"Have you heard? A few days ago, Training Ground had a Formal Magician who was testing magic in the Apprentice Zone domain and made a big hole in the Training Ground sky. →" Outside the library, a group of magic apprentices whispered.

"Ah? Which master's handiwork is it?" One of them, Intermediate Magic Apprentice, couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, Liner Master is also looking for the troublemaker Mage, but at that time there was only apprentice-level Mage in the training ground."

"According to some gossip, it is said that Formal Magician, who destroyed Training Ground Energy Shield, is likely to have the means to hide his aura and pretend to be an apprentice to deceive Liner Master's detection." Another female apprentice gossip added.

Saine walked outside the library, still in a trance and excitement.

His excitement has actually lasted for several days.

Next, it is necessary to regroup and make corresponding plans and arrangements for the next stage of study or research.

The low murmurs of the apprentices in front of him made Saine finally come back to his senses.

After all, the protagonist of their discussion is themselves.

Saine himself didn't pay too much attention to the experience a few days ago.

He was not caught by Formal Magician who was on duty at Training Ground. Few people would have thought that the apprentice level could cause such exaggerated magical damage.

Including the training ground area where he was at that time, although it was a separate space, but luckily, the sky of the training ground where he shot Sun's Eye belonged to a public area.

When Saine slipped away in time, even if Mage in the training ground realized it later and started screening and checking the apprentice level, Saine had already returned to the dormitory.

Ignoring the whispers and gossip of these apprentices, Saine shook his head, shook away the rest of his thoughts, and walked towards the library.

This is what makes him different from most of the Holy Tower Academy's apprentices.

These ordinary apprentices are generally interested in some of the gossip that happened in the academy recently, while people like Saine are only concerned about the progress of their own magic research and experiments.

He doesn't even understand things that have nothing to do with him.

This may be one of the reasons why Saine felt a little unsociable after coming to the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy.

However, when Saine was about to enter the library, with just a sideways glance, he actually saw Green standing in the center of the circle of apprentices with his peripheral vision.

Advanced Apprentice Green is undoubtedly one of the highest-level apprentices among these apprentices, and the location where he stands is also the core area of these apprentices.

But what was incompatible with the gossip chatter of the surrounding apprentices was that Green did not participate in their discussion, but lowered his head slightly, seeming to be deep in thought.

Green is in this state that Saine has never seen in the library. It's not too much.

This guy was actually able to immerse himself in his own world amidst the noise of discussions among the apprentices around him.

Is he probably lowering his head and contemplating his magic research?

Green's situation is not surprising to the magic apprentices around him. →

They have become accustomed to Green's personality, and most of the time, they will regard him as a transparent person.

If Green, the "nerd", had not possessed Advanced Apprentice's strength early on and was one of the three strongest in their apprentice circle, he would probably not be in the central position.

"Green, you are here."

"Are you going to do something?"

After all, he was the first friend he made after coming to the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy. When Saine saw him, he said hello and asked.

Saine's voice was not high, but because of the magic trick used by Sound Transmission Spell, Green in the crowd came to his senses immediately.

In this noisy environment, even if Green can immerse himself in learning and thinking, he will not be too deeply involved.

Therefore, Saine's greetings were not considered as disturbing him.

"Yes, we are going to carry out an academy mission." Green said to Saine.

Green's performance and Saine's approach caused the voices of the magic apprentices around him to gradually drop.

There are about ten magic apprentices in this circle, and all of them are intermediate or above. Their strength cannot be underestimated.

Facing the arrival of Saine, Green introduced to the surrounding magic apprentices, "This is a friend I met in the library. His name is Saine. He has considerable attainments in the fields of light and fire magic."

Green's introduction did not make the surrounding magic apprentices express any reaction.

Green's popularity is not much better than that of Saine.

The apprentices around him are all apprentices from the same country as Green.

And not everyone is familiar with Green. There are only three or four people who have a really good relationship with him, and they are all mid- to low-level apprentices.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Green finally added, "This Saine apprentice is already a powerful apprentice at the Quasi-Magician level."

Green's words finally moved these magic apprentices.

Quasi-Magician and Azure Source Holy Tower Academy have almost stood at the top of all apprentices.

These apprentices did not know that Saine once defeated Mark. After all, it was several years ago, and since then, Saine has never been to Challenge Stage again.

The so-called new prominence and reputation at that time were quickly overtaken by other apprentices.

It is worth mentioning that Mark has become quite famous in the academy in recent years.

Although he has always been barely hanging at the end of the top 20 of the college Combat Power Ranking, his ability to occupy the list for a long time is enough to prove that this guy has two skills.

At this time, a black-robed magic apprentice standing next to Green came out and greeted Saine outside the apprentice, "Hello, I am Hildas Goron."

The Magic Robe of this black-robed apprentice is obviously more gorgeous than the Magic Robe of the surrounding apprentices.

There is even a pattern inlaid with gold wire on it. Saine feels a touch of Element Power from it. This is a Intermediate Magic Item.

Saine If I remember correctly, the kingdom where Green was born seems to be called Goron Kingdom.

The guy in front of me should be a member of the royal family.

And he is also one of only three Advanced Apprentice among all the apprentices present.

Although he was impatient to deal with these aristocratic apprentices, for the sake of Green, Saine still nodded and replied, "Hello, I am Saine Grant."

A Quasi-Magician, whether in Holy Tower or in the secular kingdom, is worthy of Hildas Goron, a member of the royal family of such a weak kingdom, to try to win over.

If they develop normally, they are likely to use Green as a medium to form a good relationship as classmates.

Saine can get in touch with the Goron Kingdom royal family members, and Hildas can also gain the friendship of Saine.

And from a more profound perspective, Goron Kingdom has a certain interest relationship with the Grant Family, the great nobleman of the Lisia Alliance.

But unfortunately, Hildas may have this social intention, but Saine and Green have no such intention.

After briefly introducing himself to Hildas, Saine ignored Advanced Apprentice again.

Similarly, Green was not aware of the idea of introducing Saine in detail and recommending it to the Goron Kingdom's other magic apprentices.

It makes sense for these two guys to be friends.
