I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

If their issue were to worsen his condition, they would truly be at fault.

"Hasn't it been common in the past to not hear from him for a week?"

John felt somewhat baffled.

Victor often went months without contact when on assignments.

It was just a week; why the urgency?

Silver Tear was nearly in tears.

"If it had been a normal lack of news, we wouldn't have bothered you. But just a week ago, the boss sent us a message."

"It contained just one word: 'Danger!' And then, nothing. We haven't received any further messages, and no matter how we try, we can't reach him."

"At first, we thought the boss was joking with us, or perhaps hinting at some other problem."

"But no matter how many times we tried to contact him, there was no response at all from the boss. That's why we're so anxious and came to find you..."

Silver Tear clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to show his emotions, but at that moment, his heart was incredibly tense.

Even the usually composed Dark Fox seemed different now.

John frowned slightly.

Victor was always a very steady person, one who would never send such a signal lightly.

That meant one thing...

He was truly facing unspeakable danger! He couldn't even finish his sentence!

"Tell me in detail, where was the last place he appeared? And what was he there for?"

Silver Tear took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and then shared everything with John.

"The boss had gone to Alkaid to investigate some information about the Immortality Organization. This time, the information was very reliable, coming from an informant within the Immortality Organization itself."

"You know the Immortality Organization has always been a major thorn in the boss's side. With this information, he naturally rushed over immediately. We all thought it would be like before, at most clearing out a few minor outposts—nothing serious."

"But unexpectedly, that trip lasted half a month, and the last message we received was a week ago."

"At that time, you had just been discharged from the hospital, and we didn't dare disturb you. But now, we're out of options, and we had to come to you. You must help the boss!"

Silver Tear was well aware that John had now become the star of the younger generation in the alliance!

And so many wealthy young scions relied on John too.

If John were to help, he would undoubtedly be able to act faster than any of them!

"Have you spoken to Hidden Stars about this?"

Both shook their heads, indicating they were unsure about what exactly was happening and didn't know the specifics of the boss's situation, so they dared not speak out.

"The reason the boss chose to send the message to us instead of Hidden Stars, I suspect, is because he came across something he shouldn't have known. That's why it's so dangerous, and why we've come to you as a last resort."

Alkaid...

That's the most remote of the seven planets in the alliance.

It's always been a troubled place, and unexpectedly, it harbors members of the Immortality Organization.

Clearly, Victor went targeting the Immortality Organization but fell into a trap instead.

Even a person like Victor only managed to send back a single word...

John suddenly felt his heart leap into his throat.

It was hard for him to imagine what could have happened that made Victor lose his composure!

John pondered silently, while Silver Tear and Dark Fox dared not say more, waiting quietly by his side, fearful of disturbing his thoughts.

"We're leaving for Alkaid right now!"

Silver Tear's eyes widened in disbelief at John's declaration.

"Really? We're leaving now?"

Dark Fox was also stunned, not expecting John to decide to depart so swiftly.

John frowned slightly at them.

"If we don't leave now, then when?"

Hadn't they come to him seeking help? Now that he was proposing to leave, why were they hesitating?

"You've just been discharged from the hospital, can you really endure such a long journey? Maybe rest a bit longer, and then we..."

Dark Fox's words were abruptly cut off by John.

"The message you mentioned was from a week ago, and so much time has already passed. Who knows what's happened by now? Are we supposed to just keep waiting?"

The two exchanged looks, involuntarily clenching their teeth, no longer daring to say more.

Indeed, the last message was already a week old; they really couldn't afford any more delays.

"Alright, then let's set off right now."

Silver Tear didn't hesitate at all, immediately preparing to charter a spacecraft to Alkaid.

They could only understand what had truly happened and grasp the situation by reaching there as quickly as possible.

Otherwise...

A sense of worry added to Dark Fox's apprehension.

Besides anxiety, there was no other feeling in his heart.

John was also making preparations as quickly as possible, but just as they arrived at the spaceport, he suddenly received a notification.

[Your mission has not been completed; you may not depart.]

At the same time, John received a message from Principal Sophia, asking him to return to the school.

John was stunned by the information.

What did it mean? What was this about not being able to leave without completing the mission? Since when did Hidden Stars have such a rule?

Looking at the message from Principal Sophia, John clenched his teeth, instinctively feeling that it might be related to the current situation!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just as he was about to leave, he received this message?

He would never believe there was no connection.

"What's wrong?"

Silver Tear asked with some concern.

Dark Fox also looked at John with a questioning gaze, seemingly eager to know what exactly was happening.

With a sense of helplessness, John pulled up his mission panel and showed it to them briefly.

After explaining what had just happened, the two exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"This has never happened before. We've always been running tasks from one end of the world to the other; why can't we leave today?"

If they couldn't leave without completing tasks, how could Hidden Stars possibly keep going?

Over the years, it would have surely been turned upside down by various awakeners.

John slightly lowered his gaze, concealing the strange feeling deep inside him.

"I'm afraid this has something to do with the previous attack on the Star Cluster Academy."

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just as he was about to leave, he received such a message?

Principal Sophia wouldn't send such information without a reason.

"Why don't you go back for a bit?"

Silver Tear and Dark Fox had also heard about the interference in the Star Cluster Academy's assessments and knew just how shocking the incident was!

After all, it is Star Cluster Academy, the top-ranked higher education institution in the alliance!

The annual assessment was ruined by the Dusk Sect!

Moreover, students from various noble families nearly lost their lives inside—how could such major news go unnoticed?

John didn't speak, but suddenly felt a new sense of urgency inside him.

If these two incidents were indeed closely related, then Victor's disappearance might not be a simple matter!

Could it be that the Immortality Organization and the Dusk Sect had actually joined forces? Then...

What exactly is involved here, and what had Victor discovered to prompt such drastic actions by these people?

What role does Principal Sophia play in all this? What does she know?

With boundless doubts, John bid farewell to the two and quickly returned to the academy.
