I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Roland punched Anna a few more times before chanting the spell to put her whole body into the wizard's hat. Afterward, the wizard's hat returned to its normal size and flew back into Roland's pocket.

Having completely eliminated all threats, Roland lifted the covering of the grass shed.

The instructor lay on a pile of weeds, her gaze towards Roland extremely complex.

Catherine never imagined in her life that she would be saved by a mere low-level apprentice, and twice at that.

The first time was at the most crucial moment in the battle against the Greater Demon—Catherine was originally certain to die, but the Greater Demon suddenly shuddered and let out a wail, its aura weakening slightly.

It was this wail and the slight weakening of its strength that allowed Catherine to turn defeat into victory.

Catherine originally thought that Roland would use a scroll to escape after entering the ruins. She didn't expect this guy to fight the demon desperately, and even win. Without Roland, she would have definitely died.

He saved her once in the ruins, and now he's saved her again. The instructor secretly shook her head.

Coming back to her senses, Catherine asked, "Where's Wallace?"

Roland patted the dimensional bag at his waist: "His head exploded, and he's sleeping soundly in my bag now."

After a pause, he added: "Wallace fought the demon to a mutual disadvantage and saved my life. I would have died without him."

Catherine looked at Roland with a suspicious gaze.

She didn't believe that Wallace, that coward, would dare to fight a demon. Hiding and pretending to be dead from the start was more like him.

At this moment, Roland noticed a huge head among the weeds beside the instructor.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked, "Nal... is that him?"

Catherine moved aside, allowing Roland to see the appearance of the head clearly.

Roland sighed deeply.

"Don't be so downcast. Nal just has his head left; he's not dead. Plant it in the soil for a while, and his body will grow back."

"Plant it in the soil and it'll grow back?" Roland looked shocked.

The instructor explained: "Nal is no longer a normal ancient elf. Just think of him as a troll. He'll be fine. It's me who's in trouble. If I don't get treatment soon, I'll really... cough, cough, cough... Wallace's potion, do you have it here... cough, cough, cough..."

Roland hurriedly rummaged through Wallace's belongings. Wallace had told him about each item before, so Roland quickly found the healing potion and fed it to the instructor.

Wallace had previously told Roland that these potions were very expensive. He didn't know their exact value, but they seemed to have the miraculous effect of reviving the dead.

After the instructor drank it, the wounds on her body not only visibly healed but also the dried blood on her body was actually flowing back into the wounds.

Seeing that most of the injuries on her body had been restored, the instructor clutched her chest and let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale.

The instructor said, "Leonard was ultimately killed by the 'Holy Sword of Dawn.' There are fragments of the 'Holy Sword' inside the wound on my chest. Find a dagger and help me remove the remnants of the broken sword, otherwise, the wound here won't heal."

These words made Roland recall the final move in 'Valeria Swordsmanship'—Star Shatter.

This was a move of mutual destruction. After using it, the swordsman would burn out his life, and the longsword would also shatter into pieces.

Recalling the words that Baron Hall had said a few hours ago, Roland felt a surge of sadness in his heart.

Many memories of Baron Hall's teachings flooded into his mind, many memories of Alice, and of the madam who treated him like a mother, appeared in Roland's heart.

【 "—My good madam, Miss Julie, has always had a dream." 】

【 "—We've already discussed it. This time we'll go back and never meddle in other people's business again. We'll travel the world together..." 】

【 "—You brat, you must bring the Holy Grail back! Come back alive!" 】

Roland shook his head and smiled to himself, "Oh well, oh well, Baron Hall is a true knight. To die with a demon is the best end for a knight. Haha, killing a demon with a holy sword, those guys in the tavern will have a story to tell!"

After hearing Roland say the name 'Baron Hall,' the instructor was stunned for a moment.

Then, she asked in astonishment, "Roland, who is Baron Hall?"

Roland was stunned for a moment, then he realized something. He couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Roland cried out in grief, but the instructor laughed.

She asked, laughing, "You, I just asked who Baron Hall is, why did you suddenly go crazy?"

"Yes, I'm crazy, senior! Laugh, laugh, I don't blame you."

Roland wiped away his tears in sorrow and said, "It's better for me to be sad alone, because there has never been a Baron Hall."

As he spoke, Roland laughed again: "Yes, that's great, Julie and Alice don't have to be sad, everyone doesn't have to be sad!"

"You... you're no fun at all."

The instructor suddenly lost so much interest in pranks. She carefully handed Roland a handkerchief as if she had done something wrong: "Don't cry, I won't tease you anymore."

After a pause, she turned her head away and said to Roland hesitantly, "I really don't know Baron Hall, but I know Victor... cough, I mean, a hero's name needs to be remembered... Although, that old geezer doesn't need to be remembered yet."

Roland: "Huh?"

Roland didn't understand what the instructor meant for a long time.

He didn't realize what the instructor's words just now meant.

Nor did he realize what it meant that he could remember the name 'Baron Hall'.

"Roland, people don't necessarily die and can't be resurrected. Besides, he's not completely dead yet—he's in my wallet."

Catherine patted the wallet at her waist and said meaningfully to Roland, "However, although the baron isn't completely dead, his life is almost burned out. Unless there's the 'Holy Grail of Yellow Ferns,' even if a witch from hell crawled out, she couldn't stop him from returning to heaven..."

No wonder the instructor was just joking, because none of the four of them died! What a fortunate thing that was!

Roland was overjoyed and excitedly hugged Catherine: "Teacher, you are really amazing! You all survived!"

Catherine: "Hmph... it hurts... let go of me..."

Roland hurriedly released the instructor, took out a bronze Holy Grail covered with ferns from the dimensional bag, and asked, "Is this the Holy Grail of Yellow Ferns?"

The instructor showed a complex expression. She didn't expect Roland to have no greed for the treasure.

As someone who had been betrayed and thrown into hell, Catherine had experienced too many things.

Some people can share hardships and live and die together, but they can't share wealth. Some people can share all their wealth with you, but they can't share your hardships.

There are too few people who can share your life and death and share your hardships with you.

There are too many cases of friends who once risked their lives to protect you being blinded by greed for treasures that weren't worth betraying, doing foolish things like killing people to silence them.

Roland's qualities are precious.

Catherine looked at Roland deeply and said, "Roland, you are an amazing person. You have completed a true wizard's trial."

As an incoming freshman, the gold content of Roland's trial was really too high.

He not only received a trial in magic.

He also received a trial in his heart.

In this 'trial,' Roland put aside his personal thoughts and stepped forward without hesitation. He also gave up the chance to escape and bravely faced the demon like a knight. Finally, he handed over the treasure without hesitation for the sake of his comrades.

Regarding everything Roland had done, Catherine superficially used the tone of an instructor to say something like, 'My good student, you have completed the trial,' but in her heart, Roland was her knight, a cute, kind, and brave knight who stepped forward at a critical moment!

She felt that she hadn't wasted her sincerity on this brat.

She had treated Roland as a student, and Roland had also treated her as... well, senior is senior. Anyway, he has always been doing knightly things...

After returning this time, I'm afraid I will really be taking classes with Roland.

In addition, the people in the family who knew my identity have suffered. There will probably be a lot of troubles when I go back this time.

I might have to find a shield to deal with it temporarily... Roland is the heir of the Aleye family, and his identity is very suitable.

I don't have to tell Roland about this in advance, lest he overthinks! Hmm... this is just an excuse to negotiate with the family elders, no one will know!
