Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 246 The Aftermath Has Not Yet Subsided

"Sandra!"

The leader of the University of Mesopotamia team shouted, "What do you mean? Why are you blocking our way?"

He was very alert in his positioning, and could easily slip into one of the four teams to find a new shield.

Sandra looked at the other person and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you be the one telling me what you mean?"

As she spoke, Sandra gave a cold smile and waved the smart device in her hand:

"You barged into our academy's territory without even saying hello to me. What are you trying to do?"

What were your thoughts when you killed someone after being questioned?

As a seasoned level two wizard, not only was he unable to defeat a level one wizard, but he also survived by using his own wizard as a scapegoat. What does that mean?

In many situations, words are powerless.

In many situations, when accompanied by audio or video, the words can be extremely sharp.

As a team leader, it's perfectly reasonable to install a surveillance camera at the academy's base in advance to keep track of your team's whereabouts and movements, right?

Sandra projected the surveillance footage from the smart brain into the air, thoughtfully slowing it down by 100 times.

Everyone could clearly see what happened in the brief exchange of less than two seconds.

A murmur rippled through the room, with gasps of astonishment filling the air.

They were astonished that the University of Mesopotamia team leader had used the second-circle witchcraft "Disintegration" right off the bat, a ruthless move that could kill.

They were also astonished by Link's bizarre method of leaving behind realistic illusions and teleporting behind enemies in a way that was completely incomprehensible;

They were also astonished by the incredible power of the modified "Ablation Ray" that reappeared;

What's even more astonishing is the ruthless decision of the University of Mesopotamia team leader to use his followers as human shields when he could have taken the attack himself.

"you……"

The University of Mesopotamia team leader, seeing the four teams subtly widening their distance from him, becoming wary of him, and casting strange glances at him, felt a surge of anger. He pointed at Sandra, about to unleash a torrent of abuse.

He knew that from then on, not only would the forty first-level wizards present distance themselves from him, but many more wizards would do the same.

Even his family elders and university executives might give up on him.

A wizard can do many bad things.

But we can't let them get caught red-handed and then have the story spread everywhere.

A wizard's reputation can be bad.

But it can't be so bad that everyone hates it.

It's not that this situation is irreversible; it depends on whether it's worth it.

Although the three-point wizard Vina has drained and burned many people, she only targets wizard apprentices and even gives them magic stones!

There's not much to criticize about a "voluntary" transaction.

Link suddenly stepped forward, saying nothing, just staring coldly.

The ring on the chest of the armor also accidentally lit up.

Initially, when I saw the modified version of "Dissolve Ray" in the live video of the team battle, which instantly wiped out most of the defense of the Flame and Metal Merchant team, I just felt that the attack strength was too abnormal.

Having personally experienced the "Ablation Ray," a modified version whose power had inexplicably increased, and witnessing the tragic death of his henchman, the Mesopotamian leader was filled with fear.

This isn't just perverted, this is super perverted.

Killing someone requires burning them to stop the bleeding and ensure sterility!

Therefore, the swear words that the University of Mesopotamia team leader wanted to utter were swallowed back.

"hehe!"

A burst of laughter erupted from someone in the crowd.

The sarcastic remark made the University of Mesopotamia team leader blush with embarrassment.

Sandra was very surprised that Link would stand up for her at this moment.

Lanny Taylor knew perfectly well that at that moment, Link wasn't seeing Sandra Diormand, but rather the leader of the Rivosos Academy team.

Although the academy is not a secluded place, and there is no peace and tranquility, but rather many internal conflicts.

However, in any case, the academy as a whole still provided a relatively stable environment for development.

At this juncture, setting aside disputes and uniting against external threats is the right thing to do.

Without the rise of academies, where would the dignity of wizards come from?

"hehe……"

Seeing that there was some juicy gossip to be had, the gloomy leader of Shadow City chuckled. "Sandra, could you send me a copy of this video? I want to watch it properly when I get back."

"I want one too."

The White Tower Alliance leader, a "scholar," had a burning gaze and spoke with fervor.

The way Link Grande teleports in the projected images is very worthy of study!

The three-point wizard Vina opened her mouth, then consciously closed it again.

She has a thick skin, but not to an exaggerated degree; she can shamelessly ask for a video call.

Sandra withdrew the projection, not directly granting their request, but instead looking at Link.

If this were just an ordinary video that could embarrass the University of Mesopotamia team leader, Sandra would definitely have readily agreed.

However, since this video involves Link's attack methods, and those methods are quite powerful, we need to consider it carefully and fully consult with the parties involved.

"It's alright, give it to me."

Link's voice came from beneath the mask, deep and resonant with a magnetic quality.

+++The modified "Ablation Ray" was exposed in the team match.

The "teleport" feature, developed based on the characteristics of the "small world," means that even if its principles are figured out, there is no need to worry about it being imitated or targeted.

Link was prepared.

"it is good."

Since the parties involved have stated that everything is fine, what are we still hesitating about?

Sandra manipulated the AI for a few moments, making several copies of the video and sending them to the cold, sinister man from Shadow City and the "scholars" of the White Tower Alliance.

Even the three-point wizard Vina received a copy.

If you've decided to ruin someone's reputation, then go all out.

The more people receive it, the more channels there are for dissemination, and the more people will learn about it.

It's just posting a video; it only requires a click of a finger and doesn't cost anything.

The University of Mesopotamia team leader watched helplessly as this unfolded.

Just like his henchmen, watching helplessly as they died, exactly the same.

"Sandora, tell your men to get out of the way."

Now that things have come to this, the University of Mesopotamia team leader just wants to leave this place that has made him lose face as soon as possible.

He felt he would suffocate if he stayed any longer.

"what?"

Sandra feigned a question, "Isn't the competition over? Once it's over, my position as team leader is automatically terminated, and I lose the authority to command them. What they want to do is none of my business!"

"What exactly do you want?"

The leader of the University of Mesopotamia asked with a sorrowful and indignant expression.

"I don't know."

Sandra still looked completely clueless. "You should ask them. Should I ask them for you?"

After speaking, Sandra turned to Link and asked, "Excuse me, Wizard Grand, is there anything you wish to ask me to convey?"

Everyone present could sense her deep respect for Link through her tone and expression.

This pose was undoubtedly deliberately staged by Sandra.

It's like telling the other party, "Look, I really can't order these people around; I have to talk to them nicely."

So if you want to leave, you have to be prepared to suffer a lot.

Unless you're confident you can carve out a path for yourself!

It's so frustrating to have your life force controlled.

Link understood and said, "I don't have any demands, after all, I'm the victor. I imagine the other wizards must have been quite frightened, so they should at least pay some compensation for their emotional distress."

Tiffany Colonna didn't let this golden opportunity slip by, and promptly spoke up, picking up the thread: "We were indeed startled, almost scared to death. They should at least compensate us with a hundred or so standard level-two magic stones."

The captain of the senior level-one wizard team, a burly, square-faced wizard who gave off a simple and honest impression, said in a low voice, "We were not only frightened, but also injured. We need to pay for emotional distress and medical expenses. It's not much, about two hundred standard level-two magic stones."

After a pause, the honest-looking wizard emphasized, "It's about two hundred dollars per person."

Jasmine sighed, pulled poor Buck over, and with a "gentle" squeeze, made a crisp cracking sound: "Look, all our men have broken bones, so a little extra compensation isn't unreasonable, is it? Three hundred or so standard level-two magic stones will do, for each person."

Apart from Tiffany, the others are a bunch of poor people who are envious of magic stones and would squeeze a toad dry.

This is such a great opportunity, it won't come again if we miss it, we definitely have to squeeze out as much profit as possible.

What's a hundred or so standard level 2 magic stones?

I felt guilty for not extorting standard level 3 magic stones.

"Did you hear that?"

Sandra raised her chin. "These demands are reasonable, aren't they?"

What a load of rubbish!

Taking a deep breath, the Mesopotamian University team leader suppressed all his emotions and expressionlessly tossed out five magic stone storage cards issued by the High Council: "Get out of the way."

Sandor stretched out her hand, took the magic stone memory card, checked its authenticity, and then tossed it to Tiffany: "You two can decide how to divide it among yourselves."

Seeing this, Link waved his hand gently.

The path that had been blocked for the four teams from the University of Mesopotamia was instantly cleared.

This behavior makes her seem more like a team leader than Sandra does.

Link earned the respect of other wizards through his own strength.

After all, he's a tough guy who can make even a seasoned level two wizard flee in terror!

No amount of respect is too much.

Let alone temporarily following orders, even if Link were on the front lines, he could still gain support by declaring that he wanted to seize power and usurp the squad commander.

Sandra witnessed this scene and suddenly understood her great-grandfather's determination to make countless enemies in the Michel district in order to secure promotion resources for her great-grandmother.

Great power comes from within, not just from empty words.

Rather, it is truly reflected in every aspect.

As long as one's own strength is strong enough, one can suppress all resistance.

The so-called situation of being surrounded by enemies will collapse on its own without any attack.

As they passed by Lucia and her companions, the leader of the Mesopotamian University team seemed to have forgotten the urgent message his attendant had been reading aloud in the spectator room.

He didn't care at all about Rukia, who should have been forcefully taken back by him.

They left in a hurry, their demeanor flustered.

"It's over, it's over."

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, the cold-blooded man from Shadow City shouted and then led the four teams from Shadow City away.

"I hope we can meet again soon."

The White Tower Alliance "scholar" waved to Link, "I hope that next time we meet, we can be best friends."

Link was completely bewildered.

He knew this guy was one of the five team leaders, but he had never dealt with him before.

Why are you being so affectionate?

I immediately got goosebumps all over my body.

Sandra then said quietly, "All his former best friends were made into specimens and placed on his bedside table."

Link felt a chill run down his spine, and a murderous intent arose within him.

Damn it, that's so perverted, I'll kill him next time I see him.

To avoid disgusting myself again.

The three-point wizard Vina remained silent, and quietly left with the tattered Flame and Metal Merchant Guild team.

"Let's go too."

Glancing at the bound Rukia and the others, Sandra said, "Take them back to the academy for interrogation and processing."

"I have no objection."

Link knew Sandra was asking him, and replied casually.

Whether or not Rukia and her companions are killed has no impact on the fact that the Palo Sages' Legion is trapped.

The group from Rivosos Academy quickly left the area.

Go through the portal, board the flying vehicle, and return to the academy.

After disembarking from the aircraft, the team dispersed and went about their own business.

Sandra, along with Lanny, escorted Lucia and the others to their trial.

Link had Jasmine take "Freedom to Do Anything" back to the Advanced Academy's residence to rest, while he himself drove the "Phantom Coupe" straight to Wizard Celine's North District villa.

"Did you kill him?"

As soon as Link entered the villa's living room, the witch Celine, with bloodshot eyes and a frosty face, asked him menacingly.

"The team competition started early; I didn't see any notification before I went in."

Shaking his head, Link spoke frankly, "During the competition, considering the academy's attitude, I didn't go all out. The individual competition was canceled because the other four teams withdrew."

"snort!"

The wizard Celine snorted, but not at Chonglink, but at the academy that Chonglink was concerned about.

All I heard was her indignant rebuke:

"The coordinates of the fairy world were given to Paro by the academy."

Aside from the senior management of the main campus and the deans of the two local colleges, only Paro and I know the exact coordinates.

The Rukia family doesn't yet have the ability to establish connections with the academy's main campus.

How did they obtain the coordinates of the fairy world? The thought alone sends chills down my spine!

"Be careful what you say!"

Ignoring the difference in their social status and their usual way of getting along, Link immediately straightened his face and reprimanded Celine when he heard her speak like that.

The witch Celine quickly realized what was happening.

The Paro Sage Legion still needs the academy to organize rescue efforts. Now, even if they want to vent their anger and say hurtful things, they should know when to stop.

If this offends the college's higher-ups and causes the rescue to be delayed or canceled, it would be a real loss.

Of course, this is a very extreme case.

"How's the portal doing?"

Seeing that the wizard Celine was gradually calming down, Link asked with a solemn expression.

"The portal to the rear camp is fine, but the portal from the rear camp to the forward base has been destroyed."

The witch Celine's tone was even more grief-stricken than before.

The destruction of the portal means that the only way to rescue and break the siege is to organize an interstellar fleet and launch a frontal assault on the Abyssal Demon army.

Almost all of Paro's direct descendants are in the legion.

For wizards who remained in their homeland, even logistical support was extremely difficult.

Where can we find an interstellar fleet capable of directly defeating the army of abyssal demons?

We can only place our hopes on the college.

The feeling of having one's life and death in someone else's hands is truly unbearable.

"How far is it from the rear camp to the fairy world?"

After thinking for a moment, Link asked this question.

"At a 'hummingbird' level speed, it will take about six months!"

The witch Celine gave Link a number that left him speechless.

"What about warp drive or jump drive?"

Link asked again.

"Warp travel takes only 26 hours, while jump travel is prone to encountering spatial turbulence."
