I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland himself returned quite late, and his route passed through the Black Forest, so he didn't want to attract trouble.

But those few night watchmen came over and stopped Roland.

"Stand there and don't move, raise your hands so we can see them," said a night watchman with a scar on his face.

Roland obediently raised his hands, feeling a slight nervousness in his heart, and thought about the words he had prepared on the way.

At this moment, a short night watchman frowned at the scarred night watchman, who hurriedly took a respectful half-step back.

"Jack, if I weren't here today, don't tell me you would still be searching this child at the entrance of the academy!" the short night watchman said with a hint of anger.

The scarred night watchman, Jack, respectfully replied, "Respected Professor Nadin, I wouldn't search him here, because he would run away.

So we'll tie him up in the interrogation room first, check all his belongings, and then slowly interrogate him."

He looked at Roland with a fake smile and said, "Apprentices returning from that direction at this time have either gone to the Forbidden Forest (Black Forest) or are researching demons.

Maybe they even killed their companions along the way. Anyway, they definitely have some secrets they don't want people to know. So, just rummage through his . . ."

Roland was almost scared to death after hearing this. He was right about everything!

"Shut up, Jack! The academy's rules have been changed for so many years, why are you still treating students with this old habit?"

Roland carefully observed these people and noticed that the badge on Scarface Jack's chest was the badge of the old Black Abyss School. It was a ferocious monster snake.

And the badge on Professor Nadin's night watchman hunting suit was the badge of the new Black Abyss Academy—a cute monster snake playing magical chess. It also had a white crown on its head.

It seemed that the scarred night watchman was a pure Black Abyss person—a standard black wizard.

And Professor Nadin was a white chess wizard who had recently joined the Black Abyss—a standard white wizard.

The scarred night watchman, Jack, was only a mid-level apprentice, but he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the professor's anger: "Sir, it is precisely because the school rules have been changed that I am doing this.

If it were before, I wouldn't bother playing this villain, hmph."

Hearing this, Roland's heart sank. He thought, 'Damn, they're just playing good cop, bad cop . I thought Professor Nadin was going to let me go.'

After hearing Jack's words, Nadin seemed even more angry: "No one asked you to play the villain! There is no rule in the school rules that allows you to search and interrogate students!

Don't say you have no evidence, even if a student is suspected, you must follow the procedure!"

Professor Nadin looked back at the truck not far away and said, "Go do your job. Those poor little unlucky ones have already annoyed me enough today."

At this time, Professor Nadin suddenly saw that the people on the truck side were moving those 'wood carvings' very roughly.

He cursed loudly, "You bunch of idiots! Move them gently! Those are human lives, how can you pile them on the truck like wood!

Put the statues of the magical creatures on the carriage, and separate the students—go find stretchers, find stretchers!"

Inside the big carriage, there was actually a pile of puppets, some human, some magical creatures!

After driving away the night watchmen, Nadin gasped for breath and cursed in a low voice: "Damn thugs, sooner or later I will pick out the black wizards among you and send them to Alaca Prison . The regulations should be changed properly, these guys will do anything to complete the task indicators and get rewards, regardless of right and wrong."

After speaking, Nadin looked at Roland.

There were many new students enrolled in the academy this year, but Professor Nadin knew almost every one of them. He recognized Roland as a new student at a glance, probably one who hadn't completed the procedures yet.

After sizing up Roland, Professor Nadin's face revealed a bit of kindness.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, child."

Saying that, Professor Nadin changed the subject: "I'm not targeting the Alexandra family, but I can smell the aura of the Black Forest, the scent of demons, and the smell of blood on you. So, do you have a permit to enter the Black Forest?"

After a pause, Nadin said, narrowing his eyes, "Murder can land you in prison."

Roland's heart trembled. He thought this was a saint, but it turned out to be a smiling tiger.

It seemed that the white wizards were not that simple. At least the white chess wizards could suppress the Black Abyss wizards, and there was a reason for that.

Roland directly took out the four classmates from his dimensional bag and rummaged through their packages for relevant items.

When rummaging through the female student's things, Roland looked at the contents and revealed an extremely strange expression.

After a while, he found the mission certificate and the temporary Black Forest entry permit in Helena's package.

Nadin's expression became much better, and he could roughly imagine what had happened.

He tapped Helena and the others with his magic wand, and then some soft bubbles wrapped them up. Then Nadin turned his finger in a circle, and several puppets disappeared into thin air.

"You are lucky, they have only just turned into this appearance and can still be saved—come, go to my office where I am on duty first. We'll talk as we walk."

On the way, Professor Nadin asked Roland about what had happened.

Roland confessed the first half of the story truthfully, but about the latter part, he said this: "Professor, I am a despicable coward. After Helena turned into a puppet, I knew things were not good.

My mind went blank at the time, and I only thought about escaping . I deserted."

After listening, Professor Nadin shook his head and said, "Child, abandoning your companions is a very shameful thing. But survival is human instinct, there is great terror between life and death. No one can calmly face the River Styx."

Nadin shook his head and continued, "No one will blame a rookie for seeking survival. Besides, you still chose to go back in the end . Although you ran back after a long time. But you went back after all."

Roland asked, "Professor, I have always had a question . Why didn't the Ballet Ghost follow me when I ran away?"

Professor Nadin smiled and said, "You don't think that demon was really just passing by, do you? She must have been nearby at the time."

Roland asked in astonishment, "Are you saying that she deliberately let me go?"

Nadin nodded and shook his head again. He said, "She has no reason to let go of a member of the Alexandra family. She probably wanted to put you last and planned to torture you for fun . But she was too arrogant, she foolishly joined the game. So she should have been entangled by the Ballet Ghost. Therefore, you escaped by luck."

After a pause, Professor Nadin said to Roland, "The old school workers all like Lilith very much. Especially the ballet troupe. No one can watch the performances as often as Lilith. So everyone likes her . You are very lucky, the Ballet Ghost doesn't like you, otherwise it would definitely pester you."

Hearing this, Roland's face suddenly turned ugly.

He thought to himself: 'Does watching performances increase favorability? Then what about dancing with it?'

Roland felt like he had gotten into big trouble.
