Bexia returned to the classroom directly from the dean's office and arrived just in time for the practical class. Before he could say anything, they all went to the playground for the practical class.

"Hey! Bexia! I heard you were assisting Princess Wang in solving a case. How did it go?" Bexia's friend, Carter, immediately approached and asked.

"Solving a case?!" Bexia was surprised, but quickly understood. It was probably arranged by Ophelia or his newly recognized teacher, Bor. After all, the events that happened while he was away needed a reasonable explanation, and assisting in solving a case was not wrong!

"Yes!" Bexia didn't say much. He promised Bor not to spread this matter around, especially concerning PostKervy, as it would affect the dignity of the royal family.

"What's the result? Was the culprit caught?" Carter asked curiously.

"The culprit was caught. It will probably be made public in a few days!" Bexia nodded.

"Oh! By the way, who was the beautiful girl you were with this morning? When did you start flirting with her?" Carter gave Bexia a lewd look, as Christine and Bexia's actions were obviously intimate, and anyone could tell that their relationship was not ordinary.

"It's a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later when we get back!"

"Why can't you say it now?"

"Even if I tell you, you won't believe it!" Bexia shook his head. The fact that he transformed from a weapon into a living girl was something he himself couldn't accept at once!

"Okay, so what did Dean call you for earlier?"

"Nothing. He just gave me a reward for assisting in solving the case."

"Reward? What is it?"

"It's a magic ring that enhances magical training!"

"That's a great thing! Show it to me later!"

"There are too many people here. Let's talk about it in the dormitory."

"How stingy! But it shouldn't take that long for a reward."

"The teacher took me as his disciple!" Bexia answered openly without hiding anything.

Carter was stunned for a few seconds, then widened his eyes and exclaimed, "What did you say? Dean took you as his disciple?!"

"Hahaha! Is this guy crazy? How could Dean take him as his disciple?"

"He must have gone mad!"

"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"

Everyone who heard Carter's words looked at him as if he were a fool. No one believed what he said.

"Are you feverish? Why are you talking nonsense?" Carter didn't believe it either. He even touched Bexia's forehead and murmured, "You're not feverish."

"There's no need to lie to you. See for yourself!"

Bexia activated his magic and lit up the magic imprint on the back of his hand. The explosive flame emblem left everyone stunned. This was the magic imprint circulating in the streets and alleys of Asman—the magic imprint of Bor, the Chief Elemental Mage of Asman and the Dean of the Royal Academy of Magic!

"How is this possible?!"

"How did Bor take notice of this kid? I heard even the genius Elemental Mage, Duke Harmon's son, was rejected by Bor. Is this guy's talent even stronger than his?!"

"Why can he catch Bor Dean's attention?"

"I haven't even seen him release any magic!"

"His level of magic power is not even at the lower rank. How can a junior student..."

"You know, it's strange, right? Princess Wang actively became his guide before. Could it be that he has some special..."

"That makes sense. That third-year student, Anzu, the priestess who came, was also very close to him. You know, those noble sons and daughters who went to court her were all left with their noses in the dust..."

"In that case, this guy's identity must be extraordinary..."

The news of Bexia becoming a disciple of BorDean spread throughout the entire academy within the span of an afternoon. Whether it was the dozing professors in the office, the cafeteria workers, the graduating seniors, or the street sweepers, it seemed that everyone knew about it, even the ants on the ground. Various speculations and rumors arose as a result.

There were even rumors that Bexia was the emperor's illegitimate child!

As the person involved, Bexia had originally planned to rest in his dormitory at noon, but because of this matter, Carter relentlessly questioned him. This forced him to sneak away and unable to return to the dormitory. With nowhere else to go, he could only seek refuge in Bor's secret alchemy laboratory.

Not just anyone could enter Bor's laboratory, and without his magical imprint, one couldn't even get inside. Furthermore, various magic formations were set up around it, so there was no need to worry about other things.

The smell in the laboratory was not as musty as one would imagine, considering that an elementalist was not an ordinary person. Especially when it came to their magic books, they were taken care of very well. Even if they fell into water, there was no need to worry about mold or any other issues.

There was no one inside the laboratory, and the table used specifically for reading books had a stack of books neatly placed on it. Next to it was a shelf filled with crystal test tubes, each containing about half a vial of green secret potion. Bexia counted a total of thirty vials, which was his monthly supply.

To Bexia's surprise, Bor was so efficient in handling matters. Looking at these potions, Bexia was somewhat moved. Beneath the stack of thick books, there was a note explaining the effects of the potions. They were used to accelerate the condensation of mana while also strengthening the physique, although the effects in this area were not particularly significant.

Bexia picked up one vial of secret potion and poured it into his mouth. As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt a slight increase in mana. With a careful sense, he discovered a problem with his body. The chaos divine power seemed to be particularly dominating, absorbing the secret potion as if it were regular mana.

"How is this possible?" Bexia was puzzled and picked up another vial of secret potion, which was quickly decomposed into mana by the chaos divine power. At the same time, his mana level also increased a bit!

"It seems quite powerful!" Bexia felt the changes in the chaos divine power and found it somewhat unbelievable. Because the chaos divine power had gained new abilities or enhanced its original abilities, it could rapidly absorb mana.

"Does this mean I don't need to cultivate anymore? As long as I have enough secret potions, I can directly enhance my mana!" Bexia thought, feeling a bit crazy. If that were really the case, as long as he had sufficient resources, could he quickly raise his mana to the level of a Crowned Champion?

He also discovered that the mana coming out of the chaos divine power had begun to change. If the original manifestation of mana in his body was like air, it now began to appear as mist. This was the change he needed to raise his mana level.

Thinking this, Bexia licked his lips as he looked at the secret potions on the table...
