The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Since Master Rodbell, the dean of Griman College, is in charge, the most direct candidate Colin can think of is Mario. Wizard Mario and Colin have an old relationship and have recommended Colin many times. They also participated in the plane war together. As the right-hand man of Dean Rodbell, Mario must have a say.

Although it was already very late, the wizards' research activities might have just begun. After all, spiritual particles were more active at night, and perhaps some new ideas would emerge.

The first person Colin contacted using the magic ball was Mario. Mario had not rested yet, nor was he doing any experiments. Instead, he was dealing with some matters in the security affairs division.

Unlike the Victoria Islands on Colin's side, which have been relatively stable in the past five years, there have been constant disputes of all sizes in other islands affiliated with the Grimaldi Islands, and law enforcement officers have been killed frequently. Due to their limited strength, the local law enforcement team cannot solve many problems and needs to send people from the Security Affairs Branch to deal with them.

Comparing the two, Colin's work stands out. Although other islands have been included in the Griman Islands Alliance for many years, and the Victoria Islands have only joined the alliance for more than a hundred years, the closeness of the relationship is sometimes not determined by the length of time.

After receiving Colin's message, Mario couldn't help but relax his brows and told Colin to go directly into the academy to find him later.

I used to think that I took over the position of deputy director because Master Rodbell valued me. Now it seems that, although he valued me, it was more because he himself was indifferent and threw everything to me.

Thinking of this kid Colin, how long has it been since he left the academy? He has already caught up with his level. If he continues to sink in the complicated affairs of the academy and the security affairs branch, Colin may be promoted to level three, and he will not be promoted. That would be embarrassing.

While waiting for Colin, Mario put down the work at hand and poured himself a cup of tea. It was a special tea made from thorn fruit from the desert kingdom of Mubham. It had a sweet and sour taste with a hint of spiritual charm, which Mario liked very much.

Colin came very quickly. Mario had just finished his second glass of water when Colin knocked on the door.

When Colin arrived at Mario's office, he was not overly restrained. First, he had been promoted to the second level and was no longer a "little man". Second, he had a good relationship with Mario. It was not a public occasion, so he didn't need to worry too much about anything else.

"Colin, you came here so late at night, is there something urgent? The job report is still more than ten days away, so it's not urgent."

"Master, please don't hide it from me. Isn't there an opportunity to go to the floating city for exchange and training? Do you think I can do it?"

"Hey, you're well-informed. I was told that this matter would be officially announced at the performance review meeting. Did you know about this?"

"Oh, don't worry about how I know this. Just tell me if I have a chance. I really want to participate in this exchange training."

Mario looked at Colin and couldn't help but ponder. Although Rodbell had entrusted most of the Security Affairs Division's affairs to him, the matter of recommendation involved too many things. Many of the islands affiliated with the Griman Islands Alliance had close ties with the academy, and the relationships were intricate and complicated. He himself didn't even understand some of them.

Although Lord Grimman will not be involved in this matter, the specific recommendations will definitely be reported to Lord Grimman. Even Dean Rodbell will not bypass Lord Grimman. Lord Rodbell should attach great importance to it and will definitely give more consideration to the recommendation quota.

"Colin, I know you are an ambitious wizard. This can be seen from the fact that you have been promoted from a wizard apprentice to a second-level wizard in a short period of time. To be honest, I can recommend you for this matter, but I cannot guarantee whether it will succeed or not. There are too many forces involved on the academy's side. Many islands on the Griman Islands Alliance have dealings with the academy..."

"Master, I understand. As long as you can recommend me, that's enough. Of course, I will also speak with my performance. I have also heard that other islands are in chaos. I believe that Lord Rodbell will not fail to see it."

"As long as you think it through, I will recommend you even if you don't come. Don't worry, I have a balance in my heart for both public and private matters."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master. It's already very late, and I won't disturb your rest." Colin stood up and left a space ring on the table when he left the room.

"What is this, little guy? Do you think I need those things?" After Mario took the ring and went out, he found that Colin was gone.

Since Colin had already left, Mario did not deliberately contact Colin again. Although he originally wanted to recommend Colin and did not think of asking Colin for anything, Colin took the initiative to leave this, and Mario could only accept it "reluctantly".

……

In the following ten days, Colin did not go into the security affairs office in the college again. He just waited quietly outside for the performance review meeting to be held.

The days of waiting for the meeting were boring. The only thing that was visible was that more people came to the town outside the college. All the shops opened early to welcome customers. Of course, they were happy to make money.

The Grimm Islands joined with the large and small islands in the surrounding waters to form the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance. Except for the main island and some islands controlled by Grimm himself, most of the islands are controlled by various small and medium-sized forces. Before the Victoria Islands joined the alliance, others had already joined for thousands of years.

After thousands of years, Colin didn't need to think too much to understand that the interactions with the Gliman Academy must be complicated and intertwined. In addition to the wizards of Rodbell and Mario's school, there are other forces within the academy. Lord Gliman cannot favor Rodbell too much, as that would be detrimental to the rule and development of the Gliman Islands.

Colin has done what he was supposed to do, and all he can do is leave it to fate and do his best.

Judging from the performance of the law enforcement team after its establishment, Colin felt that people from other islands were more selfish. He didn't believe that a newly promoted second-level wizard like him could manage such a large area as the Victoria Islands. Other forces had been around for thousands of years, so couldn't they even manage this?

Since Colin rejoined the Victorian Wizard Council, some of the council's intelligence has been completely released to Colin, and he naturally also learned some of the situation on the Griman Islands Alliance side.

Although Lord Griman's appeal to the outside world is not a problem, internally, various contradictions are surging, and sometimes even Griman Academy finds it difficult to mediate.

Colin believed that the conflicts between these forces were more due to selfishness. Also, although this was the southern Ten Thousand Islands Sea, the underground passages were directly connected to the underground world, and the interactions with the underground world were closer, unlike the Victoria Islands, which were integrated later and had no passages connecting to the underground world at all.

After Colin waited for more than ten days, the first performance review meeting of the law enforcement teams of each island was officially held. On this day, Colin followed the flow of people from other islands and once again entered the office of the Security Affairs Division of Griman College.
