On August 23, 454 in the New World Calendar, the Academy of Magic of the Federation of Ammasis....

John, who had just gone through a round of magic experiments, threw his body on a chair outside the academy building in exhaustion.

"Ah~~~ I'm so tired, the new characteristics of the wind element have been tested, and there has been no progress at all...."

As a teacher at the Academy of Magic, John has been staying up for 10 days in a row for the title of excellent teacher assessed at the end of the year, even if he drinks energy potions, it will not help, and the huge feeling of sleepiness has made his eyes like glue, and he can't open them.

"Alas, there has been no progress at all, the subject set by the stupid dean, the wind element has been studied for thousands of years, and it has long been dismantled and broken, and there are still new characteristics that can be developed."

John put his hand on his eyes and rubbed them, he hadn't closed them in a long time.

John felt like he was just going to sleep here, he really didn't have the energy to walk back to his dorm.

A strange smell wafted out of the window behind John, who shrugged his nose and opened his eyes strangely.

"What does it smell like? It stinks...."

He sat down in his chair and turned around, opened the window and looked in, a puff of yellow smoke blowing in his face.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—"

The strong pungent smell completely activated John's tired nerves, which was better than the effect of energy medicine, the only drawback was that it was too smelly, John was choked with tears coming out, and his eyes were hot.

And that wasn't the end of it, as the yellow smoke drifted out, a black smoke rushed out of it, accompanied by an explosion.

Boom –

A petite figure in a white robe was pushed out of the window by the shockwave, smashing John, who didn't react, out of the air.

"Ah———— huh? It doesn't hurt! ”

The white-robed man closed her eyes and screamed, ready to meet the pain after landing, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't feel pain, she opened her eyes strangely, twisted her ass curiously, and only felt that the ground was soft.

A voice full of anger came from below, and the white-robed man's body instantly stiffened.

Betty Wollaston!!! ————”

"Ahh Mr. John!! ”

Two voices sounded through the academy, and everyone in the academy invariably held their foreheads and started again....

The white-robed man, Betty, sat on his knees with his head bowed like a quail, and accepted John's reprimand.

"You're doing magic experiments on your own again! What is it again this time! ”

Betty shrunk her neck, removed John's fingers from her, looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice:

"Ten... Ten times the energy of the Elixir Concentrate ....."

"Ten times .. I'm tm..."

John only felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain, how dare she! Energy Elixir is an addictive drug, and she usually has to drink a bottle every few days, but she actually dares to concentrate the energy potion!

"Do you know what you're doing?! How dare you! ”

John could almost imagine Betty's concentrating potion being exposed and taken to the federal professional court.

Betty looked up and waved her hands wildly, an anxious look on her face.

"No, it's not! Mr. John, I have a good way to remove the addictive ingredients, I added the Soul Calming Herb...."

"It's because you add Soul Stilling Grass that it will explode, will you add it and others won't add it? Do you know why others don't add Soul Calming Grass! You idiot!! ”

John's loud roar turned Betty back into a quail.

“......”

At night, in the student dormitory.....

Betty lay on the bed with her eyes blazing.

"Woooooo Teacher John was also too fierce and reprimanded me for 5 hours..."

Betty let out a small face from the quilt and sighed.

"If I can't make any more achievements, I'm going to go back to inherit the family's title, how good is this."

Betty Wollaston is one of the three great powers in the Federation of Amaxes, the daughter of the great nobles of Wollaston, there is no problem in saying that she is a princess, and Wollaston under her rule is the first in the Federation in terms of economic strength.

The Wollaston family is ruled by women, and the title has never been passed on to women only, according to the inheritance law, Betty is the next generation of Wollaston family heads, Betty does not want to be the head of the family, she prefers to be a magician.

"The head of the family or something, just let my sister be it, I want to be a magician!"

Ever since Betty shouted this sentence at the banquet, Betty's mother had agreed with her that if she didn't achieve anything significant in the field of magic within three years, she would give up magic and go home to inherit the title, and now it was her last year.

Betty, who was lying on the bed and thinking wildly, gradually became sleepy.

Bang bang bang

Betty was awakened by a knock on the window, and she propped herself up and looked out the window, where a white snow eagle was standing.

"Snow Eagle? Is there something going on in the family? ”

Betty hurriedly opened the window and picked up the family's cultivated snow eagle, which was only used when something happened to the family, and it was extremely fast.

Snow Eagle had a cylinder tied to her body, and Betty removed it and took out a letter and a ring from it.

"Mother's..."

Betty unfolded the letter.

"Betty, when you read this letter, maybe I'm dead.

Don't hesitate to leave the academy and hide.

A family rebellion has taken place, and your uncle and the Soul cult thugs have started a war in Wollaston.

They're going to find you, run away and don't get caught by them.

The ring in the letter is the material I have prepared for you, and I hope you can live happily.

Your mother – Carolyn Wollaston. ”

Betty shuddered as the letter fell to the ground, she couldn't believe it.

"Uncle and the Corpse Soul Sect.... Why.."

Betty thought of something, hurriedly picked up the ring, and rushed out of the dormitory.

"By the way, run away."

Betty took off her white robe with the Wollaston family emblem on it, and took out a black cloak from the ring and draped it over her body.

As soon as she exited the dormitory door, Betty waved her staff.

Phantom Occlusion

A thick black fog appeared, and Betty disappeared in place.

"She's gone! Go and search around! ”

Betty hadn't disappeared long before a few men in black emerged from the woods of the academy.

Under the command of the leader, they began to search everywhere.

"Report, only found a white robe, no one in sight."

A man in black handed the white robe he found to the leader.

"Hmph, do you think you can run away?"

The leader took Betty's white robe, with a mocking look on his face, and brought the white robe to his nose and took a deep breath, a taste he had memorized.

"Go, she can't run away."

In the city of Amaxis, Betty hides in a bridge hole, clutching her chest and panting heavily.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-

"Look over there!"

Betty listened to the sound of footsteps running overhead and headed deeper into the sewers.

"The sewers in the city can lead to the outside of the city, and now I can't stay in the city, maybe in a few days the news that Wollaston wants me will spread throughout the Federation."

Betty had a wry smile on her face, did she hate her uncle? To be honest, she didn't hate, and even a little grateful to him, it was he who freed herself from the shackles of fate, but she would never forgive this traitor who betrayed her family.

"Uncle, and the Corpse Soul Sect..... I will avenge my parents. ”

Betty's voice faded into the sewers, and no one knew where she went.

Half a month later, Betty walked in a small town in the Confederacy, and as she expected, she was wanted by Wollaston.

It's ironic that the snowflakes of the kingdom in the past, the most wanted criminals of the Federation now, and the civilians who have been fooled by the Federation don't know the truth of the matter at all.

Betty looked up slightly at her portrait.

"Betty Wollaston, the daughter of an evil nobleman, tortured and killed innocent civilians, illegally kept male slaves in captivity....."

In the portrait, Betty's snow-white hair, gentle smile, and soft face are described in all kinds of bad deeds, and even Betty herself thinks that if she really did these things, she might kill herself first.

"I didn't expect this Betty to be such a bad person."

No, I haven't. ’

"I feel sick when I see this person, this kind of thing can be done, is there still humanity in her heart?"

No, I haven't. ’

"If I find her, I'll send her to the gallows!"

'No, I haven't! ’

The chatter of the people around her made Betty clench her fists, and she raised her head to look at the blonde hair hanging in front of her eyes, and there was anger in her eyes.

Betty touched the bracelet in her hand, the bracelet of change, relying on it to change her hair color and face, and it was also by relying on this that she could not be recognized.

From now on, Betty Wollaston doesn't exist anymore, I'm just called Betty.

When this bracelet is unsealed, it will be when you die, my uncle. ’

Betty took a deep look at herself in the portrait and turned away.

'Where should I go next?' Wollaston has been killed by my uncle, where else can I go?" ’

Along the way, Betty pondered the question, where should she go?

First of all, we have to escape from the pursuit of the Federation and run out of the borders of the Federation, after all, the wanted warrant is only valid in the Federation.

Go to the Adventurer's Guild and become an adventurer? No way! The Adventurer's Guild of the Federation will not accept a wanted criminal, if exposed. ’

'Flee abroad and then become an adventurer?' No, I don't have ID from other countries, I need to be at least 15 years old to register without ID, I'm only 14 years old, and I can't even cross the border without a certificate. ’

'Then only the last one remains....'

Betty stopped in front of a tavern, and she swallowed.

"Become a mercenary, even if it's a 5-year-old child, as long as you have the strength, you can become a mercenary, so that you can escape from the Federation with this identity, and with the strength of my high-level magician, you should be able to do it." ’

Betty pushed open the door to the tavern, and the smell of alcohol hit her face, almost knocking Betty down.

In the tavern, there were quite a few people, Betty pushed the door in to attract the attention of some people, and some people even showed a malicious smile to her, Betty's heart trembled, and she walked in.

'Don't be afraid, I'm not to be messed with, be strong!' ’

Betty tugged at the cape and walked through the group of mercenaries staring at her, one who was watching lustfully as she passed by with an oil-stained hand that gripped the ass as she passed in front of his eyes.

"Ahh My hand! ”

With a scream, Betty looked indifferently at the mercenary who was clutching the severed hand.

"Take care of your hands, and the next time it's your head."

The mercenary's teammates hurriedly pulled the mercenary with the severed hand and ran away, they couldn't tell when Betty had made the move, and it would be unwise to be her enemy.

After Betty showed her strength, the mercenaries around also put away their eyes and did not intersect with Betty.

Betty tore off a wanted notice from the notice board and prepared to do the mission, which is the mercenary's entrance exam, and if she passes, she will be recognized by the mercenary guild, and if she fails, she will die.

In this way, Betty successfully landed among the mercenaries, gradually improved her strength, and took on tasks all the way to the direction of the Kingdom of Kylestara, and half a month passed quickly, and she also approached the borders of the Federation.

In a small town on the federal border, Betty sat in a tavern and drank quietly, she had never drunk before, because it would affect the mental concentration of the magician, but now she was used to it, sitting in a tavern and not drinking would be seen as weak, alien, and would invite trouble, and she didn't want to get into trouble.

'I'm about to get out, just get a wanted warrant for the Kingdom of Kylstara....'

There was an uproar in the tavern, and Betty was captivated by their words.

"Caleb Liccock ....."

"300,000 gold coins..."

"The intelligence says ....."

"That's a lot of money, should we take it?"

Betty looked at the newly posted wanted notice on the notice board and thought to herself:

'Caleb Lycock, a powerful mage and enemy of the Cult of Corpses, may be able to seek him out. ’

A powerful magician who is wanted by the Corpse Soul Sect has the strength to be wanted by the Corpse Soul Sect, and is definitely a strong man.

If you can act with this Caleb Licok, it will be a great battle against the Cult of Corpses.

Go find Caleb Liccock!

This thought came to Betty's mind, and she had a vague sense that this person was her goal.

Betty tore off a portrait of Caleb and carried it in her arms, just as Caleb was now in the Kingdom of Kylstara, she couldn't wait to go, and after coming out of the tavern, she hurried to the hotel to pack her luggage.

However, she forgot something, and this negligence was fatal.

Unbeknownst to her, after she left, a group of men in black appeared here.

"Madara, it's been a month since Betty was lost, where are we going to find her, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

A man in black couldn't help but complain to the leader, if they hadn't taken over the mission of the Corpse Soul Sect, would they have been exhausted for this month?

"I'll find it, as long as that smell appears again, I won't lose it, she can't run out of the border, there are people from the Corpse Soul Sect guarding it, we hyenas just need to look for it in the Federation, we will definitely find it."

The eyes of the beast under the spotted mask flashed a few times, it was the first time he had encountered such a person who could hide, and he had chased him to the border wherever he was.

Although there were sporadic scents left along the way, it was too faint, and this was the last city.

Madara stood at the door of the tavern and took a deep breath, his eyes instantly widening, and the mouth under his mask cracked into a cruel smile.

"Found it, this taste, there's nothing wrong with it."

Betty relaxes, forgetting to hide her scent as she is about to successfully escape from her pursuit, which is exposed in Madara's nose.
