36. Memory From The Past

Maybe it was due to the twins having the same sets of mind, but surprisingly, when the two sisters grew up, they fell in love with the same person at the same time. That person happened to be Baldwin.

At that time, Baldwin was a talented student in the Profound Academy. At the age of nineteen, he had reached the silver level and graduated from the academy, but did not choose to leave the academy. Instead, he resolutely stayed and chose to continue practicing his skills. At the same time, he also took up the teaching work and brought several talented students into the academy.

Facing the pursuit of the two sisters, Baldwin decided to choose Shannon. Shania was admissible and did not raise any objection to this decision. But since then, Shania's character had become much calmer.

Because Shannon was three years younger than Baldwin, and the light mage was a more traditional person, he always wanted to go back to his parents in the south to hold the impending wedding.

Also, the first batch of students brought by Baldwin were all excellent, and they were not far from completing their learning process in the academy. Therefore, their wedding was delayed until Shannon was twenty six years old and the conclusion was finally reached.

That particular year, Baldwin was twenty nine years old. With his excellent talent and hard training, his power base had reached the Gold level.

Even the first batch of students he brought into the academy all excelled because of their outstanding talents. Among them were a couple who plan to go back to the south too.

So Baldwin took a year off, and with Shannon, along with the couple, set for the south together.

Saddly, what was originally a happy wedding trip turned into a tragedy.

Half a year later, when Baldwin and Shannon returned to Profound Academy, Baldwin suffered a huge mental shock and lost his essence base, but Shannon was left on the edge of death.

When Shannon was about to die, she called Baldwin and Shania to her presence and left them her last words.

"Shania, I know that you lied to me when you said that you were not interested in marrying before me. I know that you have always liked Baldwin, and you didn't get married because of that. Now, that I'm leaving this world behind, I want you to be with him, and take care of him, just like I did." Then, Shannon turned to Baldwin again. "My dear, when I'm gone, you must love my sister like you love me. She is my only beloved sister, nothing must happen to her. You must promise me not to let her down ."

In the face of Shannon's last words, the two of them could only nod their heads in agreement.

After Shannon's death, her parents passed on the position of grand elder to Shania because of excessive grief, and then retired from the scene.

But Baldwin seemed to have changed as a person. Not only did he not want to be with Shania, but he was also mentally broken and became a nervous wreck every day. He was neither teaching nor practicing his skills.

Sometimes, he would hide in the library and kept reading, and wouldn't come out for days. Other times he would be in the house, and the sound of metal tapping was often heard, coming from his chamber.

In a flash, more than ten years passed by, and Baldwin never left the academy, but had been performing this weird behavior ever since. But with the passage of time, his power base had recovered a little, his behavior had gradually become normal, and there was no visible mental problem at all.

In the past ten years, everyone in the academy, from masters to students, had known that there was such a broken master in the academy. Baldwin's nickname, Crazewin, didn't go away either. It was given to him by the first batch of students that he brought in.

In the past ten years, Shania had never been married due to the words of her sister and her love for Baldwin. Although she couldn't draw his affectionate feelings towards her, she had been taking care of Baldwin silently in secret.

A year ago, when she saw that Baldwin's mental state had finally become stable, she developed a feasible method to help the mage get out of this decadent life. Afterwards, Shania had a big planned quarrel with him, and she intentionally forced him to open a branch at the former site of the school.

At the same time, Shania also deliberately arranged for three talented students to study with the mage at the new branch. This includes Yara, who was rescued by Baldwin a few years ago and taken as an adopted daughter.

What Shania didn't expect was that after the new students started this year, two more talented students joined Baldwin's group. This made Shania feel vindicated. Her hopeful proportion increased a lot.

Back to the present.

Shania was now worried about Baldwin's weird behavior reported by elder Warren just now. Through the gray-black window of the library, Shania saw the mage sitting in front of the table, looking intensely at an ancient book. There were more than a dozen thick ancient books on the table, blocking most of his body.

However, judging from his facial expression, she concluded that the light mage did not seem to have any abnormal manifestations of morbidity. So, after standing outside the window for what appeared to be a long time, Shania finally let out a breath and left with peace of mind.
