He was stunned when he saw the two of them.

Karl’s hair was still wet, and Elena’s face was so red.

Naturally, the pale-faced young man thought of something.

“Uh uh uh…”

He noticed that the young man’s gaze was gradually turning strange.

Elena knew what the young man was thinking.

At this moment, she wished that she could use magic to create a huge hole in the ground and hide in it.

The pale young man finally reacted and looked at Karl with envy.

After all, Elena was too beautiful.

It was his first time seeing such a beautiful girl.

“Hey, you’re also a special admission student?”

Compared to Elena, Karl was much calmer. He said calmly, “My name is Karl Solo.”

“Very… very pleased to meet you. My name is William Rogers.”

William cleared his throat and said, “My eyes were injured by a magical beast two days ago, causing me to temporarily lose my sight. I haven’t recovered yet, so I didn’t see anything just now.”

With that, he led his luggage to the bedroom.

As if to prove that his eyes could not see.

He even extended his hand to scout ahead.

Karl and Elena looked at each other.

Elena groaned inwardly. This was a huge misunderstanding.

The Holy Vestige Magic Academy had done a very good job with its food.

There were quite a few magical beast dishes. These were all very good for the students. If it were outside, a meal like this would cost at least a few gold coins.

However, it was completely free in the magic academy.

Of course, it was not free for all the students.

This was only a benefit for special admissions students.

After all, a special admissions student held extraordinary significance to the academy.

It was nothing to let these people eat for free.

“What’s your plan this afternoon, Karl?”

After lunch, Elena asked Karl.

After what happened earlier, their relationship had improved a lot.

Now Elena was no longer shy.

“I intend to take a look at the academy’s cultivation room. What about you?”

Karl replied.

The cultivation room in the academy was different from the cultivation room in the dormitory.

The academy’s cultivation room was seared with the energy of high ranking mages.

It was helpful for the students’ cultivation.

The school’s cultivation room was open all day. Besides, Karl had a free quota.

It would be a pity not to not use it.

“I…”

Elena hesitated. She’d wanted to go with Karl, but her sister was coming back that afternoon.

“My sister is coming back this afternoon. I don’t think she’ll let me go anywhere else.”

“Your sister?” Karl was stunned.

“Yeah,” Elena said with a scowl.

It seemed that her sister was very strict with her.

…

Karl said goodbye to Elena.

He headed to the academy’s cultivation room alone.

The academy’s cultivation room was not far away.

They soon arrived.

At the door, he showed his Magic Card to the teacher on duty.

Then, he walked inside.

He was allowed to use the academy’s cultivation room for 72 hours every month.

That was three whole days.

However, it was not necessary to use it all at once.

The cultivation rooms in the academy came in different sizes. The largest room could accommodate at most twenty people.

Of course, there were also individual rooms.

Karl was in luck. As soon as he entered, he found an empty single room.

He entered the cultivation room and felt the strong magical aura inside.

Karl calmed down and sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to compress magic.

Unknowingly, a few hours passed.

The sky gradually darkened.

At that moment, the magic ball in Karl’s hand was clearly smaller than before.

Karl was rather happy to see it.

Then, he got up and left the cultivation room.

After all, although the cultivation room was good, there was no need to use up the 72 hours at one go.

Work and rest were the best conditions for cultivation.

Karl returned to his dormitory and saw his roommate William walking over.

“Hey, Karl.”

William greeted Karl in a friendly manner.

“Oh, William, have your eyes healed?”

Karl said with a faint smile.

William rubbed his nose and smiled. “It’s magical. My eyes recovered after eating a meal at the academy.”

“Congratulations, then,” Karl replied.

William smiled. Then, he said with a serious expression, “Your girlfriend came to look for you this afternoon. She looked a little fierce, as if she was angered by someone.”

“Girlfriend?”

Karl was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

The girlfriend William was referring to was Elena.

However, Elena’s personality seemed very gentle. She didn’t look fierce at all.

What was going on?

Karl couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t think too much about it.

The next day.

When Karl woke up, the first thing he did was to share Rayne’s cultivation gains.

He felt the changes in his body and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Karl left the dormitory. He planned to have a meal first before heading to the academy’s cultivation room.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Elena.

“Elena , my roommate said yesterday afternoon—”

Before Karl could finish speaking, Elena suddenly attacked him.

She raised her hand and a football-sized ball of light shot out from her palm.

“Oh?”

Karl’s expression changed. He didn’t know what was wrong with her.

He moved and dodged the blow.

Bang!

The ball of light hit the door of the dormitory. Fortunately, the door was made of special materials.

Otherwise, it would have completely shattered under this attack.

“Elena, what are you trying to do?”

Karl said with an awkward expression.

But Elena did not respond. She continued to attack Karl with a cold face.

The first time, Karl didn’t retaliate out of courtesy. But he wouldn’t let the other party attack him the second time.

Then, with a booming sound, Karl’s body was surrounded by electric arcs.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and a ball of lightning formed between his palms. Then, he released it toward Elena.

“Oh?”

Elena was surprised to see the ball of light appear.

She had not expected Karl’s control over magic to be much better than hers.

The magic ball that Elena had condensed earlier was the size of a football, and Karl’s was much smaller.

Comparing the two, the difference was obvious.

However, even though Elena knew that there was a difference in their control over magic, she did not give up just like that.

A white magic ball condensed in her hand again and it collided with Karl’s magic ball.

Boom!

The moment the two magic balls collided, a wave of power spread in all directions.
