“Are you satisfied?”

After announcing the judgement of the incident, the old man looked stratght into Links eyes. His voice was slightly heavy as he asked the question.

Link responded calmly, neither subservient nor overbearing, neither ecstatic nor worried. “Thank you for upholding justice.”

“Hehe.”

The old man chuckled lightly and waved his hand, seemingly losing interest. “You’re young and reserved. Go now, you may leave.

Link, holding Jasmine’s hand, bowed to the old man before leaving the office.

Upon leaving the administrative building, Link found that his back was soaked in sweat.

The pressure and oppression from the old man’s casual glance were so immense that Link was still not over them.

“We’re safe now, right, Link?”

Jasmine’s little heart was pounding with lingering fear.

She began to realize that her final answer to the question seemed crucial.

“We’re fine. The academy wouldn’t deceive us,” Link replied as he managed his emotions, reassuring Jasmine at the same time

The incident of Erick ambushing them but getting killed instead was indeed concluded just like that.

However, the source of the problem still remained.

Besides the dead Erick, there was Rives Francis with a ruined future, as well as

Mina Havcheck who instigated the situation behind the scenes.

But Link was in no hurry to challenge them openly.

For starters, he didn’t have the spare time, nor was he absolutely stronger than them;

Moreover, Rivers was being detained, still awaiting the college’s penalty. It was uncertain when he would be released, and targeting Rivers directly would not be feasible for now;

And lastly, against Mina Havcheck, who would likely be in the school’s radar after stirring up several incidents, it was better not to move recklessly.

After giving it much thought, Link had no choice but to admit that Mina Havcheck had played her cards equally well in her game of power. She was a tough one to deal with.

Not only did she settle the issue with Erick, but she also took revenge on Link in the process.

Thinking about this, Link couldn’t help but sigh.

This woman held grudges like none other.

After a single sarcastic comment on his part and a slightly strident attitude towards her, she had harbored resentment.

This woman also had a sharp learning curve.

Having instigated a conflict between Rives and Erick and provoked them into fighting each other, she merely played observer throughout, yet she learned a huge deal from it.

As such, Link’s wariness towards Mina Havcheck greatly increased.

It wasn’t a fearsome foe he worried about, but a sinister one!

If he could not seize the opportunity to eliminate the enemy once and for all, then it was best to keep a safe distance.

If they couldn’t be dealt with, then avoid them!

Hiding until he grew stronger, appeared to be a good strategy.

Setting aside these concerns, Link began to reflect on the process of the battle, introspecting on where he might have faltered or made mistakes.

To acknowledge one’s mistakes and make corrections is the key to continuous improvement.

Firstly, sensing the attack and immediately hiding himself between the transitions was the correct move.

However, casting the secondary Misty Rain Technique to conjure a dense fog was questionable.

Fortunately, his opponent was Erick this time, a second-rank wizard apprentice with an affinity for light and metal systems and had no means to dissipate the dense fog.

If his opponent had the means to disperse the dense fog, he would not fear the low visibility from outside the fog to inside, and could simply blow the fog away.

Consequently, he should prepare several ways to camouflage himself, either by water or wood system magic, preferably both.

Next, there was no battle plan or, to put it plainly, there was no definitive plan of attack. The strategy was changed several times leading to unnecessary efforts.

Looking back at this battle, the initial tactic of buying time and waiting for the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet to arrive was undoubtedly the most feasible.

However, the move from the shadows to the forefront with the intent to kill was a serious misstep.

Even if you want to attack, you could start with stealth attacks.

There was no need for a head-on confrontation.

in future battles, the first thing to do is to accurately assess the strengths of both sides as quickly as possible and formulate highly feasible battle plans.

Even if met with special circumstances that require on-the-spot changes, one should not act like a brute, relying entirely on intuition and spur-of-the-moment decisions.

Fighting a divine battle may seem impressive, but it is too risky.

Link prefers stability.

Furthermore, he overestimated his own defense and underestimated his opponent’s attack power.

Even though he was wearing a first-ring magic vest, his head and limbs were exposed.

With the pathetic defensive power of the Water Shield Spell, it can’t block even the Metal Arrows, let alone the Self-Destructing Fire Thunder.

Luckily, Erick was severely injured and disabled, making it hard for him to move.

Otherwise, the outcome of this battle, who lives and dies, was uncertain.

Last but not least, his own attack power was too low.

Of the witchcraft he had learned, only the Water Ball Spell, Leaf Arrow Spell, and Thorn Entanglement could be used for attack.

Let’s not even talk about the Water Ball Spell which was prepared for learning other spells.

The Leaf Arrow Spell could be fully utilized, such as hiding in a dense fog and using the silent nature of the Leaf Arrow Spell for surprise attacks.

Even if it can’t do much damage or kill the enemy, it can definitely affect the morale of the opponent, inflict some damage, creating an unusual effect of bleeding.

The Thorn Entanglement performed very well in this battle, and Link used it at the right times and in the right ways.

On reflection, Link realized that “Philius Flitwick’s Talent for Spellcasting” not only offers a big bonus for learning and mastering witchcraft but also helps a lot in the rhythm, timing, and combination of spell casting during battles. Upon further thought, this is very reasonable.

After all, in his youth, Professor Flitwick was a formidable warrior who won the International Dueling Championship.

He was even so absorbed in dueling that he invented a spell for it!

Link sighed again, those ten magic stones were well spent, and even beyond their value.

Praise the system.

As for the spell-breaking sleeve crossbow that did such great work, it’s not without its drawbacks. Its attack mode is too homogeneous, and its attack power could be improved.

It’s already late today. After the exam tomorrow, should I buy one or two Attack Rune Items?

Thinking of this, Link turned to Jasmine and reminded, “I thinkyou need to have one or two pieces of equipment that increase mobility and defense.” “Hmm.”

Jasmine nodded vigorously.

If you could say the New Blood Mutual Aid Association picnic by the lake has transformed Jasmine from a noble lady to a qualified Storm Sea New Blood. Then today’s skirmish has presented the cold-blooded, cruel side of the Wizard World to jasmine in the most direct and naked way, making her no longer have any illusions.

Especially when that metal arrow whistled and jabbed into the ground just a step away from her.

The feeling of helplessness, when you can’t defend or dodge and can only let fate decide, still gives Jasmine the jitters.

She fully understood her mother’s intention when she secretly gave her the Flying Needle Hidden Weapon.

She also finally fully understood why Link was studying so hard and desperately increasing his strength, as if someone was chasing him down from behind.

There really is someone chasing from behind.

If you lag behind, you will get beaten.

If you are weak, you will be killed!
