Chapter 154: The Best Master
After the old man’s emotional episode, the three returned to discussing Hal’s wizardry.
Korvus and Isolde also learned how Hal uses the spell cards, that he could utilize two at a time, and that practically nobody could defeat him in casting speed, since he only needed to perform gestures to cast spells.
Of course, the two academy leaders had long realized that there must be something holding everything together for the young man, but since Hal didn’t share it, they decided to respect his decision and not ask.
They were already content with what he had shared, anyway.
It was a shame that even Hal didn’t know exactly how to earn the said Chaos Points apart from winning big events, killing monsters, destroying the fell race’s plans, and taking part in chaotic events.
Otherwise, the two academy leaders would’ve helped him.
The conversation about him inevitably ended with Isolde granting his request of freedom.
To his surprise, he even received a simple necklace artifact with a strangely soothing amethyst pendant as a bonus, which could apparently be activated by infusing one’s mana into it.
The accessory would then teleport the user—along with up to five others making direct contact with any part of Hal’s body—back to Isolde’s office.
It was a handy life-saving talisman.
Hal decided not to use his last request just in case he needed it in the future.
