Three days later.

　　The west gate of the Elgrim Witch Academy.

　　In front of the huge black iron gate, a young girl wearing grey robes was standing there quietly.

　　She carried a small black parcel on her back, an ordinary cross longsword dangled from her waist, and two delicate daggers were stuck on each side of the black boots on her feet.

　　The early morning breeze blew the young girl's blonde hair, and the cool touch caused her spirit to jolt slightly.

　　Under the blowing of the wind, one could vaguely see that what the young girl was wearing inside her grey robe was a brown leather armour, only that compared to ordinary leather armour, the top of this leather armour was engraved with some strange illustrations, and a hint of faint icy coldness emanated from it.

　　This girl was Freya who had been waiting here for a long time according to the message given by Rand.

　　Originally, the time given by Rand was seven o'clock in the morning, but in order to appear more solemn, so Freya deliberately came half an hour earlier.

　　At this time, the sun had slowly risen in the distance, and the cool breath of the morning also slowly faded away while the sun was rising.

　　The surrounding woods were blown by the wind with a rustling sound.

　　Freya looked up at the clock on the huge black spire inside the academy, which was already gradually pointing to the seven o'clock position.

　　And in the direction of the academy, two black carriages slowly drove over from there.

　　The ones driving the carriages were not humans, but the academy's rabbit guardians, the huge rabbit bodies grasping the reins of the carriages in a decent manner, although they were doing the same skilful manoeuvres as the humans, how could they look at it, they felt a bit absurd.

　　Soon, the carriage drove in front of Freya.

　　Four figures wearing grey robes came down from the carriage, and one of them was Rand whom Freya was familiar with.

　　Perhaps not expecting Freya to have arrived, Rand blinked his eyes and then revealed a gentle smile and said.

　　"Didn't I tell you seven o'clock, why did you come so early?"

　　"Oh, I was just afraid of being late. And I've only just arrived." Freya said with a somewhat respectful attitude.

　　"Is that so?" Rand swept his eyes at Freya's slightly damp hair stained by the morning dew, and although he knew that what she said was false but didn't break it down, he just waved his hand to greet the other three apprentices who came down from the car. Then smiled at Freya.

　　"Oh, last time you left in such a hurry, I wanted to introduce my friends to you, but now it seems it's not too late." Rand pointed to the three who approached and after a pause introduced them in order from left to right mes.

　　"This is Nikla from the negative energy department, and this is Lal from the plant department. And lastly, this is my identical sister, Laney. And this is the Freya schoolmate I told you about."

　　The last sentence was to introduce Freya to the trio.

　　"Hello guys, I'm Freya from the Positive Energy Department." Freya greeted in a friendly manner.

　　Two men and one woman. All three of them nodded to Freya when they were introduced by Rand, but did not speak, and except for the one Rand's sister, Lanny, who slightly showed curiosity and glanced towards her, the remaining two were expressionless, as if they had no intention of making contact with Freya.

　　Although Freya was a bit irritated by the indifference of the three, she didn't say anything. She knew that some apprentice wizards were of the nerd type, apart from studying and researching, they were not very good at socialising and this was still the first time they had met each other, perhaps these three people were of this type.

　　Seeing that his introduction was too cold, Rand helplessly flashed her an apologetic smile and diverted the topic.

　　"It's just after seven now. Think a few others will be here in a little while. Let's wait here for now."

　　"Um, okay." Freya nodded gently.

　　Then she made some small talk with Rand. Then they couldn't find anything else to talk about, so they all waited in silence.

　　The two rabbit guardians who acted as horsemen probably hadn't eaten any breakfast, and both got off the wagon and ran to the side of the path to nibble on the grass when the crowd fell into silence.

　　Freya's eyes wandered as she watched the two rabbits eating grass, but in reality, she was feeling the concentration of energy particles around the other few people.

　　However, she found that apart from Rand, who belonged to the second class apprentice like her, the other three, including Rand's sister, all had the aura of a third class apprentice.

　　This made it somewhat clear in her mind why these three people were treating her with some indifference.

　　The level of the third class apprentice is already the closest to the level of the official sorcerer, and the second class apprentice is even more heavenly difference is not in a level at all, even if they talk to each other, in addition to some useless small talk, there is no common topic at all.

　　And Freya also secretly found out that their attitude towards Rand, although it was still a bit better, but it was also slightly through the eyes of overlooking.

　　'Three third class apprentices coming to do this seemingly ordinary magic pet quest, either this quest has a hidden agenda, or this person who issued the private quest has an extremely special identity... I don't know if it's good or bad.' Freya thought secretly in her heart.

　　About an hour had passed.

　　The sun at eight o'clock had already risen high, the rabbit guardians dragged their bulging stomachs and climbed onto the car, one of the rabbits even burped greatly, it seemed that they had eaten a lot.

　　Even after waiting for an hour, the other four except Freya showed little impatience.

　　At this time, in the distance on the academy's road, a white stallion carrying two talents came slowly.

　　On the horse was a man and a woman, both wearing grey robes representing the apprentice status, seemed to be a couple, the man sat behind the horse embracing the woman, his arms intertwined, didn't know what the man said, suddenly the woman's face revealed a faint blush and shrunk her neck.

　　Watching the white horse approach, Rand stretched out his arm over here and waved vigorously.

　　And Freya narrowed her eyes slightly, and as the horse approached, she got a real good look at the faces of the two men.

　　The man was blonde and handsome, but his face was a little too pale, and there were still faint traces of black in the bags under his eyes, only it seemed to be covered by some kind of powder, and there was a feeling of lethargy even when he was riding on the horse.

　　This person gave her a feeling as if he was one of those foppish noble sons in Byron in the past.

　　As for the female embraced in his arms, it was clearly the girl who did the Carrion Eater quest together last time, as if she was called Lena or something, only compared to the longbow she still held last time, at this time, this girl was directly carrying nothing, and looked at the demeanour as if she was going on a trip.

　　However, Freya saw the intimate relationship between the two, also some understanding of her mentality, but embraced a good thigh.

　　The man on the white stallion saw Rand's wave and revealed a smile, saying something towards Lena before gently clipping the horse's belly and trotting over to this side.

　　"Rand, is everyone here?" Before he even reached the ground, the man exclaimed to Rand.
