A Sorcerer's Journey

Chapter 596: Apprentice Task

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Sorcerer General Meeting ended after two hourglasses.

Of course, the so-called end of meeting meant that the entire plan involving Level-1 Sorcerers had been laid out and they had taken their leave, while the twenty or so Level-2 Sorcerers and Academy Deans stayed back, discussing and arranging every single person’s plans and tasks.

Naturally, Grimm received a lot of attention.

Regarding the information about the three concealing Sorcerers that sneaked in, the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy had already been aware for more than ten years now, but they could do nothing about it, and it had indirectly caused them to lose completely at war during the last Sorcerer-Apprentice enrolment period, the number of Sorcerer-Apprentices they had recruited was not more than one hundred people.

As Grimm killed one in hiding as soon as he had arrived at the academy, honestly this had caused the Academy Sorcerers that received the news to be extremely shocked. They were impressed, and this resulted in a considerable increase in Peranos’s reputation as he was the one who led Grimm into the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy camp.

“Grimm, for this round’s Academy War, your task is to give those from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy who are in hiding absolute terror, it will be even better if you can find them and kill them, you must not let them be so haughty and vain like they were last time. Let them know that not every Sorcerer that leaves the academy is a prey!”

Deidarion spoke in a serious face.

Compared to Master Peranos, this Master seemed a lot more exhausted, the official dean of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy was Master Deidarion, this meant that the responsibilities that he needed to take on were much heavier.

“Understood.”

Grimm accepted the task and answered deeply, the pair of eyes filled with light of wisdom and coldness under the Mask of Truth distorted like water ripples, and without a trace, the Robe of Representation hid his presence and he disappeared,

A few Academy Deans who were not paying much attention widened their eyes, or squinted them, attempting to sense Grimm’s traces, but except for a few people, most of the people had become stiff.

He concealed himself and disappeared in front of everyone!

As for the few people that sensed Grimm’s presence, and were tracing him, after seeing Grimm disappear with their own eyes, they tried to find any abnormalities, and they found some traces of elemental flow. Even under Peranos’ hot and cold gaze, using his infinity eyes, if the distance was slightly further away, Grimm’s body temperature would start to blend into the environment, disappearing without being noticed.

Grimm also possessed the hot and cold perception of the infinity eye, even though Grimm had yet found a way to perfectly hide from the hot and cold perception, he had already started to use elemental sorcery to hide with this awareness.

“When did Grimm start to walk toward the path of concealment sorcery, he’s developed it to such an extent.”

Under the withered strands of hair hanging down, Deidarion’s eyes looked sideways, as he asked Peranos quietly, but Peranos merely shook his head in response.

Deidarion then looked at Udon, but he saw Udon smiling with confidence, he knew that he had captured Grimm’s concealed trails, Grimm’s concealment still had great flaws against some perceptions.

The feeling of resignation was apparent in the hall as they were comprehensively subdued!

From the information that the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy received, it was stated clearly that there were three concealment Sorcerers hiding in the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, but the academy had always only sensed some small clues of the two Level-2 concealment Sorcerers.

As for the Level-3 concealment Sorcerer, the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy had yet to become aware of his presence.

It was very scary indeed.

***

Half a year later.

At night, the silvery light from the crescent moon scattered on the ground, going through the gaps of the branches that were swaying.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A male and female Sorcerer-Apprentice flew from the forests in low altitude, the identity of these two were very special, both of them were students that had been nurtured to the utmost by a Level-3 Great Sorcerer of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy for the past twenty years, their strengths were not something an average Sorcerer-Apprentice could compare with.

Among them, the Sorcerer-Apprentice was quiet, and he seemed quite stiff, riding on a wooden bird marionette, one of his arms was already remodelled into a mechanical arm, and his face had a dark complexion, belonging to the type that was not popular among Sorceress-Apprentices.

The Sorceress-Apprentice had a slender figure and black short hair, she was riding on a broom as a light breeze from the forest lifted her short hair, revealing a large red birthmark on the left ear of the Sorceress-Apprentice’s fair and clear face.

Cuckoo, cuckoo...

The cooing of a few cuckoo birds echoed throughout the forest, the Sorceress-Apprentice riding on the broom flying in front suddenly stopped, and landed on the ground.

“Sister Cana, there’s still a bit of distance to Moth Frog City, why did you stop suddenly?”

The wooden bird marionette hovered in mid-air, the Sorcerer-Apprentice with a dark face asked surprised, he felt a bit puzzled.

“It’s too quiet.”

The Sorceress-Apprentice said sombrely, causing the Sorcerer-Apprentice to also become serious and he climbed down quickly, the wooden bird automatically disassembled and became smaller, and he kept it in his sleeves, as he started looking around cautiously.

“You!”

Suddenly, the Sorcerer-Apprentice’s face flushed bright red, as his fellow Sorceress-Apprentice wrapped her arms around him, standing on her toes, and with her face stuck onto his, the alluring aura of the opposite sex permeated his whole body as he could clearly feel two lumps of warmth clinging tightly against his body.

“Sister, release me at once, what are you...”

“Don’t you like me?”

The Sorceress-Apprentice’s breath quickened, as she leaned into the Sorcerer-Apprentice’s ear and muttered entrancingly, causing blood to rush into the Sorcerer-Apprentice’s cheeks and ears, as his entire body stiffened.

Slowly, under the guidance of the Sorceress-Apprentice, the Sorcerer-Apprentice gradually turned around.

“Open your eyes, look at me, am I going to eat you? Hmph, you keep fidgeting with that marionette of yours, do you need me to say it first after all these years!”

The Sorcerer-Apprentice with a dark face felt restless and uneasy, obviously he did not know how to handle this kind of situation, all these years, as soon as he entered the Sorcerer Academy, he was always performing below average, after being assigned to the lecturer, he also received guidance that was strict, as he himself also hoped to rely on working harder to make up for his lack of talent and knowledge.

But compared to those Sorcerer-Apprentices from the same semester that were nurtured in secret, his strength was still too weak.

“Oh! Don’t...”

The Sorcerer-Apprentice who was forcefully kissed pushed the Sorceress-Apprentice away, looking at his fellow Sorceress-Apprentice whose eyes had turned red, the Sorcerer-Apprentice was filled with regret. He resented himself for being disappointing, as he was not good enough for this fellow Sorceress-Apprentice.

“Don’t be like this, Amor is more compatible with you, I... I’m not good enough for you!”

“What kind of idiotic things are you saying!?”

Cana exclaimed, “All these years, you have been avoiding me, when are you going to act like a real man! Sorcerer knowledge is endless, but our lives are limited, and now the academy has started a war, we might even die tomorrow, and yet you still want to act like an ostrich like you have always been?”

“I...”

The Sorcerer-Apprentice could not answer, and he gritted his teeth tightly.

Clap, clap, clap, clap...

Just then, a loud and clear applause sounded, a flash of water rippled, and a few ten or so Sorcerer-Apprentices appeared, each and every Sorcerer-Apprentice possessed an awfully intimidating aura, the Sorcerer-Apprentice that was clapping stood at the front, he was wearing a skull mask, and he sneered, “Pardon us, you won’t wait until tomorrow.”

After he said so, the Sorcerer-Apprentice then turned around, speaking to a Sorcerer-Apprentice behind him that was tied up with ropes, “Amor? It seems like the girl that you are in love with doesn’t really care about you, hehehehe...”
