Grimm was on his way to Black Isotta Academy's gate facing the Bramble Forest. He was thinking about the bi-annual compulsory mission issued by Norris.
Beneath the Ashen Mask, Glenn's eyes revealed a trace of profoundness. His eyes lost focus as he sank into contemplation.
"The mission location is located at the border between Black Isotta Academy and Mandala Academy. It's a low-grade magic stone mine with an annual yield of one million. A million magic stones may seem like a lot, but it's only 100 high-grade magic stones. It's not a big deal for the whole academy. Therefore, this mission became a mission for apprentices. Norris saw that it was a long way to go, so he gave it to me. "
The reward of this mission …
"As long as Black Isotta Academy obtains 50% of the magic stones, the mission will be completed. The five apprentices will receive 1,000 magic stones as a reward. If the reward exceeds 60%, the rest will be given to the apprentice who submitted the contract according to the amount of magic stones mined in a year! "
…
At the gate of Black Isotta Tower, Grimm was the last one to arrive.
It was not because Grimm was putting on airs and was late on purpose. It was because Norris took Grimm to the 100th floor of Black Isotta Tower to draw up the contract, which delayed him a lot of time.
"Green, it's you?" A female voice rang out, and Green couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
His skin was the color of buckwheat, and he had short black hair. His robust body was like that of a leopard, and he exuded an indescribable wildness. His eyes under his long eyelashes contained the fiery and unrestrained heat of the summer sun. This girl was Leona, who used to bring food to Grimm and Garnigel in Norris' lab every day.
"Great, Grimm! I didn't expect you to be the team leader. Now we can finish our mission easily, haha. " Leona excitedly put her arms around Grimm's neck. She didn't care about the intimacy between a man and a woman, and some taboo between wizards. They were like best friends.
Because in the past, the two of them were already used to this kind of bold contact.
Riona knew that Grimm was Norris's favorite student. Ordinary students couldn't compare to this kind of student. The fact that Grimm was chosen by the dean meant that this student must have some special ability. According to Leona's understanding of Grimm, Grimm was a guy who was passionate about combat spells!
After Leona put her arm around Grimm's shoulder, Grimm's wild, ferocious, and mysterious aura disappeared. The other three apprentices who didn't know Grimm were all surprised.
Did the higher-ups decide to appoint this unknown sorcerer-apprentice as the leader of this mission?
A female Sorcerer-Apprentice had her long blonde hair tied into small braids. It was very delicate, and it was obvious that she cared a lot about her hair and spent a lot of effort to dress it up.
The girl said, "Grimm? Rionna, you know him? How come I've never heard of him in the academy? "
It was obvious that the girl was very confident in herself. She believed that she had at least seen or heard of all the masters at her level and in the academy.
Leona just put her arms around Grimm's neck proudly and didn't answer. She couldn't say anything about Norris.
"Although I don't know why the academy gave the position to an apprentice who isn't even on the school's Potential List, I think there must be a reason. Hum, your name is Grimm, right? As the leader of this mission, don't let us down. " This male student's voice was a bit harsh. His loose robe covered his body and face, and only a string of green beads around his neck was very conspicuous. It was somewhat strange and filled with a green aura.
This man was on the Black Isotta Academy's Potential List, and he was ranked quite high. He had the potential to be on the top ten list. His name was Dida.
The last person was also wearing a loose robe.
He had a head full of golden hair, a pair of hawk-like eyes, and a golden beard. Seven or eight scrolls hung on his waist, and he held a bluish-yellow staff in his hand. On the top of the staff, there were traces of blue and purple aura constantly lingering.
"Huh? You're the Ashen Mask on the hunting list? Grimm, yes, the Ashen Mask Grimm! "This person finally remembered some clues about Grimm's identity and said in surprise.
As soon as the news of the hunting list came out, the others looked at each other and immediately took out a booklet to confirm Grimm's identity. Of course, they wouldn't be so bored as to go against Glenn and claim a reward that wasn't too much or too little from the hunting list. The reason why they wanted to confirm it was to prove that Glenn himself was qualified to be the leader of this small team.
Being able to make it onto the hunting list was a form of recognition of one's qualifications.
Grimm glanced at the hunting list in their hands and snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm.
After confirming Grimm's identity, Dida said coldly, "Well, since we've confirmed your identity, I have no objection to you being the leader."
The girl with golden braids also looked at Grimm and said softly, "Our mission this time is to make that Marquis Zungem re-establish his camp and re-divide the resources of the magic stone mine under his jurisdiction. We'll make sure that Black Iso Tower and Panorama Academy will each get 50%, or even … Black Iso Tower will get more."
Leona looked at Grimm and said with a smile, "Hey, Grimm, you're the leader. How should we complete the mission? The contract is with you, we'll follow whatever you say. "
Finally, the blond sorcerer-apprentice with seven or eight scrolls on his waist said, "However, we can't provoke that Marquis Zungem. Not to mention that he is a direct descendant of two great sorcerers, the legendary knight beside him who has been transformed by a great sorcerer is also very difficult to deal with. We are very likely to be no match for him at all."
After saying this, the sorcerer-apprentice also cast his gaze toward Glenn.
Glenn was wearing metal armor and an Ashen Mask. On his back was a Hydra Greatsword. Ever since he arrived, he had been very silent. He hadn't spoken a single word. It was the four of them who took matters into their own hands and spoke one after another. Glenn, on the other hand, was quietly listening.
Until now, everyone looked at him. Grimm quietly avoided Leona's arm around his shoulder, squatted on the ground, and spread out a map.
Grimm pointed to the mission location and said, "It'll take us at least a month to get here from the academy on foot, and the students of Panorama Academy will probably take one and a half months to get here. So it'll take us at least three months to complete the mission. It's a long mission."
They nodded and waited for Grimm's arrangement.
Grimm looked around and estimated their strength. He shook his head in disappointment. It seemed that Norris had seriously underestimated himself.
But …
This was also good, at least he could complete the mission faster. This way, he could squeeze out more time to research the Fire Blast Spell and not waste time on missions.
Thinking of this, Grimm pointed to a path that Panorama Academy students had to pass to get to the mission location. He put away the map and said lightly, "But I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to study a sorcery before the Holy Tower qualification battle, so I don't want to do this boring mission so slowly. I'll fly here at full speed and sign a contract with those students from Panorama Academy. In this way, the mission can be completed in less than a month. "
Grimm's words were as if it was a matter of course, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all.
With enough power, an advanced wizard did not need to consider the feelings of a low-ranking wizard. There was no special purpose, and there was no need to hide. That would be stupid. Enough deterrence could save a lot of trouble for a wizard of similar power.
Of course, being too ostentatious was also not suitable for the development of wizards. For example, killing people to keep them quiet …
Grimm would never admit that he killed Thunder Axe Gade. Although it would bring some fame to Grimm in a short time, it would cause more damage in the future. For example, some people would hate him and be on guard against him.
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that he was too short on time to study fire blast sorcery, Grimm wouldn't want to complete the mission in such an exaggerated way. After all, the mission would be much easier with a few more helpers. Before his strength reached a qualitative change, working together with his teammates to complete the mission was a general plan that every team leader with a little bit of wisdom would arrange. Moreover, Grimm could also train his physical attributes appropriately.
However, Grimm was a little short on time, so he had to arrange this extreme plan.
The other four students, including Leona, all stared at Grimm, dumbfounded. Even the relatively indifferent Dida couldn't help but be shocked. He asked in surprise, "Are you sure about what you said?"
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm calmly looked at Dida.
"The Holy Tower Tryouts will start in two years. I have to hurry up and complete this spell, so this is the only way." Grimm said seriously and firmly.
The girl with the golden braids frowned and said, "The strength of the two teams should be about the same. Are you sure you want to complete the mission like this? According to the normal mission process, we should first get the support of Marquis Zunggelm, and then … "
Grimm shook his head and said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? I'm in a hurry! "
Even though Leona had confidence in Grimm, she showed a hint of hesitation and said, "What should we do with this kind of mission? If we completely fail … "
"If the mission fails, the punishment will be mine alone. You don't have to worry about that. Even the 1000 magic stones reward for completing the mission will be paid by me personally. Of course, since I'm the team leader and in charge of the contract, the reward for completing the mission will be mine alone. "Grimm looked at everyone seriously.
After saying that, Grimm didn't want to waste any more time and rose up. He said lightly, "Now, you can choose to continue to the mission site, or you can choose to go back to the school directly."
The next moment, Grimm flew at full speed towards the Bramble Forest without caring about their reactions.
Grimm kept replenishing his mana with magic stones while flying at full speed. His destination was a mountain valley in the Panorama Academy's area of influence, which was about the edge of the Bramble Forest in the Black Isotta Academy's area of influence. That was a path that the opposing Sorcerer-Apprentices had to take to get to the mission location. Since many Sorcerer-Apprentices didn't have the ability to fly, they had to pass through that valley entrance.
In the blink of an eye, Glenn had turned into a small black dot in the midst of the four sorcerer-apprentices' stupefied expressions as he disappeared into the horizon.
