Lucien looked at the grand gate of Greybone Academy, his gaze calm and icy.
"Stop the car," Lucien spoke softly, his eyes fixed on a seemingly withered old man standing before the gate. From the familiar spiritual power emanating from the man, Lucien recognized him as Heli, the wizard he had once dueled with on Kosai Island using a Mysterious Puppet.
"You're back?" Wizard Heli appeared calm, even his tone was remarkably open.
"You see me, just to say that?" Lucien squinted his eyes, and he also held the Wizard's Notes in his right hand, silently constructing a witchcraft model.
"Hahaha!" Wizard Heli did not utter any pleas for mercy. Instead, a layer of blood-light emitted from his body as he charged at Lucien, letting out a shrill and eerie scream that made Gagarin and the others feel intensely nauseous from within the nearby carriage.
Empowered by his blood, Wizard Heli's speed was so fast that afterimages appeared.
