Lynn emerged from the ancient castle with a serene expression on her face.
Freg still waited in the same spot.
But he noticed that the student emblem on Lynn's chest had transformed into a honourable purple hue.
He froze, his expression blank.
"Did Lord Gladstone… take you as his disciple?!"
Lynn nodded.
Freg could hardly find words to describe his current emotions.
Amazement, envy, relief… they all mingled together.
"Congratulations," he said solemnly, bowing to Lynn in the standard magician's salute, filled with reverence.
Now, whether it was in terms of power or status, Lynn had reached a level that required Freg to look up to him.
Lynn obviously hadn't grasped the full significance of being taken as Gladstone's personal disciple.
The news spread through the entire academy the next day.
The academy was in a frenzy.
Lynn had already amazed them numerous times, but this time, it was like a level ten forbidden spell crashing down amidst the Saint Irises Magic Academy.
It was rumored that upon hearing the news, Augustine immediately disbanded the Truth Association, resigned from his position as the Executive Director, and devoted himself entirely to the study of magic.
Three days later, the entire Orlando Empire was shaken.
The pillar of the empire, the saint-level magician Gladstone, had taken a new personal disciple after a century?!
It was breathtaking.
Soon after, stories about Lynn's exploits began to spread.
Entering the academy with double superior-grade talents and directly promoted to the second year…
Becoming a second-level magician just three days after enrollment…
Advancing to the third-level two weeks later and defeating Professor Isha, a sixth-level magician, in the monthly assessment…
In one month, challenging the Magician Trial Tower and clearing it from the first to the forty-first floor, breaking the record set by the top genius, Detheroc…
She was hailed by the faculty and students as the strongest freshman and the most妖孽 talented student in the history of Saint Irises Magic Academy…
Even more astonishingly…
He was also the vice president of the Magic Potion Association.
On the day he joined, he helped the association develop a new type of offensive potion, reviving the association from the brink.
This magic potion was currently being auctioned at 1000 gold coins per bottle on the black market, and the demand still outstripped the supply.
Lynn was also a potion genius!
And he was only sixteen this year…
…
Any one of these achievements would be enough to astonish and admire others if placed on an ordinary person.
But when all these aura were concentrated on one person,
The brilliance was dazzling to the point that everyone cannot open their eyes.
The glow was blinding!
The name of Lynn Lancaster began to frequently appear in the mouths of the aristocracy in high society.
They were curious and eager to see what this genius teenager looked like.
Magic crystals with Lynn's portrait circulated from the academy, and people were surprised to find that this legendary magic genius was even more handsome than imagined.
Countless shy noble maidens longed for the opportunity to meet Lynn.
Even the king of the Orlando Empire was stirred…
"What?!"
Lynn looked up in surprise, "King Levy III is going to knight me?!"
"Uh-huh!"
Dia's quite neutral and delicate face was full of excitement.
"Yes, to be precise, he will ennoble you with a lifelong earldom, and your father will receive a hereditary viscountcy."
Lynn was greatly surprised and looked at Dia with suspicion, "How do you know this so clearly?"
"Because… because…"
A hint of panic flashed across Dia's face as she stammered, "Because the whole imperial capital is talking about it now, and I heard it from someone else…"
"Maybe it's just a rumor…"
Lynn smiled dismissively and kept reading magic book.
"Oh no, it's not a rumor!"
Dia pushed him anxiously, "How could the king's words be false?! The knighting ceremony is tomorrow night, and there will be a grand dinner, with aristocrats from the whole imperial capital attending… Don't forget!"
After saying that, Dia hurriedly left.
Lynn shook his head helplessly.
He felt that Dia was a bit strange today.
Lynn closed the book and headed to Gladstone's residence.
He had now skipped grades directly to the fourth year.
His deep blue robe was replaced with a red one.
He no longer had an instructor, as Gladstone taught him personally.
Walking through the academy, almost everyone knew him.
When he passed by, people would stop, gather around, and chat.
"Look, that's the famous Lynn Lancaster, the number one genius!"
But no one approached to strike up a conversation with him anymore.
Lynn was previously astonishing, but now he had risen to a level where they could only look up to him.
It felt like they weren't in the same world.
"Professor."
Lynn greeted Gladstone respectfully.
Gladstone's face lit up with a relieved smile.
This disciple pleased him too much, not only being clever and outstanding but also coming up with ingenious ideas that even he couldn't help but marvel at.
Moreover, he was diligent and hardworking.
He saw in Lynn a composure that was not found in ordinary teenagers.
"I've noticed that you've been reading books about knight training recently?"
Gladstone couldn't help but ask.
Lynn pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, because I thought I might encounter such opponents in future adventures and battles."
"Hmm… very good."
Gladstone gave him an approving look.
In fact, Lynn was only preparing for the consumption of the "Dragon's Blood Potion."
Calculating the time, Mason's caravan should soon return from the Elf Forest.
With the "Green Truffle," he could try to made the Dragon's Blood Potion.
At that time, his overall strength would see a significant improvement.
"Oh, by the way."
Gladstone seemed to remember something and said, "There will be a dinner at the royal palace tomorrow night, regarding your… knighting ceremony."
Lynn was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Gladstone thought Lynn was surprised by the good news and chuckled, "It's just been moved up. Every magician is eligible for knighthood after graduating from Saint Irises Magic Academy… But for the king to personally knight you, it seems the royal family intends to court you…"
"What rank of knighthood will I be awarded?"
Gladstone shook his head, "I'm not sure, but it will be at least above a viscount…"
Lynn's expression suddenly became extremely strange…
