Warlock Apprentice

As always, Sunders was oblivious of Flora’s venting.

He was grinning, and his stern expression became a little more gentle.

“Good. Project into imaginary to give birth to the truth. Your talent is exceptional.” Sunders reached out his hand towards Angor, who was still sitting on the floor.

Angor hesitated. A man feared by wizards was in front of him. If he did not react properly, would he get into trouble? After some more wavering, Angor chose to take Sunders’ hand.

Sunders pulled Angor up and looked at him with his dark brown eyes. “Do you want to be my student?”

Those words instantly quieted all conversations between the supernaturals nearby. Then, a commotion followed.

“Sunders is accepting Angor as a student?! This—this would be the biggest news in the southern region this year!”

Heroline.

Heroline was gazing at Mara with pure hatred.

At first, Mara did not know why Heroline hated him so much but considering Heroline’s regretted look towards Angor, Mara realized what just happened.

It was clear. Heroline was blaming Mara, for not noticing Angor’s talent beforehand, thus giving Sunders such an opportunity.

Mara felt really upset. He did not know there was something else besides “floating” during the talent test. He was being excited about his own breakthrough on that day. It could not be helped.

Despite his feeling, Mara could not argue with Heroline. Otherwise, he would not be going back to the academy at all.

Heroline’s resentment sent a chill down Mara’s spine. An apprentice was like an ant in the face of a wizard. If Heroline decided to end his life right here, the academy would not even question about it.

With his future dangerously hanging on a thin string, Mara changed his train of thought, clenched his teeth in determination, and made a great decision.
