Following Benjamin's words, the surrounding mages gradually showed vigilant looks. They looked at the undercover agents standing up and began to notice something suspicious about them.
However, there are still some people who are still holding on and refusing to let go.
"If that's the case... then let's try to use the Holy Light Bullet." An undercover agent spoke bravely and said to the people around him.
"Okay then, please start."
The atmosphere seemed very tense. The undercover agents exchanged glances with each other, and some even showed reluctant glances—obviously, not everyone was determined to break their faith in this situation.
The use of divine magic by mages is an absolute stain on the doctrine. As mages, they came to work undercover, originally hoping to cleanse themselves of their "sins." If they tried magical magic just to be undercover, wouldn't their sins be even deeper? So, from their perspective, it has become a paradox.
Benjamin recited the spell of the Holy Light Bullet and signaled the undercover standing at the front to start casting the spell. But the undercover mage was still hesitating and refused to say it out loud.
In the end, under such a stalemate, these undercover mages couldn't stand it anymore and exposed their flaws.
"Damn you boy, I'll fight you!"
Obviously, not everyone among the undercover agents sent by the church has such excellent psychological quality. Benjamin has opened the water element field, and when the powerful mental pressure comes to their shoulders, after all... there is still one person who cannot hold on.
With a roar, the undercover mage standing in the back row suddenly cast a spell, summoned a string of fireballs with red eyes, and headed straight for Benjamin.
At that moment, the surrounding mages showed understanding, while the other undercover agents had "too bad" expressions on their faces.
Continuous fireballs flew across the spacious classroom, becoming smaller and smaller as they flew. And when they came to Benjamin, there were only a few small sparks left, and Benjamin blew on them casually, and they were extinguished.
"Since the church is going to be an undercover agent, why not send some powerful characters out?" Benjamin said with a yawn.
He looked at the undercover mage who was running away very quickly, and suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped it gently. Several streams of water burst out of the air like spider webs, catching up with the undercover mage and forming a bubble, completely confining him inside.
Everything happened very fast. The undercover agent hadn't even reacted yet and was still using his flying technique. However, the magic-restricting effect of the bubbles was interrupted, causing him to vomit a large mouthful of blood and show a look of astonishment.
The surrounding mages also showed shocked expressions.
"Such a fast casting speed. Did you notice what kind of magic he used? Why can't I see it?"
"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the rune meditation law recently developed by the Magic Academy. I heard that if you learn that law, you can cast spells without spells..."
For a moment, the mages couldn't help but started talking quietly. The remaining undercover mages looked desperate.
"What else do you have to say now?" Benjamin stared at them coldly, "Stop making excuses. Everyone present noticed your eye contact just now. Don't tell me that you don't recognize him now."
"You... you're all going to hell."
Benjamin smiled: "Don't bother, you should go ahead and invite me."
In this way, the remaining undercover agents had no room for resistance. He and other mages subdued them, locked them with magic-forbidden chains, and locked them in the newly built cells in the town. After that, each of them went through a special torture session by Benjamin, and in the end, they vomited out everything they knew.
Benjamin obtained some information about the church from them, and also learned about several places in the Horli Kingdom that specialized in training undercover mages. I'm afraid I'll have to go there if I have a chance in the future.
Afterwards, these dozen undercover mages were executed in public in the square of Akademi town to keep the people vigilant.
This incident also spread quickly under Benjamin's instruction, and soon everyone in the Three Kingdoms knew about it. It is a reminder to all mages that the church has not been defeated, those people have been continuing their actions, and no one should let down their guard.
Therefore, the discussion about the church has become a hot topic among mages for a while. Everyone's vigilance has increased. This is Benjamin's intention to uncover the undercover agent in full view of the public.
Of course, his reputation has also improved a lot because of this incident.
The recruitment of branch teachers is still going on. Benjamin doesn’t know if the church will send people here, but they will be teachers! No one with bad intentions should be allowed to come into contact with those good prospects who have just entered the magic door. Even if a piece of rat shit comes in, it may ruin the lives of many apprentices.
Therefore, Benjamin basically spent his time on this. Everyone has passed the test of an interview panel composed of teachers from the college, and has to undergo double review by him and the system before he can truly become a teacher in the branch.
In addition, there were all the chores involved in establishing a branch and teacher training... Benjamin was too embarrassed to leave everything to others, so he had to help himself to relieve the pressure of the shortage of manpower.
In fact, this is also a process of establishing prestige in the minds of new mage.
"I heard that the dean of the Magic Academy is young and energetic. I didn't expect that he would actually teach us. He is indeed not like what the rumors said."
"However, I saw him once the other day. His strength is really no worse than the rumors..."
Benjamin has already enjoyed quite a terrifying reputation and status. However, when the impression falls on every mage's mind, most of it is still mysterious and distant. Only by personally participating in various things can this sense of distance gradually disappear.
In the busyness, two months passed by in a blink of an eye. The branch campuses are finally almost established, standing near the capitals of three countries, respectively under the supervision of each country. The midterm exam of the Magic Academy has just ended. All students have basically passed the apprenticeship threshold and officially become mages. They have also begun to practice using the rules of rune meditation.
In fact, in the past few months, the rules of rune meditation have been popularized in the academy.
The people in the rune research team have been experimenting for a long time and determined that this law, apart from being "scientific", does not have too many side effects and can be implemented normally. And they also corrected some details in the meditation process to improve efficiency. It can be said that the rules of rune meditation have established a preliminary system.
As a result, a main course was naturally added to the curriculum for the next class of students.
This year's students are very grateful for this.
As for Benjamin, he took a break after helping to complete the construction of the branch, and then went to find his two overseas siblings who stayed in Akademi.
"Have you gotten used to living in the town during this time?"
In a small house assigned to the two of them, Benjamin glanced around casually.
"It's okay." The girl took out the jug and poured him a glass of ale calmly. She was obviously used to the life here. "Master Mage, I have been practicing my mind skills very hard. When do you plan to bring him with me?" Shall we go back for revenge?”
"Oh? Didn't you say you didn't want to go back before? Why did you change your mind now?"
"During this period, we have thought about a lot of things clearly." The girl and the boy looked at each other and said, "This place... is really different from the island. The people here are very nice and treat us very well. We hope You can live here forever, but...the bodies of your parents are still on the island."
Benjamin nodded and said, "Aren't you afraid of the elders on the island?"
The two of them shook their heads in unison.
"Yes, with this determination, it is not in vain for me to intercede with the king to keep you." Benjamin smiled and said, "However, it is not yet time to explore overseas. I came to you today because I have New tasks will be entrusted to you."
When the two heard this, they looked puzzled.
"What mission?"
"Be a teacher of telekinesis for others."
