46 returned to school
The flames wrapped around the frost, and a huge green fireball carried Jack and the others out of the vast experimental forest, and it only took a little effort for them to return to the school square.
Tired and scarred, many embarrassed wizard apprentices rested in the square, because of the sudden appearance of the purple cloud, many young apprentices suffered, and some unlucky ones even had their hands and feet bitten off by polluted creatures.
Silent, Jack began to look around with the silver harp, intending to tell his sister that he was safe, but the wailing and noisy surroundings made her frown.
Unlike the mane-haired witches, who were as attentive as Jack, most formal wizards were simple and rude to their apprentices, navigating through the air with huge monsters and enchanted items, many of whom they threw directly from the sky.
The changes in the experimental forest are still ongoing, and even the old apprentices are unable to escape, so the work of rescuing these apprentices falls on the wizards who have been fighting with Ziyun for half a day, which makes them tired and irritable, and many apprentices are also injured because of this.
Shaking his head, Jack took his sister's harp into his arms, and at this time he planned to return to the dormitory and have a good chat with his eldest sister, as for now, he planned to meditate for a while.
The green-haired witch flew back to the experimental forest after sending Jack to the square, as if she had been summoned by the school, and before leaving, she also ordered a few words to those old apprentices, and the guy who was controlled by her curse naturally nodded in agreement.
Without a full-fledged wizard by his side, Jack immediately began to check his spirit bubbles, found a slightly empty spot and began to meditate.
As the spiritual power was slowly injected, the originally dim magic circle gradually lit up, and the five rudimentary magic were checked by Jack one by one, and after making sure that it was correct, he began to switch to automatic meditation.
The Evolution Bug Queen in the Monster Puppet is now a little quiet, and she seems to have fallen into a comfortable sleep under the soothing of Jack's mental power, and this troublesome little guy Jack plans to shut it down for a while, and wait until he finds a way to restrain it before releasing it.
"Master Jack, it's our turn to report on the mission. ”
Cautiously, a somewhat nervous Viper ran over to inform Jack, who was resting, and the beautiful woman was nervous at this time, and she was frightened by the elite wizard, and she was worried that the teenager would be angry with her.
"Alright, I'll report what happened in the woods, you can just keep your mouth shut and stand still, and by the way, tell Jax that I took the harp, and as for my sister's side, I'll go and say hello later." ”
Jack got up and patted the dust off his body, because he was controlled by the curse of the green-haired witch, he was not afraid that these people would chew their tongues and break their oaths, and the cursed ice hockey in his pocket could make these people worse than die at any time.
"It's cold, but it's not brutal, and I can try to get under him, and maybe I'll make more progress than my brother's. ”
Viper thought to himself as he helped Jack sort out his clothes, and while her family was trying to get in touch with the past, the woman's brother was in contact with the heirs of the Brans family, but it didn't work very well.
Jack's strength is amazing, and he should be able to be promoted to wizard soon, although his mood has changed a little, but his essence is not brutal and bloodthirsty, which is a good place to take refuge.
Ignoring the woman's thoughts, Jack prepared to report that after the large-scale mission was over, there would definitely be an official wizard to record the questioning, and the others could not say much because of the curse, and only Jack could cope with this errand at this time.
"Huh, those old apprentices, and Jack......"
Biting her lip, a tall woman covered in mud saw Jack who was about to leave from a distance, and beside her was a blonde girl with a shoulder injury, they were Rose and Avril who had just been recovered by the wizard.
After a slight hesitation, the two female apprentices followed after a glance at each other, both of them feeling a little strange and confused about Jack's replacement of Rose to join the old apprenticeship.
Unaware of Avril and Rose's following, the parasitic plants in Jack's body could sense the strength and distance of creatures, but it was impossible to distinguish the identity of humans, and all he could distinguish between apprentices and wizards in this crowded square.
"It should be here, hurry up and go back to rest and recuperate, this time the injury is serious enough!"
Jack frowned slightly as he looked at the blood oozing from his robe, although his injuries had mostly healed, the scars left behind were still terrifying and hideous, but these were just skin injuries, and they could be recovered quickly with the potion of the green-haired witch's compensation.
"Team code 200, Jack Brans reports on the school's mission ......"
With a tired voice, Jack walked to a large tree in the arms of ten people, where the branches full of ears were swinging back and forth, and a large number of wizard apprentices began to report and tell the work tasks by tugging at the ears on the branches.
Psychic power surged, branches danced back and forth, the tree was the communication device for the school wizards, it could transmit and store sounds, and many teachers used it to manage their apprentices, while the teachers who stayed behind were recording this information on the other end.
"Strange modified plants, these people still have temperature and heartbeat in their ears, and I don't know what principle they rely on to work, it is said that this tree can also recognize a certain degree of lies and truth and falsehood, and it is estimated that the people who planted it are also close to the elite level!"
Jack looked at the ears on the branches as he recounted the mission, not noticing that Rose and Avril were standing not far behind him.
Silent and listening, the two women began to pay attention to Jack's mission, and the looming scars and remnants of cold magic made it easy to guess the danger that had befallen Jack.
Unhurriedly, Jack told most of the facts, from the friction with the old student to the encounter with the wizard-level swarm and a series of things, of course, the things about his own strength were omitted, and it didn't take long for him to end the report.
Clenching her palms, Rose's face turned pale when she heard what happened to Jack, she was sure that it would be difficult for her to save her life in the same situation, and the wizard-level swarm was by no means something that ordinary apprentices could compete with.
Jack was lucky to be able to catch the insect queen this time, this little guy was just born because of special pollution, and the combat experience is not very rich, if she has been hiding in the depths of the insect swarm, the official wizard will also feel embarrassed about it.
Of course, Jack's own strength is also a big factor, and now he can be said to be one of the top apprentices even if he is not a queen of worms, even the eldest sister Shar who has hit the wizard realm cannot be said to be better than him.
At this time, Rose did not know this, and the civilian female apprentice only felt that he had been saved by Jack, and the feelings of gratitude and shame were also entangled in his body.
Without taking the initiative to talk, Avril pulled Rose and left here quickly, the blonde girl was also a little unsure of Jack's temperament at this time, and she also felt a little suspicious of him taking away her 'first blood'.
Because of the constraints of the modern environment, wizard apprentices have no hope of becoming wizards when they are more than thirty years old, and their mental power will gradually weaken as they grow older.
Many declining nobles are counting on an apprentice's promotion to maintain the family, and Avril's initial pain and despair are mostly caused by the heavy pressure on her back, after all, using parasitic plants, she has no 'first blood', which is almost equivalent to not being able to give birth to qualified heirs.
Unlike Earth, the 'First Blood' has a high chance of increasing the qualifications of the Descendants, which can be regarded as a resource and hope for the current wizard family, so only the particularly bad ones among the noble heirs will take pleasure in taking the 'First Blood'.
After Jack joined the old team in Rose's place in the morning, Rose and Avril felt that it was unlikely that the teenager would do such a thing, and at this time, he was even more uncertain when he saw the scars all over his body.
"Avril, could it be that you're mistaken?"
Rose frowned deeply, not to mention Jack's strength and family background, he was able to send out the notes on studying enchanted items that he really wanted to make friends with him, and there were very few such friends now.
"Hmph, it's possible to have fun with me, and really love you?"
Avril snorted coldly, in fact, she now has some suspicions that she made a mistake, but she can't say it directly for the sake of face and mood, and after hearing her words, Ross grabbed the other party's arm with a straight face.
"I'll accompany you to the medical wizard to check the 'first blood', your adult red eye is also just going to receive magic transformation, if you make a mistake, you will personally invite him on the next mission, whether he comes or not, you and I will go to the door once, and by the way, I will also send some magic coins and spell casting resources. ”
Rose dragged Avril away as he spoke, and Jack, who had finished the story, was unaware of this, and now he frowned a little inquisitively, and the silver harp in his arms sent a message that Jack's second sister was waiting for him at the door of the dormitory!
