From Wild Mage to Wizard King

No one knows what Gryat thought about in the short time after the Lava Knight was expelled.

People who don't know what kind of person Gryat is are naturally very surprised to hear that Gryat surrendered.

Especially Hela on the field.

As a face-to-face opponent, Hela knows Gryat's condition very well.

Although Gryat is a little embarrassed, it is mostly just a superficial embarrassment. He has not suffered much damage. Although the magic power in his body has been consumed a lot, it is still sufficient.

He can still continue to fight, why did he suddenly surrender?

Hela was a little surprised, but since he admitted defeat, Hela couldn't force him to continue fighting, right?

This is not outside, so many people are watching.

Although Hela doesn't care much about face, as she followed Roland here, she has to maintain Roland's face. She doesn't want her rudeness to be extended to Roland.

Therefore, Hela stopped the spell in her hand and called the three-ringed undead at the same time.

After the referee announced that Hela won, the spellcasters in the audience also stood up and applauded.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they won anyway.

Even the four-ring spellcasters present stood up and applauded.

Although they didn't necessarily have any good feelings or impressions of Hela before, they were very upset by Griat's map artillery against the undead.

Therefore, they were still very happy to express their admiration for Hela who defeated Griat.

Amid the warm applause from the audience, the spellcasters who followed Griat were particularly embarrassed. They looked out of place sitting in the same place.

It's not good to stand up and applaud with the audience, which is a slap in Griat's face, but if they stay sitting, the sights from all directions make them a little restless.

However, their torture did not last long.

After Griat politely bowed to Hela and said goodbye, they left the duel field in disgrace at Griat's behest.

After returning the gift, Hela just watched Griat and his party leave silently.

Although she was still a little confused, Hela was too lazy to think about it. After saluting to the audience around her to express her gratitude, she quickly left the stage.

In the corner of the audience, Sophia looked at the brilliant Hela on the stage, with a bright light of longing in her eyes.

After the duel ended in a daze, the spellcasters who came to watch the battle also quickly left the duel field, and each returned to their own affairs.

At the same time, the news that Hela defeated Griat was quickly spread to the Black Domain and even the entire Soul School through the Book of Wisdom.

Although there were some distortions in the details.

Sophia followed the crowd out of the audience and stood outside the door of the duel field. She looked at the surrounding environment hesitantly.

Because she was too worried about the duel between Hela and Griat, she went out without any preparation.

Therefore, this was the first time she walked out of the streets of the Black Domain without wearing a black robe and without Hela.

Sophia had a subtle feeling when she saw the soul fire floating in front of her.

Maybe it was because the positive and negative energy in her body had reached a balance, or maybe it was because with the help of Hela, she found that the spellcasters in the Black Domain did not have the malice she imagined towards her, or maybe it was because she did not need to wear a black robe and lower her head to hurry on the road, nor did she keep her eyes on Hela.

She raised her head and looked at the dark sky of the Black Domain, which had hardly changed at all. Suddenly, she felt that this sky and this city were still pretty good.

Where should she go next?

Sophia walked on the street with some ease, thinking silently while walking.

However, after thinking about it, Sophia could not think of any good place to go.

Although she had lived in this city for seven or eight years, Sophia's previous activities were basically her residence, the spellcaster association, the grocery store, and the wizard tower.

She might not know this city as well as Hela, at least Hela remembered the map of the Black Domain.

After thinking about it, Sophia thought it would be better to go back to her residence. Maybe Hela had received her private post and replied to her message?

While she was thinking, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.

"Huh?"

Sophia turned back subconsciously.

A finger poked her face.

Hela met Sophia's eyes, smiled and said.

"Sophia actually came out by herself without wearing a black robe. Not bad, there is progress."

After saying that, Hela retracted her fingers, rubbed her head to express praise and encouragement, and then walked a few steps to the side and walked to Sophia's side.

Sophia did not resist Hela.

Although Hela might be about the same age as her, Sophia saw a familiar figure in her, her mother.

In her memory of living with her mother when she was a child, her mother was about the same height as Hela, just as gentle, and often taught her hand in hand. Moreover, no matter what happened, she would stand in front of her to protect herself.

So, although she felt a little uncomfortable, Sophia still often regarded Hela as her own mother.

But, mother, are you okay in Ginza?

Thinking of her mother whom she had not seen for many years, Sophia's mood suddenly became depressed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

"In the Black Domain, when mom is not around, you have to eat well, sleep well, and live well. Mom still has a little money there. Just be an ordinary person and live a stable life. If you encounter any trouble, go and tell the uncle over there, he will help you."

In the last memory of her mother, the vague mother hugged her petite and kept whispering.

As she spoke, the mother, who was a six-ring enchantment spellcaster, still couldn't control her emotions. A few tears fell from her eyes on Sophia's face.

"Sophia, my child."

In the memory, the vague mother's face flowed with bright red liquid, and she stretched out her right hand to block her vision.

"Forget me, just treat me as... just treat me as if I'm dead."

At the end of the memory, Sophia could only hear the last sentence of the conversation.

"Teacher, Sophia, I'll trouble you next."

"Hey, why bother?"

After a moment of silence, the male voice continued.

"I will take good care of her, according to her wishes."

Sophia lowered her head, feeling depressed.

Hella looked at her depressed, stretched out her hand to pull her up, decisively changed the subject, and said with a smile.

"By the way, I found a very interesting place a few days ago. I have wanted to go there for a long time. Now I have time. Do you want to go together?"
