When the figures of the two official black mages gradually faded away, the "hoo hoo hoo" sound of the owl's call slowly echoed.
In fact, these college inspectors had arrived long ago, but even they did not dare to rashly get involved in the battle between the two official black mages.
Saien saw the owl inspector he knew—Qi—among the few owls that looked similar. He could recognize Qi at a glance because, after multiple interactions, Saien noticed that among the white feathers on Qi's chest, one was red, which was different from the other owls.
Qi probably saw Saien as well, but it did not come forward to greet him.
After assigning two owls to guard the surrounding environment and the burning plant behemoth's corpse, Qi and the other owl inspectors flew in the direction Master Mosido and Kaiserson had left.
It had been over a decade since an official battle between black mages had erupted in Moxibula City.
It was unknown whether this battle would cause significant damage to the college or the city.
...
"Hehehe, since Kaiserson has already apologized, and you have extracted the life core of his plant pet, I think we should just let this matter go."
In Master Mosido's room, a distinguished guest had visited today.
Saien recognized this visitor; it was one of the three vice-deans of the Moxibula City Black Magic College—Master Dadalong.
Due to the battle between the two official black mages a few days ago, which involved Saien, he, who was only at the intermediate apprentice level, was also present in the room.
The Master Dadalong before him showed none of the sly and cold demeanor he had displayed in the dungeon a few months ago. Instead, his face was warm, like that of a friendly old man, as he spoke kindly to Mosido.
During the conversation with Mosido, Dean Dadalong also glanced at Saien, who was standing respectfully to the side, with a look of satisfaction and appreciation for a junior.
"You have a good disciple here. He has already advanced to the intermediate apprentice level in just a few months."
Dean Dadalong had come to mediate.
In fact, after a conflict between official black mages at the Black Magic College, it was usually the dean who would step in to mediate.
His powerful abilities and the title of dean were sufficient to resolve most issues.
But this time...
"Dean, if it were just an experimental accident and a few of my disciples were injured, I would let it go."
"But you must know that the water element fission generator also failed due to that guy's interference."
"Do you think I came out of retirement at the request of Dean Martin and traveled all the way from the Western Isles for nothing?" Mosido said with a calm, light yellow gaze.
"What? The water element fission generator failed!"
"Is there any possibility of remaking it?"
Dean Dadalong no longer continued to protect Kaiserson, but instead asked with a tense expression.
In response to the dean's question, Mosido stroked his metal magic staff and said calmly, "It is possible to remake it, but my workbench needs some time to be repaired."
"The raw materials for production also need to be found again."
Mosido's response made Dean Dadalong breathe a sigh of relief.
But the dean also realized that this mediator role would not be easy.
A few days ago, Mosido chased Kaiserson from the Black Magic College all the way to the southern district of Moxibula City.
Then from the southern district, he pursued him to the eastern district.
Until he finally drove Kaiserson out of Moxibula City, Mosido finally stopped.
The battle between the two black mages caused significant damage to many residences in Moxibula City and chaos throughout the district, but that was a minor issue.
What many onlookers were concerned about was Master Mosido's bold declaration: if Kaiserson dared to enter the Black Magic College again, he would not hesitate to strike him down!
This blatant threat and aggressive style clearly demonstrated the violent nature of a black mage.
From this, it was evident that one should not underestimate Mosido just because he was usually low-key.
In terms of combat ability and a vengeful personality, Mosido was actually more formidable than the average black mage.
Moreover, an important piece of information Mosido revealed was that he also came from the Western Isles.
After receiving Mosido's firm stance, Dean Dadalong did not linger any longer.
After a few more casual exchanges with Mosido, the dean hurriedly left.
Before leaving, Dean Dadalong promised to quickly gather the alchemical materials Mosido needed.
But Mosido must complete the element fission generator within the specified time.
Saien, who had been serving respectfully and could not interject, was very curious about why Dean Dadalong wanted his mentor to make the element fission generator.
However, these secrets involving official black mages were clearly beyond his reach.
Although Saien could not interject, after seeing Dean Dadalong off, Mosido took the initiative to advise him: "When someone bullies you, you must fight back, and fight back hard."
"If you cannot defeat them, you can choose to endure or compromise."
"But if the other party is weaker than you, never show mercy, and never let the tiger return to the mountain."
"If you can eliminate the root cause, that is the best!" Mosido advised Saien.
After saying these words, Mosido seemed to recall something, and his mood became a bit heavier.
After a moment, Mosido continued, "If your second senior brother had understood this earlier or been less arrogant, he would not have fallen so early."
After saying this, Mosido returned to his laboratory.
Saien was left alone in the living room, deeply reflecting on his mentor's words.
...
Master Kaiserson, it seemed, had some connections and influence at the Black Magic College.
In addition to Dean Dadalong, three more official black mages came in the following days to mediate, hoping Mosido would let Kaiserson off.
Saien did not recognize the first two black mages, and Mosido did not give them any face.
But the last black mage who came to mediate was treated with respect by Mosido, which was quite rare.
"I didn't expect you to come. Are you here to speak for that guy?" Mosido, who usually had a gloomy demeanor, now spoke more gently.
The black mage standing before Mosido was a female mage wearing a light blue magic robe.
This female mage was a renowned alchemist at the Black Magic College, and her reputation in the field of alchemy was on par with Mosido's in the field of alchemy.
This female mage was named Dils, and she was Meli's mentor.
