On this day, another group of guests came to Lister.

They were also Locke's old acquaintances, his former boss, Mallory Francis, the vice dean of the Scilar Magic Academy, his former students Bryce, Cindy, and others, and hundreds of students from the Scilar Magic Academy.

"Boss!"

Locke heard Bryce's voice from far away, "Boss, you are really my idol!"

Looking at Bryce who was rushing toward him, Locke couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He raised his hand and formed a transparent magic shield in front of him, blocking Bryce outside the shield.

Seeing the refusal expression on Locke's face, Bryce smiled awkwardly, "Boss, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still so handsome and rugged."

Locke ignored Bryce's flattery, "You are only a level-4 mage. Have you slack?"

Bryce's face suddenly changed and hurriedly said, "I promise I haven't!"

He couldn't help but add, "Boss, not everyone can compare with a freak like you."

Locke's eyes narrowed, with a hint of coldness flashing in them, "What's wrong? Do you have any opinion?"

Bryce shivered and said, "Boss, you misheard me. I didn't say anything!"

Locke chuckled and didn't really blame him. Although a level-4 mage couldn't be compared to the geniuses in the kingdoms and super forces, Bryce indeed practiced hard so that he was able to raise two levels in a short year.

Locke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared with those super forces and kingdoms, the Grimm Kingdom was really far behind.

Looking at the dense crowd behind Mallory, Locke felt helpless, "Mr. Francis, are you moved the Scilar Magic Academy here?"

"You are right." Mallory blushed and smiled somewhat shyly.

"Are you serious?"

Locke was surprised. Was Mallory willing to give up the academy that he had run for so many years and move to Lister instead?

"Well, in fact, we are going to come to Lister to stay out of sight for the time being." Mallory smiled bitterly.

Hearing Mallory's words, Locke's face changed slightly, "Is the Scilar Magic Academy being attacked?"

Mallory shook his head and said seriously, "Locke, it's quite complicated."

Seeing the serious look on Mallory's face, Locke said to Bryce, "You can wander around the city first. I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

Seeing that Locke and Mallory had something important to do, Bryce and the others nodded and walked toward the castle, talking and laughing.

"Do you still remember the granddaughter of the Dean, Monica?" Mallory asked.

Locke thought for a while and then nodded. They had met each other two times in the Scilar Magic Academy. That girl was quite talented. But what did Monica have to do with their hiding in Lister?

Mallory sighed deeply, "Do you know her current strength?"

Locke didn't understand what Mallory meant for a moment. The last time he saw Monica, she seemed to be a level-3 mage.

Just as Locke was guessing, Mallory let out a sigh of relief, "Level 7. If it weren't for her suppressing all the time, she would have been a level-8 mage now."

Locke was stunned. He remembered that when he met Monica last time, she seemed to be a level-3 mage. In just a year and a half, she had unexpectedly raised four levels so fast! Moreover, this was the result of her intentional suppression?!

Did Monica also has a system like him and also cheated?

However, Locke soon found something wrong. If it was a good thing, then Mallory wouldn't be so upset now.

Seeing the puzzled look on Locke's face, Mallory said in a low voice, "Maybe she was stimulated by you. After you left the academy, Monica practiced madly and broke through to level 4 in a very short time."

Locke asked curiously, "Something happened at this time?"

-n0ve1、com "When the Dean left, he left a secret land. He said that only when Monica became a level-4 mage can she enter the secret land."

Secret land? Locke was slightly stunned and more curious.

A look of helplessness appeared on Mallory's face, he said, "Don't look at me. I don't know what this secret land is and what its function is. At that time, the Dean put the secret land on the back of the mountain. No one else can get close to it except Monica."

"Monica stayed inside for a year. When she came out, she was a level-6 mage. Two months ago, she successfully entered level 7."

"If it weren't for the fact that the secret land was left by the Dean, I would have doubted if Monica had encountered any danger in the secret land and been possessed by those old monsters." While saying that, Mallory's face flashed a trace of lingering fear, "Although Monica's strength has been promoted very fast, it has also created a hidden trouble for her practice."

Mallory continued.

It was not until then that Locke knew that two months ago, the energy in Monica's body suddenly surged. Mallory and several teachers of the Scilar Magic Academy joined hands to suppress it, but they all ended up with serious injuries, and most of the buildings of the magic academy were destroyed.

Fortunately, the riot in Monica's body was also suppressed. However, it was very helpless that the energy in Monica's body tended to go berserk again recently, and the whole academy was filled with a cold atmosphere. Mallory had no choice but to come to Lister for help.

"Where is she now?" Locke asked.

"In the back of the mountain of the Scilar Magic Academy. Several teachers were helping her suppress the energy riot in her body. But in three days at most, the energy in Monica's body would fully erupt." Mallory said bitterly.

Locke directly said without hesitation, "Then we'd better set off as soon as possible. I don't want my first magic academy as a teacher to collapse like this."

Mallory nodded.

Although the situation was urgent, the teleportation site had been established between Lister and the County City. In half an hour, Locke and Mallory had arrived at the County City.

Without wasting any time, they flew straight for the back of the mountain of the Scilar Magic Academy.

As soon as Locke stepped into the back of the mountain, he felt a strong chill. His divine consciousness extended over there.

He saw Monica floating in mid-air, surrounded by blue ice magic energy. However, these surging energies were blocked by a magic array, and only a few of them leaked out from the magic array. Around her, six teachers were constantly infusing energy into the magic array to maintain its operation.

The six teachers were wrapped in thick overcoats, and their bodies were trembling because of the cold. One of them even had ice crystals on his eyebrows.
