As soon as he arrived at the academy, someone greeted him with a smile, and everyone kept calling out "Professor, Professor."
There was no way around it; Daniel was too famous within the academy. He was the top talent, far surpassing the second place by an unknown margin, leaving the second place only able to look up at him.
He was also the first Pharmacist, with countless people seeking his help to brew potions. Additionally, he served as the acting instructor of the academy, able to charge fees for lectures as a Wizard Apprentice. He could be considered the best among apprentices.
Initially, many people were skeptical, thinking that Daniel wouldn't last long and would eventually be driven away. How could the knowledge reserve of a Wizard Apprentice compare to that of a Formal Wizard? Other apprentices spent Magic Stone but did not gain the knowledge they deserved; who would be willing to do that?
Who would have thought that Daniel truly persevered and even explained things better than his instructors? With that, who dared to look down on him?
At that moment, Maxwell suddenly sent a message asking for him, so Daniel had no choice but to visit his Wizard Tower.
As soon as he entered, he saw Maxwell sitting in his seat with a furrowed brow, looking somewhat troubled. Daniel had never seen him like this and asked, "Instructor, what do you need me for?"
Maxwell gestured for him to sit down and sighed, saying, "It's all because of you."
Daniel was somewhat puzzled; he had been at the academy for the past two years without stepping outside. What could have happened?
"Last time you made quite a stir in the Underworld, even defeating Spatial Mage Apprentice Franklin."
Daniel smiled awkwardly but didn't say much.
"However, the other party is unwilling to let it go after losing face. They have now mobilized five Wizard Tower's Apprentice Leaders, uniting them to cause trouble for the academy. They are currently splitting into six groups and are attacking our resource points."
Only then did Daniel understand why he had seen a Floating Ship flying overhead in the morning; it was heading to support the resource points.
"Well, you can't blame me. If I hadn't been kicked into the Underworld, I wouldn't have provoked them. Besides, with over 40,000 apprentices in our academy, why should we fear them? Just six Wizard Towers, six wizards at most.
Our academy has more than twenty Formal Wizards. They are just six people."
Maxwell sighed again. If it were really as easy as Daniel said, it would be manageable; however, that wasn't the case.
Although there were often conflicts between the academy and the Wizard Towers in the Underworld, Formal Wizards never intervened; it was always the apprentices fighting among themselves.
Life in the Underworld was difficult, with various High Magic Creatures roaming about and different races gathering, leading to constant wars. The Wizard Apprentices living in the Underworld were rich in combat experience and were known for their ruthlessness.
On the ground, however, it was different. The management at Wizard Academy was relatively lenient, and there were fewer conflicts among apprentices. Many scholars stayed in the academy for years, focusing on research rather than participating in battles.
As a result, it often took two or three apprentices to deal with one apprentice from the Underworld.
Now, with six Wizard Towers joining forces, the number of apprentices approached ten thousand, which was far beyond what those Wizard Apprentices from the academy could handle.
Maxwell also knew that this situation could not be blamed entirely on Daniel; he was merely a catalyst. The real reason for the conflict between both sides was still about resources, but it was impossible for Daniel to avoid contributing at all.
Maxwell pointed at him and said softly, "You cannot escape responsibility for this matter. As a Wizard Seed, you must bear the responsibilities owed to the academy."
"Therefore, I am assigning you a mission to go support a resource point. Go ahead, leverage your connections and prestige to rally enough apprentices to block their attack."
"Ah!" Daniel exclaimed with a frown. It wasn't that easy. Although he understood that as a Wizard Seed enjoying various benefits from the academy, he also had to bring sufficient benefits back to it.
However, he only had 80 points of Mental Power now, which was even less than the initial Natalie. He could imagine how badly he would be beaten if he tried to face an Apprentice Leader with his current abilities.
To carve out a path among countless battle-hardened apprentices and become an Apprentice Leader required immense combat experience.
There was no need to mention ability; the Underworld rarely considered potential and only looked at combat power. Those who could become Apprentice Leaders were undoubtedly the strongest Wizard Apprentices.
With his current abilities, he probably couldn't even withstand a single finger from the opponent.
But now that the mentor had spoken, Daniel had no choice but to agree. If he hid in the back during a critical moment for the academy and refused to serve it, why should the academy nurture him?
He could only step forward and gather apprentices.
This needed to be done quickly. Since it was an invasion by the Six Great Wizard Towers, there couldn't be just one route of support arranged by the academy. Daniel saw two Floating Ships flying over, not knowing how many supplies or apprentices they carried.
The apprentices had all been snatched up by those assigned to support missions; how could he go alone? With just himself as a lone commander, nothing could be accomplished.
Soon he returned to camp and instructed Flame Bull, the leader of the Bullman Knight Order, "The academy has assigned me a support mission to assist at a resource point and fend off attacks from the Underworld."
"Go gather Jim, Sam, Furnal, and also send someone to invite Adonis, Haishizi, Allen, Josephine, Rose, Gladys..."
As Daniel mentioned several names, he noticed stars spinning above Flame Bull's head; it was clear that with a Minotaur's brainpower, remembering such a list of names was impossible.
"Forget it; I'll write it down for you. Just follow the list and invite as many as you can."
"Yes, my lord, please rest assured, I will handle it well."
Daniel lowered his head in thought, picked up the goose feather pen, and swiftly wrote down a long list of names.
These were all the people who had previously sought his help in concocting potions, thus owing him quite a few favors.
Although there were only a few dozen names, those who sought him out for a potion were certainly not ordinary potions.
The difficulty in concocting them was immense, and the cost was also very high. Those who were willing to pay such a price were all prominent figures within the academy.
For instance, Haishizi was of the Fire Dragon bloodline, with an exceptionally high affinity for fire elements. His Mental Power had already reached 89 points, earning him the title of Fire Dragon King, making him one of the top figures in the entire academy.
While others may not be as formidable as him, they were also seasoned Wizard Apprentices, each possessing outstanding abilities and having noble bloodlines.
With their assistance, his chances of defending the resource point and repelling the Wizard Tower's attacks increased significantly.
As for those who might not come, Daniel believed some would choose not to, but many more would opt to come. Otherwise, if they wanted to seek his help again in concocting potions next time, they would be mistaken if they thought he would have no temper and not make things difficult for them.
