Those who do not awaken even in the face of death, will never change.

Elsewhere.

Jasmine’s eyes fixedly stared at Link, asking, “Why did you take such a risk?”

Link knew what Jasmine was asking.

Even though the forces chasing them had been thrown into momentary confusion because of Isko’s action, it was indeed a good chance for a counterattack.

But Link, reckless in his bravery, jumped out of the trenches to launch an assault.

This battle, from the beginning, did not belong to them.

There was no need to risk their lives in a battle that wasn’t theirs.

“Because there are countless more difficult battles waiting for us.”

Responding to Jasmine’s gaze, Link gave his explanation, “When I first entered the academy, I wanted to stay low-key and accumulate power before doing anything else.

But the rules and regulations of the academy are ‘forcing’ us to show our abilities.

In order to get resources, to grow better and faster, I half willingly and half reluctantly changed my style.

Ever since I entered this world, I’ve been wondering why the academy named this inter-district competition ‘Pioneering the Different World’.

Even if all seven of the side tasks were to guide us to understand, investigate, and study the ecology of this world.

But in a world without indigenous inhabitants, a world on the brink of extinction, what is there to pioneer?”

Then I understood.

What the academy wanted us to pioneer was not this world, but our hearts after we entered this world.

And what the academy wants, will certainly be achieved!”

Pausing a moment, Link asked Jasmine meaningfully, “Would you sacrifice the lives of countless creatures in this world for your own interests?”

Jasmine opened her mouth, intending to say “Yes”.

But just as her words were about to leave her lips, she suddenly thought of the murals in the secret tunnel.

The high gods of this world also neglected the lives of thousands, and what was their outcome?

She swallowed back her words and began to deeply contemplate the implications of Link’s question.

After a while, considering that this is the academy’s inter-district competition, Jasmine linked Link’s words with the academy’s main and side tasks and began to ponder.

Suddenly, Jasmine’s eyes lighted up.

She figured it out!

Meeting Link’s expectant gaze, Jasmine replied softly but firmly, “I can!”

The true nature of a Wizard is coldness and rationality.

If saving this alien world requires significant sacrifices of oneself, why save it?

If destroying this alien world brings no benefits to oneself, why destroy it?

All things in the universe revolve around me.

One should not be constrained by so-called camps and stances.

Perhaps this is one of the deep meanings behind the academy arranging this inter-district competition.

To lay down the mental foundation for wizard apprentices to become qualified wizards.

Since this is the case, from the small we can see the big.

For the academy, the principle of ‘me first’ naturally means that the benefits of the academy come first.

What Link said about countless more challenging battles waiting for them, is not difficult to understand.

The development and growth of an academy unavoidably involves competition.

Competition will inevitably bring conflict.

To resolve the conflict, there are only two ways, negotiation or war.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, countless wars of the academy are waiting for Link, Jasmine, the Brotherhood Group, the Social Phobia Group, and everybody else.

Shouldn’t they take advantage of the academy’s protection and accumulate more war experience now,

instead of waiting till they find themselves on a battlefield of life and death to start learning?

“Still, it was too risky.”

Even though she had figured all of this out, Jasmine still couldn’t help but voice her complaint, “Promise me there won’t be a next time!”

“Hmm.”

Link nodded, it was unclear whether he had really understood.

Wondering if he would change for Jasmine..
