After he joined Atbolde's apprenticeship, what he did most was to seclude himself.
Thus, he indeed didn't have much understanding of the unspoken rules about factions and schools and some other information.
Right now, Jonah's reminder was like timely rain.
"No need to mind," Jonah chuckled, then hesitated slightly, adding,
"Lord Colin, when you registered earlier, there was some conflict between you and my student, Ocasie..."
"I've never taken it to heart."
Colin, hearing this, smiled and shook his head, interrupting Jonah.
He finally understood why Jonah was talking so much to him... but indeed, he was not a person of narrow mind.
"Then I am relieved," Jonah released a light breath.
Making an enemy of such a dazzling Golden Feather talent was truly an unwise choice.
"I'll be taking my leave then," Colin nodded toward Jonah and turned to stride towards the exit.
Creak.
Just then, the office door was suddenly opened.
A witch wearing brown glasses walked in.
"Ocasie! You should knock before entering, it's basic etiquette, have you forgotten?!"
Seeing this, Jonah's expression slightly darkened as he sternly reprimanded.
His gaze subconsciously glanced at Colin, and seeing his calm demeanor, his heart gradually settled.
Ocasie sheepishly grinned, coquettishly saying, "Teacher, I thought it was only you in the office."
Jonah, with a stern face, looked at his most cherished student, feeling utterly helpless.
Colin didn't pay much attention, merely giving Jonah a nod before quickly turning and leaving the office.
Ocasie probably, like Jonah, didn't recognize him at a glance.
It was better this way; otherwise, recognizing him might have caused more trouble.
Click.
The wooden door gently closed, and Colin's footsteps gradually faded.
"Teacher, don't be mad, I will remember next time."
Ocasie, looking at Jonah still with a stern face, gently touched her large brown glasses and hastily smiled as she came behind Jonah, pounding on his back with her fist.
"Ah, you," with Colin gone, Jonah completely relaxed and shook his head, somewhat resignedly.
"Hehe," Ocasie giggled, her eyes squinted into crescents under her large brown frames, she suddenly asked, "Who was that wizard just now? He looks kind of familiar."
"Colin Leonard, here to register as a First Rank Advanced Wizard."
"Colin Leonard..." Ocasie slightly furrowed her brow, struggling to recall this somewhat familiar name.
As the memory in her mind became clearer, her eyes gradually widened, and her mouth opened slightly in surprise,
"That liar?!"
"He advanced to a First Rank Advanced Wizard?!"
"What liar, without evidence, such judgments should not be made hastily!" Jonah scolded.
Yet inside, he began to feel gradually uncertain—
For such a talented wizard, it made no sense for him to lie like that... Could it be that what Colin said was all true?!
Was he really the Heroic Wizard who saved the Southern Seven Islands battle?!
Jonah looked at Ocasie still in shock next to him, hesitated, but chose not to voice his speculations.
Perhaps Colin was not that heroic wizard, but since Lord Nois seemed to have intentionally concealed information about Colin.
Then if there was even the slightest possibility of wrongdoing, it was best not to spread such information.
