"No matter how qualified or capable he is, he's still just a second-class wizard apprentice," Stoffen said calmly. "You're breaking the rules of our newspaper."
As Stoffen spoke, he took out the GG report that the second-class wizard apprentice was going to publish and glanced at it.
When his gaze swept over the name of the second-class wizard apprentice, Stoffen paused slightly and said, "Leo Danville. Is that the second-class wizard apprentice who shone so brightly at the Grand Gathering?"
Seeing that Stoffel seemed interested, the twin-tailed witch quickly said, "That's right."
Stoffen nodded slightly and said, "If it is this second-class wizard apprentice, then it is understandable that you would pay attention to him."
but..."
Stofin shook his head, glanced at Leo's GG declaration briefly, and put it aside. He said, "Rules are rules."
He's only a second-class wizarding apprentice; if he wants to be listed as a GG in our newspaper, he'll have to wait until he becomes a first-class wizarding apprentice.
Seeing Stoffel's resolute determination, the twin-tailed witch looked disappointed.
Stoffen continued to review other submitted GG submissions.
"Kelly..."
Stoffen flipped through one of the submissions and couldn't help but frown. He said, "This Kelly has been an envoy for so many years, and her standards have not only not improved, but have actually declined. Perhaps I should inform her superior, the official wizard, to remove her from her position as envoy."
"This submission contains pharmacology-related content that is completely wrong, even the most basic information. Submitting something like this as a publication will affect the quality of our wizarding journal and cause serious damage to the interests of capable and innovative wizards in the future."
Stoffen seemed a little angry. He grabbed Kelly's report, crumpled it up, and threw it into the nearby trash can.
Stoffen read through all the other reports.
Stoffen pondered for a long time before saying, "The quality of this year's GG submissions is a bit poor. Even if I lower the standards, we're still short one GG submission. However, our wizarding newspaper will rather have fewer than fewer GG submissions of poor quality."
"Even if one spot is left vacant, the overall quality should not be affected."
After Stoffen finished speaking, his gaze fell on the content that Leo had wanted to publish earlier.
What Leo wanted to publish was a selection of outstanding research projects from the wizard apprentices of the Tower of Dawn, to be used by other wizards.
Although there are only three spots available, there will definitely be many interested wizard apprentices.
Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with this GG application.
Unfortunately, Leo was only a second-class wizard apprentice, which seriously affected Stoffen's evaluation of him.
Stoffen pondered for a moment and said, "Leo's GG report isn't qualified to be published in our wizarding newspaper yet. However, you can contact him and have him recruit people who are currently researching the flying pumpkin variant as a GG report to be published here."
"However, this only applies to GG applications submitted this month."
Their newspapers are not lacking in high-quality GG applications.
If Leo is tactless and chooses to refuse, then their newspapers won't be begging him to publish the GG application for the flying pumpkin variant.
"Yes, Sir Stoffen Wizard."
The twin-tailed witch replied.
"Oh, and one more thing. Wizard Stoffen, recently another wizarding apprentice has started trying to concoct dragon blood purification potions."
Upon hearing this, Stoffen pondered for a moment and said, "We can keep an eye on them. However, there are always one or two wizard apprentices like this every year, all hoping to gain my favor by refining dragon blood purification potions."
"While I don't dislike these people, I find it hard to place my hopes on those with such narrow-minded ideas."
"True geniuses don't care about pleasing formal wizards; instead, they strive for excellence and improve their skills."
The twin-tailed witch Vivian replied, "I will continue to follow up on this person's situation, and I will report any new information to Lord Stoffen as soon as possible."
"Okay, go ahead."
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Elise visited Leo's place again.
Leo took out some blood pressure-lowering tea for her.
Elise sipped her blood pressure-lowering tea, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "The wizards from the Tower of Dawn have been gone for several days, and there's still no news of Instructor Esmond. I wonder if something happened along the way that delayed them... or if they were attacked by wandering wizards and something happened to them."
Elise put down the blood pressure-lowering tea and said, "Although this blood pressure-lowering tea makes me feel refreshed after drinking it, the bitter taste is always unbearable."
Hearing Elise's complaint, Leo chuckled and said, "Tea always has a slightly astringent taste. Rather, that's part of its unique flavor."
"Anyway, I don't like this flavor."
"But I really like this blood pressure-lowering tea."
"Leo, can you sell this to me? I'm willing to pay with magic stones."
Leo glanced at Elise and said, "I'm not selling this. But if you come to my place, I can use this to entertain you."
"mean."
"Iris said, pouting."
Leo was quite moved when he saw Iris's playful appearance.
Since returning from the Grand Gathering, Leo and Iris's relationship has evolved from that of familiar strangers to that of friends.
During the grand gathering, although Elise's actions were reckless, she was willing to defy a formal wizard for Leo's sake.
Leo was somewhat moved by this.
But now that I think about it, Leo also finds it quite amazing.
When they first met, Leo never imagined that he and Iris would get along so well now.
Leo joked, "Elise, you're the one who's going to step on me to become a full-fledged wizard. I'm going to trip you up wherever you can grow, so you won't catch up to me. This blood pressure-lowering tea? Forget about it."
Elise pursed her lips and said, "Don't try to fool me with that. At your current rate of growth, I'm afraid by the time you become a full-fledged wizard, I won't even be at the level of a first-class wizard apprentice."
Leo said, "You have a level 6 mental talent, so your chances of becoming a formal wizard are quite high."
"Speaking of which, have you been in contact with the daughter of the wizard Uriel that we met before?"
Leo asked curiously.
Elise said, "Her? She's gone. I've fallen behind her recently. I admit, she was indeed at my level before, even a little stronger than me. But because of the wandering wizard incident, she and all the wizards in the Uriel Gathering were isolated for more than a month and were unable to cultivate."
"I won't stand still for the next month or so."
"She's no match for me now, but..."
Despite defeating an opponent, Elise showed no joy on her face; instead, she appeared somewhat sullen.
