Chapter 187 Letter

Summer vacation is over.

Annan, who has been living at his own pace and spending this holiday leisurely, will enter the Magic Academy tomorrow.

"It's strange that nothing happened."

Annan was preparing for the start of school tomorrow. He was happy that nothing unnecessary happened, but he also found it quite strange.

He really wouldn't pay attention to Roderick's gangster affairs, but nothing really happened, which in turn made people feel unnatural.

The Coulier Gang spent a lot of manpower, material resources and a lot of time on conspiracy and planning to frame Roderick and the others. Normally, they should continue to attack continuously.

However, after Roderick was released on bail, the Coulier Gang didn't know what scruples they had, so they didn't make any big moves.

There are still daily gang conflicts, but there are no large-scale actions as expected.

Of course Roderick feels strange, but the current situation is the best for him. He can gain more time to recuperate and increase his strength.

Veronica and her daughter have left the hospital. Their physical endurance is indeed stronger than that of ordinary women. They have recovered well and have now returned to their original positions.

Caleb. Russ, the top thug, was involved in an accident and imprisoned, which indeed reduced the strength and morale of Roderick's group, but just being the person leading the charge would not make the entire gang unable to operate.

After this blow, Roderick seemed to have figured something out. Now he began to recruit more troops freely. His attitude towards people from different factions of the Nares Gang also changed.

Annan did not continue to understand further. Anyway, as long as nothing happened to Roderick, his ally and boss, he would not care about anything.

"Okay, if you're ready, let's go to bed early... huh?"

Annan put down his packed schoolbag with some confusion, and then walked to the window.

This is the house that magic professor Dulan found. Annan officially separated from his uncle a few days ago and began to live alone here.

Annan opened the window of the bungalow and looked at the bird-like creature outside the window with a strange expression.

It was a creature that looked a bit like an owl, but anyone who looked at it would know that it was definitely not an owl.

"Magical creatures, familiars? Or..."

Annan's feeling now is quite strange.

He reached out and took the letter tied to the talons of the brown-gray owl creature.

"..."

Annan looked at the emblem on the letter and immediately knew who the letter was from.

As he accepted the letter, the owl, which should be a magical creature, flapped its wings silently and disappeared into the dark night.

"It's actually an invitation letter from the college."

Annan closed the window and drew the curtain, then returned to his desk and opened the letter.

"It's really an invitation letter, an invitation letter from the academy. What should I do?"

After Annan read this letter, which was neither long nor short, the letter, which was a bit rough to the touch, faded away bit by bit, and finally disappeared completely.

"What kind of magic is this? Is it really black magic?"

Annan thought about it for a while, looked at the time, and finally decided to call the professor.

"Annan? What's wrong?"

Dulan's voice was relaxed. He didn't think Annan had anything urgent to contact him.

However, after he heard what Annan had just experienced, he was immediately speechless.

"The invitation letter from the academy... was sent directly to your home?"

There was a bit of trembling in Dulan's voice.

"It turns out to be...academy..."

"Yes, it's the academy."

The academy they are talking about is certainly not an ordinary magic academy.

A college is a college.

A college located in another world, a very famous mysterious organization.

Although the combination of a very famous and mysterious organization is very contradictory, it is true that it is like this.

"I'm very curious, how did the college discover me? And on what basis did they invite me?"

Annan has not found anyone spying on him recently.

In previous contacts with Roderick's group, he could not avoid showing up, but it did not cause any trouble. Roderick handled the aftermath well.

Annan has not noticed anyone observing him during this period of time.

Moreover, even a well-known college should not be able to simply invite someone who does not know his ability to enroll.

Yes, the academy is an academy, a magic academy. Whether it is general magic, esoteric magic, forbidden magic, or even black magic, it will be taught unconditionally. It is an academy located in another world.

"There are many secrets in the academy. Even among the members of the academy, few people know why the higher-ups of the academy invite new members..."

The shock and shock have passed, and Duran's voice has returned to normal.

"Some people think that maybe the inviter of the academy is actually someone hiding in an ordinary magic academy. However, the school has not started yet, and you don't know any professors or teachers other than me, nor do you know anyone of this type. Having come into contact with you...the qualifications and abilities of a magician cannot be seen with the naked eye."

The academy does not seem to invite people based on pure qualifications or abilities. No one knows what the conditions for the academy's invitation are.

It's just that normally, relevant tests should be carried out.

"Isn't there a legend that says there is a mysterious magic device in the academy that will select those who are qualified to enter the academy?"

This so-called legend, or rather rumor, was told to Annan by the magic professor as a topic after dinner.

"If there really is such a powerful magic item in this world..."

At that time, Dulan only regarded this matter as an interesting topic and did not really think that the academy had such a thing.

The academy is indeed mysterious and contains many secrets, but if such a thing really exists, it would not be mysterious but terrifying.

"Annan, do you plan to join the academy?"

"It's a rare opportunity, so of course I have to go for it."

Annan never thought that he would be able to come into contact with this academy in the other world, but now that he had the opportunity, he didn't want to miss it.

"The nature of the academy is special. It can indeed be regarded as a magic academy. I have never heard of any danger to new members. If I had received the invitation, maybe I would be tempted, but... Anyway, be careful."

Dulan did not stop Annan. He knew that this very special organization of the academy would not harm its own members.

This is not a matter of simply believing outside rumors, because this is indeed a fact.

Although, he has not personally experienced or witnessed it.

"Don't worry, I will."

After confirming the magic professor's opinion, Annan wanted to go to the academy as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, now is not the time.

"After school starts tomorrow, let's find a suitable time to go to the academy. I wonder what will be waiting for me there?"
