Having passed the assessment.
Kieran said calmly, "The assessment isn't over yet. I'll have a servant take you to the Castle on the other side first. I'll come over shortly."
"Alright, Teacher."
Ian nodded.
A few dozen seconds later, a servant hurried inside.
"Lord Kieran."
The servant was extremely respectful, though he also cast Ian a strange look, seemingly puzzled as to why he had been summoned.
Kieran said, "Take Ian to Castle Number Three."
The servant's eyes instantly widened.
Because Castle Number Three housed all the students selected by Kieran's group—didn't that mean Ian...
His heart immediately began racing, cold sweat breaking out across his body.
"Did something happen between you two?"
"Did you break the rules again? If so, I can send you straight to the battlefield."
Kieran seemed to notice something unusual and asked.
Ian was stunned as well.
The Elemental Mysteries Academy was powerful, but that did not mean it had no wars. On the contrary, it was at war with several nearby forces.
But being sent to the battlefield was extremely dangerous for a servant.
Ian had not expected Audrey to be telling the truth.
As long as one was valued by her, they could receive quite a few preferential treatments...
Ian looked at the servant.
He had not expected their positions to change so quickly. It was truly interesting.
The servant's face immediately turned pale. He knew full well what being sent to the battlefield meant, and he instantly wore a pleading expression.
Ian had no interest in tormenting a servant.
He shook his head. "It's nothing."
"Fine him one month's worth of Magic Stones."
Since Ian had said so, Kieran lessened the punishment and had the servant lead Ian to the Castle.
The servant immediately let out a breath of relief.
Thank goodness...
