Mr Fernandes looked at the house and then at Theon, Elvin and Dagon and said, "Well... You survived well and built a house here, and it seems that you also found some resources to increase your strength. Although you're not as strong as Vernon, reaching the 5th level of Apprentice Witch is already very good compared to other new students. You have worked hard during your time on this island." Theon, Elvin and Dagon immediately smiled. Their hard work on this island was not useless. They prioritised cultivation to return to the Osud Continent and see their families again, so they had always worked very hard on this island. Mr Fernandes even thought the increase in their strength was good enough, so they were very happy. After that, they rushed to the house. It was also approaching evening. Vernon and the others began to make food including the students on the ship. They used the ingredients they had brought from the Osud Continent, so Vernon and the others could taste the cuisine from

Their ship soon left the island and set off for Mofa Zhiwu Academy. Several monsters tried to destroy the ship along the way, but Mr Gray only needed a sword strike to stop the monsters. As the day approached evening, Vernon and the others could see the Mofa Zhiwu Academy again in the distance. When the ship arrived at the harbour, several people were standing and waiting for the ship. A Senior Witch at the harbour immediately flew over, headed towards the ship with a bitter smile, and said, "Fernandes, Gray, you have finally arrived. It was difficult for us to keep your departure from Mofa Zhiwu Academy a secret. Some Senior Witches from noble families even sent scouts to confirm your whereabouts." The Senior Witch had a thin body and white hair. Even though the Senior Witch was old, it was still apparent that he was full of vigour that did not match his age. Mr Fernandes immediately said with a smile, "Sorry to trouble you, Gajeel. We were also trying to get to Mofa Zhiwu Academy

All the Senior Witches from noble families in the room immediately became disgusted. A muscular man said to them did they miss him? The answer was impossible; even these Senior Mages from noble families thought it was better for this brawny man not to return to Mofa Zhiwu Academy. Seeing the disgusted looks of all the Senior Witches in the room, Mr Gray smiled and said, "Haven't you been talking about me all day? I'm here now, so why are you being so quiet?" Ms Alberona immediately shouted angrily while pointing at Mr Gray, "Gray! Right now, this room is having a meeting; how dare you interrupt this meeting!" Mr Gray looked at Ms Alberona and immediately said, "Let alone the Mofa Zhiwu Academy meeting; even if it is the Eisenbar Kingdom meeting, then I am not afraid to interrupt it." "You! You think you're so good, huh? Our Smith family has 15 Senior Witches, which is enough to defeat you!" shouted Ms Alberona, getting angrier. "15 Senior Mages?" said Mr Gray, then smiled mockingl

After that, the Head of the Academy also formalised the magic contract using his mana. With that, the magic contract began to disappear. Now, it was officially valid for the match between the new student Vernon and a student from a noble family that would be held in a week; it had been officially made and could not be changed anymore. "Since the matter here is settled, then Gajeel and I and the students will leave first to train for the match a week later," Mr Gray said, after that he turned and left. Mr Gajeel, Vernon and others followed Mr Gray and left the room. After seeing Mr Gray and the others leave, Mr Joff worriedly said to Ms Alberona, "Ms Alberona, do you think it's okay to risk your family's cultivation? After all, cultivation methods are very important to a family; if a family loses them, they will be destroyed." Ms Alberona smiled confidently and said, "You don't have to worry, Joff. Vernon is indeed a gifted student, but he has been living on the island for less than

It was already morning; Vernon had not slept today because today was his time to teach Julian a lesson he would never forget. Vernon quickly made his way to the living room. There, Mr Fernandes, Mr Gray and Mr Gajeel sat and chatted. They had worn their magic robes properly and were ready to leave for today's match. Seeing them, Vernon immediately bowed and said, "Morning, Mr Fernandes, Mr Gray, Mr Gajeel, sorry to keep you waiting." They stopped talking and looked at Vernon. Mr Fernandes smiled and said, "Although your level has not increased, your strength seems to grow. Today, those nobles will get a good show." Vernon smiled and said, "My strength did improve a bit during training this week." Mr Gray shouted, "Come on, why talk while standing like that? Sit here, Vernon. We'll have breakfast before your match; after all, one can't fight if they're hungry, right? Mirajane was currently cooking. Although she's a noble, cooking is very good, so we should have breakfast first."
