Sophia appeared at the entrance of the academy.
Facing Ed and the city guards, her expression was calm and composed.
Seeing Sophia’s appearance, the teachers of the academy let out a sigh of relief, because they were very clear about Sophia’s strength.
This was the teacher from the Imperial City, and she was also an archmage.
As for Ed, he looked at Sophia with some doubt.
He could feel an invisible pressure from Sophia, which surprised Ed.
After all, in his eyes, Sophia was only a woman in her twenties, more like a student of this academy. But Ed knew that Sophia was not as simple as a student.
“Who are you?” Ed asked.
As the mayor of Rand Town, Ed was not clear about the transfer of personnel from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy. Otherwise, he would not dare to speak to Sophia in such an arrogant tone.
As an archmage, even though Ed was very close to this realm, he was still one step away.
Just one small step, and the difference between him and Sophia was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Sophia didn’t answer Ed’s question. Instead, she said very calmly, “I heard that you want to kill my student?”
Of course, Sophia knew that such a big thing had happened in the academy.
Not far away, Lin An saw that Sophia actually stood up for him, and he was very touched.
Although Sophia was usually very cold, Lin An knew that under Sophia’s cold appearance, she also had a warm heart.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped him recover after every physical training session.
“Your student?” Ed looked at Sophia and said, “He committed a crime in Rand Town. According to the law of Scott Kingdom, he should be handed over to us to deal with.”
Indeed, if it was Lin An who took the initiative to commit a crime, Ed had the authority to arrest Lin An.
“Hmph!”
“According to the laws of Scott Kingdom, if a mount is allowed to harm civilians, the noble can be stripped of their title as a noble and demoted to a commoner.”
“In one’s own territory, if you harm civilians for no reason, you can be sentenced to several years in prison and destroy their cultivation.”
“If you provoke recklessly, you deserve to die.”
Sophia was not that weak. After letting out a cold snort, she erupted with a powerful aura.
What Sophia said just now was not wrong at all. Brutus had allowed the Fiery Horse to collide with the commoner on the street. Strictly speaking, it was a major crime.
Brutus had usually harmed countless commoners in Rand Town. If it were not for his family’s concealment, he would have been hanged long ago.
As for his wanton provocation, that was Brutus’ act of provoking others. Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved it.
Not to mention that he had only lost a pair of legs.
“The Imperial City’s law code? In Rand Town, if you dare to hurt my son, don’t even think about letting it go. City guards, attack and capture the murderer.”
Errol could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and commanded the city guards to launch an attack.
Immediately, these city guards rushed towards Lin An.
The city guards were no longer soldiers who maintained order in Rand Town.
In a sense, they were more like the York family’s private soldiers.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the courage to barge into the Hodtrotz Magic Academy.
Noble families were allowed to have private soldiers, but the city guards were an army belonging to the kingdom. They were mobilized by the York family and used their power for personal gain. If this was investigated further, they would definitely be punished.
“Hmph, courting death.”
Sophia looked at the city guards who were swarming forward. Her eyes revealed a coldness towards life.
It was as if in her eyes, these city guards were not living people, but corpses.
It was also at this time that the clear sky became a little gloomy. Snowflakes slowly fell from the void.
There was a terrifying magic energy brewing in the surroundings.
Ed, who was watching the battle from the side, felt that something was wrong. A sense of danger rose in his heart.
Looking at the falling snowflakes, he suddenly thought of something…
“What beautiful snowflakes. Is someone casting a spell?”
“On such a hot day, I actually feel cold.”
“What a terrifying magic fluctuation. What kind of spell is this?”
Many onlookers were curious when they saw this sudden snowflake.
Moreover, this snowflake was very magical. It only covered the entire area where the city guards were. Places beyond this area were not affected at all.
At the same time, Sophia shouted softly, “The world of ice and snow!”
Instantly, under the feet of the city guards, ice covered everything. One by one, the city guards turned into ice sculptures in an instant.
A great swordsman like Errol also turned into an ice sculpture.
As the snowflakes slowly fell, the entire place was silent.
Only Ed, who was not far away, saw this scene and was extremely shocked.
“Fifth… Tier-5 magic, Ice and Snow. You are an archmage!”
Ed did not expect that Sophia, who looked so young, actually had the realm of an archmage.
Most importantly, most archmages needed to prepare for a period of time to cast a tier-5 spell, or cast it quickly with the help of magic equipment.
But Sophia was different. She had only communicated with the elemental energy between heaven and earth and cast a tier-5 spell in an instant.
There were only two possibilities. One was that Sophia had borrowed some special magic equipment.
Second, Sophia was extremely talented and was very proficient in magic.
But no matter what, it proved that Sophia’s identity was not ordinary.
Lin An, who was not far away, was also very shocked when he saw the magic that Sophia had cast.
Although Lin An knew that Sophia had great power, this was the first time Lin An had seen Sophia make a move.
A single spell had taken out dozens of city guards. This was too terrifying.
At the same time.
Not far from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy, in a hidden location.
Susanna and a man were watching everything.
“Father, Teacher Sophia is too powerful.” Susanna was very emotional.
Yesterday, Susanna knew that the city guards would definitely come looking for trouble, so she went to find her father overnight.
However, what Susanna did not expect was that Sophia actually made a move, and it was so powerful.
At this time, Susanna’s father said, “So it’s her, Nana. It seems that I don’t need to make a move. I still have some matters to attend to in the Magical Beast Forest. You stay here. If anything happens, break the jade pendant. I’ll rush back.”
After saying that, Susanna’s father handed over a jade pendant to Susanna and disappeared from the spot.
Teleportation!
This was the power of an archmage.
