Of course, Dean Weida also knew him, but this Forbidden Magic had disappeared for who knew how many years, and it had actually been used on his own student.
And it had been used by one of his own students.
After understanding the situation, Weida showed an expression of disbelief and asked urgently, “Who was the one who used the magic? Where is she?”
“I don’t know her name, but I know what she looks like.”
“We must capture her immediately and have her undo the magic. Even if the activity is still ongoing, this is really important!”
Kasola’s tone became urgent. He didn’t want to remain in a state where he couldn’t use his Magic Power.
Not only would he have no abilities at all, but among the Dragon Race and throughout the entire Academy, he would have no standing whatsoever.
“Then there’s no time to waste. Let’s set off right away,” Weida said.
“Alright!”
Immediately afterward, Weida transformed into his Dragon Form and carried Kasola, circling through the sky.
But Kasola was utterly confused up there, looking down at the dense forests and grasslands below. He couldn’t make out anyone at all.
“Dean, it seems way too hard to find someone like this.”
“Then how do you suggest we search? I don’t have any other ideas either. What, are you suggesting I use my Domain to help you look? That would affect the other students. I can’t affect more people just for your sake.”
“This…” Kasola was at a loss for words, completely speechless.
“In my opinion, I’ll just accompany you and search slowly. If you see who it is, just let me know.”
“Fine.”
The two of them flew through the sky like that, with Kasola keeping his eyes on the ground at all times.
But after staring for so long, his eyes naturally grew tired.
Time passed all the way to noon. After all this time, Kasola had found nothing and had barely even seen anyone.
Gradually, his mind entered a state of blankness.
Recalling the way that Dragon Race member had drawn the Magic Array, Kasola suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Wasn’t that person from the Swordsmanship Department?
How did she know Magic?
And not just any magic, but magic that could seal another person’s Magic Power.
This was extremely abnormal.
“Dean, the person I’m looking for is the only Swordsmanship student in the entire Academy. She doesn’t know Magic,” Kasola explained, giving him every detail he knew.
“Swordsmanship? Doesn’t know Magic? Are you messing with me?”
Dean Weida originally had no obligation to help Kasola find someone, since this all counted as part of the activity.
But he had helped anyway, and now came news that she didn’t know Magic.
If this wasn’t messing with him, what was?
“No, Dean, everything I said is the truth, absolutely true!” Kasola swore.
“If I say even half a lie, I’ll jump from here and die a horrible death!”
Weida: “??? Calm down first.”
Judging by the way the student spoke, it didn’t sound like he was lying.
‘Could it be…’
Weida thought for a moment, recalling a certain Magic Item from other kingdoms.
Magic Scrolls.
A Magic Scroll was made by the creator pre-etching a prepared spell onto a piece of paper, and the user didn’t need any Magic Power at all to utilize the spell inside and release the corresponding magic.
But such things weren’t circulated among the Dragon Race, because dragons all possessed Magic Power and were naturally born with Magic.
There was simply no need to use Magic Scrolls.
And besides, Magic of this level didn’t seem like something that could be triggered simply by using Magic Power.
“When she sealed your Magic Power, did she do anything else?”
“Yes! She used her sword to draw a huge Magic Array on the ground, then chanted the spell. If I hadn’t been tied up by one of her teammates, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
The more Kasola spoke, the angrier he became.
Listening to Kasola’s words, Weida seemed to know who it was.
The reappearance of Forbidden Magic was indeed serious, and Weida took the matter to heart once again, accelerating their search.
But knowing who it was was useless. The activity grounds were so vast that finding someone wasn’t easy.
They first circled around the center, then followed one planned route after another toward the edges, tracing a path like the character for “rice” before eventually returning.
Suddenly, a wooden house came into their view.
“Hiss… I recall that the activity grounds I chose didn’t have any buildings, did they?”
‘If there is one, then just demolish it, right?’
For that reason, Weida slowly descended not far from the house, and Kasola jumped down as well.
“Dean, haven’t we still not found them? Why are we stopping here?” Kasola asked, puzzled.
“To ensure the fairness of the activity, I need to demolish this house first. Testing the students’ survival skills is also part of this activity.”
The house before them was too exquisite, completely unlike something the students could build in a single day.
But afraid of making a mistake, Weida still decided to go up and take a look.
With no other choice, Kasola could only follow along.
Before they had taken more than a few steps forward, Weida and Kasola heard voices coming from up ahead.
“Pair of eights.”
“Pair of nines!”
“Bomb!”
“Joker Bomb!”
“Can’t beat that.”
“Can’t beat that, huh?” Yiluo Enya looked at Zhu Qiu’s nervous gaze and confirmed twice more.
“Hehe~ Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, plus J, Q, K, A! I’m out!”
“No!”
Zhu Qiu let out a cry of despair.
She… she actually lost.
And she lost to a beginner.
After playing cards among the Human Race for so many years, it had all been completely in vain.
Not only couldn’t she beat the veteran Zhu Xiaxia, but she hadn’t even won a single round against Yiluo Enya, whom she had just taught.
Who could endure this?
‘It must be the cards’ fault. It must be!’
“Yiluo Enya, let’s go again. Let’s continue battling for three hundred rounds!”
Just as they were about to shuffle the cards for another round, Dean Weida’s voice came from behind them.
“You two, aren’t you here to participate in the activity? How come you’re playing around? And…” He looked at the house nearby. “You picked quite a nice spot.”
“Dean? Why are you here?” Zhu Qiu and Yiluo Enya both asked in confusion.
Weida suddenly noticed that the person before him was exactly the one he was looking for.
“Me? Can’t I come? Huh?”
This truly was a case of finding something without any effort.
He could finally save himself from flying around in the sky.
“What’s your name again?” Weida’s brain suddenly stalled for a moment. “…”
“…Dean, just tell me directly what you need from me.”
Zhu Qiu couldn’t be bothered to answer with her name. After all, she didn’t like being disturbed while she was having fun.
“Oh right, you’re the student who used Forbidden Magic, aren’t you?”
At that moment, Kasola also stepped out from behind Weida.
The moment he saw Zhu Qiu, he wished he could rush forward and strangle her.
“Dean, it’s this one! She cheated!”
“Cheated? Where did I cheat?”
“You cheated, period.”
“Quiet. I’ll ask the questions,” Weida said to Kasola in a commanding tone.
“Y-yes, Dean.”
“This student, I heard you drew a Magic Array and sealed this classmate’s powers. Is that true or false?”
