182: Return and Celebration (Part 2)

He was greatly surprised, followed by a surge of joy.

A Tier 2 Wizard!

This was a Tier 2 Wizard!

The more than 30,000 Wizards and Knights below the stage were stunned; in their knowledge, the Mist Coast had never produced a Tier 2 Wizard, had it?

Had their Plant Heart Academy set a record?

“Boom...”

Like a pot of boiling water, after a brief moment of dead silence, the Plant Heart Academy completely erupted.

The immense cheers even dispersed the misty clouds in the sky.

Several old Wizards in the front row were so excited they started twitching.

People sang and danced, countless individuals excitedly embraced each other; in a word, the feeling of happiness from hell to heaven was no more than this.

Their Plant Heart Academy had set a record, and along with it, the Plant Heart Academy would be inscribed in the glorious annals of history.

From now on, they could walk with their heads held high. Our Plant Heart Academy has produced a Tier 2 High-level Wizard; has your academy?

Everyone knew that after today, the status of Plant Heart Academy on the Mist Coast would become extraordinary, and this, of course, brought them immense benefits.

It was feared that from now on, the reputation of Plant Heart Academy would surpass Radiant Fire Wizard Academy, becoming the number one legendary academy of the entire Mist Coast... More than half an hour later.

The crowd's revelry finally began to subside, and the high-ranking officials of the various Wizard Academies on the stage had been waiting patiently.

Previously, everyone in the academy had worked very hard and made great contributions to the academy's development. Now that there was such great news, everyone could enjoy themselves, relax, and let off some steam; what was wrong with that?

In fact, these high-ranking academy officials had only learned the news in the past few days; previously, in the academy, only a few true core decision-makers, such as Vice Dean Bruce Kline, knew this information.

When Green Anglet first heard this, he was also stunned.

Previously, rumors in the academy had been that Mentor Joyce's lifespan was running out, which was why everyone had so hastily initiated the War of Annihilation. For this, the academy had been in a state of panic for a long time, and a group of indecisive Wizards had left.

Fortunately, Mentor Bruceklin and Mentor Joyce patiently explained the whole story to Green Anglet.

It turned out that all of this was a ploy.

Just a ploy to force out the Formal Wizard successor of the academy.

However, some things were true; even if this ploy failed, Mentor Joyce would leave the Mist Coast within ten years, though he would leave with regret.

Fortunately, heaven sent a Green Anglet, who helped Mentor Joyce complete the task of succession. Yes, Mentor Joyce had also signed a similar contract; he had to ensure that his Botany School would not be lost... “Cough, cough...”

“Silence, silence...”

“Next, please welcome the newly promoted Formal Wizard—Green Anglet, to address us.”

The Wizards below quickly returned to a state of quiet, but their eyes were filled with joy and hope. Everyone stared intently at the excessively young Formal Wizard on the stage.

“Respected academy mentors, dear fellow Wizards...”

“I am Green Anglet, a legitimate White Wizard who started on the wizard's path from scratch at the Plant Heart Academy.

Here, I want to thank all the teachers, friends, and colleagues who have helped me and cared for me. Without your strong support and care, I would not have reached this point today.

But most of all, I want to thank Mentor Joyce. He founded this Wizard Academy, providing us latecomers with an extremely comfortable growth environment, and even safeguarding our growth. Mentor Joyce's painstakingly perfected teaching system was even more crucial to our growth, providing immense assistance.

I have studied Demonized Plants cultivation and interned at the Botanical Garden;

I have also studied Pharmacology and have a small talent in it;

I have even studied the Path of the Knight, awakened my bloodline, and become a Grand Knight;

On the wizard's path, I have walked for 28 years. During this period, I have tried many things and gained much, such as the bond between teachers and students, friends, close comrades... But I have also, either actively or passively, given up many things.

Because, I ultimately embarked on the path of a combat Wizard.

But I do not regret it. This path is my personal choice, but it is even more an inevitability of the era. My success in standing here is due to the academy's full cultivation and a little bit of my personal luck.

But when I stand here, then I will certainly carry the banner of the Plant Heart Academy's legacy, contributing to the inheritance of our Botany School.

Mentor Joyce becoming a Tier 2 Wizard is the glory of the entire academy, but how to pass on this glory is the heavy responsibility on our shoulders.

It is difficult to conquer an empire, and even more difficult to defend it.

But because it is difficult, should we give up easily?

No, the word 'give up' has never been in our Wizard's dictionary. No matter how difficult the road ahead, no matter what kind of blows our academy may suffer, only by being indomitable and always persevering can we see the dawn of hope.

I have decided that we must make good use of the next ten years.

In the next ten years, under the protection of Mentor Joyce, we can develop freely and do our best to expand our living space.

Therefore, the next ten years will be a decade of transformation, and even more, a decade of great development and great leaps forward.

And you, you are the main force of this development, you are the leaders of this new era.

The number one academy of the Mist Coast, let's move towards this goal!

Believe me, by boarding this train of historical development, you will benefit immensely.

Are you ready?”

...“Ready!”

Everyone shouted in unison, ready to welcome a new era.

All the Wizards were full of confidence, looking forward to the future. This was a once-in-a-century dividend of historical development.

The last wave of historical development dividends was in the first forty years after the academy was founded. Many of the academy's high-ranking officials and the four great Wizard families of the academy all benefited from that era and developed.

In this extremely competitive era, ordinary Wizards could only manage to get by even with all their efforts, which led to the emergence of many 'lying flat' Wizards who would go on a mission, risk their lives, and then 'lie flat' for a while upon their return, a typical example of just getting by. As a result, the academy's entertainment industry developed rapidly, and the internal atmosphere was greatly impacted and influenced, with extravagance and hedonism repeatedly forbidden but never stopped... Now, a new wave of dividends has appeared in the academy, and Wizards have also seen a path forward. How could this not drive them crazy?

With this speech alone, Green Anglet gained the support of the vast majority of the academy's Wizards, the kind that came from the heart.

“The celebration will be a three-day holiday. Everyone has worked hard, so please rest well. Three days later, the Academy's Supreme Management Committee—a full meeting—will be convened!”
