…
The person who had just spoken rudely was obviously the Royal Holy Mage in front of them, Andrew Haiwei, who was also an old acquaintance of many magicians present.
In the blink of an eye, the Royal Holy Mage had flown to the front of the podium and stepped down gracefully from the back of the dragon eagle.
For a moment, the entire rostrum fell inexplicably quiet.
The expressions of many magicians became somewhat subtle, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at President Wood's expression.
In silence, President Wood slowly stood up. The warm smile that was always on his face had disappeared, and a complicated expression appeared instead: "Long time no see, Junior Brother."
"Don't. I don't deserve to be called 'Junior Brother'." Royal Holy Mage Andrew glanced at him with a fake smile, not giving the president of the Magicians Association any face. "I am here today on behalf of the Royal Mage Corps of the Empire of Light. President, please address me as 'Your Excellency'."
President Wood sighed and said, "Okay. Your Excellency, please take a seat."
"Hmph~"
Andrew straightened his collar, turned around and sat down in the seat reserved for the Royal Mage Corps.
The royal magicians who came with him sat down behind him. Soon, the servants brought coffee and desserts, and then quietly left.
There was a strange atmosphere in the air.
The magicians of the Magicians Association looked at President Wood, then at the Royal Saint Mage Andrew, and all shut their mouths silently. No one dared to speak at this time and bring bad luck.
The magicians in charge of controlling the water curtain camera had a bad feeling and tacitly shifted their view away from the podium.
"I just took a look at the list of contestants and found that there are swordsmen and bards among them, and even a level 1 bard has signed up." Royal Holy Mage Andrew was in no mood to drink coffee. Not long after he sat down, he sneered and started to attack. "I know that the magic academy has always been unscrupulous and accepts all kinds of people, but I didn't expect that they have no rules to this extent. The Truth Conference is a place to explore the truth. What qualifications does a level 1 bard have to participate?"
"Learning and studying magic theory is not exclusive to magicians. Even if you are not a magician, as long as you are willing to participate in the Truth Conference and explore the mysteries of truth, our Magicians Association welcomes you." President Wood didn't care and looked open-minded.
As he spoke, he glanced at the magicians behind him, smiled slightly, and continued: "As for the Magic Academy, its development over the years is obvious to all. In the past ten years, more than a thousand new generation magicians have been trained, and this year there are 486 new magic apprentices. The Magic Academy has always been working hard to expand the lineage of magicians. This is also the lifelong wish of the instructor."
It would have been fine if President Wood didn't mention "mentor". When Andrew heard these two words, his face suddenly turned dark, and he almost lost his temper and crushed the teacup in his hand.
The most embarrassing and incomprehensible thing in his life was that his mentor did not choose him, but chose Wood as the president of the Magicians Association. Obviously, he had better talent and stronger strength!
"Hmph~"
He snorted coldly: "What's the use of having more people? The Hall of Truth is not open to everyone. Only the most agile young eagles have the possibility of conquering the sky."
