The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

No! Impossible! An S-rank magic wand, dazzling like stars, is a treasure that countless magicians dream of touching! How could it possibly be given to someone like me?

But even just holding it in my hand for a little while would make me very satisfied!

Bourbo answered decisively: "I am ashamed of Loren and Bordonna. I abandoned my child and ran away from home back then. I am a scumbag, so I have little contact with her family. Therefore, Loren knows of my existence, but we do not know each other."

His expression was full of devout repentance, as if he had come today to seek forgiveness.

"I see," Kurara said, suddenly realizing.

What's going on? Sylph listened, completely bewildered.

Meilan, who hadn't yet figured out the kinship, blinked her eyes, also unable to understand.

"You're something else, Bourbo, you cunning old fox, you really know how to make things up! Well said!" Lorenwei quietly gave a thumbs up.

In fact, Lorenwei did not know that Burbo knew about her Seville ancestry. She thought that Burbo was just not angry that the headmaster had adopted a godson and did not know that Lorenwei and she were the same person.

But this didn't affect much. Lorenwei shook the [Galactic Brilliance] magic wand before slowly putting it into her spatial ring.

The old man's gaze remained fixed on the magic wand until it vanished in an instant, at which point his eyes dimmed with regret.

He actually took it seriously, how interesting. Lorenvi felt a sense of triumph: Bulpo had no idea about this magic wand…

It's a fake!

Actually, this magic wand is a high-quality replica made by Lorenwei, which she created herself based on the description in the book.

The "diamonds" on them are just pieces of glass, which Lorenwei polished to look nicer using her experience from another world. If you hold them in your hand and look closely, they will appear crude, revealing their true nature. But from a distance, you will only see a dazzling, diamond-like reflection.

Bourb had no doubt about the authenticity of the staff. It's like asking the child of a Fortune 500 CEO if she's wearing fake designer clothes—would you doubt her authenticity?

But Lorenwei just happens to...

She made a lot of these fake things, partly to scare people, and partly to pass them off as treasures to fool them. Now the old man has been fooled.

"Is it Sylph who will fight him next? Or should you go?" Melan asked.

“Sylvie fights this old man? I can’t bear to see her like that.” Lorenwei shook her head.

Sylph pouted, seemingly dissatisfied, but the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the upward curve.

Meilan said happily, "So you're going to fight? Great! It was very interesting to see you teach those siblings, Oha and Oyou, a lesson last time. I'm looking forward to seeing you make a scene."

“Hmm, no problem.” Lorenwei started fiddling with the space ring again.

Meilan asked curiously, "Do you want a weapon or a magic wand?"

"You can sit and watch." Lorenwei actually pulled out three folding stools and placed them on the ground for Meilan and the other girls to sit on. There was also a small table, where she started to set out some snacks: "Sunflower seeds, candy, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

Meilan's mouth watered: "Garlic ribs!"

Lorenvi shook her head: "No!"

Kula tugged at them: "Seriously!"

Sylph, however, sat down in a good mood and started eating melon seeds and watching the excitement with Melanie.

Boulbo wanted to stomp his feet in frustration.

Get your act together! How can you sit on the sidelines eating sunflower seeds while watching your teammate and prospective mentor compete?

I came here voluntarily as a mentor, just wanting to experience what it's like to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, quietly creating historical figures and influencing the future of the mainland. Why am I being treated like a monkey show in the street, while people sit on small stools watching the spectacle?

At this moment, Lorenwei actually asked Burpo, "Don't you have a feeling that it's not very harmful, but very insulting?"

"...No! In the past half-century, I have witnessed the fall of great powers and the downfall of heroes. How could I possibly take such a trivial matter to heart?" Burbo lamented inwardly, but outwardly refused to admit it, stubbornly declaring with the air of a wise man who had seen through the ways of the world, "That's all? It doesn't harm me at all! It's not an insult at all!"

Lorenwei nodded: "That's good, otherwise I would feel guilty."

"Don't talk about things that don't exist!" Bourbo thought to himself, secretly angry.

Kurala glanced at Burbo, who was stubbornly refusing to admit he was hurt, and felt a little worried. Feeling embarrassed, she simply stood to the side and urged Lorenwei, "You guys need to take this seriously."

"I'll definitely be serious when we fight! Don't worry, but... let me go to the restroom first!" Lorenwei ran off to a public restroom on the sidelines in a very unserious manner.

Kurala rolled her eyes, feeling that Lorenwei was simply a mood killer.

This is truly a bizarre team! Bourbo, left stranded on the field, clutched her forehead, throbbing with a headache. But could you really stop her from going to the bathroom?

Soon, Lorenwei returned, not bothering with Kulara and the other women, and went straight to the field: "Let's try it out. If you can't beat me, shouldn't you acknowledge me as your mentor?"

“Want to beat me? At least another ten years. With my guidance, maybe it will only take five years, no, with your foundation and talent, maybe three years.” Burbo assessed Lorenwei as a genius.

“Your advertising is really good. It’s a pity that some geniuses don’t need a mentor to grow.” Lorenwei and Burbo stood about ten steps apart.

Neither of them carried magic wands or weapons; they fought bare-handed.

“I acknowledge your genius, but not your arrogance.” Bulbo flicked his mage robes, becoming more serious than ever before. “Let’s begin!”

"Firestorm!" Lorenwei immediately used a low-level fire spell.

A flame lay on the ground, seemingly with legs, and attacked Burbo.

Burbo reacted swiftly, immediately forming a spell with both hands: "Earthfire Assault!"

Just as Lorenwei's flames were about to approach Burbo, another flame clashed with them, and the two flames extinguished each other.

Lorenwei moved swiftly to the right, to the left of Burbo, chanting rapidly spellcasting attack incantations.

"Scorching wind!"

"Earthclaw Invasion!"

As the spells continued to be cast, Bulbo countered with equally rapid spells to counter them.

Lorenwei was like the hands of a clock, constantly revolving counterclockwise around Bulbo. Bulbo remained stationary, calmly adopting a defensive stance, and this defense was based on countering the opponent's magic with the same magic. If this continued, it was clear that Bulbo had the upper hand.

Soon, Lorenwei had circled Bulbo twice, casting at least twenty different low-level spells.

"Lorenve has so much magic? I didn't even notice her mental strength declining." Kurara stared at the battle in astonishment.

Sylph hummed in agreement, not taking this level of combat seriously; after all, deep down she was someone who had seen many great battles. She simply watched the battlefield with concern, worried that Lorenvie might get hurt.

"You actually copied me?" Lorenwei laughed as she continued casting spells, scolding, "Remember, you copied me first, didn't you? We had an agreement."

"Huh?" Burbo was taken aback. Could it be that she could learn it from him?

Sylph and the others on the sidelines were no longer surprised by Lorenvi's frequent ramblings.

Lorenwei suddenly pointed a finger at Bulbo, winked mischievously, and said playfully, "Next, you'll say, [Impossible!]"

Burbo was startled and felt a vague unease; he feared the other party was up to something.

At that moment, Lorenwei had just circled Bulbo twice when she suddenly took a few steps back, pointing with her fingers, and clasped her hands together: "Take this! Earth Core Shock!"

"Impossible!" Upon hearing her call out that name, and simultaneously feeling a large amount of earth magic elements gathering, Bulbo exclaimed in disbelief.

Core tremors are a mid-to-high-level spell, one that even Bulbo needs time to cast. Without a magic staff or crystal enhancements, Bulbo knew it was impossible to cast it instantly. But how to explain this rapid convergence of earth-elemental magic? Could it be that Lorenwei could really do it?

But he really didn't know that Lorenwei could already freely condense magical elements.

"He actually said [impossible]!" Meilan laughed heartily from the sidelines, with sunflower seed shells still clinging to her lips.

Sylph also cracked open a sunflower seed with a snap, rolled the kernel in her scarlet tongue, and laughed, "Lorenve was right."

Meilan, who was swaying back and forth on the stool, noticed that Kula was still standing next to her. She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and wanted to hand them to her: "Want some? The sunflower seeds smell pretty good."

"..." Kurara couldn't respond at all. That was Loren's grandfather! I couldn't just watch him being teased while he ate sunflower seeds!

If Burbo could be distracted, he would surely think that Lorenwei's companions were far too relaxed.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

A series of explosions rang out, and Burbo was horrified to realize that Lorenwei seemed to have actually cast a core tremor spell instantly.

A cloud of dust rose, and small explosions continued to occur on the ground around Burbo.

Next, it seems inevitable that a high-intensity attack will erupt from the core.

"Holy Light Barrier!" Burbo instantly cast a mid-level defensive spell. At his level, only holy elemental spells could he cast instantly without magic crystals; others required certain conditions to assist him.

A shimmering, dome-shaped barrier of holy light rose around Burbo, shielding him from most of the smoke and explosions. The old man was now essentially inside a safe dome.

Lorenwei stood not far away, then pointed her finger at Bulbo inside the protective shield and said, "What you're going to say next is... Waaaaaah!"

Huh? Kurara and the others were puzzled: What does "waa ...

"Waaaaaah!" Burbo's screams soon followed.

The expected high-damage earth magic did not materialize; instead, a stinging pain, as if being bitten by something, kept coming from my body.

Kula and the other women on the sidelines looked closely and noticed some small black dots flying around inside the cover, but they were too far away to see clearly.

Inside the protective shield, the old man seemed to be standing on scorching hot ground, jumping around wildly and constantly patting himself with his magic robe.

Just now, Lorenwei kept circling around, releasing attack magic with one hand and secretly using dark magic with the other, while secretly lurking around Burbo.

Moreover, Lorenwei circled around twice, and it wasn't just one dark magic spell. However, due to the limitations of the Ambidextrous Magic Release technique, it couldn't be too advanced, so they were all relatively low-level dark magic spells.

"It's a wasp!" Meilan, who was familiar with things in the wild, was the first to recognize it.

Kurara and Sylph were both taken aback.

At this moment, the dust settled slightly, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that the creatures flying inside the sacred elemental shield were indeed wasps, and specifically, corpse wasps forged from dark elements!

Although they weren't killer bees controlled by a curse mage, the dark magic corpse bees that Lorenwei released using a magic scroll were still quite formidable.

These corpse bees are terrified of light-based magic elements and dare not collide with the protective shield. Therefore, they are stimulated even more within the formed shield and continue to sting and bite Burbo.

What a tragedy! This small, round cover was like a cage; Burbo was caught off guard and stung dozens of times.

Fortunately, the corpse bee magic is a disruptive spell and doesn't cause too much damage. Even without applying medicine or treatment, the stung skin will heal on its own after about half an hour as the dark element dissipates.

"Damn it! The divine light descends with the wrath of the gods... Explosive Flash!" Bulbo quickly chanted a mid-level spell, instantly purifying the corpse bees around his body.

"They really went all out, using intermediate-level magic." Lorenwei shaded her eyes with her hand, looking at him with exaggerated expression.

"Lorenve, don't use tricks! I'll get angry... Ugh!"

Crackling sounds—a series of explosions like firecrackers.

Numerous dark-elemental earthworm-like phantoms silently emerged from beneath Burbo's feet, having crawled out of the ground at some unknown time. Upon encountering the intense holy flash, they exploded like lit firecrackers.

Lorenwei's dark magic was still not refined enough; she used relatively low-level, miscellaneous spells, which had weak attack power but decent special effects. This burst of firecracker-like explosions startled Bulbo, who had just been disturbed by the corpse bees.

"Hahahaha!" Meilan, standing on the sidelines, pointed at the field and laughed loudly. She found it amusing to see the old man jump up and down in fright.

Sylph covered her mouth and laughed, watching Lorenwei's performance on the field with a hint of reproach in her eyes, but more so with admiration.
