Cousin Serena

Saine arrived outside the Holy Tower Academy with a hint of anger at his experiment being interrupted. →

Surprisingly, the Mage Irene, who was the one who interrupted Saine's experiment, also looked angry at this moment.

"What's going on? You didn't reply to my messages the last few times!"

"I was forced to use my authority as an academy instructor to forcibly activate your Crystal Ball in order to contact you." The Mage Irene stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Saine had emerged from the depths of the academy.

The Formal Magician Irene had been here for half a day, which meant she had been waiting for Saine for almost the entire morning.

"Hmm... I'm conducting a magical experiment," Saine replied after a brief pause.

"Did you block your Crystal Ball?" Irene asked.

"Hmm..." Saine nodded.

Irene, the Mage, couldn't help but roll her eyes at this.

In fact, Saine had already modified his Crystal Ball, and his Azure Source Holy Tower Badge was also modified and studied at the same time.

This is probably just a professional habit of alchemists.

Although there are hardly any people who contact or call Saine normally, Saine also hates being suddenly disturbed by external messages during his experiments or studies.

Long before initiating the research experiment on modifying the Sun's Eye, Saine had already put his Crystal Ball into a silent state.

Even after all this, the Mage Irene was still able to forcibly activate Saine's Crystal Ball using the internal authority of the academy's instructors. →

Indeed, this Crystal Ball was given to him by the academy when he enrolled.

Compared to the low-grade Crystal Ball that his senior brother Zorro made for him back then, the Crystal Ball issued by the Holy Tower Academy in front of him is of a higher grade and has more complete functions.

Over the years, Saine has gradually gotten used to using the Crystal Ball that the Holy Tower gave him.

After all, it was a tool made by the Holy Tower and distributed to the apprentices. Even though the Crystal Ball had undergone initial modifications by Saine, there should still be some settings at a deeper level that he had not yet explored.

He secretly made up his mind that when he returned this time, he would completely disassemble that Crystal Ball and reassemble it.

Saine didn't want to be interrupted again when he was conducting his experiments someday.

Saine's ability to shield himself from his Crystal Ball was slightly surprising.

However, the Mage Irene immediately brought up the real matter.

She's been quite busy lately, and she's not Formal Magician on duty outside the Holy Tower Academy.

Today, a Intermediate Apprentice came to the outside of the Holy Tower Academy, claiming to be Saine's Cousin Serena.

The Mage on duty were originally supposed to send a message directly to Saine.

However, Saine was in the midst of an experiment at the time, and even the Crystal Ball was blocked, so naturally he could not receive any messages.

Unable to contact Saine after several attempts, the Formal Magician learned through internal academy information that it was Irene who had processed Saine's enrollment. →

They assumed that Irene was the Mage who had introduced them to Saine, so they summoned the Mage Irene again.

No wonder the Mage Irene looked annoyed when she saw Saine appear.

Because this matter had nothing to do with her in the first place!

"Is this your Cousin Serena?!" Mage Irene turned around and pointed, asking the Green Hair female apprentice behind her who was about 1.6 meters tall.

Only then did Saine notice that there was another person behind the Mage Irene.

The intermediate-level female apprentice in front of me should be around twenty years old.

Besides her long, green, curly hair, she was also wearing a black and white short skirt favored by aristocratic ladies.

However, the female apprentice was wearing a brown cloak.

Judging from her travel-worn appearance, it seemed she had just come from a great distance to the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Saine had never met his Cousin Serena before, and he didn't even have a picture of Cousin Serena.

Even Serena had never met Saine; she only knew Saine general appearance through descriptions from her family elders.

Blonde hair, blue-black eyes, very tall, and with a rather aloof demeanor—that's all.

Therefore, when the Green Hair apprentice appeared, both Saine and the other party were briefly stunned.

Fortunately, Saine also possessed the Bloodline Tracing Magic taught by his mentor, Moxidu. Serena was related to Saine by blood; her Mother and Saine's Mother were sisters.

Bloodline Tracing Magic does produce a certain reaction.

Even Serena, who was somewhat stunned, quickly realized that she had a token in her hand.

In addition to the Ferrell Family Crest and a handwritten letter from Earl Grant, Serena also brought her grandfather's walking stick.

This cane is Serena's closest possession right now, because holding it makes her feel as if her grandfather is still by her side.

It was also upon seeing that cane that Saine's anger at having his experiment interrupted dissipated.

Instead, there is a faint sadness and memories.

"It seems that's the right way. I'm off then!" The Mage Irene shook her head and was about to leave.

But before she could take a step, Saine called her back.

"Master, please wait. I have something I need to trouble you with," Saine said hurriedly.

"What is it?" Irene asked, somewhat speechless.

"Um, Master, could you please introduce her to the Holy Tower Academy as well?" Saine asked, pointing to Serena in front of him.

At this moment, Serena's face was filled with a mix of emotions, including joy, anticipation, trepidation, and excitement.

Actually, she is a girl who is very sensitive about her image and is not very good at negotiating with people.

Within the family, apart from his maternal grandfather, even other family members rarely spoke up.

Serena herself wasn't very confident about coming to see Saine, having been encouraged by her family elders.

She was too embarrassed to even ask her cousin to bring her into the Holy Tower Academy as well.

Unexpectedly, before she even had to ask, Saine brought up the matter directly and even asked a Formal Magician for help.

A look of gratitude flashed across Saine's eyes, while Serena nervously watched the Mage Irene, fearing that this Formal Magician would shake her head and refuse.

Irene, Formal Magician, was actually quite easy to talk to, and she also knew that Saine had a relationship with Johnny, the Grade Director.

With a sigh, the Mage Irene gritted her teeth and said fiercely to Saine, "All you do is cause me trouble. Come with me!"

After saying that, the Mage Irene took the lead and walked into the Holy Tower Academy.

Saine followed.

Only Serena seems to have stayed indoors for far too long.

After standing there stunned for a while, until Saine and the others had gone some distance, they belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly ran after them.

Entering the academy from the outer perimeter of the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, the route still follows that emerald green seaside plant passage.

The extraordinary scenery before her eyes filled Serena with amazement and curiosity.

Even the towering, emerald-green Holy Tower in the center of the Holy Tower Academy filled her with reverence and longing.

In fact, Serena and Saine have some similarities.

For example, although their pupil colors are different, their eye shapes are very similar, and their skin is also very fair.
