Return

At the headquarters of the Transmutation School, in a conference room, the door was tightly closed, and a tense atmosphere permeated the room.

Lucy sat in the chair, looking at Luosiqi who was standing.

Luosiqi was somewhat confused as to why Lucy had called him to this room and then just made him stand there without doing anything.

He estimated that five minutes had passed since he entered the room, but Lucy still hadn't spoken.

His once outstretched hand curled up instead of clenching into a fist, as if he was suppressing his agitation.

But this repression had its limits. Just as he was about to speak, Lucy spoke first:

"Luosiqi, how long has the position of the main person in charge of the Transmutation School in City of Apprentices been vacant?"

Luosiqi's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to have heard something terrible.

Starting with this question gave him a premonition that he would take over the position.

"It's been over a month now; I've been handling all the School's affairs on their behalf these past few days."

He smoothed the wrinkles in his robe, suppressing the sudden surge of excitement within him.

Lucy placed her hand on the armrest without moving, and slowly began to speak:

"In that case, you should take over this position."

This sudden surprise hit Luosiqi so hard that he was a little dizzy and his speech became somewhat incoherent.

"Ah... thank you... thank you, sir."

He never imagined he would get this position so easily; he thought he would have to endure another five years.

Long before he was promoted to Formal Mage, after seeing the spell explanations that the School had prepared specifically for Formal Mage, he knew that his path as a mage might be coming to an end.

His magical Talent was also extremely poor; after joining the School, his magical level was only in the middle to lower range among the apprentices.

However, he chose a good time to join the Transmutation School.

At that time, the Transmutation School had only just established itself in the City of Apprentices; there were hardly any apprentices, let alone teachers.

At that time, due to his low level of magical skill, he could only choose to join the Transmutation School.

After he joined, the Transmutation School was suddenly given a Second Order Mage as its leader, who began to revitalize the School. Since then, the Transmutation School has become the dominant force in Loderis.

He benefited from the person in charge's favor; he received a potion that emitted a green glow, as the person in charge told him.

"Drink this, and you will become Formal Mage."

At that time, he had actually given up on the idea of becoming Formal Mage, because he had repeatedly failed the assessments and had not even come close to getting a ranking.

But looking into the eyes of the person in charge, he knew he had no choice but to drink it, and after drinking it, he fell into a coma.

When he woke up a month later, he was surprised to find that his Mental Power had increased dramatically, and he could cast spells without any hindrance.

After that incident, the person in charge left the City of Apprentices, and Belori was transferred from another location.

It is unclear what the person in charge said to Belori, but he was subsequently assigned to some administrative work within the School.

This made him extremely happy at the time, because the management of the School also required selecting people; if you didn't have a letter of recommendation, you couldn't even think about working in the School.

He also knew that Belori would probably be transferred soon, and it would be his turn to take over as the head of the Transmutation School, but he never expected it to happen so quickly.

"But..." Lucy's tone turned serious, and then she continued:

"I hope you won't cause any more trouble in the future. I'll let bygones be bygones regarding what happened before."

Luosiqi was startled and quickly asked:

"The higher-ups of the School..."

"Don't worry, the Alliance has so many records, those people won't go through every single Profile."

"And now, the most important thing is you. As long as nothing else goes wrong, it will be good for both of us."

Luosiqi felt like he had stumbled upon all sorts of good things. In fact, he had long wanted to keep it a secret. Even if he resolved the situation, what good would it do him? If he didn't resolve it, he would get into trouble.

So he kept thinking that he should avoid reporting it if possible, but unfortunately, Belori didn't understand, and he dared not not report what happened later.

Not reporting earlier incidents might only result in a small fine, but reporting later ones could cost you your head. Only those with higher status can choose whether or not to report.

Now, not only has this matter been resolved, but he has also secured a key position. It's hard not to be overjoyed.

"As long as that Attackers disappears from now on, you can remain the main person in charge."

Lucy emphasized, while Luosiqi found it strange; what did the Attackers have to do with him, and how was he involved...?

"Master, there is a Formal Mage outside who wants to see you."

A rapid knocking sound came from outside the door, interrupting Luosiqi's thoughts.

Lucy glanced at Luosiqi, then canceled the soundproofing spell and opened the door.

"Bring that Formal Mage here."

After a while, Celine came over, smiling broadly, and said to the two of them:

"Greetings, both of you. I am Celine First Order Mage from the Law School."

"The Law School? Don't I remember they're no longer in the City of Apprentices?"

Lucy said without any politeness.

"That's all in the past. Aren't I currently working to bring the Law School back to Loderis?"

As she spoke, Celine pulled out a large stack of papers and said:

"Here you are, a letter of opinion from various School agreeing to the return of the Law School. We hope you will support it."

Why should we sign this?

Luosiqi looked puzzled, not understanding Celine's behavior. "You want me to sign when you come back, but you didn't even communicate with me before asking for my signature. You're not taking me seriously at all."

Lucy, however, kept her eyes fixed on Celine without blinking.

"So, are you going to sign or not? If you don't sign soon, I'm going to go find the Necromancy School. I think the School would pity the plight of us lower-level School."

Celine said somewhat impatiently.

"Okay, bring the things over, we'll sign."

Lucy, her face ashen, interrupted Luosiqi, who was about to speak, and took a large stack of documents, placing them on the table.

Luosiqi may not know that the Law School has already made contact with a Fourth Order Mage. Although the Fourth Order is a bit far from those of them who are first or second tier, the fact remains that the Fourth Order Mage is currently in the City of Apprentices.

Although refusing to sign might not necessarily lead to any action from that Fourth Order Mage- Fourth Order Mage, it would still be disrespectful to him.

Furthermore, this incident gave Lucy a lot of room to maneuver. She could attribute it to the strong pressure from that Fourth Order Mage, exaggerate the return of the Law School, and summarize Belori's disappearance as "the School's operation encountered some problems."
