Chapter 421 : Janna’s Popularity
Chapter 421 : Janna’s Popularity
"Sometimes, the choice of a 【Primary Law】 doesn’t necessarily have to depend on a 【Wizard Talent】. Inner conviction is far more important than talent itself."At Clororo-Kim's sudden shift in topic, Janna merely nodded, somewhat understanding, somewhat confused.
As strangers meeting by chance, Janna didn’t know what exactly Clororo-Kim’s intention was in suddenly telling her all this.
However, Janna’s sixth sense told her that the origin of Clororo-Kim’s words wasn’t driven by any malice.
"Alright, leave your address. I’ll send the customized witch tool to you later."
Having closed the previous topic, Clororo-Kim returned to his original stern demeanor. After handing Janna a form, he quietly sat to the side, saying nothing more.
"I’ve filled it out, Lord Clororo."
The form was simple. Aside from her address, it only requested basic personal information about Janna. She finished filling it out quickly and handed it to Clororo-Kim.
"Good. That’ll do."
Taking the form from Janna, Clororo-Kim checked it over and gave a nod of approval.
"Lord Clororo, is there anything else I need to do—"
"No need. You may leave."

"Alright, thank you for everything."
Hearing Clororo-Kim’s response, Janna bowed politely, then quietly left the waiting room.
"Janna, we’re over here—"
Just as she stepped out the door, she saw Gawen-Tull not far off, waving to her.
"Congratulations, champion! Your entire performance was absolutely amazing!"
At that moment, the only ones outside the waiting room were Gawen-Tull and Goblin Billy.
"Thanks— Oh right, where’s Professor Mage?"
"Professor Mage had something come up and had to leave. What a pity—she didn’t get to see you win the championship."
Hearing Gawen-Tull’s words, Janna—knowing the situation—simply nodded in coordination. Then she smiled and looked at Gawen-Tull.
"This afternoon is your main event. I’ll be cheering you on properly."
At Janna’s words, Gawen-Tull just shrugged casually.
"Doesn’t matter if you’re there or not. My exam is closed off anyway. It won’t be released to the public."
At 1 p.m., Gawen-Tull’s evaluation for the 【Wizard Invention】 would be held inside the 【Glory Arena】.
However, the location was in a sealed space one level underground, and the entire process was confidential. Aside from the final results, even rankings wouldn’t be announced.
"Ladies, there’s still an hour until one o’clock. I’ve already booked a private room at the restaurant in advance. If it’s convenient, we can head out now."
Seeing that Janna had exited the waiting room, Goblin Billy timely offered a reminder.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Billy."
"You're too kind. Serving you both is my honor—Oh right, Miss Janna, this is the 【Invisibility Rune】 left for you by Lord Mage. She said you might need it now."
Looking at the palm-sized hexagonal rune with complex magic patterns handed over by Goblin Billy, a trace of surprise flickered in Janna’s eyes.
"Professor Mage is always so thoughtful."
Watching Janna receive the 【Invisibility Rune】 from Goblin Billy, Gawen-Tull couldn’t help but sigh.
With the curtain falling on the 【Andrew-Gamp Transfiguration Trial】, Janna, as the first-place winner, had become explosively popular within the Elemental Soul Wizard gathering grounds.
Not to mention the throngs of reporters clustering around the entrance—just the thousands of fanatical spectators remaining inside still hoping to catch a glimpse of her was staggering.
So, without using special measures, it would be quite the challenge for Janna to leave quietly.
"So? Are you planning to use the rune now, or meet your fans first before using it?"
"Let’s use it now."
As a popular opera actress, Janna had ample experience avoiding reporters and obsessive fans.
And to ensure that Gawen-Tull could attend his exam on time that afternoon, it was best not to stir up any unnecessary commotion.
"Let’s go."
Injecting magic power into the 【Invisibility Rune】, Janna’s body—and even her shadow on the ground—vanished completely.
Seeing this, Gawen-Tull and Goblin Billy pushed open the underground waiting hall’s door, acting like two bodyguards as they escorted Janna through the crowd toward the parking area.
"Ladies, I’ll go bring the carriage around. Just wait for me at the back gate."
Seeing that the reporters in the parking lot had already surrounded their carriage, Goblin Billy had no choice but to give Janna and Gawen-Tull a heads-up,
then charged into the parking lot “alone,” heading in the direction of the carriage.
"Pfft, such terrifying popularity. Being your friend sure is stressful."
Watching Goblin Billy stumble his way up to the carriage, Gawen-Tull, who had been observing the whole thing, couldn’t help but shake her head.
And upon hearing Gawen-Tull’s mutter, Janna suddenly remembered that Vivian had once said the exact same thing.
"I wonder how Vivian is doing now—"
It took about ten minutes before Goblin Billy managed to drive the carriage out from the inner field of the 【Glory Arena】.
Even as he picked up the two of them, Janna could still see reporters not far from the carriage, desperately trying to get their exclusive shots.
Even after they entered the restaurant, the reporters—still having failed to catch a glimpse of Janna—remained stationed at the entrance, refusing to leave.
"These reporters are really like clingy plaster. You just can’t shake them off."
Peeking through the curtains at the reporters still loitering outside, even though Gawen-Tull wasn’t the one being followed, she couldn’t help but grumble on Janna’s behalf.
"Mr. Billy, is Professor Mage really not coming back today?"
At that moment, seeing that Lilith-Mage still hadn’t appeared in the restaurant’s private room, Janna couldn’t help but ask Goblin Billy.
"I’m not entirely sure myself, but I suspect that Lord Mage should be able to finish her matters and return before evening—"
Hearing Goblin Billy’s words, Janna could only nod. After a few bites of steak, she set down her knife and fork, eating no more.
"Janna, you’re done already?"
Gawen-Tull, just about to dig into her neatly sliced steak, asked in mild surprise upon seeing Janna put down her utensils.
"Mm, I have a press conference to attend this afternoon, so I shouldn't eat too much—"
