2025-09-25 16:02:28Dressed in a loose-fitting grey robe, a pallid mask adorned with purplish-black spiral patterns graced her face, while golden curls cascaded down, partially concealing the eternal earring adorning her right ear.
For ten days, Grimm frequented the third floor of Blackstone Spire, absorbing alchemical knowledge like a sponge.
The knowledge and depth accumulated through vast quantities of magic stones rendered Grimm ever more enigmatic. The eyes beneath the pallid mask occasionally flashed with the light of wisdom and contemplation, radiating such profound insight that even those who once knew him well would scarcely recognise him at first glance.
He came swiftly and departed just as swiftly.
Grimm seemed to inhabit a solitary world, enduring—or perhaps relishing—the solitude, utterly consumed by boundless knowledge.
Ten days later.
Grimm had filled an entire tome with alchemical knowledge, now conducting relentless experiments in

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
Chapter 97 The Merchant's Proof
"Hmph, is it Grimm you call yourself? Though you seized the reward that was mine, those who backed you shall suffer punishment far exceeding the value of that prize," Mina declared bitterly. Before the assembled wizards, she naturally refrained from displaying her usual overbearing arrogance. It must be said that Mina's figure and appearance were indeed quite striking, like a fiery, voluptuous woman whose character carried a hint of frivolity and arrogance. However, Grimm, that dullard lacking any discerning eye, paused briefly before replying indifferently, "I have no idea what you're talking about." "You—" The fiery-tempered Mina was about to retort when a wizard even more hot-headed than herself cut her off. This was the very wizard who had questioned her earlier at the Hourglass Wizard Academy, and also Mina's teacher – a fully-fledged Second-Class Wizard known as the Undying Fire Soul. "Roar! You insolent youth! Tell me, where did
Chapter 96 The Tribunal
This was a dimly lit chamber, cut off from the outside world. Grimm sat upon a chair in the chamber's centre, resembling a helpless lamb, gazing bewildered and trembling at the unfamiliar surroundings. The magical fluctuations emanating from the six-pointed star magical barrier encircling his chair were potent enough to induce tremors and despair. Seated at the very heart of this barrier, Grimm awaited interrogation by the mysterious, lofty wizards seated upon the elevated platforms surrounding him. Torches replaced the light elemental magic lamps. Twelve wizards sat upon elevated platforms positioned at the six cardinal points of the hexagram barrier beneath Grimm's feet, surveying him from above. The swaying shadows beneath their wide robes exuded an air of mystery, coldness, and absolute, inviolable authority. None of the wizards revealed their true features, their faces concealed. This was a high-security chamber reserved for interrogating full-fledg
