"The Regional Holy Tower Academy War is about to begin, what on earth are you up to, you brat?" Director Johnny asked.

"Huh? It's about to start?" Saine, looking a bit disheveled, asked in surprise.

Saine's performance was giving Director Johnny a headache.

However, Johnny was no longer as angry as he had been at the beginning.

For some reason, Johnny saw a glimpse of his former self in Saine.

They had been working tirelessly for years on a magical experiment.

However, that happened after Johnny became Formal Magician Mage. It's rare to see someone like Saine, who got himself into such a sorry state during his apprenticeship.

It wasn't just Johnny; in fact, most Mage of level one or higher in the Wizard World had experienced what Saine had gone through.

Those Spellcaster can advance to the next level or higher have all explored the Truth Arcana and the elements of magic, gaining their own understanding and insights.

Furthermore, the greatly extended lifespan after advancing one level allows these Spellcaster to have more energy and time to explore the Truth Dao.

It's not a big deal to dedicate a few years to research in a particular field.

The longest experiment Johnny the Mage himself underwent lasted 56 years.

It was after that research that Johnny found the Elemental True Body Arcane Truth that suited him, and used it to advance to level two.

"You're already Quasi-Magician?" Johnny asked suddenly after scrutinizing Saine for a while.

"Ah? Yes, yes." Saine nodded.

At this moment, Saine's mind was mostly on the Sun's Eye Mask and the upcoming Regional Holy Tower Academy War, so he was somewhat distracted by Johnny 'Mage questions.

Johnny glared at the still-distracted guy and said, "Don't you dare miss tomorrow's Pre-War Mobilization Training!"

"Also, try your best to get a good ranking this time, don't fall in the Academy War, understand?"

Johnny the Mage originally wanted to slap Saine to bring him to his senses.

But seeing that Saine was completely blackened by the explosion, the Mage Johnny reluctantly stopped.

Faced with Johnny the Mage's request, Saine quickly agreed.

Although after entering the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, Saine had very little interaction with this Second-Level Magician.

But it's clear that the Grade Director still cares about Saine.

.

After confirming that Saine was unharmed, the Mage Johnny quickly left Saine's residence.

The two Formal Magician who arrived with him also left shortly afterward.

Before leaving, the Mage Irene made a teasing face at Saine.

I wonder if they were amused by Saine's disheveled appearance at that moment.

After watching Johnny the Mage and the others leave, Saine turned to look at his house, which was now smoking from the explosion.

This is the umpteenth time the laboratory has exploded since Saine arrived at the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy.

Because unlike in Grant Territory, there weren't as many servants and attendants to help.

So, faced with a house filled with smoke and debris, Saine had no choice but to clean it up himself.

Fortunately, there was Serena nearby who could lend a hand. With the power of magic, cleaning up a house wouldn't take too long.

Upon returning to the laboratory, Saine did not immediately begin cleaning up the surroundings, but instead headed straight for the alchemy table.

The violent explosion destroyed most of the items in the Saine Laboratory, but the sturdy alchemy table was not greatly affected.

However, many of the instruments on the alchemy table were destroyed in the explosion, but a golden light stood out conspicuously in the dark laboratory.

This is a mask with a pale gold finish and some Fire Element patterns around its edges, giving it a noble and somewhat mysterious feel.

Six clear Light Element crystals are inlaid in the center and on both sides of the mask, resembling six strange eyes from a distance.

This is the top-tier Magic Conductor that Saine spent three years painstakingly creating.

Upon actual testing, this Magic Conductor has surpassed the apprentice level and reached the standard of a formal Magic Conductor.

For Saine, who was still just a magic apprentice, this was nothing short of a miracle.

"Regional Holy Tower Academy War?" Saine rubbed the golden mask, lost in thought.

The next day, after tidying himself up, Saine arrived on time at the central Teaching Building hall of the Holy Tower Academy.

When he arrived at the classroom, it was already quite full.

All the apprentices who appeared in the classroom were advanced apprentices or above. At a glance, Saine estimated there were more than a hundred of them, which was already a considerable number.

At least Saine had never seen so many advanced apprentices in one room.

Saine even saw Mark, with whom he had a past conflict.

After several years, Mark is still at the Advanced Apprentice level.

It's also worth mentioning that Mark was removed from the top twenty of the academy's Combat Power Ranking a year ago.

As the Regional Holy Tower Academy War draws ever closer, veteran apprentices and powerful individuals within the Azure Source Holy Tower are emerging one after another.

Currently, all of the top twenty fighters on the Holy Tower Academy's Combat Power Ranking are Quasi-Magician.

In the classroom, Saine also saw many old men who were clearly not young, and the aura of these old men was almost at the level of Quasi-Magician.

Regardless of their achievements in the field of magical exploration, their age alone indicates that they must have pushed their Mental Strength and Magic Power abilities to their limits.

And don't underestimate these old men; many of them participated in the previous Regional Holy Tower Academy War...

"Alright, let's continue with the details of the Regional Holy Tower Academy War today."

"And all the things you need to pay attention to after you enter the Trial Space," a Formal Magician said from the podium.

Saine had long been curious about the Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

As this Formal Magician introduced the situation, the face of the Holy Tower Academy War gradually came into view of Saine.

The so-called Regional Holy Tower Academy War is actually an apprentice trial held periodically by several adjacent Holy Tower within the same region of the Wizard World.

This is a grand event for selecting outstanding talents for the Wizard World.

On a smaller scale, it may only represent the honor or disgrace of a few individual Holy Tower, and the situation of apprenticeship teaching in recent years.

On a grand scale, this is a long-term plan for the Wizard World, the very foundation of civilization.

Few people bother to trace the exact number of years the Regional Holy Tower Academy War have existed in the Wizard World.

However, in order to ensure that the powerful members of the Wizard Civilization would not be killed by ignorant and weak Alien Plane creatures in the Plane War,...

This kind of training exercise within a civilized society is very necessary.

Indeed, the Regional Holy Tower Academy War can also be seen as an internal training exercise for the Wizard World.

Along with the "Kingdom War Plan" applicable to the Knight class, it is considered one of the two important training strategies for Knight Attendant and magic apprentices below the first rank in the Wizard World.
