Tron ignored the young man and started jogging. His speed about 60km/h as he jogged softly through the forest.


    Frances managed to keep up with him at first but when reached the 100 km mark, he immediately stopped as soon as he reached his limit. His legs shaking as he flopped in the floor, watching as Tron moves in the distance without breaking a single sweat yet.


    Noticing that the young man had given up, Tron started his real training.


    "BOOM!"


    Immense amount of shockwaves exploded behind as  the void trembled and the wind howled like the roar of an engine.


    A crimson aura exploded out as Tron vanished into the distance. Even the surveince system of the academy wasn''t able to catch a hold of his feature as he was just a reddish blur on the screen.


    Roughly 3 hourster, Tron reached the entrance of his cave but paused slightly in surprised as he noticed Frances was actually there waiting for him.


    He frowned, ''what does this brat wants?''


    He suddenly vanished and appeared before Frances.


    Frances ears twitched and his nose red. He suddenly looked up as noticed Tron was just 5 meters away from him, staring at him with a raised eyebrow.


    Frances shuddered. Such a close distance and he barely detected Tron''s arrival. No mana, no sound and fast movement.


    What sort of technique is this!?


    "Master! Teach me!"


    Frances spoke solemnly.


    Tron suddenly burst out inyo a chuckle. "I like your sense of humour."


    However, he suddenly noticed Frances expression hadn''t changed in the slightest.


    "Oh, you''re serious." Tron said in slight surprised. But then waved his hands.


    "I can''t teach you anything. That why you attended the academy isn''t it?" he head towards his cave as he spoke decisively.


    What a joke. He himself couldn''t attend lecture for now. Moreover, he still needed to reach the Arch Mage realm to have the means of protecting himself. He could he have the time to teach someone something he doesn''t know.


    Tron immediately ignored the young man and was about to rearrange his entrance when Frances spoke.


    "100 gold for each lecture."


    Tron''s arms shook slightly and the boulder on one of his arms fell and rolled down the forest ground, destroying trees as it moved.


    Tron didn''t focus on that and turned towards the young man. "Deal! Don''t me me if you don''t learn anything in each lecture."


    Frances eyes lit up and immediately he morphed back to his human form


    A massive wolf skin seem dissambled from his flesh as his bones cracked and popped. Right now, it appeared ass though he had been wearing a full wolf skin all along with the wolf head on the young man''s head as though about to swallow Frances up.


    Tron was a bit surprised. This was the first time he was seeing this sort of magic. This made Tron even more attracted to magic. I just want to control magic, even if it''s just conjuring the smallest of  spells.


    Shaking the the thought from his head, Tron suddenly had an idea.


    "Alright, let me see you ability first to decide on how to teach you. Follow me."


    The two headed into the deeper part of the forest.


    ...


    In the ancient forest, giant trees towered into the sky. The thick branches and leaves grew outwards and gave the impression that they were covering the sky. Moreover, shocking roars would bring about powerful Arcane Energy fluctuations when they were heard from time to time in this boundless forest.


    Roar!


    Currently, somewhere within the forest, Tron was staring in surprise at the magical beast in front of him. The magical beast''s body was covered with a golden color. It had a shape simr to a cow and even had a golden horn on top of its head. However, its tail was close to a crocodile''s tail and had many sharp spikes.


    As it swung around, it caused the wind to whistle and the air seemed to be torn apart.


    Golden Crocodile, a Two-mark magical beast. It had strengthparable to a Twin-circle Mage. Furthermore, the golden scales that covered its body made it impregnable.


    Beside the Golden Crocodile, there was a giant ck tiger as well. Although it was not as bold and powerful whenpared to the Golden Crocodile, it was still strong.


    "Leave this big guy to me. You can deal with the other."


    Tron pointed at the Golden Crocodile. He wanted to see Frances inbat and this was the perfect time to do so.


    "Okay." Frances nodded. He took in a deep breath and immediately, the wolf skin actually transformed into millions of tendrils that drilled into Frances body, merging into his flesh as his body started to grow and expande. In the next second, he had transformed into a two meters tall hybrid!


    Seeing this, Tron no longer said anything. He immediately lunged over towards the Golden Crocodile. As he extended his ws, the fingertips shone a crimson light. An extremely sharp and overbearing aura emitted from them.


    Roar!


    The Golden Crocodile roared as it noticed Tron rushing over. Itshed its tail, which was strong enough to crush boulders, fiercely towards Tron and appeared to hit him. However, its tail mysteriously passed through Tron''s body, like a phantom. It was an after image!


    "Up here."


    Tron moved swiftly and appeared above the Golden Crocodile''s head. He smiled slightly, and energy erupted out from his muscles. The energy forcibly made the Golden Crocodile copse on the ground as his wed mercilessly into the Golden Crocodile''s head .


    ng!


    Sparks burst out. Tron''s fingers, that were hardened like tempered steel, actually prated through the Golden Crocodile''s tough golden scales. Fresh blood instantly sprayed out.


    Roar!


    The Golden Crocodile instantly entered a frenzy due to it being severely injured. However, no matter how it struggled, it failed to touch Tron''s specter-like figure. With thetter''s strength, it was quite easy to deal with a Twin-mark Magical beast.


    In one minute, the Golden Crocodile waspletely covered with its own blood. Finally, it stopped struggling and crashed onto the ground, which instantly shook due to the impact.


    Tron pped his hands and squatted down. He extracted Gene essence, which was shining a golden light, from the Golden Crocodile''s head.


    Tron held onto the magical beast''s Soul Essence. A Twin-mark magical beast''s Soul Essence wasn''t something he would care about. But he was currently in need of money.


    Tron stopped dwindling and turned his gaze over towards Frances. For Frances, his strength was close to the ck tiger magical beast. Therefore, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with it. As they shed against each other, injuries appeared on his body. However, it was evident that the ck tiger magical beast suffered far worse injuries.


    The battle between the hybrid and the magical beaststed for a while. The ck tiger magical beast finally couldn''t bear it and struggled as it copsed. Then, Frances rushed over and delivered a heavy blow. He killed itpletely.


    Frances sat on the corpse of the ck tiger magical beast and wiped the blood off his face. He directed an embarrassed smile to Tron.


    Just as Frances was about to speak, Tron''s eyelids bounced.


    Swish.


    At this moment, numerous fiery lights suddenly stormed out from the forest and shot off towards Frances''s vital points.


    This attack was too swift and abrupt. Therefore, Frances failed to perceive it and could only watch as the fiery lights grewrger within his eyes.


    Boom!


    But just when the fire arrows were about to hit Frances''s body, a hand pped the arrows away as though it was nothing.


    "BANG!" "BANG!"


    The hand was actually Tron''s arm! He had quickly appeared before Frances and pped the Fire arrows sideways.


    Frances''s face instantly changed. He hurriedly stood up and stared fearfully into the forest. If it wasn''t for Tron, he would have probably been injured heavily.


    "Who''s there!" He stood up and shouted out angrily.


    Tron frowned and said: "You''ve sneakily followed us for so long already. Yet you''re reluctant to reveal your appearances?"


    "Ohoho, as expected of our Prime student. You''re indeed quite capable."


    From the forest, sounds ofughter rang out. Then, three figures rushed out andnded on a branch. They stared down at Tron and Frances with gazes as if they had spotted prey.


    Frances was wasn''t surprised when the three figures revealed themselves. They were also year one students like them. He knew it woulde to the point of robbing others for points.


    "3 Twin-Circle Magus!"


    Frances''s heart sank. These three individuals were in no way inferior Tron. If it was only one person, it would be easy to deal with them. But with all three of them, even Tron would find it quite troubling.


    "Tron."


    Frances approached Tron and his voice was filled with worries. He knew that it would be simple for Tron to leave by himself even if all three joined forces. However, it would be troublesome if Tron had to bring him away as well.


    "Master, there''s no need to stay for me. Although I can''t flee, they can''t do anything to me either?"


    Frances gritted his teeth and his eyes zed. He felt slightly ufortable for being a burden to Tron. Moreover, he had enough magical items. While he wouldn''t be able to escape, they wouldn''t be able to do anything to him either.


    "With the current situation, there''s no need to do so." Tron directed a smile at Frances. If they thought three people at the Twin-Circle Magus were able to force him to abandon his Frances and escape, then they were underestimating him.
