Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 91 The Bet

"Palo, long time no see!"

The resolute man walked to the center of the private room, immediately opened his arms as if to embrace him, and greeted the wizard Paro loudly and enthusiastically.

"Peter, you're still as flamboyant as ever."

The wizard Paro ignored the other's embrace, responded with a faint sound, and simply extended his right hand, ready to shake hands briefly.

"Haha...who told me to be born into the Lionel family?"

The resolute man, Peter, whom the wizard Paro had mentioned, also ignored Paro's outstretched right hand and laughed heartily, "Born with the power, status, and wealth that most people struggle their entire lives for, who else can boast if I don't? You?"

As he finished speaking, Peter Lionel's tone changed, becoming somewhat sarcastic and revealing a clear sense of contempt and belittling.

The wizard Paro's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Before the power of the universe, all authority, status, and wealth are like fortresses built of sand; when the waves crash against them, nothing is left."

Then, his tone shifted, and the wizard Paro smiled sarcastically, saying, "The two sages of the Lionel family have been trapped in the Tree Spirit World for thirty years now. I heard that recently, the academy was preparing to organize an expedition to conquer the Tree Spirit World and rescue Sages Henry Lionel and Elena Lionel, but your family actually called it off? How presumptuous!"

"Hmph! It's none of your business how the Lionel family behaves."

Peter Lionel's face instantly turned cold, his eyes seeming to spew divine fire that would scorch everything in the world.

If he hadn't been standing behind Wizard Paro, all the pressure from Wizard Peter Lionel would have been blocked by Wizard Paro.

Link felt that he might die on the spot if he came into contact with that gaze.

Peter Lionel, who can rival the wizard Paro, is naturally a top-tier level three wizard, and is about to be promoted to sage.

The Lionel family's confidence in rejecting the Academy also stemmed from Peter Lionel.

The Tree Spirit World is an extremely suitable world for water-type and wood-type wizards to live, develop, and cultivate, with a maximum capacity of level 5 sages.

The Lionel family's campaign against the Tree Spirit world has lasted for thirty years, and the progress has actually been quite smooth.

If Peter Lionel is promoted to Sage and organizes a third large-scale, coordinated wizard legion to provide timely reinforcements, the Tree Spirit World can be completely conquered.

At this critical juncture, how can we tolerate the actions of certain individuals within the academy's power structure and certain families who want to reap the benefits?

The Lionel family naturally did everything in their power to stop it and tried every means to halt the expedition.

The wizard Paro was deliberately bringing up a sore spot; with just a few words, he struck a nerve with Peter Lionel.

After all, the Lionel family couldn't stop the academy's actions without paying a price!

"Of course I'm not worried, but..."

The wizard Paro's smile widened. "He doesn't care about the people he should be worrying about, and he even has time to invite me out for entertainment. Tsk tsk..."

Link didn't know how others would react to those words.

All he knew was that his impression of the aloof and taciturn wizard Paro had shattered.

It turns out that when it comes to verbal sparring, the wizard Paro can be just as talkative, sharp-tongued, and sarcastic.

Peter Lionel exhaled a heavy breath, suppressing the anger provoked by the wizard Paro, and regained his composure: "I can come out for leisure and entertainment because all the resources I need after my promotion are already prepared, unlike someone who still has to rack their brains to save money!"

The wizard Paro seemed completely unfazed by being hit where it hurt. Instead, a proud expression appeared on his face. He spread out his hands, examined them carefully, and then said with utmost seriousness, "Earning money with my own hands is nothing to be ashamed of!"

Wizard Peter Lionel was speechless for a moment.

This statement has a source.

Before founding the Rivosos Biological and Medical Academy, the Great Sage Rivos and the Great Sage Soss were without family support or powerful backing.

One day, Rivo, a wizard who had not yet been promoted and was still in the sage stage, responded to the mockery of a mortal enemy from a powerful family in this way.

Peter Lionel realized that he had only intended to mock the wizard Paro as a poor, miserable wretch, but the other man's words had led him astray, and he now subtly mocked the great sages Rivo and Soth.

"snort!"

Wizard Peter Lionel glared at Wizard Paro, somewhat annoyed, and snapped, "If you're going to chat, then talk properly, stop rambling!"

The wizard Paro smiled, not pressing the other party for the slightest linguistic flaw.

He just wanted to disgust the other person.

Verbal attacks won't kill anyone.

"Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense anymore."

Wizard Peter Lionel walked to the main seat on the left side of the box and sat down. He waved his right hand and changed the subject, "I have two things to ask you to do here today."

The two wizards who accompanied him each found their own seats, their faces expressionless and cold throughout.

"you say."

The wizard Paro also took his seat in the main seat on the right side of the box.

Celine the Wizard and Cody the Wizard sat to the side and behind Paro the Wizard.

As for the wizard apprentices on both sides, they naturally stood behind the wizards.

"The first thing,"

Peter Lionel raised his right index finger. "We've been fighting for so many years without any result. Now that we're both about to become sages, we'll be fighting abroad for decades or even centuries to come. We'll rarely be able to return. Why not settle our scores once and for all?"

"Can."

The wizard Paro calmly agreed, "How will this be resolved?"

The person who knows you best is often your enemy.

When Paro received the invitation, he had a general idea of ​​what Peter Lionel wanted to do and how he wanted to do it.

He not only prepared himself mentally, but also made preparations in terms of talent reserves.

Standing behind him were Antoine Hilton, four key members of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Society," and Link Grand, who were there to deal with the contest that Peter Lionel was about to propose.

Sure enough, Peter Lionel said, "The feud between you and me began with the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Society' you founded and the 'Pure Blood Will' I founded. For decades, both organizations have continued."

Formal battles between wizards are strictly controlled by the academy and are not easy to wage.

The two organizations will compete based on the number of personnel they have at the two junior college campuses.

As for the specific competition content, let's set it against the results of the major competition between the two districts next summer.

The competition between the two districts is not an exam, nor is it a format where one subject is tested before moving on to the next.

Instead, it's a comprehensive evaluation with diverse formats and randomly selected questions.

Or give the wizarding apprentices participating in the competition a research topic.

Or give the wizard apprentice an opponent.

Or throw the wizard apprentice into a specific environment...

In short, the competition is about the ability of wizard apprentices to explore and solve problems based on their own knowledge and witchcraft.

"Okay, what's the prize?"
