Chapter 37
A black figure squeezed out from the crack in the wall, like a streak of ink spread on the floor, it began to rise gradually until it covered the entire room.
Heni was frightened and took a few steps back. She couldn't see the creature in the black ink.
She hurriedly took out a box of matches from her arms and was about to light it.
Just as she lit a flame, she didn't have time to raise her eyes, and the flame was instantly extinguished by the darkness.
"Why... again..."
"One or two ridicules... Isn't it enough?"
Heni asked, her emotions were a little broken now.
The dark ink shadow fell silent and just stared at her quietly.
That's right, just stared at her.
It seemed to see through Heni's thoughts, cracked its huge black mouth, and spoke, and the sound was like a magic sound that poured into Heni's ears.
"I know what you need, little girl."
"You're here, waiting for me."
The voice stopped abruptly, and the darkness in the room instantly dissipated with the sound of the pause.
The whole office became silent again.
Heni raised her head, she knelt on the ground powerlessly, with no expression of sadness or joy on her face.
...
Soon, the ink shadow that had just disappeared came back.
The suffocating black ink came back and filled the whole room.
It was like a gust of wind, entering and leaving the Mage Tower at will.
Heni raised her head, looked at the ink shadow, and was suddenly stunned.
She realized that this was the Mage Tower.
Only those with permission could enter and leave at will.
Why did this ink shadow appear here?
Before she could think about it for a while, the ink shadow in front of her actually showed an image.
She couldn't tell what was in front of her, but she could vaguely see that the monster opened its big mouth and suddenly stretched its arm into its throat and stirred it.
After a gurgling sound, the ink shadow stretched out its giant hand.
It took out three balls of light from its stomach, as if it was a ball of hope in Heni's despair.
"Little girl," Mo Ying said, and then there was a strange sound, "Hmm... Ugh... Baji Baji..."
"You need strength, right?"
"I..."
Hennie trembled slightly. She didn't even know what was going on, and she didn't care how disgusting the thing in front of her was.
"Come on, this is the power you need."
"Touch it, it's yours."
Hennie felt very bad, but every word of Mo Ying in front of her seemed to be full of strong temptation.
Somehow, she stretched out her hand and touched the ball of light.
Mo Ying's smile widened.
...
Early the next morning, Victor got off the carriage and stood at the gate of the academy.
He is back.
He returned to this academy after a long absence.
In fact, if Leah hadn't shouted angrily to drive him out early in the morning, Victor would have stayed at home for another morning.
'Should I drive her back to the territory? '
Victor thought to himself and gave up the idea.
Even if she was driven back, Liya would definitely keep going back and forth between the capital and the territory for business.
She would inevitably quarrel with him at that time.
Victor walked into the academy and felt a gaze sweeping over him.
That was the principal's spell - [Natural Sparrow]
When he was a third-level mage, Victor could not feel this natural force.
After being promoted to the fourth level, he clearly caught the discordant flow of magic in the air.
Victor looked up at the sky, and countless natural sparrows shuttled through the academy.
The dean's eyes enveloped the entire academy.
The gaze quickly left him, probably confirming his identity.
The royal family has already issued a notice, declaring Duke Levi and Victor not guilty.
Of course, only a few nobles knew about the series of events from the volcano's near eruption to the end.
So Victor's return did not cause a sensation in the academy.
Victor walked along the road naturally, ignoring the eyes of the people around him, and was completely thinking about how he should hand over the next course.
The students who passed by Victor were originally happy to welcome the new day, but they saw Victor with a "dead face".
They were stunned and couldn't speak clearly.
Victor didn't realize what kind of cognitive refresh his appearance had caused the students around him.
"Who is that? Such a terrifying sense of oppression..."
"Yeah, when he walked past me, I almost thought I was going to be drained of my magic power..."
A student suddenly pulled the others away and said in a low voiceSaid:
"Are you crazy!? That's Victor Kravenner! Don't let him hear us say bad things about him!"
"He... is the notorious bastard wizard!?"
"So scary..."
Victor walked on the campus, keeping a poker face on his face and breathing the fresh air on campus.
Soon, he encountered something unpleasant.
The commotion in front attracted his attention.
That was the student dormitory.
A group of students gathered at the door, and three students with dark faces and unconscious were carried out from inside.
"Something is wrong."
Vega reminded Victor in his ear.
"These unconscious students have lost their 'magic'."
After hearing Vega's words, Victor needed a source of information, so he saw a man in a white coat.
That was the school doctor of the college.
The students around felt a chill, and only saw a figure walking past.
"What happened?"
Victor's voice sounded, and the school doctor turned around. Seeing Victor, he was so frightened that his glasses fell off.
Victor bent down to help him pick it up and handed it to him.
The school doctor naturally knew who Victor was. Not to mention his notorious reputation, the influential incident that was circulating among the nobles in the capital recently was related to him.
However, this person who everyone thought was guilty was actually acquitted by the royal family.
Many mages who did not know the truth could not accept it.
But life is still important, and they have to be polite to Victor on the surface.
"Victor... Professor, why are you here?"
"Answer my question."
Victor's expressionless look made him shiver again.
The school doctor explained in a panic: "There is nothing wrong with the physical examination of these students, but they are just unconscious, and it seems that they are in a state that is difficult to wake up."
"These three people are in the same dormitory. No one knows what happened. When they were found by the students in the next dormitory, they were already like this."
"We are going to send them to the clinic for a magic check to see if there are any problems."
Victor nodded and moved away. The other party left hurriedly as if relieved.
'Obviously, these people don't know what happened. "
There was no one around, and Victor explained to Vega beside him.
"Absorbing other people's magic, this dirty method easily reminds me of that kind of filth."
"It seems that they penetrate very quickly."
Vega was talking about those demons.
Victor was also helpless. He encountered such a big job just after returning to the college.
However.
"If the demon appears, just solve it. "
Let's not talk about the filth of the devil, which will make people feel depressed.
This thing, after all, is also experience points.
Victor no longer paid attention to it and took Vega back to his office.
[Identity authentication successful-Professor Victor, welcome back to the Mage Tower]
After completing the identity authentication in front of the Mage Tower, as the teleportation array lit up, Victor stepped into his office.
The office was not much different from when he left, the only difference was that the pot of flowers on the windowsill was gone.
Those were the flowers that Heni gave him. In fact, Heni liked that pot of flowers very much, and often wanted to help Victor water the flowers as an excuse to go in and out of the Mage Tower.
"Did you take it back to the dormitory to grow it? "
Victor has not come back these days, so Heni naturally does not need to come to the office to find him.
He frequently goes in and out of the Mage Tower, and the distance is quite far. If he takes the flowers back to take care of them, at least he does not have to go back and forth like this.
He sat on the chair, and there were a few fewer books on the desk.
Similarly, those were also left here by Heni. In her spare time, she would always hold those books that she had read countless times and flip through them.
Victor did not care. Just like the pot of flowers, Victor also found a reason for the disappearance of these books.
Heni did not need to come to the office, so she naturally took the books back to read.
He took out the magic book that he had not finished reading yesterday from his backpack, and while reading, he passed the time.
He sat there until noon.
The sound of pages rustling sounded, very quiet.
Vega was dozing on the desk, and suddenly his head hit the table and woke up.
"What? Oh, she didn't come..."
This time at noon is when Heni comes to the Mage Tower most frequently.
She almost always brings that thick book with her, and happily tells Victor what kind of course she wrote today.
She always wakes up the sleeping Vega.
So waking up at this time has almost become Vega's habit.
And this time, Heni didn't come.
Vega glanced at Victor, and he shook his head.Without looking up, he turned the pages of the book, seemingly immersed in his own world.
Vega suddenly remembered that the little girl probably didn't know that Victor had returned to the academy.
It didn't care, and felt sleepy and dozed off again.
Time always passed surprisingly quickly after falling asleep.
In the afternoon, the sun's glimmer shone into the window obliquely, lengthening the shadows.
"Vega, it's time to go."
"Huh? Where to?"
The awakened crow blinked his eyes, and in a daze, he saw Victor put away the book.
"It's time for class."
"Oh oh."
Vega flapped his wings and stood on Victor's shoulder.
To be honest, it was still looking forward to the afternoon.
When the time came, what would the timid little girl do when she saw Victor?
Like a frightened deer, she would run away in fear?
Or would she shyly avoid his sight?
Or they would be very excited to surround Victor, jump up happily, and say:
"Professor Victor! You are finally back!"
No matter what the reaction was, it seemed very interesting to Vega.
The teleportation array landed on Victor.
The man and the bird disappeared in the Mage Tower.
When they appeared again, they had already reached the corridor of the teaching building.
The corridor was empty, and the teaching sounds of other classes could be heard from time to time.
Victor's footsteps were very crisp in this environment.
Da-da-da-da-
"So, based on this array, we..."
Suddenly, Victor's footsteps stopped.
He looked forward with deep eyes.
That was the location of Class 1, and the professor's lecture sounded in it.
Vega also looked straight ahead with one eye, and his voice was emotionless.
"It's really not good--"
Da-da-da--
The footsteps sounded again, but this time, they were heavier than the last time.
Finally, Victor walked to the door of the classroom.
The voice inside seemed clearer.
He pushed the door open.
Suddenly, the whole room was silent.
"Who didn't knock on the door during class time..."
The voice stopped abruptly, as sharp and unpleasant as a duck being strangled by the neck.
Victor looked at the source of the sound.
His eyes were fixed on the person standing on the podium.
"Really like a pig..."
Vega complained in his ear.
Victor did not respond to it, perhaps he acquiesced.
He had a blank expression on his face and a flat tone.
But people couldn't help but feel the unspeakable anger in his voice.
"Let me think, your name is, Devin..."
"Devon Reiser, right?"
