Chapter 238:
"Disciple of the Vice Minister?"
Upon hearing Fira's self-introduction, Freya raised an eyebrow. No wonder she was able to stop their earlier fierce confrontation.
"Yes, I am the eleventh disciple of Teacher Meilong and the only one staying here for further studies." At this moment, Fira seemed much colder compared to the gentle demeanor she had shown before. "And the one you just fought with is Nick Meiler. Like you, she joined last year and comes from the Black Sea Forest. You know that place, right?"
"Black Sea?" Freya frowned slightly.
This name was not unfamiliar to her; anyone with a certain understanding of the Wizarding Area would recognize it. The Black Sea is known as the most chaotic gathering place for all wizards.
Everything exists there: Dark Wizards, Abyssal Demons, magically mutated intelligent beings, monsters from other dimensions, and various non-human wizards.
If the Dis Mountain Range where Freya had once stayed belonged to an orderly black magic territory, then the Black Sea was the most chaotic region.
If this witch named Nick came from there, then everything made sense.
After all, that place was inherently chaotic, and it wasn't unusual for someone to draw a weapon at just a glance.
What puzzled Freya was why someone from the Black Sea would come to Cloud City of the White Wizards to study.
Beside her, Freyja observed Freya's contemplative expression and continued speaking.
"It seems you are aware of it. I won't say much more. Nick's innate qualities have greatly contributed to my Rune Department, although she can be a bit hot-tempered. However, compared to last year, she has been gradually restraining herself. I hope you two won't have any more conflicts. Even if there are any, please avoid them in the document room. The academy has designated trial areas where you can mess around as much as you like. Understood?"
Freyja's words were quite stern.
Freya showed no intention of rebuttal and nodded expressionlessly.
"Very well." Fira glanced around the messy document room and frowned.
Although the floor and walls were scarred, he was relieved that the various materials on the bookshelf were mostly undamaged.
After a long while, his gaze shifted to Freya.
"Let's forget about this incident. The Rune Department is relatively lax due to its small number of staff, but even so, I hope you can adhere to the rules of the Crimson Eagle. You may leave now."
"Understood."
Freya slightly bowed her head and put away the Cross Sword in her hand. She turned and walked towards the door.
The shadows cast by the light enveloped her face in darkness. Her azure eyes narrowed slightly, concealing a hint of killing intent within.
After leaving the Rune Department, Freya had little interest in lingering there. After borrowing the Basic Knowledge for Official Wizards from the library, she headed straight back to her room.
As for Fira's change in attitude, she didn't care much about it.
The Rune Department was merely a means for her to enter the Crimson Eagle; what she needed was systematic information and knowledge.
Now that her goal had been achieved, she was indifferent to how others felt.
Even Nick from the Black Sea could not brazenly confront her; however, she had already taken note of this incident.
Although nothing significant could happen within the academy, things could become troublesome outside of it.
It is important to know that even in a relatively peaceful place like Cloud City, it was not uncommon for one or two wizards to go missing occasionally.
After all, many wizards go missing each year for various reasons, and the vast Hunting Squad in Sky City could not investigate each case individually.
As night gradually fell, a bright yellow crystal began to glow in the dark room.
Suppressing a trace of killing intent within her heart, Freya calmly placed the borrowed books on the table.
Most of this is Official Wizard Basic Knowledge, which Freya intends to quickly catch up on the gaps from Elgreen Academy to the present.
A small portion consists of some specialized and superficial information about other worlds.
She gently opened one of the books, titled The Discourse on the Life Levels of Wizards, and began to read it carefully.
These materials were not very difficult for Freya to understand; with her exceptionally strong thinking ability, she could almost remember and digest the content at a glance.
Except for some books in other world languages that required some effort to translate, she found it easy to comprehend the rest.
Soon, she finished flipping through the thick book and picked up another one titled The Origin and Fall of Ancient Wizards.
This was information that Freya had always been curious about regarding the advancements of Ancient Wizards.
It is known that due to her brain's unique condition, as her mental strength increased, her body was also undergoing constant training.
However, as her level rose, she was nearing the limits of her physical capabilities.
Some insights from the Ancient Wizards might provide her with hope regarding physical enhancement.
...
The essence of a wizard is mental strength, and the accumulation of mental strength relates to changes or evolution of the soul.
In ancient times, while there were wizards who transcended their souls, the mainstream focus was on evolution through Bloodline, which meant physical enhancement.
This book simply introduces the advantages and disadvantages of Modern Wizards versus Ancient Wizards, as well as the eventual decline of Ancient Wizards, who left the historical stage.
About eight thousand years ago, this world was still a very conservative and primitive era, with few occurrences of World Rifts.
Various giant beasts roamed freely, and humanity at that time was in a lowly stage, subjected to enslavement by various non-human entities.
At that time, although there was an evolution of mental power, the pace of this evolution was very slow and simply could not withstand the living environment of the time.
Therefore, some people chose to take a step back, first enhancing their physical level before training their minds.
Of course, we know that no matter how much humans train their bodies, there are limits. However, the physical limits of other creatures are not something humans can compare to.
So the wizards of that time set their sights on some Ancient Beasts that were not very intelligent but had incredibly strong bodies.
Some chose to extract the Bloodline of those creatures and inject it into themselves, while others opted for unions with Humanoids similar to humans.
But both paths ultimately led to the same destination.
This simple yet brutal enhancement finally broke the fate of humanity being enslaved at a certain point in time, completely freeing them from shackles and making them one of the largest groups in the world.
The period of the Ancient Wizards could be considered their most glorious moment.
According to accounts from that time, wizards could shatter the void solely with the power of their bodies. (To be continued...)
