Magic Recovering: Billion Folds Talent - Chapter 26

‘Unfortunately, the only problem is that I’ve learned all the intermediate spells.’

Andrew was a little helpless. He felt that this was very normal. After all, it was a necessary arcane for the great mage’s realm. For him to be able to start learning it with the strength of an intermediate mage was already an impressive feat.

‘Since that’s the case, the current plan is to temporarily upgrade the intermediate spells at hand. After experimenting with the application of the two arcane runes, I’ll probably be able to gain a lot of insight.’

‘Cultivating the arcane can’t be rushed.’

‘I can slowly explore after breaking through to become an advanced mage. Right now, the main focus is to build up my foundation.’

Andrew stood up calmly and placed the books he carried back onto the bookshelf one by one. After all, he was already a hundred years old. Although he was anxious to extend his life, he also knew that instead of being impetuous and trying to force a breakthrough, he might as well calm down, slowly focusing on his research, as the latter might be more efficient.

Thus, he tidied up his clothes slightly, pushed open the door of the collection room, and took the medal to prevent others in the Association from accidentally entering. Then, he prepared to go home according to the plan, he prepared dinner for his children who were about to return from school.

‘Tim has been quite busy recently. I should lighten his load.’

Andrew pondered. Under Topa’s guidance, his son’s cultivation was very efficient, but it was not good enough to be like Andrew, who was able to do housework while at the same time doing cultivation.

Tim had indeed been very busy recently. He had agreed to his teacher’s request and was preparing to apply for the United Academy based on a recommendation letter. For this, he had to prepare a lot of materials and documents, so he had been running around the Association’s departments.

Based on Mary’s performance in the Grand Competition, she was heavily groomed by the Academy. It was estimated that she would be able to break through to the beginner mage realm within a year or two. On the contrary, Andrew, an old man who had always concealed his strength, was the most carefree.

However, before Andrew could step out of the mage academy, he saw a young man running over hurriedly. It was one of the beginner mages that Andrew had saved when the Cyclops had invaded a few days ago. The other party ran over nervously, then he said, “Mr. Smith, the vice president wants you to go to the meeting hall. The headquarters has sent someone over, it seems like they want to mediate the dispute in our Faerun City.”

“I understand, I’ll go over right away,” Andrew said.

He was the Honorary President and basically did not care about anything, but he still had to respect matters regarding the Association Headquarters. However, he had only taken a few steps when he noticed that the young man was hesitant as he grabbed the corner of his shirt.

“Mr. Smith, please don’t say that I leaked this matter. It is said that Mr. Valle, who was sent from headquarters this time, has links with the Faerun City’s faction.”

“I’m not too sure how he managed to form a relationship with them. But you destroyed the grandstand of Faerun City’s Academy during the competition earlier, it’s considered an accidental injury, so the Headquarters usually won’t pursue it.”

“This Mr. Valle has come with bad intentions. You have to be careful.”

“I heard…”

“Heard what?” Andrew asked calmly.

“Valle is already one step away from becoming a great mage. My family cannot afford to offend him. You just have to be careful, don’t…”

“I understand.”

Andrew nodded.

“I won’t tell anyone, thank you.”

“It’s alright. If it wasn’t for you, I would have died at the hands of the Cyclops.”

The young man thanked Andrew again before leaving nervously.

Andrew’s expression was also a little solemn.

‘An enemy who is about to become a great mage?’

‘Logically speaking, the development of Faerun City wasn’t even as good as Rafax City. How did they gain connections with the headquarters?’

‘Moreover, I’m an Honorary President now. The Association won’t discipline me easily, right?’

Andrew pondered, but he didn’t panic. As he pondered, he walked towards the meeting hall.

‘An ordinary advanced mage is no match for me. Even if he is about to become a great mage, I am confident that I can remain undefeated.’

Andrew was slightly relieved.

On the other side, in the meeting hall, Valle looked at Lanza, who was all smiles. Valle was feeling anxious.

“Why isn’t Andrew here yet? Could he have fled in fear of punishment?” His expression was a little displeased.

He had indeed been summoned by the people of Faerun City. This time, he had not received any orders from the Headquarters and had acted completely on his own. If the people of Rafax City were to find out, Valle would be punished instead.

‘But I can’t refuse to help the people of Faerun City.’

Valle felt a little helpless. He and Nolan were from the same faction. To plunder more resources, Faerun City had started a conflict with the surrounding cities under the private instructions of Valle’s teacher. it seemed like his teacher wanted to gather some resources to practice a special spell.

‘The original plan was going very smoothly, but suddenly, Andrew appeared from Rafax City!’

‘This resulted in heavy losses. Not only did they fail to take down the resources, but more than half of the remaining forces in Faerun City were also wiped out. The plan was practically ruined!’

The more Valle thought about it, the angrier he got. He had come here this time to find a reason to take down Andrew. Then, he would use the excuse of escorting him to the Association Headquarters to get rid of this scourge! Of course, the people from the Association in Rafax City could not stay either!

Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed across Valle’s face.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Smith will be here soon.”

Lanza was still trying to fake a smile. He didn’t know that in the eyes of this mage, he was already a dead man! To prevent his cover from being blown, Valle decided to kill everyone in the Association in Rafax City who had seen him after he had killed Andrew.

‘In any case, the strongest people here are only a group of intermediate mages. Killing them would be a piece of cake!’

Valle was deep in thought, he suddenly saw an old figure dressed in a long robe walk in from the side of the door. He immediately knew that the main character had arrived, so he took a few steps forward and asked aggressively.

“Andrew, during the grand competition between the Academy of Faerun City and the Academy of Rafax City, did you intentionally use the name of the competition to destroy the stands of Faerun City, causing the students of their Magic Academy to suffer heavy casualties?”

“Did you intentionally kill your colleagues from the Association to satisfy your desire for revenge?”

“Now the Headquarters has requested to bring you back to be held accountable. Come with me.”

“Mage Nolan has already told me the whole story.”

“You must pay the price for your previous killings. Otherwise, where is the order in our Association?”

Andrew looked at the aggressive guy in front of him. He felt that he seemed to have understood something and shook his head in amusement. “As expected, you’re from Nolan’s faction, right?”

Andrew was not a hothead. After all, he had been on the battlefield for decades. In such a situation, if he still could not tell that this so-called person sent by the Headquarters was biased, he would have lived his life in vain.

How was this a mediation?
