Cloud Thinking

"Teacher Levita, I am now seventeen years old and I can kill a dragon alone." Helia stated the facts objectively, "Do you think I will not be able to reach the level of a ninth-level magician in the future?"

Levita was silent for a moment, then sneered for no reason and said helplessly, "You look so arrogant, just like your teacher! You really are worthy of being his student!"

Helia spread her hands and shrugged. "As you know, you are like your teacher, and you will have like your students."

"Although I don't know why you are so persistent in learning magic from me, since you are willing and I am also interested, there is nothing wrong with it." Levita nodded and agreed to Helia's request, "However, I want to check the goods now. Where do you keep the dragon's body?"

"In my domain, if the teacher wants to see it, let's go somewhere else. It's really too big," Helia said.

The two moved to a testing ground. Helia looked around and found that this was the testing ground where she had tested ancient magic and almost died. Coming here again inevitably brought back memories.

Helia summoned Theodore, holding the magic wand and pulling open a crack horizontally. Then the crack was seen to be expanded little by little, and the corpse of the dragon squeezed out from it, like a huge mouth of the abyss, slowly spitting out the food in its stomach.

After seeing the dragon's corpse, Levita no longer cared about Helia. He circled around the huge, fiery red corpse, making exclamations from time to time, as happy as a child who had obtained the toy he wanted most.

"I thought it would at least be missing arms and legs, but I didn't expect it to be so well preserved!" Levita said in disbelief.

"The dragon's armor is too thick. It's impossible to penetrate it." Helia explained. She pointed to her eyes and poked her left chest. "But I poked out both of its eyes and took out its heart. It shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"

"Hiss! The dragon heart and dragon eyes are the most valuable things on a dragon, how come there is not a single one left for me?" Levita said with regret.

"There's nothing I can do about it. If I don't poke out its eyes and take out its heart, what's lying here is not its body, but mine." Helia said speechlessly, "At least I still have an intact body. Teacher, you should stop while you're ahead!"

"Hey, I'm kidding you!" How could Levita blame Helia? If Helia hadn't saved the day, who knows how many people would have been killed by the dragon! Even if they had fought in person, they wouldn't have been able to preserve the dragon's body as well as Helia did.

He touched the smooth scales on the dragon's body, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "If we could create armor as indestructible as dragon scales, I don't think so many people would have died at the hands of monsters..."

As agreed, Helia left the body to Levita. Before she had time to go back to her room to pack her things, she was captured by Mobicius who came angrily. The reason for her arrest was that she had betrayed her master and her crime was extremely serious and she must be punished.

"Teacher, I was just discussing magic with Teacher Levita. I didn't mean to betray you!" Helia argued.

"Oh! I don't understand you! You just don't like the fact that I didn't give you the most precious treasure, so you deliberately use Levita to provoke me!" Mobichues felt unhappy when he heard that Helia didn't come to him directly after meeting the dean, but followed Levita.

He is Helia's teacher! When she came back, she didn't rush to see him but went to see Levita. What kind of nonsense is this!

Helia didn't know why Mobichues was so angry. She wanted to ask Vikes to help her block it, but she suddenly remembered that the senior had graduated a long time ago, and it had been almost two years since graduation.

"By the way, teacher, how is Senior Vikes? He should have successfully joined my brother's Magic Knights, right?"

Mobichues snorted unhappily, crossed his arms over his chest, and replied, "Nonsense, everyone in the empire knows that Prince Eric loves you the most as his sister. You've written him a letter, will he agree?"

"Don't say that. Senior Vikes is really capable, so I am willing to recommend him to you. He was able to join your Magic Knights because of his ability." Helia retorted.

"Hmph!" Mobicius still looked unhappy. Helia vaguely guessed that there might be some conflict between him and Vikes, and Mobicius was taking his anger out on her.

"Teacher, did Senior Vikes say something to anger you?" Helia asked tentatively.

"He actually cut off contact with me!" Mobichues got angry when he talked about this. If he still had hair on his head, he would probably explode with anger. "I taught him everything I learned in my life, but he said he was afraid of getting me into trouble and really cut off contact with me!"

"I'm so angry! Do you think I, Mobicius, am such a hopeless person? I won't let myself be dragged down just because my disciple joins the Magic Knights!"

"That's right, senior, you are so ungrateful. The teacher even dared to accept me, so how could he really care about him joining the Magic Knights!" Helia decisively stood on the side of Mobicius and blamed Vikes for him.

"How good do you think you are? Don't think I have forgotten those nonsense you said before! When you graduate, you will not break off relations with me too, will you?" Mobichues said angrily.

He had been used to a carefree and unrestrained life, and he finally managed to find something to do, so he accepted two students. However, who would have thought that after being so kind to them with all his heart, they would suddenly ignore him? How could he not be angry!

"Of course not! Teacher! Whenever I go out, I wish I could write your name on my head! So that those blind guys will avoid me when they see me!" Helia raised three fingers to her temple, "I swear, I will never break off my relationship with you, teacher!"

"That's not necessary. You've always been a troublemaker. If your enemies come to my door one day, I will pretend not to know you..." Mobichues turned his head and muttered softly.

"Teacher, people say that a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness. I don't dislike you, so how can you dislike me?" Helia said aggrievedly.

"You still dare to look down on me? You are getting bolder and bolder!" Mobichues was so angry that he slapped Helia on the back, and as if he was not satisfied, he slapped her several times in a row.

"Hey, hey, hey! Teacher! I was wrong! Stop hitting me! I can't take it!" Seeing that Mobichues was addicted to beating her, Helia hurriedly dodged away.

"Stop! If you run again! Today's training will be doubled!" Mobichuys was so angry that he chased after her and beat her again. Helia turned into a monkey, jumping up and down, talking nonsense while running, which made Mobichuys so angry that his face turned red.

The noisy voices of the two people immediately resounded throughout the entire training ground. In a trance, it was as if I had returned to two years ago, as if nothing had changed, and yet as if everything had changed.

Helia's studies are very busy now. She has to study with Mobicius from morning to afternoon. This time, he finally looks like the strongest fire magician. He took out all his unique magic from the bottom of his box and taught it to Helia. He firmly believes that Helia will become a top magician far superior to him.

After a tiring day, she had to go to Levita after dinner to complete the study tasks assigned by Levita. She was still at the stage of self-studying from textbooks. She sat on one side reading while Lydia practiced sword next to her.

She finally spared a day, and Helia went to find Avril. It would be better to deal with the matter of the God of Wisdom as soon as possible.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me." Avril was not surprised by Helia's arrival, as if she had guessed that she would come to her.

"How can you say that, my dear sister?" Helia sat down on the soft sofa without any courtesy. She raised her fingers lightly and closed the doors and windows around her to ensure that no sound could be heard.

Avril was not dissatisfied with her behavior. She still maintained a relaxed and calm appearance, and went to bring a pot of tea to Helia. After pouring a cup, she pushed it in front of Helia. The atmosphere between the two was like that of ordinary friends.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable looking at my face?" Avril sat opposite Helia, holding a cup of steaming black tea in her hand and sipping it in small sips.

"I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after I knew the reason, I began to sympathize with you." Helia didn't touch the tea brought by the other party. She crossed her legs, leaned forward slightly, looked at Avril seriously, and said with a smile: "If you want to blame me, I don't mind."

Avril chuckled and shook her head. "I don't blame you, nor do I blame my godfather. In fact, I should thank you."

"If it weren't for you and your mother, I wouldn't be what I am today, and I wouldn't be able to get in touch with the great Lord."

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. Without the clues you left in the tower, I would not have been able to find the hidden room." Helia said.

"It's just a little trick I did out of boredom and to demonstrate. It would be great if it could help you," Avril said.

Helia stretched out her hands to her and tilted her head slightly, "So, now would you like to reintroduce yourself?"

Avril didn't respond to her, but slowly finished the tea in the cup. As time passed, the atmosphere between them became more and more tense, but this tension was one-sided on Helia's side. Avril seemed to be completely unaware of it, or rather, she didn't care at all.

She slowly put down the empty teacup. The crisp sound of porcelain knocking against each other broke the oppressive silence. She raised her eyes to meet Helia's, her mouth slightly raised, she smiled faintly, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"About you, and the God of Wisdom." Helia said.

"As for me, I don't really have much to say, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you." Avril said, "I'm an orphan. I grew up in the Dulu Orphanage until I was six years old. I met Hawke, and he adopted me."

"I was looking forward to it, but soon I realized something was wrong because I found that the things I used in the place where I lived were used by someone else, and that person was Hawke's deceased sister, Madeline."

"I didn't think anything of it at first. I thought Hawke missed his sister and I happened to be a little like her, so I got the chance to be adopted. So I tried hard to find out everything about Madeline, wanting to imitate her so that Hawke would cherish me."

"But when I found a red hair in my brown hair, I knew I was wrong. I looked in the mirror and I became less and less like myself, closer and closer to the person I wanted to imitate, and I was scared."

"I can look a lot like Madeleine, but I can't be Madeleine. I am me, and no matter how similar I imitate her, I am still me."

"I am imitating her, not her replacing me."

"I started to look for the truth. I asked many people and finally got clues about the Morogen cult. I went back to the Duru Orphanage to try to find clues about the Morogen cult."

"I was deceived by the dean, and when I woke up, I had entered the empty tower. There, I gradually deduced the truth, a suffocating and disgusting truth."

"I wanted to escape, but I failed. I started to teach myself magic without any basic knowledge. Haha, although my experience made me look unlucky, I was unexpectedly very talented. I am very smart and self-taught."

Avril raised her hand and waved it gently, and saw the curtains in the distance being drawn up. "I'm just like you. I can use magic without a wand."
