Giant Golden Fleet,
"Hmmm," Lydia Burke raises her eyebrows in surprise. She saw the black fleet of the Yellow River Academy flee from this place.
"What about their casualties?" She asked.
The old mage behind her quickly understands the meaning behind her words. He replied, "Only four of their wizards returned safely."
"Oh, so 2 of them have died!"
Lydia said to herself. The casualties count may seem insignificant compared to their loss. But initially, they had sent 6 wizards to the ruin.
Which was low compared to their 20 wizards.
"Did they know about the dangers of the ruin?" She said in her heart.
Lots of questions appear in her heart. But in any case, the sudden leaving of the Yellow River Academy troubles her mind.
She decided to investigate further after going back to their place.
Giant Ax Fleet,
"Those cunning [email protected]," Wilbur Balard said to himself, looking at the disappearing black fleet in the sky.
Seeing that they left as if nothing had happened. Wilbur felt something suspicious. Like the Yellow River Academy had some prior knowledge about the dangers.
When this thought struck his mind. He felt it was more likely to be possible. Then he shifted his gaze towards the golden fleet.
For the outside world, both the Weapon Palace and the Royal Force Hall are on peaceful terms with each other.
But only few forces are aware of a conflict of interest between them. Considering the wizards leading the team this time. Wilbur decided not to contact the vicious woman for information.
She might or might not be able to answer his questions. Even thinking about it his heart boils in anger. Wilbur made up his mind to leave as well.
When it comes to investigation. He decided to leave it to the higher-up decision. There are a lot of people in the Weapon Palace who have some personal connection with the Royal Force Hall.
Maybe they can help us with this problem.
Shortly after, these two big factions left the area as well.
....
(From MC's Perspective)
I'm staying in my room instead of going out to meet others. It would probably take 2 days as well to return.
So in the meantime, I plan to read some wizard books. But before that, I should send some text messages to Sister Carolina and Senior Gilbert.
Both must be waiting for my news. Then I started to type content regarding our safe return. After sending it out, I began to access the academy site to read some news.
When I opened the social media page. Many topics popped up. Suddenly a few of the topics caught my attention. Because these topics are about wizards who went to the mystic ruins.
Seeing that I began to read the post. Most of them were speculating about the treasures inside the ruin. Even some of the senior students commented on the post.
After a few minutes, I got some understanding. It's safe to say that our trial has garnered much attention from the academy.
But they will be disappointed after hearing our reports. We decided not to reveal any news about the broken pendant. Otherwise, the people from the research hall won't give up any chance to retrieve the pendant from us.
Dok~
When I was lost in thoughts. I heard knocking on the door. I got up from the bed and went to open the door.
Creak~
The face of Don Cline appeared before me.
I asked," What is it?"
"Mentor asked us to submit the passes we have collected," Don replied.
"Alright, you can go back. I'm coming after a bit," I said to him.
Don nodded before leaving. Seeing his disappearance, I said to myself, "I almost forgot about the ranking trial."
After facing all those things inside the ruin. I guess the ranking trial feels meaningless to me right now.
Then I looked at myself in the mirror and combed my hair before walking out of the room. Everyone must be gathered at the main cabin right now.
Realizing this, I walk toward the main cabin.
When I reached the spot. I see three of them standing before the mentor.
Wizard Lion Heart saw Vincent appearing. He gestured to him to come.
I then walked up to my classmates and stood beside them.
"Vincent, give me your passes. And let's see your ranking?" Mentor Lion asked.
Hearing that I gave him the pendant-like passes.
At this moment, the gazes of Don, Eva, and Lara turned toward Vincent as well. Everyone has indeed acted as a team in the last few days. But before that each started alone inside the ruin.
So three of them are eager to see Vincent's passes' count.
A quick gleam flashes in Lara's eyes. She had collected 23 passes after killing and injuring the hostile wizards. Including the passes collected from the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace.
Wizard Lion quickly counted the passes. In the end, everyone's eyes filled with surprise. The number of passes Vincent collected was only 16. Which is less in numbers compared to Lara White.
Even Eva and Don had collected 12 passes each.
"That's it," Wizard Lion uttered in surprise.
Seeing his expression, I revealed a bitter smile on my face.
"Mentor, I have told you before. I didn't meet anyone in the starting days of the ruin," I said.
My words sounded reasonable and the mentor nodded his head in understanding.
"The overall ranking of the ruins might take a few days. But here it's easy to decide the rankings."
"Lara White is ranked 1st. Followed by Vincent 2nd in rank. And finally Don and Eva shared the 3rd rank " Wizard Lion said.
Hearing that I showed no emotion. As I had expected before Lara had the upper hand. Anyways the rankings won't change anything for me.
As long as I meditate properly. I will naturally hit the limit. Then I will challenge the battle tower at that time.
"Alright you guys can leave. We will reach our academy in two days," Wizard Lion said.
Hearing that we walked out of the main cabin.
