Chapter 268: The Start of a New Epic
“Teacher Liszt!”
“Teacher Ciaran!”
“Teacher Carter!”
After following the vice-referee and his two assistants for quite a while, three familiar faces finally appeared within Ayrin’s vision as he broke out in excitement.
“That’s?”
“Alaina?”
Another academy squad stood not far from Liszt, Ciaran, and Carter. It was only upon recognizing the short hair of Alaina, River Bend’s proclaimed captain, the Girl of Flames, did Ayrin realize it was one of River Bend Academy’s squads.
Standing beside Alaina was a long haired girl with white pupils, Shirley, the so called “Queen of Forms,” and a cute boy who seemed several years younger than Ayrin and the others, Residan, River Bend Academy’s genius freshman.
“You’ve arrived. Where’s Rui?”
“Is that not the ‘Moon Echo Saber’ of Abel Academy’s Gucci?”
Upon seeing Gucci’s sword hung over Rinloran’s back and noticing that Rui was missing, Liszt, Ciaran, and Carter were all quite surprised.
“On our way over, we were beset upon by Hanson, Nielson, and Konte. During the fight, Teacher Rui suffered some pretty heavy injuries. Thus, Rui decided to remain behind in the ruins of a Black Witch which we discovered to recover while we continued forward,” Ayrin quickly explained.
“Crazed Alchemist Hanson? Skin Flayer Neilson?”
Just hearing the two names caused the vice-referee who had led Ayrin’s group over to suck in a breath of cold air as he suddenly saw the three before him in a different light.
“This…”
Complex emotions surged across the faces of Liszt, Ciaran, and Carter. “Then what about the sword?” Carter abruptly asked.
“Abel Academy gave it to us as a present!” Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham replied in unison as they flashed beaming smiles towards Carter.
“Are these fellows ignoring us?”
“It’s so clear that something is wrong… Gucci isn’t an idiot, why would he give his treasured saber to them?”
The students of River Bend Academy felt increasingly speechless.
“They also gave us this,” Ayrin added as he stuck out his arm.
“An amplification bracelet made from Firebat Lord crystals?”
The vice-referee who led Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham over felt a sudden urge to faceplant into the ground.
“Even something like this was…” A golden light burst forth in Alaina’s eyes.
River Bend Academy was most well known for its water type arcane skills. But like Donna, Alaina was an expert in fire skills instead. Although she had a staff embedded with a Blaze Cat Eye, it was far worse than the ‘Blaze Bracelet’ made of Firebat Lord crystals. In fact, she had envied the bracelet for a long time. Never did she expect for it to suddenly appear in Ayrin’s possession.
How could an amplification artifact of such a level be given away?!
As black lines filled the faces of the onlookers, Stingham took something out from under his collar. With a chuckle, he said, “I also stole a… ah, I mean, I was also gifted something. A Spirit Obstruction Gem.”
“Stole?”
Alaina and the others nearly went crazy.
“Teacher Liszt, we also received this amplification artifact, but we don’t know what kind of skill it works with,” Ayrin interrupted as he pulled out a pair of black gloves made of metal filaments and embedded with crystals and handed them over to Liszt.
“These black gloves are Tiger Chen’s ‘Black Dew Gloves’. After using a simple activation skill, these gloves will provide extra protection to your arms and increase the circulation speed of arcane particles in your arms. Simply put, they will increase the speed at which you can use certain skills.” A trace of surprise emerged on Liszt’s face as he asked, “Why do you three have Tiger Chen’s gloves?”
“He attacked us alongside a team of Evil Dragon Archers and ended up being killed by us,” Ayrin nonchalantly replied.
“What? Just what kind of battle power do these three have?!”
The vice-referee standing beside Ayrin felt sweat emerge over his entire body.
After encountering and surviving the assassination attempt of Hanson and Neilson, they were able to then kill off Tiger Chen. Even some arcane teams of the Office of Special Affairs couldn’t accomplish this!
And they had done something with the Abel Academy team as well. The extremely strong Abel Academy team.
Liszt, Ciaran, and Carter felt just as speechless.
“I see you three have already arrived, ha ha!”
A loud and clear voice rang over as an abnormally sturdy and tall figure crashed into the ground beside them like a meteor, kicking up a ring of dust.
“Teacher Minlur?”
“Chris, Belo, Moss!” Ayrin exclaimed as he coughed from the dust.
As the dust dispersed, Chris, Belo, and Moss emerged one by one behind the boisterous Minlur.
“I never expected for both of your squads to also arrive and complete the mission.”
Another seemingly exhausted voice abruptly rang over.
