Regarding Reiner's suggestion, Xu Lie chose to ignore it. For a while, one could hide, but could one hide for a lifetime? Evil Mages were just as numerous as traditional wizards, constantly emerging. The students at these schools rarely experienced such encounters, and it would help them accumulate some experience in dealing with Evil Mages.
Now, pulling them away from the battlefield seemed safe, but once they stepped out of the school and encountered an Evil Mage, they might not even know how they died. The losses would be significant in terms of productivity. It was better to stay and fight alongside the school; this way, they could broaden their horizons, enhance their combat experience, and deepen their affection for the institution—what was there to lose?
Reiner was persuaded by Xu Lie and did not contact the Enrollment teacher again. Instead, he hurriedly sought out the Prophet Mage who taught at the school. Few students chose the prophecy class, not because they were uninterested in Yuzhi, but because this course particularly required talent. When selecting majors, Xu Lie had already used amplification magic to broadcast information about it, emphasizing its importance.
Without talent, one could never learn anything in this field throughout their lifetime. However, if one had talent, they could accomplish some basic divination within a month. Therefore, during the month before the prophecy class began, students were encouraged to come and experience it; those who successfully became Wind Readers by the first day of the following month could continue their studies. If one couldn't predict anything? It was better to switch majors than to waste time and effort.
When Reiner approached him, the Prophet Mage was somewhat surprised; this old friend usually mingled with students and was considered a rare visitor. "What brings you here?"
This was the teacher's office, so there was no need to worry about being overheard by students. Reiner quickly explained the situation: "It's roughly like this. I believe in Mr. Xu Lie's Idealism Magic prophecy; however, this matter is too significant. I need your help to cross-reference."
Not only had Reiner developed feelings for Truth School, but every mage teaching here also cherished this school and its students. Without further ado, the Prophet Mage took out a crystal ball. This was not the kind of mundane arrow that Reiner had used for psychological suggestion; it was a magical crystal ball that the Prophet Mage had acquired over time by exchanging eight hundred points with Xu Lie.
Originally, the Prophet Mage could only predict events occurring within a week, but with the aid of the magical crystal ball, predicting events a month ahead was no problem at all. Soon enough, images began to appear in the crystal ball—indistinct yet compelling visions of what lay ahead.
As powerful as Reiner was, he couldn't make sense of the abstract images before him and could only look at the Prophet Mage with hopeful anticipation. The Prophet Mage furrowed his brow, sensing something was off. The prophecy indicated that there would be heavy rain at the school by the end of the month.
But that was all there was to it; nothing significant had happened at the school yet. It couldn't be true. Reiner instinctively dismissed the notion. Deep down, he had already regarded Xu Lie as a certainty; this was content predicted by Xu Lie using the unique Idealism Magic—how could it be wrong? That was why he immediately denied it without further thought.
The Prophet Mage's expression grew serious as well. "Don't worry, let me take another look." In truth, not just Reiner, but even the Prophet Mage himself began to wonder if perhaps it was his own abilities that were lacking, which led to Yuzhi not being attacked by the Evil Mage. After all, Xu Lie's mention of "the near future" was too vague, and the Prophet Mage could only foresee events within a month—perhaps it exceeded his capabilities.
No matter how much the Prophet Mage scrutinized, the crystal ball continued to display only abstract images of rain falling over Truth School. This kind of abstract imagery showed no other movements; even the lively students had retreated indoors to escape the downpour.
"There’s something wrong!" This time, it was the Prophet Mage who exclaimed: "Most students would indeed go indoors to avoid the rain."
