Kamar Taj, Training Square
In the usual training square, many Sorcerers conduct daily combat training and magic practice every day.
But today, a large number of Kamar Taj Masters, wearing standard yellow robes, stood and stared at the high platform not far away.
At the same time, at the edge of the training square, a red flame-colored circular portal appeared from time to time, and a Sorcerer walked out of it, entered the training square, and stood with the other Sorcerers.
"Have you heard? Kaecilius and the others have done something big, and this time the Sorcerer Supreme will come forward to commend them."
"I've also heard that Lawrence, the dark believer who has been wanted for many years, was killed by Kaecilius and the others."
"It's good that he was killed, but it wouldn't be enough for the Sorcerer Supreme to come out and commend them."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I found out that it was Kaecilius, Morin, and the others who defeated an evil god."
"Really? Are Kaecilius and the others that strong? There's no way they could be the opponents of an evil god."
"It is said that the new Master Lockhart, who joined Kamar Taj, played a huge role in it."
"Really? Are you familiar with this Master Lockhart?"
"I've heard of him, but I've never seen him."
"I haven't seen him either."
In the training square of Kamar Taj, you could hear the whispers of a large number of Sorcerers everywhere.
Most faces were filled with curiosity, praise, and surprise.
After all, Kamar Taj has protected the earth and subdued the dimensional demons for thousands of years, and the grievances and resentments among them are simply countless.
Defeating an evil god, even if it is just a clone, is enough to become the focus of the Kamar Taj Sorcerers and even earn their praise.
As time passed, a large number of Sorcerers were teleported to Kamar Taj one after another to participate in this commendation ceremony.
After some time, the number of Sorcerers arriving became less and less.
Suddenly,
clang! clang! clang!
A series of crisp bells rang, and at the same time, a transparent ripple covered the entire Kamar Taj, confining the surrounding space.
After hearing the bell and sensing the strangeness of the space, all the Sorcerers gradually stopped whispering and slowly became quiet. They all looked at the high platform in the center of the training square. To be precise, they looked at the four figures on the high platform.
At this moment, Lockhart, wearing a yellow robe of Kamar Taj's standard, stood in the middle, while Kaecilius and Morin stood on both sides.
Not far away, there was Master Bane, who looked slightly older. He had a serious face and a manuscript in his hand, standing on the high platform.
As if he felt that the entire square had quieted, Master Bane slowly spoke, and his serious voice spread throughout the training square.
"Masters of Kamar Taj, since the establishment of Kamar Taj, our purpose has been to protect the earth and resist the invasion of evil gods."
"And as the heroic Kamar Taj Sorcerers fought one after another, the greed and prying eyes of the dimensional demons on the earth were shut out."
...
Hearing Master Bane's solemn and lengthy introduction to Kamar Taj's purpose, history, glory, etc., Lockhart felt helpless in his heart.
In his previous life, he also participated in many celebrations, ceremonies, etc.
But none seemed to escape the lengthy speeches given by the hosts, including the previous Hogwarts opening ceremony.
It seems that this is already a custom shared by every world in the multiverse.
The Sorcerers below seemed unable to bear the lengthy speech and slowly began to discuss in low voices.
Master Bane on the stage seemed to sense everyone's emotions and began to speak faster.
Soon, upon hearing Master Bane's words, Lockhart, Kaecilius, Morin, and others felt a sense of anticipation.
"The evil god has never given up his gaze on the earth, and not long ago, Dormammu's spirit descended and attempted to invade the earth."
"Fortunately, three Kamar Taj Sorcerers noticed it and blocked it, so the dark evil god Dormammu did not come to the earth."
"They are Master Lockhart, Master Kaecilius, and Master Morin."
"It is precisely because of these three Sorcerers' hard work in blocking it that Dormammu's plan to invade was shattered."
"Now, let us give warm applause to the three Sorcerers for their heroic actions."
As he spoke, Master Bane began to applaud.
The Sorcerers below also began to applaud fiercely.
Putting everything aside, when evil gods came in history, it often required the sacrifice of a large number of Sorcerers to repel them.
If Dormammu had really come, they would most likely have had to fight against him, risking their lives.
"Next, I would like to invite the Sorcerer Supreme to come to the stage to speak and award rewards to our three brave Sorcerers."
Master Bane didn't need to say anything more, and the applause from below suddenly became more intense.
In Kamar Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme is a god-like existence. At many critical moments, if the Sorcerer Supreme had not intervened, the earth would have long been reduced to the playground of the dimensional demons.
As Master Bane's words fell, the figure of the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One appeared on the high platform.
Suddenly, all the Sorcerers bowed slightly to show respect.
Seeing everyone's performance, the Sorcerer Supreme waved her hands casually without saying anything. In an instant, all the Sorcerers subconsciously straightened their backs.
All the Sorcerers heard the Sorcerer Supreme say jokingly,
"I won't say any more lengthy words. Master Bane has already done that for me."
"Today's protagonists should be our three heroic Sorcerers, not old antiques like me."
"So, I won't say much, just a few words."
"Kamar Taj takes it as its duty to resist dimensional invasion. Anyone who has contributed to this goal will not be forgotten by Kamar Taj."
"I hope that in the future, there will be more Sorcerers like Lockhart, Morin, and Kaecilius to shoulder important responsibilities."
"Let us old bones have a rest."
At the end of the sentence, the Sorcerer Supreme's tone was filled with a hint of a smile.
But for some reason, Lockhart heard a glimmer of expectation. Recalling the performance of the Ancient One in the original plot, Lockhart felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, as the Sorcerer Supreme finished speaking, all the Sorcerers below, including Morin and others, applauded.
When the applause subsided a little, the Sorcerer Supreme lightly snapped her fingers, and in an instant, three medals floated in the air.
"The Medal of the Fearless is specially awarded to those Sorcerers who have made great contributions during the invasion of the dimensional demons."
"This time, these three Sorcerers played a huge role in Dormammu's invasion and nipped a huge disaster in the bud. They deserve this medal."
"A Sorcerer who wears the Medal of the Fearless can borrow library books without restriction and at the same time has priority to enter the Sorcerer's secret realm."
Lockhart felt slightly refreshed when he heard the Sorcerer Supreme briefly introduce the effects, or privileges, of the Medal of the Fearless.
Suddenly he discovered that with this medal, many of the difficulties he had encountered before were easily solved.
He even felt that through this award, he should be completely accepted by Kamar Taj.
"Now, let our three heroic Sorcerers wear their Medals of the Fearless."
As soon as the words fell, Lockhart and the other two felt the space shift, and they found themselves standing before the Sorcerer Supreme.
Then, the Medals of the Fearless floating in the air moved toward their necks.
The moment he wore it, Lockhart felt a strange energy pouring from the medal into his body, and then it actively refined the magic power in his body.
At the same time, the Sorcerer Supreme's words came to his ears.
"After the ceremony, the three of you will come to the treasure chamber to choose your rewards."
