Chapter 12: High School Classmate? The Apollo in the Novel?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roosevelt smiled and answered, “If he is a famous mage, why would he hide his appearance under the flames?”
“However, we have some information regarding this mysterious expert already.”
He flipped open a file on his desk.
“The same thing happened yesterday. A demonic creature appeared in the San Francisco Federal Building.”
“The new members of our Magical Investigation Unit are studying as third year students in the Andrich Magic Academy. They encountered danger in the building and were saved by a mysterious expert.”
“Mysterious expert?” Alice’s eyes instantly became fiery.
“That’s right. Just as you thought, this mysterious expert is shrouded in flames and is extremely powerful!”
“This mysterious expert calls himself Apollo.”
“Apollo…” Alice murmured while lost in thought.
After two seconds, Alice seemed to have remembered something. She patted Bruce’s shoulder and said anxiously, “Quickly check if there is anyone called Apollo in the National Mage Records!”
Roosevelt burst out laughing.
“You’re usually quite quick-witted. Why aren’t you using your brain at this time? Since we have this expert’s name, it is obvious that I have already investigated it.”
“What’s the result?”
Captain Roosevelt shook his head, “None of the mages in the country are called Apollo.”
“How can this be?” Alice said in disbelief.
All the mages in the country had undergone magic awakening. When their magic was awakened, their identity would be registered.
If the name Apollo was not recorded in the book, it meant that this mysterious expert was using a fake name.
“That’s for sure. This Apollo attacked twice and used flames to cover his face the entire time. He just does not want anyone to recognize him. How can he possibly reveal his real name?”
As Roosevelt spoke, he realized that Alice had suddenly closed her eyes.
“Apollo… where have I heard this name before?”
“Of course you’ve heard of it. The Sun God in Greek mythology is called Apollo,” Bruce, who was beside her, laughed and replied.
He felt that Alice was somewhat obsessed and did not seem to be in the right state of mind.
“No, no. Someone I know has something to do with the name Apollo.”
“Try to recall it then.” This time, even Captain Roosevelt was interested.
That was a peak-level Advanced Mage. According to Bruce and Alice’s description, this mysterious expert sounded very young. He was probably around twenty years old.
What kind of talent was it to be able to become an Advanced Mage at such a young age?
There was only one person in San Francisco who was so talented, and that was Alice.
She and Chu He were classmates in the same high school, so their age was naturally the same. It was just that she had just become an Advanced Mage half a month ago, so her strength was not too strong.
The difference in power level between Advanced Mages was very complicated.
Advanced Mages who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation were very powerful. For example, Roosevelt had two magical attributes at the same time. If he had to deal with an Advanced Mage like Alice, he could deal with ten of her alone.
Alice suddenly opened her eyes and shouted: “I heard this name in high school!”
She hurriedly took out her phone and made a call.
She had been very cold and aloof in high school, so she did not have many friends of the same gender, there were only two or three of them.
She was calling one of them now.
“Hello? Sasha, do you remember if someone was called Apollo at our high school?” Alice asked hurriedly after the phone call got through.
“Apollo?” The girl who answered the call was puzzled.
“We didn’t have any classmates called Apollo in high school.”
“Really?” Alice frowned.
But Sasha continued, “There was a boy in our class called Chu He who liked to spend time writing novels online. He seemed to have written a character called Apollo.”
Alice’s eyes lit up. After hearing what Sasha said, memories came back to her.
Back then, the novel written by Chu He was quite popular on the Internet. Many people in the class had read it, and Alice was no exception. Although she was aloof, it did not mean that she had no curiosity.
Although she was not familiar with Chu He, she found the novel written by him rather interesting. After so many years, she had almost forgotten the content of the book. However, the protagonist of that novel was indeed named Apollo.
“Do you have Chu He’s contact information?”
“I think his contact number is written on his Facebook. I’ll help you find it.”
Not long after the call ended, Sasha called back.
“Alice, I didn’t find Chu He’s number, but there’s a class reunion coming up. He’ll probably attend it. When the time comes, we’ll have a chance to meet him?”
“Okay.”
“I must find him, please help me!”
Alice thanked her afterwards. With her aloof personality, she did not have much contact with her old classmates. She had to rely on Sasha entirely.
After ending the phone call again, Alice recalled the earlier scene.
The mysterious expert’s voice just now…
It was somewhat familiar indeed.
However, she did not have much contact with Chu He in high school, so she could not confirm it.
“I don’t know if it’s really him…” Alice shook her head, she could only confirm it after they met.
