CHAPTER 499: CHAPTER 248: BURIED BENEATH_3

Of course, in reality, no one would classify a "sun" that shrouded the entire arena as the Fireball Skill.

Thus, "Who is Old Sen" became the focus of discussion among students and teachers.

No one knew where this Elemental Shaper who used Fireball Skill like Meteor Skill came from; he certainly wasn’t an academy graduate. This question persisted until the turmoil in the Imperial Capital subsided, and the identity of this mysterious Elemental Shaper was finally made public.

A kind and friendly person, everyone’s good friend, Old Sen.

This was the general impression of Old Sen among the Imperial Capital People, but for the academy, he held another more important identity—Lindong’s student.

He was probably the only one who mastered Lindong’s theory.

Unknowingly to Ethan, he changed the academy’s thousand-year-old glorious tradition with just a Fireball Skill scroll, and his name made its way into the new rules of various academy competitions, adding an extra rule to all events involving carrying magic scrolls: "Old Sen Magic Scroll Shop" is excluded.

But this wasn’t a competition; it was a war between the Mole Club and the "Black Demon King" Franky.

Using the Old Sen Magic Scroll Shop as a backup energy source should be permitted.

However, some students who witnessed the duel months ago expressed concern, "Do you want to demolish the school? And it would cause numerous casualties, wouldn’t it?"

Despite their dislike for Franky and his cronies, they absolutely didn’t wish for anyone to get hurt.

The "sun" that lit up the academy sky a few months ago still left many with lingering fears. Had the principal and several instructors not acted together to make that "sun" fall on the dueling ground, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Actually, many reforms have happened at Old Sen Magic Scroll Shop, and it has now officially changed into a Magic Technology Store."

The noble girl clenched her small fist, full of fighting spirit. She had been silently following this magical store, "The shop has launched many interesting and practical magic devices, and we can also customize some practical magic scrolls based on spells recorded in books, which will surely catch those in the Disciplinary Committee off guard!"

"So, it seems you’re a regular customer at that store?"

The young man was somewhat surprised.

"My father acquired a membership card there and previously ordered two electric wheelchairs from the Magic Technology Store, which were quite handy."

"I can help."

Rowena seized the opportunity and took out a card from the Magic Technology Store, "I happen to know the magician contracted by that store, just right to help you make connections."

"Really?"

The noble girl immediately showed an admiring look. She was from the Empire and had heard many legendary stories about Old Sen upon returning home. Being able to sign a magician in the Magic Technology Store must be a top-tier Great Mage, and she didn’t expect this new member to know such a prominent figure.

Even her father didn’t have the opportunity for direct face-to-face communication with the store’s signed master.

"Of course."

"Um, Nana, could you tell me what kind of person that Great Mage is?"

You’ve asked the right person!

Rowena beamed with delight, inadvertently raising her head, luckily the smiling mask concealed her growing prideful expression, "First, she is a stunning beauty with enchanting grace, that is for sure. Secondly, she has unparalleled talent in the area of magic, being the only Great Mage to ascend to a Saint over the centuries, not inferior to Lindong. But most importantly, she is charming and dashing, and her romantic history could fill several books!"

The students glanced at each other, the noble girl’s adoration seemed to freeze on her face.

"What? Don’t you believe it?"

"Believe."

It’s just...

Charming and dashing, a romantic history that could fill several books?

Such a description seems somewhat out of tune with their imagined mysterious and powerful Great Mage.

"Anyway, just list the custom magic scrolls you need and give them to me!"

......

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Franky, holding a lantern emitting a blue glow, stood before intertwined roots and recited an incantation. The ancient black vines slowly retreated before him, revealing an ancient passage buried beneath, with a pungent moldy smell emerging from the depths of darkness.

He didn’t hesitate, quickly stepping into the depths of darkness.

This secret passage hadn’t been walked for thousands of years, dating back to the First Epoch, before the outbreak of the Magical Addiction disaster.

The pale blue light illuminated his path, and elusive echoes seemed to linger in the depths of darkness.

The road behind him was sealed, roots once again covered the passage, and everything returned as is, as if he had never been here.

Almost no one knew he was once part of the Mole Club. This passage was something he accidentally discovered during an "adventure." Back then, he emulated Lindong and ventured into the forbidden book area but triggered an alarm, chased all the way here by an instructor who responded to the alarm, hiding and accidentally fell into this hole.

The space inside the hole was surprisingly large, like an underground labyrinth. From the layout of the labyrinth, one could vaguely see that many people once lived here, with spaces roughly divided where usually a simple bed would be placed, followed by bookshelves to store important research results.

However, all research results were destroyed.

At the end of the First Epoch, the academy principal made a difficult decision.
