Gerlin's mood was like the calm before the storm. He stepped into the study of Master Gofat with a solemn look. The bookshelves around him were full of heavy codes and ancient scrolls. The air was filled with the rich scent of ink and old paper. The sunlight from the window shone in, illuminating a corner of the room, as if adding a little warmth to the important conversation that was about to begin.

"Teacher, are you free?" Gerlin asked softly, trying to keep his voice as low as possible for fear of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.

Teacher Gofat was sitting at a huge wooden table, flipping through an ancient leather-bound book attentively. When he heard Gerlin's voice, he looked up, his eyes gentle but a little stern. "Gerlin, you're here. Are you feeling uneasy about the turmoil outside during this period?"

Gerlin hesitated slightly, but finally nodded. "Yes, Master. The situation has become increasingly tense recently, especially regarding Nas's safety. I think we need to come up with a plan to protect her and the other apprentices."

Gofat's brows knitted slightly, and he tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking. "You're right. We can't take this situation lightly. Nas is a very promising apprentice, and her talent has attracted the attention of many people. Especially those who want to take advantage of the power of young people."

"I'm worried that she will become their target." There was a hint of anxiety in Gerlin's voice. "I've seen some restless guys. They even wander around the college at night. I really don't know what their purpose is, but I'm sure they don't have good intentions."

Gofat looked at Gerlin with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through his every emotion. "So, you seek my help to develop a protection plan?"

"Yes, Master." Gerlin's tone became more resolute. "I want to ensure the safety of Nas and other apprentices. I can keep a distance from her and protect her secretly. At the same time, I also hope that you can lead some more experienced apprentices to look for potential threats."

Guo Fate pondered for a while, and finally nodded. "I understand. We need to act immediately. In the next few days, I will mobilize some surveillance forces in the academy to secretly observe the movements around. At the same time, we also need to let Nasi know about these potential dangers, but don't let her worry too much."

"I think this is wise," Gelling responded, feeling a little relieved. "So, how do we notify her?"

"I will find an opportunity to talk to her while she is practicing." Gofat said, with a glimmer of strategy in his eyes. "I will talk to her as a teacher and student, so that she can understand the importance of protection, and she can also be more careful in practice."

"Thank you, mentor! I will keep an eye on her from the side." After saying this, Gerling felt a little relieved psychologically, and felt that things were finally settled.

Gofat stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the playground, and shook his head. "But our plan can't be too obvious. Any action needs to be concealed, otherwise it will alert those guys. Can you do it, Gerling?"

"Don't worry, I will be very cautious." Gerling answered confidently, trying his best to hide the nervousness in his heart.

"Very good." Gofat smiled slightly. "During this period, I will arrange some more complex courses for Nasi to keep her alert during training. At the same time, I will also arrange some other students to assist her and increase the intensity of her training. This will not only improve her skills, but also protect her to a certain extent."

"Great, mentor!" Gerlin said gratefully, "This arrangement can not only improve Nas's strength, but also prevent her from falling into unnecessary panic."

Gofat nodded with satisfaction, then took out a piece of paper and pen, quickly wrote down some courses and tasks, and handed the paper to Gerlin again. "This is the course schedule I made for Nas. You can use your own time to practice with her and help her complete it. At the same time, you should also pay attention to her words and actions and report any abnormalities at any time."

"Understood. I will start executing it immediately." Gerlin took the paper, took a serious look at it, and then asked, "Teacher, what do you think the real goal of those dangerous forces is?"

Gofat frowned slightly, his face becoming heavy. "If someone could answer this question, we wouldn't be so passive. Every force has a purpose behind it, some for power, others for the benefit of the industry. But no matter what it is, their first step is to find someone they can use, and often these people are powerful young apprentices."

"Then we must remind Nas not to let her be easily influenced by others." Gerlin said firmly, "We can't let her become a pawn."

"That's right." Gofat nodded in agreement. "You are very insightful, Gerlin. As her close protector, you have a great responsibility. I will fully support you to ensure that we can protect Nas in this complicated situation."

"Thank you, mentor." Gerling's heart was filled with gratitude and a sense of responsibility. "I will do my best to ensure her safety."

Gofat smiled slightly, returned to the table, picked up the heavy codex, and returned his gaze to his research. "Well, let's start like this. I will discuss with other teachers and adjust the academy's course schedule as soon as possible. You should also pay attention to the movements around the academy at all times. We cannot let fear and shadows shroud this world of learning."

Gerlin nodded, and once again resolute in his heart. Protecting Nas was not only his duty, but also his deepest desire. He never wanted to see the girl who laughed on the playground and was full of curiosity about the unknown being swallowed by the shadows in the darkness.

"Goodbye, mentor." After saying this, Gerlin turned and walked towards the door, thinking about his next move in his mind.

"Be careful, Gerlin." Gofat's voice came from behind, with some concern.

"I will!" Gerling responded, pushed open the door and walked out of the study, feeling a breeze of fresh air blowing on his face, which instantly made him regain some clarity of mind.
