"Eight... eight segments?"
"The magic stone must be broken!! There must be some malfunction with the magic stone!"
"Until now, the only person who has achieved this eight-segment record was Lord Malvin back then!"
"Could it be that another legendary mage is about to be born??"
"No, no, no, have you all forgotten? When Lord Malvin was tested back then, he was already an adult, but that little girl now is only a few years old!"
"Tsk, so you're saying, could it be that this little girl's talent is even more amazing than Lord Malvin's?"
"Who on earth is she!!"
"Go investigate her identity for me immediately!!"
After the petrification on the scene, there was a clamor from the crowd of onlookers like a tidal wave.
On the huge academy testing square, at least thousands of people from various factions had gathered. It could be said to be a mix of all sorts, but everyone's eyes were now all fixed on one spot.
It was the confused Vielsia on the stage.
Not only that, the grandeur of this Academy Competition was no exaggeration to say that it had attracted the attention of the entire world.
So apart from these onlookers on the scene, who knows how many arcane projections had transmitted the image of this moment to many other places.
It was no exaggeration to say.
Now, the little girl was the focus of the entire world.
And as a price.
The Sage Stone on Reji's right hand was flashing crazily.
The energy he had painstakingly accumulated by following the original plot was being rapidly consumed.
After all, in the original history, there was no such super-genius little girl with talent comparable to a legendary great mage, attracting the attention of numerous forces.
Reji stared at the Sage Stone in his hand.
His goal was achieved.
There were already enough "witnesses" to this "new history".
Then next should be...
"Sir, Congratulations!! You are so lucky!" A high-level person in charge from the organizers came forward.
With these words, a powerful wave of magic power radiated from the direction of Darran Academy. Wherever it passed, the crowd that was too agitated and restless due to shock instantly quieted down.
Fifth-tier spell, group silence.
Being able to release it over such a large area from such a distance, it was self-evident who had made the move.
The onlookers who were forcibly "silenced" certainly wouldn't leave.
They were more curious about what would happen next.
And... Your adventure continues at empire
What did the person in charge mean by "so lucky"?
"May I ask if she is your..."
"She's my sister." Reji walked over and took Vielsia's hand, not minding the countless eyes from the crowd below immediately focusing on him.
This feeling was exactly the same as when she went to find the Holy Sword before.
It should have been a very arduous and difficult journey.
But... Suddenly, the goal was achieved.
Last time, they found the Holy Sword right at the village entrance. This time, they were invited to meet Malvin before the competition even started?
"Don't worry, he's a very good person."
Reji reassured Freya and then walked in front.
When he finally stood at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, Reji took a deep breath. With a complex mood of nervousness and anticipation in his heart, he slowly pushed it open.
The familiar figure was leaning against a small mountain of books.
Due to the acceleration of the plot by him, the Malvin he met now was much younger than in the game.
This legendary mage, who was in his prime, closed the book in his hand and quickly came forward with a smile to welcome them.
"Miss Freya, when I visited the Radiant Church back then, I even saw you as a baby in the arms of the High Priest. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you've already grown so much. Time really flies..."
"As for this gentleman..."
"Reji." Reji naturally extended his hand to Malvin.
"Hello, Mr. Reji, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Malvin happily shook it, seeming not like some legendary mage, but an ordinary person happy to make new friends.
"Come in quickly. Oh, sorry, sorry, it's a bit messy here. I hope you don't mind."
"No need. Freya, you take Vielsia to the tea break room first. If I remember correctly, it should be on the third floor of the mage tower, the fifth room on the right. After entering, um, yes, remember to press the third honorary trophy on the cabinet. That's a mechanism. Below it is Teacher Malvin's most treasured rare tea leaves.
I think Vielsia will definitely like drinking it."
After Reji's words, Freya was a bit dazed.
The same went for Malvin.
His body, the smile on his face, everything visibly stiffened a bit.
The next second.
A powerful aura instantly enveloped Reji.
The source of the surging magic power was from this legendary human great mage.
Malvin seemed to want to see through Reji.
But very quickly.
The tense atmosphere on the scene dissipated.
Malvin, who had returned to normal, not only nodded to the confused Freya but also reminded attentively, "The location of the tea break room is correct, but, haha, we haven't had time to hide the treasured tea leaves yet. They're just placed at the very bottom of the table. But it doesn't matter. It's my honor to share them with Miss Saintess and the little princess."
Freya: "..."
The Saintess always felt that the Hero and Malvin seemed to have hidden meanings in their words, like two riddle-tellers, but she couldn't figure it out at all.
In the end, the helpless Freya could only look at Reji on the left and Malvin on the right, then lead Vielsia, who was looking forward to the rare tea leaves, and left step by step in a daze.
The two people left at the door.
"Shall we go in, Teacher?"
"Don't forget to use the 'Demon Banishing Spell' first."
Reji smiled and shrugged, "Of course."
