Chapter 147: Questioning (2)

"That’s..." Nathan gritted his teeth and said nothing else. He kicked the stone nearby and sighed. "When Teacher comes back, I’ll ask her to take us on a mission together."

"Okay." Nisa smiled.

Even if this might not change much, but if they could accompany their teacher, they would feel much better.

With their presence, their stubborn teacher should not lash out so much and make direct conflicts with the elders. They also hoped that the elders would restrain themselves and didn’t do anything unnecessary when there was no evidence or direct conflict.

Whoever that rank 7 was, the presence of this magic warrior had caused many things to change.

The peaceful cities saw this and felt that they might be threatened and could start to make various moves.

They have to be prepared.

"Silas, how about you?" Nathan asked and turned to look at Silas.

From his gaze alone, it was easy to see that he wanted Silas to accompany their teacher and also take missions together.

Because only in this way would it be possible for them to watch over their teacher.

Silas looked at Nathan and shook his head. "I have students, Nathan. You know that I can’t leave them so early like this."

"They’re the descendants of various families! Their families can arrange someone else to bring them." Nathan frowned.

"No." Silas shook his head. "I can’t throw my responsibility away just like that."

"You... are you not worried for your teacher?" Nathan asked in annoyance.

"I’m worried, but I can’t leave." Silas shook his head.

His status as the Black Family members, his students who also needed him, and his own awkward position, everything just seemed to restrain him.

This made Silas feel really bad but at the same time, he also accepted it.

Because he knew very well that even if there were restraints, it was these things that allowed him to be who he is right now.

"You..." Nathan wanted to say something but in the end, he just shook his head.

He knew very well that there was no point for him to say anything else. Silas’s current situation was different from his.

Nathan could not care about anything and do whatever he wanted.

Because he’s the younger brother of the Green Family Patriarch. The Green Family that was loved and cared for by everyone in Wansu City. He was already like the little prince in Wansu City without anyone daring to do anything to him.

Growing up in such an environment, he was used to doing many things without caring too much about the consequences as long as it was for the people he cared for.

But Silas is not.

He’s the nephew of the Black Family Patriarch, a young genius who was being monitored and also someone who was being watched by both sides. Whatever he did, he would be faced with various scrutiny as they would not let him off for every mistake he made.

Growing up in such an environment, Silas had to weight his every option and made his decision after carefully thinking about it.

The two of them were very different.

They were arranged to one team and in the past, this matter didn’t have much impact. But at this moment, the difference in their way of doing things were revealed and they faced direct conflicts.

"Whatever you want to do." Nathan waved his hand and left in annoyance.

"Nathan!" Nisa quickly followed after Nathan worriedly.

Silas stood still in his place and took a deep breath.

He knew very well that his relationship with his team would turn even worse as time passed, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Because Silas knew very well that he couldn’t possibly go and take care of his teacher all the time.

His responsibility restrained him.

*Fiuh...*

Perhaps, this kind of restrained relationship would be for the best.

Silas made his way to the Black Family Residence. He had a place that he had to check.

Rank 7

It was the magic rank that many people hoped to attain but could never do. Because advancing to the rank 7 is a great risk for any mage and magic warriors.

Many of them never hoped that they could advance in their entire life.

But they also knew that the risk was too great.

Silas has naturally heard about this and frowned when he heard that someone had advanced to rank 7 and escaped unscathed.

With how tight the monitoring was...

It should have been impossible.

’Is it you?’

Silas looked in the direction of Patrick’s residence and silently extended his magic to form a shadow and entered the residence. He himself was standing a distance away from the residence, just looking at the others around him.

Patrick, who was resting, naturally noticed the magic fluctuation and came out. He saw the shadow on the courtyard slowly formed the shape of a man but in mini size.

"Shadow transmission and this familiar mana signature, is it you, Silas?" Patrick asked, his tone was leisurely.

"Granduncle," Silas’s voice was transmitted through the shadow. It sounded rather faint and low, but it was enough for them to communicate.

"Did something happen?" Patrick asked curiously. This grandnephew of his would never come to him if nothing happened.

Silas was silent for a moment and then said, "Someone advanced to rank 7."

"Um?"

The moment Patrick heard this, his breathing turned rough and his eyes narrowed sharply. The mana that he has been suppressing all these years seemed as if they were about to erupt.

But in the next moment, Patrick quickly controlled himself.

Advancing to rank 7 was indeed one of his lifelong dreams but at this moment, he had no reason to pressure himself to advance. With so many people watching over him and he himself had no other place to go to, there was no point for him to advance to rank 7.

So Patrick has always suppressed himself.

But when he heard of someone advancing to rank 7, he couldn’t help but lose control for a moment.

Just a moment.

It had revealed his heart’s desire.
