"Who cares what organisation it is? Haven't you seen how menacing and troublesome these fellows look? Let's get out of here first, we'll talk later."
In the blink of an eye, Lecture Hall Nine was left with nearly eighty Crimson Banner members surrounding a dozen terrified newcomers from the Wizard Continent. The fellow who’d earlier boasted that Grimm and his crew wouldn’t last six months now looked deathly pale, his forehead glistening with cold sweat. One could almost sense the trembling beneath his robes.
"You... you lot? This is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding..."
His words came out slurred. This man, Torris, no longer cared about maintaining his composure, his voice nearly breaking into tears.
Who would have thought such a formidable organisation existed among this year's intake?

Chapter 103 : The Ruined Tower (Part 2)
With a creak, the wooden door slammed shut. Grimm felt a sudden chill run down his spine. He whipped his head around, but saw no one. The wooden door remained as rotten and dilapidated as ever, looking as though it might collapse completely at the slightest pressure. Grimm's expression grew tense, yet he kept repeating to himself: "None of this is real. None of this is real..." Gradually, his breathing steadied. "Huh? Can't use magic?" Grimm discovered with surprise that no matter how he tried, he couldn't summon the fire element to light his way. Blocking a wizard apprentice from casting spells required absolute control over natural energies. Grimm was certain that even a third-level Grand Wizard, though capable of suppressing the leverage of their magic array to the limit, could never prevent him from casting spells. Huff... "Since I can't cast spells... then I won't use them. This dilapidated water tower may be famous, but I've never heard of anyone dying here." W
Chapter 102 : The Ruined Tower (Part One)
The next day, Grimm purchased a large quantity of wands from the Fat Man. He even made a special trip to the third floor of Blackstone Spire, to the hut of the wizard Xinluwu, where he acquired several elemental wands of different attributes that the Fat Man did not carry. Back in the laboratory, Grimm had laid out ten wands before him—fire, water, ice, wood, wind, lightning, earth, light, dark, and life—the most common elemental wands for wizard apprentices. A shared characteristic among these wands was that the sealed magical energy levels all fell between 20 and 30 degrees. This meant that, aside from the Masque of the Formless being immune to energy attacks below 20 degrees, Grimm did not channel any magic power into the Masque. Consequently, any excess energy from the wands' attacks would be absorbed entirely by Grimm. However, even attacks below ten degrees could easily kill Grimm, whose Constitution was only four. Therefore, Grimm had to keep a Life Tree Leaf in his
Chapter 101: Passive Evolution
After Queen Lafey's outburst, the matter of Grimm attending the Crimson Banner gathering was essentially settled. Rather than waste time on other matters, Grimm preferred to immerse himself in the study of more profound witchcraft knowledge. Thus, as soon as the Crimson Banner gathering concluded, Grimm bid Lafey a brief farewell and headed straight for Blackstone Spire. With several days remaining before Mentor Peranos formally began teaching him witchcraft, Grimm needed to conduct some experiments during this interim. Just as he was about to depart alone, Yoric called out to Grimm, accompanied by a young sorceress apprentice. "Hmm?" When Grimm recognized Ilaritwen beside Yoric, he instantly understood their purpose, a faint smile flickering beneath his pale mask. During the trials, while "competing" for the first secret realm reward, Grimm had indeed inadvertently saved this apprentice witch once. Presumably, that was why she had come. Ilaritwen wasn't particularly
Chapter 100: Reorganization
Having reclaimed everything that belonged to him, Grimm lay lazily on his bed in the small cabin, breathing in that familiar scent. For a moment, life felt so incredibly beautiful. Phew... Truth be told, the memories of that interrogation room were nothing short of nightmarish for Grimm. Fortunately, he had emerged unscathed and ultimately gained the recognition of the great wizard Peranos, becoming his third disciple. A Level 3 wizard—this was the highest rank achievable in any wizard academy. There was no wizard above a Level 3. Grimm's excitement was beyond words, his future bright and promising. Moments later, Grimm began organizing the magical materials and items he had gathered during his trials, meticulously recording important insights and clues in his notebook. For instance, his insights into fire elemental energy applications gained through the Sun's Child's magical fluctuations and the wind elemental bats summoned by the Bloodbat's Kiss; how to embed the
Chapter 99 The Path of Three Arts
The succession of pronouncements declaring Grimm's acquittal, coupled with the disappearance of the six-pointed star magic array binding his feet, left Grimm feeling as though he'd been transported to another world. His body grew light, and he slumped weakly into the chair, his gaze turning towards the wizard standing in the direction of Blackstone Spire Wizard Academy. Without experiencing an interrogation chamber of this calibre, a wizard apprentice could scarcely comprehend the crushing oppression within. After all, this was a full twelve wizards conducting the interrogation from their lofty positions! "Grimm..." The Blackstone Spire wizard's voice was deliberately measured, causing Grimm's heart to clench. His body, which had just begun to relax, instinctively tensed once more as he watched the wizard warily. But then, the black cat suddenly leapt before Grimm and stood up in a human-like posture, saying, "Heh heh, old chap, let me
Chapter 98 A Mentor's Gaze
Whoosh... When light and sound returned to Grimm's confined space, the now-experienced Grimm hastily shielded his eyes with his sleeve. Only after his vision had adjusted did he survey his surroundings once more. This time, both the Shinuwu sorcerer and Yunli had departed. Standing beside Mina was none other than the portly fellow from the first floor of Blackstone Spire who had signed the seven-ring contract with Grimm. The man wore a grim expression as he remarked, "Grimm, the trouble you've caused me this time far outweighs any I've ever caused you. This interrogation chamber is no laughing matter." Grimm managed only a strained smile, at a loss for words. "Grimm, apprentice sorcerer, it has been confirmed that you indeed acquired the corresponding magic stones through the sale of incense. This constitutes a means of gaining profit through your own ingenuity. Therefore, the source of the magic stones obtained complies with the regulations for
