At the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, countless students gathered around.
They craned their necks to look out the door curiously, whispering excitedly:
"That's the eldest prince."
"So handsome, wearing golden armor."
The eyes of all the students gathered in one place.
There, the eldest prince stood majestically in front of the academy, wearing shining golden armor.
The sunlight reflected off his armor, creating a dazzling golden light.
The students gathered near the railing, their eyes reflecting the golden figure of the eldest prince.
Their mouths were open, stunned.
His admiration was like a raging ocean wave, constantly flowing towards the eldest prince.
This is completely different from when facing Victor.
Although Professor Victor is powerful, few students dare to contact him.
After all, it takes great courage and courage to face this prestigious professor.
Just by being close to Victor, the students could feel an invisible sense of oppression, as if a thousand-jin stone was pressing on their shoulders.
This is not just because of Victor's strength.
Professor Victor has too many identities.
The chief professor of the Royal Academy of Magic, a member of the Mage Council, the Earl of the Empire, and the personal teacher of Princess Aurelion...
The multiple identities are superimposed, making the students' hearts tremble even when they mention the name Victor.
But the eldest prince is completely different. His reputation spread throughout the royal capital.
Kind, gentle, patient and considerate, he treated everyone from high-ranking ministers to young children and even beggars on the streets with an equal attitude.
He even killed a giant dragon and brought its head back to the capital, demonstrating his extraordinary strength.
He is powerful and neither arrogant nor impetuous.
He has guarded the Monster Rift in the southern part of the empire for many years without ever failing, and has made great contributions to the security of the empire.
Under these auras, the students were full of respect for him.
Even the light reflected from the golden armor on his body brought a sense of tranquility and peace of mind to the students.
And the eldest prince also received a title that fit his experience——
【Perfect Hero】
At this time, he walked into the college with a kind smile and waved to the students on both sides.
There was a warmth like the spring breeze on the face that was no longer young but calm.
The guards behind them followed the eldest prince into the academy. Seeing this, they became even more excited:
"Will this year be the same as usual?"
"I don't know if I will be chosen..."
They were talking to each other, their eyes filled with infinite expectations for the eldest prince.
In fact, the eldest prince returns to the Royal Academy of Magic almost every year.
He will always select some young mages to join the team guarding the southern border.
In order to cope with the war in the south, the eldest prince's legion needs to recruit new mages every year.
They can either fight on the battlefield or be responsible for treating the wounded and handling logistics behind the scenes.
Typically, these logistical tasks are given priority to students joining the corps from the academy.
Many students selected by the legion are willing to join and follow the eldest prince to the southern border of the empire to train themselves.
For these students who have never experienced real war.
Joining the legion on the frontline battlefield is undoubtedly a heart-pounding excitement.
What's more, after such training, students will add such qualifications to their resumes after graduation.
There is even a chance to join the "Yad Mage Group" that belongs to the royal family first.
Even for a noble family, this is a very high honor.
What's more important is that even nobles will allow their children to go to the south for training.
After all, this is an army led by the eldest prince of the empire to guard southern Xinjiang.
The legion is filled with elites and is powerful.
Although they are on the front lines, the safety of students in the Corps is rarely at risk.
After all, this is the First Prince recruiting students from the academy for training, and the First Prince must not let them become cannon fodder.
All in all, joining the military pays well and has almost no downsides.
At this time, the eldest prince walked into the academy and waved to the students on both sides of the circle from time to time.
He could clearly see the students' eyes filled with admiration and expectation.
In fact, the eldest prince really enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by thousands of people and being regarded as a hero.
but……
The eldest prince walked on the road until there were far fewer students around him, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
He came back this time, though partly because he heard that his sister Aurelion had been chosen by the Emperor as the future heir to the throne.
But there are more reasons than that.
Today, the war in the South has become more tense and critical.
The original monster crack has been expanding day by day, and powerful monsters are constantly spurting out from it, which can no longer be effectively blocked.
This resulted in heavy damage to the adventurers and soldiers stationed around the rift.
Obviously, it is no longer enough to simply rely on adventurers to enter the cracks and clean up the monsters.
Even the top adventurer guilds have been unable to withstand the powerful offensive of a large number of monsters.
Especially the most famous among adventurers [Beast Guild]
After announcing to join the Cravenar family, the Beast Guild changed from neutrality to the power of the Cravenar family.
It cannot be said that they did not work hard, but the number of Beast Guild people left in the south has decreased a lot.
For example, almost all important key members of the union have left the southern part of the empire.
Most of them moved to Blyston, the territory of the Clivener family.
Serve as a bodyguard for the caravan or guard the security of the territory for the Cravenna family in exchange for generous rewards.
Fortunately, President Hera, known as the 'Beast', still sticks to the south.
And she is also the one who works hardest to stop monsters on the front line of the rift.
In fact, the monster rift in the south did not deteriorate so quickly in the first place.
If Albany discovers the problem in time, it may be able to take action in advance.
However, due to his negligence——
It took almost a month for Albany to realize she was missing.
Albany originally placed Sephiroth in the lower area of the crack in order to prevent the monsters in the lower level of the crack from spreading to the upper level too quickly.
These monsters were supposed to be Sephiroth's food, and she was supposed to be like a shackle to restrain the expansion of the monster's cracks.
But now, Sephiroth's disappearance has turned the lower level of the rift into a dangerous area without any jurisdiction.
The refresh rate of monsters is increasing day by day, and more powerful monsters are constantly rushing to the upper level.
The situation is getting worse.
If we don't find a solution,
It is estimated that it will take less than two months.
The southern part of the empire will be completely engulfed by the wave of monsters.
Albany thought of this and sighed feebly again.
Nowadays, there is no use in thinking too much.
Now he urgently needs to find a solution.
And the first person Albany thought of was Victor.
Albany turned his head slightly and asked the guard behind him in a low voice:
"Where's the news about Count Victor?"
The guard lowered his head respectfully and reported to Albany:
"Your Highness."
"Count Victor seems to be in class...after all, he is also a professor of this college."
Albany put a hand on his chin, stared at the road, and thought carefully.
It seems that there is really no problem.
The reason why he came to the academy to find Victor was because he knew that Victor was a professor at the Academy of Magic.
But after arriving, he ignored Victor's identity.
Victor's multiple identities make his professorship appear relatively bleak under other auras.
Albany took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and looked at a towering teaching castle:
"Let's go directly to Count Victor's class."
"I hope it won't disturb his class."
…
In the silent classroom, Victor sat on a chair with one leg crossed and a thick magic book in his hand.
The blackboard behind him was filled with various magical knowledge written in white chalk.
The blackboard behind him is full of all kinds of magic knowledge, and the neat fonts don't skimp on any corner.
The white writings burned on the blackboard like flames.
The students looked at the knowledge on the blackboard and regarded it as a treasure. They were crazy about the nourishment of this magical knowledge and wrote furiously in their notebooks.
Because the knowledge taught by Professor Victor is so exquisite.
Today, this has become Professor Victor’s latest teaching method.
He usually doesn't show up at the academy, and occasionally comes back to take a few classes when he's free.
But his way of teaching is rather special.
He would write something on the blackboard, use magic to summon a chair, take out a book, and sit down quietly.
Basically, sitting down like this is the time of a class.
This teaching method may be criticized by many people, but fortunately, the knowledge written by Professor Victor is too sophisticated.
The apparently profound magic logic becomes so easy to understand when written on the blackboard.
Of course, the students didn't know that.
The reason for teaching like this is just because Herni is no longer his teaching assistant and Victor doesn't know how to teach.
So he could only write down a bunch of magic spells that Vega secretly told him.
It's that simple.
While Victor took a silent break, the students frantically recorded their knowledge.
The quiet classroom filled with the sound of rustling writing was broken by a sudden knock on the door.
The students stopped writing and all looked at the source of the sound.
Victor didn't even raise his head and said calmly:
"Please come in."
The door opened, and an aristocratic man wearing bright golden armor walked in:
"Count Victor."
He stepped into the classroom and looked directly at Victor.
The students' eyes widened when they saw the coming person, and their hearts were filled with waves of shock.
Isn't this the eldest prince of the empire, Albany?
He actually came to visit Professor Victor!
However, Professor Victor was not as kind as they imagined.
Victor still lowered his head and did not look at him. He gently turned a page of the book and responded calmly:
"If you are here to chat with me, then stay here until get out of class is over and don't disturb the students."
"If you came to me for other reasons...then I need to remind you."
Victor closed the book quietly, his eyes flashing and his voice cold:
"I'm the princess's man."
