Meanwhile, back at the Silver Kingdom, the 1st year students of Silver Mage Academy finally returned to safety.

Fortunately, there were no casualties among the students, though aside from the still missing Leo.

In almost all of the student's opinion, they already assumed that Leo is already dead since even the soldiers that Commander Ava was leading to help them had almost been completely wiped out, not to mention a mere student.

The moment the flying boats landed, Vice-chairman Steven of Silver Mage Academy quickly run towards the students and began checking each one of them.

”It's really fortunate that we only lost 1 student...” Vice-chairman Steven can't help heave a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Marvin was immediately enraged the moment he heard Vice-chairman Steven's words, ”How can you say that!!”

Fortunately, teacher Lee, teacher Smith, and teacher Homer were fast enough to hold down teacher Marvin before he can reach Vice-chairman Steven. The situation would have really turned sour the moment such a situation had happened.

Vice-chairman Steven could only look clueless at teacher Marvin's reaction. In his opinion, wasn't it better to lose 1 student than to save only 1 student while the rest died?

”That was really disrespectful of you Vice-chairman Steven, Leo was the student that contributed the most in order to save us!” Teacher Homer said as he shoots a deadly glare at Vice-chairman Steven.

”Ah...” Vice-chairman Steven finally realized his mistake as he quickly apologized, ”I'm really sorry. I wasn't informed about the exact happenings yet, I only heard from the students that we've lost 1 student only, so I wasn't clear yet about who exactly the student we have lost.”

Teacher Marvin finally calmed down after hearing Vice-chairman Steven's words. He then took the paper where they had written the full report from his Storage Ring before throwing it to Vice-chairman Steven and walking away.

”Marvin, where are you going?” Teacher Lee quickly blocked teacher Marvin's path, ”Don't do anything stupid like charging straight towards the Black organization's base that you can find!”

Unexpectedly, teacher Marvin just pushed teacher Lee away as he said, ”I quit being a teacher of Silver Mage Academy! What Lu Ming had said before was indeed right. Instead of cowering behind in a place away from the battlefield, I should hone my skills and keep on becoming stronger. Only by then would I be able to repay the death of Astrid and the others!”

”You...” Teacher Lee can't help but feel disbelief. He really didn't expect that those words from a Human traitor would be able to move a stubborn mind like teacher Marvin.

”Tell me, right this moment, aren't you also guilty that we weren't able to save Astrid and the others back then? Lu Ming even gave us another chance to save them back at Floating Mountain, but we still weren't able to! Even you were helpless and could only watch Lu Ming repeatedly crash Astrid's head in front of you.” Teacher Marvin suddenly asked.

Hearing teacher Marvin's words, teacher Lee's face immediately turned ugly and his eyes turned wet as he remembered the scene of him watching the puppet Astrid being crashed into pieces over and over again.

Teacher Marvin didn't wait for teacher Lee to reply, since his face already speaks volumes of his answer.

”So, if you want to keep on feeling helpless every time a person you love is in danger, then keep on living that life!” Teacher Marvin said as he then suddenly turned at teacher Candice, ”Also, I don't want to see my woman die in front of me while feeling helpless!”

After saying that, teacher Marvin finally continued walking away.

Teacher Candice also quickly followed as she only shoots the other with an apologetic look and whisper, ”Sorry, but we already swear to stay with each other no matter what...”

Seeing the two walking figures, teacher Lee could only clench his fist while debating whether he should follow after teacher Marvin or not. In his heart he wanted to follow after them, go on an adventure and become strong like the Second Prince. However, his mind keeps on repeating that he is already old, he's already over 40 years old, not to mention his cultivation was only at 7 Star level, so if he follows after them he would definitely achieve so little things before finally taking his last.

”I don't know what you're still debating about, but I'm definitely following after Marvin!” Teacher Smith said as he taps teacher Lee's shoulder, smiled at him, and walk away to follow after the two walking figures.

”So do I! I don't want to run away again and leave my friends behind.” Teacher Homer quickly followed after the three walking figure.

Teacher Lee unconsciously turned to look at Vice-chairman Steven as he suddenly thought, ”This old man is already over 60 years old and yet still a 7 Star Mage. So, do I really want to become just like him? Obviously...”

Teacher Lee didn't hesitate anymore as he soon followed after the four walking figures in front of him. But before finally catching up to them, he turned to look at Vice-chairman Steven and said, ”Thank you for making me realize something old man!”
