There were only three people in Fangling Tavern at the moment.
To be exact, there were only two of them.
Leon and Sailum. The extra person was Sailum's book spirit, Dark Codex.
Sailum was sitting on a branch of a tree. He leaned against the trunk and concentrated on a thick book in his hand.
Lyon sat cross-legged in the middle of the training ground. He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. In front of him was a plump woman holding a rapier. She seemed to be teaching Leon something. She was holding her glasses with one hand while wielding the rapier with the other. Every muscle on her body was moving gracefully.
When Angor pushed the door open, all three of them looked at him in confusion.
They all expressed different degrees of caution at Angor's uninvited intrusion. Leon even jumped up from the ground and pointed his sword at Angor.
When Angor removed the illusion on his face, Leon finally let out a sigh. Lyon let out a long sigh of relief, put down the sword in his hand, and continued to sit on the ground, panting.
Sailum jumped down from the tree and looked at Angor with curiosity. "You're back? People are saying that you've broken through. Is it true? "
Sailum walked around Angor. He could not sense any energy ripples on Angor's body. However, he sensed that Angor's aura had changed significantly compared to the last time he saw him in Floating Mech City.
While Sailum was sizing up Lyon's sword skills, the lady who taught him swordsmanship walked over gracefully.
"Mister Padt … Or should I call you Wizard Padt?" The woman's voice was soft and gentle. She also winked at Angor.
Sailum looked at her. "Dark Codex, stop fooling around. Change back to your male form."
The woman shrugged and changed into an elegant middle-aged man wearing a black suit. It was Sailum's book spirit, Dark Codex.
"Dark Codex is right, right? You really broke through?" Sailum asked again.
Angor nodded. "Yes. I was lucky enough to break through."
Sailum had heard a lot of rumors and had prepared himself mentally, but when he heard the truth, he still felt a little dizzy.
They were at the same level a few years ago. But now, Angor had surpassed him by one major barrier and three minor ones.
Sailum recovered from the shock and felt a complicated expression. There was jealousy, helplessness, and joy for Angor's breakthrough.
Sailum heaved a sigh when all these complicated emotions were mixed together. "I think I need to calm down for a while."
Sailum held the book in his hand and walked to the side absent-mindedly. He began to read. Angor noticed that the book was not Dark Codex. Instead, it was some law book from an unknown country. There were scales, a longsword, and a gavel drawn on the book.
However, Sailum was obviously not paying attention to the book. His eyes were unfocused, and his attention was not on the page.
Black Codex bowed slightly and said in an elegant tone, "Master is still in shock. He'll be fine after a while."
Angor nodded and stopped trying to provoke Sailum. Instead, he looked at his brother, Leon, who was still panting on the ground.
Compared to Sailum, Leon was much better. He already heard about Angor from Freud in the dream wasteland several days ago, so he was able to accept the news much better.
Besides, Angor was his younger brother. There was no way Leon would feel jealous. Instead, he felt happy.
"Since you're a wizard now, does that mean the Padt Family is also a formal wizard family?" Leon asked excitedly.
After Leon finished speaking, he was overjoyed.
"Sort of?" "But to become a wizard clan, there are still a lot of rules that need to be followed, even though supernaturals are a must."
Angor listed a variety of examples, such as recruiting new members, expanding the clan's members, establishing a supernatural system, cooperating with the Wizard Fair, and maintaining peace with other wizard clans and organizations on the surface.
"Also, a wizard clan can't think about the present, but the long-term future. So, are you sure you want to become a wizard clan? "
After hearing this, Lyon felt a headache coming on. "It sounds very troublesome, and after becoming a Magus, it seems like your footsteps will be tied down … Forget it then."
Leon's family was important, but his only family was even more important.
Angor didn't say much. He didn't have the final say on whether he could become a wizard clan or not. After all, Leon was the leader of the Padt Family. If Leon really wanted to become a wizard clan in the future, Angor wouldn't object.
After chatting with Leon for a while, Angor asked about the other people in the Pavilion of Youth.
Where did Nausica, Shiliew, and Shan go?
"Nausica went to participate in the promotion match. Shiliew and Shan went to watch. To be exact, Shiliew fell asleep, so Shan asked Gank to carry her to watch the match. "
The promotion match was different from the previous one.
To start the match, Nausica needed to collect 00 points from battles beyond Level 30 of the Tower of Infinity.
The previous matches could be considered as the preliminary matches. The promotion match was the key to the final matches.
Once Nausica defeated her opponent, she would become a wizard. At the same time, Nausica would become a new star.
And once she became a new star, she would be qualified to enter the Endless Corridor.
There were so many apprentices who came to Floating Mech City to participate in the Rising Star Competition. 99 of them were not aiming to become the champion. They all knew that only the most talented apprentices had a chance to become the champion. What they were after was actually the qualification to become a new star.
"When's the match?" Angor asked. "So, when's the match?"
Sailum, who had been "calming down" on the side, finally calmed down. He walked to Angor and answered the question for Leon. "The match has been going on for a long time. According to my calculations, it should be coming to an end now. If Angor — ahem, Wizard Padt — wants to go, it's already too late. "
"Just call me by my name," Angor said.
"That won't do. It's a matter of rules."
"If you mind, it'll hurt my feelings." Angor pretended to feel wronged.
In the wizarding world, strength was the most important thing. However, it wasn't a big problem for close friends. Like Sunders and Ness. Ness was still a level-1 wizard, but he often called Sunders by his name. He even used some joking terms.
Of course, this was only between friends who grew up on the same level. If there was a slight distance between them, or if they used to be seniors, even if their relationship improved, a change in address could still be considered offensive. For example, Sunders and Rein Mute were close friends, but Sunders had never crossed the line.
Sailum hesitated. "But —"
"Or, you can call me by my name in private." Before Sailum could refuse, Angor moved on to the next question. "Since Nausica's match is so important, why didn't you go?"
This time, it wasn't Sailum who answered. Leon scratched his head in embarrassment. "It's because of me."
As it turned out, Leon was going to face a very important match in the near future, which would determine whether he could advance from the first level to the second.
Since Nausica was going to participate in the match, Sailum volunteered to stay and let Dark Codex do an emergency analysis of the match, as well as Leon's final training.
Angor nodded. "I see. Since it's your most important match, I'll go with you."
Leon didn't know what to say. Why did he feel so stressed all of a sudden?
Since Leon's match was about to begin, Angor didn't want to talk too much with him. He asked Dark Codex to give Leon some advice while he asked Sailum about their participation in the new star match.
Angor was surprised to hear that Sailum joined the match before Nausica did. And he was already qualified as a new star.
Sailum explained, "Nausica needs to train Leon, so she doesn't have as many matches as before. Otherwise, she would've become a champion before me."
Shan hadn't reached Level 30 yet, so she couldn't get any points. Judging by the time, she probably wouldn't be qualified.
As for Shiliew, Sailum sighed and shook his head. "Shiliew is the strongest among us, but she only has 3 points."
He didn't need Sailum to tell him the reason. Sailum fell asleep during the match.
Angor only prepared several pills to keep Shiliew awake. Shiliew planned to use them only during crucial moments, so she didn't use them in normal matches. This caused Shiliew to fall asleep again and again and lose matches.
If Shiliew wanted to advance, she would have to stay awake for the next few matches.
Next, Sailum talked about Leon's match.
Leon's matches were boring. Most of the people in the first level were about as strong as Leon. They didn't know much about supernatural spells, so they mostly used mortal techniques.
Leon's matches weren't exciting, but as a Bloodline Master, and with Angor's Original Set, he didn't get hurt even if he lost a match. Therefore, he used all his strength and techniques in every match to give 100% of his strength.
Lyon's gains from the battle were also great. In particular, the few matches where he had lost even though he had the Initial Heart Equipment Set had given him a lot of inspiration.
Comparatively speaking, Leon's gains over the past few days could be said to be the greatest.
