"Karl Hepburn!"
Walking out of the lab, Fang Xian muttered the name he got from Herman.
"I have to say that there are too many students in the Mystery Academy. Daniel and Herman are not friends. When he was in a hurry to advance, he didn't even ask for help …
"Of course, even if I asked for help, Herman might not do anything. I only got this name because I advanced to the second-tier …
"Other than that, at least my graduation application can go through the normal process … Daniel's enemies are far from interfering with the operation of the Mystery Academy …
"Actually … I'm not Daniel. He's so anxious about this graduation certificate, but I don't need it!"
What did a graduation certificate of the Mystery Academy represent?
As long as a student successfully graduated, they were all at least second-tier Extraordinaires. Basically, they would be hired by the kingdom with a monthly salary of more than 10 gold coins.
If they were in the public, or if they were loyal to other organizations or forces, the salary would be even higher.
More importantly, it could be used all over the world!
Daniel's six years of hard work and hope were all on that piece of paper. It had almost become an obsession.
"Forget it … I should at least show others that I value that piece of paper. Maybe there will be some unexpected effects …"
"Karl Hepburn … They're both students of the Mystery Academy, but we don't have much interaction, no feud, and no love triangle … What's going on?"
Fang Xian found it strange. With Daniel's simple life, he was not someone who liked to cause trouble everywhere.
"Either Daniel offended him unintentionally, or he blocked his path?
"If none of these are the reasons … then it's from his family?
"Maybe … I should go back and take a look."
…
While thinking, Fang Xian left the academy.
Yes, there were special dormitories in the Mystery Academy, and it was said that there was a solidification ritual set up, which was very beneficial for mages' meditation.
But … Daniel could not afford it.
Strapped for money, he could only rent a cheap apartment near the dock area. Occasionally, he had to work part-time to study.
Otherwise, he would not have to shoulder the debt and use the Three Nothing Ritual to advance, which eventually cost him his life.
Walking slowly on the street, Fang Xian, who was thinking about the next step, suddenly stopped and touched his forehead.
His [Danger Premonition] sensed a little danger. Of course, it was just a little.
Fang Xian continued walking until he arrived at a department store. He pushed open the glass door and walked in.
"Sir, please have a look at our new Beard Teacups …"
The salesgirl showed a bright smile and showed him a ceramic cup. "This is a mysterious craft from the Land of Sunrise. It's designed to protect your beard …"
"Sorry … I don't have a beard!"
Fang Xian touched his chin and thought of this era. Those upper-class gentlemen seemed to be proud of having a nice mustache, and they even put hair gel on it.
In order to protect the beard and hair gel, he had specially invented this cup. He had really put a lot of thought into it.
"More importantly, my clothes are cleaner than my face!"
Fang Xian complained to himself. As the salesperson's smile became a little stiff, he looked at the glass and saw the reflection of the street behind him.
Two guys in brown linen shirts were sneaking around and seemed to be following him.
'Gangsters?'
He walked out of the store and turned into a more secluded alley.
Not long after he entered, two burly men followed him. They looked at each other and walked into the alley.
Their footsteps became faster and faster. After turning a corner, they found that there was no one in front of them.
"Lost him?"
One of the men cursed. "This kid can really run!"
"He is, after all, a student of the Mystery Academy … Yade, be careful," the other man reminded him.
In truth, the [Despicable Pottery] of the first tier could only be considered half a Transcendent. Although it had a trace of mysterious power, it was very difficult to use it in actual combat.
Without special tools or abilities, it was not inconceivable for an ordinary person to be killed by a machete or flintlock.
Thus, some gangs were not afraid of a mere first tier Transcendent.
They were even more fearful of the identity of a student of the Mystery Academy.
"Don't worry!"
Yade reached his hand into his pocket. "Don't forget, I am the organization's executioner!"
"You guys … are you looking for me?"
At this time, a translucent silhouette suddenly appeared in the air before them. Like a chameleon, the silhouette gradually turned into the appearance of a young man with maroon curly hair and brown pupils. This was their mission target.
"Daniel Roland!"
Yade shouted out the name of the person who had arrived.
"Very good, looks like you did not get the wrong person …"
Fang Xian cracked his knuckles. "Tell me which gang you belong to, who hired you … Is it Karl Hepburn?"
"We don't know what you are talking about, but kid, you have pissed me off."
Yade smiled viciously and suddenly pulled out a dagger.
With the dagger in hand, he pounced at Fang Xian. The angle of his attack was very tricky. Clearly, he had undergone strict training and was very experienced in combat.
The next moment, Yade saw Daniel, who was opposite him, reach out his hand to grab the dagger.
"He doesn't want his hand anymore?"
Yade had no doubt that with the sharpness of his sharpened dagger and the power attached to it, this little guy's finger would be instantly cut off.
"He's just an apprentice, and yet he dares to expose himself … Although mysterious people are strong, they are not without weaknesses …"
Just as Yade's thoughts were running wild, he suddenly felt as if the dagger had been clamped by a pair of iron pincers, and it could no longer move forward.
He widened his eyes and saw that the young man's hand was glowing with a metallic luster as he grabbed the dagger.
"Hmm … Ordinary first-tier Extraordinaires might be killed by ordinary people, but second-tier Extraordinaires can probably easily kill a group of ordinary people if they are well-prepared …"
"My combat ability is far above that of ordinary [Ancient Bronze] … Maybe I can compete with [Quenching Black Iron] …"
[Body of Steel] gave me a strong defense, and [Constitution Strengthening] increased my strength, speed, and recovery … With such talent, it would be a pity for me to not climb the Warrior's Tower … "
Fang Xian silently experimented. The next moment, he grabbed Yade's wrist with his right hand and exerted a little force.
"Crack!"
The ear-piercing sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Yade's tears and snot flowed down his face as he knelt on the ground.
His hand had been broken by Fang Xian.
After taking care of this, Fang Xian turned around and looked at Yade's accomplice.
"I surrender!"
The burly man raised his hands high in the air. "We are from the White Wolf Gang, and our boss is Fells. As for where he got the mission from, I don't know …"
