Chapter 214: Chapter 90 The So-Called Mentor

The Pure White Tower was a very tall high tower, and besides being tall, it covered a large enough area... This might sound redundant, but it really needed to be this large to accommodate numerous mage students and schools.

However, upon actually entering the tower, one would find... the interior space of the Mage Tower was far larger than it appeared from the outside, to the extent that new apprentices couldn’t help but take another look from the outside.

This was the so-called Half-plane technology... the same principle as the Half-plane Prison beneath the Demon King Castle.

In short, it could be understood as a very fantastical "spatial folding" technology, despite sounding very sci-fi.

At this moment, Yila, Vera, and Mobillas were sitting in the War Magic Department’s classroom... This classroom wasn’t the type one might imagine with many students sitting in rows.

To describe it, it was more like a grand library.

Surrounded by densely packed bookshelves, the air was filled with the scent of books. If you looked up... you could see wall-mounted spiral bookshelves stretching towards the sky, seemingly connecting directly to the stars.

Except for a few very special schools, the other department classrooms were more or less like this, serving multiple functions such as borrowing books, attending classes, and being the office of the Great Master.

"Mentor."

Yila said this as she pushed the brewed tea in front of Qiara, who was sitting and reading. Afterward, she handed the other three cups of tea to Vera, Mobillas, and her own empty seat before sitting down herself.

Qiara, after a light cough, sipped the tea brewed by Yila, showing a pleased smile as she said, "Cough, cough, cough, it’s been a long time since I had tea brewed by you, Yila... Still as good as ever."

Yila nodded at her mentor’s compliment and didn’t respond humbly like others might. Instead, she simply acknowledged it, "As you said, Mentor."

Qiara, the seemingly frail Great Master of the War Magic Department, nodded in even greater satisfaction, saying, "You’re as honest as ever... This is good."

"..."

While the two were chatting, Vera secretly poked Mobillas, and when he looked at her confusedly, she softly asked, "Your mentor isn’t as violent as the rumors say..."

To be honest, from their descriptions, Vera had imagined the Great Master of the War Magic Department would be someone with bronze skin, full of muscles, more of a warrior than an actual warrior, and capable of killing someone with a magic wand.

Turns out, she’s rather pretty, a slender beauty with wheat-colored skin.

"That’s because Mentor Qiara is talking to Senior Yila..."

Mobillas also spoke very softly, glancing at Qiara, who was chatting with Yila, making sure she wasn’t paying attention to them. He then replied to Vera’s doubt, "Senior Yila is different; all mentors like him."

Speaking softly, Mobillas mentioned something Vera hadn’t paid much attention to before, "If it were me, I’d have been hit on the head with a magic wand three times by now."

Hit on the head with a magic wand? So she really does hit people with it?

As Vera thought this, she heard a crisp "thud!" from Mobillas’ head beside her. She turned to look... Mobillas was now obediently lowering his head.

Above his head was a magic wand with a crystal stone embedded at its tip...

Vera followed the wand upwards and saw Qiara holding it. She immediately quieted down... That "thud!" just now sounded really painful.

"Cough, cough, cough... Talking bad about me behind my back? Hmm?"

Qiara coughed, but from her tone, she didn’t sound particularly angry. Her wand tapping was just a light punishment... After all, Mobillas was an old student, and only the particularly disobedient new students would be hit badly.

"But, I wasn’t exactly saying bad things... It’s the truth."

Mobillas muttered.

"Thud~"

And immediately got another hit...

"You still talking? Cough..."

To Qiara, who was saying this and then punishing Mobillas again with a tap, Yila smiled as she watched the interaction between the former mentor and student, saying, "Mentor, Mobillas wasn’t wrong. That is indeed the truth."

For saying this, both Mobillas and Vera looked at Yila and Mentor Qiara, wondering if Yila would get hit for saying the same thing.

"You..."

Qiara said this, then expressed her feelings, pulling back the wand she had been using to tap Mobillas. She pointed her finger at Yila’s forehead and said, "Cough, cough... Still as honest as ever."

"..."

Vera: Winking (Really treating Yila differently!)!!

Mobillas: Winking?! (Didn’t I tell you?!)

Vera: Winking

Mobillas: Winking

But neither of them fully understood what the other meant... After all, they couldn’t read emotions from other people’s expressions, so it was like each was performing a monologue.

Watching the two fools, Yila looked at them puzzledly, exchanged a glance with Mentor Qiara, and couldn’t help but laugh... These two were completely engaging in a baseless exchange, weren’t they?

"By the way, aren’t you going to your own mentors?"

Yila said this casually, then watched as the two realized something, hurriedly drank their tea, got up, and left. He chuckled helplessly and collected their teacups.

"Mobillas! Come to me later; I need to check if your combat skills have gotten rusty so you can be a role model for the new students."

Qiara shouted this, and Mobillas rushed down the stairs even faster... Clearly pretending he hadn’t heard, quickly disappearing from view entirely.

"..."

"Yila, do you have something you want to say?"

Qiara said this, almost as soon as Yila said, "By the way," she had already realized... Yila wanted to send the two away.

"As expected of my mentor."

Responding this way, Yila thought for a moment, organizing his words a bit, and said, "You know, I’m in the Demon King Territory now... You could say I hold an important position, and recently I’ve encountered some difficulties in agriculture."

Next, Yila detailed the recent events to his mentor...

How to put it, in this world, Yila seldom talked about some things in detail with others because of the complex web of interests. There were always things inconvenient to discuss...

Even with other mages, Yila found it hard to speak out about something like "I plan to use magic to farm," as many classical mages firmly believed that democratizing magic was a regression.

But he could speak freely with his mentor.

Because... Mentor Qiara wasn’t particularly close like a family member, nor was she a confidant, but had a "distant" yet "close" relationship, a pure "respectable teacher" relationship.

Someone with whom one could speak about their problems with ease.
