He must strategically acquire the Mysterious Academy’s space while ensuring its integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi feels overwhelmed with tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not even Level 5 yet, merely Level 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calimduo claims to dislike the mountain situation yet waits patiently for Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Gu Xi finishes tidying, Calimduo promptly opens another teleportation gate for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Gu Xi steps into the teleportation gate, he feels a shift underfoot, plunging headfirst into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Gu Xi reacts swiftly, summoning a Water Dragon Beast to lift him onto the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he is thoroughly soaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging to the Water Dragon Beast, Gu Xi notices Calimduo, eyes brimming with amusement, observing him drenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did it on purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi doesn’t let Calimduo off the hook simply because they’re in the same team and pointedly confronts him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it was an accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calimduo barely finishes speaking when Miranda chimes in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did it deliberately; that’s his quirk. Don’t worry, you can counter him directly if needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Miranda’s nonchalant attitude towards the chaos, Gu Xi senses something off about this Mysterious Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither Calimduo nor Miranda seems inclined to elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calimduo simply gestures towards the lake while a crocodile flips belly-up and floats to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crocodile is as long as a train carriage segment, with limbs markedly swollen and skin seemingly bursting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the crocodile’s belly, Gu Xi realizes this creature has been dead for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping onto the crocodile, Miranda appears puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven’t given up after all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Sam bore the Sword of Leadership for the Crocodile Academy for years, and every graduate remembers him.

When Lamida joined the academy, he was the department head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He represents the standard Mysterious Academy process, progressing from faculty member to professor, then department head, eventually dean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So regardless of his name, seeing such a senior, it’s customary to call him Professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he’s somewhat of an exception within the Mysterious Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others perished due to major incidents within the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he, transformed into an oil painting after death, was hung in the academy. After a major incident, influenced by the Aura of Death, he revived unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Post-revival, retaining a degree of authority as former dean, he protected a group of students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he lacked ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now things have changed. Calimduo approached him, negotiated some terms, enticing him to join Calimduo’s team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he will become a department head, even leveraging this capability to become the new academy’s first Dean of the Undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he needs to do is quite simple, as Black-robed Skeleton Naviduo holds some dean-level authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was automatically distributed to other department heads upon the academy dean’s demise and incidents involving vice-deans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite its low priority control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor’s role is singular: when they attack Naviduo, he disrupts Naviduo’s authority control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Naviduo loses authority, everything else simplifies, allowing Calimduo and Miranda to resolve everything here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they won’t disclose this; they’re waiting for the last person to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf6e99c5076684ec657726f758eef387e180efdbe5911b2d8a3f37f3246679f3","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-472","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-470",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
