Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Chapter 427 Departure to the Blood Origin

On this clear morning, a dense fog began to rise, enveloping the entire East Capital in its mist.

“Big bro, why not take me with you? I've never been to the legendary Botta Blood Plain.”

“Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Ivan bid farewell to a reluctant Locke, and carried by a swamp ant, he left the Rapid Wood Tower and headed towards the familiar seven-story sorcerer tower on the eastern side of the city.

This seven-story sorcerer tower was actually Chairman Hadi's residence.

“Scholar Marichadon has arrived.”

When he arrived, the front of the tower was already crowded with people, all of whom had one identity–members of the School of Space, including Senior Enchanters and Enchantment Masters.

Among these people, some he recognized, and some he had never seen before.

However, most people knew him. Before Ivan even got close, he was recognized. As soon as he landed, people came forward to make his acquaintance, as if they were meeting their idol.

“Quadrant inspector, please look after us this time.”

“I've long admired your reputation; I am Sakri from the South Capital guild.”

Everyone present who was invited was an elite backbone of the Enchanters Guild. Facing them, Ivan didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he handled them properly and amicably, getting to know their faces.

After that, Ivan finally came to the East Capital Enchantment Guild, where people also greeted him one after another.

This time, the East Capital guild had brought a total of six people. For such a grand gathering, Angus, the Vice President who managed the School of Space, was naturally among the group.

Following him were Mendenez, Barny, Lui, and Yosef.

When Ivan was still a Level 2 Sorcerer, he had participated in a small appraisal competition within the school along with the latter three. Back then, he won the final victory with his piece, the pure “White Pupil.”

Those former rivals were now respectful, including Yosef, who had caused trouble in the past.

As for Mendenez, although he was a bit older, he was considered a 'late bloomer.' His status had risen only after Ivan's rise.

Mendenez had always gotten along well with Ivan, and under Ivan's occasional guidance, his understanding of space had improved by leaps and bounds.

Thus, it was not surprising that Mendenez had been invited this time.

“You're all quite early.”

In response to their greetings, Ivan glanced over them, his gaze pausing for a moment on Yosef.

For some unknown reason, Yosef immediately felt a terrifying power of deterrence, as if facing a natural enemy, which then dissipated as quickly as it had appeared, as if nothing had happened.

What he didn't know was that he had merely transplanted the eyes of a Star Realm creature, the star-patterned frog.

In front of him, however, stood someone with a pure Star Realm bloodline. The two were almost not on the same level; his meager Star Realm bloodline would naturally be suppressed. It was like a lower being encountering a superior one, involuntarily shivering with fear.

Although the feeling was fleeting, Yosef's face still turned a bit pale.

“Sorcerer Ivan, do you believe that this time Chairman Hardy will let you lead the team?” Angus noticed something and hurriedly spoke up to ease the situation to avoid others from making fun of it.

“I don't,” said Ivan, who did not take Yosef seriously. It was just a small lesson for someone who always avoided him.

“Uh–why so sure?” Angus was a bit lost, seeing how certain he was.

“I've never been to Botta Blood Plain, nor have I been to Sky Flow Valley; if I led the team, I'm afraid we'd get lost,” Ivan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Angus remembered that the man before him, despite standing out in many aspects, had always stayed on the Chanay Continent, showing remarkable restraint.

It wasn't that Angus had a poor memory; rather it was Ivan's strength and enchantment skills that gave a misleading impression, causing one to overlook certain things.

“That's no problem. I can assist you, you would just need to give the orders.”

“We'll talk about it later, Chairman Hardy has his own arrangements.”

Ivan could feel a change in Angus's attitude toward him, a newfound respect.

This was attributed to the Witch's Favor; before releasing the Black Demon Fire Silk Array, to repay Angus for his long-standing care, he had given Angus some special guidance by pointing out the key elements of the Formation.

As a result, Angus gained an advantage and managed to harvest some of the Witch's Favor, being one of the few Level 3 Sorcerers to receive such a boon.

This way, Ivan had not contradicted the guidelines set by the President.

With his substantial gains, Angus was naturally very grateful to him.

“Boom–Boom, boom.”

Before long, the seven-story sorcerer tower's doors burst open, and a pure cloud-white airship flew out, sleek and slender. From the bottom up, it looked like an elongated shuttle.

“This is Chairman Hardy's Cloud Shuttle, known for its speed,”

Angus explained in a low voice, and then saw Chairman Hardy appear on the deck, waving down to them.

The crowd, not daring to delay, orderly made their way into the Cloud Shuttle, waiting for the President's instructions.

“Depart!”

However, Chairman Hardy did not make any arrangements and directly ordered the airship to set sail.

The fact that Chairman Hardy was personally leading the expedition to Sky Flow Valley sparked wild speculation–perhaps there was some new development in the valley that warranted the President's investigation.

Of course, no one dared to ask; after the President returned to his quarters, everyone waited for the ship's attendants to assign rooms and settled down.

The Cloud Shuttle soared into the sky, swiftly passing through East Capital's protective great Formation, heading towards the distant lands, like a shuttle weaving through the lofty clouds.

Although Botta Blood Plain and Chanay Continent are both parts of the sorcerer world, they are not directly connected; it is similar to how the Moon Pincer Peninsula relates to the Chanay Continent, otherwise, it would be better to call the whole 'Sorcerer Continent'.

The Botta Blood Plain is even further away from the Chanay Continent; the terrain and conditions in between are more intricate and difficult to traverse.

But this time, with Chairman Hardy leading, none of these were issues, and no one aboard the Cloud Shuttle was worried about encountering any obstructions, including Ivan.

“Come in.”

“Chairman Hardy, you wanted to see me?”

After sailing for several days, Ivan was escorted by an attendant to Chairman Hardy's room where, once given permission, he entered to meet the President.

Having had several interactions during the matter of the Witch's Favor, Ivan did not feel overly restrained at this moment; he was well aware of the President's habits, who did not place much importance on various formalities.

“Do you know why I am personally leading the team?” Chairman Hardy asked with an inscrutable expression.

“Some have speculated that something unusual has emerged in Sky Flow Valley, that more extraordinary things will appear,” Ivan ventured after some thought.

“There is no unusual activity for now,” Chairman Hardy slowly shook his head and then spoke firmly, “It's because of you.”

“Me?” Ivan was astonished.

“Yes, you,” Chairman Hardy affirmed, “You have been targeted, and I am here to protect you on your way to the Botta Blood Plain.”

Upon hearing this, Ivan's complexion changed slightly; since it was coming from Chairman Hardy, it meant the enemy was no ordinary threat, but why would that be?

“There's another reason, you're the kind of person who loves to surprise others, and I must see for myself what astonishing things you'll do next. Sky Flow Valley is no ordinary place,” Chairman Hardy continued.

“I–I will try not to disappoint your expectations.”

Ivan's mind was in turmoil at this moment.

Leaving aside the strong enemy targeting him, his main reason for coming to Sky Flow Valley was in search of the 'Space-Locking Pearl,' and he had not expected to be entrusted with Chairman Hardy's high hopes.
