Chapter 397: Chapter 101: Sudden Shift_3
Link abruptly spun around, his gaze piercing into the corner where Christina had stealthily moved after Franda had left.
After a moment, Link gave up on his plan to strike.
The figure before him was not a real person.
“What’s the matter?”
“Telepathy” was used again.
It’s not that Link didn’t want to use the more secretive “spiritual link,” but the course of True Spirit Wizard in the Senior Division did not teach this witchcraft.
Regular channels also couldn’t find any related materials or literature about “spiritual link.”
It is said that you must join the True Spirit Wizard Union, a relatively loose organization, in order to get all the learning materials and learning permissions for “spiritual link.”
Christina nodded.
A wisp of black smoke appeared in the air, twisting and winding like a snake, outlining a few lines.
“This is my phantasmal clone, the duration is very short, so I’ll keep it brief.”
“I can give you all the information on the biological modifications I’ve undergone, and even a part of my flesh and blood for your research.”
“I only have one favor to ask you to help with.”
“Let my child be a normal person.”

As the black smoke writhed, Christina’s hands gently stroked her abdomen, her eyes radiating a motherly glow.
When they first met at the Starry Fortress, Link already sensed that Christina was pregnant.
He was initially surprised. Did Christina meet a good man she could entrust her life to?
It wasn’t until he saw the phrase “the one who modified her was swallowed by me” that Link was able to guess the rough details of the situation.
He chose not to delve into specifics, considering them merely distasteful affairs of the world.
Sins, disgust, indignation that could only be quelled by retribution.
Link thought for a moment before answering, “I can only do my best, but I can’t guarantee anything. As you know, reversing biological modifications is very difficult.”
Uh…
Indeed, it is very difficult to reverse.
For example, the Medical Department of Sage Palo’s army at the front line in the Fairy World was unable to reverse the deformity of the Fairies.
It wasn’t until Link took action that this was finally resolved.
“Okay.”
The black smoke outlined this word before it and Christina’s illusion disappeared together.
Link turned around and left the fire escape, finding the team that had moved forward considerably in his absence. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Peck, he watched the orderly search carried out by the Apprentice Team.
It was undeniable, Lanny Taylor was exceptional, even the Peak Third-class Wizard Apprentices who were on the verge of becoming Official Wizards were exceptionally outstanding.
Once in action, they all demonstrated their astute abilities and extensive knowledge.
Anything of value, especially carriers of knowledge and information, was completely confiscated.
Thankfully, the Academy was thorough in its planning, having provided a Space Storage Equipment for the Apprentice Team.
Otherwise, the final load would have overwhelmed all the members of the Apprentice Team.
There was a sudden loud bang.
Then the deafening sound of continuous explosions came from the direction of the Shadow City Team.
Lanny immediately reacted, issuing instructions: “Group one, expand the alert range; group two, move closer for reconnaissance; group three, continue the search; group four, be on standby to reinforce whichever group that falls short.”
“Yes.”
The team members answered in unison.
The Academy’s education system always had various ways to strengthen teamwork.
Either in courses or in extracurricular practice.
A classic example would be the annual competition for each grade in the Junior Division.
Except for a few one-on-one contests, most of them emphasized teamwork and confrontation.
When it came to the stage of the Senior Division, the internships conducted halfway through the advanced studies were all carried out in small groups.
Therefore, once the Academy’s Wizard Apprentices or Official Wizards entered task mode, they could quickly disperse and collaborate on execution.
The eighteen team members acted promptly according to the instructions.
Lanny then gathered the two vice-captains and said in a low voice, “We don’t know what’s happened on Shadow City’s side, but we must heighten our vigilance to prevent the worst-case scenario.”
After a pause, Lanny stressed, “I believe that from now on, we three need to be of one mind and be prepared to strike at any moment.”
She perceived the commotion on the Shadow City side as an important discovery rather than a danger.
And prepared for battle.
“Agreed.”
Luna and Gillian agreed with Lanny’s worst-case scenario.
Strike first and gain the upper hand, or strike later and face destruction.
Even if there were no significant discoveries on the Shadow City side, and even if Shadow City was in danger, preemptive attack could always secure an advantage.
As for the two leaders on the opposing side, they had their own leaders to deal with, no need for them to worry about it.
What they needed to do was to win this exchange learning.
The regular way was to compete for whose collected materials were more valuable.
Launching an attack and eliminating the opponent was also a victory.
The academy only looked at the results, so they would deliver results.
No matter how it was achieved.
