Chapter 36 The Asuka School and the Twin Helix School
First, there's the Asuka School.
This is the wizarding school that Loon knew about first.
—It appears in the old man's notes.
He is a link in the old man's "wizard apprentice profit chain," and also an enemy that has always existed in Loon's imagination, making Loon extremely wary.
According to the old man's notes, the Asuka School and the school corresponding to the Spiral Tree of Life meditation practiced by Loon are antagonistic.
Moreover, the degree of hostility between the two sides is quite profound, to the point that even newly initiated apprentices of the other school are offered bounties. It can be described as a fight to the death, to the point that they want to completely sever the other's lineage.
However, according to the old man's diary, he came from a wizarding academy.
That thing only exists in the Central Continent—which shows that although the old thing is of inferior quality and insidious and vicious, its origins are not simple.
As for the Asuka School, which deals with the old man...
According to the Scarlet Wizard, the Bird School was not a good thing either, and their style was exceptionally domineering and barbaric.
The wizards of this school considered themselves to be high-flying birds, while other living beings were merely insects on the ground, to be hunted and eaten at their mercy.
In terms of ruthlessness and viciousness, it ranks among the top in many schools of thought.
It is said that the practice of capturing weak wizards, imprisoning them, and forcing them to use their mental power to create magic stone fragments was first started by the Bird School.
Not to mention wild wizards, even wizards from other schools have been secretly captured by the Flying Bird School.
—The vast majority of the wizards who traveled out of this school were dark wizards!
This is why wild wizards are somewhat timid when facing wizards from the Flying Bird School.
When the Bird School was mentioned, the Scarlet Wizard repeatedly reminded Loon to stay away from the Bird School wizards, never to believe what they said, and never to be caught by them.
Despite their notoriety, they were never attacked by the masses to the point of having their lineage cut off. Instead, they were able to travel around openly, carrying the banner of the Asuka School.
This is certainly because the wizards lacked clear trust in each other and found it difficult to cooperate sincerely to take action against the Bird School.
However, the Asuka School's formidable strength is also beyond doubt.
At the same time, the enlightenment and pragmatism of the Asuka School are unmatched by other schools of thought.
Although he was known for looking down on wild wizards, once a wild wizard became a third-class wizard apprentice and wanted to join a certain school, he could go to the Central Continent through the school's guidance.
So following the path of the Asuka School is the 'simplest' way. As long as you complete a task for them and leave your 'legacy' in the school, you can be directly accepted by the Asuka School.
Because this school of thought accepted the most wild sorcerers, the knowledge and skills passed down within it are incredibly complex.
If there is one school of thought in this plane that is most likely to establish a wizarding academy, then without a doubt it is the Bird School.
In short, the Asuka School is a complex, evil, ruthless, and extremely powerful school that no one wants to provoke. It is a unique existence in this plane, which is quite consistent with the image revealed in the old man's diary.
Of all the schools of thought besides the Asuka School, the one that Loen was most interested in was the Twin Helix School.
This is a school that was once an enemy of the Asuka School—at the height of the Twin Helix School's glory, they allied with other schools, almost to the point of disrupting the Asuka School's legacy.
Ultimately, however, the Bird School received more help from wild wizards and, with their numerical advantage, broke the alliance of the Twin Helix School.
The Twin Helix School, which was capable of contacting other schools and forming alliances with many schools, also suffered a brutal crushing defeat at the hands of the Asuka School.
After that, the Twin Helix School went into hiding, its whereabouts and lineage becoming secretive.
Even now, the wizards of the Flying Bird School are extremely concerned about any trace of the Twin Helix School. If any trace of the Twin Helix School appears anywhere, it won't be long before wizards from the Flying Bird School come to investigate and cleanse the area. They would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
When the Twin Helix School first went into hiding, many wizards volunteered to become henchmen of the Flying Bird School, searching everywhere for traces of the Twin Helix School. Until more than a hundred years ago, a wizard from the Twin Helix School, when he was captured, taught the school's meditation method to the wizards who reported him, thus allowing those wizards to also become tainted by the Twin Helix School's aura.
As a result, those wizards who reported the incident were also purged by the Asuka School.
After that, no one was willing to get involved in the feud between the Bird School and the Twin Helix School anymore—even if someone discovered a wizard from the Twin Helix School, they would pretend not to see it, lest things escalate and they be unable to prove their innocence, and ultimately be wiped out by the wizards of the Bird School...
"Thunder Wizard, do you think it's possible for me to use the Flying Bird School's route to reach the Central Continent?" Crimson Wizard wondered.
—Of all the wizarding schools, the relationship with the Bird School is the easiest to 'borrow'.
"As the Scarlet Wizard said, the Bird School has a habit of capturing other wizard apprentices as slaves and forcing them to make magic stone fragments."
"So, do you think those wizards who were guided to the Central Continent by the Bird School retained their freedom after arriving there, or were they captured and enslaved by the Bird School on the Central Continent?"
Luo Ang spoke in a low voice, uttering an extremely terrifying possibility in an extremely light and airy manner.
The Flying Bird School was willing to accept third-class wizard apprentices and guide them to the Central Continent—not because they were kind.
Rather, it's because those who can become third-class wizard apprentices in this plane possess both talent and skill.
Even within this plane of existence, it wouldn't be an easy task for the members of the Flying Bird School to deal with a third-class wizard apprentice.
Therefore, they could only show a state of tolerance and acceptance in front of third-class wizard apprentices.
But what happens when we get to the Central Continent?
A third-class wizard apprentice is just a wizard apprentice!
What are they compared to fourth-class apprentices or even formal wizards in the Central Continent?
What is a school of thought?
A consistent style is what defines a school of thought.
Loon didn't believe that the ruthless Flying Bird School in this world would suddenly become benevolent after arriving in the Central Continent, treating and accepting those wild wizards who came halfway as their own apprentices.
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Hearing Loon's words, the Crimson Wizard couldn't help but feel a chill of shock.
Even the wizarding school needs to be replenished with new blood.
"Otherwise, a school of wizardry will quickly decay and decline."
"Those who can become third-class wizard apprentices in a lower plane like ours must have extremely high talent."
"Shouldn't this be the best candidate to recruit new talent?"
The Crimson Wizard hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is what the Bird School tells the outside world when they accept those third-class wizard apprentices."
A very convincing argument.
"Perhaps that's the case."
"But unless it really comes down to having no other choice."
"Otherwise, I would never have used the guidance of the Flying Bird School to go to the Central Continent." Luo Ang lowered his gaze.
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Wizard fell silent.
