SORCERER: I WANT TO BE AN ACADEMIC PRODIGY

Chapter 467: Chapter 466 Another Identity

Hotter’s gaze, however, fell on Morris, pondering over some key elements.

“Boss, I get it. I’ll leave right now,” Morris immediately understood and quickly stood up.

“Wait, you don’t have to leave.”

“Boss, I’d better go.”

“I’ve already said there’s no need; you’ve heard quite a bit already.”

He tried to slip away, but Hotter wouldn’t let him have his wish, so Morris had to reluctantly stay, looking downcast.

…

Of course, that might not have been what he truly thought. After all, he was never a person who could sit still and obey orders – how could such a person not have curiosity? It was just a bit of pretense verbally.

“Morris, listen, you are now officially a member of Five Leaves Spear,” Hotter said with a solemn expression.

“What spear?” Morris was completely confused.

“Archibald’s Spear.” Ivan offered a helpful reminder.

“I bid you farewell,” Morris said, but his feet made no move to leave.

Indeed, as boss Hotter said, having heard so many private matters, it wouldn’t be right to leave so easily; Morris was certainly aware of the rules.

As for Archibald’s Spear, he had naturally heard of it, a group of self-important people, very arrogant.

He had never imagined that his own boss, Sorcerer Ivan, and Tan Niya were all members of it; these people had kept it well hidden, while he himself had naively pranced around cluelessly.

At this moment, Morris suddenly understood quite a few things.

Hotter wasn’t paying attention to Morris but was looking at Tan Niya with an inquiring look. Tan Niya nodded slightly at him, and then he declared:

“Ivan, let me formally introduce you to another identity of Miss Tan Niya.”

“The founder of Five Leaves Spear and its acting ‘Leaf Leader’, as well as the provider of the Meditation Method ‘String Control Sacred Heart’, the secret technique ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’, and the sponsor of Prophet’s Treasure Tome, Book of Enlightenment, and Book of Leaf Sift, and—”

Upon hearing a string of introductions from Hotter, Ivan was completely stunned.

This was entirely beyond his expectations; Five Leaves Spear was actually founded by Tan Niya. No wonder Five Leaves Spear was a newly established organization, with young founders; such a force would indeed be fresh.

Being the pearl in the palm of the Fitzgerald family, Tan Niya indeed had access to terrifying resources previously; even now, she was clearly beyond comparison to an ordinary sorcerer.

Thinking about it, her identity did seem fitting, and she did have the resources and capability to establish such a vigorous power.

“This time you targeted me, it wouldn’t be because of using the Prophet’s Power to foresee it, would it?” Ivan suddenly raised another question.

“Half and half. You are protected by the fortune of Witchcraft, so the effect of the Prophetic Secret Skill is not very ideal. It serves as a reference,” Tan Niya admitted truthfully.

“Ivan, so that means you believe Tan Niya is the acting Leaf Leader,” Hotter changed the subject.

“This kind of thing is easy to expose. I have no reason not to believe it,” Ivan didn’t pester over it, his mind was quite in turmoil now.

Looking back on his own past experiences, from Moon Pincer Peninsula to the Chanay Continent, from a Level 1 Sorcerer to a Level 3 Sorcerer, his reliance on the power of Five Leaves Spear was not few, saying ‘countless’ would not be an exaggeration.

He must acknowledge such enormous favor.

Now, knowing the predicament of ‘the great sponsor’ Tan Niya, he truly couldn’t just ignore it.

Life is unpredictable!

Although he said so, Tan Niya next took out a copy of the Book of Enlightenment, flipped it open, and gestured to them. The contents inside were nearly the same, a certain cryptic portion marked the identity—acting Leaf Leader.

Moreover, the Prophet’s marks on it were more than on other Books of Enlightenment, containing an extremely high standard of the Prophet’s Power.

“Now, no more excuses,” Hotter posed with an air of having everything under control; he knew Ivan’s character well, a person who was grateful.

“We should think long-term,” Ivan replied, unable to utter words of refusal.

“No problem, let’s discuss this thoroughly, speak freely, come up with any ideas you have. Morris, you too,” Hotter said.

“Boss, not to hide it from you, I really don’t have any ideas,” Morris said.

Seeing his own subordinate so indecisive, Hotter really couldn’t bear to watch and decided to just let him be a listener.

Since they were going to think long-term, they needed to get a clear understanding of the specific situation over at the Fitzgeralds, as well as Tan Niya’s original plans, and the reasoning behind her actions.

Afterward, Tan Niya laid out her whole plan thoroughly. She was almost at the point of breaking the pot out of desperation; there was no longer anything to hide.

To show sincerity, she even disclosed the other alternatives she had once considered.

Ivan then realized that the secret technique ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’ was actually something Tan Niya had unearthed in her search for a way out, having spent a vast amount of resources and effort. The most basic element of the secret technique involved Soul Power, which had no effect on her herself.

The blow hit her hard, and in her disheartened state, she carelessly handed it over to the Five Leaves Spear she had founded.

A secret technique as profound and distinctive as ‘One Body Multiple Manifestations’ falling into the hands of a group of people could be considered a fortunate coincidence, yet the impact it created was not something that could be explained in a few words.

Because of this alone, there were many who were beneficiaries of Tan Niya’s favor, most of whom were talented sorcerers.

However, it seemed Tan Niya was accustomed to looking ahead; she apparently didn’t pay too much attention to Five Leaves Spear and had never thought of using the power of Five Leaves Spear to solve problems. Deep down, she didn’t believe that Five Leaves Spear could resolve her own issues.

Ivan didn’t know what to say about this.

Perhaps some elements in there had not been cleared up, but now was not the time to discuss this.

“Tanaya, never speak of fleeing to an alien realm again. With me, with Ivan, and the others of the Five Leaves Spear, in conclusion, everyone will do their best to help you, to assist you in escaping your predicament and re-embarking on the glorious path,”

Hotter timely consoled her with a sentence, unable to bear seeing Tanaya sorrowful and dispirited, and after speaking, he gave Ivan a meaningful glance.

“Mm-hmm, I wasn’t speaking nonsense earlier—the Knight’s Path really has a great chance to help you. You might not know, but the Knight’s Path isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. Its apparent source is the Centaur race, but it actually isn’t so; the Centaurs were merely the first to discover the legacy,”

Ivan didn’t let him down and immediately drew their attention to himself.

“Please elaborate.”

“The true source comes from the place we previously explored.”

“You mean the Great Sky River? No, could it be the Star Realm River?”

“Exactly, since we’re all our own people, I won’t hide it from you. The origin of the Knight’s Path comes from a supremely powerful being known as the ‘Justice Star Ancestor’, whom the creatures of the Star Realm usually revere as the ‘Justice Ancestor God’.

This Ancestor God spent his whole life embodying the path of justice and is widely known in the Star Realm River. His legacy still circulates to this day—”

Upon hearing Ivan’s statement about the legacy, everyone present showed a look of shock.

It was completely unexpected that the seemingly inconspicuous Knight’s Path had such impressive origins, being a legacy that could reach the six-rank throne.

Everyone present held no ordinary status; they were all too aware that what the sorcerer world now lacked the most was a powerful figure of the six-rank throne level, a matter that could be said to affect the rise and fall of the entire sorcerer world.

“Sorcerer Ivan, I apologize for my earlier contempt,”

Tanaya was the first to recover from her shock and stood up to bow respectfully.

At this point, she wholly believed the previous words. The other party had indeed presented an effective plan, a path to the light, even without knowing her other identity.

The depth of what was offered was moving.

“I feel the same,” added Hotter.

“That’s not what I meant,” Ivan quickly waved his hands.

“Tsk, tsk. You got me interested now, Ivan,” Morris joked.

He truly had a knack for lightening the mood with his jests. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed considerably. Truth be told, his words were half-serious, but nobody took them seriously.

“You’ve got no chance.”

“Seriously?”

“That legacy has been too long in the Danaila World, even before our sorcerers rose to power. I estimate it has endured for at least six thousand years. That it has lasted until today is no easy feat. Now, there’s only one or two chances left for the inheritance, and that’s wishful thinking that it’s two.”

Ivan bluntly quashed his hope and gave a detailed explanation.

Morris felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

Mara discreetly tugged at Tanaya’s arm, hoping she would secure the matter so she could soon receive the inheritance and fundamentally break free from her current predicament.

“I owe you for this gesture,” said Tanaya sincerely.

“No problem,” responded Ivan.

“According to you, I should cultivate the Knight Breathing Method to the pinnacle of the Flying Knight stage and fully comprehend the internal beliefs of the Knight’s Path to possibly receive the legacy of the Justice Star Ancestor.”

“Precisely, and in this regard, I will provide the necessary assistance.”

“I’m extremely grateful.”

The two communicated concisely, and in just a few words, they had settled the matter.

However, they still faced a challenging issue—that of the mounting pressure from the internal ranks of the Fitzgerald Family. This problem seemed simple, but in actuality, it could be easily resolved by influencing a key figure.

That key person was the number one figure in the sorcerer world—’King of the Long Sky’ Galif Fitzgerald.

The man Tanaya called the ‘Wind Ancestor’.

“The Wind Ancestor placed great expectations on me very early on, providing me with status, resources, and fame. However, I have utterly let down the Wind Ancestor’s affection, and now I really can’t face going to see him,” expressed Tanaya.

“In recent years, the sorcerer world has grown increasingly turbulent, and Lord Galif is inundated with affairs; every action he takes influences the development of the entire sorcerer world. Tanaya doesn’t want to put her personal issues before public duty, nor does she want to trouble that gentleman with her problems,”

Hotter added from the side.

Having listened to both of their words, Ivan just felt ache in his cheeks and didn’t want to speak any further.

He understood the true meaning behind their words—after all, turning a private affair into a public one would legitimize the matter. This would leave others unable to criticize and not bring any adverse effects to the King of the Long Sky.

There really was a lack of nothing in their strategy, taking everything into consideration!

If only they hadn’t set their plan squarely on him, it would have been perfect.

Unfortunately, they had blatantly placed all their hopes on him; it was a scheme that put him in an inescapable pit—a plan that was outright using him as a scapegoat.

“Let Ivan make a grand move, then, as a way of claiming credit, get in touch with Lord Galif, and in passing, mention the thought of changing the betrothed.

Developing feelings through joint research is as normal as it gets. Thinking about it carefully, it’s quite romantic and fits our sorcerers’ style.

Miss Tanaya, that’s quite the plan you have there!”

Morris, lagging in realization, understood the intricacies of the scheme and couldn’t help but express his admiration.
