Betty Davis lowered her head, hiding her face under the brim of her witch’s hat. Both her hands were clasping the hem of her robe, her small fists clenched tight.

Philia tried to break the tension:

“Let’s first go to the guest room. I’ll explain the situation to you.”

Gardner waved his hand in dismissal:

“No need for that. I don’t want to waste time on pleasantries. Each second we linger here subtracts from our training time in the Elemental Realm. The longer we dilly-dally, the more we lose. You get what I mean? Well, probably not, considering you only have two rings…”

Kevin elbowed his companion to cut him off and courteously interrupted:

“Don’t mind his ramblings, Philia. We were reassigned here on short notice and had to interrupt our training in the Elemental Realm. So Gardner is understandably disgruntled. Just give us the task orders you’ve prepared. We need to get back soon.”

Philia fumbled around in her magic pouch for a moment and pulled out a scroll made from magic parchment.

With a snap of his fingers, Gardner extended a thin ribbon of fire from the Elemental Fire Sphere on his left shoulder and wrapped the rolled parchment with it. He unrolled it in front of himself and Kevin.

Gardner and Kevin read through the order book on the parchment, discussing quietly.

Kevin murmured:

“A Soul-stealing Wizard and a Mental Wizard. The strength of the Soul-stealing Wizard is undetermined, but it shouldn’t be too strong, likely below three-ringed. The Mental Wizard is a Wizard Criminal named Samuelson, possessing a non-combat strength of seven rings.”

Gardner let out a dismissive scoff:

“A seventh-ring Mental Wizard. Sounds intimidating, but in reality, Mental Wizards are generally useless in battle. The mutually destructive battle methods of the Mental Wizards, ensuring they could never become fight specialists. I estimated that this so-called Samuelson, the seventh-ring Mental Wizard, at most, probably only has the combat strength of three rings. No wonder the academy dispatched us two, each merely five-ringed Combat Wizards to assist.”

Gardner and Kevin exchanged a look, slowly nodding in agreement about the enemies’ probable strength level.

Gardner stashed the order book into his magic pouch, tilting his chin towards Philia:

“Take us to the entrance of the underground passage now. We’ll head to Black City immediately.”

“Don’t you need some preparation? There might be other Wandering Wizards in Black City…” Philia asked, leading the way.

Gardner replied offhandedly:

“No preparation is needed. We will just eliminate all illegal individuals in the Black City.”

Philia was taken aback by his casualness. She opened her mouth, hesitated, and then asked:

“Are you that confident in your abilities?”

Gardner and Kevin chuckled as if they’d just heard something funny.

Gardner responded with laughter:

“Philia on the edge of the world, when you step out of this backwater and enter the Ulnas Circle, you will understand. The powerful beings you see here are merely foot soldiers in the outside worlds beyond the Gold Island.”

A bit miffed, Philia then asked:

“The Black Bones of the Blackbone Hermit have high elemental resistance, and other Illegal Alchemists in the Black City are much the same. How are you planning to deal with these enemies with high elemental resistance?”

Gardner waved his hand dismissively:

“Your understanding of ‘Elements’ is too superficial, Philia. But of course, I understand why. You haven’t risen to the third ring, naturally you can’t comprehend the essence of Elements. Surely, you don’t think that elements are merely for casting Elemental Energy Beams, or for wielding the wind, water, or fire, do you?”

“Then what else can it do…” Philia muttered.

Gardner and Kevin showed no intention of indulging her with an answer.

Kevin merely smiled in mockery.

“You’ll find out once you rise to the third ring. High elemental resistance of the enemy does not mean we lack methods to fight them. Surely, Union City’s Alchemists aren’t stuck merely casting Elemental Energy Beams, right? That would explain a lot. It’s indeed difficult under such circumstances to produce three-ringed Elemental Wizards,” Gardner shrugged.

The group fell silent.

They swiftly made their way from the rooftop to the third underground level of the castle.

There, they found a vertical passage that led to the tenth underground layer of Sector 8. Philia would usually take this route when she needed to quickly check on the status of the magic mouse nests.

Gardner and Kevin turned themselves into a floating fireball and a transparent water sphere, respectively, and flew into the vertical passage.

Looking at the rapidly retreating fireball and water sphere, Philia sighed:

“Sigh…I’m really unlucky. I haven’t found a way to use the crystal key that my teacher gave me. Without the crystal key, I can’t rise to the third ring…”

Watching the fireball and water sphere disappear into the shaft, Betty Davis sneered:

“Hmph… What’s there to be so arrogant about… Isn’t it just because they happened to be born in the Ulnas Circle…”

Philia gently stroked Betty Davis’ hair:

“Alright, Sandra, don’t be angry. What they said is true, the Gold Island is indeed too remote. Come on, let’s go back to class.”

The two left the underground and headed to the classrooms on the castle’s second floor, putting the two Combat Wizards in the corridor far from their minds.

“So, the Combat Wizards of Elemental Judgment have arrived…That’s rather timely.”

At the 59th underground layer of Sector 6, inside a dark, cluttered warehouse, Noland Lee thought about the arrival of the Combat Wizards after Denise Green told him about the opening of the teleportation gate. He then cut off his soul perception with Denise and retraced his thoughts about the Combat Wizards.
