The Bizarre Wizarding World Chapter 505 - 505 339

Chapter 505: 339 Chapter 505: 339 In the Tin Saint School, a First Rank Wizard is required to complete four compulsory tasks every year.

On average, that’s one task per quarter.

However, this does not an that a Wizard needs to complete a compulsory task every quarter, but rather a total of four throughout the year.

In practice, the School usually does assign a compulsory task every quarter, but this is only the norm…

Wizards can apply to start early and finish the four compulsory tasks for the year ahead of ti.

But once assigned, except under special circumstances, they cannot be postponed.

On the afternoon of February 1st, Colin returned to Neustadt City, covered in dust and dirt.

He did not go ho, but went straight to the General Affairs Castle of the School.

“Lord Colin, we et again.” It was the duty wizard he had seen in January, his expression sowhat strange, a mix of confusion and sympathy.

“Your compulsory task this ti is to go to Ancient North Village and eliminate the First Rank Ice and Snow Monster that is attacking.”

“How long is the deadline?” Colin asked calmly.

“Let see… Hmm, it’s three months, but…” The duty wizard lifted an eyebrow slightly in surprise and continued, “However, there is a week of preparation ti, you can leave after a week.”

This was quite an unusual case; normally, compulsory tasks do not give Wizards much ti to prepare, at most a day or two before they must depart.

If they need more preparation ti due to special circumstances, the Wizard who accepts the task must apply for it themselves, rather than being given it at the start of the task.

“Understood,” Colin nodded without much expression, “Give the details of the task.”

“Of course, Lord Colin.” The duty wizard handed him a crystal, adding, “If there are no special circumstances, I would personally suggest that you complete this task as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you fail, not only will you lose School Points, but you will also have to accept two more compulsory tasks.”

“Mhm.” Colin nodded and took the crystal.

Half an hour later, Colin returned ho.

Sitting in his study chair, he did not hurry to look at the specifics of the compulsory task but went to the ditation Room after resting for a bit.

“Seven days… should be enough.”

A group of black Shadows closely followed him, almost perfectly blending into Colin’s own shadow.

These were the Silent Shadows created by the Black Mist Net, a total of six.

Each one, reford by a Great Knight, possessed at least the strength of a Basic Level Demon Beast, with the leader of the Silent Shadows even comparable to a First Rank Interdiate.

But to the present-day Colin, the Silent Shadows’ capabilities were clearly insufficient, although fighting was not what the Silent Shadows excelled at.

Bang.

The door to the ditation Room slowly closed, and the Bright Crystal shone casting deep shadows.

Two days later in the morning.

Yulaya, representing the Hidosh Family, ca for a visit, accompanied by a Male Wizard nad Andy from the Clifford Pureblood Family.

Colin received them in his study.

“Lord Colin, it’s been a while, I thought you were at the True Knowledge Society,” Yulaya was the first to sit down, smiling as she spoke.

She continued by turning her head to explain, “This is Lord Andy, we happened to et on the way, so we ca over together.”

“Good morning, Lord Colin,” Andy also sat down opposite Colin, leaning next to Yulaya.

He had represented the Clifford Family during the congratulations on Colin’s acquisition of the Golden Feather Token, so there was no need for further introductions.

Indeed, the Clifford Family was the only Pureblood Family to send a Male Wizard, which made Colin all the more morable.

“Good morning to both of you,” Colin greeted with a polite smile, saying little else, but ordered Renee to serve tea.

The three of them chatted idly for a full half-hour, covering everything from the weather to School anecdotes, without ever touching on the main topic.

Or rather, Yulaya and Andy did not ntion the real reason for their visit, as if it were just a friendly call between friends.

And Colin did not inquire, responding with polite conversation.

After all, he didn’t need to spend energy on the Black Mist Net for the ti being, and ditation only required four hours each day.

He had plenty of ti to go around in circles with the two guests.

However, to Colin’s surprise, an hour later, when Andy suggested leaving, not a single useful piece of information had been revealed.

As for Yulaya, although she stayed an extra hour, she simply steered the conversation towards trivial matters about him, such as his favorite foods.

This left Colin sowhat puzzled, but that was all; he put it aside and did not think further about it… nor was there a need to.

Colin preferred to focus his energies on breaking through with the Fireball Technique four tis, to see if it was possible to reach a breakthrough and make it a Second Rank witchcraft before starting his task.

After all, though unsure what the Pureblood Families were concocting, as long as he remained a mber of the School, a mber of Golden Feather,

the likelihood was that these Pureblood Families would not dare to strike at him fatally… after all, there was no deep hatred.

The Pureblood Families simply wanted to change his mind subtly, to have him join them.

As long as they kept their tactics above board, the most they could do was be a nuisance to him.
