161 Final Exam (1/2)

Wallace wasn't sure who the young kid was but he still greeted him politely and asked a question.

”Sister?”

”Ah yes. Her name is Vanessa...” Tristan answered. His eyes clearly showed light of admiration after he said his sister's name.

Wallace then noticed his semblance with Vanessa White. She was a third year student at Skywalker Academy that was also sent to Montego for the international competition.

Wallace clearly remembered her amazing  combat skill against the puppet made by Julian where she used a combat skill called Motion Break.

Anyway, Skywalker Academy was situated here in the capital, he was just not aware where the academy was located in this large city.

'Come to think of it, before we all separated, they made some invitations to visit them at their place.'

Wallace thought referring to all his teammates inviting everyone as they became close to each other. Although he hadn't completed the competition as he was substituted by Van in the end, they all appreciated the expertise that he had shown during his competition. Since he is in the capital right now, he might as well visit some of the people he knew here. Ross Schien, Tracy Guilford, Aria Scott, and Vanessa White, they should be all in the capital at the moment.

”I didn't know that she had a younger brother.” Wallace smiled back at the young magician and suddenly recalled something to ask.

”I saw you before at the New Era's Magic Shop near the southern gate. Are you a member of the shop?”

”Eh? You were there? Uhmm... You can say so. My father is a shareholder of the company.”

Tristan said humbly but Avalon quickly validated the information and found out that his father Rowan White owns 70% of the shares. Their family was also the one who founded the large company.

Avalon had also finished gathering some information for the other four that can be found online. It seems that it was only him who had a humbler background.

”Your sister Vanessa is one of the most outstanding magicians I've met. I heard more about her peerless beauty especially after she had finished bathing at the Revitalization Mana Spring.” These words were said by Jared Faust III. He was an 18 year old alumni at the Skywalker Academy. His face suggested that he deeply admired Vanessa White.

”Oh? You also know my sister? She's really amazing, right?” Tristan eyes shone even more brightly. The light in his eyes shows not only his deep respect towards his sister but also how he liked those people who also revered her.

”Of course. I also studied at the Skywalker Academy. I've seen her there personally but most of it was when she was still in her first year...” Jared chatted with Tristan as he mentioned that he only saw her again during the live broadcast of the competition at Montego. Tristan then told him how great his sister was during her combat competition.

Wallace on the other hand felt that this younger brother was even more amazing. For a 13 years old young magician and be capable of bearing the pressure of Slaine's Arcana, it was simply amazing. Even Vanessa might found it too difficult.

He was curious what kind of ability did he possess to survive that hurdle for so long.

”Right, you've mentioned that you heard a lot about me from your sister. What did she tell you?”

Wallace asked seeing that Jared's non-stop praises to Tristan's sister was getting out of hand. Jared was also curious about Wallace as he doesn't seem familiar to him.

”Ahh... She told me how you disappeared during the ambush in the hotel that you were all staying at. She mentioned that several Adepts went to hunt you for some reason but you instead disappeared for several days and returned mysteriously without a word. She said that during your absence, they've made a lot of theories about your disappearance as a game to pass their boredom.” Tristan answered Wallace.

'I didn't know that. Well, anyone would've been curious at that time so it's probably normal.'

Wallace thought as he was curious about their theories.

Only now did the others remember who Wallace was.

”So that's why I found you so familiar.”

”You were briefly there in the competition. But they said that you're not in good condition so you were unable to finish the competition, is that right?”

Rhine and Jared realizes Wallace's identity as they nodded. Their thoughts were unknown.

Everyone then chatted for a while as they familiarize with each other. Only Merlin was a bit too cold as he didn't bother to even say a word to them.
