The atmosphere was extremely tense. Yaz gripped the magic wand so tightly that his knuckles stood out.

"Who are you?"

The pale-faced wizard Dila turned his head, and the eye that was not covered by the black eyepatch looked at Green. After examining him carefully, he did not recognize any dark wizard with a similar appearance or aura in his memory.

"Gah! You actually ask who my young master is? My young master is the renowned Dean Peranos of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy..."

Green flicked the myna bird hard, signaling it to shut up.

Upon hearing that Green was a dark wizard from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy, Dira's pale face became even more sinister.

Hundreds of years ago, when I was on a mission to escort wizard apprentices in the Gem Sea, it was that wizard from this Dark Wizard Academy who hijacked the ship I was responsible for protecting.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Dila raised her palm, and with a "whoosh," a ball of gray flame blazed up, and a wave of heat emanating from her soul spread outwards.

Beneath the Face of Truth, Grimm's two-colored eyes focused their gaze on the gray flame.

Although both are dead soul flames, this Dila wizard's approach to manipulating the rules is completely different from that of the Three Pepper Ghost. The Three Pepper Ghost focuses on the versatile and dynamic use of dead soul flames, while Dila focuses entirely on the offensive nature of the soul.

"Are you Green?"

Suddenly, Yaz's giant bird approached Green and asked with suppressed excitement, even temporarily ignoring a level two wizard on a hijacking mission ahead.

During the Regional Academy Wars, Green, posing as the Pale Mask of the Black Tower Wizarding Academy's "Hunter List," worked with Yatz of the Ivory Castle Wizarding Academy for several years. At that time, Yatz was already one of the top ten masters renowned in Ivory Castle.

Later, in the Santa Qualifying Tournament.

Az unexpectedly faced off against Mina, the Son of the Sun. Due to Az's underestimation, he quickly provoked Mina's fierce revenge and was suppressed.

However, the ensuing team of Solem, Yunli, Bibiliona, Roga, and Yorkriana, who had a grudge against Mina, the Son of the Sun, launched a retaliatory attack on Mina, temporarily relieving Azs's predicament.

Just as the Son of the Sun was about to fall into disarray, the many wizard apprentices lurking around were about to rush in to seize the points. At this critical moment, Mina's sister Millie appeared.

As the Ice Phoenix unleashed its power, the numerous terrified wizarding apprentices of District Twelve scattered and fled, showcasing the legendary wizarding prowess of Millie, a master of the Ice Age.

Just then, Hillwoods, a powerful wizard apprentice from District 15 who had crossed over from another region, appeared.

This wizard apprentice from District 15, skilled in sonic magic, had dominated District 15 for decades, unmatched by anyone, and was known as the Bell Dominator. As soon as the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle began, he crossed over to District 14 and swept away all the wizard apprentices in District 14.

After realizing that the wizarding apprentices in District 14 were just as afraid of him as the wizarding apprentices in District 15, Hillwoods, having accumulated a large number of points in a short period of time, crossed over to District 12 again.

Thus, Ice Age Millie, representing the legendary wizard apprentice of District 12, and the incredibly powerful wizard apprentice of District 15, engaged in a fierce and epic battle.

Seeing that she was helpless against the wizarding apprentice from District 15, Millie finally unleashed her ultimate move, the Ice Age Sealing Technique, which sealed Hillwoods away in one fell swoop.

The terrifyingly powerful wizard apprentice who had crossed over from another realm was defeated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

As if by a twist of fate, Green, having completed the final stage of developing the Explosive Flame within the Earth Bud, broke free of the ice and accidentally destroyed the Ice Age sealing spell, releasing Hillwood and allowing this fearsome wizard apprentice to reappear in the world.

Lamenting, resentful, and hostile, the people of District 12 looked at Green, this seemingly completely superfluous "ignorant" being.

There was no further explanation.

It possesses the double effect of the mixed poison body-refining cells, both internally and externally, aided by the horsefly; it possesses the Grimm Holy Body Great Transformation Technique and the Grimm Three Secret Great Magic Techniques; it possesses the super-class magic technique Explosive Flame, which is a preliminary application of the power of annihilation; and it possesses the Holy Mark Key of Friendship of the Black Sota Holy Mark Wizard.

After a fierce battle, Green defeated Hillwoods, becoming the Nightmare Wizard Apprentice, a level above the Legendary Wizard Apprentice.

A nightmare has begun in the Holy Tower qualifiers!

District 11, District 12, District 13, District 14, District 15.

With Kretia's help, Green swept away all the wizard apprentices who could threaten his acquisition of the Heart of the World fragments. Even on the Holy Tower Arena, he had no opponents left, and was left to fight alone against three level-one alien creatures.

And this Yates, who was initially resentful of Green's troubles and superfluity, unleashed the terrifying Hillwoods.

Later, Green's fierce battle against Hillwood left Hillwood in disbelief, dumbfounded, and utterly shocked.

As the giant bird that finally descended from the Black Tower Secret Realm crushed Hillwoods with a single claw, Yatz was filled with nothing but admiration. He felt completely satisfied to have witnessed the ultimate showdown between wizard apprentices, and automatically handed over the points to Green before leaving the Secret Realm.

"Heisotakrin, go and represent our Twelfth District in the battle for the highest honor in the Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament! My points... are yours! Hehehehe!"

Yatz's words seemed to mark the beginning of the pinnacle of glory in Grimm's apprenticeship.

This is the story of an ordinary genius with no talent, no extraordinary opportunities, no family legends or history, no mortal enemies, and no special abilities. He relies on his own wisdom and hard work to gradually grow into a wizarding apprentice in one of the six major wizarding academies in District Twelve over a hundred years, under the cold and cruel rules of dark wizarding.

The so-called protagonist is not someone shaped by the story, but someone who constantly strives and grows into a center in a wider area and over a longer period of time, constantly pushing the changed destiny into history.

Green stood on the black flying carpet and nodded calmly to Yatz beside him.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yatz's cloudy eyes suddenly narrowed, and he could say nothing more, only his slightly rapid breathing remained.

The wizard apprentices on the giant bird behind Yatz were all trembling with fear.

For these children, the pressure of a second-level wizard was like the fear and unease they felt when they first saw the Masked Wizard of the Faceless flying in a sky full of crows on the ship. They still remember it vividly.

The children looked at Yaz, not understanding what was happening here; they had no control over their own destiny.

They will never understand that the success or failure of this kidnapping by the second-level wizard today will change the course of their lives.

Xiao Ba controlled the flying carpet, gradually bringing the child to the ground, while he himself remained in mid-air, looking at Dila.

Green said in a deep voice, "Wizard Dila, perhaps you don't remember, but more than six hundred years ago, on the ship that was hijacked by the Black Tower Wizarding Academy in the Gem Sea, there was an ordinary child named Green."

Dila, whose hands were engulfed in a raging gray flame and whose face was filled with malice, suddenly paused.

Dira looked at Green, whose face was hidden by a gray-white mask, whose body was covered by yellow sand, and who held a magic staff with a ram's horn and a skull in his hand. She would never have imagined that this was Helen from hundreds of years ago...

As for all his memories of that ocean liner...

A dense flock of crows relentlessly pursued her from behind, and Dila would never forget the fear and anger that welled up from the bottom of her heart!

"So... you were a member of that ocean liner?"

Dila the Wizard asked slowly, her voice tinged with pain and reproach.

That time, it wasn't just that he lost his mission, but also that he lost his dignity at Lilith's Hut Wizarding Academy and the future of a ship full of children as aspiring wizards.

really!

Hundreds of years later, a wizard who originally belonged to Lilith House is now confronting himself, the wizard of Lilith House's arcane arts, in the sky.

This is a huge tragedy!

All of this stemmed from my own negligence back then.

Closing her pale eyes, Dila took a deep breath of the slightly acidic air and looked at the first-level wizard before her, saying painfully, "Green, is it? Leave these children behind and go. As a first-level wizard, you should know the power of a second-level wizard."

"I can't leave these children behind."

Green spoke calmly and solemnly.

"Hmph! Perhaps you are powerful and confident. I was once a top-tier first-level wizard, hailed as a genius. So what? I was still utterly powerless against Nilmazar."

As she spoke, Dila gradually let go of the pain in her memory, and her voice became firm and rational.

"You should know the cruelty of dark wizards. Do you want them to become like you? At Lilith's Hut, they will grow much better. This is not only my way of making amends for the lost mission, but also a better choice for their destiny!"

Dila spoke with righteous indignation and with perfect self-evident reason.

Green looked down at the fourteen wizard apprentices standing in a group on the ground, gazing up at the sky.

Could one of my past self be among them?

Green didn't know.

Green knew that he could not back down today. This was not because of the mission, nor because of Peranos's trust, but simply because Green did not want another one of these fourteen people to suffer the same tragic fate as himself.

Looking up, Green stared directly at Dilla, his eyes equally determined.

"Their fate is now in our hands. There is no such thing as a better fate, only resentment for the powerlessness to control it back then! Now, their fate is to become dark wizards, and I, as their guide, will not allow them to one day watch their friends die in the regional academy war and resent why their fate was changed and they were not the original dark wizards..."

As he finished speaking, a fireball slowly ignited at the top of the Grimm's Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand, its intense heat spreading outwards.

"Just like before, Wizard Dila, you chose to take the initiative against Wizard Nirmaza, leaving my future self with no reason to blame you for failing to protect my destiny. Now, this is also my reason for these children!"

After saying that, the fireball at the top of the Grimm Horned Skull Magic Wand shot out.

boom!

Flames exploded everywhere, their power incredibly strong compared to a low-level spell cast by a first-level wizard.
