The start of the school year was set for Monday.

The students went to the academy with anticipation and expressions that were hard to tell whether to laugh or cry.

The Royal Magic Academy has been completely renovated, with new buildings and marble covering the ground.

Several flags fluttered in the wind atop the brand-new castle.

The cobblestone path under my feet is still so familiar, only it has become less smooth and bears fewer traces of time.

The fountain in the square in front of the college was also dazzling, and everything seemed to be starting anew from a new beginning.

Rachel looked at the rebuilt college, stroked his beard, chuckled, and entered the dean's office, leaning on his cane.

The academy has been almost completely renovated, but one area has been preserved.

That's the deep crater created by Victor's blast.

A fence was built around it to prevent students from accidentally falling in.

Originally, a deep pit wouldn't need such protection, since who would go near a large pit for no reason?

To everyone's surprise, the area around the pit was now packed with students, shoulder to shoulder, all crowding around to see the enormous pit.

This giant crater has a radius of at least half a kilometer and covers a very large area.

The bottom of the pit is also terrifying, with a depth of several tens of meters. Once you fall in, it's no different from falling from a building.

At this point, the deep pit was no longer just a remnant of a major battle.

It is now a memorial site for the magic academy.

In remembrance of that demonic war.

In remembrance of that mysterious, earth-shattering experience.

A group of students crowded at the front, looking at the huge pit in front of them with a sense of pride.

They recounted the horrific scene of that day to the students around them, and then told their younger schoolmates what had happened:

"Oh my, you haven't seen it, Professor Victor's magic is truly amazing!"

"Yes, I saw it that day too, such a huge meteorite, wow."

"And we even helped Professor Victor!"

"Working together, we broke through the black barrier that was obscuring the sky!"

The more they reminisce about the past, the more proud they feel.

As if they had witnessed the scene of that battle, they had them wear medals representing courage on their chests.

"It seems that Professor Victor will become the head professor of the Royal Magic Academy this semester!"

A student wearing glasses suddenly started talking about rumors he had heard in the crowd.

The people around him immediately focused their attention on him.

"But I only heard about it from others."

"Even hearsay is fine, continue!"

Seeing the expectant looks from his classmates, the boy pushed up his glasses and continued mysteriously:

"It seems the dean is preparing to personally bestow the position of chief professor upon Viktor."

"It's all for Professor Victor's immense contribution in that war against the demons."

He kept talking, getting more and more engrossed in his story, completely oblivious to the fact that his classmates were gradually leaving.

He suddenly felt confused, as if a shadow had fallen over him.

A detached voice rang out coldly from behind.

"What are you saying? Let me hear it too."

That voice... it sounds so familiar.

The student turned around and was startled.

“Professor Victor…”

After shouting, he chased after the fleeing students and hurriedly left.

Viktor's strength was recognized by many, and naturally, he became even more terrifying.

The students both admired and revered Viktor.

After the students left, Victor stared blankly at the deep pit in front of him.

Vega, however, was somewhat moved.

"Our chief professor is really impressive; every student is afraid of him."

Victor ignored him.

The nomination for chief professor was sent out yesterday.

This honor will be bestowed upon him personally by the dean during Viktor's public lecture a few days later.

Indeed, Rachel has never forgotten Viktor's open lecture.

Viktor's open course is coming up close to the end of the semester. With Viktor's influence, he will definitely attract more new students to enroll after the course ends.

The youngest third-tier mage became the youngest fourth-tier mage and even defeated the demon.

She is even a member of the Mage Council and currently the private tutor of the Imperial Princess.

These titles are so weighty, so heavy, that they feel almost unreal.

How can so many titles appear on the same person? And each one is quite remarkable.

And soon he will have another title: Chief Professor of the Royal Academy of Magic.

"Professor...!"

Hene ran to Victor's side.

Victor glanced down at Hennie, who was panting heavily.

Today she officially took up her post as an honorary associate professor at the college.

However, the title of associate professor is only because she lacks the necessary qualifications.

After all, she was only a first-tier mage.

In fact, she has replaced Devon Reiser as professor.

"What's up."

Hene came to him in such a hurry, there must be something wrong.

She caught her breath and said:

"The students in the Arcane Hall are fighting!"

...

The Arcane Hall's magic arena is an open sparring area belonging to the academy.

If students of the Royal Magic Academy have any disputes, they can settle them privately on this magic arena.

Because both sides will agree on the conditions for winning and losing, and the results will be recorded by the magic arena to prevent students from cheating.
