Six days later.

After passing through several towns, we arrived at the last town on this mission, the town of Jotun.

After the monotonous aristocratic banquet, on the high platform in the hall, behind Green stood thirteen wizard apprentices with different expressions, vaguely forming a fairly united small team led by the four brothers.

The crystal ball touched the hands of many children—some clean, some rough, some delicate and smooth, adorned with decorative rings.

time flies.

No one in the town has yet been confirmed to have wizarding talent.

Green's eyes swept over the increasingly shorter queue outside the hall, noticing the growing worry and disappointment on the faces of the children waiting in line.

There shouldn't be any more children with a mental strength of over ten points among these children. It seems that I will be able to recruit a total of thirteen wizard apprentices for this mission, which exceeds the expected requirements.

Mystery Number One at the entrance collected a small bag of silver coins and handed it to Xiao Ba.

The tailless, ferocious boar-like monster, Mystery Number One, frightened the thin-looking little boy, who looked quite apprehensive.

"Hehe, let's go."

After Xiao Ba finished counting the silver coins in Mystery Number One, he spoke calmly.

The little boy swallowed hard, looking down at the thirteen high-ranking wizard apprentices behind the mysterious wizard wearing a gray-white mask on the high platform. They either ignored him or looked at him arrogantly. He was extremely nervous.

This is a gold coin! It's all my possessions, my only hope!

I must succeed! I must become a great wizard! Only in this way can I realize my dream!

Step by step, the little boy walked down to the foot of the platform and looked at the pair of two-colored eyes that seemed to see through everything beneath the gray-white mask of the wizard on the platform. His mind went blank.

"Place your hand on the crystal ball."

The wizard spoke, and the little boy quickly wiped his hands with his sleeve, then stretched out his scarred, frostbitten palms and pressed them against the transparent crystal ball...

Green stared indifferently at the crystal ball, completely ignoring the little boy's hands.

Green had seen countless hands like these during this time; they were exactly the hands he remembered.

"Mental strength eight, unqualified, next."

Green's voice was very calm, yet carried the commanding tone of a wizard. The little boy withdrew his hand, his face pale, and tears streamed down his face.

Green has seen this scene countless times.

"Don't block the children behind you!"

Green's voice grew increasingly cold. The little boy was terrified and instinctively walked towards the exit of the hall. The child behind the little boy paid his gold coins and came over impatiently, filled with trepidation and anticipation.

Once I leave this hall, I'll have no chance left...

No one paid attention to him. Like every other lost child who had left before him, he was just an ordinary person without any wizarding talent. Even some civilians who had gathered to watch the spectacle from afar were looking at him coldly and mocking him for wasting a gold coin.

"No! I can't just sit here and wait to die! I have to do something! I have to become a great wizard, to... to resurrect my mother!"

The little boy, who had already stepped out of the hall, pulled his foot back and suddenly rushed towards Xiao Ba next to him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Ba stared blankly at the little boy, and asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

Green, who was testing wizarding talent, raised his eyes and looked at the little boy who was holding Hachi tightly in his arms.

The nobles and guardian knights in the hall were all filled with rage. One knight even drew his longsword, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and roared, "You dog, do you want to live? Kneel down!"

Bang!

The little boy actually knelt on the ground, crying, "Waaah, Wizard, please take me as your disciple! I'll do anything!"

Green raised his hand, signaling the furious knights and nobles around him to step back. He didn't answer the little boy's question, but instead looked at Hachi.

"What happened?"

Green was asking why Xiao Ba had been captured.

"Uh... Young Master, I don't know either. I was just focused on counting the gold coins and didn't realize he was going to do this. Waaah, Young Master, help me! Am I being held hostage?"

Green glared at the myna bird. Is this kind of game fun?

They weren't hostages.

With this little boy, Green has a million ways to get Hachi out, and Hachi could even get out on its own, but it just showed no sign of escaping.

Once Hachi leaves the little boy, the boy will likely be immediately surrounded by knights and nobles...

Green looked at the trembling, pale-faced little boy.

"Become my disciple? You'd do anything for me? Humph!"

Green sneered, "Your behavior is utterly foolish. I have a thousand ways to kill you. The only reason you're here is because I want to know why you want to become a wizard. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you're not leaving today. A wizard's dignity is inviolable!"

Seeing that Green had taken control of the situation, Xiao Ba appeared out of thin air on Green's shoulder.

The little boy looked at the fierce-looking knights and nobles around him, at the indifferent and mocking gazes of the other children waiting to be tested for their wizarding talents, at the familiar faces in the distance looking at him with fear, at the wizard on the high platform who seemed to be above everything, and at the thirteen wizard apprentices who were mocking him.

The little boy kneeling on the ground felt so scared that he could hardly breathe.

"Because...because I want to bring my mother back to life, sob sob sob..."

Resurrecting Mom?

Green remained silent, becoming a wizard and resurrecting his mother...

Who is my mother?

Other homeless children in Bisel City were either abandoned or had lost both parents, but at least they knew about their parents. Why couldn't I find any clues about my parents and relatives? It was as if I had appeared out of thin air in this world.

My memories of that cold winter are only vague, as if I had been sleeping and having a very long dream.

"Waaaaah..."

A fierce-looking knight grabbed the little boy by the collar and hoisted him onto his shoulder as easily as lifting a chicken, his flushed face contorted with rage and murderous intent.

It's all because of this damned commoner that the Viscount was humiliated in front of the wizard!

The other children queuing at the entrance of the hall were so frightened that they kept their distance from the little boy, and the little girl being tested by Green was also trembling.

"Put him down."

Suddenly, Green spoke up.

Ok?

The knight turned around, his eyes, hidden beneath his metal helmet, looking at Green with a puzzled expression. He then punched the struggling little boy in the stomach, instantly calming him down.

"I said, put him down!"

Green shouted.

The knight's expression changed, and he quickly placed the little boy gently on the ground. He glanced into the hall and, at the viscount's signal, quickly left the courtyard.

The wizard's wrath was truly terrifying.

The little boy struggled to his feet, looked at Green with eyes full of tears and expectation.

"Hmph, resurrecting Mom? Interesting. Get behind me."

The little boy stared at Green in disbelief, taking hesitant steps. Suddenly, a viscount or nobleman in the hall said, "Master, isn't this... against the rules of wizarding?"

Green replied calmly, "Wizard rules? I am a wizard!"

The viscount was startled and dared not utter another word.

The eldest of the four brothers glanced at the little boy and said sharply, "You're really lucky to have become a wizard's apprentice. It's only because this wizard, Green, has a good temperament; if it were my father, you would have been dead long ago."

The fourth brother chimed in with a mocking remark: "Threatening wizards? You really came up with that idea. That's not wisdom, that's sheer stupidity. Haha, I hope you survive at Blacksota Wizarding Academy."

The little boy stood there blankly behind Green, not daring to say anything.

……

the next day.

Having completed his mission, Green stopped his black flying carpet mid-air on his way back, his eyes calmly fixed on the dark wizard atop a giant bird slave in front of him.

Behind him stood eight wizard apprentices, their entire bodies shrouded in black robes, their ghostly eyes fixed on Grimm.

"Fourteen wizard apprentices, heh heh, just right. I'm still two wizard apprentices short of Blacksota Academy's students, it seems..."

Green looked at the wizard and, for some reason, felt that the wizard's aura was familiar.

After a moment's thought, Green asked, "Are you... Yatz from the Ivory Castle Wizarding Academy?"

Ok?

The dark wizard atop the giant bird stared intently at Grimm for a moment, then gradually focused his gaze on Grimm's mask. His eyes suddenly flashed with a dark light, as if he had remembered something, and he said incredulously, "You are...."

Before Yatz could finish speaking, a high-ranking wizard wearing a top hat suddenly flew up from the ground. His powerful control over the forces of nature stirred up a massive cloud of elements, and he released an oppressive aura of a high-ranking wizard wielding the forces of nature against a low-ranking wizard.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, you might as well leave all your wizarding apprentices here!"

The suddenly appearing light wizard sneered, seemingly filled with resentment towards the dark wizard.

Yatz exclaimed in surprise, "A level two wizard?"

As Green looked at the short, pale-faced wizard with a black eyepatch over his right eye, his memory seemed to travel back hundreds of years.
