* Whoosh! *
One and a half months later.
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, which had accelerated to its maximum speed, disappeared in a flash. It was as if a black shadow had streaked across the sky. Arcane Sorcerers passing by the Bramble Forest couldn't help but look over.
Thinking that it was just a high-ranked Sorcerer passing by, these Arcane Sorcerers were dazed for a moment before continuing with their own tasks.
As for the Sorcerers apprentices in the Bramble Forest, they didn't notice anything at all.
* Buzz … *
Incomparably abrupt, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft suddenly stopped in mid-air from its extreme speed. The impact of inertia was completely ignored by the Reconnaissance Craft's superior capabilities.
Slowly, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft descended from mid-air to a height of half a meter above the ground.
Through the transparent metallic interior, Grimm and Little Eight could see a majestic black Sorcerer Tower that was hundreds of meters tall. The magic clouds gathered at the top of the tower were immeasurable.
"We've arrived at the Black Isotta Academy."
Grimm's lips curled into a smile as he spoke.
Far away from the academy, many Dark Sorcerers acolytes were secretly spying on this place. An owl flapped its wings like a Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and flew over.
* Kacha! *
The upper cabin door of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft opened. Grimm, who was lying on a perfectly fitted seat, slowly floated up and stood in mid-air. With a swipe of his Sabbatic Goat Staff, a black crack appeared and the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft was sucked into it.
The Sorcerers apprentices in the distance all looked at this mysterious and powerful Dark Sorcerer, guessing, observing, and longing.
The Mask of Truth had a grayish-white spiral pattern, and the Secret Compass Sorcerer's robe that was as blurry as sand. In his hand was a Sabbatic Goat Staff, and on his shoulder was a beautiful Myna with alternating red and green feathers, looking at its surroundings like a human.
When would he be able to become such a powerful Magus?
Grimm naturally knew that many Sorcerers apprentices were secretly peeking, observing, and longing for him.
As an official Sorcerer who had also experienced the Sorcerers apprentice stage, the thoughts of these Sorcerers apprentices were no more than his own.
Among these Sorcerers apprentices.
Most of them had just realized the cruelty of the Dark Sorcerers. They just wanted to stay away from the mysterious, terrifying, and irresistible Sorcerers.
Perhaps some of them were hoping that he could take them in as his disciples and impart their knowledge to him?
Hmm, maybe there were some like him back then, imagining that they could be like this powerful sorcerer in the future, grasping a powerful unknown mysterious power and looking down on many sorcerer-apprentices.
If one day, some of them also became official Sorcerers and returned to the academy at the same time, would they also feel as bored as he was now?
Gugu …
"Wizard Grimm, welcome back to the Black Isotta Academy."
The owl guardian of the Black Isotta Sorcerer Academy recognized Grimm. His initial registration turned into a salute and a greeting.
"Well, you can leave now. Young Master Grimm has something to discuss with Dean Norris."
Little Eight pretended to be a "big shot". She raised her head proudly and waved her wings at the owl, indicating that it could leave.
The owl's apricot-yellow eyes glanced at the myna. Then, it cooed again before turning around and flying away.
Grimm was deep in thought.
These owl guardians could borrow a part of the power of the Black Isotta Tower Stigmata Sorcerers within the academy. Although they were not as powerful as Demon-Hunters, they should be stronger than ordinary Level-1 Arcane Sorcerers.
"What are you looking at, kid!"
Myna shouted at a Dark Sorcerer-Apprentice in a threatening manner. Suddenly, the Dark Sorcerer-Apprentices who were peeping around were scared away.
Grimm did not care about these things. He flew straight to the 79th floor of the Black Isotta Tower, Norris' laboratory.
Standing in front of the teacher's door, Grimm calmed himself down and tidied up his appearance. He warned Little Eight, "Don't quarrel with Garnigel again. Otherwise, it won't count as me breaking my promise."
Myna snorted impatiently.
"Got it, got it. Pfft … Lord Myna is the great Steel Emblem Myna. I will not quarrel with a Black Cat. "
Grimm glared at the Myna before knocking on the door of his mentor's laboratory softly with a "dong dong dong" sound.
Creak!
The person who opened the door was Matron Alice. Grimm was a little surprised. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Matron."
"Hey, Grimm is back. Come on in. Your teacher is in the laboratory with Varro."
Matron Alice was smiling. She was very gentle, like the breath of the Tree of Life.
"Yes."
Suddenly, Grimm walked into the hall. He seemed to have thought of something. He opened the Dimensional Gap and handed a bottle filled with white liquid to Alice.
"This is a seasoning I found by chance during the Demon-Hunting Expedition. I've tried it and it tastes good. I'll give you and teacher a bottle."
This bottle of seasoning was emitting a rich cream fragrance. It was one of the things Grimm accidentally found in the Auricular Rabbit's Burrow in the Burrow World.
As a gourmet, Alice had a special fondness for ingredients and seasonings. She happily accepted it.
"Alright. Go and accompany your teacher. I'll prepare the banquet."
"Okay."
Grimm bowed and left the hall. He walked towards the laboratory corridor.
After looking at a few laboratories, Grimm walked towards the biological specimen laboratory. He gently opened the door of the laboratory, which was already closed.
Creak …
As soon as he entered the laboratory, Grimm saw that Varro's face had changed into that of an old man. Although his appearance had changed, he was laughing happily and excitedly. His personality was still the same as before.
There were a total of four people surrounding the experiment table.
The other three were Peranos, Garnigel, and an unfamiliar little girl that Grimm did not know.
The female sorcerer-apprentice looked extremely well-behaved. She was a little thin and had not finished puberty. She did not have the gloomy aura of a Dark Sorcerer-Apprentice.
The little girl was standing behind Peranos with her lips pursed. Her big eyes were curiously looking at Little Eight on Grimm's shoulder.
"Grimm is back? Come and see the biological specimen your second senior brother found in the Nut Elf World. "
Peranos waved at Grimm. His wrinkled face full of stitches was still ugly and terrifying.
"Teacher."
Grimm bowed respectfully.
On the other side, Varro laughed.
"Haha, Grimm, we haven't seen each other since you went to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. You've changed so much in a few hundred years!"
Varro had a withered old face. His left eye had changed into a mechanical eye. An elemental light ball with life force was lying on top of his head like a good baby.
They hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years. Varro had changed so much, but he was still talking about Grimm.
With a smile, Grimm threw a bottle of seasoning that he had given to Varro. "This is the seasoning I found in the Mission World," he said.
Varro unscrewed the cap and a rich cream aroma filled the air.
"Haha, not bad."
Varro waved at the little girl behind Peranos and pulled her to his side. He pointed at Grimm and said, "Vivian, this is your third senior brother, Grimm. Just like your eldest senior sister, Secluded Spring, he was the top sorcerer-apprentice in the Holy Tower qualification battle. He has a lot of good things in his hands. "
Huh?
Junior sister Vivian?
Grimm did not know how to react. But thinking about it, it was reasonable.
Peranos liked this female apprentice very much. He smiled and said, "Grimm, Vivian invented the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball before the Newcomer's Trial. It's exactly the same as you."
Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball?
What is this?
Grimm was curious. Looking at his junior sister, he felt a natural sense of closeness. His attitude was somewhat similar to how his eldest senior sister, Secluded Spring, had looked at him.
After thinking about it, Grimm took out a Fire Crystal Core.
This was something Grimm had obtained from a Lava Giant in the Sacred Lava Mountain of the Shadow World with wizard coins. Although it was not much to Grimm, it was a precious material with many uses for a sorcerer-apprentice.
The flame energy inside the Fire Crystal Core was wrapped in a layer of waste, making it look black.
Grimm gently wiped the black waste away, and a layer of dazzling light appeared.
Glenn passed the Flame Crystal Core to Vivian, whose eyes were lit up by the light of the Crystal Core.
Imitating the tone of his senior sister, Secluded Spring, Grimm said, "I traded a level-1 creature's Fire Crystal Core from a foreign creature in the mission world. There's still a lot of flame energy inside."
Looking at the quiet junior sister's face full of surprise, Grimm suddenly thought of something.
He only hoped that in the eyes of her teacher, she could quickly get rid of his shadow, just like how he got rid of the shadow of his eldest senior sister, Secluded Spring.
Vivian held the Fire Crystal Core with both hands, her face full of joy. She said shyly, "Thank you, third senior brother."
After a pause, Vivian looked up and added, "Senior brother Grimm, the parrot on your shoulder is so beautiful."
