The most powerful wizard in the magic world

"Gerlin, what are you thinking about?" A low and gentle voice came from behind. Gerlin came to his senses and saw his good friend Arno standing at the door, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm thinking about the third-class apprentice, Emily." Gerling shook his head helplessly. He was shocked by Emily's talent, but also worried about the possible surveillance she might impose on her mentor.

Arno raised his eyebrows: "Emily? Isn't she the little witch known for her great talent? Are you really not going to communicate with her?"

"I would love to, but her mentor - you know, he always keeps an eye on her." Gerlin said, his eyes once again falling out the window, as if looking for that familiar figure. "I'm worried that there might be tracking runes on her body."

"This kind of thing is indeed very common." Arno moved closer, as if thinking seriously. "If Emily is really as smart as the rumors say, she might be able to deal with these problems skillfully."

"But I'm not sure if she can detect that she's being tracked." Gellin sighed, his mouth slightly down. "I don't want to interfere with her student life without any certainty."

Arno pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "We can try to get close to her, but in an unnoticeable way. For example, start with indirect communication and slowly observe and understand her."

"Is this too risky?" Gerling began to hesitate. He didn't want to get himself and Arnault into any trouble.

"We can be among the crowd without leaving any traces." Arno smiled slightly and seemed to start thinking of a plan. "Meet her in the library or at the practice field. I believe that as long as we speak appropriately, it will not arouse suspicion."

After a brief thought, Gerling finally nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to try. But we must be careful not to reveal our intentions in any case."

Arno patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will handle it properly."

A few days later, Gerling and Arno made an action plan in the library. Through the tall bookshelves, they happened to meet Emily who was browsing books. Gerling was nervous, worried that the approach he had planned with great difficulty would eventually lose the opportunity because of his recklessness.

"You go first, I'll observe from behind." Arno whispered, with some encouragement in his tone.

Gerlin walked slowly towards Emily, trying to be as natural as possible. His eyes fell on the page in front of her, which was a study of elemental magic. "Emily, what are you doing?" He tried to make his voice sound relaxed.

She raised her head, her eyes clear and focused. "I'm studying the details of elemental summoning, trying to combine fire and water elements."

"It sounds very challenging." Gerling pretended to be calm, but his heart was in a state of panic. Emily looked very focused and seemed to be enjoying the process.

"Are you also interested in elemental magic?" Emily smiled slightly, and seemed not to be opposed to his coming.

"I just recently developed some curiosities about it and wanted to learn more about it." Gerling replied with a wry smile, secretly glad that she didn't avoid the topic.

"If you want, we can communicate together." Emily was a little excited, as if she had found a like-minded person in this regard. "But be careful, if you are not careful, the combination may cause unexpected disasters."

"I will be very careful." Gerling was delighted. This was the conversation he wanted. He couldn't help but think of his previous worries. If she was a genius, she would definitely be very alert to being tracked. He had to nurture this relationship with patience and kindness.

During this time, Arnault watched quietly from the side, gradually revealing a satisfied smile. He was sure that Gerling could lead this conversation to a deeper level of communication.

"By the way, Emily, has your mentor been keeping an eye on you?" Gerling's heart was lifted, and he keenly grasped the topic. "I heard that he always sets up a lot of surveillance methods on you."

Emily pursed her lips and sighed slightly: "Yes, my instructor is very strict. He always hopes that I can surpass my limits. But sometimes, this makes me feel suffocated."

"Haven't you ever thought about escaping from such constraints?" Gerlin probed, and he also felt in his heart that Emily was not willing to be bound.

"Escape is not an option." Her voice was firm and clear. "I need to learn from this and find my own way. Although it is frustrating sometimes, I believe that one day I can transcend the framework he set."

"I hope you can realize your wish smoothly." Gerling said sincerely, admiring the young lady's tenacity.

Arno, who was not far away, seemed to have heard something. He took a few steps closer and opened the book, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to interrupt the conversation: "Emily, if you need other books or information, you can ask for our help."

Emily reacted to Arno's joining with ease: "Thank you, I'll think about it. I've had some research books that are hard to find lately."

"The library's collection is very rich, and I have done a lot of research on these materials. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time." Arno smiled slightly, with sincerity in his eyes.

A few simple conversations gradually made the three of them develop a tacit understanding. As time went on, Gerlin and Arno frequently communicated with Emily in various ways, and they gradually began to explore deeper ideas from simple learning discussions. Emily's passion for elemental magic and her thirst for knowledge made Gerlin and Arno feel a long-lost vitality.

However, behind this seemingly calm exchange, Gerling's heart could not get rid of the worry about the tracking rune. He knew that Emily's mentor was not a good person, and any rash action might cause unnecessary trouble.
