Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

Chapter 196 Shocking!

But the investigation revealed an expression of astonishment on the old man's face that was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than before.

He looked at the information about the young man displayed on the book in his hand, and rubbed his cloudy eyes in disbelief before continuing to focus his gaze on the book.

He looked at it no less than five times before he was sure that he was not seeing things because of his old eyes.

The information written above is indeed true:

Name: Ron Seraphim

Age: 16

[Rank: Intermediate Wizard Apprentice]

[Talent Rating: High]

[Year of enrollment: 10489 in the Red Moon Calendar]

[Quest Completion Status: Corrupted Swamp - Corrupted Black Boar - Tusk Gathering (Completed), Academy Base - Garrison Mission - Nur's City (Completed), Academy Base - Garrison Mission - Karazov Mountains (To be completed)]

[Mentor: Latour Thorinstor (Third-Ring Wizard, Crimson Archmage, Vice Dean of the Crimson Moon Tower —)]

Looking at Ron's personal information in the book, the old man sitting behind the counter couldn't help but show a surprised expression. His originally squinted eyes were now wide open, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He looked up again at the young man standing in front of the counter.

Her thick, jet-black hair was tied into a single ponytail and draped down her back. Her dark green eyes were so bright and deep that they were irresistible. Her sixteen-year-old body had now basically grown up. In her previous life, her height of nearly 1.9 meters would have been considered tall, but she did not appear bulky or clumsy.

The monocle he wore in his right eye, in particular, added a touch of wisdom to the boy's appearance.

The old man looked at the composed yet approachable young man standing in front of him, a fleeting look of bewilderment in his eyes.

He seemed to recall his own youth, though he didn't have the same flair as the young man before him. They were both young, with the same unrestrained and exuberant vitality. What a wonderful time that was!

"So I'm already this old—"

The old man lowered his head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and uttered a barely audible murmur.

Finally, he rallied his spirits and carefully examined the information in the book again. After confirming there were no problems, he showed it to the young man before asking, "Is Mr. Latour your teacher?"

He carefully examined his name in the book handed to him for a long time. Then he looked at the lines of personal information below, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he nodded to the old man in front of him and said, "That's right. The teacher only accepted me as a student a few days ago, so I'm a little late when I came to register."

After receiving a definitive answer, the old man waved his hand, a radiant smile he had never shown before appearing on his face: "It's alright. Mr. Rahu and the others, having become great sages, naturally need to consider more factors when accepting students. It's normal that it takes a little longer. If there are no problems with the information here, then I'll transmit it to the academy's terminal."

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Ron politely nodded to the elderly man sitting at the counter, who was working, and then stood there waiting.

Upon hearing Ron's words, the old man immediately and without hesitation clicked on the blue dot on the book called "Confirm." Finally, beams of light lit up the pages of the book in his hand. Compared to the faint blue light it emitted before, the book now radiated a dazzling golden light.

Ron looked at the scene before him, somewhat confused as to why this was happening. He looked at the old man sitting in front of the counter with a puzzled expression, trying to find out the answer from him.

The old man stared blankly at the books that were floating in mid-air. In all the years he had worked at the office, he had never seen anything like this before, and he didn't know what to do.

While the old man and the young man stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the book floating in mid-air, they realized that the book was quite a sight.

A silvery-white light flashed before their eyes and instantly transformed into a figure standing in front of them.

He had his back to Ron, who was standing in front of the counter, on one side, and was facing the old man sitting behind the counter on the other.

However, the person who suddenly appeared had no expression on their face. They simply stared intently at the book floating before them, radiating golden light, their eyes filled with confusion, bewilderment, and anger.

A variety of emotions, too numerous to mention.

The moment the old man saw the man appear, he immediately recognized him and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Good day, Mr. Jerry Pedabus."

Listening to the old man's words and his respectful actions, Ron immediately guessed that the newcomer was no ordinary person. The ghostly figure he had just witnessed also made him vaguely aware of the terrifying strength of the person in front of him.

Knowing that he was a mid-level wizard apprentice, and that he had the blood of the Morlock Firefeather Bird, his mental perception and dynamic vision were far beyond what ordinary people could match.

Even so, when this person appeared just now, he only caught a fleeting glimpse of a silvery-white light before he appeared right in front of them.

She didn't have any time to react.

The figure that had just appeared, the man named Jerry Pedabus mentioned by the old man, ignored his subordinate's greeting. He simply stood there, stunned, an incredulous look in his eyes, quietly staring at the book that was floating in front of him, shimmering with golden light.

He couldn't believe his eyes; the section for the tutor read:

Latour Sorinst

Perhaps the younger generation doesn't know the significance of this name in the Tower of the Red Moon, but as a second-circle wizard who has worked in the Tower of the Red Moon's office for so many years, Jerry Pedabus still can't understand the meaning hidden in this name.

You should know that back then, I really hoped to become a disciple of this gentleman.

But what did the other person say to me at that time?

Talent, perseverance, resources, background—you have it all. You are not lacking in the prerequisites for success. The path of the wizard is like flat ground for you. As long as you are willing to walk it, you will naturally be able to see a wider view in the future.

However, some things cannot be decided by these factors; they depend on "fate"!
