Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 436: Chapter 435: Five-Colored Magic Robe

“This is very telling,” Morris said gravely. “The Wind Thunder Robe is a unique creation by Hotter’s boss, and only those he approves of can obtain it. You and I are both in the same boat, which makes us insiders, members of the ‘Five-Colored Magic Robe’.”

Morris did not merely talk; he followed Ivan’s lead and began to disrobe, slipping on the Wind Thunder Robe over his body and then donning his sorcerer robe once again.

He nodded satisfactorily at last.

His behavior left Ivan completely bewildered, watching him with a puzzled expression.

“Uh—Before this, I hadn’t thought of wearing two sorcerer robes, but you’ve got a way; it does work quite well. You must feel that Hotter’s boss’s Wind Thunder Robe is too unique and does not fit my usual understated style,” Morris explained, somewhat embarrassed.

“What is this ‘Five-Colored Magic Robe’ you’re talking about?” Ivan asked, slightly incredulous.

...

“Don’t you know? It’s an organization founded by Hotter’s boss, and only those he approves can join. The Wind Thunder Robe is the symbol and token of membership,” Morris responded with surprise.

Should I know?

Ivan was left speechless. The President of Hotter had not mentioned this before, nor had he been asked to sign any contracts. Who would have thought that a special sorcerer robe could serve as the emblem of an organization?

He was not averse to it, knowing there were many such organizations in the sorcerer world.

“To be honest, I’ve been staying on the Chanay continent and haven’t signed any contracts in this regard.”

“You shouldn’t worry about it; Hotter’s boss’s approval is key for the Five-Colored Magic Robe. Moreover, we in the Five-Colored Magic Robe are not particularly fussy, and we don’t make demands or force anyone to do anything. Everyone just does as they please.

However, since we’re all insiders, if we see others in a difficult situation, we should try to lend a hand where we can.”

Morris’s attitude and tone revealed an admiration for Hotter that was entirely different from before.

Ivan could tell it wasn’t an act.

He was about to say something when Morris started to pour out his troubles, talking about how the Pure White Tower not only failed to bring him adulation from those around him but also made him the subject of ridicule, much to his annoyance.@@novelbin@@

He was not to be outdone.

It was only then that Morris wanted Ivan, the creator of the Pure White Eyes, to come forward and clarify that, although the Pure White Tower originated from the Pure White Eyes, it was in fact a new entity and should not be confused with the original.

Ivan understood; Morris was being ridiculed by people in their circle and was eager to prove himself.

…

Shortly afterward, with a gentle sound, the Pure White Tower reopened.

The group outside hurried over only to find the two men emerging from the tower, no longer in the confrontational stance from before but seemingly engaged in a convivial conversation.

“Ha ha, no need for you all to be tense, Ivan and I have turned from foes to friends. No, we were never really enemies to begin with, and now even less so,” Morris declared with a smile.

“Morris, what’s going on?” Tuya asked, eyes wide with confusion.

“Ivan has recognized my Pure White Tower, and having found common ground, we have become friends.”

“Yes, Morris is right.”

Regardless of what the others thought, Morris and Ivan were consistent in their stories, indeed appearing to have made peace and even looking like long-time friends.

The others didn’t feel it was their place to ask too many questions, choosing instead to keep their curiosity in check.

“Sorcerer Ivan, since it’s your first visit to Sky Flow Valley, how about I show you around? There’s nowhere here I’m not familiar with,” Morris suggested.

“Let’s talk about that later. I need to return to the airship and wait for Chairman Hadi to see what plans he has.”

“That’s fine, it’s not urgent. Let’s head back to the airship together; ours is docked over there too.”

Subsequently, the group left the site of the Pure White Tower and returned to the old site of the Sky Flow Academy.

The events that had taken place earlier were witnessed by all, not just by the sorcerers aboard the Cloud Shuttle but by sorcerers on other airships as well.

Many had assumed the two factions were at loggerheads, bound to erupt into a fierce clash.

Seeing the two men laughing and chatting on their way back to the square was somewhat incredible to the onlookers.

It makes no sense!

On one hand was a young talent from a division, and on the other was a young noble from the headquarters.

Generally speaking, harmony like what was now visible would only appear after one side had submitted to the other. Both were clearly not ordinary people; how could they have been so easily subdued? In that case–

“Sorcerer Ivan, once you’ve made your arrangements, remember to come find me. I’ll introduce you to Sky Flow Valley.”

“Thank you very much! Wizard Morris, your Round Tower is indeed remarkable, far surpassing my Pure White Eyes in monitoring spatial disruption. I’ve gained a lot today, and I’ll certainly be able to further perfect the Pure White Eyes when I get back.”

“Haha, it’s not worth mentioning. I’m still far behind you.”

While others couldn’t make heads or tails of it, Ivan and Morris exchanged a few words and then parted ways.

Ivan returned to the deck of the Cloud Shuttle and found that many sorcerers hadn’t left, including Ungar, who was looking utterly befuddled.

“Has the Chairman issued any new orders?” Ivan asked proactively, meeting his gaze.

“Not yet.”

“Then I’ll head back to my room first. I need to organize what I’ve just realized.”

After saying this, he left, leaving behind a group of Enchanters on the deck, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Actually, Ivan was not actually making an excuse, for Morris had directly gifted him the schematics of the Round Tower. According to Morris, they were all on the same side now, and there was no need to quibble over so much.

Being on the same side, of course, meant there was no trade, just mutual aid.

Since they were on the same side, Ivan didn’t hold back. After all, he wouldn’t allow Morris to suffer any loss.

What he didn’t know was that the Chairman he was muttering about was also looking down at the airship square, showing a hint of disappointment on his face that the two hadn’t come to blows.

“Did they know each other before?” At a window in a sorcerer tower, Hardy Charosi remarked in surprise.

“Who knows? What concern of ours are the matters of the younger generation? I think you’re simply too idle, which is why you have the leisure to stand here and watch the excitement.”

Beside him was another older figure, also dressed as an Enchanter of the School of Space.

If a familiar person were present, they would recognize him as the Lord of the Yu Mountain—Doradoli Obaba, also a faction leader within the School of Space.

“That’s easy for you to say, yet here you are as well.”

“Enough talk. I’ve told you to bring that lad to Sky Flow Valley numerous times, but you’ve always made excuses. Look at the innovations he’s made; he doesn’t seem like one of our School of Space. Wizard Spencer has several times suggested that I transfer him to the School of Energy Shaping. Every time I see that self-satisfied look on his face, it truly infuriates me.”

“Don’t lay it on me; you didn’t agree either.”

“We of the School of Space finally have a promising youngster, do you think I would agree?”

“Don’t drag me into this; I belong to an intermediate school.”

Hearing this, Hardy quickly disassociated himself from the matter. Without waiting for Doradoli to say anything more, he teleported out of the sorcerer tower and rushed toward the Cloud Shuttle.

That afternoon, Ivan and his party finally got their new lodging, so they wouldn’t need to squeeze into the narrow rooms in the airship anymore.

Of course, with so many sorcerers pouring into Sky Flow Valley, the places they were allocated couldn’t compare to their original dwellings. Ivan only got a two-story, standalone Round Tower.

Although the Round Tower appeared small from the outside, it was quite spacious inside; each level had been significantly extended through spatial techniques.

The School of Space was abundant in such techniques, saving him the effort of doing it himself.

The next day, all members of the School of Space were summoned for a formal introduction.

In total, there were over three hundred people, including Enchanters from the Chanay division, Sky Flow Valley division, White Fish Continent division, Red Dragon Continent division, and from the main headquarters on Bai Ta Continent.

Unquestionably, Ivan was the most famous among these three hundred-plus people, with countless individuals wanting to be acquainted with him.

Next was Morris—many were aware that he shared a surname with the leader of the school.

However, these two most noticeable individuals stood together, undoubtedly disappointing many, especially those from the main headquarters at Bai Ta Continent.

Ivan, on the other hand, was quite content.

With Morris supporting him, those with any ulterior motives also laid to rest their flags and drums. Guided by Morris’s introduction, Ivan was easily accepted by the members from the Bai Ta Continent headquarters, at least superficially.
