CHAPTER 18: HEAD OF ACADEMY

Myro ran in the forest very fast. Myro ran like he was dodging something. A voice resounded in the forest at this time "To think you could know my whereabouts. You are indeed talented at detecting my presence even though you are just an apprentice wizard. But no matter how talented you are now you will eventually die here with my hands. ha ha ha".

Myro ignored the voice and continued to run away. Immediately Myro felt an approaching attack so Myro immediately jumped to the side. A pitch-black sword passed where Myro was running earlier and stuck in a tree. The tree immediately withered and died instantly. Seeing that Myro said in his heart "This is tier 1 magic of the dark sword. It seems that my enemy this time is only a junior mage level. For my current strength, it is impossible to defeat and take this walking purse".

As Myro was thinking, a figure approached him. The person chasing Myro was a young man with black hair and an extremely thin body. He held a wand in his hand and didn't wear a wizard's cloak on his body, perhaps so that his identity would not be seen. Because the magic robes had colors as well as badges that represented the magic academy they belonged to. The man looked at Myro with a mocking smile and said "Are you done running?".

Myro looked at the man and said angrily "Who are you? How dare you interfere with the student tests of the magic academy. Aren't you afraid of becoming the enemy of the entire magic academy?".

Hearing Myro's words, the man laughed heartily in the forest then looked at Myro sarcastically "You're still too young and don't understand anything. Listen carefully, the more talented a person is, the more people will want to get rid of him because it will only become threat in the future. Since you're going to die soon so I'll tell you something. I came to kill you because it's a direct decision of the Dark Academy. Even if the entire magic academy knew you died here, then what? They wouldn't be able to accuse them carelessly. without proof. After all why fight our great Dark Academy just for a kid like you. If you have a next life then remember this carefully, it doesn't matter how talented you are if your powers haven't developed it's all for nothing. Strong people and won't let you grow and become a strong enemy for them in the future, it's better to get rid of you faster. Well..... I seem to be talking too much, but now you can die without wondering why you were killed right?".

Then the man raised his wand and chanted "Form and destroy my enemy, the spear of darkness".

A spear of darkness appeared beside the man in a hovering state. The sharp blade of the spear pointed at Myro coldly. The man immediately said "Go forth, spear of darkness".

The spear of darkness advanced rapidly. Myro could only close his eyes in resignation. After all, the spear of darkness moved very quickly and Myro was currently just a tier 1 apprentice mage who couldn't compete with junior mages at all. But, unbeknownst to the man from the Dark Academy. There was currently a slight smile on Myro's mouth.

"How dare the Dark Academy send a junior mage to kill a student in the test, plant shield", suddenly an old man's voice boomed in the forest.

In front of Myro at that time gathered tree roots which immediately formed a shield in front of Myro. The spear of darkness immediately hit the plant shield and vanished in an instant like it was absorbed into the shield.

"Dammit", said the man who was a junior mage from the Dark Academy then turned back and ran very fast trying to escape.

"Who said you could run away", again there was a voice that filled the whole forest so Myro couldn't know the whereabouts of the person who spoke.

Immediately the vegetation in the forest began to sway slightly. Then the plant roots in the forest immediately broke the ground and shot very quickly towards the junior wizard.

️

Before Myro or the junior mage could react, the junior mage was bound by many plant roots. The junior mage tried to cast various dark magic spells. But all the mana in his body did not come out and continued to be sucked towards the plant roots that bound him at this time. Knowing that he couldn't escape the root, the junior mage immediately shouted frantically "Who are you? How dare you go against the Dark Academy. Even though you're a senior mage, if you kill me then the Dark Academy won't let you live".

Hearing the junior mage's threat, an old man with long snow-white hair appeared. The old man wore a white robe with a plant-shaped badge on the robe. The man floated in the air then landed next to the bound junior mage and said "I know that the Dark Academy is the best academy along with the Bright Light Academy. But I doubt they are. will try to kill me just because I killed their junior mage who committed an offense in the disciples' test".

Seeing the old man, the junior mage immediately said very frantically "Head of the Magical Plant Academy? No way, why are you here?".

The old man just smiled and said "I just happened to be passing by while going to the hot air balloon. But I didn't expect that I would feel the presence of a junior magician in the forest area which is the test site for students who will be accepted as new students in the magic academy. That's why I came to check. But it turns out that I caught a rat from the Dark Academy instead. Hah..... Your Dark Academy still hasn't changed. Often use foul methods like this, just like when you stole the Elf Wand".

The junior mage's face was filled with fear at this moment, he immediately shouted "Even though you are the head of the Magical Herbs Academy, but you still can't kill me. If you kill me, our academy head will definitely kill...".

Before he could finish speaking, the junior mage's entire body was crushed by the plant roots that bound him. The junior mage's entire body was crushed and he immediately died. The head of the Magical Herbs Academy looked at the corpse with a gaze filled with murderousness and said glumly "You think I'm afraid of that head of your Dark Academy".

After a while, the old man immediately moved his wand and the plant roots that bound the junior mage immediately separated and returned to the ground. A pouch that came from the junior mage immediately flew towards the old man. The old man did not open the contents of the pouch and immediately threw it at Myro and said "Young man, I think you will need the contents in the pouch to increase your strength. So I will give it to you".

Myro caught the bag the old man threw and was about to reject it. But before Myro could speak, the old man immediately waved his hand and said "You take it. Then I will go now. Don't let me down, young man".

Then the old man immediately flew in the sky very quickly and disappeared.

Myro smiled and said in his heart "Looks like Shar's plan is right. I don't have to bother taking the walking wallet. An old man will give it to me later".

Myro then started to walk away back towards where he lived in the forest before.
