Episode 80 – Quake and Thunder (1/2)

Kiel looked at the hourglass and deterh crystal to reach 25 points In fact, as he spent hisitself at all, which was a rather bizarre phenoe that the aeneration speed was higher than Kiel’s her than es could spend mana faster than they could replenish it Most of the tieneration speed than their mana flow speed it was because their eneration was h

However, obviously, this was not the case with Elaru

Her soul was simply an abomination that shouldn’t exist

The sand slowly slid down the hourglass As soon as the last drop slid down, the glowing s on the crystallizer went out, and the attraction force inside the crystallizer disappeared

Kiel let out a breath of relief

Rau Eryey and Kady Ailert quickly reached his side and complimented him

Rau reached his hands inside the cauldron and pulled out a large yellow crystal the size of a man’s head The crystal seeht scale next to the crystallizer with some difficulty

The meter of a scale quickly skyrocketed

Kady Ailert beamed as she looked at the nuh for 25 points Congratulations The great majority of examinees run out of mana before the end of the test Your mana pool size is quite extraordinary”

“Thank you” Kiel nodded and smiled modestly

This situation was completely opposite of what happened last year when he took the test He reazes of the examiners clearly There was even scorn in the depths of their eyes as if saying “A non-hable”

He remembered how they picked up a pinky-sized crystal from the crystallizer and wondered if they should even bother weighting it

He remembered how his cheeks burned in shahter around his head as to conceal as much of his features as he could, otherwise he would die out of shanized him on the street

Today, he walked out of the classrooh, albeit with shaky footsteps

Today, there was no blush of shae caused to his body

Today, his heart soared high in the sky, all the chains binding it cruer a matter of whether he passed the exah he placed

The gray curtain covered the sky coible Although it was early afternoon, the courtyard of Muni was shrouded in shadows as if it was dusk

Kiel Rroda sat in the most secluded corner of Red Quarters main hall he could find His body wasn’t in the best of conditions, so his usually non-existent desire to socialize was even less existent He was also worried that hein the ht – in the main hall that was full of people

Since he was e pillars, he wouldn’t be disturbed by randoh to the crowd so that the Shadoouldn’t be able to do anything excessive

Still, he hoped Elaru would be done with her exam soon so that they could leave Muni He felt the safest when he was by her side, under Invisibility barrier When they were Invisible and concealing their presence, he felt as if they were separated fro could disturb thehed softly and looked at his pocket watch Elaru’s exa soon Hopefully, she’ll be the first one to take the exaroup so that he wouldn’t need to wait for her er

If she wasn’t finished soon, they would end up caught in a storray clouds reflected in his icy blue eyes ot a bad feeling

Just as his hairs rose on the back of his neck, a bright light flashed in the sky The sound of heavy rainfall reached his ears before the rue raindrops heavily bombarded the dome like thousands of arrows, followed by an explosive sound of thunder thatshake as if hit by a cannon

“Earthquake!” Someone screamed

The screech seemed to shake everyone awake from their shock, and they sprouted into action Some hid under the tables Some confusedly looked about, unsure of what to do Soilantly, hoping that they won’t cruether like a herd of scared meep

The earth shook more and more violently under Kiel’s feet

The harder the building shook, the er keep their balance and sturound

The sounds of shock and distress spreading through theof thunder

Initially, Kiel intended to continue sitting where he aiting for the earthquake to subside but then he noticed that his cal too much attention from the people around him

In the chaos, people who retained their calm stood out like sore thumbs His handsome and noble appearance, coupled with his peaceful demeanor with an unperturbed facial expression made people unconsciously look at him for support

Countless pairs of eyes looked at hi for comfort
