From MC's Perspective:
I have decided to return to gather my thoughts before proceeding with the next steps. Because something is bothering me. Both of them did not react strongly when they heard the name "Ancient Redwood Country."
Before returning to my room, I looked towards the Dean Tower.
Meanwhile,
The old man dean went back to the Sub-Taboo Hall's Sub-Space. The crippled old man remained seated in the same spot.
After touching the ground, the dean turned to the crippled old man and said, "Elder, the Ancient Redwood Nation is one of the Super Nations in our world. They have numerous powerful organizations."
"I do not think it is safe for Vincent Carey to go there," he added.
The crippled old man fell into thought. He is also aware of the Ancient Redwood Nation's power. Their top forces have a higher number of Magic Lords than their own.
So he agrees with the dean's statement. Unlike their neighboring countries, it is difficult to survive there. Even taking Vincent Carey's previous accomplishments into account. It is still unclear whether Vincent Carey will be able to achieve similar results in the Ancient Redwood Country.
"Sigh!"
"This will not be easy. However, we will have to wait for the Mage Union's statement. We are unaware of the Mage Union's offer to the winner of the Wizard Heart Competition."
"They will release a statement on this shortly. Until then, appoint someone to monitor his movements. It would be best if he stayed inside the academy for the time being," He said.
The Dean sighed internally. He expected the elder to recommend a risky move. Now he realizes that even the elders were wary of Super Nations.
After some conversation, the dean returns to his tower.

Capital City:
The Weapon Palace Wizards are nowhere to be found today. Instead, the Royal Force Wizards are conducting rounds. They have resumed their daily patrols, as usual.
However, as time passed, the Peak Wizards of the Royal Force Hall became aware of the Wizards' absence from the Weapon Palace Academy.
It was agreed that the two academies would work together to capture and kill Vincent Carey. But they are nowhere to be found right now.
They waited for several hours and still could not find any signs of Weapon Palace Academy Wizards. The Peak Wizards returned to their academy after sensing something was wrong.
Not only that, but the Dark League Wizards reported it to their superiors after discovering the absence of The Weapon Palace Wizards.
...
Weapon Palace Academy:
Cain, the Magic Lord, recovered to his peak state after receiving treatment. He spent the entire night removing foreign mana particles from his body.
He was the one who advised the Weapon Palace Academy's dean to withdraw the forces. However, he did not provide any explanation to Dean or others.
Right now, they are waiting for his response. Otherwise, the other two forces will soon discover something wrong and begin blaming them.
Shortly afterward,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cain summoned the dean of the academy to his Sub-Space. He was dressed in the same attire. He wore an overcoat to cover his body and a pointed hat to cover his head.
Old Witch Arika received shocking news from the Dean of the Weapon Palace Academy.
"What the F@ck!"
She stood up abruptly from her seat, shocked by the message.
"Vincent Carey is alive. He has most likely returned to the academy," Arika read from the message.
"Did he go senile?"
"What happened to the geezer from the Weapon Palace Academy?" She asked herself.
If the news is correct, she does not know where to hide her face. The three forces will become laughingstocks in the eyes of the Yellow River Academy.
Furthermore, if the target, Vincent Carey, catches the attention of Mage Union members. Then she will be unable to do anything.
She takes a look at the message. The dean of the Weapon Palace Academy did not explain why. And there is no evidence that Vincent Carey returned to the academy.
She considered something. There is only one method for verifying the information. She then issued new instructions to the spy to verify the academy's news.
Some of the spies are connected to the wizard families. If they ask any academy student to look up Vincent Carey's news. They will soon learn the news.
She understands how difficult it will be to keep Vincent Carey's return from the public. Everyone is interested in learning about the Wizard Heart Competition.
Old Witch Arika then decides to inform the Magic Lord of their situation. She does not want them to waste their time anymore.

Yellow River Academy:
I have begun cleaning the room. After confirming that there were no hidden gadgets or magical formations. I sighed, relieved.
About twenty minutes later,
The cleaning process came to an end. Then I went to the Gregor Mansion to take a bath. The bathing lasted 15 minutes.
After leaving, I changed into the academy uniform. I wore the emblem and the magical robe. Then I combed my hair and examined my appearance.
My face and skin were slightly tanned. I have also lost some weight. I do not think anyone will recognise me. Then I shook my head before entering the room.
Then I decided to go to the Sub-Taboo Hall. I have a few looted items in my collection. One of them was Black Flower, which I had gathered from the Silent Forest.
I think it will be beneficial to Senior Carolina.
I left the room after I had cleared my mind of all unnecessary thoughts. Then I walked out of the dorm building and began walking towards the Main Castle.
On the way, I noticed the wizard students going about their business. Seeing this, my mood lightens. It is a safe environment here. There is no need to be concerned about unknown people around me.
When I entered the building, I noticed the bloodline Wizards mocking the others. The Elemental Wizards and others are watching from the sidelines.
"Something never changes," I grumbled.
Then I began walking down the corridor leading to the Sub-Taboo Hall.
In contrast, the wizard students cast a casual glance at the wizard who had just entered. But they could not identify the face. So they ignored him.
