The Lord of Ashes

After the battle on the stage, Thain went to class in the teaching building as usual the next day.

This time, no apprentice dared to be aloof in the face of Thain's move to dominate the middle row of the first row of the Fire Element Transformation Classroom.

Most of them had heard about yesterday's battle and knew who was the final winner.

In addition to being somewhat wary of Thain, a strong man who suddenly emerged from the academy, he was actually more curious.

He seemed to be a transparent person in the academy who suddenly rose up and showed such tyrannical strength.

Senior apprentice Mark also appeared in the classroom the next day, but what was different from yesterday was that Mark's arm was wrapped in a thick white bandage.

And when he saw Thain, he was no longer as arrogant as yesterday.

From the depths of Mark's eyes, one could still see that the senior apprentice still seemed a bit unconvinced.

It's just that the other party is not stupid enough to challenge Thain again now.

A temporary defeat is nothing. Mark is confident that he will have a chance to regain his place in the future.

Although after leaving the challenge stage yesterday, Mark had already learned from his grandmother Eileen that in addition to the flame knife as a killing move, Thane also held a top-quality magic wand in his hand that could instantly cast advanced magic.

If Eileen hadn't appeared in time, Thain would have put away the magic short staff.

Otherwise, even if Mark would not die from Thane's flaming knife attack, he would still be damaged by his acid cane.

After learning this secret, Mark couldn't help but be surprised and afraid of Thain, a senior apprentice who had always been low-key and unfamiliar.

Of course, the guy didn't exactly throw in the towel.

He thought that the only difference between himself and Thain was in magic equipment.

Whether it is an earth elemental shield ring or a strong acid cane, they are both rare and exquisite among high-end magic props.

If Mark is given another chance, he can target Thain's equipment in a planned way.

Or maybe he can get a few more top-quality props from his family that are not inferior to Thane's acid cane. The outcome is still uncertain.

Mark's idea is just his personal imagination.

Nothing in the world can be repeated.

He thinks that the only difference between him and Thain is the equipment, but there are formal magicians who paid attention to the apprentice battle.

The mage Irene and another yellow-robed magician knew that the real difference between Mark and Thain was his sense of battle and control of danger.

Even if Mark is given another chance, he will most likely not be able to defeat Thane.

The equipment gap is only secondary. More importantly, if Mark is given the opportunity, will he charge forward against the frontal bombardment of the group explosion technique?

This fierce and extremely bold fighting style makes people inadvertently feel the evil spirit radiating from the inside out from Thain, a handsome and gentle magic apprentice, and his determination to risk his life.

Faced with Thain's move to occupy his original seat, senior apprentice Mark finally just hummed and walked to the second or third row of the teacher with his two companions to sit down.

Not long after, Erin, the official magician, walked into the classroom at the right time.

The good-looking female magician walked straight to the podium without looking at Mark and Thain, who were the faint focus of the classroom.

He seemed to not care about the apprentice battle yesterday.

As Magician Erin opens her magic book, this class on the qualitative transformation of the fire element officially begins.

Thain also hurriedly took out his magic notes, ignoring the more obscure gazes of others in the classroom, and once again devoted himself to the study of truth and knowledge.

…

Magician Erin's fire element transformation course is not one lesson per day.

Many times, apprentices have to follow the tutor's schedule.

Because the academy gives out crystal balls to every new apprentice.

Therefore, apprentices can check the crystal ball information to know one day in advance whether the class they want to take will be taught by a formal magician the next day.

After Erin Magician’s fire element qualitative transformation course ended, the time came to the end of the month.

Thain received this month's challenge platform reward-a high-level energy crystal, an awakening potion, and two aylanthus plants that have some auxiliary effects on meditation.

For this academy reward, the average senior apprentice must be overjoyed, but with Thain's net worth... that's it.

The awakening potions and high-level energy crystals that can restore some mental power are of the lowest value, but the two aylanthic plants that can be used to burn to increase the effect of meditation are of higher value.

However, Thain, who inherited Moses' inheritance, is not lacking in this stuff.

He has always used higher purity ylang-ylang powder.

"Although one month's reward may seem inconspicuous, if I can receive this reward every month for a year, it will be a considerable benefit to me."

"Not to mention, the rewards for the top ten and top three are even more rare and precious."

"It's a pity that I'm not suitable to spend too much time on this now. The temporary strength ranking is nothing."

"According to Director Johnny, Magician Erin and others, the Regional Holy Tower Academy War eight years later will be a grand event for the apprentices to become famous, gain upper-level visibility, and earn huge profits."

"Now I should acquire knowledge and improve myself."

"In order to increase the magic and mental power values ​​to the quasi-mage level as soon as possible, the learning and improvement of the Eye of the Sun and other magic should also be put on the agenda." Thain sighed.

In addition, Thane has not forgotten his identity as an alchemist apprentice.

Whether it was for his mentor Moshe Duo or for himself, Thain could not give up the extremely difficult and time-consuming study of alchemy.

Not to mention, Thain has always wanted to briefly dabble in pharmacy-related knowledge.

There were so many areas of knowledge and expertise that Thane wanted to master.

The time schedule every day is so full that there is not enough time. He even wants to break one minute into two parts.

It's no wonder that Mark and other apprentices are curious about why Thain has been so silent and ruthless and has never seen him at any noble ball.

Thain is so busy with his own affairs every day that he has no time to attend any dance.

Even the challenge platform ranking rewards, Thain did not intend to take them.

He really didn't have the time to deal with those senior apprentices who were trying to take his place on the challenge stage.

Since the other party wants this term, just give it to him.

I don’t know about Thane’s thoughts and attitude. If Mark, who has always regarded Thain as his enemy since that battle, and studied Thain’s fighting skills assiduously in an attempt to defeat him, learned about it.

What impact and impact will it have on this senior apprentice?
