Ignore the ringing of the school bell in my mind.

Ailin walked into the oak forest.

The stun technique provided by the School of the Cat Two-Handed Sword is indeed reliable.

The two wizards lay sound asleep beside the thick oak tree, showing no sign of waking up.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will take at least another half hour before he wakes up.

"Shh~shh~shh~"

A series of footsteps came from behind, followed by two exclamations.

"Professor Thomas Morlu!"

"Professor Macaque!"

Thomas Maurice?

Ailin's heart skipped a beat, but he turned around without showing any emotion:

"You two know each other?"

Radek looked at Ailin with awe and nodded.

Before today, he thought wizards were the best in the world.

But after today, he deeply understood a profound truth about life—

A mage who gets right in the face with a warrior is doomed.

Thomas Morru and Macaque are both experienced male wizards. Even if they belong to the type of academy wizards who are usually immersed in experiments, they must have mastered many powerful spells.

As a result, he was completely powerless against the young witcher.

Their struggles were even less intense than those of a group of water ghosts.

When Ailin circled behind the two warlocks and effortlessly knocked them unconscious, Radek and Bogdan were truly immersed in the moment.

I have some phantom pain in my neck and the back of my head.

Swallowing hard, Radek glanced again at the black robes of stars on the ground, robes worn only by senior male wizards, and said, his throat dry:

"Professor Macaque is a master of potions and has a very good personality. He is the kind of mentor that students at Ban Ade Academy most want to follow."

"It is said that he has been trying to improve the 'Mandela Decoction' and ' Veridian Sigh ' that prevent aging, hoping to create a true elixir of immortality."

"Professor Thomas Morlu is the most outstanding wizard in the field of Genetic Mutation."

"Most of the books on mutations in the academy, especially those about... witch hunters, were written by him..."

Radek paused before he could finish speaking.

He glanced at Vesemir and Ailin, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued:

"It is said that Professor Thomas Morlu harbors a deep hatred for witchers because of his child."

"They frequently exaggerate the threat and evil of witchers within the academy, and there are rumors that..."

"That book that denigrates Witchers, 'Freaks, or Descriptions of Witchers,' was written by Professor Thomas Morlu."

"I've heard of that too," Bogdan added. "I even attended Professor Thomas Morlu's lecture on the anatomy of the Witcher."

"During that lecture, he did indeed show great hatred for witchers..."

Radek and Bogdan were very open and honest with each other.

As notorious underachievers in the college and having suffered a lot of discrimination, they didn't have much affection for Ben Ade.

Along the way, they received a lot of care from the two witchers, so naturally they had no intention of hiding anything.

Besides.

When those four monsters attacked, they clearly didn't care whether they lived or died.

Why should they presume to worry about two unfamiliar male witches?

Therefore, the Witcher doesn't need to ask any more questions.

They revealed everything they knew without reservation.

Thomas Maurice...

It really is the father of the Witcher who invented the Second Mutation...

Ailin glanced at the wizard lying on the ground with surprise.

Both their experience and image are relevant.

No wonder these glasses looked so familiar...

It's just a method of Second Mutation...

Has it been created yet?

Ailin was lost in thought for a few seconds.

So these Ban Ade warlocks are really after the Witcher?

He instinctively turned his head, and his eyes met Vesemir's.

The two witchers shared the same confusion and bewilderment.

They were not puzzled as to why these Ban Ad were hostile to them.

It's just that this battle was too easy!

Vesemir is Witcher Master, but that's another story.

Although Ailin concealed some of his abilities during the Apprentice Combat Tournament, he still revealed his master-level strength.

Ban Ade Academy sent these two wizards to deal with them.

Are you sure you're not just delivering food?

If they had truly discovered the truth about the Conjunction of the Spheres, why would they have sent only these two weaklings to deal with them?

Vesemir stroked his beard and looked up at the sky.

The sun is setting.

The sky was gradually darkening.

This place is not far from Fujian, at most an hour's drive away.

However, bringing these two male witches into the city will definitely cause problems.

"Let's set up camp. We'll spend the night outside and go into town tomorrow."

Vesemir gave instructions to Radek and Bogdan.

The two Sorcerer Apprentice, knowing the gravity of the situation, nodded and walked toward the horses.

Except for Radek's horse, which was killed by the White Widow, the other horses didn't go far and were all found after the battle.

Turning his gaze away from behind the two Radek and Bogdan, Vesemir turned to look at Ailin and said softly:

"Ailin, what are you thinking?"

Could they have come for "that matter"?

Upon hearing this, Ailin glanced at the two male wizards on the ground, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head:

"There are some contradictions, but I don't think it's..."

Recalling the different reactions between the two before the wizard was knocked unconscious, Ailin paused and suggested:

"We can't guess the outcome from here either..."

"Let's wake up that guy named Macaque first; I think he'll be easier to talk to..."

Macaque had a dream.

No earthquake occurred in my dream.

He successfully concocted "Macaque's Elixir of Immortality," which was named after himself.

He surpassed the legendary mage Otolan and became the greatest potion master of all time.

His apprentice is still alive, grown up, and has inherited his mantle, dressed in a black star-studded suit.

Then he took in a whole bunch of disciples and followers.

Independent of Ban Ad, he established a Potions Academy in Kaer Morhen.

After his death, the Macaque Academy on the On the Blue Mountains passed down all his magic and potion-making skills...

Etc!

Why Kaer Morhen?

Isn't that the Witcher's territory?

Wrong!

I feel like I've forgotten something?

The Witcher...

The Witcher?

The Witcher!

I remember now!

That witcher with the beautiful blue eyes!!!

"Hiss~"

A sudden, sharp pain shot through his philtrum.

They pulled Macaque to the surface.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and met a pair of familiar Cat Eyes.

"Ah!!!"

"The blue-eyed witcher!!!"

The scream startled all three people.

Even Bogdan and Radek, who were setting up tents a few dozen meters away, couldn't help but look towards the oak forest.

Ailin looked completely bewildered and suddenly stood up.

A blue-eyed witcher?

Are you talking about him?

Looking at the male wizard on the ground, who was constantly moving like a caterpillar, Ailin was somewhat at a loss.

Why such a strong reaction?

I just knocked you out, I didn't do anything else!

Vesemir was also startled by the scream, but then he stepped forward and asked sternly:

"Speak! Why did you track and attack us?"

Upon hearing Vesemir's stern shout, Macaque trembled, and his bewildered eyes cleared instantly.

Panic then descended once more.

He remembered what had happened to him.

He was captured by two witchers!

After some emotional reassurance and intimidation.

About four or five minutes later.

"... So you actually came here for Bogdan and Radek?"

Ailin and Vesemir exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with amusement.

"Yes, Dean Hen Gedimidis suspects that outsiders have used the apprentices' combat competition to orchestrate this Conjunction of the Spheres."

"So let's bring back all the wizards who have left Ban Ade without permission."

Macaque watched Vesemir and Ailin cautiously.

Especially Ailin with blue eyes.

It's been decades since I've experienced combat...

Wrong!

He was an academy wizard, and he had never fought before!

The pair of piercing blue eyes that were so close to him before he lost consciousness terrified him.

For the first time, Macaque felt what killing intent was!

So now he's very honest and answers whatever he's asked.

He's just an ordinary professor at the college; why should he risk his life for Ben Ade for that little bit of research funding?

Thinking about funding and research, Macaque sighed deeply in his heart.

I've been having absolutely the worst luck lately.

The experiment failed, and the apprentice died...

They also encountered Thomas Maul, a madman who had no self-awareness!

Damn Thomas Maurice!

What's the child's nickname?

The Blue Death is a perfect fit for this murderous little Witcher.

He almost met his true death because of Thomas Maul's overconfidence.

Growing increasingly angry, Macaque, without waiting for Vesemir and Ailin to ask, glared fiercely at his still-sleeping companion and said:

"It's all Thomas Moru's fault; he insisted on attacking you."

"Let me tell you, this guy is a psychopath. He was rescued from danger and is now using the child as a reward for his help..."

"And then they went after that savior again..."

"You ungrateful wretch!"

"The Accident Law is the fundamental law governing the world. How could a wizard not even know this?"

"And... he himself doesn't really love his child..."

"Instead of trying to get the child back on the spot, more than ten years later, when he realized he was no longer able to have children, he finally remembered his offspring with the Kaer Seren..."

"Absolutely outrageous!"

"And there's more..."

"I heard from a rumor that..."

"His remarkable achievements in Genetic Mutation are thanks to his children..."

"He killed and dissected his own offspring to make so many discoveries..."

Macaque's mouth went on and on, like a rapid-fire bullet.

The two witchers couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Amidst the sorcerer's flying spittle, Vesemir and Ailin exchanged bewildered glances, somewhat speechless.

Fortunately, they learned everything they needed to know from Macaque.

This pursuit and attack was not because Ben Ade discovered the truth about the Conjunction of the Spheres.

It was just a madman's personal revenge.

This relieved both Ailin and Vesemir.

Is what Macaque said true?

Leaving aside the lineup that Ben Ade fielded...

Ailin glanced at Macaque, who was supporting his body only on his legs and was "excitedly" swaying his body while complaining about his colleague.

If this is also a pretense, then he'll accept it.

that's all.

Having already learned enough, Ailin was about to interrupt Macaque was getting more and more excited as he complained.

At this moment.

Thomas Maurice suddenly woke up.

However, he didn't say anything. After looking around and figuring out his current situation...

There was no struggle, no begging, no cursing...

He lay on the ground, coldly watching Vesemir and Ailin, listening to the slander from his colleagues.

The eyes behind the cold, crystal lenses were bloodshot.

The calm masked the deepest madness.

Macaque continued his scathing rebuke for a while longer.

He then realized that the two witchers in front of him were not focusing their gazes on him.

then.

Macaque slowly fell silent and looked in the direction the Witcher was looking.

moment.

The white-haired wizard froze.

He saw a pair of glasses staring coldly at him.

then.

After a dry laugh, Macaque, his face stiff, slowly turned around, dragging his limp arms, in the Witcher's gaze.

He lay curled up on his side on the ground, no longer speaking.

This awkwardness was so contagious that even Ailin and Vesemir were affected.

In a short time.

The entire oak grove was quiet.

Only in the distance could one hear Radek and Bogdan lighting a campfire, their voices echoing "Bibo Bibo".

"Kill me, Witcher!" Thomas Morlu suddenly said. "Otherwise, I will hunt you down and never let you have a moment's peace."

"Believe me, I have figured out your background."

"If you let me go, one day you will all die by my hand!"

After hearing Thomas Morlu's threat, or rather, his declaration of wanting to die, Ailin realized what was going on.

This madman is serious!

"You...you mustn't listen to him. After you release us, I will definitely ask the academy...no...I will personally ask Dean Henry Gedmiddis..."

"We must keep a close eye on him!"

At this point, Macaque forgot all about being embarrassed and jumped up from the ground in fright, as if his tail had been stepped on.

Damn it!

If the Witcher kills Thomas Morru, do you think he'll let me leave alone?

That damn lunatic!

Brute!

Although he was inwardly cursing his companion's immediate family, on the surface, Macaque was still defending Thomas Moru.

Some say he's crazy, others say he didn't do it on purpose...

Vesemir and Ailin were also troubled at this moment, wondering how to deal with the two male wizards.

Releasing them is definitely out of the question.

Thomas Morlu was serious, so serious that the two witchers had no intention of trying to persuade him.

But kill them all?

Ailin sighed.

Even ignoring the witnesses Radek and Bogdan, let's say he killed all four of them.

With Ben Ade's abilities, he has plenty of ways to uncover the truth.

Furthermore...

Even if Ailin had this idea, Vesemir couldn't just stand by and watch him kill the other three innocent wizards.

and...

Even Ailin herself wouldn't do that.

The more your enemy wants you to do something, the less you should do it.

Could it be that Thomas Maul was really just seeking death?

Why not just find a big tree and run into it to die? Why bother using a witcher?

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Thomas Maurice suddenly burst into manic laughter:

What are you hesitating about?

"Do you think that if you don't kill me, Ban Ad won't become an enemy of Kaer Morhen?"

Vesemir and Ailin's expressions didn't change in the slightest.

Until they heard the next sentence...

"When the heavy snow falls on the Ancient Sea Fortress this year, it will be the day the School of the Wolf is destroyed..."

"No..."

"It's not just the School of the Wolf; cats, griffins, bears..."

"All Witchers must die!"

"All witchers must die!"

Hahahahahaha!!!
