In the conference hall of the Isodre School, the high-ranking members seemed as if struck by lightning, sitting rigidly and not recovering for a long time.
After several seconds, their expressions varied!
Some looked somber, some furrowed their brows, and some cursed loudly.
"This young man is truly too arrogant! We havenāt sought revenge for Harold yet, and he dares come to us!" The old wizard who had just mocked Rein suddenly stood up and said.
"Does he really think stepping into Dawn Wizard allows him to do as he pleases?"
"Letās go and have a look!"
"Sect Leader?" Deputy Sect Leader Malcolm looked at Stuart, who was sitting at the chief seat.
Stuart, witnessing this scene, remained silent, deep in thought.
Yet his somber expression indicated his mood was far from calm.
Although he had made early arrangements, honestly, they were for unlikely events; he hadnāt expected the opponent would actually come.
Furthermore, as the sect leader, he knew Rein far better than the others present, understanding Rein wasnāt merely at epic strength.
The title of the youngest epic strongman of the empire was not exaggerated but came from real battles.
"Letās go and take a look together."
"The young ones tend to be aggressive; we should try to resolve things peacefully, giving way where possible." Stuart, too, slowly stood up, speaking calmly.
Hmm?
Try to resolve things peacefully?
Give way where possible?
Upon hearing Stuartās words, including Malcolm, three Crystalization Peak old wizards looked surprised at the sect leader known as the āShield of Rock,ā thinking:
āDid the sun rise from the west?ā
āThe usually cold and stern Stuttgart is actually being so reasonable?ā
...
At the entrance of the Isodre School Station.
A group of guards stood dumbfounded, while a Third Level Wizard Apprentice collapsed on the ground.
When the expert makes a move, itās immediately apparent.
Reinās slight Dragon Roar included in his transmission carried the power akin to the sound wave witchcraft of a Crystalization Peak wizard, instantly causing chaos at the Isodre School, the entire place was on high alert!
Many wizards in earth-yellow robes jumped up from their experiments, rest, and reading, rushing out of their rooms in a panic.
The variety of defensive witch arrays in the sky above the station activated simultaneously!
All of a sudden, various shades of yellow defense shields appeared in the sky above the station.
However, as Stuart and the high-level school members arrived together, the crowd of school wizards calmed down significantly and began to indulge in discussion:
"Is his name Rein?"
"I think Iāve heard of him, the new star of the empire, the youngest epic-level battle power!"
"Iāve heard of him too, but judging by the commotion this time, it doesnāt seem friendly."
...
"Lord Rein, weāre delighted you took the time to visit the Isodre School; we warmly welcome you! However, your recent actions seem to convey some misunderstanding towards our school." Deputy Sect Leader Malcolm spoke eloquently.
"Who are you?" Rein asked.
"I am Malcolm, Deputy Sect Leader of the Isodre School."
"Malcolm? Very well, Iāve heard of this name." Rein nodded.
"Itās an honor for Lord Rein to have heard of me," Malcolm listened with surprise and soon the smile on his face grew brighter, bowing slightly in appreciation.
After all, making the empireās youngest epic strongman remember him is in itself a form of recognition.
"In Mingster, two of my followers were killed, and upon catching the culprits, they said you ordered it. Do you admit to this?"
"I should warn you, your subordinates are still alive, lying is pointless."
Reinās words immediately made Malcolmās expression change drastically!
"This..." Malcolmās expression changed several times, not knowing how to explain, momentarily annoyed at his subordinatesā incompetence for getting captured alive.
After several seconds, Malcolm could only laugh sheepishly, "This must be a misunderstanding, Lord Rein. Since youāre here, why not step inside for a talk, allow us to host you properly."
While forcefully maintaining a smile, Malcolm glanced at Reinās current position.
Rein noticed the actions promptly.
He was well aware of Malcolmās intentions.
Because Rein was standing just outside a certain witch arrayās coverage at Isodre School.
If he accepted the invitation, advancing a few meters would place him within the witch arrayās range.
Judging by the subtle energy fluctuations, even a High Rank Dawn Wizard at the middle stage would likely be at a disadvantage under the opponentās array.
On the other side.
Malcolmās expressions and words left many Isodre School wizards puzzled, showing faces as if saying āThere seems to be a story here.ā
Even the trio of old wizards looked at Malcolm, as if saying, āThis differs greatly from what you said in the conference hall.ā
This made Stuart realize he had to say something.
"Lord Rein, if there truly is a misunderstanding, it may be due to the ignorance of our subordinates. We are willing to make some adequate compensation. Why not come inside for a talk?" Stuart said.
Stuart also invited Rein inside, having the same agenda as Malcolm.
