With the system notification, Keaton quickly understood that the quest Azula mentioned should be related to something outside of Soul Suppression City.
Sure enough, before Keaton could say anything, Sivir, who was sitting next to Azula, turned her down with an anxious look.
"How can that be! He's just a beginner mage. Don't you know how dangerous it is outside of Soul Suppression City?"
Mm? As expected!
Keaton's eyes lit up. He knew he had to get this mission today no matter what.
"Isn't it just going out of the city to collect some magic materials? It shouldn't be too far away. What can happen!"
Azula was different from Sivir. She had always believed that actual combat was the only way to test a student's abilities.
In her opinion, even though the current Keaton did not have the realm of a Rank 3 mage, he had the strength to match it, to be able to defeat eight intermediate mages at once.
From Audrey's description, Keaton was not only powerful, but he also had a heart that surpassed ordinary students.
With his personality, it would be unfair to him if he was locked up in school.
"Director, Keaton's situation is different from the other beginner mages. We can't treat students like him based on our past experiences."
"His combat power is very high. He definitely won't lose to those Rank 3 mages."
"It's not like our school doesn't have Rank 3 mages who go out of the city to carry out missions. You should agree to him this time."
Azula gently shook Sivir's arm. She didn't want her students to be flowers in a greenhouse, especially when Keaton was so talented.
"Even if his combat ability has reached Rank 3, it's still not enough. Rules are rules. As long as he doesn't become a Rank 3 mage, he can't leave the city to carry out missions!"
Sivir's tone was extremely stern, there was no room for negotiation.
"Can't you make an exception?"
Azula still didn't want to give up. She coyly shook Sivir's arm and whispered.
However, at this moment, Keaton, who had been standing silently at the side, stood up and smiled.
"Please let me go, Dean Sivir."
Without waiting for Sivir to reject him, Keaton revealed his true strength.
"Teachers, I'm actually already a Rank 3 mage."
"Although I just advanced yesterday, my magic power has already reached the late stage of Rank 3 mage. I really want to take this mission and contribute to Soul Suppression Academy!"
Sivir looked at Azula, then at Keaton, before smiling helplessly.
"Alright, I agree."
With that, Sivir left Azula's office.
"Looks like my guess was right. You really advanced to become a Rank 3 mage. That also makes sense. How can a mage who has just reached Rank 2 summon five creatures at the same time? Even if you really can do it, your magic power won't be able to withstand it."
"You lied to me after all. Tell me, when you advance?"
Azula looked at Kedan with a faint smile on her face.
After leaving Keaton's dormitory yesterday, Azula naturally had her suspicions towards Keaton's true realm.
But at the time, she wasn't sure if her thoughts were correct. So she'd taken the chance that Sivir wanted to see Keaton, to come up with this scheme to get Sivir to drag Keaton down.
"About half a month ago."
In actuality, Keaton really advanced to become a Rank 3 magus yesterday, and the reason for his advancement was especially violent.
It was due to the 300 mana awarded by the system!
However, in order to satisfy Azula's desire to win, Keaton still went against his conscience and pretended that he had already become a Rank 3 mage for half a month.
"Hmm, not bad!"
After hearing Keaton's answer, Azula's expression also relaxed.
"The mission this time is very simple. Your mission is to cooperate with the resource collection team and collect some magic materials."
"Take care of yourself along the way. Go early and return early. Don't embarrass me!"
Keaton nodded in agreement. However, in his heart, he was thinking that while he could go earlier, if would be a problem for him to return earlier!
...
After bidding Azula farewell, Keaton managed to find Audrey to tell her that he was leaving the city to do a mission.
"Keaton, how long are you leaving this time?"
Audrey was a little sad, but she knew she couldn't stop Keaton.
"I haven't left yet. Why, you cannot bear to leave me?"
"Who can't bear to leave you? If you want to leave, leave quickly."
Audrey nearly blushed and snorted before turning her head.
"After I leave, you're going to be the only one being trained by the demoness. Aren't you afraid?"
Keaton didn't comfort Audrey. Instead, he maintained his usual carefree attitude.
"Stinky Keaton, I'm ignoring you."
Audrey was furious at the thought of being focused on by Azula, the demoness.
Audrey put her hands on the ground and wanted to get up and leave the field, but she stopped just as she stood up.
Keaton was very astute. He knew that Audrey didn't wish to leave just like that.
"Actually, your talent is very good. Work hard and train, the future you will thank you for your hard work today."
Keaton was not lying. Although he did not have Azula's rich experience, his observation skills were very strong.
He had long discovered the abnormality in Audrey's body. Although he couldn't explain the reason for the abnormality, he was certain that it wasn't a state that ordinary people could possess.
"You only know how to lie to me." Audrey didn't believe what Keaton had said.
"If you want to leave, then leave quickly. I'll go back first."
After saying that, Audrey left angrily. As she walked, she shed tears.
"I wonder when we'll meet again after this farewell."
