Chapter 5: The Nest

It is difficult to lie in front of an academy supervisor. These half-meter-tall owls are special magic beasts specially cultivated by the mysterious dean of the Black Magic Academy.

The combat power that exceeds that of high-level magic beasts is enough for these owls to deal with any disputes between apprentices below the official magician level.

Not to mention, in this Black Magic Academy, there are secret magic inscriptions and alchemical eyeballs everywhere.

It is not a problem to explore the truth of the facts, or even directly restore the details of the battle just now.

However, for the conflicts between low-level apprentices, it is obviously not enough for the academy supervisors to use surveillance eyeballs to restore the battle scene just now.

When Sean took out the identity medal representing a formal black magician apprentice, the supervisor chose to keep the matter quiet.

As for the second half of Sean's words, it gave the owl a step down.

The huge wings waved forward, and the corpse of the low-level apprentice Ilk, who had been corroded by strong acid into charcoal, was blown to the white crow forest on both sides of the road under the effect of the wind element.

These corpse fragments will be the best fertilizer for the underground plants in the White Crow Forest.

Considering that conflicts and fights often break out between apprentices in the Black Magic Academy, similar fertilizers are common in many corners of the White Crow Forest.

After bowing gently to the intelligent owl, Sean ignored the strange looks of the apprentices around him and walked towards his dormitory building step by step.

The pale mask that Sean had won as a trophy had been put on his face.

It was indeed a magic prop. After putting it on, Sean obviously found that his vision was much clearer and wider.

…

The total number of apprentices in the Black Magic Academy in Mosobra City is between 700 and 800 all year round.

Every year, apprentices die for various reasons, and new apprentices emerge every year.

Only a small number of these new apprentices are from school-age children in Mosobra City.

More than 90% of them, like Sean, came from the surface. They were children who were abducted and robbed underground by black magicians using various means.

Sean vaguely remembered some things before he was six years old. His luxurious golden hair and handsome face all marked the fact that he was a noble.

Including when he first came to the Underdark, he was able to snatch food from other peers, which was also due to his practice of some superficial swordsmanship and breathing techniques when he was a child.

These things are not accessible to ordinary people.

Sean has few memories of his origin and childhood.

Apart from his surname and the amiable face of his mother in his dream, Sean can hardly recall anything else.

Life in the Black Magic Academy really took up too much of Sean's energy.

Instead of reminiscing about the past, Sean would rather live down to earth.

The Black Magic Academy provides more than 20 dormitory buildings for apprentices, each with six floors, and each floor has eight rooms.

The more powerful the apprentices are, the closer their dormitories are to the inside and the higher the number of floors.

The reason why those powerful apprentices choose this is that they need a relatively quiet environment for meditation and spellcasting experiments.

It is not uncommon for some powerful apprentices to occupy an entire floor.

It is also for this reason that every year when new students first enter school, there will always be fierce conflicts over dormitory issues.

Sean's room is on the fourth floor of the fifth building behind the dormitory building complex.

As a low-level apprentice, he obviously can't get such a good position.

The reason why he can live here is because of his cohabiting girlfriend Lina.

Lina is her benefactor, his senior sister, his magic guide, and also his girlfriend.

From some perspectives, Lina should be his mentor.

Including Sean's ability to show a lot of talent in the knowledge of fire elements, it is also because he has helped Lina complete some magic experiments for many years.

"Dingka!" As Sean pressed the magic crystal lamp, dim light appeared in the room in front of him.

This is a room with an area of ​​about 70 square meters. It is not big.

And because there are a lot of sundries and books needed for experiments, plus there is a bathroom and a small independent experimental table.

The whole room looks more cramped.

But when he came back here, Sean felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart, because this is his little nest.

There was a faint sour smell in the air, and Sean smelled that it was the burning smell of black camphor grass, a low-level magic material.

Lina is not a woman who can clean up. In fact, Sean has been doing housework for all these years of living with her.

After looking around and finding that Lina was not at home, Sean dragged his tired body to the big bed in the center of the room.

This is a special big bed composed of two single beds. It was born on that night two years ago.

Perhaps thinking of some pictures, Sean gurgled in his throat and shook his head.

He placed his harvest on the desk beside the bed, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, with a large bottle of intermediate antidote given to him by his new mentor Moses in front of him.

After pouring the antidote into his mouth, Sean himself guided his mental power and began his routine meditation.

Meditation is the gentlest way to restore mental power and magic power, and sometimes it can even replace the role of sleep.

As Sean gradually entered a state of meditation, his dried-up mental and magical powers gradually recovered, including the blue moss poison in his body, which slowly dissipated under the effect of this intermediate antidote.

There is no time for cultivation. When Sean opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

After more than ten hours of meditation, Sean's spirit and energy finally recovered to a relatively vigorous state.

It was also when he stopped meditating that he found that his girlfriend Lina had returned.

"You're back." Sean whispered.

"Yeah." Lina nodded.

At this time, a girl with a height of only 1.5 meters, fiery red hair, and a cold temperament appeared at the window.

Lina is not a person who likes to talk. In fact, including Sean having lived with her for eight years, their usual conversations are also very awkward and brief.

The appearance and height make Lina look like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

But Sean knew that this was not Lina's real age.

Since they met eight years ago, Lina has maintained this appearance. Eight years have passed, and Lina has not changed at all.

From some gossips from the magic academy, Sean knew that Lina had experienced an experimental accident with her mentor many years ago, which led to her becoming like this.

Sean didn't know how old Lina was, and he didn't ask.

Just like Lina has never asked Sean's last name and his childhood background.

Everyone has their own secrets and corners that are not known by others.

Although Sean and Lina have had physical contact, they don't seem to be completely honest with each other.

"Are you injured?" Lina first glanced at Sean's magic wand and pale mask placed by the bed, then frowned and looked at Sean's chest, which was obviously oozing blood.
