"Uh......" Alan and Riel looked at each other, not sure how to answer.

"He's hurt!?" Ian couldn't help but worry when he saw their reactions.

"No, no, don't worry...... He's ...... fine now," Alan quickly explained, "it's just ...... Uh......"

"What's going on...... Ian fell into a fog.

He ...... Hmm......" Alan hesitated, but found that he still couldn't speak...... Ian didn't know about Burrestus, Alan didn't know how he had to explain Ian to understand about Burrestus and psychic magic, and second, he didn't want Ian to know...... If this kind-hearted and upright boy knew that his brother had gone with what might be the most vicious criminal in history, he would be worried about the evil.

"His performance in this exam was so good that the proctors decided to give him special training. At this time, Arel opened his mouth, "Although it is not a champion, it is also a very high recognition and honor." ”

Although the excuse that Riel came up with on the spot was not perfect and somewhat unreasonable, it at least stabilized Ian's mood for the time being.

"Oh...... Oh......" Ian nodded incredulously, staring at the floor in distraction.

"That'...... How long is he going?" asked Ian after a moment.

"Uh...... Probably a month or two, if things go well...... But maybe it will take more than half a year...... "Riel hastily explained, "because there are still a few children who are doing well with him." ”

"It's taken so long...... He should come back and talk to me......" Ian looked a little lost.

"Uh...... Since it was a temporary decision and time was pressing, he didn't have time to come back to say goodbye to you, so let us tell you on his behalf...... He also said that you don't have to worry. Riel said again.

In order to avoid Ian's suspicion, he added a few more words: "Hey, don't worry about him, I know him, his talent is high, this kind of training must be easy to deal with...... When he appears in front of you again, he may already be qualified to work in the Security Department!"

"Uh-huh...... That's pretty good...... The salary must be good!" Ian seemed to be a little relieved, "I have limited ability, I can't help the family lighten the burden, everything is up to him......"

"Well, hopefully everything will go well on his side. Alan also said.

With that, Ian bowed his head and went back to his bedside.

Alan and Riel also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally put the matter over for the time being......

As for what to do if Professor Stubone said that he had slipped out, they didn't want to think about it for the time being, and of course, they couldn't figure out how to explain it to Ian.

Let's take it one step at a time...... It's the only way they can come up with it at the moment.

Thankfully, a day later, when Professor Stubone announced the results of the competition, he didn't mention any of the other missing or dead students in the arena. And this notice was also sent rather sloppily.

"About the result of this contest...... There are no champions. Early that morning, Professor Stubourne's voice rang out, "Since several people who entered the final round were exhausted, the final round could not be played normally, so I have to regret to announce to you that there is no champion in this competition, and all eight contestants who advance to the final round will be evaluated at the same level...... However, the fact that this is a sign that these eight contestants are better than the others: Frey Wagbine, Cynthia Winslow, Alyssa Dark, Alan Paterner, Rare Connor, Ivan Lavin, Cecilis Labredo and ...... ...... of Ficheno Scullos Let's congratulate them again!"

With that, Professor Stubone stopped squeaking.

In a rare way, he only informed him once, and said nothing about Ficeno, who could already be confirmed dead, and Ivan, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Originally, I thought that this was just a preliminary notice, and Professor Stubone would summon a few of them to ask about something, but a few days later, Alan learned from Frey that the staff members who were referees thought that they were also responsible for the eventual situation of this game, so they unanimously decided not to do so...... And for all the people who died and disappeared in this competition, they decided that if the relatives of the contestants came to ask for an explanation, they would show the agreement signed by the students, and if no one bothered them, they would not say a word.

If you can save one thing, you can save one thing, and you will never take the initiative to solve the problems that can be avoided, which is really a typical style of this generation of people in power.

But no matter what, this matter is finally over, and after being busy for so long, everyone is finally going to return to normal study and life.

Oh no, Alan is an exception......

He had been looking forward to Professor Young coming to him every day during the few days off, not only because the desire for new magic had completely taken over his heart, but also because he could spend as much time as possible with his parents, whom he hadn't seen in years.

And Professor Young didn't make him wait too long. On the afternoon of the third day of the new learning cycle, he brought Alan a message from Tim.

At that time, Alan had just finished his earth elemental magic class, and as soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw Professor Young standing at the entrance of the Perpetual Motion House.

"Follow me. Professor Yang was still expressionless as usual, and his tone was cold. Coupled with his scrawny figure, at first glance he seems to be a scarecrow who has no thoughts and can only act on instinct.

Remembering his father's explanation, Eren simply said goodbye to Riel and Alyssa, and immediately followed him.

"Has my father already entered the castle?" Alan whispered as he walked along the way.

As if he hadn't heard, Professor Keyan just lowered his head and walked forward.

Seeing this, Alan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and didn't ask any more.

But what he didn't expect was that he thought that Professor Yang would take him to the dungeon, or find a place like a classroom that he didn't use often, but Professor Yang actually took him out of the castle gate directly......

"I was able to get permission to enter and leave the school at will...... It seems that there is no shortage of money to unblock the relationship on Professor Stubourne's side......" Alan thought to himself.

Professor Young led him all the way down the cliff, then turned right into a nearby forest.

A small log cabin stands in the middle of a small clearing, and fresh cuts in the surrounding tree stumps show that it was built not long ago.

"Yo, Weiss, long time no see, you're thin again. The light in the forest was not very good, but a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them, accompanied by Tim's voice, "Did you bring Eren here?"

"It's coming. Professor Young replied simply.

"Daddy!" Alan immediately trotted all the way over, his face full of excitement.

"Good. Tim smiled and nodded, and said to Alan, "As you can see, in order to save you time, your mother and I have decided to stay here for the time being...... I'll be waiting for you here every afternoon for some time to come...... I'm going to pass on everything I've learned all my life to you......"
