Chapter 725 The Return of the Mage
Da Chun immediately asked, "And now?"

Vivian laughed and said, "Now? She recklessly disturbed my consciousness, not only allowing me to perceive the Nightmare Realm, but also seemingly reopening my elemental perception that had been closed for many years. So, my dear, don't worry, I will suddenly become very strong and will definitely no longer be a hostage or a burden to you!"

As she spoke, Vivian waved her hand and conjured a small fireball!

Is this even possible?

Da Chun was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

Lia asked, "What was the serial number of the object you infused with magic back then?"

Vivian paused for a moment: "Back then, even when I exhausted all my strength, I only managed to forge a low-level sacred artifact. As for the serial number, I was too weak at the time and don't remember it."

Lia said, "Although it's a low-tier holy artifact, it's the only super artifact suitable for your return as a mage. There are precedents in history where the returnees are far stronger than before. Miss Vivian, even if you can't remember the number, you remember the appearance of the item, right?"

what! ! !
Vivian was even more surprised: "Remember! Come with me!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the buttocks flesh on the ground and walked out.

Lia then turned around and called out to the classroom, "Keep absorbing!"

"Okay, master."

As the group walked through the academy setting, Vivian, in high spirits, joked lightly, "That's the girls' restroom. Back then, I was constantly being humiliated by several noble ladies from the Imperial Lorraine, Hathaway, and Busta families. Even though I had magic, it was completely restricted so I couldn't use it at all. That's why I later gave up on magic."

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat: "And then...and then what?"

Vivian laughed and said, "Later, when Fafnir enrolled, I went to see her. Fafnir then pinned them down in the toilet and gave them a good beating!"

Your senior is really something...

Da Chun exclaimed, "Fafner is so loyal!"

Vivian sighed, "As a result, Fafnir was locked in a small dark room for two weeks because of this, and was warned by the school not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, Fafnir wouldn't have graduated in 5 months. I dragged her down."

Da Chun asked again, "And then?"

Vivian laughed even harder: "Then those young ladies couldn't wait to take revenge on me before their injuries had even healed, and they beat me even harder. As a result, that bitch Hathaway used too much force and pulled her wounds open again, so she had to go back to the hospital for another week."

amount……

Lia sighed, "I've heard about the bad reputation of these imperial families. On the surface, they act willfully and bully others, but in reality, they interfere with and suppress promising lower-level students. Being targeted by them is actually a recognition of your strength."

Vivian laughed and said, "I've completely figured it out! Becoming a dancer requires a lot of physical resilience, and you'll take a lot of hits. By taking hits in advance, I've laid a good physical foundation for becoming a dancer."

Then, Vivian pointed to the cafeteria restaurant ahead and laughed: "Back then, my roommate was a down-on-her-luck member of the Golden Wheat Flower family. Even though she had become a student aid worker, she still acted like a noblewoman in front of me. Every morning she made me get her food, and I would spit a few mouthfuls of saliva into the food. She lived with me for two years and ate my saliva for two years!"

Lying...

Holy crap! To put it in a twisted way, why reward her with two years?
Lia sighed, "Although Miss Vivian has unpleasant memories, the fact that she can remember this scene so clearly means she must have something valuable to her, right?"

Vivian sighed, "Yes, perhaps it was freedom, even the freedom to be beaten. Perhaps it was hope, even the faintest hope. After all, we were young then..."

As they spoke, a blurry yet majestic building towering into the clouds appeared ahead.

Vivian gave an awkward smile: "The Tower of Dharma is a place only top students can go to. I'm usually too embarrassed to approach it, so I don't remember it very well. I only went there for the last time when I graduated."

Lia sighed, "Actually, it's not as grand and sophisticated as you remember it. It's actually like this—" With that, she waved her hand, and the entire building shrunk considerably, becoming suddenly clear and distinct.

Vivian was stunned: "Is that so?"

"Ok!"

Vivian laughed loudly: "Is this considered demystification?"

Lia nodded: "Yeah, it's nothing special."

Vivian let out a long sigh: "Thank you for pointing it out..."

So, they entered the tower and went down to the underground level.

Lia smiled and said, "I've never been here before, but thank you anyway."

Upon entering the lowest level, one arrives at a grand and solemn basement filled with various facilities whose memories are hazy, except for a dazzling silver ring on a display case.

Vivian said, "This is the ring that has drained all my magic power."

Lia nodded: "This is the first-tier mithril alloy crystal ring, named the 'Imperial Silver Sun Ring.' It was released by the Imperial Holy Radiance Jewelry Company to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Emperor's accession to the throne. A total of 1000 were made, and it's a highly sought-after collectible among nobles. The Imperial Magic Academy, being the sixth priority department, should also receive 100 of these rings, with numbers between 600 and 699. The fact that Miss Vivian, as an apprentice, was given such a special ring is a true affirmation of your talent."

Vivian exclaimed in amazement, "You know so much, sir!"

Da Chun had to admit that although she was young, she was truly capable as the city's most beautiful woman!
Lia sighed, "Because this ring has collectible value, I don't know if it's still in the academy. If it is, I might be able to find a way to buy it. If it's been bought by another collector, then it will take some effort."

Da Chun decisively stated: "I have plenty of money. As long as I know the seller, I will definitely buy it!"

Vivian sighed, "Yes, I know you have a lot of money, but you can't leave right now."

Liya said in a deep voice, "Actually, I already have three possible spots. The one who knows your true strength best is the young lady of the three families who bullied you. One of them will definitely buy!"

Vivian paused for a moment: "It must be very troublesome, right?"

Lia sighed, "Perhaps we should keep an eye on things for now."

Is it troublesome? For some reason, Da Chun instantly thought of the Ten Elders! The nobles of the Empire are all in the Old World; who among ordinary players could possibly go there? Even a newly promoted Ten Elder like myself could only reach the Golden Throne at most. But the Ten Elders are different; is there anything they can't do?

But directly having Liya summon the Ten Elders doesn't follow the usual event triggering process.

But Da Chun still gave it a try: "I think we should consult a wise man about this?"

Lia sighed, "The sages are very busy too. Let's go back and see how their absorption is going."

Well, it didn't work after all.

However, Da Chun thought of Shila Li! She had directly triggered the communication with Vivian face to face, so why not let Vivian tell the truth, so as to avoid making up all sorts of reasons that would be full of loopholes.

Da Chun said directly, "Honey, you can find the gang elder, Sheila, and tell her she must have news."

Vivian smiled and said, "I'll give it a try."

That's more like it! I had her pretend to be an NPC...
