Chapter 79 The Madwoman
There were nearly a hundred corpses.
Yaz, Alsda, and Rafi's group threw the corpses into the mass grave and then simply buried them to prevent the stench of decomposition from affecting everyone.
A large number of low-level magical artifacts were displayed in front of everyone as if they were worthless trinkets. Both Yatz and Alsda's groups seemed indifferent. At the level of top wizard apprentices like them, ordinary low-level magical artifacts were simply dispensable.
On the contrary, Raffi and the others, being newcomers with mental strength not even reaching 40, each picked out a few small items. Green also took a small ring, which had the same function as the Joyful Spring Necklace, increasing mental strength by 2 points before reaching its limit.
At the same time, something began to make Raffi and the others feel "melancholy".
Since the wizard apprentices of District 12 are equivalent to the sailors on the ship back then, and the wizard apprentices of District 19 are equivalent to the little guys before the Bloodsail Alliance was formed, then after a period of "selection", can the "elite" wizard apprentices left in District 19 turn the tide as long as they form an organization similar to the Bloodsail Alliance on the ship back then?
Even if we can't completely salvage the situation, at least we can be on equal footing.
If that's the case, taking the Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy's requirement to occupy 30 resource points as an example, an internal war would almost inevitably break out!
The six academy wizard apprentices in District 12, due to their backgrounds, mindsets, and upbringing, are incapable of further unity. Meanwhile, the wizard apprentices in District 19 have no internal conflicts; if they were to form a united organization similar to the Bloodsail Alliance…
If you think about it, it's not hard to understand the "hesitation" of Raffi and the others.
However, the so-called "hesitation" was soon broken by something else.
……
"We are both wizard apprentices of the Hourglass of Time, what do you mean by this?" A haughty and domineering female voice came from the earthen slope below the Red Crow Mine.
The woman was only wearing a few clothes to cover her body, revealing her curvaceous and sexy figure. Her long, fiery red hair fluttered in the wind, but her eyes held an arrogant and domineering look.
Green, who was hiding behind Raffi and studying the basics of lightning element runes, heard the voice and looked up in surprise, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
This person...
Isn't he the arrogant, domineering, and overbearing Son of the Sun during the newcomer trials?
To this day, Green still remembers that it was this wizarding apprentice named Mina from the Hourglass Wizarding Academy who single-handedly fought three "genius" wizarding apprentices from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy. Although she was no match for him, her domineering nature left a very deep impression on everyone participating in the newcomer trials. In fact, Green almost died at her hands back then, and Green's fiery physique at this moment was also obtained from her special constitution.
This dangerous woman is practically an amplified and upgraded extreme version of Lafite.
It was still Yatz's somber voice that rang out: "Heh heh, you say you're from the Hourglass Wizarding Academy, who can prove that? If no one can, then..."
No proof is needed!
A chilling female voice, like that of an icy abyss, suddenly came from behind Mina. Everyone's eyes blurred for a moment before they heard a loud "bang," and a large amount of ice mist and rubble scattered, and the air seemed to suddenly become much colder.
Yaz transformed into a wisp of black smoke and reappeared dozens of meters away, staring in horror at the spot where he had just been standing.
The giant rock hand protruding from the ground was completely shattered by an inconspicuous ice spike, leaving only a bare arm covered in frost. This sight sent a shiver down Aitz's spine. He thought of the super-level powerhouse from the Hourglass of Time, the legendary figure unchallenged as the number one on the Top Ten Masters list—Ice Age, Millie! (She shares the same name as someone who never appears in Bingham's catchphrase; let's just consider it a different surname.)
Even among the top ten experts from the six major wizarding academies, there are three different levels.
The first tier consists of those ranked fifth to tenth in Black Tower. Their strength is based on Grin's peak combat power before he acquired the talents of Bibi Leona and Yunli (during his peak period before undergoing the Mixed Poison Body Refinement training).
The second level consists of the leaders of the four major organizations of Blacksota, a level that is already capable of barely contending with the Academy's "Guardians".
As for the third level, only two people from the six academies have emerged in the past nine sessions. While these two cannot withstand the suppression of natural power by formal wizards, their overall strength is enough to rival that of a first-level underground body-refining wizard! (Underground pure body-refining wizards lack the ability to suppress natural power, and the suppression of natural power has little effect on pure body-refining wizards.)
It could even be said that, before the emergence of formal wizards, these two legendary wizard apprentices were the humanoid "guardians" of the academy!
Millie, from the Ice Age of the Sands of Time, was one of those two legendary wizard apprentices.
"Impossible! Ice Age Millie? A wizarding apprentice as powerful as you should have been sent by those great wizards to one of the fifteen resource-rich areas in the war zone. How could you possibly be here?"
Yatz's sharp voice sounded somewhat incredulous.
"Oh? You know me...?"
The voice of Millie, which was originally chilling, now sounded indifferent and bored.
"However, I don't know you. Never mind, I'll introduce you later. That guy is in the central area; although I don't like him, he's quite strong. As for why I'm here, well, it's because of my sister."
"younger sister?"
Aldas recognized Ice Age Millie instantly, and couldn't help but look at the hot, arrogant, and domineering red-haired girl who had spoken earlier.
Green and his group were unclear about the level of these higher-level wizard apprentices, but they all instinctively sensed that Ice Age Millie was an extremely powerful person.
In fact, because of Eagle Eye during the previous rookie trial, Raffi had just recognized the Son of the Sun's identity, but hadn't had a chance to speak yet.
"You are Aldas, the Sword of Light of Blacksota, aren't you? Your wings of light are very mysterious."
After scanning the crowd, Millie only recognized Black Sota, who was ranked fifth among the top ten masters, Aldas.
Aldas said solemnly, "It's just that it's a little more survivable."
Mina, the Son of the Sun, gave a disgruntled snort and said calmly, "We can't..." She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly freezing, as if she had discovered something extraordinary, and exclaimed in surprise, "Grimm?!"
"Um?"
Grimm recognized the surprise in the Sun Child's voice and was puzzled. He had taken her trial reward; what was this surprise all about?
The fact that the Son of the Sun was like this naturally surprised everyone else, who all turned to look at Green, the wizard apprentice who had been hiding behind Raffi and wearing a pale mask, even though he wanted to keep a low profile.
Millie stopped Mina, who was about to leave, and asked, "What happened?"
"He's one of my men. This wizarding apprentice is the only male in my cohort from the six academies that I can actually take a liking to—he's the guy from the trial I told you about last time!"
The Son of the Sun was incredibly domineering, as if he were taking away something that rightfully belonged to him.
Millie said coldly, "Feelings between wizard apprentices? That's not good... If one can't become a full-fledged wizard, isn't the other destined to grow old alone? Sister! I won't allow you to..."
"Sister, it's none of your business how I conduct myself!"
The Son of the Sun then declared arrogantly, "Even if he can't become a formal wizard, I will keep him for myself and not let anyone else have him. Because he belongs to me, he is mine!"
After saying this, the Son of the Sun walked directly toward Green, completely ignoring everyone around him.
It was as if everyone around him was just an extra for Green.
Raffi, Josephine, Yorkriana, Robin, and Bingham all changed their expressions, with Raffi turning around and staring intently into Green's eyes.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes seemed to ask, "What's going on? Why would she say that?"
Green, of course, had no idea about the Son of the Sun's psychological state in the interrogation room years ago. As someone who was somewhat lacking in emotional intelligence, he himself found it difficult to understand why Raffi would fall in love with him, let alone the Son of the Sun's unconventional path.
The lack of human emotion is a problem faced by many wizards.
However, the Son of the Sun's intention is not love; it is blatant possessiveness, much like the mentality of collecting treasures.
However, just as the Son of the Sun and Green were a few steps apart, and just as Raffi and his group were about to erupt, a strange and attractive reaction suddenly made the Son of the Sun and Green's entire bodies tremble!
The Son of the Sun stopped in his tracks, and both he and the previously puzzled Green showed a moment of ecstasy before snapping back to reality, looking at each other with horror and disbelief!
This attraction...
This is the attraction between two bodies reborn from the ashes!
A wonderful attraction!
How could bodies reborn from fire attract each other?
If this attraction were between a pair of opposite sexes, it would certainly be wonderful, but if it were between Green and Mina...
Green clenched his fists, his expression turning cold: "How can mental will be constrained by mere instinctive reactions!"
"Impossible! This is a body reborn from fire?"
The Son of the Sun's expression changed, his gaze towards Grimm as if he were looking at a demon. He roared, "Impossible! This is the aura of the Fiery Body! Impossible! I am unique, and both my sister Millie's and I have unique talents! You imposter! You are a fake! I will not allow this second Fiery Body to exist in this world, you imposter! I will kill you!"
Suddenly, Mina's gaze toward Green changed, almost instantly transforming from surprise into fear and hatred. This inexplicable shift was almost unacceptable to some!
This woman...
She really is a crazy woman; Bibi Leona was absolutely right back then!
Green's expression also changed slightly. If a battle were to break out at this moment, he would be in the weakest state during the poisoning period of the Mixed Poison Body Refinement, and he wouldn't even be able to exert half of his strength, which is only the strength level of Raffi at this moment.
