True Pride

Chapter 80 True Pride

Hundreds of solutions flashed through Green's mind, but he ultimately chose a safe and low-key approach.

Under the Body Transformation Technique, Green altered part of his life code structure. As a result, the Fiery Body was temporarily concealed within Green's life code structure, and the strange attraction he felt for Mina instantly disappeared.

Like eyes burning with crimson flames, Mina's fiery red hair was propelled into the air by powerful magical fluctuations, and the flames enveloping her body emitted astonishing light and heat, just like a small sun erupting on the ground.

Even though the mutual attraction between Green's fiery body and the other woman had disappeared, this madwoman still seemed determined to burn Green to ashes.

Faced with Mina's astonishing fluctuations, Yocris transformed into a werewolf almost instantly, holding a huge axe across his chest, his eyes gradually emitting an eerie green light, and his fangs faintly showing.

Robin then summoned the giant steel bristle and with a flick of his wrist took out a fist-sized fiery red bead, which was the Flame Fusion Bead from the rookie trial.

Without uttering a sound, Binghamson downed a bottle of potion in one gulp, and his body vanished from everyone's sight. Only a faint, elusive dark aura lingered around him.

Green's pale mask concealed his eyes as he stared directly at Mina, the Son of the Sun, the strongest among the newcomers during the trial, the woman who had almost killed him, and the domineering madwoman with a body reborn from fire!

Grimm's long golden hair was blown about by the heat emanating from the Son of the Sun, his eyes were even stung by the other's bright light, his wide robes fluttered, and the Pale Mask's defensive shield began to automatically drain Grimm's magic power due to the excessive heat emanating from the other.

Boom!

Grimm lightly tapped his magic staff on the ground and said calmly, "Son of the Sun, this place is no longer a training ground for newcomers, and I am no longer the newcomer who only knew how to run away. You are still..."

"Hahaha! Is that so? Green, you're confident you can take on me now?"

The Son of the Sun laughed arrogantly: "Since you're so confident..."

"Halt! Son of the Sun, if you dare take another step forward, this will be your burial ground!"

Suddenly, Raffi pulled Green behind him, just like he had done on the ocean liner before, "protecting" Green.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the golden key that Raffi held aloft, radiating intense spatial fluctuations.

The brilliance of this golden key even began to overshadow the light and heat of the Son of the Sun.

"The Key to Friendship with the Stigmata!"

Yaz let out a hoarse cry of surprise, staring at Raffi in disbelief.

Although Aldas didn't know the specific abilities of this golden key, the spatial fluctuations it emitted were simply too astonishing...

The Child of the Sun also had no idea what this so-called Key of Friendship was. Although it emitted spatial fluctuations that terrified wizard apprentices, the Child of the Sun paid no attention to her own and her sister's boundless confidence, nor did she show any sign of stopping. Her excessive arrogance had made her somewhat irrational, or rather... foolish.

The Son of the Sun laughed arrogantly, slowly extending one hand, as if he was about to engage in a fierce battle with the entire Raffi Squad.

"Enough! Mina, stop!"

In a flash, Ice Age Millie appeared beside the Child of the Sun and grabbed her hand.

Mina was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed drastically. She glared at her sister with immense anger: "What are you doing? I'm going to kill this guy!"

Millie narrowed her eyes and said, word by word, "I won't allow you to act up again!"

"My business is none of your concern. I'm going to kill this guy today!" Mina roared.

"Hmph! You didn't obtain the rare rune of the Undying Flame Soul Master, and your father's elemental magic is only half-baked. He hasn't even reached 40 in mental power. Mina, do you want me to teach you the rules of the wizarding world today?" At this moment, Millie's tone was somewhat chilling.

There was a long silence, and the atmosphere was even a little too oppressive.

"Fine! I'm leaving!" the Son of the Sun shouted, shaking off his sister's hand and turning to leave. He didn't even intend to stay in the Crimson Crow Mine any longer, nor did he care about any mission. He was completely spoiled and willful.

Unlike Mina, Millie wore a loose robe, the standard attire for a wizard apprentice from District 12. Although she had a face that was very similar to Mina's, she had long, silver-white hair and a diamond-shaped ice crystal energy body in the center of her forehead, which seemed to contain astonishing frost power.

"Put away your Key of Friendship. The spatial fluctuations inside only offer two more opportunities. You don't want to waste one here, do you?"

Millie gave Raffi a serious look, but didn't seem to care much, as if she had her own trump card.

Raffi sneered, "Back in the Trial Grounds, rumors circulated that the Son of the Sun was a madwoman. Now it seems your sister's nickname wasn't for nothing; she truly is a madwoman!" After her sarcastic remark, the sharp-tongued queen put away the golden key.

"My sister's affairs are none of your business."

Millie glanced at Raffi and said coldly.

The two women didn't get along, but neither wanted to start a fight, so they restrained themselves and neither said anything more.

At this moment, Millie tossed her long, silver-white hair, turned to look at Green, and her indifferent expression revealed a strange interest.

Millie said, "The feeling of being reborn from the ashes just now was definitely real. No wonder Mina was so agitated. To get so much attention from that crazy girl, you really are something special. So, could you tell me the name of that ability?"

Millie wasn't even sure if Green had just used witchcraft or some strange talent.

Beneath the pale mask, a pair of calm eyes stared directly at the woman with long silver hair, the woman whom tens of thousands of wizarding apprentices from the six major wizarding academies looked up to, the woman known as the legendary strongest wizarding apprentice of the Ice Age, as if the story wouldn't end until he spoke.

Finally, Green calmly spoke, "Green's Three Secret Great Spells!"

"you!"

Millie paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "A spell named after yourself?"

Even Raffi, Joseph, Yorkriana, Binghamson, and Robin were hearing about Grimm's magic for the first time. Wizards even need magic stones to exchange knowledge, let alone magic.

Aside from mentors and disciples, few wizards would pass on their unique magical arts to others, hence the shocked expressions on their faces.

A wizard's apprentice who created his own witchcraft?

This kind of thing is like an ancient legend to ordinary wizarding apprentices. At least for wizarding apprentices in District 12, they have never heard of anyone who did not use the endless wisdom left by the ancient wizards, but instead painstakingly studied new witchcraft on their own.

Yatz and Aldas also looked at Green in disbelief, the guy who had been "hiding" behind Rafi ever since they arrived at the Chiwu Mine!

Just what level of strength does this guy possess?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems...

It seems that Green has never actually made a move. He always seems so low-key, spending his spare time researching something on his own, just like a guy with severe autism. He is completely a supporting character, an insignificant passerby among wizards in a wizarding apprenticeship.

Even Aldas has begun to disregard Green's status as a target on the kill list.

But now...

Even though this guy has always kept a low profile, like a supporting character, he is still like a gem hidden in the soil, and he will eventually be discovered.

Yatz and Aldas couldn't understand why someone with such great strength would be so low-key, why they wouldn't show themselves and gain the respect and status they deserved.

In the wizarding world, the ability to create one's own magic signifies knowledge and wisdom, which in turn represent power.

Green remained standing quietly, maintaining his low-key demeanor, showing no intention of flaunting himself or showing off, as if he had never cared about other people's opinions or so-called "status".

Yes, Green doesn't need others to understand him, nor does he care to be understood.

A person who gazes at the highest peaks of mountains and rivers has a fulfilling heart. For the most sublime and sacred goal and ideal in their heart, loneliness and solitude are just the most basic sacrifices. Status and fame are simply irrelevant. Incredible hardship and fatigue are the basic main theme of each day. The countless thorns and obstacles on the road of exploration are spiritual food that stimulates the soul. Long-term fatigue fills all the senses of the body at every moment.

This is the most basic thing that a truly powerful wizard who dares to explore the unknown, forge history, and strives for the highest glory must consistently give up.

A wizard with a strong inner self doesn't need to be understood, nor does he care to be understood!

Green's only focus was on the sole peak of the Holy Tower qualification battle; everything else was merely fleeting. Only the one who reached that peak would receive the highest honor and the greatest reward from all wizards in the wizarding world.

This honorary reward is not differentiated by the wizard's level, making it the only truly "equal" place in the wizarding world.

To date, this is the highest secret that Peranos, as a third-level archmage, has told Grimm, one of the highest secrets of the wizarding world that an ordinary wizarding apprentice would never come into contact with in his entire life.
