I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

"Roland, wake up, Roland."

In the midst of repeated calls, Roland slowly opened his eyes and saw a mysterious figure squatting beside him.

This person was entirely shrouded in a black robe, the hood a patch of darkness, with only half a head visible, and emptiness above the nose.

Roland was scared half to death and almost attacked.

"It's me."

The mysterious man stroked the beard on his chin and smiled, "It's me, Wallace.

The young lady has already left."

Wallace was in a very good mood today.

He had narrowly escaped death and even gained a blessing.

The young lady had given Wallace some of the Abyss Demon's flesh and blood in the morning, but he didn't plan to use it just yet.

Wallace said, "From now on, you must change your address.

You can no longer call the young lady 'Teacher'.

We're about to return to the academy, and the young lady, as a High Apprentice, is not qualified to be your teacher.

She has other arrangements in this matter."

After confirming that the person in front of him was Wallace, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

He regretted sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice someone approaching.

Roland had no idea that after Catherine woke up in the morning, she had secretly cast a sleep spell on him.

If Wallace hadn't crawled out of the dimensional bag and bumped into Catherine face to face, seeing her secretly rummaging through Roland's pockets…

After so many years, the young lady's habit of curiosity hadn't changed at all.

In the morning, after Catherine was caught doing something bad by Wallace, her expression was extremely awkward, and she said with a cold face, "Well, it's fine, he recovered well last night.

You dog, what are you looking at me like that for?

I was just treating him!"

Wallace naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

After that, Catherine explained some things to Wallace and then left as if fleeing, without meeting Roland.

Wallace felt that the young lady's attitude towards Roland had undergone some subtle changes.

He suspected that something had happened between the two of them last night.

Roland asked, "Did Lady Catherine give any instructions before leaving?"

Catherine had done more than just explain some things to Wallace.

She had discussed many things with her advisor.

Wallace had even given her some bad ideas.

Of course, the young lady had specifically instructed Wallace not to tell Roland about these things.

Wallace said, "The young lady didn't have any special instructions, she just asked me to tell you about the academy.

Let's eat first."

Wallace didn't need to eat, but Roland and Catherine did.

So, this loyal old servant had made a hearty breakfast after coming out in the morning.

They still had to hurry on the road later, so Wallace hoped that Roland could eat his fill.

Recently, a major event had occurred at the academy.

The White Chess Wizard Council had officially issued an order to have the professors of the White Chess Academy stationed at the Black Abyss Academy to be responsible for teaching, protection, and other work.

Saying it was protection was more like supervision.

Wallace said, "Actually, the White Chess Wizards began stationing at the Black Abyss Academy many years ago."

The Black Abyss Wizards originally belonged to the Twilight Council.

But the two sides later had a falling out, so the Black Abyss Wizards betrayed the Twilight Council and joined the White Chess Council for protection.

After that, the White Chess family began stationing at the Black Abyss Academy.

Compared to the Black Abyss Wizards who called themselves Arcanists, the White Chess Wizards were a group of true Arcanists.

They were also a group of true White Wizards.

Their strength was very powerful, they understood dark magic but wouldn't use it recklessly.

If the Twilight Council was the demonic path, then the White Chess Council was a respectable sect.

Wallace stroked his beard and said, "Roland, the Black Abyss Wizards have always been hiding their strength.

In the eyes of the White Chess Wizards, our strength was greatly damaged in the struggle with the Twilight Wizards, and we only had a group of formal wizards left.

But in reality, we were hiding our strength—the betrayal was fake, and our purpose in coming to the White Chess Council was to destroy this council!"

"But this time, the young lady may have called all the hidden Black Abyss experts here… We really don't even have a Tier 2 wizard left now.

With our current strength, returning to the Twilight Council would only lead to being annexed… We're afraid that we're going to have to play this act for real and truly join the White Chess Council."

But in any case, Catherine needed to change to a more secretive identity.

And Roland also needed a more suitable identity.

Next, Wallace and Roland went over their 'story'.

"Roland, you must remember that you are the last heir of the 'Ayelah' family.

These years, your father, like a wild wizard, has been detached from the world of wizards.

I came to Valeria ten years ago and accidentally met you.

After that, you finally came into contact with the real magical world again.

So, I am your enlightenment teacher."

Wallace said, "The people in the family all know my identity, so I have always served as the family's steward.

After the young lady was born twenty years ago, I also took on the important task of her magical enlightenment.

So, both you and the young lady can be considered my students."

A hundred years ago, the Black Abyss Witch sent a message from hell to the family.

Telling people that she was going to send her servants from hell over.

After that, a female vassal of the Alexandra family voluntarily offered her body and conceived a demon.

The demon grew into an adult on the seventh day after its birth.

After that, it stayed in the human world as a servant of the Alexandra family.

This demon was Wallace, and his purpose in coming to the human world was to help his master in hell return to the human world.

He had prepared for this for eighty years.

Twenty years ago, the demoness in hell finally reincarnated as a human.

But her memories had not yet awakened.

During the time when her memories had not yet awakened, Wallace had been serving as her Black Magic Defense instructor, magical enlightenment teacher, and etiquette teacher.

So, Wallace was indeed Catherine's enlightenment teacher.

Of course, these things already involved many of Catherine's secrets.

So Wallace didn't tell Roland.

He only told Roland that he was Catherine's servant and steward, and had given her magical enlightenment when she was young.

Roland asked, "So, I haven't met Senior Catherine before?"

Wallace shook his head: "No, three months ago, your senior Catherine came here and helped you advance to a low-level wizard apprentice."

Roland understood that Wallace had only made some small changes to his past experience—he had met Wallace ten years ago and Catherine three months ago.

Wallace told Roland that the Yellow Bracken Forest was a trial.

As for the entire process of the trial, just tell everyone about what happened before they encountered the Flesh and Blood Sacred Tree.

He said, "You got lost in the trial and stumbled into a pile of Blood Moths, but Catherine was secretly watching you all the time, so she saved you.

As for the other two idiots… Hehe, you don't know anything because you fainted."

Roland kept it in mind.

After the two of them went over their story, they planned to set off.

"Roland, let's set off early, too.

If we walk west out of the fern forest, there will be a teleportation array of the Black Abyss Academy.

If we set off early, we can reach the wizard market near the academy at night."

Wallace stroked his beard and said, "However, there is one thing we have to think about.

You need to pay tuition and accommodation fees when you enter the school, and you have to buy a lot of things for admission—like magic books, textbooks, and tools are all big expenses.

Originally, the young lady had prepared some magic stones for you, but they were all used up in the ruins.

So this money can't count on the young lady."

Roland's heart tightened slightly, and he thought to himself: 'I almost forgot about this.

I don't know how much money those garbage I picked up can sell for.

Is it enough for tuition and the purchase of admission items?

If not, I will have to sell strange objects or demon stones.'

Roland planned to keep these things, so he felt a little distressed.

Seeing Roland's nervous look, Wallace said, "Don't worry, I should still have some magic stones in my bag.

When I go home, I will get some more from my daughter to lend you, and it will be enough—borrow 8 and pay back 13."

This profiteer is still thinking about lending at usury.

Roland said, "Wallace, I don't know how many magic stones you have at home, but the Abyss Demon ate all the magic stones in your bag."

Wallace's face became extremely ugly.

He stroked his beard and said, "Roland, you are new to the academy, and you must have some useful strange objects in your hand.

So it would be a pity to sell those few usable strange objects.

The things in my bag are all demonic things, and it is not easy to sell them.

But those damaged strange objects you picked up should still be able to sell for some money.

Let's go to the wizard market near the academy later to have a look.

As the logistics of the academy, I still have some channels."

Wallace often sells some black goods.

This demon is not good at fighting, but he is very reliable in doing things.

It is very safe to sell things through him.

"Well, let's listen to you on this matter—I'll give you back your bag."

With that said, Roland threw Wallace's bag to him.

Wallace knew that Roland's harvest this time was very rich and he didn't care about his little things.

So he gladly accepted it.

After thinking about it, Wallace said hesitantly, "Brother Roland, about the harvest from the ruins, I didn't betray you this time, but the young lady already knows everything… Don't ask, anyway, she knows what treasures you got."

After a pause, Wallace added: "You slept too soundly this morning."

After hearing this, Roland's face suddenly stiffened: 'No wonder I slept so soundly, probably the mentor cast a magic spell on me, and then rummaged through my bag!'

Roland never dreamed that a witch with such a noble status would do such a despicable thing!

He hurriedly rummaged through his bag.

After confirming that the Bitter Sleep Cauldron and other things were all there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If she's not taking my things, what's she doing rummaging through my bag? Just pure curiosity?"

"Why are you so curious? You peeping tom!"

"No, after returning to the academy, I have to gradually find a way to break away from her. I'll find a forest on the mountain to cultivate in seclusion. If there aren't any classes I absolutely have to attend, I'll go to the academy less and see Senior less."
