Chapter 27: Night

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After the new Apprentices joined the Shadow Tower for a period of time, they would be assigned a mandatory mission to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Apprentices.

Ender said, “I heard that it’s already being arranged. It will probably come down before the end of this month.”

A hint of joy flashed across Heath’s face. The mandatory mission had a certain nature of assessment. As long as the Apprentices completed it, they would receive a considerable reward.

Seeing his expression, Ender could not help but say, “Look at how happy you are. Why? The mission hasn’t even started yet, and you already have it in your hands?”

Although everyone was also looking forward to it, other than Heath, the rest were more nervous.

This was because the mandatory mission this time would have a Wizard secretly observing it. It was very important.

Whether it was completed or not, and how good the quality of the completed mission was, it would all affect the rewards given by Shadow Tower in the future. It would even directly affect whether they could become official Apprentices of the Shadow Tower in the future.

It could be said that the Shadow Tower would give these unofficial Apprentices a chance!

Heath said, “It’s not bad. I heard that this mission is usually not too difficult, right? Usually, it can be completed.”

The difficulty of this mission was not high. Moreover, the missions received were different according to the individual’s strength. Usually, it was within the ability range of each Apprentice.

Ender said, “Yes, all of them can be completed, but this is also the difficult part, okay?”

It might not be too difficult to complete the mission, but it was very difficult to perform well and attract the attention of the tower to obtain the qualification to become an official Apprentice.

For a time, everyone became a little worried, and the atmosphere could not help but become a little gloomy.

Jessica broke the deadlock.

She picked up the spoon and knocked on the plate. “Okay, okay, everyone, don’t put on a sour face. Do your best. Even if the Wizards don’t like you, you can still perform well next time, right?”

“After eating, go buy two barrels of wine. I’ll go ask two girls out. Everyone, find a place to get drunk and pick fruits for the whole day. I’m exhausted. Let’s relax.”

After hearing Jessica’s words, the gloomy atmosphere finally eased up.

“Jessica is right. It’s useless to think about this. Just do your best. The rest depends on fate.”

“Drink! Drink!”

“I don’t think we should choose a place. Let’s go to my place. Also, can you help me ask Helen out? I’ve liked her brown hair for a long time.”

Jessica then invited Heath, “Come with us, Heath? Although training is important, we should relax occasionally, right? Let’s drink some wine and play cards together.”

After a pause, she smiled seductively and said, “One card and one shirt.”

Heath ate his mashed potatoes and answered casually, “You guys go ahead. I still have to meditate at night.”

Jessica said, “What a magic lunatic!”

“If one of us really succeeds in becoming a Wizard, I have no doubt that it will be you!”

Heath shrugged. “Thank you.”

Jessica’s lips curved into a smile and continued, “Then, future Wizard, you should be alone now. Do you need a woman by your side? How about I introduce you to a girlfriend?”

Heath was about to refuse, but Jessica said, “Don’t refuse yet. Let me tell you about her situation.”

“She is a standard beauty. Compared to Karina who ran away, she is not bad at all. Moreover, she is an intermediate-level Apprentice.”

“And she is also like you, a crazy magic person who is dedicated to spells. This time, because of the special relationship between the spells she learned, she entrusted me to find a cleaner boyfriend for her. Otherwise, she would never do anything reckless.”

Jessica asked, “It’s a rare opportunity. How is it? Do you want to meet her?”

Heath took a bite of the mashed potatoes and casually agreed, “Sure.”

Jessica’s words did indeed pique his interest a little.

…

It was night, Heath’s dormitory.

Tss tss!

The suet candles were burning, and the flickering flames lit up the surroundings.

It was an old wooden table and a four-legged stool.

At this moment, Heath, who was wearing a cloak, was sitting on the stool. He leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

From time to time, tiny specks of light would flash by Heath’s side and fly towards his glabella.

Those who were familiar with magic knew what this was —

Meditation.

At the same time, a notification that only Heath could hear rang in his ears from time to time:

[Beep, elemental extraction successful. Spiritual power increased.]

[Beep, elemental extraction successful. Spiritual power increased.]

Previously, when he was meditating, Heath had accidentally tried to use the extraction when he accidentally discovered that he could also use the extraction when he was meditating.

The advantage of doing this was that every time he meditated, other than the spiritual power that was increased by the meditation itself, he could also obtain a portion of additional spiritual power through the extraction of elements. Although the amount was not much, it was still considered an unexpected surprise.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Heath stopped meditating and opened his eyes, looking at the dark sky outside in surprise.

It was so late. Who was it?

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door again.

“Coming!”?Heath replied, then got up and walked over to open the door.

There was an unfamiliar girl standing outside the door.

Her body was a little thin and she wore a gray cloak. Her rare silver-gray hair was very eye-catching.

Heath asked, “May I ask who are you?”

The girl looked up and Heath found that her pupils were also gray.

There was no smile on her face. She looked like a block of ice. She looked at Heath coldly and said, “May I ask if Apprentice Heath lives here?”

Heath said, “I am.”

After confirming his identity, the girl introduced herself briefly. “My name is Shirley. Jessica introduced me to you.”

Heath thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that Jessica said she was going to introduce him to a girlfriend.

“Oh!”

He subconsciously stepped aside and said, “Please come in.”

The two returned to the room. Heath invited the girl to sit down at the table. Then, he took out a cup and a drink and poured a cup for the girl.

Heath brought the cup to her. “Would you like some nectar?”

The girl took it. “Thank you.”

Then, the girl stopped talking. It was as if she was thinking about something. The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and it seemed a little awkward.

Looking at the girl at the table, Heath was baffled.

He had indeed promised to do this during dinner, but shouldn’t there be a basic law for a blind date? What was this? In the middle of the night, a person came knocking on the door of a blind date for no reason? And they had never met before!

Heath felt that this girl couldn’t be out of her mind, right?

‘Forget it. Since she’s already here, no matter what, I’ll deal with it first.’

Thinking of this, Heath was prepared to say something to ease the atmosphere.

However, before he could say it, the girl spoke first.

Her expression seemed to be hesitant and struggling. She gently bit her teeth and even took a deep breath before she spoke.

Then, she said, “Did Jessica mention anything about me to you?”

Heath was stunned and replied, “She hasn’t said much.”

The girl nodded and took off her cloak.

Under her cloak, she was wearing a close-fitting halter skirt that was similar to home clothes. The girl looked very thin on the outside, but after she took off her cloak, she unexpectedly had some material. One of the skirts was tightly taut, and a pair of white rabbits seemed to be about to jump out.

At this time, Heath also noticed that the girl’s appearance was also quite good. She had an oval face, peach eyes, skin like snow, and a temperament like frost.

Jessica had previously said that her beauty was not inferior to Karina’s. Heath had originally thought that it was an exaggeration, but after a closer look, he realized that she was not bragging at all. In terms of appearance, this girl’s beauty was really not inferior to Karina’s.

It was just that this ice-cold appearance was filled with the feeling that strangers were not allowed to get near, giving people the feeling that she was very difficult to approach.

When Heath was sizing up the girl, the girl spoke further.

She said, “Let me get straight to the point. My elemental affinity is in the direction of darkness. Because I have part of the demon bloodline in my body, I also walk the Demon Path, studying magic in the direction of demons.”

Heath raised his eyebrows. He suddenly understood what the girl meant…

He asked, “Forgive me for being presumptuous, but your demon bloodline is…”

The girl said, “Succubus.”

Heath suddenly understood. So it was like that…

Seeing Heath’s expression, the girl could not help but ask in surprise, “You know?”

This was relatively unpopular knowledge.

Heath said, “A little, but not too clear. I heard that girls who study this kind of spell need to regularly… regularly…”

The girl said bluntly, “Sleep with men.”

There were many strange spells and bloodlines in the Wizard World, and studying these spells and bloodlines had some unimaginable restrictions. The succubus bloodline in front of him was one of them.

This bloodline would only be inherited by Witches, and this route required regular release of desires. Otherwise, it would be difficult to increase one’s strength, and one might even go crazy.

The girl continued, “Since you know, then I won’t waste any more time.”

At this point, she unbuttoned her shirt and simply took off her clothes, revealing her seductive snow-white body to Heath.

She went straight to the point, “I need a cleaner Wizard to help me with my training. If you’re willing, I’ll stay here tonight. Otherwise, I’ll pretend that I never came here.”

Heath looked at the girl in front of him speechlessly. Should he praise her for being straightforward? Or should he scold her for being shameless?

Alright, these were all secondary matters.

The point is, what choice did he have?

That…

Did this need a choice?
