After Ells left, the otherwise quiet venue began to be noisy again. The mages were afraid to speak out loud because of Els' majesty, and it was only after he was gone that the situation was much better.

Feeling the departure of this powerful aura, Rod couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

High-ranking mages are extremely sensitive to the perception of malice, and even without the existence of the Eye of Perspective, they can vaguely feel the attitude of the rest of the people towards them.

Even with the effect provided by the Hidden Emblem, Rhodes was still a little worried that Els would find out about the anomaly, so he had to be cautious at all times.

Els's strength is far beyond what Rhodes can reach, and if there is a ghost dragon, Rhodes may have the confidence to fight with him. But in this case, the ghost dragon was not by Rhodes' side, and according to his own strength, Rhodes was completely unable to compete with this powerful mage, so he had to stay hidden to avoid revealing any abnormalities.

Fortunately, Els's attention was not focused on these low-level mages around him, but he kept paying attention to other thoughts in his heart. Els just said a few words and left the place using teleportation.

In Els's mind, there was clearly something more worthy of his attention. For Els, perhaps the entire academy ceremony could not attract much attention from him.

When Ells left, another mage appeared in the middle of the academy and began directing the personnel of the Ice Blue Spell Academy in preparation for the potions competition.

Although Els didn't care about the academy event, for the rest of the mages in the Ice Blue Spell Academy, this academy event and the upcoming potions competition were still extremely important.

Being able to win the gathering place of this academy grand event in the council united by the academy, the other members of the Ice Blue Spell Academy also put in a lot of effort, and even sacrificed some of their interests, to achieve this.

At this time, Rhodes noticed that in the center of the field, a mage was directing all this. After Els left, it was this mage who directed the surrounding members through a series of preparations.

According to Elon's introduction on the side, Rhodes learned that the new mage was named Sock, and his identity was the mentor leader of the Ice Blue Spell Academy, who was responsible for managing most of the affairs within the academy.

In the case that Ells does not manage the academy very much, Soke is considered to be the most powerful person in the Ice Blue Spell Academy, and for this academy event, in the Ice Blue Spell Academy, Sok is also the one who cares the most.

Even the apprentices of the Ice Blue Spell Academy only have a rare chance to meet the dean of the academy. Only on occasions similar to the House Gala that the Dean had to show up would Els appear.

For the average apprentice, they may not know what the dean looks like. Since they had never seen the dean at all, and even the dean's name, they had only heard of it at this opportunity, but it was impossible for these ordinary apprentices not to know about Suoke.

Due to Soke's management, in this case, almost all the mages in the academy identified Sock as the next dean, but only Sok himself knew that this situation was difficult to achieve.

Rod noticed that Sock was more interested in the academy event than Els, who had appeared in the center of the field earlier.

Even if it was just a simple comparison of the expressions of the two of them, Rod could realize this.

Els didn't take everything about the academy event to heart, and even when it was time for him to speak, he just said a few casual words and chose to leave.

In the games of his previous life, Rhodes had also seen many mages similar to Els. Because of their long study of spells, they don't care much about everything else.

In terms of strength, Sock is not like Els, who can give Rod a strong sense of oppression, even so, Sock's strength should not be underestimated.

Soon, under the command of Suoke, other mages in the academy arranged a large number of utensils in the center of the originally relatively empty field through a series of means such as space rings, whether it was delicate silver utensils or simple boilers, all appeared here.

When everything was arranged, Sock revealed to all the mages around him that the theme of this academy event was potions.

When the theme appeared, the surrounding mages did not show a look of surprise, but instead made a look of preparation, or sighed as if they were relieved.

It stands to reason that the theme of the academy's grand event should not be revealed until the grand event begins, but judging by the performance of these mages around them, it doesn't seem to be the case.

At this point, Rod was not too surprised.

When the Spirit Society takes the lead in obtaining the theme of the academy event through some means, news will inevitably circulate everywhere.

Not all necromancers who learn of this news are able to keep this secret closely.

The information itself is extremely valuable, and as long as any necromancer can't suppress the greed in his heart and sells this information to the thieves' guild, these necromancers who participate in the potions competition will have no advantage.

After obtaining this kind of important information, the Thieves Guild will confirm it as soon as possible. As long as the accuracy of the information is confirmed, the Thieves Guild will even take the initiative to sell this information to some old magic schools.

Once information spreads, it cannot be suppressed. In addition to the Thieves' Guild, the rest of the mages who learned this information will continue to spread the news in their conversations with each other.

After the academy competition began, due to the spread of information, these necromancers of the Spirit Society lost the advantage of preparing in advance.

If there is no intervention of the Spirit Society, even if the information spreads, it will not matter, it just turns the competition of the mage's personal ability into a competition for the academy's heritage, but for Rod at this time, it actually seems to be relatively disadvantageous.

However, Rhodes didn't complain about anything, if the rest of the mages only got information about the theme of the competition, then he still had the greatest advantage with the knowledge of his previous life.

Unlike regular skills, because they are only about knowledge, Rhodes did not forget some of the potion recipes in his memory.

As for the casting of magic spells, as well as basic combat skills, after coming to this world, Rhodes could not keep it and had to relearn it according to the rules of the system.

For some hard knowledge, such as how to meditate effectively, and the recipe for potions, Rhodes tried it long before he came here, and confirmed that he could continue to use it.
