Chapter 178 - Amanda's Shocking Declaration
Rolaf pointed towards the mother orb in Arthur's hands as he hurriedly shouted back:
"The mother orb is intact, how come I destroyed the daughter?"
"Then bring it to me to see now," Amanda simply declared, making Rolaf stutter and not knowing what to say!
He already destroyed the daughter, but he couldn't tell them that!
"How should I know that? I'm not the one responsible for managing the orb test. just ask him, he is the one responsible for that, not me!" he shamelessly said, throwing everything over the shoulders of the poor mage, who couldn't believe how shameless Rolaf was.
Before this poor mage could say anything, Amanda said:
"You are the head master of this test. if you couldn't even know what your direct followers are doing, how can we trust you to be the head of this test?"
Her words were direct and heavy, and her tone was loud so everyone here could clearly hear her. She didn't care about anyone's image or reputation, as she was like a sharp sword, making a single mistake and she wouldn't hesitate to ruthlessly cut you in half in front of everyone's eyes!
"From this moment on, you are relieved from your duties as the head master of this test. You will go and confine yourself at the supreme council until the next meeting, not to see anyone, not to meet anyone, not to talk to anyone. Violate my orders, and I won't hesitate to severe your head off your shoulders."
Her decree was direct and severe as usual, and Rolaf knew he had already fallen so deep into the pit he had dug with his own hands. he opened his mouth once, but the cold glance he received from everyone of the great five in front of him made him stop, swallow any defensive words he planned to use, and started to move, dejectedly, away from here, vanishing behind the academy gate.
Just simply like that, a mighty being for everyone, untouchable master, was treated with such severity when he broke the laws.
The academy was famous for her strict rules, as long as you didn't get caught, you can do whatever you want, but if you once got caught, you wouldn't have a way out of your crimes, no matter who you were, or who you had as a backing!
"You, go back to the academy and inform the supreme council main attendant there with my orders. Then head straight towards the infirmary, and have yourself treated. Also make the attendant send one in your replacement," Amanda said, as she then turned her gaze towards Arthur, closely watching the changes that were occurring to his body with much interest.
As for the other four around her, she never glanced for them even once to take their opinions about her decisions. This was her nature, and they didn't find any insult on her behavior.
As for Cesile, she was the happiest one here, as the mage she spotted before coming here turned out to be such a prodigy!
She knew Arthur was special, but she never imagined he would be as such! She watched, with the other four beside her, Arthur and waited for his training to finish.
This wasn't a test anymore, it was a training session he was having right now, and a very high quality one!
"How much longer will he be able to maintain this miraculous state?" Otman suddenly asked, as he was very interested in Arthur right now.
"It's so hard to tell, as the records of old stated different times of the over fifty mages achieving such feat," Amanda replied with her calm cold tone, "but no one had every exceeded the mark of two hours," she then turned to glance at one mage of those who were assisting Rolaf from before and asked:
"How much time has elapsed since his test started?"
The mage was startled, and he hurriedly replied, in an extreme respectful tone:
"He has lasted for one hour currently, esteemed vice dean."
"Hmm, so he has another one hour then," Amanda muttered, before saying, "Alright, let's all wait here for him to finish, and Cesile this gem can't be eaten by you alone."
"What?!" Cesile exclaimed out in shock, as she complained like a little girl, "that's unfair! I already told you before about him."
"You little rascal played us all! you said he was an interesting promising mage, not a prodigy one!" the giant Slone standing on a sword said, as he was joking with Cesile.
"That's not fair!" she again repeated her only complaint, despite knowing that her cause was already lost. Her main competitors were eyeing Arthur already. "I didn't know he was such a prodigy! You should commend me on my superb eyes, not reprimand me like this," she added, while pouting out her lips in a childish way.
"Oh, you did great, you really have great eyes, but this mage isn't yours, he has to choose personally between the five of us," Otman spoke up, with a joking tone, as he was already very happy with Amanda's decree.
Everyone here knew that Amanda's words had their weight, and they weren't casual at all. Any single word she said was a decision, and no one could make her return in her decision, except the dean.
"You are treating me ill, I will complain to Mr. E when he comes back!"
"Go and weep even to him, he won't respond to your pleadings, so just try to think of ways to beat us," Amanda said, as she stated her desire to gain this mage.
"Us?! Are you planning to compete with the four of us over him?" Ercary, the only mage who remained silent all this time suddenly spoke up, with his whale-like flying monster over a large pillow of cloud like a big bed for his monster exclaimed out in shock.
"Yes, aren't I allowed to add more disciples under me?" Amanda simply replied, like this was something usual and normal to occur.
