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
It seems that Mirajane at that time happened to be the same as Mr Fernandes, who could not reach Senior Wizard, so they went to war together, and both managed to reach Senior-level Wizard. As for why they went to war together, Mr Fernandes and Ms Mirajane's answer was a coincidence, but only a few close people like Mr Gray knew why. Ms Mirajane has long black hair and black eyes. Ms Mirajane also wears a white robe with a tree, symbolising that she is a Senior Witch of the Mofa Zhiwu Academy. Seeing that it was Ms Mirajane who was at home and seemingly cleaning his house, Mr Fernandes could only smile bitterly and said, "Mirajane, I told you not to come here any more; if the Senior Witches of that noble family think that you betrayed them then you will be antagonised." Ms Mirajane simply said casually, "You think I care about them? The nobles are full of deception. There are no real enemies and friends. One can be a friend at any time as long as there is interest, then the moment o
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
Even though they had entered a trap, Mr Gray pretended to be surprised and said, "Doing a challenge? Why should we accept the challenge? Is there anything in it for us if we accept the challenge?" Ms Alberona immediately said, "We will have a battle between the new students from our noble family, while you can choose someone from the children you brought from the island. The fight will be one-off and done by one person only." "If we win, the children you brought back from the island must be thrown back to the island; if you win, then the children can study again at Mofa Zhiwu Academy, and we nobles will not bother them at the Academy anymore." "Do you think I'm stupid?" said Mr Gray with a smile and then said again, "If we lose, these kids will return to the island. That's a huge loss for these kids, whereas if they win, they can study at Mofa Zhiwu Academy again, but they are Mofa Zhiwu Academy students. They should be studying at Mofa Zhiwu Academy. Why should they gamble with som
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
Vernon was currently sitting and absorbing the mana crystal in his hand. It had been five days since they made the magic contract for the match. Vernon is still at Junior Witch level 1, but his power is already much stronger than before. Vernon stopped absorbing the low-level mana crystals in his hand as they ran out. Vernon quickly threw it away, then stood up and started walking away from the room as he said angrily, "It's too tiring to keep training when Theon, Elvin and Dagon went to have fun while returning to Mofa Zhiwu Academy." After making the magic contract for the match, Theon, Elvin, and Dagon went to see Tifa and Fiona. After Tifa and Fiona cry joyfully, knowing they are still alive, they return to their village. Why did they return to their village when Mofa Zhiwu Academy, a student must stay at the Academy? Because this is the holiday time before the big game. The entire Magic Academy would have its annual student competition in a month. All new students training at
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."
"No way! Isn't Julian also a new student? How can he already become a 7th-level Apprentice Witch in less than a year?" said a Junior Witch who saw the pressure Julian showed with surprise. One can tell a witch's strength from the pressure shown by the witch, so the spectators around the battle arena immediately knew that Julian had the strength of a 7th-level Apprentice Witch. "As expected of the Smith family," said a Junior Witch from a noble family and then said again, "All members of the Smith family are very talented; even Julian's sister is a Senior Witch of the Mofa Zhiwu Academy, Ms Alberona." "What? He's the younger brother of the Senior Witch, Alberona?" said another Junior Witch who was also watching the match, "Then it's certain that Vernon will lose. What a fool; why try to challenge the family of the Eisenbar Kingdom, the Smith family." Hearing the words around him, Julian became more confident and said to Vernon, "How is it, Vernon? Are you scared now? Even if you're
