Wizard's Journey

Chapter 599 The Ace Wizard

Wizarding apprentices are always filled with all sorts of fears when facing a professional wizard.

Chanel trembled with fear and unease, not only because of the terrifying scene of Green's transformation technique, but also because of the mysterious world of media in her experimental notes, which was actually a reflection of her jealous feelings during class...

After taking a deep breath to temporarily suppress her fear, Xiang Nai whispered, "There are seven rooms in the mentor's laboratory. Generally, only three rooms need to be cleaned. I will put all the dust and waste from the trash cans into a rope bag and put it in the designated garbage dump in the cypress forest, 300 meters away from the wizard tower."

Chanel stared at Green with her big eyes, quietly watching him, afraid that she had done something wrong.

Beneath the surface of truth, Green's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is there anything else? Like, did you open the garbage bag again...?"

Have you found it yet?

Kana felt as if she had collapsed, her eyes welled up with tears, and she choked out, "Yes."

"How many times? What did you take each time?"

Green pressed him for answers.

Chanel dared not lie to a formal wizard, biting her lip tightly, terrified.

"Every time, I take whatever I think is valuable from the trash bag: some discarded crystal cores, experimental waste, failed experiments, some discarded notebooks and papers..."

Green had also experienced the hardships of a wizarding apprentice, so it was perfectly normal for him to search for resources from the scraps left over by professional wizards.

For example, when Grimm was searching for companion worms during his apprenticeship, he found a strange regenerative worm from the Black Tower Academy's junkyard, which was the result of a wizard's failed experiment. Also, Leona, who was responsible for cleaning her mentor Peranos's room, often searched for valuable materials in her mentor's junk and often secretly read her mentor's books.

These are things that every formal wizard knows, and every formal wizard has had such an experience, so Green naturally wouldn't blame anyone for it.

It is an extremely unhealthy mentality to not allow others to have what one does not need.

The most crucial thing Green asked about was... these discarded experimental notes that he had inadvertently jotted down!

"What do you do with those discarded notebook papers? Have you given them to anyone else?"

Green's voice grew increasingly anxious and stern, making Chanel more and more frightened.

"My...those notebooks and drafts, many wizarding apprentices gather every now and then to exchange their drafts that they might find useful. Your drafts are very popular, and many wizarding apprentices are eager to collect them..."

Green's brows furrowed deeply; it seemed that the loss of his life code medium was no longer worth investigating.

The discarded draft paper was just one of the ways Green believed the medium of the Life Code curse might be lost, since Green's written notes were used in the tasks he signed, his lecture notes in class, and his evaluations of wizard apprentices during this period.

The way this discarded draft notebook was lost is so complicated; all the wizard apprentices who participated in the transaction could have been secondary intermediaries, and the unmanaged junkyard makes it even more difficult to trace.

With enough effort, it's almost easy to obtain Green's curse medium.

Looking at Kana, whose heart was pounding in her chest, Grimm sighed and said, "Alright, that's all for you. Get ready for the upcoming academy war. Good luck."

Chanel could hardly believe her ears.

"Yes, Professor Green."

Watching Chanel's departing figure, Green fell into deep thought. Although he had not yet made direct contact with this hidden figure, it was not difficult to tell from the other party's attack on him that this was an extremely cautious and experienced hidden figure. Even though he was only a level two wizard, he would never confront him directly, but would instead use various methods to interfere with him.

Perhaps the other party's goal is not to kill him, but to intimidate him, or perhaps he is just one of the targets of the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy. He is intimidating the entire academy, telling it that he does exist, but he will not show himself, instilling fear in people through his hidden methods.

"Hehehe, young master, do you have any ideas? How do we kill that guy?"

Shaking his head, Green remained silent. Although he had successfully broken the opponent's curse attack by using the Book of Truth to open the gate to the Forgotten World, in reality, Green still had no chance of winning.

Of course, at least Green didn't fail because of this.

In a contest between secret wizards, the odds of victory only begin to shift when the true identity of the other is discovered.

Walking step by step to the bookshelf, after tidying up the now-empty books, Green said in a low voice, "It seems this reclusive wizard is the true headmaster of the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy. His goal is the victory or defeat of the entire academy's war, not personal grudges. He wants me to find him and defeat him? He wants to keep me occupied because... he senses that I can now threaten the course of this war!"

With a low laugh, Green said, "Within the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Tower, is it really possible for such a curse to kill me? Hmph, curse magic, let the academy check the information on the third-level archmages skilled in curses at the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy. Perhaps there isn't even a third Hermit within the Nine-Headed Wrath Academy; this is just a facade put on by a curse wizard..."

After saying that, Green left the room with Little Eight on his shoulder.

…………

"A level three wizard skilled in curses? Such a great distance, and he's not a Saintly Wizard. It's only possible with the help of a high altar. I understand."

Peranos nodded, clearly taking the intelligence provided by Green to heart.

"Mentor, in this localized war arrangement by the academy, which has selected several battlefields for vying for the fresh blood of wizard apprentices, is Mothfrog City among them?"

Busy Peranos turned to look at Green.

"That's a big city near the academy. Even if I send out a full-fledged wizard to launch a surprise attack and briefly take control of the area outside the city, it will be difficult for the academy's wizard apprentices to compete with the opposing wizards. We have too few elite wizard apprentices, and we lack an invincible ace wizard apprentice. So we can only send our limited wizards to some small cities to compete for resources."

Green nodded and said, "Mentor, please arrange a city for me too."

"Hmph, I've already made arrangements without you even having to tell me! After all, you are my prized disciple, the most elite wizard under my command, and the ace secret wizard of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy!"

Receiving such praise and trust from his mentor, Green nodded and smiled, then left the Peranos Laboratory on the 79th floor of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Tower with Little Eight.

Sorry for the late second update.
