Chapter 958: 298. Forbidden Technique

Noland Lee was in the living room on the first floor of Island 33.

Just as he was about to test Nicolette’s knowledge of Alchemy, he suddenly felt a hand graze his soul.

“Wait, it seems like Selena has something she needs to discuss with me.”

After uttering those words, Noland focused his mind to contact Selena.

Nicolette cocked her head in confusion and asked Denise Green,

“I often hear you mention Selena, who is she?”

“Selena is Noland’s future manager,” Denise gently stroked Nicolette’s head as she explained,

“She is currently the Deputy Principal of the Deep Sea Branch, busy dealing with Academy affairs. Once Noland obtains a Sub-Dimensional Plane in the future, she’ll help him manage it—that’s a manager’s duty.”

Nicolette responded with a meaningful “Oh~~~.”

“Shh~” Denise Green placed a finger to her lips, speaking in a hushed tone,

“Don’t disrupt Noland and Selena’s conversation; they’re discussing serious matters.”

Nicolette bobbed her head up and down and mimed zipping her lips shut.

Noland didn’t talk with Selena for too long.

Selena succinctly recounted the events at the dueling site, emphasizing the unusual behavior of Referee Sedan Bursohan and Light Wizard Jay Spade.

What worried Selena the most was that the Pure Light Court had also taken an interest in Noland’s “Thundercloud Technique.”

As a wizard force composed entirely of Enforcement Wizards, the Pure Light Court was far more troublesome to deal with than Selena’s father.

They could use methods that, while legally acceptable, were rather underhanded to forcefully unravel Noland’s “Thundercloud Technique.”

It wasn’t just alarmism on Selena’s part.

There were countless cases like this.

It was precisely because of this style of conduct that although the Pale Justice Knight Order was affiliated with the Pure Light Court, they always had discord between them.

Within the “Soul Perception” communication, Selena sighed lightly,

“Jarvis, I didn’t expect Lonco to enhance the Thundercloud with Thunder and Lightning Energy during the duel. Ah, he’s too reckless.”

Noland thought to himself,

“Hmm… Selena, I revisited the Magic Contract I signed with the Deep Sea Branch. Didn’t the contract state that unless I give permission, the Deep Sea Branch cannot reveal my secrets to any person, force, or entity? I remember correctly, don’t I?”

Selena replied,

“That’s true, there is such a clause. And according to Law 2, the Pure Light Court cannot interfere with a Magic Contract. Lonco could use this as an excuse related to the contract to avoid Jespat’s questions. But…”

Taking over the conversation, Noland said,

“But such an evasive stance in itself could give them away. Jespat isn’t a fool; he’d instantly realize that Lonco is being evasive due to guilt. In his eyes, Lonco’s silence implies that the Dark Cloud summoned was created with Wild Magic.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean,” Selena said.
