Chapter 177 - Facing The Questions Of The Big Five!
"What did you just say?" Amanda asked, as she narrowed her eyes, and this move made the mage sent by the head master lose his control over his legs, which went so soft already, making his clash hardly on the ground with both of his knees.
"Sigh, it seems that Rolaf has gone beyond his limits again, blinded with his greed," Cesile sighed, before adding, "let's go, I want to see this mage already, and might as well extend an invitation to him or her."
"Cesile! You already got one to join your faction from the new mages! Leave that one to the poor me," Otman hurriedly complained, while the five of them left, heading straight towards the gate of the academy.
The poor mage sent by Rolaf sighed in relief, as he thought for a moment there his life would be taken by the vice dean!
Rolaf didn't know he caused such great trouble to himself. He never imagined such a young mage would cause enough stir, enough to attract the attention of such big shots.
They descended upon him like a calamity befalling silently without any warning. Just as he noticed their mighty presence, he swallowed his dry throat as he muttered to himself, inwardly cursing:
"What this useless one did exactly?!! I'm going to kill him!!!"
"Oho, this is quite a surprise indeed," Cesile shouted in great surprise when her eyes fell upon the mage who was causing such a stir. She never imagined Arthur to be the one causing this ruckus already!
"Do you know him?" Amanda asked.
"Yes, he is the mage I told you about from before," she giggled as she replied with much pride and ecstasy.
"No way, how your luck is always domineering!" Otman complained loudly, as the other two beside him just shook their heads in regret. This golden boy had already fallen in the hands of Cesile, and that would be a great boost to her future strength without doubt.
"This mage is really interesting," Amanda suddenly commented, while her eyes shone, with an extremely rare light of admiration, "he can absorb all the five energies at the same time, and his body is doing a great job shouldering them all!" she added, as she stated what her keen and superb eyes noticed.
"All the five at once? that's very rare!" one of the three male mages replied, as he had a very giant body reaching five meters in length, with broad muscles and long hair, gathered together in a long cylindrical golden ore that made it take the shape of a curved sword, like the legendary one he was standing above right now.
"That's extremely rare, I only heard of a dozen mages before achieving this feat in the long history of the academy," Cesile hurriedly added, taking pride in the achievements of her disciple as her own.
"It's not a dozen, it's over fifty mages, making this not a very rare thing," Amanda commented, correcting the wrong Cesile just made, "but what makes him unique is his extraordinary ability to utilize the five energies simultaneously, without his body being shattered from the toll of them combined," she added, while stating the unique point in Arthur's performance.
The five totally ignored Rolaf, and that was quite expected, as his position in the supreme council of the academy was much lower than them. this didn't irritate him, in fact he prayed they would keep ignoring him like that, and soon leave this place for good.
However, his dreams were shattered the next moment, as Cesile glanced at him as she said in a cold tone:
"So, you were trying to scheme against my disciple, huh?!"
Her words made his face change, as he hurriedly defended himself:
"This isn't true, I tried to be fair here."
"Fair? How come this disciple got in contact with fire and ice energies from the beginning?" Amanda was the one to speak up, as she addressed Arthur as being already a disciple in the academy, not just a random mage. "Who is in charge of controlling the orb test?" she added, totally ignoring the about to freak out Rolaf, as she passed her gaze over the extremely terrified mages behind him.
"M-M- Me," the poor mage who had a backlash from trying to shut down the orb forcibly replied, coming from the distance with a ashen white face, and a big palm mark over his.
Amanda just glanced silently at him, while Cesile raised one eyebrow as she muttered:
"You went too far this time Rolaf, did you hit the mage to force him in doing what you desire?"
"No, that's nonsense, I didn't do anything to him," Rolaf replied, as he glanced with extreme threatening gaze towards the mage, who was now feeling himself coming so near from the death doorsteps, and this feeling gave him such a feeling that he never cared about anything anymore!
"No, you are a liar!" the mage bellowed with extreme hatred and anger boiling in his tone, "he had forced me to manipulate the test, and asked me to shut down the test using the orb's daughter, and when I got a backlash from it, he just slapped me, ruthlessly, aiming to kill me, and he shattered the orb's daughter with his own hands!"
"That's a lie, this is a dirty scheme to destroy me!" Rolaf hurriedly shouted back, trying to defend himself. after all, his word was now against this mere weaker mage, that no one would ever notice.
"Really?" however, he underestimated his current crisis he was in right now, "then where is the orb's daughter?" Cesile asked with an extremely cold tone, as everyone here knew what it meant for destroying the orb's daughter when a mage was using the mother in training or at a test!
If he crushed the orb's daughter, and succeeded in shattering the mother orb, Arthur would be subjected to a severe backlash already, making him lose a lot of his gains, and also be weakened for a very long time.
