Chapter 249 Things have changed

In the teaching area, on the wide open space in front of the teaching building, a large number of people gathered, which was unusual. There were wizards who were rarely seen in normal days, and apprentices who were busy earning credits. Everyone in the academy was present.

The team was divided into six parts, namely the cultivation group, enchantment group, potion group, picket team, patrol team and hunting team, with clear distinctions between the teams.

"What's going on? Why is the academy making such a big fuss this time?"

"I haven't heard of it. I haven't seen such a gathering since I entered the Mona Ant Farm. Are they going to go to war with other forces?"

"I hope not."

The wizards were in front of the team, and many of them couldn't help but ask the people next to them, but everyone was confused and didn't know what had happened.

At the back of the team, the apprentices who were summoned knew nothing and did not dare to discuss anything.

After a while, two vice-presidents and four deacons appeared together, but none of them went up to the platform in front of the teaching building, but stood below the platform.

It can be seen that a certain deacon has a strange look on his face.

As we all know, the most important characters usually appear last.

"Quiet."

Chief Deacon Ofu said softly.

Everyone stopped talking at the right time and stared quietly ahead.

In the sight of everyone, two figures flashed onto the high platform. The people below took a closer look and many wizards recognized them: one was Dean Wakin and the other was Wizard Ivan.

"Dear wise wizards and diligent apprentices, it has been a long time since we last met. Your dean is back."

"Dean Wakin, welcome back. We extend our warmest greetings to you."

Looking at the old man with a mustache on the stage, the wizards below did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly greeted him. The apprentices at the back followed suit, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Hahaha, no need to be so polite. Thanks to your day and night guarding, the academy has been able to maintain its former glory. It makes an old man like me feel at home when I come back. Thank you for your hard work." Dean Wakin said with a smile.

After a pause of one or two seconds, he announced directly: "I want to share a good news with everyone. Recently, we have a second-level wizard in our Mona Ant Farm Hut."

The pupils of many wizards shrank slightly, and their eyes unconsciously fell on another figure on the stage. An idea that made people unbelievable but had to be believed emerged.

In the Moonclamp Peninsula, resources and opportunities have always been scarce. Only one in a hundred people can embark on the path of a wizard. Even so, there are at least tens of thousands of apprentices.

Among these apprentices, only thousands can become official wizards.

However, those who can go on to become second-level wizards are very few and far between, and they are rare to see in a century.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared in front of them, and he was someone they were all familiar with.

"Your guess is correct. He is Wizard Ivan Marichatton. Let us cheer for the newly promoted Level 2 Wizard, Wizard Marichatton."

After hearing Dean Wakin's personal confirmation, the audience had different reactions. Some cheered for the new second-level wizard as he was told, some secretly pinched their thighs and still refused to believe it, and some started thinking about how to curry favor with him.

"In addition, I have another appointment to announce. From today on, Ivan Marichatton will become the second dean of the academy, directly in charge of the enchantment group and the patrol team. Matters of these two departments will be decided by dean Marichatton, and no one else may disobey his orders."

When this appointment came out, many wizards couldn't help but feel a huge wave of emotion in their hearts, secretly exclaiming "the world has changed".

You know, the enchantment group has always been the territory of Lydia's family, and the patrol team is nominally under the command of the deacon Zhan Xins, but in fact it includes a large number of people who have defected to the three major families. Even Zhan Xins' own position is very vague.

Today, two departments are run by a second-level wizard. It is conceivable that there will be absolutely no room for the three major families to intervene in the future.

If this isn’t a change of circumstances, then what is?
Many wizards looked between the two people on the stage, hoping to see some clues. Why did Dean Wakin delegate so much power to Wizard Marichatton? No, it should be Dean Marichatton.

Some people also looked at Doris and James with strange expressions. Although their faces looked a little bad, they did not say anything to refute them, not even a word.

"I have met Dean Marichaton."

Like the other wizards, Doris and James then greeted the new headmaster again, without any disrespect in their attitude.

As the second dean in sequence, Ivan gave a few polite words to the people below, then announced that the meeting had come to a successful conclusion, and left first with Dean Wakin.

After the crowd dispersed, the impact of the rally had just begun to ferment, leaving many people feeling like they had to get it off their chest.

The hunting team, Chris Donner hurried back to his own territory, and many wizards followed him, including Andaya and his apprentice. The change of power in the academy naturally had a great impact on the hunting team, making people feel a little at a loss.

Seeing that Chris Donald had no intention of calling anyone to discuss the matter, everyone looked at each other, and in the end, Andaya had to go into the office to find out the situation.

"Head Deacon, are you okay?"

"What could it be? I have to thank Dean Marichatton for not taking a liking to our hunting team, otherwise I would not be the head deacon anymore."

"Please don't say that. Our relationship with the new dean has always been good. He has no reason to target the hunting team. Isn't his choice to intervene in the patrol team the best proof? As far as I know, Wizard Ivan is a man who cherishes old times." After listening to Andaya's analysis, Chris Donnell nodded slightly, agreeing with these words.

However, Chris Donner still felt a little uncomfortable, as there were some questions that he really couldn't figure out.

"Let me ask you a question. Do you think he became a second-level wizard by using the Ant-Man Altar or by borrowing the power of the Star-Moon Alliance?"

Andaya was silent, she had no answer in her heart.

"Hey! How could he get what I have been searching for for decades in one fell swoop? And right under all of our noses, how could he do that?"

"I admit that my enchantment skills are not as good as his, but - hey, I'm not that bad, right? Andaya."

If we talk about the inner shock that Ivan felt after becoming a second-level wizard and the dean of the academy and seizing power in two departments, Chris Donnell is definitely at the top of the list.

"Of course not, you are a wizard of extraordinary talent and the wisest wizard in my mind." Andaya replied in a soft but firm tone.

"Thank you, thank you for your affirmation." Chris Donald was stunned for a moment, and feeling the tenderness and worry in her eyes, his expression became brighter.

The two looked at each other, and a different feeling spread.

This made Andaya feel particularly intoxicated, thinking that this person finally responded to her.

Before she could indulge herself for long, she heard Chris Donner's question:
"do you have any good advice?"

"We and Dean Marichatton are allies. Strength is everything. Now we can legitimately move closer to him. This way, the power of the academy will tend to be balanced, which will benefit us all more than it will harm us."

Andaya was not a person who only cared about love, and she immediately gave pertinent advice. Putting aside the past, accepting the protection of the new dean would definitely be a good choice.

Chris Donnell fell into thought, and after a while, he agreed with a complicated expression.

……

The emergence of a new second-level wizard made it difficult for the apprentices to remain calm, not to mention the wizards' own interests, especially those who were familiar with Ivan.

Living area, a student dormitory.

As apprentices who all came from Tidal Island and joined the academy at the same time, Conley, Meili, Ed and others have always maintained close contact and form a relatively united small group among the apprentices.

"He was a first-level wizard and we were apprentices. He became a second-level wizard and we are still apprentices."

They were silent for a moment, and Prince Conley spoke with emotion.

From apprentice to official wizard, some people make the step easily, while others seem to be climbing a chasm. Moreover, the majority of people are those who climb the chasm.

So far, several people from Tidal Island are still lingering in the apprenticeship stage, and the same is true for Conley, who is fourth-level talent.

In fact, Conley failed in his previous promotion.

Others who are not as talented as him are influenced by him and are reluctant to take that step.

However, their former companions had become high and mighty beings, which made them feel emotional and at a loss at the same time.

They couldn't help but think that everyone came to the college by boat, but some people seemed to have no difficulties and made rapid progress, while they encountered obstacles at every step, and some even dared not to cross them. It was really puzzling.

"He's different from us." Ed shook his head after hearing Conley's words.

"Yes, he is different from us." Mei Li agreed.

The others nodded in agreement, either quickly or slowly, as if only in this way could they resolve the confusion in their hearts and avoid making wrong judgments and mistakes.

"Mei Li, you are from the patrol team, which means you are his subordinate. You can actually find a chance to visit him and ask him for some advice." Conley suddenly made a suggestion.

Being in the same academy, it is actually difficult for wizards and apprentices to have any interactions without a master-disciple relationship. They haven't seen Ivan for several years.

"Not right, not right. It was fine before because he was a first-level wizard, but now - the gap is too big." Mei Li thought about it and rejected it without hesitation. "However, there is one person we can try to contact, after all, we are both from Tidal Island."

"Are you talking about that Madam Jiushi?" Conley immediately guessed who it was.

"Yes."

"That's a good idea. You are all from Flying Fish Harbor. I guess you have a lot to talk about."

Thinking of the woman named 'Jiusiti', Conley and his companions felt a little regretful. She only had second-rate talent and a weak personality. It could be said that she had no hope of becoming a formal wizard, so they did not deliberately make friends with her.

Who could have thought that the other party had such a keen eye that he directly selected a person with great potential and followed him all the way to the Wizarding Academy.

Today, the man she chose has become one of the most important figures in Yueqian Peninsula. Naturally, his status has risen and he has become the object of currying favor with many people.

This is really unpredictable!
