Chapter 156: Cousin

Chapter 156: Cousin

Emerging from the divine tower academy, Sein felt irritation coursing through him as his experiment was abruptly disrupted.

Surprisingly, Eileen, who was the cause of the disruption, seemed equally vexed.

“What’s going on? I sent you multiple messages but you never bothered to reply! I had to use my authority as an academy instructor to forcibly activate your crystal ball just to get through to you,” she exclaimed, crossing her arms and shooting a glare at Sein, who had finally made an appearance.

Eileen had been waiting for Sein for almost the entire morning.

After a brief pause, Sein replied, “Oh... I was in the middle of an experiment.”

“So you deactivated your crystal ball?” Eileen inquired.

“Yes...” Sein nodded.

Eileen could not help but roll her eyes at his response.

Sein had modified his crystal ball long ago, along with the badge of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.

Perhaps this tendency stemmed from his habits as an alchemist.

Although he was rarely contacted, Sein detested sudden interruptions during his experiments or studies. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Even before delving into his research on modifying the Solar Eye spell, Sein had silenced his crystal ball.

Despite all these precautions, he had not expected Eileen to be able to activate his crystal ball using the authority granted to academy tutors.

He should have known better since the crystal ball was distributed from the academy during his enrollment.

In comparison to the basic crystal ball Zorro had crafted for him before, the crystal ball issued by the academy was of superior quality and had functionality.

Over the years, Sein had grown accustomed to using the crystal ball he received from the divine tower.

Even with his initial modifications, Sein believed that the crystal ball might conceal undiscovered features, given its origin as an item crafted by the Divine Tower Academy.

Determined to avoid future interruptions, Sein planned to dismantle and reassemble the crystal ball upon his return.

Although Eileen was impressed by Sein’s ability to modify his crystal ball, she remained focused on the purpose of summoning him.

“Looks like you’re cousins. I’ll be leaving then!” Eileen shook her head and was ready to depart.

Before she could take a step, Sein called out to her.

“Master Eileen, I have a favor to ask,” Sein hurriedly interjected.

“What is it?” Eileen asked, seemingly exasperated.

“Uh... Could you be her referral to divine tower academy, please?” Sein gestured toward Selina.

At this moment, Selina’s face displayed a mix of joy, longing, apprehension, and excitement.

She was, in fact, a very shy person and not adept at dealing with others.

Even within her own family, she seldom initiated conversations.

Selina was actually urged by the elders in her family to seek Sein’s assistance, but she lacked the courage to directly request her cousin for help in gaining admission to the divine tower academy.

To her surprise, Sein himself brought up the topic, even going as far as asking a full-fledged mage for assistance.

Selina cast a thankful glance at Sein while anxiously awaiting Eileen’s response, fearing rejection.

Eileen proved to be a person who was easy to talk to, and she also recognized the connection between Sein and Jovian, the cohort leader.

Despite her annoyance, she sighed and begrudgingly said, “You really know how to trouble me. Come with me!”

Eileen led the way toward the deeper part of divine tower academy, with Sein following closely behind.

Meanwhile, Selina found herself lost in thought for a while, only snapping back to reality after Sein and Eileen had walked a distance. She hurriedly caught up with them.

The passage leading from outside into the Divine Tower remained the same familiar verdant pathway.

Selina, captivated by the scenic beauty, marveled at the surroundings, including the towering verdant divine tower at the heart of the academy.

Notably, Selina and Sein shared some similar features.

Although their eye colors differed, their eye shapes were remarkably similar, and both had a very fair complexion.
