(Written before, recently everyone said that I am water… well, I accept the criticism. I deleted the manuscript of tens of thousands of words after that, and edited and condensed the daily plot into one chapter. This chapter is The transitional chapter is a bit blunt… The next chapter begins the war trial plot.)
Tim Page’s icy gaze seemed to penetrate Dean Barbara and landed directly on Adam. The anger in it made Adam chill, but he knew he was safe, so he kept silent. suspended behind the dean.
Tim Pegg also revealed the true body of the element, but in the end, he did nothing, just detained Monica from the ground, and flew away from the tower without leaving a word of cruelty. .

“Actually, you don’t have to worry about it. Tim Page would never dare to kill you.” After the duel incident was settled, Tim Page took the only surviving apprentice, Monica, and left Moldo directly. Academy, and Adam followed Dean Barbara back to her office.
“Because of the rules of the Mage Council?”
Dean Barbara nodded: “Yes, there are very few regulations in the council, but the more it is like this, the less mage dares to violate the existing regulations, and even his first magic is just a bluff. , otherwise you have no chance of avoiding it at all.”
Adam recalled the situation just now and knew that the dean was right. The feeling after being locked on the front was really terrible. Adam suddenly thought of Anti-Mage: “Will he… ..”
“No.” Dean Barbara said firmly, and then looked at the puzzled Adam and explained: “First, the reason why he is angry is not how much he cares about the life and death of the apprentice, but more about the life and death of the apprentice. Because of the loss of face. Second, the war trial started soon, and the trial was watched by the true spirit archmage. As long as you passed the trial to become a mage, your soul would be uploaded to the magic net, and no mage would dare to Sneak attack on a war mage at the risk of angering all true spirits.”
Dean Barbara personally handed Adam a drink and motioned Adam to try it.
Adam looked at the purple blisters in the cup, and the hot and boiling drink was a little hesitant. After taking a tentative sip, he found that the strange drink tasted very good, and the liquid quickly filled the mental energy he had just consumed. , Adam’s eyes lit up and he drank the drink.
Adam thanked Dean Barbara and asked, “Excuse me, when will the war trials begin?”
Dean Barbara pointed to the seal on his chest: “Don’t worry, it’s good for you to stop properly. Although knowledge represents power, how to use power requires a process of exercise. I think When it comes to your magic, it’s pretty powerful, but I think you can do better, can’t you?”
Adam admits that what the Dean is saying makes sense, but it doesn’t apply to him. For him, the thread in his mind is being optimized every moment, and the new magic he just used on a whim is in the short time of the conversation. It has been revised many times, and if the duel happens again, he can guarantee that none of the Monte Carlo apprentices will be able to leave alive.
However, he immediately got the news he wanted to know. Dean Barbara smiled and said to him: “After waiting for two years, two years later, within the range of the Fifth Element Sacred Tower, all the qualified students in the academy will be The apprentices will be tested together under the arrangement of the Holy Tower.”

After getting the good news from the dean, Adam went to the academic department to submit his thesis and some relatively rough spells and runes. After walking out of the tower, he saw a group of people waiting outside.
In addition to the lab assistants and Elliott, William and Frank, who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, were also present.
“Let’s go.” After Adam said two words, he flew out of the academy with everyone behind him.
There is no funeral and no cemetery. After the death of the apprentice, most of the apprentices are directly incinerated with magic, and James is no exception. Under everyone’s attention, Adam took out James’ body from the portable space and suspended it in the air.
Adam waved his hand gently, and the raging flames ignited on the corpse. Along with a breeze from nowhere, the gray-white ashes flew to the heaven and earth.
Everyone bowed slightly, as a farewell to this old friend.
———
There was nothing to say along the way, everyone was separated in the academy, the assistants went to enjoy the vacation, and Adam returned to the academy with Frank.
“Aren’t you in a good state now?” Adam asked strangely.
In the face of Adam Frank, he had nothing to hide, he lifted off the cloak covering his body, revealing his body that had been mechanically transformed except for his head, and opened his mouth to make a strange voice: “Indeed, Master Jino’s research has When I came to some questions, I was going to ask you for help, but I didn’t expect to hear the news of James’ death.”
James is dead, and the two of them will not waste time expressing any remembrance to him. Adam feels the frail feeling of Frank’s body, and says, “Lack of motivation?”
“That’s right, that’s the problem. The batteries you made can no longer provide enough energy~IndoMTL.com~ I now have to replace the batteries three times a day to maintain the consumption of the most basic actions.”
“What did the Master Jino say?”
Frank took out a few batteries from the cloak, opened the baffle to replace it, and said, “Master Mage has thought about replacing some of the energy sources with magic power, but it is very incompatible with this kind of mechanical body built entirely on electrical energy. , he heard that your research has made new progress, so he asked me to ask.”
Adam knew why Frank came so coincidentally. It seems that the news between the mages was very fast: “This problem is not difficult to solve, you can go back and wait, and I will tell you the result.”
Since the two signed a contract before, Adam did not hesitate to invest in Frank. Once Frank is promoted to a mage with new energy, he will gain even greater benefits than Frank himself.
———
The next two years were calm without waves. Adam no longer accepted new assistants, and the old assistants did not renew their contracts after their contracts expired. Adam became even more low-key than before, and he was only in the laboratory every day. Perfecting the original spell rune set and creating new magic, rarely out of the laboratory.
On one day near the two-year deadline, a man whom he hadn’t seen in a long time came to his laboratory.
“Nice to see you again, Master Viktor.”
It was Victor’s avatar, who was fighting on the other plane, and the connection between his souls made him murderous.
He stepped forward and patted Adam on the shoulder: “Don’t call me your lord, you are already a member of the mages, you only need to call me Victor from now on.”
Adam is good at it.
“Are you ready? Your war trial is about to begin.”
“Of course, I can’t wait.”
