The Most Arbitrary Wizard

Chapter 106: Chapter 72: "Offline

The director felt wronged as well. "We didn’t know Mr. Lante would be staying this long."

How was anyone supposed to know how long he would stay until he’d actually stayed that long?

Lante had come to the hospital several times this week, but he always left after a few minutes. She had assumed this time would be the same—that Lante was just making an appearance to maintain his friendship with Sean.

"Alright, alright, calm down," Elise said, trying to soothe her.

The hospital wasn’t really to blame. They didn’t know Lante was concocting a High-Potency Magic Potion for Sean, so naturally, they wouldn’t have been watching him specifically. It was already quite perceptive of the director to realize something was amiss.

"Just wait, I’m on my way," Elvire told the director.

Before the director could reply, Elise let out a surprised "Ah?" and asked, "Are we going over there?"

Elvire’s voice was loud. "What else would we do?"

’She was furious. How could Sean not tell her about something this major beforehand? What if something went wrong?’

Elise asked, feigning ignorance, "Didn’t we say we weren’t going to get involved with him anymore?"

Elvire was in no mood for her teasing. "I’m worried about my hospital!" she retorted angrily. "If Sean’s body explodes and he blows up the hospital, are you going to pay for it?"

Elise feigned a gasp. "I can’t afford that, I can’t afford that!" she said quickly. "It wouldn’t be enough even if you sold me."

Elvire glared. "If you can’t afford it, then shut up and come with me to keep an eye on him!"

Elise suppressed a laugh. "Yes, Miss Flame Crow."

「Ten minutes later.」

The two women left home, rushing from the residential area of Alola Town to the farm’s hospital.

Normally, Elvire needed at least half an hour to get ready to go out, a process that included a trip to the Void Technique Space.

A Wizard’s appearance in the Void Technique Space was an exact reflection of their real-world self. This was why Elvire had been so incredulous when she saw Sean completely unscathed during the Black Fruit Rainforest incident. freeweɓnøvel.com

Elvire’s makeup and grooming weren’t purely for vanity; presenting oneself in good form was also a matter of etiquette.

But this time, she was ready in just five minutes.

She even did something extremely rare: she called a car to pick her up.

It was clear that Elvire was truly frantic. freёwebnovel.com

She was silent the entire ride, simmering in the back seat.

’This time, she was going to teach that guy a good lesson. Otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee that one day, while she was just sitting at home, she wouldn’t get a message telling her to come collect Sean’s corpse.’

’She was still young; she couldn’t handle that kind of grief.’

Elvire was preparing to give Sean a piece of her mind.

But just as she arrived at the hospital entrance, before she could even go inside, Sean hit her with an even bigger one first.

The window of a hospital room on the third floor suddenly shattered, as if hit by an extremely powerful shockwave. With a loud BANG, it exploded, the entire pane of glass blasting into tiny fragments, giving the director who was waiting downstairs to greet Elvire a terrible fright.

The exploding glass wasn’t the main issue. The main issue was that she knew the layout of the rooms.

That room was Sean’s.

’Did something really happen?’

The director started to panic.

But soon, her panic turned to stunned disbelief.

Because what flew out after the window exploded wasn’t a person or an object, but an invisible, intangible, yet surging torrent of Magic Power that every Wizard could clearly feel. It even roiled the air, causing a sudden, violent gale to whip through the garden outside the main building, making the trees sway and WHOOSH.

Then, she heard wild laughter coming from upstairs.

"AHAHAHAHAHA, IT’S A SUCCESS!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Sean, on breaking through to Tier Three!"

The director: "?"

Elvire: "..."

’He... broke through? Just like that?’

She recognized the voice. It was Lante.

Even though Sean was the one who broke through, Lante sounded even happier than he did.

Elvire’s long hair whipped about in the chaotic wind. She looked up at the turbulent air currents, unsure of what she was supposed to feel...

Joy?

Shock?

Or the relief of a weight finally being lifted from her chest?

...No, it was none of those.

’She should still be angry.’

’That detestable guy not only hid the fact that he was taking a High-Potency Magic Potion, but he even broke through in secret. Didn’t that mean she had come all this way for nothing?’

Elise seemed to read the girl’s thoughts. While inwardly marveling at the terrifying speed of Sean’s improvement, she asked Elvire, "Should we still go up?"

"Of course."

’We’re already here. Wouldn’t it make her look foolish not to go up?’

"Don’t think you can just put on a show for me and this will all be over," Elvire said, clenching her fists. "He still needs to be taught a lesson, and I’m going to be the one to do it."

"No problem." Elise agreed that they should deal with one thing at a time, but...

"Before we go up, can you wipe that smile off your face first?"

Elvire: "..."

’Were the corners of her mouth turned up?’

’Of course not.’

"The wind is playing tricks on your eyes," Elvire said, her face expressionless.

She ignored Elise and walked into the hospital by herself.

Elise hurried to follow the girl, leaving the director alone in the garden to contemplate her life choices.

’If she remembered correctly, wasn’t this Mr. Sean, the one Miss Flame Crow was so concerned about, only Tier Two a short while ago?’

’Their hospital’s check-ups included a Basic Magic Power test. Sean was only at 3.15 a week ago, and now he’s over 10.0 a week later??’

’Also, why would a Tier breakthrough have the effect of shattering a window with a burst of power?’

’She was also Tier Three, and her breakthrough didn’t summon a gale of wind??’

In truth, Sean wasn’t deliberately causing a scene. It was simply that Lante’s Magic Potion was too potent. As Sean’s cells grew stronger, they initiated an autonomic process of autophagy to optimize internal space and "realign" themselves. The excess Energy was then expelled from his body to maintain equilibrium, which resulted in the spectacle from moments before.
