The Genius Mage

Hearing this, the Elder paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Not yet. Let’s wait a little longer. It’s not time yet.”

Klein’s heart sank, but there was nothing he could do. He could only nod and wait silently by the side.

Time was ticking down, and there was only one hour left. The three of them were worried about Cole and the others, afraid that they would not be able to return on time.

“Audrey, do you think they’ll be able to return?” Klein, who was the most worried, kept asking Audrey. They had spent a lot of effort trying to open the portal, let alone Cole and the others.

“They will,” Audrey said confidently. She believed that Cole, Hobart, and Adrian’s abilities were not inferior to hers.

Klein nodded, and the tension in his heart eased a little.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, there was only half an hour left. The three of them became even more nervous, and their faces were filled with worry. Even the Elder sighed from time to time as if he felt sorry for the three of them.

When there were only ten minutes left, the Elder finally spoke.

“My three classmates, I think your other three companions might not be able to join the Knights Legion with you. Now, I will tell you something about the Knights Legion…” The Elder said as he opened a handbook.

At this moment, the shuttle gate lit up. Then, Cole, Hobart, and Adrian stumbled out of it.

“We’re back!” Cole shouted excitedly.

Hobart and Adrian looked at each other and smiled as if they were relieved.

The Elder who was talking was surprised to see this scene. Then, he was delighted. He did not expect the six kids to be so outstanding. They all joined the Knights. This was unprecedented.

In the past, there were also people who participated with the team, but there were always some team members who chose to give up and could not hold on until the end.

“Congratulations!” The Elder immediately stood up.

“Cole, Hobart, Adrian!” Klein was so excited that he came forward and almost hugged the three of them tightly. Fortunately, Audrey pulled him aside and told him to pay attention to some etiquette.

“We’re back,” Hobart said in an indifferent tone, but his tone was very heavy. This was an order to the dragon-slaying team. They would never give up.

“Welcome and congratulations,” Audrey said concisely, representing all her intentions.

The six of them had a joyful exchange. Only then did they remember that the Elder wanted to inform them of something. They stood in a line obediently and continued to listen to the Elder.

“The Knights Legion are here to serve Spark City. Wherever there is a need, there will be the Knights. This is also your responsibility and obligation. The Knights are divided into one, two, and three levels. Congratulations, all of you have entered level two.”

The Elder briefly introduced, “When you join in the future, you will understand more about the Knights.”

“Thank you, Elder.” The six of them said in unison.

“Alright, hand over the energy balls and go back to rest. Remember to report to the Knights tomorrow morning.” The Elder nodded with a kind smile.

After handing over the energy balls, the six left the Knights.

“What happened over there?” Klein could not help but ask immediately.

Cole and the others also told them about what they had encountered in detail. The six of them shared their experiences on the island for a long time. They did not return to their dormitories until it was getting late.

Ross and Barbara had long heard that Audrey had returned. They waited in their dormitories, but Audrey was nowhere to be seen. They could not help but feel anxious.

“Why don’t we go out and look for her?” Barbara could not help but ask.

Ross was tempted, but she was afraid that he would disturb Audrey from doing something else. “Maybe she’s delayed by something. Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Don’t wait. Let’s go. Let’s go out and take a look.” Barbara revealed a dejected expression. She went forward and pulled Ross, wanting to drag her out with her.

After living together for a long time, the relationship between the two of them was very close. They pushed and shoved each other to the door. Just as they opened the door, they saw Audrey standing outside.

“Audrey, you’re finally back!” Barbara was delighted and immediately hugged her.

Ross was stunned for a moment before hugging her as well.

“Yeah, I’m back. Let go of me, I’m going to be strangled to death by you guys,” Audrey said with a chuckle. She had a high tolerance for her two roommates.

Ross and Barbara smiled embarrassedly before letting go of Audrey and returning to the dormitory.

“We heard that you came back a long time ago. Why did you only come back to the dormitory now?” Ross asked in puzzlement.

“I chatted with them for a while,” Audrey explained calmly. They were naturally referring to the other members of the Dragon Slaying Squad, and Ross and Barbara could understand it very well.

This time, Audrey had been away for half a month. They had long wanted to kill Audrey and were curious about what had happened to her. They kept asking her questions, and Audrey was kind enough to tell them about it.

The incident on the isolated island was a fortuitous encounter for Barbara and Ross outside. The two of them listened to the story with great interest.

“Audrey, thank you for telling us so much. I won’t disturb your rest.”

“Okay,” Audrey replied softly. She was indeed a little tired.

After getting into bed, Audrey fell asleep very quickly. However, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. In the dormitory, Barbara and Ross were already asleep.

At this moment, Audrey was not very sleepy. She thought of the Snow Lotus in the otherworldly realm. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and she still had not made any progress. She had to hurry.
