Chapter 75 Astral Plane...

Chapter 75 Astral Plane...

A day of preparation time passed in the blink of an eye.

When Victor returned to the academy, he was fully prepared.

He had changed his apprentice's robes into more practical attire, and his long silver hair was tied up in a ponytail, making him look completely different from his previous image.

Especially his face, altered by the Mercury Blood, and his uniquely expressive vertical pupils, caused Olivia, who had come to personally escort him to the Astral Plane, to pause slightly before smiling and nodding in praise: "The style change is quite good."

"This looks much better than my previous outfit."

Viktor felt a little embarrassed by her direct gaze and coughed lightly, "I only changed into more convenient attire because I was thinking that the wizard's robes might affect combat or exploration."

"Olivia, please stop teasing me."

Olivia shook her head. "How can you call that a joke... I was just stating the facts."

"Besides, I'm only thirty-nine years old this year. We're only twenty-odd years apart. Don't think I'm old-fashioned."

Upon hearing Olivia's words, Victor's eyes widened in surprise: "You...you're only forty years old?"

"He's thirty-nine years old!"

Olivia glared at Victor, corrected his mistake, then resumed her smiling demeanor and said, "What else?"

"You don't think you're the only genius at Morning Star Academy, do you?"

"Before you, I was also a recognized genius in the academy."

Victor was somewhat shocked. Although Olivia's demeanor was different from that of the wizards like Manugs he had encountered before, he did not expect her to be so young... Although she was already forty years old, for a long-lived wizard, forty years old was indeed still considered a "young girl".

No wonder the other person seemed so friendly... It was probably because the other person was a genius recognized and trained by the academy, just like him, so he subconsciously felt closer to them.

He couldn't help but sigh, "To become a full-fledged wizard at forty years old, I'm afraid I can't be considered a genius compared to you..."

"But if that's the case, then Olivia, you've also obtained the qualification of a Seed Wizard, right? After you were promoted to a formal wizard, didn't you go to the Grand Wizard Alliance for further study?"

"She's thirty-nine years old!!!"

Olivia raised her voice again to correct Victor, then said with a hint of arrogance, "That's because I became a full-fledged wizard last year, but I only stabilized my status this year."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will continue my studies at the academy for another year. After I have learned the knowledge required for a formal wizard, I will go to the Grand Wizard Alliance."

At this point, she glanced at Victor again and smirked, "So, if you progress a little faster, maybe by the time you get to the Grand Wizard Alliance, I'll still be there studying."

"Forehead...

""

Viktor gave a wry smile.

Although he was very confident, he also felt that it was best to take a steady and solid approach to the path of a wizard.

While ensuring his mental strength progressed at a steady pace, he wanted to focus more of his energy on studying alchemy and potion-making... These two fields were also the foundation for him to become stronger and determine his future direction.

Olivia was just saying that; she knew that everyone's situation was different. Even if someone was truly talented enough, there were many examples of them falling by the wayside. It was just that a genius like Victor had a greater chance of catching up with her.

Seeing that Viktor was silent, she waved casually, signaling him to hurry up and follow her; she was about to take him to the teleportation room.

The teleportation room in the Star Tower is a relatively important location within the academy.

The main reason is that this teleportation room serves many important functions of the academy. For example, teleporting personnel to the Astral Plane is only one of its uses. Its greater function is to communicate with the Wizarding Alliance, share information, and transport resources from other wizarding civilizations.

In fact, because the astral tides are still ongoing, as long as a wizard has magic, they can actively draw upon the power of the astral plane and enter it on their own.

However, the main reason Victor used this teleportation chamber was to accurately locate the astral plane he was heading to; otherwise, he would get lost in the astral plane and not be able to find his way.

The Starheart itself guards the teleportation room, so there's no need to deal with other wizards.

Olivia, accompanied by Victor, arrived at the center of the teleportation chamber. The Star Tower was ready for teleportation; all it took was a command to provide energy to the chamber, after which the teleportation could proceed.

.

Then Starheart presented a ring to Victor.

Victor reached out and put the ring on his finger. Olivia reminded him, "Keep this ring safe, because it's the key to bringing you back."

"When you have completed the mission, or when you are in a situation where you have to return, use magic to activate this ring. The Heart of the Star will automatically use traction magic to bring you back from the astral plane."

"I will teleport with you to that astral plane, but once we confirm that the landing site is safe, I will immediately return to the academy. The rest is up to you. The next time we meet will be when you complete your mission."

"However, the prerequisite is that you complete this assessment task; otherwise... you probably won't have a second chance to see me."

After Olivia finished her reminder, she gestured for Victor to stand still.

Victor quickly put the ring on his finger and then straightened his posture.

Olivia turned her head and gestured to Starheart, "Start the teleportation."

The virtual image of Star Heart floated in mid-air, still with that cold demeanor, its voice icy as it reminded:

[Command accepted: Initiate teleportation]

[Teleportation Target: Astral Plane 14212]

[Teleportation Personnel: Olivia, Former Wizard; Victor, Apprentice]

[Recharging transfer energy... Transfer in progress...]

[The teleportation will begin in thirty seconds. Please do not use magic to interfere with the teleportation process...]

【30......29......28......】

3...

.】

[Teleportation initiated...]

The cold countdown has reached zero.

In an instant, Viktor felt his ears ringing and his vision was completely covered by a dazzling light, causing him to close his eyes and suppress his body's instinct to use magic to adjust his state.

Let a strange energy, like a flushing toilet, churn him back and forth!

Fortunately, the process didn't take long. Viktor felt the turbulent power around him gradually dissipate, his body became more and more relaxed, and he regained his senses of the active and pulsating magic around him.

He then opened his eyes again.

Then, what came into view was an endless expanse of crimson red...
