"For my second wish, I want you to keep my family absolutely safe while I'm gone." Freya said solemnly.

　　"Attachment?" Hegel looked at the young girl's eyes and nodded lightly "That's no problem, I will guarantee their safety."

　　"Hmm." Freya nodded her head, she knew that since Hegel had promised, then it was expected that he would also do it.

　　Although with the Baron's strength doing the mercenary group business was considered to be easy, but there was no guarantee that she would encounter any trouble one day, now that she had the old man's secret protection, then she had nothing to worry about.

　　"Since you've finished with your two wishes, let's make a small contract."

　　"Contract?" Freya asked suspiciously "What kind of contract?"

　　"A contract that can guarantee 'equal exchange' between us."

　　Hegel smiled mysteriously and didn't explain too much to her, but softly murmured out some broken sentences that Freya couldn't understand, while the old man's face became slightly solemn.

　　''Poof.''

　　Hegel stretched out his right hand, and after a soft sound, a ball of orange-coloured fire appeared out of thin air with a whirring sound.

　　A strong smell of sulphur filled the entire room.

　　Freya covered her mouth and nose, narrowing her eyes slightly as she watched Hegel casually slap away the fireball, and a roll of parchment that still had a bit of sparks on it was held in his hands.

　　As the parchment scroll appeared, the unknown smell of sulphur quickly dissipated.

　　Hegel spread out that parchment scroll and picked up a quill to write carefully on it.

　　Freya let go of the hand covering her mouth and nose and quietly watched him write.

　　After a long time, Hegel put away the quill, gently blew on that parchment scroll and handed it to Freya.

　　"This a modified version of the Abyssal Blank Contract from my collection, which itself only serves one purpose, and that is to bind both parties to do what they have promised and to serve as confidentiality, how about it, take a look and see if there is anything else missing, if not, sign it."

　　Freya looked down and picked up the parchment scroll, it actually had a hint of a burning sensation when she touched it.

　　What Hegel had written was most of what had been said in the previous conversation with her, but a little more detailed and explicit than that.

　　After a quick glance over it, she realised that there was nothing missing.

　　Hegel had helped her change her life's destiny by granting her two wishes, and she would fulfil the promise she had made to Hegel.

　　"Yet there is nothing wrong."

　　Freya put down the parchment in her hand and picked up the quill just as she was thinking of signing her name, she abruptly raised her head to look at Hegel and said seriously.

　　"One last question, can I ask, have you ever recommended anyone else to the Sorcerer's Academy before me?"

　　Hearing Freya's enquiry, Hegel did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while before slowly saying.

　　"Yes, there was a young man with qualifications before you."

　　"Then he failed on his way to kill?" Freya frowned slightly.

　　"No." Hegel slowed down his breath, his gaze looking towards Freya and said word by word "That young man failed on the path to promotion to sorcerer."

　　"Oh, I see." She was somewhat enlightened in her heart.

　　Then quickly wrote down her name.

　　The moment her feather quill had just left, the parchment steeply emitted a little spark of fire, then disappeared cleanly with a 'snort'.

　　At the same time, Freya felt as if something extra had flickered in her heart.

　　Hegel somewhat did not expect the determination of the young girl, his eyes flickered slightly, suddenly somewhat unable to see through the feeling.

　　"You have already guessed the danger of this path, what is the reason that makes you so determined?"

　　"Life in this world is just a few short decades, I just want to see more of this world to understand more before I die, to see how far I can go." Freya's fifteen year old still somewhat slightly tender face suddenly smiled.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

　　"...... "In the face of these words uttered by the young girl, Hegel froze, then he also suddenly smiled.

　　"Oh, you are only fifteen years old, actually have a kind of see through life and death, if I had your kind of awareness back then, I wouldn't have strayed here, it's really...too bad ah."

　　Freya looked at the old man in front of her, and could vaguely hear the emotion in his tone, while those words behind were clearly addressed to himself.

　　After a long time, Hegel seemed to recover from this emotion.

　　"Well, since our agreement has been reached, there is still a week to go before the beginning of next month, during this period of time, arrange your own things, I still have some rights in terms of the academy, you don't have to worry about being removed if you leave without permission, by the way, let me give you your basic freshman items directly, so that you don't have to trouble yourself when the time comes. "

　　He took out a black pin with the style of a maple leaf and a book as thick as the size of a dictionary from his previous life from a drawer next to the bookshelf.

　　"I only have the apprentice pin and the meditation manual here, I don't have the apprentice robe and other things here, you will receive them in the academy in the future, the pin you remember to bring it with you when you get on the ship, this is something that proves your identity, and the meditation manual you'd better familiarise yourself with as soon as possible, this is something you have to learn to become a sorcerer."

　　"Hmm, got it."

　　Freya received the two things and listened attentively to the old man's careful instructions.

　　Even though the relationship between the two was of a 'transactional' nature, she could still feel Hegel's appreciation and care for her, which seemed like the kind of concern an old man would have for his juniors.

　　"The second thing I want you to do, will be when you officially become a sorcerer the contract will give you the information, there is no deadline on the time, if you finish it, I will also give you something extra as a reward."

　　After handing the things over to Freya, Hegel seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tone was a bit lighter.

　　"The path of a sorcerer is full of hardships you can't imagine, this is the destiny you chose, I'm already old, even though it's just an exchange of equals between us, I still hope that you can go a little further than me on this path."

　　"I will endeavour."

　　Freya nodded gently, she could clearly feel the old man's sincere blessing on him.

　　However, her attention had now shifted to the two items in her hands.

　　The meditation manual, which Hegel said was a must-have for becoming a sorcerer, and she was a little impatient to see what was inside now.

　　Perhaps also knowing Freya's thoughts at the moment, Hegel smiled and said.

　　"If you have time to stay with your family more, if you leave this time, you want to come back probably for a long, long time, now go back and make arrangements."

　　"Hmm!"

　　She got up and stood up.

　　This departure was going to be a different journey, it was time to make some arrangements.

　　Walking out of the library

　　The bright sun shone on Freya's handsome face as she looked up at the school building in the distance.

　　Although the two of them had been talking for a long time in the room, at this time, the first phase of the morning classes inside the academy had just finished.

　　A number of trainees walked out of the teaching building and proceeded to walk towards the classroom needed for another subject.

　　The meditation manual, although she also wanted to read it right now, but this kind of thing linked to the legendary wizard, during the daytime, she was ultimately afraid that it would be a bit striking, and if the kind of phenomenon that occurred last night then the fun would be great.

　　She thought about it and decided that she'd better take the sword art class in the back.

　　She had just finished up her stabbing sword fencing yesterday, so it was a good idea to take these last few days to test it out, just in case.
