Is that so?
It seemed like it was as teacher Claude had said. Clement was hidden here, or else he would not have kept such a low profile. It would have taken a lot of effort to meet him.
“Is there no other way to meet him?” Audrey asked thoughtfully.
“Of course there is,” Dempsey answered affirmatively.
Audrey’s eyes lit up, and her blue eyes became brighter and clearer.
“The Magic Convention will be held in a few days. If I can get a good ranking in the Magic Convention, I’ll be able to see Clement no matter what kind of training I’m doing.”
The Magic Convention? Was it like the trial in Spark City?
.
As if he could tell that Audrey did not quite understand, Dempsey glanced at her helplessly and explained, “The Magic Convention is the annual compet.i.tion of the academy. The higher the ranking, the more resources I’ll get.”
“I understand.”
Audrey had secretly decided to partic.i.p.ate in the Magic Convention this time. This seemed to be the only way to see Clement.
At the end of the day, Audrey immediately went to find Kate and told her about the magic convention.
“The Magic Convention, but I don’t know magic either,” Kate said helplessly as he spread his hands. It was obvious that he was thinking too narrowly.
Audrey chuckled, “That’s just a name. A magic convention is actually a compet.i.tion in the academy. No matter what you practice, you can sign up to partic.i.p.ate.”
“Is that so?” Kate rubbed the back of his head in embarra.s.sment. “Then how can we partic.i.p.ate?”
“I’ve already asked around. All I need to do is to get the person in charge to sign up.”
It was the old man from that day. At this moment, it was unknown where he was sweeping the floor.
Audrey could not sense the aura of the old man either. She could only search aimlessly. Fortunately, her luck was not bad. In less than half an hour, she saw the old man resting with his eyes closed on the bench.
“Mr. Hogan.” Audrey walked up generously. “We want to sign up to partic.i.p.ate in this year’s Magic Convention.”
The old man slowly opened his eyes and sized up the two of them with a questioning gaze. Although their strength was not bad, very few people would partic.i.p.ate in the first year.
“Are you sure? The Magic Convention isn’t a joke,” the old man said.
“I’m sure,” Audrey answered immediately. Her eyes were filled with certainty.
The old man smiled and nodded. “Then partic.i.p.ate. I’ll remember your names. Audrey, Kate.”
The old man smoothly read out their names, which surprised Audrey. She did not expect him to remember them so quickly. It seemed that the two of them had not introduced themselves to the old man.
“Thank you, Mr. Hogan.” Audrey bowed slightly and turned to leave.
“Audrey, we don’t even know the strength of the people in this school. How should we deal with them?” Kate became worried after registering.
Audrey was not completely clear about everyone’s strength, but she could vaguely sense that there did not seem to be any particularly powerful magic aura here, except for Clement.
Therefore, Magic Convention should not be a problem.
However, Audrey was still faintly worried about Kate. His combat aura was only suitable for close combat. Compared to magic, which was used for long-distance combat, he did not have much of an advantage.
“There’s still some time left. Train well. Your combat aura is for close combat. You need to think about how to defeat magic that specializes in long-distance combat.”
“I understand.”
The two of them walked to their respective dormitories, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.
The next day.
Audrey went to Dempsey’s alchemy room as usual. Unlike before, today’s alchemy room was filled with medicinal herbs and a few lists.
Audrey glanced at them briefly. The potions on the list were relatively simple, but the amount was quite large.
“Teacher, what do you need me to do today?” She took the initiative to ask.
“Do you see those lists? Make them out. That’s what the City Lord wants. Since I’m not around, I’ll leave them to you.” Dempsey was clearly unhappy when he said this.
Making potions for the City Lord was not necessarily a good deal. It was often a loss.
“Alright,” Audrey agreed immediately.
Since Dempsey believed in her skills, she would do it.
Soon, Dempsey left.
Audrey was alone in the alchemy room, dealing with all the herbs. Using the power in her body, she could easily combine the herbs together to form a preliminary solvent.
Next, she made a batch of potions according to the ratio.
The blue potion was as clear as the blue sky, without any turbidity or blemish.
Audrey put it aside in satisfaction and continued with the next potion.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and an unfamiliar aura entered. Audrey immediately became alert because she could clearly feel the aura becoming fierce.
Endis crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Audrey arrogantly. She raised her head and said, “You’re Audrey?”
“That’s right. May I know why you’re looking for me?”
With the thought of not causing trouble, Audrey still asked politely.
“Who told you to stay here?” To her surprise, Endis snorted disdainfully and said in a disgusted tone.
