904 Im Here to Pick You up (1/2)

A cabin, located in the depths of the mountains, was surrounded by strange trees, bizarre rocks, howling beasts, and chirping birds.

Fernando paced back and forth in the cabin gloomily, considering what he should say to the leaders of ”Hysterical Dance”, and how he could prevent himself from mocking them. If possible, he should also visit the Eye of Curse. Although the guy was not in the leadership of the organization, everybody knew that he was the boss behind the curtain.

Suddenly, Fernando sensed that dozens of sorcerers were flying over with his spiritual power.

He was quite shocked. A transparent wall of force field immediately appeared next to him, and the spells to break space barriers were ready.

What are they doing? So many people are attacking me? But why are they doing it so obviously, so that I would have a chance to escape?

Questions popped up in Fernando's heart. His concerns were not gone until he saw quite a few acquaintances in the crowd who were earnest but not hostile, but he was still quite puzzled.

”Fernando, I'm told that you are very good at calculus?”

”Can you tell me the solution to this problem?”

”What's your opinion on gravity?”

The questions from the sorcerers gathered into noises that were even more unbelievable than the howling and chirping. Fernando's ears were humming, and he couldn't be more agitated.

”Enough!” A thunderous roar burst out, dwarfing all the noises.

Fernando was not nearly as kind and considerate as Erica. Roaring was his major specialty.

Everybody fell quiet. Fernando said gloomily, ”How can I teach you calculus if you keep talking? And how can I know your progress right now?”

Not considering that he was in their territory, or that they had many senior-rank sorcerers and even archmages who were stronger than him, he behaved as a tough teacher.

For him, there was only the extent of knowledge in arcana. Identities and strength mattered little!

After silencing the sorcerers, Fernando said seriously, ”I'm here to discuss certain things with the president of 'Hysterical Dance'. After it's over, I'll stay here for a couple of days and teach the basics of calculus from the start if you want. As for gravity, you should wait until you understand the previous parts.”

As an experienced sorcerer, he knew how precious Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy was and what a major shock it would be for the sorcerers. Therefore, he had foreseen such a reaction.

However, what he did not expect was the degree of their shock!

It seemed that he was not bold enough in his prediction!

His words made the sorcerers of ”Hysterical Dance” back to themselves. They couldn't be more surprised. It was one thing that they were asking questions bravely, but it was a whole other thing that he was ready to teach them so frankly. Shouldn't knowledge like calculus and gravity be their greatest secrets?

Are they going to teach us just like that without asking for anything in return?

Not entirely convinced, one of the sorcerers reminded Fernando, ”His Excellency the Eye of Curse has reorganized 'Hysterical Dance' into 'Family of Sorcerers'. It's supposed to be a partnership of all organizations.”

”And the leader is…?” Fernando asked directly.

Another sorcerer flew over from far away. He shouted, ”Mr. Fernando, the Eye of Curse invites you to meet him.”

After being briefly stunned, Fernando nodded. ”Alright.”

That's not bad. He would have to meet Atlant again even if he had to convince the president first.

Their meeting was not held in Atlant's demiplane but in a garden that was overgrown with all kinds of flowers.

”To be honest, I was thinking to capture you and elicit complete knowledge on calculus and the detailed interpretation of gravity from you.” With his eyes closed, Atlant said comfortingly.

Fernando sniffed, not nervous at all before a legend. ”They do deserve your effort. However, the knowledge will be shared with all sorcerers.”

”All sorcerers?” Atlant asked with a smile, as if everything were under his control.
