Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1939 In-Depth Recollection (Part 2)

In my joy, I reached out to take the page of destiny, but it passed right through me, and I got nothing; it was just an illusion.

It was clearly because Antonio's letter of wisdom had not yet been read.

Later, I noticed something unusual about the atmosphere in the room. I wondered if it was related to my own behavior, because everyone, all the students, were watching me!

No, it's not about looking at yourself.

I noticed that what they were looking at was this figment of a little boy. Some people covered their mouths and laughed, some continued reading their books but turned their heads to look at the little boy, and some pretended to be reading their books attentively.

They were just a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids, in the prime of their innocent and carefree years, enjoying life to the fullest, with inexhaustible energy and boundless unknowns, much like Grimm during his wizarding apprenticeship, where every day was filled with joy and fulfillment.

The world is so big that one can spend a lifetime imagining its colorful wonders.

Later, he noticed that a tall man was standing behind him, watching the little boy who was engrossed in writing the page of destiny. Although he couldn't see the boy's face clearly, Green felt an immense sense of awe.

I had felt that way before, when Peranos looked at me during my time as a wizard's apprentice.

Looking at himself with earnest eyes and having extremely high expectations for himself, even the smallest mistakes are often magnified in the eyes of his caring mentor, Peranos, who demands even more from him.

This is why Green's attitude shifted from fear to dependence, and finally to gratitude, thus passing on his will.

Fortunately, Green was very strict with himself and was not reprimanded by Peranos many times.

Meanwhile, while other students were enthusiastically reciting their books, the little boy was writing the pages of his destiny, completely unaware of his teacher's dark anger behind him.

What will happen?

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Suddenly, the tutor slammed his hand on the boy's desk. Startled, the boy quickly put down his pen, turned around, and saw the tall and imposing tutor. He hurriedly stood up, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. His lips trembled, and his inferiority complex deepened.

The little boy tried desperately to put away the page of destiny, but his mentor held him down with a gloomy face. Unable to resist, the boy was eventually put away by his mentor.

In a low, cold tone, the instructor said something that, although Green couldn't understand his language, he could roughly guess that it meant something like "Come with me."

The little boy was filled with fear and despair, seemingly eagerly anticipating or pleading for something, yet unable to utter a word.

The little boy sat in the back row of the room, head down, silently following his instructor. The tall instructor stopped between the desks and the aisle. I could feel the little boy's fear at that moment, but in the end, the instructor stopped next to a girl who was pretending to read a book.

Green couldn't see the girl's exact features, but he could vaguely sense that she must be very beautiful. In stark contrast to his disgust and hatred for the little boy, Green felt a natural affinity for the girl. This affinity was quite strange; even though they were complete strangers, she made him feel very close to her, like a memory of first love.

The instructor said something in a low voice. The little girl didn't understand, but she also stood up and followed the instructor and the boy out of the lecture hall.

"Hehehe..."

"Hahaha……"

Standing at the door, Grimm watched the children, who were laughing happily after their teachers, boys, and girls had left. They seemed to already know why the wizarding teachers had called them away, and they were discussing among themselves with great enthusiasm. They were hardly studying at all, a far cry from the classroom of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy where Grimm was in the wizarding world.

Later, I followed the boy and girl into the room that the instructor had just led them into.

"Waaaaah..."

As soon as he entered, Green saw his furious mentor yelling and reprimanding him in a low voice. The girl was crying, looking so helpless, while the boy was pale and didn't know what to do. He just stared blankly at his mentor, his face full of pleading, weak and humble, without any opinions of his own.

In the illusion, the mentor looked at the little boy's disappointed expression and couldn't help but think of how he had once begged his mentor Peranos to help rescue Raffi. It was clearly a wrong decision, an act that violated the Seven Rings Tower. Peranos knew all this, but still agreed to Grin's rescue and provided the necessary assistance.

It was precisely because of this that during Green's advancement to the Saint Mark Wizard stage, he was completely unrestricted by mental tribulations and directly condensed the Saint Mark Soul.

At this point, the mentor's approach is likely to be the complete opposite of Peranos's approach back then.

The mentor looked at the little boy with heartache, but chose to give the Page of Destiny to the girl. The girl tore the Page of Destiny into pieces and threw them away, then ran out of the room crying, leaving the little boy trapped in endless inferiority, confusion, and despair.

Later, the light of wisdom disappeared, and in Grimm's gaze, everything began to dissipate, reverting back to the light of wisdom. Everything was constantly disappearing, retreating into the unknown darkness, but only the page of destiny, filled with runes that seemed to be an endless scroll of worlds, remained.

This is the complete content of the time-space letter left by Antonio. He still remembers it vividly. In Green's opinion, the reason why Antonio left the time-space letter in Hachi's stomach is likely because it is a very important clue. Those phantoms are likely Hachi's memories or even experiences. It's just unknown who Hachi represents. Is it a little boy, a little girl, a mentor, or those laughing classmates in the background? What use is it to him to know this?

"If only I knew Hachi's true origins, but how do I get Antonio...?"

Green pondered these fragmented clues, and the closer they got to the unreal, the more plausible they seemed. As Green muttered to himself, suddenly, something occurred to him.

"Millie!"

The reason Green was able to get Hachiman was because of Millie's handkerchief!

Millie likely knows something deeper, but for some reason hasn't told me!

There's also the strangeness about myself. Every time I'm unconscious, I always call out for Ye Ye, but I don't have much of a connection with Ye Ye. Although I can forcefully explain it by saying that I'm connected to Xiao Ba's soul, it's too far-fetched. Moreover, the number of times I call out for Ye Ye increases after each unconsciousness. Could it be that I'm being influenced by Xiao Ba and that the influence is getting stronger?

Looking back now, there might be some secret involved.
