Actually, Boris had no choice; he couldn't just imprison Daniel for no reason. That would go against the rules of the Wizard Alliance. He had to find a reason, claiming that Daniel was a guest here.
According to the unwritten rules among wizards, when the Apprentice Leader visits, they are entitled to equal treatment.
Of course, Daniel could not enjoy such treatment; he received only partial privileges. Once it came to the Magic Stone, he was treated no differently than an ordinary apprentice and could even be seen as a target for exploitation, with others wanting to take advantage of him.
Daniel tried to assess the situation and then went directly to the library.
The library housed all the books within the Wizard Tower, and in this regard, Boris had not restricted his access.
There was no need for restrictions; even if he wanted to browse through books and research materials, how much could he really learn?
Daniel began reading inside, while Boris checked on him several times. Seeing him engrossed in reading made Boris grind his teeth in frustration, yet there was nothing he could do.
Little did he know that Daniel was always aware of his surroundings. Although Boris tried to be discreet when he visited, there were still traces left behind. During those times, Daniel acted as if he were casually reading, only utilizing his chip after Boris left.
In the library, Daniel felt like he had entered an ocean of knowledge, eagerly absorbing everything within.
The underground and above ground were fundamentally different places; their training methods varied, and so did the wizards they produced. Naturally, the collection of books was also different, providing him with immense benefits.
Boris imprisoning him here was exactly what he wanted; Daniel was reluctant to leave.
After a day passed, Natalie and the others arrived with the Fire Element Pool. The two sides stared at each other in silence for a moment.
Who would have thought that the actions of a Formal Wizard would be so swift? They had broken through the camp at lightning speed and rushed to the surface, only to find themselves blocked.
The group had no idea that at that moment, Boris was not far from the Passage, searching for traces of a Horned Earthwalker Dragon to prepare a potion using its blood.
The Horned Earthwalker Dragon possessed strength equivalent to that of a First-Level Wizard, which was beyond what any Wizard Apprentice could handle; only he could deal with it personally.
When he suddenly noticed something happening at the camp, he rushed over quickly—unfortunately for them, they were just unlucky.
Natalie spoke up, saying, “Daniel, if things go south, let’s just give him the Fire Element Pool. If we do that, he probably won’t really do anything to us.”
When she spoke, she felt a bit regretful. Who would have thought it would attract the attention of the Formal Wizard? If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have dared to come, especially since it was a Formal Wizard, someone they couldn't handle.
Originally, the Formal Wizard never cared about the actions of apprentices, as long as they didn't provoke them. It was rare to see a Formal Wizard take action. Who would have expected that this time, the other party would be so shameless as to come personally?
Daniel shook his head and did not share his speculations with them. Since the academy had sealed off this matter and didn't want the Wizard Apprentice to know, it was enough for him to be aware of it; there was no need to inform them.
"No need. Let's stay here for now. He won't really do anything to us. I've already reported this to the academy, and I believe a mentor will arrive soon to resolve this issue."
"Really? When did you inform the mentor? How come I didn't know?"
"Before we entered underground, I had already written a letter and instructed Hedwig that if I hadn't returned by the scheduled time, it should deliver the letter to the mentor."
Only then did they realize that he had already anticipated that such a situation might occur.
It was laughable that they had underestimated this matter and hadn't made any precautions. They could only stay in the Wizard Tower and read books inside to pass the time.
Although Boris was anxious, he couldn't act against them and could only wait and see who would outlast whom.
Suddenly, the entire Wizard Tower shook; someone was using force to break into the Wizard Tower. The group put down their books and exchanged knowing smiles, realizing that someone had come to rescue them.
Boris was furious. He had just lost a Fire Element Pool worth 200,000 Magic Stones and was already in a bad mood when someone came to slap him in the face like this. If he didn’t get an explanation, he would definitely retaliate.
Looking out of the window, he saw a figure wrapped in a black robe appearing in the sky. The magical fluctuations emanating from him indicated that he was a Second-Level Wizard.
Boris was shocked. When had he provoked a Second-Level Wizard?
After thinking for a moment, he shouted, "Who are you? If there's nothing wrong, please come down to my Wizard Tower as a guest."
This was meant as a test; they were all working under the Wizard Alliance, and generally speaking, there were no irreconcilable conflicts—true life-and-death struggles were rare.
Moreover, within the Wizard Tower, there were countless Magic Arrays that would greatly enhance his power. Even if it was a Second-Level Wizard, he felt confident he could suppress any conflict that might arise.
"Sure."
The other party agreed and really flew down.
Boris led him to the reception room, handed him a cup of coffee, and coldly said, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
When he saw the other person pull down the hood, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he exclaimed, "Cleveland, what are you doing here?"
He couldn't help but be shocked. Although he had captured Daniel, he hadn't really done anything to him. Why would it warrant Cleveland coming in person?
"Why can't I come? I heard you brought my junior here as a guest. Isn't it only right for me to come personally and take him back?"
"Your junior? When did I ever meet your junior? I certainly didn't invite him here as a guest."
Hearing this, Boris understood his implication. But when had he ever met the other party's junior? He had no idea how he had captured him.
"Daniel is my junior."
"What? Impossible! How could your mentor take him as an apprentice?"
Boris was very surprised. The junior they were talking about was not just any Wizard Apprentice casually referred to; he was an apprentice of a Formal Wizard.
It was a lifelong commitment, where the mentor would wholeheartedly teach the apprentice everything they knew.
When would a Third-Rank Archmage take an interest in a Wizard Apprentice?
Cleveland took out a contract and said, "Two years ago, my mentor signed a contract with him. As long as Daniel becomes a Formal Wizard, he will become his apprentice. I came this time to take him back."
Boris's face twitched; he never expected Daniel to have such a strong backing.
Normally, apprentices would sign contracts only after becoming Formal Wizards, or at least when they were close to graduating, once their potential was recognized before being recruited.
Who would have thought that Daniel, after just a few years in the academy, would become a prospective apprentice of a Third-Rank Archmage? Once he becomes a Formal Wizard, he will automatically be his apprentice, which is simply unbelievable.
His talent must be extraordinary.
However, looking at the contract in his hand, he couldn't help but believe it and had no choice but to call Daniel over. He said lightly, "Daniel, your senior is here to take you. Go with him."
As he spoke these words, his heart was bleeding; that was 200,000 Magic Stones slipping away with just a sentence.
But there was nothing he could do. After all, Daniel had a strong backing. If he didn't have any background and was detained here for some time, he would have no choice but to surrender the Fire Element Pool to him.
With Daniel nodding in agreement, even if this matter were reported to the Wizard Alliance in the future, he could claim that the other party had volunteered initially. Now that he was going back on his word and refusing to hand it over, no one could do anything to him.
But now that Daniel had such a strong backing and Cleveland had personally come over, if he didn't want to offend the Third-Rank Archmage, he could only let him leave.
"Thank you, mentor, for inviting me as a guest during this time. I will never forget it."
"Yes, I won't forget either. I hope nothing happens to you on your journey."
Just as Daniel was about to say something else, Cleveland slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you saying? Hurry up and come back with me."
He wouldn't let him continue to provoke Boris.
