Chapter 183 - The Great Clans And Guilds Contact Arthur Again
As for Arthur, he just put a note over Tony in his mind, before returning towards his team again. throughout the way though, he was the focus of everyone gazes.
A few were kind and showing their impressive admiration to him, while the most were brimming with hatred already. He sighed, as he didn't aim to be the public enemy, not like that.
What he didn't know, though, that his luck was really good. The previous mages who showed such a talent before were all punished secretly by Rolaf. He also was punished, but his punishment turned out to be a blessing, making him want to thank Rolaf, not kill him.
As he finally reached his team, and they welcomed his return like a king returning with the heads of his archenemies, with much pride and extreme joy.
"Great performance, our clan head is mighty!" Amelia was the first to welcome him, as her face showed a tinge of redness when her eyes directly met him.
Right now, Arthur was emitting a very masculine aura, making all the females here sweat and nervous when looking directly in his eyes.
"Thanks, tell me what happened when I was immersed in the test?" he casually asked, but his question made everyone, literally everyone jump towards him, while they started to speak all in one breath!
He raised his hand high, as he hurriedly stopped them. he then said:
"Calm down, just one person tells me what happened so I can understand!"
Noura, who was still standing in the team, took the initiative to explain what happened:
"You attracted these big shots to yourself, and made them use the legendary diagram on you, and you don't know what happened!"
She didn't inform him of anything useful, except that he got the help of big masters in the academy. "Did Cesile show up?" he asked.
"Yes, but she wasn't the highest one to appear here," Noura replied, as she identified the five masters who appeared here by a single glance, "you attracted the attention of the ice queen of the academy, you are really courageous or have a death wish or both!"
Arthur still understood nothing from her words, or why she said he had a death wish!
"Who is she? Can you explain slowly what happened?"
Ron decided to save him, as he interfered as he said:
"Five masters suddenly showed up, had a small quarrel with the previous master leading this test, before he went inside the academy, and a new one just appeared. Ah, in the middle of their presence, they did gather around you and did something that resembled a big star. After that they left, and Cesile was with them."
Ron's words made him understand the general events that happened during he was in his test. he then turned to Noura, who hurriedly said, with a joking tone:
"These weren't just normal masters, but five of the top five masters in the academy, led by Lady Amanda herself, the famous ice queen, the vice dean of our academy!"
Noura's words made Arthur be more interested, as he asked, and he already knew the answer to his:
"Is she higher than Cesile?"
"She is, but don't dream of cursing yourself and think of joining her faction."
Noura's reply startled him, as he stopped at her comment and asked again:
"What curse? Isn't she the vice dean? Much stronger than Cesile?"
"Sigh," she shook her head, before she added, "she had an accident back in her early days, as her first student betrayed the academy, and she had to kill him. This topic is considered a taboo, as she didn't jump over it even after the passage of all these years. Up till now, she didn't accept any student to be under her, not a single one!"
Noura wanted to make him let go of this crazy idea, however her words made him more interested, as he asked:
"Was she the one that jumped first to me?"
"You mean inspected your body? I think she is, after all we were all right here, far away from the centre of commotion around you."
Noura's answer was enough for him, as he now understood that Amanda had helped him already, showing her interest in him.
He also felt some gratitude for her, as she had stepped in the decisive moment, changing the dark fate he would have faced if he stood against that cursed book alone.
He recalled that book, as he had already saved the two halved parts of it. he didn't know if it lost its functions or not, but he stored it hoping he might find a way to fix it in the future.
"Have you finished your tests?" he asked everyone around him, and they all nodded, while Madly said with much envy:
"We all scored good results, but of course nothing compared with you, monster!"
Everyone chuckled at her remark, as for them Arthur was a monster, a good monster indeed as he was their boss. For others perhaps Arthur was a major problem, but for all of them, he was a blessing.
The testing phase continued for a long time, and during which Arthur was resting and trying to assess his new obtained strength. He just hoped his new power would be enough to not forcibly transform into a dragon, but he knew he couldn't ascertain this right now.
He needed to fight, as during battle he would be able to assess his strength. Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a bird's wing kicked suddenly in, interrupting his thoughts, and made him open the letter and read it with some anger.
However, the moment he read its content, a smile pushed its way over his face. His previous plot had already started to show results. In the next minutes, more and more bird's wings appeared, and all had the same words in them.
"We need two thousand potions for healing our diseased mages.. The payment was sent to you already."
