Yilke, a low-level Dark Magic apprentice, was very poor. Or rather, there were no wealthy people in the low-level wizarding circle.
Apart from a pale mask that could pique Sain's interest, Sain ultimately only found a low-level Crystal Stone of Power of Elements that had already been half-consumed and a dozen or so Mosobla City universal currency, Black Gold, that had been burned by strong acid on Yilke's charred and corroded body.
"It seems that this dead ghost did pretty well in the plantation. He actually had an energy Crystal Stone on him," Sain muttered softly, holding the orange-colored Crystal Stone in his hand.
Unfortunately, it was an earth attribute Crystal Stone, which was not very compatible with Sain's fire-based magic.
After Sain collected his spoils, the people who had heard the commotion had also arrived one after another.
At this point, there were more than ten Dark Magic apprentices appearing on both sides of the road in the White Raven Forest.
The number of Mosobla City's Dark Magic apprentices was not large, but it was not small either.
The reason why these Dark Magic apprentices were able to arrive so quickly was not only because of the large fluctuation of advanced magic just now, and Yilke's miserable scream before he died.
There was also another reason, which was that this White Raven Forest was relatively close to the dormitories where the apprentices lived.
During the time when the public courses of the academy were not open, except for a few magic apprentices like Sain who would venture out to carry out tasks at the risk of their lives, the majority of magic apprentices spent their daily lives meditating and accumulating Magic Spring in their own residences, or spent a certain amount of academy points to go to the public library to borrow relevant magic books.
The residual element ripples belonging to advanced magic made the ten or so magic apprentices who came one after another stand a little further away from Sain, pointing and whispering.
In the Black Magic Academy, the strong were respected and strength was everything. These magic apprentices in front of Sain generally only had the strength of low-level apprentices, and there were even a few newcomers who had just started learning magic.
Naturally, they did not dare to approach Sain, who had just produced high-level magic ripples, too closely.
Among them, only one apprentice was an exception, a female apprentice with long, light yellow hair. Her tall figure and shiny leather boots made her look confident and oppressive even though she was wearing a black robe.
There are only a few prominent figures in the Black Magic Academy, and Sain happens to have heard of the female apprentice before him.
Lilyanya, a senior magic apprentice, is one of the top ten powerful beings in the apprentice circle of the entire academy.
She, like Sain, is a special apprentice formally taken in by the Dark Magician.
The only difference is that Lilyanya's mentor also holds the title of Vice Dean of the Academy.
"Oh? The Acidic Wand of Strength made by Lord Mosido. Why is it in your hands?" Lilyanya, who arrived on the scene, ignored the charred corpse and walked straight up to Sain to ask.
Lilyanya is much older than Sain, and with her tall stature, she is half a head taller than Sain at this moment.
Facing the question from this senior apprentice, Sain put away his Magic Short Wand and respectfully answered, "I have been taken in as an apprentice by Lord Mosido, and this is the gift he gave me personally."
Lilyanya is obviously not on the same level as Yilke, who was just killed by Sain.
Facing the question from this powerful apprentice with a background, Sain dared not show any negligence.
After hearing Sain's answer, a hint of regret appeared on Lilyanya's face.
There is no doubt that this powerful Dark Magic Apprentice has already had the intention of killing for treasure just now.
If this Magic Short Wand was a task reward that Sain received from Lord Mosido, Lilyanya would have no qualms about killing Sain.
The proverb "a guilty conscience needs no accuser" applies here.
But since Sain has already been taken in as an apprentice by Lord Mosido, even with Lilyanya's status and position, it would not be appropriate to forcibly take the wand from Sain's hands.
Others may not know, but Lilyanya knows that Lord Mosido is notorious for being protective of his apprentices.
Moreover, with the Alchemist identity that Sain possesses, even if Lilyanya's mentor were to meet him, he would have to be polite.
Although she cannot take the wand from Sain, Lilyanya clearly has no intention of letting Sain off easily.
She gave a light chuckle like a snake and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, but the low-level apprentice you just killed was highly valued by Master Katherson, who is responsible for the plantation."
"Although he has not yet formed a formal relationship as an apprentice with his mentor, it is only a matter of time before he is taken in by Master Katherson. "
"This includes the low-level magic mask in your hand, which was also a gift from Master Katherson to him." Lilyanya laughed.
Lilyanya's chuckle made Sain's previously calm face turn very bad.
Sain unwittingly provoked a powerful Dark Magician, which was no less than a calamity in Mosobla City.
The only thing that put Sain at ease was that he had become an official disciple of Mosido, the Great Master.
He hoped that Master Mosido could help him resist the pressure from Master Katherson, who ran the plantation.
However, despite this, being targeted and opposed by a Dark Magician still made Sain extremely nervous.
Lilyanya caught the changes in Sain's expression.
Since there was no other benefit, the woman was not interested in staying here any longer.
"clang clang clang!"
As the sound of her boots hitting the ground grew fainter, her figure gradually receded.
The low-ranking apprentices who had gathered nearby did not dare to block her path.
Although Lilyanya had left, it did not mean that Sain's troubles were over.
Dark Magicians did not mind the apprentices fighting with each other, but if they killed each other within the academy, there would still be trouble.
A half-meter-tall owl with jet-black wings descended from the sky. In terms of elemental aura and pressure, it was even more powerful than the senior apprentice Lilyanya from just now.
This was the Overseer responsible for maintaining order in the academy.
Only when a fatal incident occurred would these owls hovering in the sky above the academy come down to handle the situation.
"Apprentice! You have violated the 17th rule of the Mosobla City Academy of Dark Magic. According to the request of Dean Dadalon, ..." A sharp and strange voice came out of the owl's mouth.
But before the owl finished its long speech, Sain had already taken out the token that Mosido had given him - the Magic Medal - from his pocket.
The appearance of the Magic Medal made the sharp voice of the owl Overseer come to a sudden halt.
After all, these academy rules were established by the official Dark Magicians.
As an apprentice of a great Dark Magician, Sain killing another low-ranking apprentice with no significant background was not something that the academy Overseers wanted to get involved in.
Not to mention, Sain added, "As for this sudden incident, I acted in self-defense, because he attacked me first."
