When they received the news that Richard had sent overnight, the expressions on the faces of the headmaster and vice-headmaster Denman were as interesting as one could imagine.
They didn't catch him? How was that possible!!!
It was true that the other party was a level 6 quasi-magus. Although the principal and vice-principal had always mocked him as a weakling, he was actually one of the strongest in the Dawn Continent. Considering Rob's monstrous talent and the fact that he had been taught by two old monsters who were over 200 years old together, his strength couldn't be measured by level alone.
Even so, facing the ruthless knights of the 2nd Knight Division, Your Honor, the future supreme magus, couldn't! Not! Not! He couldn't resist at all.
It wasn't just a matter of strength or numbers.
His opponents were a group of veterans who had been through the baptism of war. Their leader, Richard, was a level 8 grand knight. No matter how powerful Rob was, he was just a young mage who had been imprisoned in a high tower.
He was brimming with talent, able to construct a sixth-grade spell in less than half a year, but in other aspects, he was an out-and-out rookie.
No, perhaps calling him a rookie was too much of a compliment. Ever since his astonishing talent was discovered by Principal Staines, the poor youth had been living a miserable life isolated from the rest of the world. After so many years, the furthest place he had ever been to was Mikla City, which was forty miles away from the academy. That was the first time he had succeeded in his long escape. In the end, he was personally captured by the vice-principal and thrown into the simulated elemental field to be tortured for three months.
He was able to advance from a level 5 Archmage to a level 6 quasi-magus in just three years, which was inseparable from that incomparably harsh special training. However, the experience was too terrifying. Every time Rob recalled it, he couldn't help but tremble.
Many a night, the young man woke up from his sleep, wept at the crescent moon outside the window, and sighed for his misfortune.
He was about to turn 20, but the future supreme magus Your Honor hadn't even touched the hands of the opposite sex. He was as pure as a piece of white paper.
As the ideal partner and dream lover of countless female juniors, Rob was actually a novice when it came to love. If this news were to spread out, it would definitely cause countless people's jaws to drop.
And it wasn't just love. Apart from magic, Luo Bu's knowledge on other matters was also lacking.
Once, perhaps because the sun was too strong, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor suddenly lost his sense of direction as he ran. After running in a big circle, he actually turned back to the Academy of Magic, which made Vice-Principal Demain so angry that he laughed.
In short, no matter how one looked at it, with such a standard, it was impossible for him to escape from the hands of the Empire's elite knights. Unless …
"Unless someone secretly provided him with help when he was running away this time." Even though the dean was filled with sympathy for the young prodigy, in order to keep his job, he still stood firmly on the side of the principal and the vice-principal, so he stated his deduction directly.
"Find this person immediately. I want to see who has the guts to do this." The principal's tone was calm, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Supreme Magus Steins was completely enraged.
With Rob's pitiful social circle, this kind of thing was obviously impossible to hide.
In fact, it didn't take long for the accomplice's name to be placed in front of the principal.
"Third Prince, hmph, the royal family's reach is really long. In order to build a good relationship with the future supreme magus, they even came up with this kind of method. How childish. Don't they know that this will not benefit the future of humanity at all? It will only put Rob in danger. Without the protection of the magic circle and the principal, how far can a sixth-grade quasi-magus like him go in a continent surrounded by powerful enemies?" The vice-principal said angrily.
"Write a letter to Lionheart VII. I need an explanation for this matter. Also, give them three days to send Rob back to the academy. Otherwise, I don't mind trying out the new Forbidden Spell in his palace." Principal Steins said calmly.
However, no one expected that before this domineering letter of condemnation could be sent out, Lionheart VII's explanation had already arrived one step ahead of them.
The young man who was kidnapped by the Sixth Knight Regiment and sent to the academy to apologize was none other than the third prince, William. The vice-principal had a stomach full of anger, but didn't know where to vent it.
"Hmph, were you the one who helped that kid escape?"
"That's right." The third prince seemed to know how unwise it was to act tough in front of a high-level magus, so he had been obedient and cooperative from beginning to end, confessing to his crimes.
"You've got some guts. When did you two meet?"
"Half a year ago, Rob advanced to level six magus. My father and I came to congratulate him. Principal Steins was in a good mood that day and even invited the envoys from various countries to have a meal together. Rob also attended that meal."
The vice-principal was puzzled. "If I remember correctly, Rob didn't say anything at all during that meal."
The third prince nodded. "That's right. But when I went to the toilet, he secretly slipped me a small note."
The dean covered his face. What the hell was this godly development that seemed like he had mistakenly entered a multi-level marketing organization? Those who didn't know better would think that this kid had been kidnapped and sold here. The Royal College of Magic and Magic's face had been completely lost this time.
"From the note, I understood Lord Rob's difficult situation and deeply sympathized with him. As a knight, I couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Lord Rob asked for my help, and the knight's code constantly reminded me that I should lend a helping hand to every person in danger." The third prince said seriously.
"So you helped him plan this escape?" As a noble magus, the vice-principal didn't care about the knight's code at all.
"No. Strictly speaking, he was the one who planned the escape. I was just his assistant and did some work." The third prince was indeed from the royal family. He was very good at changing the direction of the wind when it came to politics. A second ago, he was a partner of justice, but a second later, when he saw that the situation wasn't right, he hurriedly pushed all the blame to Rob.
The principal was too lazy to argue with him. "I don't care. You youngsters have caused enough trouble. Now it's time to hand the person over."
The third prince clenched his teeth. "I'm sorry, Lord Steins. This person, I really can't hand over."
Seeing that the principal's expression was about to change, the dean hurriedly came out to smooth things over. "Aiyaya, we didn't mean to torture him and restrict his personal freedom. In fact, no one wants him to live a happy life more than we do. Unfortunately, his talent is a bit too amazing. Although it's an era of peace now, I'm sure Your Highness knows that the situation on the continent isn't stable. Many races don't want to see another genius Supreme Magus appear in the human race. We're doing this to protect his safety."
The third prince put on a long face. "I understand the reason, but I, oh no, Rob had already calculated this, so he only took a retainer knight from me. To be honest, I don't know where they're going."
Principal Steins finally lost his patience. He said with a sullen face, "In that case, you're actually useless. Hehe, I heard that Your Highness has many brothers and sisters. If you're gone, your father probably won't be too sad."
