The vice-principal, originally the head of the Mountain Leopard Department, stole the principal’s permissions and disappeared along with the main building of the academy into some space and time void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with them disappeared part of the permissions held by the department heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each department head has a portion of permissions primarily used to manage students in their department and their own teaching specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there are the professors, who also hold some permissions. Some, due to their long tenure or unique abilities, have higher permissions than some department heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Soul-controlling Bell mentioned by Gu Xi is a crucial part of the academy’s defense system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it should be in the hands of the principal and vice-principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the professors of Golem Science and Puppetry also have a copy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why there are extra Soul-controlling Bells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many such items, but few as important as the Soul-controlling Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vega dared not touch this Soul-controlling Bell, fearing that as soon as it was in his hands, he would lose his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only aspire to the next level of permission, that of the faculty staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These faculty staff are not professors, mainly including librarians, Forbidden Forest guardians, and key managers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have relatively special permissions that don’t serve much purpose, mainly to assist students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, at the lowest level, are the students’ permissions. Students can study in the academy and can learn at least four basic skills, or other skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest, there’s nothing more, but the academy guarantees every student who enters stays alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Vega actually glanced at Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity for you, coming in when the academy is like this, you technically aren’t even considered a student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I’m not considered a student? Then can I bypass academy rules and learn more skills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vega had no idea how to respond to Gu Xi’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his opinion, the question Gu Xi raised was completely unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traditionally, at the Mysterious Academy, learning has always been four skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can learn fewer, but never more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To even think about breaking academy rules, that’s simply impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Vega was contemplating how to explain to Gu Xi that only four skills could be learned at the Mysterious Academy, a voice sounded from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not possible. Regardless of the era, students can only learn four basic skills in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I can help you with something. You seem not to have learned anything; what you have mastered here was obtained as a reward for helping the department head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can help you enroll, giving you a chance to enroll again and learn four basic skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Xi was shocked and looked in the direction the voice came from, only to find a woman over five meters tall walking towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was not in the skeleton status Gu Xi had seen outside the academy; her skin was somewhat pale, resembling Di Mi’s skin condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clad in a skirt-style armor made of red and black iron plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When walking forward, she could do so silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was moving, Gu Xi also noticed that a large amount of white steam was emitted from her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few steps, she stopped about thirty meters in front of Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She first surveyed the surroundings, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Miranda, head of the Bat Department. I heard from Vega that you have the Soul-controlling Bell? How about making a deal with me? I can guarantee you a chance to re-enroll.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Xi was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could truly re-enroll, handing over a Soul-controlling Bell, which was useless to him, wasn’t out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giving the Soul-controlling Bell to you would be a waste, Miranda. You should know your capabilities; you can’t beat Naviduo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, another voice emerged, and a normal-sized skeleton walked out from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This skeleton was wearing a black robe and carried a magic staff with a fist-sized diamond embedded in the staff head, with a silver longsword hanging from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When moving forward, blue magic arrays occasionally appeared under his feet, allowing him to teleport forward a distance instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few steps, he also reached about thirty meters from Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi noticed that he seemed to be standing within ten meters of Miranda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they knew each other and seemed to have a fairly good relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Calimduo, head of the Crocodile Department. I saw you on the lake before; you rode the train after that and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally wanted to communicate with you, but you got off the train in the mountains, where I had reasons not to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I missed the chance to meet you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I wouldn’t have come to find you if I hadn’t heard someone was inquiring about selling the Soul-controlling Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s you who took the Soul-controlling Bell that Naviduo wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s the kind of person who always treats students as pawns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never tells others what he really wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, what he wants always gets treated as trash or unneeded items, picked up or thrown away by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he always ends up in this situation, facing such occurrences every time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calimduo mocked Naviduo, the black-robed skeleton Gu Xi encountered, laughing at his futile efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mocking, Calimduo shifted tone, \"With the Soul-controlling Bell in your hands now, Naviduo will certainly try to snatch it back. Holding onto it is a waste; why not cooperate with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi glanced at Calimduo and then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cooperation is fine, but Lady Miranda just offered me the opportunity to enroll in the academy again; what can I gain by cooperating with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miranda can’t beat Naviduo,\" Calimduo scoffed at Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what? You don’t expect me to wait here till you finish fighting and rebuild the academy, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi’s face showed disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I definitely need to hold onto the academy’s admission ticket. Once the academy is rebuilt, I’ll just use the ticket to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe, no matter who wins, you won’t deny this admission ticket, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","8739c481a65c0ba4aa50b2d348000c140a1571e1ed4066100d4ce4bb5306ef23","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-470","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-468",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
