Three days later, Grimm, who had been flying at full speed in the sky, suddenly stopped.
"Huh? This sudden familiar feeling … "Grimm frowned and murmured. He slowly stretched out his hand and drew magic power. His five fingers made some irregular movements, as if some invisible strings had been strummed in the air. A spatial fluctuation appeared silently.
The next moment, a twisted awl-shaped mark was silently imprinted on the ground in the distance.
Grimm looked at the spatial attack on the ground, which he had just comprehended, and was delighted.
This was the spatial attack that Kyrie had casually displayed during the short battle between Kyrie and Grimm during the Newcomer's Trial. At that time, this kind of silent attack was almost impossible to guard against, and the degree of the attack was not low.
Now, Grimm had 40 points of spirit power to display this spatial ability. Although it was only about 80 degrees due to his lack of proficiency, as Grimm's understanding of space deepened, the degree of this silent spatial distortion attack would definitely be higher. Grimm was confident that it would reach more than 130 degrees in two years.
Of course, this was just a small trick for sneak attack, which could not play a key role in Grimm's current situation.
…
Ten days later, exhausted, Grimm returned to Norris's laboratory on the 79th floor of the Black Iso Tower.
Norris took the scroll handed to him by Grimm. In an instant, his eyes almost popped out. He pointed at Grimm, trembling. "You, you, you …"
Grimm thought his mentor was surprised by the speed and quality of his task. He shrugged and said lightly (proudly), "Because I was in a hurry to finish my research, I directly went to the Panorama Academy to intercept and kill the mission team, forcing them to sign this contract. Of course, because I accidentally killed one of their companions (the white unicorn), I simply killed them all, so that they wouldn't think of revenge in the future. "
"Oh, damn it!" Norris saw Grimm's proud expression and roared angrily. "You bastard! You only care about yourself! Didn't I tell you that the main purpose of the task is to gain experience? If you don't need experience, just tell me directly! "
Norris was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "Now that you've finished the task like this, what will the old guys in the Labyrinth College think? They'll think I'm showing off that I have a good student and slapping them in the face! Even if you had signed such an extreme contract at the mission location, I would have been able to evade it. But if you did this … "
Grimm's expression turned ugly. He had only cared about saving time and completing the quest as soon as possible. He hadn't considered this aspect at all.
Thus, Grimm couldn't help but look at Peranos with an unsightly expression, "Then what do we do now?"
Norris glared at Grimm and said, "What else can we do? I'll handle it myself. Don't leave the academy for the next two years and focus on preparing for the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. You'll be fine once you reach the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. If you don't become a reserve Demon-Hunter Sorcerer in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle, the old guys in Black Isotta Academy will definitely give you a death sentence after the Executive Officer mission is issued. " (Sorcerer-Apprentices who have participated in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle will be gradually dispersed after a hundred years in the academy. They will not be allowed to participate in the next one.)
Grimm's face turned pale. It was no joke to be remembered by the dean of an academy who was at least a Level-2 Sorcerer.
Grimm nodded and slowly said, "Got it."
It just so happened that Grimm had no intention of leaving the academy for the next two years. He only wanted to study the Fire Blast Sorcery to gain an absolute advantage in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle and compete for the highest honor and the highest reward for the Dark Sorcerer-Apprentices in the 11th to 15th districts. This way, he would have a 100% chance of advancing to an official Sorcerer!
With this in mind, Glenn completely gave up on the idea of killing the remaining three top-notch experts from the Black Isotta Sorcerer Academy. It seemed that the matter of the hunting list could only be solved by the Death Sail League's apprentices in the future.
However, according to Grimm's estimation, given Alastair's character, he would definitely choose to participate in the formulation of the hunting list instead of completely erasing this thing.
Even …
If it wasn't for the fact that Grimm's name was on the hunting list and Grimm thought it was some kind of insult and discrimination, Grimm wouldn't have any special thoughts about the existence of this thing.
Norris nodded and waved his hand to let Grimm leave. He sighed and said, "The Sorcerer in charge of the academy's mission system will give you the mission reward in a year. Go and prepare for the Holy Tower Qualification Battle."
"Yes!"
With a firm voice, Grimm closed the door and left.
When Leona, Dida, and the other apprentices who were assigned tasks with Grimm received the notification that their compulsory tasks had been completed, they were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
This …
It hadn't even been a month. That Ashen Mask Grimm really went to Panorama Academy's territory alone, intercepted their team of apprentices, and forced them to sign a contract?
Even the four of them weren't sure whether the contract Grimm signed was an equal one or an unfair one that benefited Black Isotta Academy.
However, being able to force a small team of the other side to sign a contract, Glenn's status among the few of them instantly rose to the position of the top ten experts. Even that girl with a head full of golden braids sold this information, and then Glenn's name appeared in an unremarkable position on the school's potential list.
The reason why Grimm didn't appear on the top ten, or even on the list of potential, was mainly because Grimm's specific battle record had never been exposed.
The only time his battle record was exposed was when he was on the hunting list.
This was because there were very few apprentices like Grimm who didn't make a move. Once he made a move, he would wipe out all traces and kill without mercy.
When some people noticed Grimm's name on the list of potential, Grimm seemed to have disappeared from the world. Only Lafite, who occasionally went to Grimm's house to have a good time, remembered that there was still such a person in this world.
Grimm's life had entered an extremely crazy state of research. A large number of formulas and knowledge about the stability of water and fire elements were constantly calculated by Grimm using complex intersecting formulas. Not to mention apprentices, many formal wizards couldn't even reach the level of calculation that Grimm was doing.
Gradually, the prototype of a double ring twelve asterism magic array began to appear in Grimm's soul.
This double ring twelve asterism magic array was like a hybrid magic array formed by the intersection of water and fire elements. A kind of contradictory yet integrated, stable yet violent energy was born in this mysterious combination. And this magic array was completely completed. It seemed that only one last stage was left before this energy system could be completely stabilized.
And this last stage was the intersection of the three basic annihilation reactions of water and fire elements. It was also the core of the Fire Blast spell.
Furthermore, if Grimm made a careless mistake in his calculations, the chaotic elemental power would completely detonate Grimm's body, turning him into countless fragments and vanishing from the world.
Therefore, Grimm had to be careful and cautious to the extreme. He couldn't make a single mistake, at least not when it came to the big energy nodes!
Frowning, Grimm habitually picked up the two broken branches and murmured, "There are still three months left. If I have to find a basic annihilation reaction intersection every month … Time is really too tight. I can only do my best."
With this thought, Grimm looked at the time and instinctively picked up the two broken branches. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the cross-section of the broken branches, at the mirror-like incision of the lightning. After more than ten years, Grimm could faintly feel that this lightning pattern in his soul had begun to have some kind of wonderful reaction. Grimm was sure that in at most five days, at least this time, he would definitely be able to completely understand this lightning pattern!
A fleeting lightning pattern flashed past the incision of the broken branches. Grimm's widened eyes suddenly shrank. Suddenly, a wonderful feeling appeared in Grimm's body.
Almost instinctively, Grimm actually threw away the broken branches in his hands, his face incomparably pale!
"What's going on? How can this be! "Grimm's face was astonishingly pale, his body somewhat trembling as he looked at the boundless sky.
This was because, at the moment when Grimm had just understood this wonderful lightning pattern, all of a sudden, Grimm's body actually had a trace of a strange connection with the mysterious place in the sky. And this connection made Grimm feel as if he had become some kind of hidden target. The violent lightning power would strike down at some point in the future and crush him with the power of heaven and earth!
Grimm closed his eyes, shook his head fiercely, and murmured, "No, no!"
With this thought, Grimm grabbed the two broken branches that he had just thrown away as if he was possessed. Both of his eyes stared at them without blinking. After an hourglass, besides the lightning pattern that he had already understood, another unfamiliar lightning pattern flashed and disappeared.
Grimm's pupils shrank. He slowly put down the broken branches in his hands and muttered to himself as if he had lost his soul, "What the hell is going on? Why is there such a phenomenon? It's not a rare rune … As my understanding of this wonderful lightning pattern deepens, the feeling of being locked on by the lightning of heaven and earth continuously deepens? "
Suddenly, Grimm looked at the broken branches in his hands and his body trembled. He exclaimed in shock, "Could it be … the reason why I'm being locked on by the lightning is because I understand these lightning patterns, so the laws of the world will send down a bolt of lightning to transform my body into a 'constitution' like these two broken branches? This' body 'is obviously filled with violent lightning power, but it is compressed in an extremely stable form in this small branch without erupting. It can't even achieve any form of energy transfer or borrowing, so what's the use of this? "
Grimm looked at the two broken branches in his hands and gently swallowed his saliva.
"What kind of power does this strange compressed lightning power have? These two broken branches clearly have no use, whether it is an elemental attack or a physical attack. The violent lightning power is like a dead object, and can't be triggered in any way. Even for alchemy, it's a piece of waste. "His brows were almost twisted into a ball as Grimm slowly put down the broken branches in his hands.
Maybe …
There was even more profound and mysterious knowledge hidden within, waiting for Grimm to explore, research, and discover. But at this moment, Grimm could only put it aside for the time being.
Because, the Holy Tower Qualification Battle that only happens once in a hundred years was imminent!
