East Cove Higher Magic Academy

While Link was rescuing thea book silently in the hall She was alone as Eliard was in the ele on a Level-2 spell he newly learned He was extremely busy these days

When reen rune stone, Elena was shocked and her face immediately sunk

”Have I been exposed?”

She held the rune stone tightly in her hand The rune stone was originally cold to the touch However, due to the constant inforic fluctuations, it had started to become warmer

When she covered the stone with her hands, she could prevent thefelt by anyone else She could also determine the type of spell used from the special way the rune stone would react to different spells

The current fluctuation pointed to the presence of explosive spells around the other rune stone Whenever a spell was caste, there would be a sharp increase inElena to accurately deterth and frequency of the attacks

At the start, Elena felt two extreic fluctuations back-to-back Her heart alician cast two Level-4 spells in less than two seconds! What fast spellcasting speed! Are two Magicians fighting against each other?”

In fact, it was Link who had consecutively cast the Level-4 defensive spell, Edelweiss, twice

Follohich, the rune stone emanated a series of weak but extremely fast fluctuations There were a total of 12 fluctuations in less than half a second Elena was horrified ”This is the strength of a Level-1 spell Who could have cast 12 spells in half a second? Could it be…?”

There was only one Magician in the entire academy who could cast Level-0 spells at such a frequency That person was Link, the Magician staying in the sae Tohom she had avoided the entire time

She then felt another few instances of Level-1 and Level-0 spells This carried on for around ten minutes before the rune became dormant

Elena's heart sank

”It could only be him No one else could cast two Level-4 spells in less than two seconds Hasn't he been in the Mage Tower all this while? How could he possibly find out?”

Elena was confused She had already taken precautions to avoid him To think that she would still be busted by him However, she knew that she had no time to worry about the details She had to think of a countere Tower Elena stayed calhed her options Fro for this day in case she ever got exposed

She stood up and put away the

The apprentice beside her was puzzled and asked, ”Elena, we still have a lot of time left Why did you stop?”

”I aht sentle voice She even tried to sound weak and ed to make herself look pale

The apprentice was completely fooled and immediately nodded, ”Please rest After all, health is the most important”

”Thank you” She then proceeded to the second floor and greeted a few other apprentices on the way When she reached her room, she immediately entered the room and closed the door behind her

The rooe by normal standards It was made up of a co with Eliard She immediately peeled off her facade and her expression of pain and weakness changed into one that was cold and unic book from the top layer of her bookshelf, where she hid three separate scrolls in the cover compartment

These three scrolls contained detailed blueprints of the internal structure of the six e Towers in the academy The information included the Detection spells, Defensive spells, and Offensive spells used by the tower and the workings of their respective elemental pools

If one were to plan their attack based on the information recorded, their ambush would be a lot more efficient Furthere Tower froe Tower in one hit!

There were six Master Magicians in the acadee Toould be the pivotal buildings holding the fort in the case of an attack If the Dark Elves were to destroy theth would be reduced by at least thirty percent!

The blueprint of Bale's Mage Tower had already been taken care of Elena was si back the blueprints of the other five central Mage Towers She had carried out her task efficiently, already securing three of them She did not expect to be exposed at this crucial juncture when victory was already in sight

These scrolls should have been sent out a long tio However, after the incident in Gladstone City, the Norton Kingdom started their ruthless extered allegiance to the Dark Brotherhood and the Syndicate This destroyed all her connections outside of the acadeerous mission She could only keep these scrolls in a safe place until she received new instructions

However, her life was at stake now

”I have to send the blueprints out, but how? Link is rushi+ng back right now, I don't haveas she pranced around the roo of a way to escape the academy safely

After a while, she was suddenly struck with an idea, ”That's it!”
