BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39 Flinging Out An Archmage
Heavenly Magic Academy.
Lucan was on his way to his dormitory room to rest. He had been practicing non-stop without a care for the world.
\'If I can\'t last that long, I\'ll make sure I will!\', he swore in his heart.
The previous defeat against the dark luminous wolves awakened the urgency in his heart to train more and more each day.
His mana capacity right now was equivalent to a trainee mage at the full ring.
Just as he passed through the main hall, the teleportation magic formation lit up, shocking Lucan.
…
Elder Flock stared at the large main hall he was teleported into. He immediately felt an overwhelming aura.
\'Th-this is?\'
"Elder Flock, we have arrived at the Heavenly Magic Academy. Please stay here. I will tell my master that I have returned.", Eluard said before dragging Dartex away.
"Uh… yes…", Elder Flock dazedly replied.
He never expected to step afoot the fabled magic academy in his whole life.
"Who\'s there? Lucan, what happened here?!", Olivia and the rest arrived.
They then saw Elder Flock and Eluard standing on top of the center of the magic formation.
Eluard smiled and put on an act.
"It\'s nice to finally meet you, Lucan, Olivia, Emi, and Jinmu."
"Who are you? I don\'t know you!", Lucan retorted.
"Oh, I guess master hasn\'t introduced me to you. How heartbreaking.", Eluard patted his heart.
Everyone except Jinmu became wary of Eluard\'s identity. However, Jinmu got a hold of what was happening.
"Ah, you must be our senior brother then. I am Jinmu Lin, may I know of senior\'s name?"
The other three looked at Jinmu with surprise.
In Jinmu\'s mind, nobody but the academy master has the right to use the teleportation magic formation in the school.
If somebody else could use it then that someone must be related to the academy master.
He then concluded that this person might be the academy master\'s direct disciple. As for whether the academy master forgot to tell them about it or not, it wasn\'t a problem Jinmu would think deeply.
Eluard\'s eyebrows raised at Jinmu, "Oho, at least someone from your group is intelligent enough to recognize their seniors."
Jinmu smiled.
"Anyway, I won\'t be bothering you for long. Master has called out for me. We\'ll meet again on another time."
Eluard waved goodbye while dragging Dartex\'s unconscious body.
"It is unexpecting to meet you here, Prince Lucan Hermes.", Elder Flock said out loud.
"I\'m sorry but you are?", Lucan asked.
"I\'m Elder Flock from the League of Wizardry. I heard that Prince Dexter has taken over the title of the Crown Prince from you?", Elder Flock chuckled.
The three of them gasped as the old man introduced himself.
"E-elder Flock? The 2nd High Magister from the League of Wizardry? I-is it you?", Jinmu almost lost his cool.
A High Magister was equivalent to an archmage. Those who cultivated magic would be as surprised as they are if they happen to stumble upon one in their lifetime.
Elder Flock laughed at the reaction of the 3 students, then wondered why Emi didn\'t react to him at all.
Olivia grabbed Emi and bowed to Elder Flock.
"Ah, forgive me, elder. Emi has only started her cultivation a while ago. She isn\'t that knowledgeable yet about the League of Wizardry and other things."
Elder Flock coughed, "It\'s not that of a matter to me."
…
Meanwhile, Eluard made haste to his office. He already transferred Dartex to a prison cell down under and immediately put on his mask and robe.
He planned to receive his rewards later. Attending to Elder Flock was more urgent than anything else.
Just as the five people in the main hall were having a joyous talk, Eluard suddenly arrived in front of them.
"You must be Elder Flock that my disciple was talking earlier.", his cold voice resounded.
Elder Flock turned to check out this newcomer but to his surprise, just like Mr. Kai from before, he was unable to measure out this robed person\'s power at all.
He was about to greet Eluard when the latter waved his hands, "Spare the pleasantries. I know you\'re not here to simply introduce yourself to me, don\'t you?"
Eluard then dismissed the 4 students by prompting their system panels. The four bowed at Eluard and left the area.
"It is very bold of you to challenge the identity of my disciple and use it to your advantage to enter the academy and transfer Dartex\'s custody from yours to our hands, Flock Gamble."
Hearing his last name made Elder Flock nervous. He had yet to speak something but the other party knew his full identity.
"If I was the most ruthless academy master of this academy, I would\'ve turned you to dust and shattered your existence in the history of Aludia.", Eluard warned, glaring at Elder Flock with his mask\'s slithered eyes.
The old man found himself being pressured all of a sudden. It was so strong that he knelt in front of Eluard.
Then, he realized that his power was suppressed.
\'My-my powers! Where did they go?\'
Meanwhile, Eluard\'s eyes glinted coldly, \'Oh system, you didn\'t tell me I could play with people like this.\'
He took a look at Elder Flock\'s attributes. The old man\'s power was now only at a trainee mage\'s level. With this, he continued on his ramblings.
"I can\'t imagine how the League has started being this conceited in front of the academy that brought them the history they have today. Do you want me to remind you how your predecessors begged to us in hopes that we would recognize them?"
The pressure became stronger. Now, Elder Flock\'s head was planted on the ground like a dead dog. He was starting to regret underestimating the Heavenly Magic Academy.
Heavenly Magic Academy wasn\'t tied to any factions, nor would it ever want to.
Regardless of one\'s origins or current strength, all of it was trivial in face of the fabled magic academy. There was a reason the Otherworld and the Heavenly Magic Academy were sworn rivals in the past, in the present, and the future.
And that was the overwhelming power it contained that Elder Flock was experiencing right now.
\'This… is this the power of the academy master? Even the Magi Elder isn\'t this powerful when he gets angry!\'
The Magi Elder was the highest and strongest existence in the League of Wizardry rumored to be on the level of a supreme archmage. For Eluard to suppress Elder Flock easily meant that even the Magi Elder couldn\'t hold a candle to him at all.
He forced his head to look above. The glare from Eluard\'s mask him of his worst nightmares.
A never-ending suffering in a cold world whose harsh reality almost made him die due to hopelessness.
He wanted it to end but Eluard wasn\'t one to easily stop.
"Since you dared to test my student, I\'m going to test you as well. It\'s-"
Just as he was about to think he was to die, Elder Flock immediately prostrated to Eluard and loudly proclaimed.
"Please spare me academy master! I\'m willing to work under you but please spare my life!"
He felt that if this went on any longer, his heart won\'t be able to take more of it. The higher one\'s power went, the more fear they would have on those who were stronger than them.
After all, they had seen much of the world at that point and were conscious enough to always put their own survival against anything else.
Moreover, Elder Flock saw this as a chance to improve his power. If he could get into the Heavenly Magic Academy, he would be able to use the knowledge and treasures to reach the realm of a supreme archmage.
Unfortunately, Eluard saw through his scheme.
"Hehehe, do you think I would easily accept someone like you into my ranks?", Eluard rejected his proposal, "I could travel to distant worlds and I can still find as many as you are like cabbages in the market."
He was planning to put on the mask of a condescending academy master. He would lose his superiority if he would let people into the academy just because they begged for it.
One had to earn their worth for them to be given their rewards.
"So tell me, Flock Gamble? How worthy are you compared to others?", Eluard stepped on the old man.
Elder Flock laid there silently, unable to come up with a special reason for Eluard to accept him.
"Hmph, just as I thought.", Eluard kicked him, "But don\'t worry, I will consider once you have done enough. For now, get out of my face."
Eluard said before flinging Elder Flock out of the academy and teleporting him back to Aludia.
