The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1200 - 358: Hector Pursues the Prince in the Snow

On the day of the interview, the atmosphere at the border examination site of the Academic State was even more tense than during the written test.

Tens of soundproof tents, enchanted with magic, stood neatly on the snowy field like small white mountains.

A thousand candidates who had passed the written exam formed long lines outside the tents, waiting anxiously for the moment that would decide their ultimate fate.

Just when everyone assumed that today's interview would be routinely conducted by ordinary mentors of the Academic State, an overwhelming wave of magic power suddenly descended from the sky.

The apprentices and assistants standing in the camp widened their eyes, almost unable to believe what they were seeing!

"P-Professor Hector?!"

"What's he doing here?!"

Professor Hector Rain from the Tower of Great Sage had personally come from the heart of the Academic State to the interview site!

Could it be that even someone as prestigious as him needs to recruit fresh blood?!

The faces of the apprentices and even the assistants showed expressions of envy, as they bowed respectfully to the esteemed mage, filled with a sense of awe.

What kind of genius could attract the personal attention of this elusive figure?

No—

They were not entirely clueless either.

They heard that there was a perfect score paper in the examination, which had been given perfect marks by all three assistants responsible for grading.

It seems this esteemed figure is here for that lucky individual!

While everyone was filled with envy and jealousy, they soon realized that this was only the beginning.

No sooner had Professor Hector arrived, the space behind him flickered with a gentle white light, and Professor Boris Kru from the Holy Power School emerged slowly from it.

At the same time, on the other side, arcs of electricity flashed through the air, tearing a rift open from nowhere!

Professor Leo Sterling from the Elemental School also arrived in person through the mage tower's teleportation array, with an amused smile on his face.

The appearance of these three top-tier professors, usually only heard of in legends, at this small border interview site left all the assistants speechless with shock.

Normally, these esteemed figures would only show up at the opening ceremony, leaving the 'trivial matter' of interviews to the understaffed mentors, but today is truly extraordinary!

The three professors exchanged knowing glances, as if invisible sparks were flying in the air.

Professor Leo was the first to break the silence, smiling as he said to Hector, "Hector, what a coincidence, I thought you were busy researching your 'Void Realm', how do you have time to come here?"

"It must be some devout soul drawn to the Holy Light that caught everyone's attention," Professor Boris added with a knowing smile.

Hector snorted coldly, uninterested in further wordplay, and straightforwardly said, "We're all here for the same person. That perfect scoring apprentice named Marco Gage, his theories align perfectly with the principles of the Tower of Great Sage, he must be trained by us."

Professor Leo's smile remained unchanged as he spoke softly.

"Then let's see what each of us can offer."

Although he said this, doubts crept into his heart.

In terms of Void Realm resources, the Elemental Tower couldn't compete with the Tower of Great Sage. He only had one card to play, to promise that candidate a decent future.

The Aus Empire highly values the Elemental Tower, after all, their 'damage' output is the highest and most consistent.

He hoped the young man came from a poor family.

Leo silently prayed in his heart, while instructing an assistant standing aside.

"Where's Marco Gage? I... and my old friends want to have a chat with him."

Assistant Giselle, seeing this, quickly stepped forward respectfully and said, "Honorable Professors, please wait a moment, I will send someone to find that candidate right away!"

Meanwhile, in the distant crowd, the magic apprentice Minos, who was responsible for this swap plan, felt his brain go blank the moment he heard Hector personally mention the name "Marco Gage", frightened out of his wits.

He was probably the only mage present who knew the real "value" of that name.

Perfect score? Marco Gage? That guy?!

This... this is impossible!

It was true that he had chosen the exam paper, but he couldn't believe that he had just so happened to draw the perfect scoring paper!

Minos's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.

His gaze drifted to his senior, who seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, only envying that guy named Marco Gage.

Swapping scrolls for apprentices was a well-organized industry, where each person involved had limited tasks. For instance, his senior was only responsible for covering, while he was responsible for the actual swapping and taking the money.

No one would ask how much he received, nor would he know how much he got, or which master mage owned that storage ring for collecting money.

And this meant that if something went wrong for him, the most that could happen would be implicating his senior, and as long as he or his senior perished, the matter would disappear without a trace like a severed line.

Minos realized that things had completely spiraled out of control, and he couldn't even begin to imagine the terrifying outcome that awaited him once the lie was exposed.

All but defeated, he slowly withdrew into the crowd, not even daring to retrieve his belongings from the camp, and fled towards the direction of the Rhode Kingdom with all his might, never looking back.
