in a low voice, "Everyone has their own life experiences, don't they?"

A mischievous smile turned sweet as Millie followed Green into the 7D cinema. Immersed in the holographic projection, she experienced the joy of the Skynet world, completely forgetting everything else.

Seemingly having made a great decision, Millie silently approached Green amidst the constant rocking of the bubble seat, slowly grasping Green's right hand with her left.

Sensing something, Green flipped his hand over and grabbed Millie's left hand as well, their fingers intertwined, feeling the warmth of her palm.

"Hehehe, look, the two of them are here too!"

In the back row of the movie theater, in two small bubbles, Xiao Ba, who wasn't paying attention to the movie, woke up Ye Ye, who was completely absorbed in it, and pointed to Green and Millie in front of her and said something.

"Pah! Pah! He's an old monster who's lived for several epochs, yet he's out on dates like a little wizard. How shameless!"

Ye Ye muttered.

"Huh!? Aren't we on a date?"

Xiao Ba, exasperated, retorted, only to be met with Ye Ye's displeasure: "Who's on a date with you? We're divorced now, so this isn't a date! I'm just trying to appease a child who's never grown up. And take your dirty wings off!"

"Waaaaah, Ye Ye, you can't do this to me..."

Xiao Ba was almost in tears.

"A woman will always be a woman!"

Seeing that Ye Ye was still unhappy no matter how much she was coaxed, Xiao Ba said this sadly and forlornly.
