The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Colin's promotion lasted for more than ten days. After the promotion was completed, Colin found Helen and other women waiting outside.

Without any words of congratulations, Colin walked forward and hugged the girls tightly. They hugged each other for a long time without being able to separate.

Several wizard apprentices passing by saw a man and multiple women hugging each other, and they were filled with envy and jealousy. They couldn't help but tease, "The academy's style of study is really becoming more and more open. Anyone dares to openly show affection in such an important place of study. Haven't you heard that those who show affection will die sooner? How shameless."

Before the girls could say anything, Colin's aura as a first-level wizard spread out, scaring the passing apprentices so much that they immediately ran away.

Oh my god, is this an official wizard?

You won’t realize that I’m the one who talks too much, right?

I must be careful next time, my mouth can cause trouble. I hope that wizard didn't recognize me.

Colin didn't care about those apprentices. Although the dignity of a wizard should not be violated, Colin didn't want to care about such trivial matters.

Afterwards, Colin took the women back to Helen's residence and told them about the promotion process.

……

The 126th floor of the Gliman Tower.

"Rodbell, go and find out which wizard has used the quiet room to break through recently? If possible, try to sign him. I feel that wizard Merlin is about to break through. Once he breaks through, it may be time for us to expand massively. Every bit of combat power cannot be ignored." Griman ordered.

"As you wish, Lord Grimman. I think a newly born first-level wizard does not have better resources to deal with the subsequent road." Rodbell bowed in response.

"I hope so. Go ahead."

"Yes."

There is a strict hierarchy in the use of the quiet room. Rodbell easily found Colin's usage record. Besides, there is no record of other quasi-level wizard apprentices using it recently.

After confirming that it was Colin, Rodbell quickly contacted Colin through the academy's messaging system and informed him to go to the 85th floor of the Holy Tower for a chat.

Colin was not surprised when he received the notice from Rodbell. Long before his promotion, teacher Lina had roughly explained the general contract situation of the academy. However, since he had already promised the teacher and obtained the key resources for promotion, Colin could not violate the contract with Lina and had to let the academy down.

After reaching the 85th floor, with Rodbell's permission, he entered Rodbell's reception room.

"Hello, is this Wizard Colin?" Rodbell asked.

"Yes, hello, Mr. Rodbell."

"Wizard Colin is really young and promising. He has been promoted to a first-level wizard in just 20 years since he came to the academy. His qualifications are quite good. I invited you here mainly to ask about your future plans."

"Thank you for the training you have given us over the years, especially the time when Master Rodbell led us to participate in competitions in the early years. It is still fresh in my memory and I am always grateful. However, I have other plans and cannot sign a contract with the college for the time being. But the college will always be my alma mater, and I am willing to help if there is anything." Colin knew what Rodbell was asking, so he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point of stating his thoughts.

"...Okay, it seems someone has proposed better conditions. However, I hope Wizard Colin can always stay on good terms with the academy. That's it for today. Although the academy will not force you to leave, there is a time limit for unsigned wizards to visit the academy."

"Master Rodbell, I will leave the academy as soon as possible and may live outside the academy in the short term. Master Rodbell, you can contact me if you have any problems." Although he decided to leave the academy, Colin did not want to offend Rodbell, and still expressed that he would help the academy do some things to a certain extent.

Seeing Colin's performance and his willingness to contribute to the academy, Rodbell finally smiled and said, "Well, Wizard Colin, I still want to congratulate you. Let's add each other's personal contact information. I won't hesitate to help you if you need anything."

After taking out the crystal ball and adding the contact information, Colin left the 85th floor of the Holy Tower.

However, Colin did not leave the holy tower, but went to the 73rd floor to look for his teacher Lina.

Lina's laboratory on the 73rd floor of the Holy Tower.

"Teacher." Colin looked at Lina with gratitude.

"Oh, that's good. You got promoted. It seems I didn't lose out." Lina was very happy to see Colin promoted normally.

"Have you met anyone from the academy?"

"Yes, it's an old acquaintance, Master Rodbell, but I refused the academy's recruitment as agreed."

"Well, you are smart. Do you still remember our agreement? Do you have any plans for the near future?"

"First, I need to consolidate my realm. I want to go to the North in about half a year. Of course, if you have any instructions, I can postpone my trip to the North."

"Northland? Oh, are you looking for your little lover?"

"Uh... I haven't been able to contact Edith. I'm a little worried that something has happened. I want to go over there to check out the situation."

"Well, my contract with the academy will last for more than 20 years, so I won't be able to use you for the time being. But if you want to go to the North, I hope to be back within five years. By then, I will gather your fellow brothers together and make arrangements for the future."

"Okay, teacher, I will be back as scheduled."

……

Helen's residence.

"Now that you're back, I hope the academy doesn't give you any trouble?" Helen asked anxiously.

"No, the college just asked me whether I want to be deeply bound to the college. How can it embarrass me? But I will also move out in the near future."

"Nora must be so happy now. She has always felt that you didn't spend enough time with her." Helen said with some resentment.

"Well... you can also move out. You can't learn much from the college's open courses, and you still have to spend money. It doesn't matter where you live." Colin was still very smart and resolutely refused to discuss who was taller or shorter with his woman.

"Yeah, Connie, what do you think?"

"I don't have any objection, but I still need to tell my brother. He has been busy with promotions recently, and I want to wait until he gets the promotion before moving out."

"Well, that's fine. I don't have anything to do today. I'm going to find Nora and tell her the good news. Let's also make some preparations. If the conditions are right, we can buy another piece of land nearby." After saying that, Helen went out to find Nora.

"When are you going to tell Helen about Edith?" asked Connie.

"Well, I'll tell her I want to live away for a while. After all, I still have to go to the North to look for Edith. It will take a long time to go back and forth. If I have time, I can go back to Emerald Island. By the way, I haven't asked you about your hometown, and I haven't seen you and Conrad go home."

"...My brother and I's parents are gone, leaving only my brother and I. If it weren't for my brother's rapid growth in strength, those people in the family would have snatched away the territory long ago. Although my brother still holds the title of baron, we are not planning to go back now that we have left. The territory only has a few dollars of income every year, and my brother and I don't care about that."

"I'm sorry to bring up your sad story."

"Nothing, it happened a few years ago. My brother and I have been dependent on each other for so many years, I'm used to it."

"Don't worry, I will always be with you, you won't be alone." Colin hugged Connie tightly.

"Yeah." Although Colin was a little lustful, he was fine in other aspects, and Connie still felt at ease.
