Chapter 272: Chapter 59: Massive Turmoil, Each Breaks their Defense_3
Jasmine accepted Link’s arrangement.
She held the reins of power.
But her mood was far from pleasant.
This arrangement symbolized Link’s trust and attention towards her, but it also indicated that Link had taken another huge step forward.
He was about to pull away from the Southern District, move away from the Junior Division, and head towards greater and farther places.
Grow further and further apart, just like this.
The autumn semester had finally arrived.
The various apprentice organizations in the South District noticed two significant changes.
The “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” had disbanded, and “Freedom to Do Anything” was recruiting new members.
Before these two changes could make much splash, a blockbuster news was officially released by the academy.
Link Grande, through strenuous efforts and a little bit of natural talent, had been promoted to official wizard during the holiday season. This was cause for celebration.
While congratulations were few and far between, envy and jealousy were abundant.
People who had interacted with Link, whether they were New Blood, local apprentices, friends, or rivals harboring disputes and grievances, showed different attitudes.
But undoubtedly, they were all utterly astonished.
Upon hearing this news, Lanny Taylor sat in the library for an entire day, reflecting on some matters and putting some thoughts to rest.
When she left the library late at night, she had removed her veil, revealing her stunning face with its slight flaws.
Looking up at the brilliant moon, Lanny touched the scar near the corner of her right eye.
This was a wound she got when she was nine years old, rebelling against her drunken stepfather and running away from the abuse, accidentally hitting a knife handle.
It was also her emotional scar and a past she was reluctant to face.
Today’s shock made Lanny let go of everything from the past.
She decided to bid farewell to her former self and fully commit to the path of being a witch.
Power belongs to oneself, everything else is just passing clouds.
North District.
Elise sat in the dorm window with her knees hugged to her chest, her shadow stretched long by the moonlight.
No madness, no irritability, only tranquility and loneliness.
She had finally found an interesting guy, a friend who was willing to play with her, a special guest who seemed to come from the world in her dreams.
And yet she was about to lose him.
She really hated this feeling.
It was as hateful as the feeling of watching a beloved blanket being forcibly thrown away by a loved one in her dream.
“Don’t let me catch you again.”
For a long time, Elise gritted her teeth and muttered resentfully.
She really wanted to splash him in the face.
Hawk Lucia and Bobby Smith sat across from each other in silence.
Their faces were filled with disbelief and bitter acceptance.
“Did he really just get promoted?”
Hawk’s lips trembled as he asked his friend Bobby.
“He really got promoted!”
Bobby’s decisive answer shattered Hawk’s little hope.
“We’re in big trouble now!”
Hawk couldn’ t help but howl in despair.
The academy will definitely focus on cultivating and protecting a genius who managed to go from apprentice to official wizard in less than a year.
How could the Lucia family be allowed to destroy him for their personal gains?
And considering Link Grande’s habit of returning an eye for an eye, he would definitely seek trouble with the Lucia family if he kept growing.
Bobby nodded, adding another stab to Hawk’s wound: “We’re certainly in big trouble! But it’s only the Lucia family’s problem, not mine.”
Hawk couldn’t help but glare at his friend who still found hilarity in the situation.
Sophie Lucia was smashing things in rage.
When she had smashed everything in her bedroom, she moved on to the study room.
After exhausting the study room, she targeted the living room.
After wrecking everything smashable, she curled up at the base of the wall, frantically tugging at her hair.
Why did Zoran Lucia suddenly disappear recently?
Others might not know, but how could Sophie not know?
The academy had urgently dispatched a mission.
At first, Sophie didn’t understand why, but now she knew.
It was to protect that country bumpkin, to prevent Zoran from irresponsibly making a killing move.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Sophie completely lost her composure and shrieked.
How did that country bumpkin get promoted?
How could he be promoted?
This is just outrageous!
