CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 253: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD OF ILLUSION TECHNIQUE?

Lindong never imagined that one day she would get up early to seriously prepare gifts for the academy professors, placing snow cherries formed by magic power into a fruit basket, humming a little tune.

A bit worried, but more than that, she was expectant.

The academy carried her past, and now it was the day to go home with her lover.

Compared to the joyful atmosphere between Lindong and Ethan, many professors in the academy had not slept all night. Lindong’s return made them realize a serious problem - could the headmaster be planning to pass the title of Hermit to Lindong again?

Anyone with eyes could see the headmaster’s intention.

This elder, as an Elemental Shaper, had nearly achieved all he could. Over the years, tactfully maneuvering had kept the academy out of the many disputes of the Empire. If there was one regret, it was that he had still not managed to help Elemental Shapers take another step forward.

Lindong was a child they had watched grow up; they knew Lindong’s character too well.

Don’t be fooled by her high-cold-flower demeanor when she’s quiet. If you really passed the headmaster position to her, she’d tear down the roof the next day.

But on the other hand, they were in the same situation as the mages, unable to ascend to Saint’s status through traditional methods for several generations now. As for Lindong, she was completely an anomaly; her summarized theory wasn’t universal at all.

The professors knew this was also why the headmaster placed such importance on the Astrology Guild envoy. Rumor had it that there was turmoil in the Mage Tower recently, the former Scholar had been murdered, and the new leader taking over the Scholar’s title not only executed the murderer but also ascended to Saint.

Rationally, the professors understood the importance of strengthening communication, but it was hard to get over the psychological barrier.

"Alas!"

As the morning sun shone into the office, Director Wabul sighed deeply.

The cup held the second cup of tea for refreshing himself. Last night he had not slept at all. After Ethan and others left with the headmaster, he convened an emergency meeting with the other professors of the academy. At this point, the "Anti-Lindong Alliance" needed to reappear.

After Lindong left for many years, the alliance had a new name - the Bright Society.

Wabul was the founder of the Bright Society and the current leader of the organization. After Lindong’s disappearance, the main activities of the Bright Society shifted to traveling among various civilizations, seeking and summarizing knowledge related to mysticism, but the members of the society would never forget their original intention, which was to contend with the "Black Demon King".

To prevent exam questions from leaking, to not eat snot-flavored candy in the soup while eating, to not suddenly be drenched with cold water while bathing, for the fairness and order of the academy...

Thinking of this, Director Wabul’s gaze was gloomy yet steadfast.

More to prevent the tragedy that happened to him from happening again!

He rubbed his bald head, which felt chilly. After so many years, he had gotten used to the coolness atop his head.

"Knock knock, knock knock——"

The knocking startled Wabul, who could feel the terrifying aura emanating through the door from the other side, exuding a dark atmosphere, indescribable, anyone who locked eyes with it would be tainted with misfortune.

He took a deep breath, like a warrior facing destiny, "Come in."

"Hello, Professor Wabul, you’ve worked hard."

The darkness flowed into the room, carrying a fruit basket in hand.

Wabul’s gaze was nearly instantly drawn to the glistening fruits in the basket, as an alarm went off in his heart. The experience of the Bright Society’s years’ struggle against the "Black Demon King" taught him that when Lindong had this expression and greeted you properly, she had most likely already dug a pit for you ahead.

Clearly, the fruit basket contained frozen bombs disguised as fruit, consuming one mistakenly would immediately turn you into an ice block.

This incident was also recorded on the Bright Society’s "fallen" list.

Through professors’ research and discussions, they found that Lindong’s ice-elemental magic was different, able to completely freeze a person without causing any substantial harm, an exquisite spell beyond their common knowledge. However, Lindong only used her profound elemental magic skills for pranks.

"Professor Wabul, let me introduce you, this is my husband."

Lindong placed the fruit basket on the table, sweetly linking arms with Ethan and leaning intimately on his shoulder.

Of course, in Wabul’s eyes, it was a completely different scene.

Lindong had nothing to do with adorable and tame creatures like "little birds". In the realm of magical creatures, it was clearly a species of bird dragon that could spit freezing beams.

Being clutched by the claw of such a fierce creature — he couldn’t help but pity the young man Ethan.

"Hello Mr. Wabul, I am Ethan."

Ethan followed the etiquette of the Empire, bowing to Wabul. On their way, Lindong had mentioned to him that Wabul was the Director of the academy, and earlier on, a renowned scholar in magical creature studies. Over a third of the dangerous magical creatures in the Empire’s compendium were documented by Wabul and his team.

However, he felt that Lindong and Wabul’s roles were reversed. Observing the way the two interacted, it seemed as if Lindong was the true Director.

What a well-mannered young man!

Unfortunately...

Wabul lamented, envisioning Ethan being suppressed and stepped on by Lindong in a place known to none.
