Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 97 - 94 Peace of Mind_i

Chapter 97: Chapter 94 Peace of Mind_i

Translator: 549690339

Rivers is dead.

He died outright, in an incredibly casual manner.

His corpse isn’t quite reduced to ashes, but it is torn into disjointed pieces. Link looks at the remnants, astounded for a long while.

He’s just dead?

He’s f***ing dead?

He died so easily?

Link looks down at his preparations,

The “Defender 3202” apparatus, ready to activate at any moment; the great weapon in his belt, wrapped around with self-destructing fire thunder, and ten shields of Water Shield Spell inside his Sea of Consciousness waiting for “activation”…

So, all these preparations were for nothing, right?

Composing himself, Link didn’t hurry to leave the scene, instead, he took out his personal smart device, first notifying Wizard Palo, then applying for emergency assistance from the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet.

No matter what, Rivers Francis died at his hands.

Besides, it happened not too far from the academy.

This matter can’t be hidden from the academy, on the contrary, it must be handled honestly and transparently.

Not long after, two Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppets flew to the scene.

“Link Grande, please stay where you are and wait for the examination.” “Repeat!”

“Link Grande, please stay where you are and wait for the examination.”

One of the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppets circled around Link, issuing a warning, while the other scanned the scene.

Link Grande slowly raised both hands to show he wasn’t holding any offensive weapons, and then remained still.

Not much longer, Wizard Palo, Serene Wizard, and Wizard Cody arrived hand in hand.

“What happened?”

Wizard Cody took over the command of the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet scene as soon as he arrived, deactivated the caution towards Link, then glanced at the gruesome corpse, and asked in a deep voice.

This was him fulfilling the duties of the academy’s law enforcement head and the director of the academy’s dispute and accident investigation and mediation office.

Neither Wizard Palo nor Serene Wizard crossed the caution tape set up by the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet nor did they rush in on the issue.

‘Tm not entirely sure either.”

Link first spoke of his impression of the entire matter, then briefly described the process of the events

including the words spoken by Rivers Francis.

The academy was too close to the scene.

Who knows if there was any hidden surveillance.

Or if high-ranking official wizards like Wizard Palo had any witchcraft that could backtrack the event.

If one was caught lying, wouldn’t that lead to embarrassment and trouble? Considering there was nothing that couldn’t be disclosed, Link opted for transparency.

“Hmm…”

After contemplating for a while, Wizard Cody rendered his verdict, “If what you say is true, then the responsibility for this event doesn’t lie with you but is due to Rivers Francis being backfired by the incomplete ‘Rage Inferno Meditation Method’ and losing his sanity.”

He then operated on his smart device, concluding the matter and removing Link’s suspicion.

Wizard Cody exchanged a glance with Wizard Palo and Serene Wizard and said, “You go back to the academy first. Next time if you encounter stalkers, don’t be too reckless. Remember to notify the academy in time.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Up until now, Link still didn’t know what title to address Wizard Cody with, so he had to use generic formalities.

A real wizard doesn’t flaunt their name on their chest or head.

“Wizard Palo, Serene Wizard, I’ll leave first, bye.”

After bidding farewell to the two wizards, Link finally left the bloody scene and calmly walked back to the academy.

“What do you think about this kid, Cody?”

Wizard Palo waved his hand, a silent soundproof barrier quietly forming, enclosing the three of them.

“He’s a talent, worth nurturing.”

Wizard Cody stated bluntly, “Although he seems sincere, he is actually very cunning. He never tells lies, but he also doesn’t tell the whole truth. He is quite sly!”

“What about you, Serene?”

Wizard Palo turned to ask the Serene Wizard.

“Hmm… he has great talent, good comprehension, he is cautious yet not timid.”

Serene wizard recalled her contact with Link over the past two weeks, and then gave a detailed evaluation, “He learns very quickly in Botany, Potion Study, and Alchemy Pharmacy, and has a solid foundation. If we take further steps to nurture him, I might have another real assistant soon.

Moreover, from my observations, Link should have been a second-rank wizard apprentice for a while, but he’s been keeping it to himself. You could say he is steady or you could say he is adept at concealing his skills, it depends on how you see it.”

“Hmm.”

Wizard Palo nodded, not commenting or expressing his own opinion and feelings towards Link.

Neither Serene Wizard nor Wizard Cody pushed for more.

After all, the final decision lies with Wizard Palo. They only had to give their opinions as references, not probe further.

On the other hand…

Link entered the academy, reminiscing about the events that transpired tonight while walking.

Inside the potion shop, when Wizard Palo asked, “Can I count on your promise?”, it was a test, and Link’s response was quite good.

By taking no action to prevent the deadly duel among members of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, this could be taken as a warning from Wizard Palo to the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, perhaps even including Link. Link was uncertain how Wizard Palo saw it.

But he was clear that after watching the duel, he indeed felt that he could not easily defy or anger Wizard Palo.

The conversation between Wizard Peter Lionel and Wizard Palo was heavily loaded with information.

It included, but was not limited to, the Treant World, the wars of the heavens, “Pure Blood Will”, the betting pact of the two regions, and Wizard Palo’s attitude towards Serene Wizard and Wizard Cody.

The argument between “subordinates” and “partners”.

Combining all these factors, Link could infer that the partners in Wizard Palo’s eyes were definitely not something that average wizards could achieve!

It was also understandable that a dragon would not live with a snake.

What moved Link the most was the uncertainty of life.

A few days ago, Antoine Hilton had threatened Link and had a dispute with him over their beliefs.

Link thought he would have to defend himself against attacks from Antoine Hilton.

Who would have thought that Antoine Hilton would die on the arena tonight, his death meaningless.

Even Erick Francis, who was suspected of going mad after the duel and casually killed Antoine Hilton, died at Link’s hands.

The two kept arguing, but got nothing in the end.

It was truly a case where the vast world was left spotless and clean.

With a deep sigh, Link became even more determined to continuously improve his personal power.

Everything was just passing clouds, dissipated by the wind.

The true power lies within the self.

“Link, you’re finally back!”

As Link was contemplating, a clear call came from a distance.

Like a Jasmine wind, she ran over, threw herself into Link’s arms, her hands tightly hugging his back, as if wanting to crush Link, and take him into her body and into her heart.

Her voice choked, reproachfully saying, “Why did you only come back now, I was worried sick about you!”

Link spread his arms out, lifting them for a while. After hesitating for a while, he slowly embraced Jasmine, patting her back lightly.

His scheming mind suddenly became pure.

“I’m fine.”

Link stuttered a few times, finally swallowing back a great deal of words that had rushed to the tip of his tongue, saying only these three words.

However, these three words seemed to be full of magic. Jasmine, who was still shivering in Link’s arms, suddenly calmed down.

“As long as you’re fine.”

Only then did Jasmine react to what she had just done. She blushed and let go of Link, replying in a muffled voice.

She quickly retreated two steps, turned sideways, hanging her head, not letting Link see her face.

During a tea ceremony, Jasmine would have made more intimate actions without feeling embarrassed or flustered.

But when true feelings were exposed, she became truly shy.

Even just touching Link’s finger could make her blush for half a day.

Oh, feelings, what a mysterious thing.

After a good while, Jasmine finally calmed her emotions and started asking one after the other, “What on earth happened today? Why did Wizard Palo say he would take you somewhere? Do you know that Antoine Hilton, who went to the potion shop with Wizard Palo, died? I was worried sick about you, fearing that something would happen to you.”

Link caught an important piece of information from Jasmine’s questions, disregarding her numerous doubts, and immediately asked, “How did you know that Antoine Hilton died?”

Jasmine did not directly answer, instead, she took out her personal computer, made some operations, and revealed a hot post from the “Forum”.

The long title, emblazoned on the top, read, “Celebrating with enthusiasm

New Blood Mutual Aid Association’ vice president Rives Francis killing president Antoine Hilton”.

The poster’s signature was “Pure Blood Will”.

Reading the post, Link then understood the beginning and end of tonight’s duel of life and death.

It turned out that according to the regulations of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, before the midterm exams of the autumn semester every year, the president resigns once they reach fourth grade, and the third-grade vice presidents run for president.

Antoine Hilton refused to leave.

Not only was he reluctant to step down, he had already started to make moves in secret – forcing those eligible to run for president to either quit, violate the rules of the academy, or be directly injured.

The reason Erick Burnalis dared to conspire with Mina Havcheck against Rives

Francis was because of the support from Antoine Hilton, providing information and channels.

What should have been a straight-up conspiracy turned into chaos when it met Link.

After Link handled everything, Rives and Erick were in a civil war, fighting hard but also discovering Antoine Hilton’s actions behind the scenes.

With ruined prospects and no hope of ever becoming an official wizard, Rives

Francis naturally hated the instigator Antoine Hilton.

In order to be able to play his combat strengths and have a man-to-man 1V1 with Antoine Hilton, Rives sought out the sworn enemy of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, the apprentice organization of the North Campus “Pure Blood Will”.

What followed was what Link had witnessed himself. Under the pressure of

Wizard Peter Lionel, Antoine Hilton did not receive protection from Wizard Palo and had to fight Rives.

After reading the post, Link couldn’t help feeling that Wizard Peter Lionel was indeed a ruthless person.

His tricks were interconnected and followed one after another.

However…

Link also wondered in his heart, why did Wizard Palo let the situation develop according to the opponent’s rhythm?

Did he have other plans?

He should have a plan to retaliate, right?

It couldn’t be left as is..
