Mr. Honorom is back!

Unable to care about anything more, Morin got up and ran out.

Mr. Honorom's office, yes, he knew, was there, a treehouse in the forest by the lake, which he had passed by more than once, and each time he couldn't help but knock on the door, and each time he stood alone in the doorway and slowly extinguished his expectations.

"Morin, you wait for us——!"

There was a shout from behind him, but the young man couldn't hear it clearly, and he couldn't stop.

You can't be wrong, Dean Fielding can't make a mistake in the course arranged......

The first time he ran like this after being promoted to a second-order mage, running with all his might, the magic power was forcefully dissipated and burned in his body, and the use of magic power too rough made his muscles hurt so much that he couldn't tell if he had hit someone else, his vision was too blurry, he just ran along the path and direction in his memory, running with all his might.

The treehouse.

He saw the treehouse, and he thought he would never have the courage to come here again.

"Professor Honorome!" shouted Morin.

"Ou-" There was a sharp pain in his feet, and he didn't know what he stepped on, and he threw himself down the stone steps in front of the treehouse.

His arm was scratched and his mouth was full of dust, but Morin didn't care, he busily wiped his eyes, and tried to look up at the treehouse that he had been to many times.

"How could it be ......?"

The boy's body froze.

In the blue eyes, all the expectations of the world turned into incomprehension.

Why......

Why is the door still full of fallen leaves, why is the window still gray and closed, why is the door still closed, why Uncle Honorom has not come out yet, I have already screamed so loudly......

"Why......" Morin muttered, biting his lip.

"I'm already screaming so loudly......"

"Morin——!" Barron's voice.

"Morin——!!" Aeminor's voice.

Barron and Aeno, who arrived, were terrified when they saw Merlin fall to the ground.

"Are you alright......" The two of them carefully helped him up.

The young man's blue eyes turned gray, like the gray closed window:

"Why hasn't Professor Honorom come out yet...... I'm already screaming so loudly......"

"Maureen!" Tilna's voice tightened.

"Whew, don't ...... Lin!" Marcus panted.

"Mo, Morin, don't worry,!" "Iwenno was about to cry, "Since Mr. Honorom's name is written on the timetable, he must have returned safely!"

"Maybe, maybe he thinks that there has been no one living here for too long, and there is too much dust, so he will go to rest somewhere else first," Ai Minnuo held the young man's arm, trying to help him wipe his wounds but was afraid of hurting the young man: "You see this is not a place for people to rest at all!"

"Morin!" Barron kept his mouth open for a long time, but only called his name again, and raised his big hand to encourage the boy, but he couldn't stop it.

Even Marcus didn't know what to say, he looked at the deserted treehouse and at the sluggish teenager, trying to tell an inappropriate joke and searching his mind but empty.

And Xiao Hei in the ring mark has long been submerged by his sudden blankness, and can only subconsciously release a faint warmth.

"Since Dean Fielding had written Mr. Honorom's name on the teacher, he must have been sure that he was back, or at least that he was safe. Tierna's steady, soft voice rang in the boy's ears, and finally pulled the boy back.

"Yes, yes, it should be so, Mr. Honorom must be safe. Morin gasped, a stiff smile finally squeezed out of the corners of his mouth, "He must be safe, and he will definitely be seen in the next class." ”

"Class, class!" Morin muttered to himself as if he had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw: "He must have gone directly to class, I'll see, I'll see, the name of the course, the foundation of trial tower survival, the location of the class......"

"Icefall Beach!"

"Icefall Beach! yes, you can't be wrong, Icefall Beach is so far from here, Professor Honorom must have gone early!" Morin said excitedly, "Let's go too!

With that, he broke free from Barron and Aeno's grip, stumbled two steps forward, and then ran faster and faster.

Icefall Beach was a long way from the castle, almost to the southern border of the academy and the end of a corner of the valley lake. In winter, the entire cliff wall is frozen with ice, and in the summer, huge ice hangs down along the cliff, and the ice water from the snow peak scatters and plunders the warmth below, washing it into a barren beach with strange terrain.

"Icefall Beach...... Icefall Beach ......" Morin panted and looked at the towering half of the ice cliff in front of him, and a large barren beach crisscrossed by ravines at the foot of the cliff: "Where is the class place......

"There!"

Under his gaze, the young man saw the seating platform built against the mountain in the shadow of the cliff, with a total of seven or eight floors above and below, forming an arc shape, enough to accommodate more than two hundred students to sit.

"Yes, that must be the place for class!" Morin saw that a few familiar classmates had already taken their seats.

He ran to the table in three steps and two steps, searching back and forth like crazy, ignoring the surprised gazes of the others.

Where is it, where is it...... Professor Honorome, where the hell are you...... Really, let me see a cloak, let me see an arrow, even a feather!

But why is there nothing......

Aren't you here? Classes are coming up in the afternoon, and you're the teacher, why aren't you here?!

Are you still lost in the distant forests of Gangdi......

It's true...... Not here.

Morin lowered his head, his clenched fists clenched for an unknown amount of time before slowly letting go.

He let out a long sigh, his shoulders drooping.

A voice came from a close distance behind him.

I don't know who walked behind him silently, without making a sound.

"Oh, boy traveling alone, I see you again. ”

Morin's body suddenly trembled.

This gentle and magnetic voice, although the boy is not familiar with it, and the memories in his mind have been pulled away by time, but he will definitely not forget it.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, calming down again.

Then Morin puffed up his chest, turned around, and made a very standard senior salute.

"Mr. Honorom, it's great that you're back safely, I haven't forgotten your suggestion, I'm sure I'll take the 'Chaos Forest' course this year. ”

……

The middle-aged man in front of him gradually merged with the shadow that was fading away in his memory, and the boy realized that he had lost too much weight.

The memory of Honorom seems to fit everyone's subconscious appearance of a wilderness ranger, the vicissitudes of life and deep eyes and angular cheeks are always appropriately hidden in the shadow of the hood, only a short beard is exposed, and the dull leather armor is always stained with mud watermarks, and the whole person has no edge, no matter what the occasion, people can't help but subconsciously ignore his existence.

But now, even the wide academy robe could not cover the thinness of his body, his cheekbones were high and protruding, and there was no trace of blood on his sallow face, only the deep eyes were still as vicissitudes as yesterday, as if the eyes that could perceive everything were burning and shining.

It's like a skeleton burning with a fire of soul.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he came back safely.

And it doesn't look like he's missing arms or legs.

The boy finally smiled.

Seeing the smile on Morin's face and his expression of finally relaxed, Marcus and the others who arrived in a hurry were finally relieved.

So, the thin teacher in front of him is the legendary Professor Honorom.

The Ranger who had been tracking the cultists into the Black Forest alone for a year without a sound of him.

The eyes of several people were full of admiration and curiosity.

Not only did Maureen often mention the professor who saved him in the Gangdi Forest, but Marcas's powerful sister Minerma also spoke highly of him.

When their quest for the Old Eye got bogged down last semester, she inadvertently said on more than one occasion that if her partner was in the Academy, she would have found a crucial clue, and tried to mimic the Ranger's skilful insight.

"'Chaos Forest' course, you don't say I forgot about it," Honorom smiled, "I'll go to Fielding after class to mention it, it should be on Wednesday, and you can choose it in the evening." ”

"Professor Honorome," Seeing that there was no discoloration on the thin uncle's face, Merlin asked hesitantly, "...... you last year?"

"Shhhh......h

"Come with me to the office after class. He said.

Morin also realized that this was not the place to talk about this, and several people nodded, and walked to the classroom platform to occupy the front position.

The temperature here is very low, and Merlin took care of his clothes a little, and then used his magic to briefly deal with the abrasions on his arms, and by the way, warmed his somewhat stiff body.

After calming down, he realized that Professor Honorom had indeed come here so early to prepare for the course.

He was digging out a large amount of hard dirt from the ground with a magic card and throwing it together, the card was shining with a pale yellow light, it looked like it should be a third-order card, and after a while, under the effect of the non-stop magic, a small dirt bag was piled up, and around the dirt bag was a circle of deep and wide ravines.

Honorome measured the depth and width, nodded, and drew another magic card to dig a ditch along the ravine, leading into the icy stream.

The stream is filled with some crushed ice ballast into the circular ravine.

Honorom put away his cards and waved at the early students in the seats to signal them to be calm, and then his figure disappeared from everyone's view.

The creek was not very watery, and it took a long time to fill the circular gully to half full, and the soil bag in the middle was a little soaked by the water, and it looked like an island in a flat pool.

It's time to start a class.

The second-year students have basically arrived, and nearly 200 students have packed the seating platforms on the seventh and eighth floors.

Maureen saw Strayer and Osmond, as well as Alice and Tevez with their pigtails. Everyone looked curiously at the strange artificial island not far away, guessing what it was for.

"This lesson doesn't seem very dangerous, but Dean Fielding is so serious. Marcas muttered.

After Morin recovered, he also relaxed and resumed his jokes, of course he knew that this was far from a dangerous time.

They were going to enter the Tower of Trials.

Evano poked Morin from the side and asked in a low voice, "Professor Honorom, has he always been so thin?"

The boy shook his head: "I guess it's been too long since I had a good rest." After all, magic cannot completely replace food, let alone spare people from sleeping and other necessary rest. ”

When Honorom reappeared, there was a murmur.

I saw that he used his magic to carry a huge metal box, which was dragged from nowhere and transported all the way here, and put it heavily on the small island surrounded by ice water.

The huge metal crate was as large as the cargo box at the airport, large enough to hold tall horses, and the box looked extremely thick, with a circle of thick gear locks framed on the outside of the box, and I don't know what it was loaded within.

"Beast Hunt!" Marcus recognized at once.

His face turned white.

The Beast Trap is a machine used to imprison magical beasts, which is much more complex and has stronger materials than regular cargo boxes. Xiao Hei was captured by Cleo and them in a small beast trap around the winter vacation last year, and the one in front of him is so big, I don't know what kind of monster is imprisoned inside.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from the box, causing the students sitting on the platform to whisper.

Knock!

There was a muffled sound, but Honorom didn't seem to care, and he waved his hand to signal the lesson to begin.

His voice was as gentle and magnetic as ever.

"Hello everyone, I'm Honorome, a professor at the School of Nature and Life, and I'll be in charge of the course and," he emphasized, "You'll be evaluated for your future performance in the Tower of Trials. ”

Everyone was so engrossed that they didn't dare to wander for a moment.

"As you all know, you are the first sophomore to receive such dangerous training, and to be honest, I agree with Dean Fielding's decision. ”

Honorom smiled, "In my more than twenty years of coaching career, all the courses I have taught are related to the Chaos Forest, and I know most of the survival and combat techniques for dealing with Chaos. Please believe that if you complete this training carefully, you will pass the trial. ”

"Even if it's a student of the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing, ......?" asked a timid girl.

Even if they are students of the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing. Honorom replied in the affirmative in his warm voice.

"When are we going to enter the Tower of Trials?" the other boy asked.

"By the time I think you're ready enough. Honorom replied, "Don't worry, I won't let you rush in and lose your own lives in recklessness." ”

His answer was a relief to many of his classmates.

"We'll talk about other questions later, let's come to class first. ”

"We all know that chaos is our eternal enemy, and you should have learned more or less about the tides of chaos and the never-ending war on the border, so I'll recount the knowledge here,"

"Everyone knows that clouds turn into rain, and free water elements condense into ice in cold places. ”

He pointed to the ice cliff above.

"And what we call the tides of chaos are the same as clouds, sometimes we also call them clouds of chaos, in the black forest far from the light of the fire of order, they are just cloud-like mist, and once close to the boundary of order, especially under the light of the fire of order, they will turn into all kinds of hideous creatures like clouds and rain, we call them nightmare beasts. ”

"Naturally, there are countless varieties of Nightmare Beasts. ”

"You may have seen some of them in scrolls or magic spells, but—"

Honorom leapt to the edge of the massive beast crate and pulled open the wrist-thick lock.

Click......

After the sound of gears twisting, an outlet opened in the metal cabinet.

A pale beast burst out.
