As usual, Sunders did not mind Flora's antics.
His lips curved into a smile, and his cold expression softened a little.
"You did well. Shine into the illusion and create reality. Your talent is extraordinary. "Sunders reached out a hand to Angor, who was still sitting on the ground.
Angor hesitated. He was facing a man who even wizards feared. Would he get beaten up if he did not reach out his hand? After hesitating for a while, Angor still took Sunders' hand.
Sunders pulled him up and looked at Angor with his dark brown eyes. "Do you want to be my student?"
Before Sunders could finish his words, the whispers of the supernaturals around them stopped abruptly. Then, they burst into an uproar.
"Sunders wants Angor to be his student?! This … this must be the biggest news in the southern region this year! "
"So far, Sunders only took in two students. Both of them have become official Magi. This mortal brat is really lucky! "
"Hmph. Instead of 'lucky', shouldn't you think about why Sunders wants him as his student?"
"Yeah, what's so special about him? Is it because of the strange story he told us about during the talent test? "
"Shh! Sunders fought so fiercely just now. He wanted to get into the hall before Heroline could test his talent. Didn't that already tell us something?" Someone exclaimed, and everyone fell into contemplation.
Yes, Sunders never did anything extreme. Even when Lady Jellal and Lady Flora were fighting at the entrance of the restaurant, he did not even look at them. But this time, he acted so impulsively. There must be something we do not know. For example, this young man named Angor might have a special talent that Sunders could not wait to take him in as his student?
But … no matter how good the talent was, it was only icing on the cake for a wizard. No Magus would really use a person's talent as a criterion for accepting a disciple. There were too many things to consider when becoming a wizard. Both ordinary and special talents had their own advantages.
Once a wizard became one, talent only determined the lower limit of a wizard. The accumulation of knowledge was the most important factor that determined a wizard's upper limit.
If that was the case, Angor's talent was enough for Sunders to make an exception and take him in as his student.
So … what was the limit of Angor's talent after becoming a wizard?
The apprentices all looked at Angor with jealousy in their eyes. Their futures were still uncertain, but this young man had already been taken in as a disciple by one of the most powerful adepts in the southern region!
How could there be such a huge gap between people? Moreover, this young man's luck is too good. He got a gold card and even accepted a disciple. Why didn't we get a share?
The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Not only were the apprentices jealous, even the official wizards were a little envious.
There was a huge difference between a Level-1 Wizard and a Level-2 Wizard. If they had a Level-2 Wizard to guide them, perhaps they would have achieved much more.
Heroline finally understood why she had been feeling uneasy all this time. So that was why!
There was no doubt that Angor's talent was excellent. Otherwise, why would Sunders do it before she could do it?
A genius student who was about to enter White Coral Floating Island Academy was interrupted halfway. No wonder she felt so uneasy!
Heroline's beautiful eyes were filled with struggle. She wanted to say something, but Sunders never relaxed his pressure on her. The pressure she felt was even worse than before. She could not even move her fingers.
Heroline could only pray in her mind. Don't say yes. Please don't say yes. Although she knew her prayers were useless.
The discussion only lasted for a moment. The situation on the scene did not change because of their clamor.
Angor felt that since he met that strange seabird on The Redbud, something had changed. He had been in a state of ignorance since the beginning, but he was pushed to this point by an unknown force.
He took the gold card in a daze, stepped onto the deck in a daze, was taken away by Tom Weasel in a daze, was chosen to be a Section Ephemera in a daze, and when he thought his journey of ignorance was about to end, the noble man in front of him sent him an invitation to take him in as a student.
The unknown force pushed Angor forward in an unknown direction, and the future was changing because of all kinds of unknowns.
If the idealist philosophers from Earth were to talk about this force, they might have a new name —
They would call it fate.
…
He did not know whether this mysterious fate was the cause of Angor's current situation. The only thing he knew was that he should answer now. Not to mention the man in front of him, the other supernaturals around him were staring at him like knives and spears, making him restless.
"Sir, I promised Mister Mara that I'll go to White Coral Floating Island Academy —"
"You want to save your teacher? Yes, Jon if I remember correctly? "asked Sunders.
"Yes."
"Then do you think there will be a formal wizard to teach you when you go to White Coral Floating Island Academy, and you can find a way to save your teacher within five years?"
"I … don't know. But I'll try." Angor hesitated. He heard from Mara that every apprentice who joined a wizard organization would have a formal wizard as their teacher. However, apprentices were only nominal students. What they learned depended on the wizard's mood. It was really difficult to become a formal wizard's disciple.
Heroline, on the other hand, wanted to say, "I'll teach you." However, she did not have the chance to speak. The other wizards did not want to offend Sunders either.
"Sometimes, hard work will not get you a good result. If you become my disciple, I can teach you myself. " Sunders rubbed his white gloves. "Five years later, if you don't have the power to save your teacher, I can give you a magic scroll that can freeze any living being and buy you another five years. Of course, if you still can't save him in ten years, then his death is destined. "
Angor's head snapped up when he heard Sunders' words.
Ten years.
It had been almost half a year since he left Padt Manor. He had not even reached Fey Continent yet. If he wanted to go back and save Jon, who was dying in five years, he really did not have enough time. Angor did not show it on his face, but he had been anxious in his mind for the past few months. Now that Sunders said he could give him ten years, the scale in his mind began to shift. Time was what he lacked the most.
"So? Do you have an answer? "
Sunders looked very relaxed. He did not seem to care about Angor's choice at all. However, only Flora, who knew Sunders best, knew that his eyes were filled with desperation and stubbornness. Flora even believed that if Angor refused, Sunders would probably knock him out and kidnap him.
"What kind of talent is this? Why does the professor value him so much? "Even Flora was jealous of Angor's luck.
Angor thought for a moment and looked at Mara who was not far away.
Mara did not see Angor's look, but he noticed someone else.
Heroline.
Heroline was glaring at him with a vicious look.
Mara did not understand why Heroline was so angry at him. However, when he thought about how Heroline looked at Angor with a regretful look, Mara realized something.
Obviously, Heroline was blaming him for not noticing Angor's talent in the first place. Otherwise, Sunders would not show up out of nowhere.
Mara felt wronged. When he tested Angor's talent, he did not know that Angor's talent was more than "floating". Besides, he had just become a wizard. He was too excited and careless.
However, Mara did not dare to argue with Heroline. If he really did, he would not have a place in the academy anymore.
Seeing Heroline blaming him, Mara felt a chill down his spine. He was just an apprentice. He was like an ant in front of a wizard. Even if Heroline killed him, the academy would not think much of it.
Mara thought about the unknown and dangerous future. He thought for a moment, clenched his teeth, and made a decision in his mind.
