Chapter 150 The Curtain Comes to an End
A new day has arrived and the chaos of the night has come to an end.

Compared with yesterday, there are seven fewer apprentices. They all took advantage of the ocean current to return to the spire early. Some lost the hope of collecting the water-burning bubble fruit, but some achieved their set goals.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the density of the ripening of the water-scalded bubble fruit increased.

Ivan was busy capturing 14 Water Bubble Fruits. So far, he had a total of 56, enough to exchange for a portion of Alva Water.

Not far away, Wallban had swept away yesterday's gloom and had obviously made good gains.

"It's time to leave."

A moment later, the apprentices bid farewell to this special secret place one by one with the help of ocean current columns, and their destination was still the original spire on the sea.

At the bottom level of the spire, Ivan emerged from the protective membrane and landed lightly on the ground.

He noticed many eyes were on him, including some from wizards.

"Good boy, well done." Wizard Pence couldn't help but walk closer and praise.

"What do you mean?" Ivan was unsure of the other party's attitude and did not dare to speak rashly.

"Of course you were in the secret realm exterminating those puppet creatures. You may not know that the last mutated creature is called 'Blood Hunter'. It is a highly dangerous creature that is strictly prohibited by the upper echelons. You slapped it well."

Pence pulled him to the side and started talking.

"It is my duty to contribute to the academy." Ivan said modestly.

"Haha, you are an enchanter, right?" Pence asked with a smile.

"Correct."

"Which wizard is the mentor?"

"Randall the wizard from the enchantment group."

"So it's him. I know him." Pence suddenly realized and muttered, "He's a bug barbarian. He looks honest on the outside, but he's actually cunning and not serious about his job. You must not learn from him."

Is this the reputation that the tutor has outside?
Ivan felt a little embarrassed and had to pretend he didn't hear it.

"Let's not talk about your mentor anymore. Go back and work hard. I'm waiting to hear the news that you've become a first-level wizard. When the time comes, you're welcome to visit Torrent Twin Towers Academy. We can discuss enchantment knowledge."

“I made it myself.”

Inside the spire, all the apprentices had gathered. Pence didn't say much, but finally handed him a scroll, saying it was an enchanted work he had made himself.

For Ivan, objects are secondary. This kind of intimate attitude that implicitly regards him as a member of the wizarding world shows that they are optimistic about his becoming a formal wizard, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement.

This scene caught the eyes of many people.

Many apprentices showed envy in their eyes. They could understand why Wizard Burns valued it.

When he first arrived at the spire, Ivan was very inconspicuous among a group of third-class apprentices, and many people who knew his background looked down on him. Now, after a series of battles in the secret realm, no one would regard him as an ordinary person anymore. Such a person should not be underestimated anywhere.

"I'm glad you guys are back safely."

"Now please hand over all the Bubble Fruits. Do not keep any of them for yourself. Please do not say that I did not warn you."

Pence clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. His gentle attitude changed and he made an announcement to all the apprentices.

According to the rules of the academy, the formula of the spiritual power potion is forbidden to be sold privately, and anything related to the Water of Alva is prohibited from entering the market, including information about the Secret Realm of the Flash Vortex.

The Water of Alva is related to the promotion of wizards and can be regarded as the forbidden delicacy of the Sparkling Vortex Academy Alliance.

As the main ingredient for refining Alva Water, secretly hoarding the Water Bubble Fruit is a serious crime.

After hearing what Pence said, the apprentices handed in all the Bubble Fruits they had worked so hard to catch. The number was recorded in a book, and they could receive the corresponding Alva Water when they returned to the academy.

The person who collected a portion of Alva Water looked calm, unable to hide the satisfaction on his face.

The apprentice who didn't gather the complete group suddenly had a look of dejection on his face. This trip was in vain, and he also wasted the only chance to enter the Flash Vortex Secret Realm.

Pence then announced on behalf of the College Alliance:

"I will now announce the reward for clearing out the invaders. Ivan Marichatton of the Mona Ant Farm Hut has defeated many puppet creatures that destroyed the secret realm and will receive a portion of premium Alva Water."

"Leah Singer's Sanctuary, Kadesi Dunlo, actively participated in clearing out puppet creatures and invaders, and was awarded a medium-level Alva Water."

"In the Mona Ant Farm Hut, Wayne Steele, he killed the bandit leader and many other invaders, and obtained a portion of inferior Alva Water."

"above."

No one would dispute that Ivan made the greatest contribution.

The second and third ones are not so certain, but since they were decided by the wizards, the others can only accept them.

In the crowd, Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because this way he could get two portions of Alva Water, one of which was of top quality.

"See you next time, Ivan."

"See you next time."

Now that everything was settled, it was time for them to leave the spire.

Walking out of the spire, the same four ships were still outside, and people from the four academies returned to their own ships.

The ship set sail, and soon the spire was out of sight.

"Don't go near Jefferson's room. He is a traitor who is colluding with both insiders and outsiders." Bernardson suddenly warned on the deck. Hearing this, Ivan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I didn't kill him directly, otherwise I would have been suspected, which would have been bad.

No wonder he attacked me, probably because I ruined their plan.

However, Jefferson seemed to have jumped out on his own. Could it be that he knew in advance that his identity was exposed, so he chose to fight to the death? This is problematic. Jefferson is more like a discarded pawn thrown out at random.

The more Ivan thought about it, the more confusing things seemed.

"Evan, the heart obtained from the blood hunter is contraband and needs to be handed over to me."

"No problem, Wizard Bernardson."

Bernardson's next words interrupted his deep thoughts, and Ivan handed over the two halves of the black heart as he was told. It was an item of uncertain value, so he didn't feel sorry about handing it over.

He didn't continue thinking about Jefferson's question. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to come to the Flash Vortex Secret Realm in the future, so it had little to do with him.

The others went back to the house first. Ivan took a last look at the sea behind him, at the almost invisible lonely tower on the sea, and walked slowly towards the room on the boat.

"Ivan."

"Is something wrong?"

There was a man standing at the side alley, who called out to Ivan.

Wayne was dressed in an exquisite wizard robe. He always had a faint fragrance on his body. No one knew what the problem was. In Ivan's opinion, it was just a strange hobby, which was incompatible with the profession of a wizard apprentice.

Maybe it's the willfulness of genius.

"My dear friend, you did a great job this time. I'm beginning to be interested in you, just like I am in Cam. I like talented young people like you." Wayne stared at him with his sharp eyes and spoke in a serious and gentle tone.

Ivan remembered that this was the tone he used when speaking to Cam.

When their eyes met, Ivan realized that the other person's gaze had a different meaning, a different kind of affection and charm, and he shuddered for no reason.

It turns out that this famous genius is this kind of person, as crazy as ever.

This kind of thing would not be a big deal if it did not happen to him, but when it happened to him, Ivan just felt uncomfortable all over. Now that he thinks about it, Cam's disgust and resistance are not unreasonable.

"I can't compare to you. One of you has a fifth-class talent and the other has a fourth-class talent, while I only have a third-class talent. Just thinking about it makes me feel that my future is uncertain."

"Alas, with my talent I shouldn't be chatting here. I have to hurry up and work hard. Goodbye."

Ivan didn't give him a chance to speak. He said a few nonsense and hurried away.

"Interesting, indeed interesting." Looking at the departing figure, Wayne's eyes flickered with alternating charm and coldness, making it difficult to see clearly.

This time on the return trip, the ship is sailing directly towards the Mona Ant Hut. According to the time of the trip, it will take a day and a half to sail, and will probably arrive late tomorrow night.

The ship was not big and there were even fewer people on board, so each apprentice was assigned a spacious room.

Walban and his room were close together. When Ivan passed by, he found the door open. He couldn't help but take a look and found Walban sitting in the chair facing the door.

"What? You don't want to leave." Walban saw it and joked.

"After all, my highlight moments are buried in it, haha." Ivan said with a laugh.

After fighting side by side again, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.

"Do you know Wayne?"

"He's a bit domineering, not sociable, but he doesn't do any bad things." Walban thought for a moment and simply stated, "The most talked about thing is that he has a fifth-level talent, is a nemesis of his teammates, and his last name is 'Steele'. Why are you asking about him?"

"Just asking casually, it seems like that guy is weird." Ivan said vaguely. He turned around and went back to his room. When he closed the door, he heard a message from Walban through his spiritual power.

"Ivan, it's best not to get too close to the children of those wizard families. They are not the same kind of people as us. There is no benefit in getting close to them."

Ivan looked up at him in surprise, but he didn't show any intention of explaining, as if the words were not his.

Why has this guy become so weird?

Ivan secretly complained in his heart that among the children of the wizard family, he only had a good relationship with Camille. Camille's attitude was written all over her face, so she was a good friend.

He was too lazy to think about it, and prepared to have a good rest after returning to the house. Suddenly he remembered something and took out a scroll from his pocket. This was something that Wizard Pence had stuffed into his pocket, saying that it was an item he had made himself.

“It’s this thing.”

When he opened it, he was stunned. A familiar re-sealing rune came into his sight. It was the same re-sealing scroll used to seal items, just like the one Heidi had taken out before. It was equivalent to a low-profile space equipment.

Wizard Pence actually gave him such a priceless magical item.

All in all, the two sides only met twice and didn't say much.

Little did he know that Pence had once wanted to take him in as his disciple and pass on his knowledge of enchantment.

With one more thing he couldn't figure out, Ivan fell asleep soon.

He hadn't had much rest in the past few days, so he slept very soundly. When he woke up, it was already early the next morning.

The Flash Vortex Bay is equivalent to the territory of the Flash Vortex Academy Alliance. Of course, nothing will go wrong in their own territory. The ship had a smooth journey, and they returned to Fengwan City and the territory of the Mona Ant Land Hut late at night.
