The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1232 365: Updating the New Map Again? (Part 4)

Sadly, joyful moments are always fleeting.

She felt time flew by swiftly; before long, Prince Colin concluded his remarks and exited to lingering applause.

Ilana's face bore the remnants of regret, as she buried her head in packing her things to leave the classroom.

However, just as she was swept out of the classroom with the crowd, Prince Colin's assistant suddenly pushed through the throng and ran over to her.

"Miss Ilana! Please wait a moment!"

The assistant's tone was filled with extraordinary respect, completely different from how he addressed other students.

Ilana hesitantly looked at him, inquiring.

"Is there something you need?"

"The thing is, Mr. Colin was impressed with your assignments. He recently received council approval to have his independent laboratory, and he's short-staffed. Thus, he's formally inviting you to be the first assistant in his laboratory."

Perhaps worried that this preparatory student wouldn't grasp the significance, the assistant promptly added another line.

"I suggest you think it over seriously. Apprentices wanting to be his assistant could line up from here to the Tower of Great Sage. And regardless of which Mage Tower you were previously accepted into, he can help change your aspirations, allowing you to continue staying in the Tower of Great Sage after three years. Of course, I'm not saying other Mage Towers are not good, just that the conditions here are definitely superior."

Other Mage Towers are merely single towers, whereas the Tower of Great Sage is a cluster of tall towers, its prominence needs no further mention.

For professors, choosing any academic faction is the same since they have access to top-tier resources. But for regular apprentices, naturally, the higher the tower, the better the shade.

This remark struck Ilana like a lightning bolt, instantly leaving her stunned, her mind blank, unable to believe her ears.

Becoming a mentor's assistant means she would not only receive direct guidance from the mentor but also access rare resources found only in a laboratory!

Let alone a preparatory student, even for a secured assistant, such an opportunity is something countless people dream of!

"Oh my! Ilana!" Finn nearby exclaimed, his face immediately filled with sincere admiration and delight for his friend's good fortune, his face glowing with excitement, "You're amazing!"

"I..." Ilana felt a bit embarrassed, showered in countless envious eyes, she found herself at a loss for words.

Of course.

Not all eyes were filled with admiration; some carried jealous, hateful, or wary expressions.

Like Kurs standing nearby.

Upon hearing the news, his heart sank like the sky was falling.

No matter how he thought of it, as a Mage, he seemed a better choice, yet he couldn't understand why Prince Colin would favor Ilana.

In his view, ruling out all impossibilities, the only explanation left was...

He subconsciously glanced at Ilana's delicate, beautiful face, then recalled Prince Colin's youthful, handsome visage, and a bitter envy surged within him.

Come to think of it, the young Prince probably wasn't truly impressed with her academic abilities; it's likely he fancied something else.

It's human nature to judge others by oneself.

Even so, he knew he couldn't compete with the Prince.

Fortunately, the Prince couldn't stay at the Academic State forever, and this foolish woman would eventually realize that she was just a toy for the Prince; and every toy has its day of weariness.

"Congratulations, Ilana..." Watching the utterly thrilled Ilana and the genuinely joyous Finn, Kurs forced a fake smile on his face while sourly consoling himself in his heart.

Looking at it differently, it might be a good thing.

When his goddess is heartbroken one day, he can conveniently offer a comforting shoulder, then smoothly win her over, shouldn't be a problem.

But despite saying that—

The stomach still aches so much!
