When the conversation was over, Thork stopped and immediately left the place, but North remained where he was, as if stunned.

As if affected by Thorke's words, even after a long period of time, North still didn't make any moves, and it wasn't until half an hour later that North gradually came back to his senses.

Soke's words had undoubtedly made North understand that he could not join the Ice Blue Spell Academy like an ordinary mage.

Because of his status as a necromancer, even North longed to be able to study all kinds of spells in the Magic Academy, like a normal mage, including Potions, which he longed to explore, but it was clear that North was unable to do so.

Thinking back to Sock's last words, North also understood what Sock meant.

North understands that if he is really good at potions, and it is not Rhodes who wins the first place in the potions competition, but himself, then at this moment, even if Soke knows that he is a necromancer, he will not make any obstacles to himself who wants to join the Ice Blue Spell Academy, and will even take the initiative to hide his identity.

In this regard, North could only sigh deeply. North knew that no matter how much he longed for this in his heart, the knowledge he possessed and the outcome of the Potions Contest would not change in any way, and it would only be Rhodes who would win the Potions Contest, not himself.

After realizing this, North could only sigh at the current situation.

As if remembering some images from his memory, North couldn't help but recall the last time he saw Rod.

During the final stages of the Potions Race, North had to leave the airship early to watch the image below, but when Eli took out the pendant, the effects below were no longer visible.

North noticed that among the mages who finally stepped off the airship, there was no Rhodes, but among the players who participated in the potions competition, some necromancers took the initiative to identify themselves, and apparently, during the time when the image disappeared, something happened on the airship that they didn't know.

It wasn't until North collected a lot of information about the Potions Competition through the existence of the Spirit Guild that he learned that Rhodes, who won the championship, did not choose to complete the task assigned by the Spirit Society, but jumped off the airship after receiving the reward.

Recalling Rod's title, North believed that Rhodes could not have died in the process, but had relied on his unique means to get away unharmed.

At first, North may have regarded Rhodes, who is also a necromancer, as a rival in the potions competition, but by the time Rhodes refined the perfect potion, North had given up on this idea. It wasn't until Rhodes succeeded in winning the Potions Contest that North realized that in potions, Rhodes was the presence he needed to look up to.

North didn't know what kind of situation Rhodes was in, but after remembering the decision to deal with Rhodes in the Spiritual Meeting, North believed that even if Rhodes could leave safely, his state at this time would not be too good.

At this time, just as North was thinking about the information about Rod, a sound of footsteps suddenly reached North's ears.

When the footsteps first came out, North didn't pay much attention to it. Long before talking to Sock, North was taken by Sock to a secluded place within the academy to make sure he wouldn't be noticed by the rest of the academy. There are fewer mages in this location than in other places, but there are still a few mages.

North, who was thinking about which magic academy to go to next, didn't pay attention to the footsteps, but just thought that he was a mage passing by, and was still immersed in thought.

It wasn't until the footsteps stopped in front of North that North realized that the mage corresponding to this footstep was coming for himself.

At this time, North also looked his gaze in the direction where the footsteps came from. North noticed a figure appear beside him.

As if he had discovered something, North's face suddenly became strange. The mage who appeared next to North was none other than Rhodes, whom he had only recalled not long ago.

North didn't understand why Rod was looking for him, but looking at Rode's appearance at this time and the actions he made, it was obvious that he was not passing by here.

North didn't know Rod's true origins, but North didn't think that Rod, who was extremely powerful and won the Potions Competition, would have any intentions for the treasure on his body.

Just as North was speculating in his heart about Rod's intentions, Rod's words also reached North's ears.

"North, is that how you want to join the Academy of Spells? Even if you are rejected by the Ice Blue Spell Academy, you don't plan to give up, but want to join other spell academies? ”

Listening to Rod's words, North didn't respond. North understood that because he didn't know what Rod really meant, in this situation, his best choice for Rod was not to respond to what Rod said.

As for how Rod knew what was in his mind, North was only alert in his heart.

In North's mind, just as Sock knew exactly where he came from and found himself in the Academy, Rhodes would know that if he was willing to put in the effort to gather information.

At this time, North has not yet realized that the thoughts in his heart have long been exposed under Rod's heroic talents. North's mind was still for Rhodes to find his purpose.

Although North has a talent that surpasses that of ordinary mages in refining potions, his own strength is not strong, and due to the gap in rank, North naturally can't hide the thoughts in his heart.

Even though North didn't answer Rod's question in words, the change in his heart undoubtedly let Rod know the answer to this question.

Rhodes noticed that when North tried to join the Ice Blue Spell Academy, but ultimately failed to succeed under the hindrance of Sock, North also had some resistance to the Spell Academy and the mages in the Spell Academy, and the desire to join the Spell Academy was far less strong than before.

In North's heart, he is actually not sure if he can join other magic academies, according to what Sok said, the mage academy will carefully check the mages who try to join, and relying on this pendant on his body, it may be difficult to hide from the mages in the academy.
