A terrible plague of disease had erupted in Greenshade Town, and now all that was left was ruins, dusty streets deserted, and vine-covered houses as desolate as they could.

Ivo slowly walked into the ruins of Greenshade, and Derpy floated beside him, a look of reminiscence, "This is the town where I was born, and I haven't been back in a long time. ”

Several giant wild dogs, mutated by the plague, emerged from the ruins and pounced viciously on Ivo.

Ivo's warhammer stretched forward, and a shockwave that distorted the air spread, and several giant dogs remained in a fluttering position and were briefly fixed in the air, and the next second the concussive force exploded, and the giant dogs flew upside down like cannonballs, crashing into the walls with a bang, and the dust was filled.

The mastery of the hammer flow is getting higher and higher, Ivo has touched the threshold of mastery of the master, just picking up the war hammer will show a momentum as thick as a mountain, no matter how fast or slow the war hammer dances, the hammer head will produce a faint pulling force, which is a phenomenon after the extreme condensation of power.

Continuing on, we passed a chapel.

Derpy's tone is sad: "I died here. ”

"Gala ......" The sound of bones and joints moving came from the church, and several dry ghouls staggered out, their clothes rotten and unrecognizable, and they could only barely recognize them as priest decorations, and after smelling the breath of the living, several ghouls rushed greedily towards Ivo.

Ivo's face remained unchanged, he stretched his arms to the greatest extent, his muscles bulged, and he swung his war hammer violently, smashing several ghouls into the air like a baseball for dozens of meters, falling apart and falling to the ground crackling.

Time and astrology will affect some corpses, and slowly turn into ghouls over time, the world is full of dangers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in the wild.

Derpy was stunned and said, "You knocked Uncle Priest flying......"

"He's just a dead man now. Ivo shrugged.

Walking past the chapel, not far from Derpy's former home, the door is half shattered, the empty doorway is filled with cobwebs, and from the outside you can see a withered tree in the yard, the branches and leaves are withered and withered, and the color is full of ashes.

"This ...... It's my home. ”

Derpy's voice trembles and she floats under the dead tree, trying to touch the tree that has accompanied her throughout her childhood, but Derpy is a ghost that can touch entities, but she has no sense of touch.

Derpy silently withdrew her hand and hugged the dead tree with open arms, as if to feel the coolness of the hot summer months.

Ivo stood silently and watched.

"I've wanted to go home for so many years, and such a simple wish has not been fulfilled until today......" Derpy's eyes welled up with illusory tears.

Derpy drifts into the dusty house, and Ivo peels back the cobwebs, the furnishings of the house are rotten, but Derpy's face is full of reminiscences, as if she still sees the cozy little room that once was, recreating the scene of her father and mother accompanying her. Her mother was busy in the kitchen, the smoke curled from the cooking, and her father was doing carpentry, and the sound of sawing wood woke her from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and ran barefoot to her father to complain, and whenever he did, he would stop his work and carry her to the rocking chair to play, making her laugh and giggle.

Derpy floats in silence as Ivo sweeps the dust off the ground and sits down to wait.

Slowly, the day passed, and the afterglow of dusk reflected the interior of the house in a dim yellow patch, as if all stories would end like the sun.

Derpy wakes up from his memories and turns around slowly, looking at Ivo with satisfied and relieved eyes, "Ivo, thank you for bringing me back. ”

"My wish has been fulfilled, I feel the call of the Land of Return, and it is time for me to leave. Derpy closed her eyes with a faint smile on her lips, light but full of sincerity and gratitude.

Ivo sighed, "Goodbye, Derpy. ”

She began to turn into crystal light and dust from her feet, and she opened her eyes and smiled brightly, like a young bud that has grown for a long time and finally bloomed into the most beautiful stamen.

"I'm not called Derpy, my name is ...... Elensia. ”

The last traces of light dust dispersed with the wind, and the bone ring turned into a pile of bone meal.

Ivo stroked his heart and muttered, "Elensia, I remember your name." ”

There was a slight coldness on the back of the left hand, and a line of black floral letters like tattoos slowly emerged, as if imprinted on the back of the hand, this line of words was Derpy's name, Elensia.

This is the blessing of Elensia before she dies - the affinity of the lower undead.

Ivo had one more message in his mind, stroking the new tattoo on the back of his hand, sighing slightly, saying goodbye to a friend, and feeling a little sad in his heart.

Leaving the house, several wandering ghouls spotted Ivo, but instead of immediately pounced, they shook their heads in the distance and observed for a while, and then walked away, which was the effect of low-level undead affinity.

Fulfilling Elensia's wish, Ivo set out to return to the royal capital.

......

Royal Academy.

Leon was shocked when he read the newspaper report on Kalirban's ambush.

He and Misha worked hard to escape from Kalilban's men, but they didn't expect Kalilban to be killed by Ivo, whom they used to think was a joke.

Misha looked angry, she thought it was definitely a rumor.

Demoari put down the newspaper, a little interested, and asked, "What is his strength?"

"During the Blood Scorpion's first raid, the enemy summoned a five-headed Infernal Demon, and he ......" Reion recounted what he saw.

Misha snorted, "Maybe those demons are fakes. ”

Leon looked at Misha helplessly, and wanted to say a word not to deceive himself, but he understood that Misha was this kind of hard-mouthed character.

There was a smile full of nonchalance on the corner of Demoari's mouth, "It seems that he has the qualifications to be taken seriously by me, there is still more than half a year before the academy league, with his strength, he will definitely be able to become a participant in the Hurricane Academy, I will teach him a lesson in the league by the way, so that he can understand the gap." ”

"My worst enemy is that Caesar. Demoari's gaze turned cold, he was originally a high-profile future star of the Royal Academy, but since Caesar of the Gold family joined the Academy, he quickly attracted everyone's attention, and simply took away the honor of his first day.

Demari doesn't think he's worse than Caesar, he can't bear this gap, what he cares about most is honor and fame, he maintains an elegant and genius style, in order to shape his own image, he cares a lot about the eyes of others, in his heart Caesar is the biggest enemy, Ivo has to stand aside.

"This year's Academy League has attracted the attention of all the nobles, even His Majesty the King and the Overseer will be there to watch it in person, as well as the first knight of the kingdom, the Marquis Donald, the head of the Golden Imperial Jandison, and other powerhouses at the highest level of the kingdom, this is my best chance to defeat Caesar in public!" Demari thought to himself.

......

In the Hurricane Academy's principal's office, David reported on the experience, Polanco was shocked by the large number of casualties among the students, but he was helpless, after all, the blood scorpion attack was not something they could control.

According to the treaty signed at the time of the student's enrollment, the student died in the experience, and the academy had to pay a generous pension to his family, which would add to the already poor economy, and the families of the dead and injured students would also question the academy, and Polanco had a headache.

The only good news is that the Academy's most talented people are safe, and Ivo has killed Calilban and the Hurricane Academy's reputation has grown.

If the Hurricanes Academy had been able to perform well in the House League in half a year and receive a royal backing, the Academy would not have gone out of business.

But they are optimistic that Ivo is still too young, although his strength is beyond his age, but in terms of age, he is three or four years younger than the genius students of other academies, which is very disadvantageous.

According to Polanco's idea, Ivo should be allowed to participate in the next House League, when Ivo absolutely beat everyone and was able to avoid this class of talents known as "Future of the Kingdom", but the embarrassment was that the Academy could not last so long, so he was in a dilemma.

At this time, David spoke, "Headmaster, I suggest that Ivo be invited to participate in the academy league. ”

Polanko's eyes widened in surprise, and Maboyaf said that David was not optimistic about Ivo, was he wrong?

David: "Through this experience, I realized that prejudice blinded me, and I saw his great potential, which I had never seen in such a talented student, with tenacity, excellent tactical awareness, and unfathomable potential......"

"So I think Ivo has enough to play in the academy league and age is not an obstacle for him!"

Once David was biased against Ivo, but after experience, he was reversed by Ivo's excellent performance, and he was irrepressibly optimistic about Ivo.

Polanko pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "Just do as you say." ”

......

The return journey did not have many twists and turns, and after half a month's trek, Ivo returned to the royal capital.

Coming to the gate of the Hurricane Academy, Nafi, who was wearing a wizard's robe that couldn't cover her graceful figure, stood beside the pillar, waiting for Ivo, maintaining a gentle smile, but her eyes radiated a cold light, "Ivo, I woke up from a dream from a pain for a few nights, should you talk to me about this?"

Ivo glanced at the fireball that appeared out of thin air, walked directly past Nafei calmly, as if he didn't know Nafei, but made Nafei who was asking for guilt stunned, and hurriedly shouted behind him, "Why don't you answer me?!"

When Ivo heard this, he didn't say a word, but ran away.

Nafei realized that she had been tricked, and she was annoyed and angry.

"Bastard, don't run!"

Ivosa ran wildly and laughed proudly: "Chase me, stupid!"

Nafei gritted her teeth: "When I catch up with you, I'll ...... you"

"I'll stop right away if I want to!" Ivo perked up,

"I'll blow you up!"

The fireball rumbled and shot indiscriminately, and the students encountered along the way avoided it, for fear of being injured by mistake, and watched the two of them chase and flee away in amazement.

"It's ...... Domestic violence?!"
