Percival smiled at Wallace as he further explained.

"I know that with your current skills, you have a high chance to be a partic.i.p.ant. You just have to continue your outstanding performance."

"I will." Wallace nodded as he understood what the headmaster was trying to tell.

"So, the reason I called you here is that I want to give you an opportunity. You can accept or decline it... But since you've mentioned you want to join the compet.i.tion... I suggest you accept it."

Wallace was delighted about being given an opportunity. But he was quite curious for the reason why the headmaster is willing to give him an opportunity, he was about to ask but Percival seems to have read his mind.

"The magic structure you've created, it is very helpful... very."

The headmaster smiled mysteriously at him and he didn't want to delve to much about it as well so Wallace did not ask further. He was more concerned about the opportunity that the other mentioned.

"I don't know how did you manage to create it and since our army or country will benefit from it, so I'd like to give you a task." Percival cleared his throat before continuing.

"There's an ongoing project being managed by your seniors here in the Academy. Unfortunately, they are currently stuck on that project and they couldn't make progress. So if you will be able to help them, then your partic.i.p.ation in the compet.i.tion is in the bag. Would you like to give them a hand?"

"Of course, I'll be willing to help. But Sir, you've mentioned that they are my seniors? Can I really be of help?"

Wallace smiled wryly as it was common sense that seniors has much more advanced knowledge. If 1st year in the Academy was a foundation building and 2nd year is focused more on theoretical knowledge, the 3rd years has been immersed in a lot of practical training. Almost every day throughout their academic year they would be in intensive training on their selected course.

"Good! The third year students you'll a.s.sist are in the Artifact Forging Cla.s.s and all currently busy doing a research in a particular magic structure. I believe that you'll be able to help them. You can meet them tomorrow."

"If you think that highly of me, then I will do my best, Sir" Wallace had accepted the task not only because he wanted to have a chance to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion but because he received another mission from the Pathfinder.

[ It is better to grab a rare chance to have yourself improved.

Mission: a.s.sist your senior on the research project they are currently stuck on.

Mission Reward: x2 Random Memory Crystal

Bonus Reward: If the mission was completed with the highest rating, the user will receive x1 Mystery Box ]

Wallace wasn't even aware of the project that his senior was working on. But since the mission was already there and no penalty failing it, he accepted it without hesitation.

"That's good, I will explain to you the details... No, Instructor Elaine is almost here so she'll explain it to you."

As soon as the headmaster finished speaking, the door in the room was knocked before a gorgeous lady entered. She was on a casual attire, not looking like an instructor at all as she isn't wearing the academy's instructor uniform. She's wearing a red cardigan and a modest skirt and holding a hand bag on her left. She smiled and greeted the two of them.

"Good afternoon, Headmaster Percival and you too Wallace."

Wallace greeted back and a bit confused for a second before remembering that this instructor is handling the first section on 3rd year cla.s.s. Most likely, it will be her student whom I'll be a.s.sisting. He thought and could only guess at this point.

Anyway, she'll discuss to me what I should do to help them.

The night before Wallace would provide his a.s.sistance to his seniors in the academy, he was contacted by the Director of Bureau of Patent about purchasing rights on manufacturing Magic Jammer Canceller. Wallace wasn't too sure about the pricing of this and had to ask a.s.sistance on his parents which they willingly agreed to help by negotiating in behalf of him. He was told by his parent's that the amount will be transferred on his bank account and just have to wait for it.

"It seems I'll be able to purchase better materials for practice." He needed money as well to enhance his forging skills. He was planning to purchase bulk materials and practice since he still lack experience in forging though he has enough knowledge.

"Working with seniors tomorrow might be tough. Haaa.. I need to rest now."

Wallace shook his head and after few breaths, he slept soundly as he needed to have good rest for his battle tomorrow with his seniors.

***

Later that night. Two people wearing black cloaks were in top of a certain building in the center of Tanza City.

"Raven, how was the new artifact?"

"Not bad. I tried it with Crow's Magic Jammer and it works perfectly."

Raven answered with a grin on his face. He was very satisfied in the new artifact he received. He was currently wearing a ring with a small Jax stone on it where the magic structure for the Magic Jammer Canceller can be infused to.

"We can take our revenge now with that guy. He injured our new guy, we can't let him get away with it. What about you, Hawk?" Raven added.

Both of them wore more than six mana artifacts and wearing military uniform behind the cloak. They both wore the trademark bracers of Zairus.

They are member of special magic corps of Zairus country, Lucent Force. It is a small group of elite magicians nurtured by the country.

Apparently, their new friend was injured by an enemy spy who infiltrated the country. Tonight, they received the new artifact to destroy the trump card of their enemy and will not let this opportunity slip.

"Mhm.. Good. We move now. Our Lucent Force would not take this lying down."

After saying this, both man melted on the shadow of the night and disappeared.
