Accident

In the quiet wizard academy's power testing room, Raymond sat cross-legged on the floor, restoring his depleted mana through meditation.

After mastering Death Coil, Raymond only needed to consume 4 points of mana per day to have an activated protective force field at any time. However, due to the inherent attributes of the spell, Raymond was at a complete disadvantage when facing fire attribute spell attacks.

This absolute suppression of opposing attributes required level to offset.

But with this protective force field, Raymond intuitively understood the huge difference between a second-level apprentice and a third-level apprentice.

As he gathered his mind before entering deep meditation, Raymond sighed. "There will never be a perfect spell. The generation and restraint of attributes have always been so, much better than nothing at all..."

After sighing, Raymond fell into meditation. The room he was in belonged to the wizard academy to provide power testing places for students. Although each room was not large, it had strong protection.

Unless permitted by the inside person, no one could break in.

This was a place where anyone could freely cast spells without worrying about potential threats when their mana was exhausted.

But as the academy's strongest defended place, the fees were extremely expensive. The cost of staying inside for one day was a low-level magic stone.

Although Raymond now had over seven hundred low-level magic stones, he was not confident about half the cost that might be required for promotion.

If it weren't for the necessary power testing of this spell, he wouldn't want to spend the money.

As Raymond entered into meditation and fell completely silent in the room, only Raymond's faint breathing sounded. The active substances in the environment entered Raymond's body through his filtration, slowly improving his body.

But as time slowly passed, the droplet-like beep of the chip rang after a long time, and Raymond slowly awakened from his meditation.

"Raymond: Power 1.8, Agility 1.4, Constitution 1.9, Spirit 7.2, Mana 21.8. Gene: Improving. Physical condition: Healthy."

After routinely checking the data at the end of each meditation, Raymond got up and opened the door of the testing room, and walked straight out.

Walking down the long corridor, Raymond, who was in a very good mood, was almost scared to death when he suddenly saw a figure appearing in his line of sight as he turned the corner of the corridor!

A red long skirt, golden long hair fluttering in the air!

Without hearing any footsteps at all, Raymond was bumped into by the person who suddenly appeared from the corner.

The stiff Raymond fell back, and the golden long hair covered Raymond's line of sight, preventing him from seeing the person's face clearly.

The intense palpitations made Raymond's muscles tense, but then the woman's choked scream came from Raymond's arms, and the startled Raymond suddenly realized the soft body and familiar voice in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She scrambled up from Raymond, but as soon as the woman apologized, they recognized each other at the same time.

"Martina?"

"Raymond?"

Martina's red and swollen eyes turned from white to red in an instant, but for some reason, her face turned ashen in the end.

Startled, Raymond got up, and since it wasn't the little girl in the red long skirt again, Raymond relaxed. But before he could ask, Martina quickly apologized and immediately passed through the corridor behind Raymond, disappearing.

This inexplicable encounter left Raymond puzzled. As he watched Martina disappear, Raymond soon heard hurried footsteps, and a sturdy youth appeared from the direction Martina had run in.

Raymond's pupils shrank, and this time he clearly saw that the youth who ran over quickly was Martina's cousin Hubert. But the angry and grief-stricken expression on his face confused Raymond.

Hubert shouted as he jogged over. "Raymond, have you seen my cousin Martina?"

Without saying a word, Raymond pointed down the corridor behind him, but Hubert, who seemed impatient, passed directly by him, even losing basic etiquette, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

Seeing this, Raymond shook his head with a wry smile and had no desire to find out. He went directly to the management office of the testing room, paid the fee and prepared to return to his residence.

But as Raymond approached the castle where Edgar the Wizard was, he saw a familiar figure again, hovering at the gate of the castle.

"Rebecca?" Raymond asked uncertainly with a calm face.

With a startled "Ah!", the girl standing with her back to Raymond at the door was frightened by Raymond's call. When she turned around, her face was pale.

But when she saw it was Raymond, a blush crept over her cheeks. "You almost scared me to death! I've been looking for you many times but haven't run into you!"

Seeing the girl standing gracefully at the door, Raymond smiled awkwardly, also somewhat embarrassed.

Rebecca, who had taken care of him on the ship, was a year younger than him, but her frank and lively personality was lovely, often reminding Raymond of his personal little maid left in Port Kaiton when he saw her.

Meticulous and patient, although not particularly beautiful, Rebecca's gentle temperament was unique, arousing the feeling that she needed to be taken good care of when interacting with her.

With a smile, Raymond soon stood in front of Rebecca and asked, "Why are you waiting for me here? Do you have anything to find me for?"

Not yet recovered from her fright just now, Rebecca patted her chest and complained coquettishly, "Your mentor is famously bad-tempered. How dare I stay on the top floor? Of course, I can only try my luck standing at the door!"

With rosy, playful expression, standing close to Raymond, he really couldn't help but flick Rebecca's nose!

This abrupt intimacy startled Rebecca. Her beautiful eyes widened in amazement, and her startled expression also made Raymond realize his impulsiveness.

An awkward atmosphere spread. As Raymond was thinking of how to resolve it, Rebecca suddenly giggled and stretched out her fair hand to grab his...
