The Genius Mage

Chapter 302: Mutual Exchange

These words puzzled Audrey. In terms of strength, she was definitely not the strongest person in Spark City. Why had Lance chosen her?

“You have shown me Spark City’s hope. I believe that you have a way to do it.” Lance’s tone was firm, and the way he looked at Audrey was full of affirmation.

Audrey’s eyes narrowed as she hesitated.

“Is that the only way Spark City can do it? is that the reason why we went to the isolated island and brought back the energy ball?” Audrey thought of the previous devil training and suddenly understood the reason.

Lance nodded affirmatively. Since he had already planned to let Audrey investigate this matter, he told her without holding anything back.

“I understand.” Audrey pondered for a moment, then looked straight at Lance with her azure eyes and said, “I can agree to it, but I have a request that you have to agree to.”

Hearing this, Lance snorted, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. Someone actually requested him.

“Speak.”

“The Magic Academy can not be dismantled.”

Lance frowned slightly as if he did not expect Audrey to make such a request. The Magic Academy had not been mentioned for a long time, and if it were mentioned, it would be negative.

And the girl in front of him was protecting the academy. So it was tough to understand.

“Why?” Lance hesitated for a moment and still asked.

“You will know in the future. In short, we will exchange at the same price. If you want me to agree to your mission, you have to agree to my request,” Audrey said decisively. She was sure that Lance would not refuse.

Audrey’s straightforward words made Lance fall into deep thought.

The demolition of the Magic Academy was a decision that many people had made together. Even though he was the City Lord, he could not make a decision casually. However, Audrey was the most suitable candidate to investigate the Carol Association.

Following Lance’s silence, Audrey felt a little apprehensive.

Just as she was getting anxious from waiting, Lance finally looked at her as if he had made some important decision. “Alright, I’ll agree to your request. I’ll leave the matters of the Carol Association to you. You must do it as soon as possible.”

“I understand. Thank you, City Lord.” Audrey nodded. The moment she lowered her head, she hid the joy in her eyes.

The Magic Academy did not need to be demolished anymore. Audrey could not wait to tell Miss Claude the excellent news. After leaving the City Lord’s mansion, Audrey went straight to the Magic Academy.

Although it was already very late, she believed that Miss Claude had not rested yet. After all, he did not sleep or relax to study magic.

Sure enough, when Audrey pushed open the slightly old door, she saw a light lamp lit in the room. Teacher Claude sat under the lamp and looked at the magic book seriously.

“Teacher Claude, I have good news for you.” Audrey walked in and sat beside teacher Claude. The joy on her face was evident.

Claude glanced at her with a kind smile. “I know that you’ve successfully entered the Knights Legion. Congratulations. I’ve always believed that you can do it. Audrey, you’re talented and smart.”

Although Claude had always stayed in the Magic Academy and rarely went out, he was still well-informed.

Audrey smiled helplessly. That was not what she wanted to talk about.

“Thank you, teacher. But I want to tell you something else.” Audrey deliberately kept him in suspense, looking mysterious.

“Oh? What is it?” Claude pushed his eyes and looked at Audrey carefully as if he was looking at her, but he did not notice anything different.

“The Magic Academy isn’t going to be demolished,” Audrey said seriously and happily.

What surprised Audrey was that teacher Claude was not very happy. At least, he did not only show joy but also faint worry.

The Magic Academy was already set to be demolished. It was only a matter of time. How could Audrey change everyone’s decision so easily? This was what teacher Claude was worried about.

“Why? How did you do it? What did you promise them?” Teacher Claude asked, causing Audrey to be a little stunned.

She did not expect teacher Claude to be so thorough.

“It’s nothing. I promised to help investigate something.” However, considering that Lance had said that it was confidential, Audrey said it more subtly.

“What is it?” Claude continued to ask. His heart was apprehensive about Audrey.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Audrey’s eyes. She was conflicted about whether she should tell her teacher or not.

After thinking for a moment, she still said it. Audrey believed that teacher Claude was a trustworthy person. Moreover, he stayed in the Magic Academy and had no conflicts with the world. Therefore, he would not spread this matter.

“Carol will. City Lord Lance asked me to investigate this organization,” Audrey said simply. She did not mention the matter of the energy of Spark City to avoid teacher Claude’s worry.

Claude repeated those three words and narrowed his eyes. He had heard of it before, but he did not understand it, so he could only ask Audrey to be more careful.

“Don’t worry, teacher. I will protect myself.” Audrey nodded solemnly.

After chatting with Claude in the Magic Academy for a while, Audrey left and returned to her dormitory.

The next day, the news that the Magic Academy would not be demolished spread throughout Templar Knights. Many people were astonished, and those who had been determined to destroy the Magic Academy also protested.

However, all of these were settled by Lance so that no one was allowed to discuss the matter of the Magic Academy in the future.

“I don’t know why, but why is it suddenly stopped? There’s no point in keeping the Magic Academy,” Cole frowned and was ridiculed with a puzzled look.

“That might not be the case,” Audrey snorted.

Lance’s actions made her very satisfied, and she could not help but admire that man more. He had done what he had promised, and he had solved the problems in the future very well. He was not sloppy at all.
