Chapter 142: To the Dukedom Capital (2/2)

After the long relaxation, Sam and Watt packed up everything and stored away the beasts. Now that both of them are alone, Sam took out the gift he prepared for Watt.

When Watt saw this, he was dumbfounded. Because, it is also a hoverboard. But this is a bit different.

This is a little thinner and it is completely silver in colour.

Sam made this because, he has to walk if wants to go with Watt for some other places. So, if Watt also has same way of transport they can move faster.

But this board is different in a lot of ways. For, Harbinger Sam can directly circulate the wind elemental spiritual energy into the high-pressure air to get the required thrust.

Even though, Watt's manipulation and control over wind element are high, it is not high enough to provide same thrust.

So, Sam used a variety of inscriptions to make this. This thing also operates on the Wind energy cells, but, they are not visible for outside.

Instead they are covered with a plate. On the inner side of the plate there are a lot of complex inscription matrices Sam made.

These inscription matrices are actually made of a simple wind type inscription called air cannon. This is a normal wind elemental spell which produce a thrust of air for an instant and the scale of the effect will depend on the energy used by the mage.

Sam made an inscription matrix of these so that when injected they would provide a continuous thrust.

So, simply this thing runs on the continuous small-scale air cannons pushing the board upwards and even the forward thrust will be given the same way.

As for others finding out and copying it. They can try and see if they can continuously pour the energy from their body since Sam is sole supplier of the energy cells.

But before they could do this, they have to open up and examine, but Sam took measures. He stacked up the concealment formations inscribed with etching operation to conceal it from spiritual sense.

For, now there would be no copying.

Sam then showed the remaining functions of the board. There are some projectile shooting options on the front and even back of the board and there is one more function which he could use in the close combat too.

The rest of the day was gone with Sam teaching on how to balance and use the board effectively.

The next day early in the morning, Sam and the remaining members arrived at the Marquis mansion.

The twenty members were selected and the list was out. Sam's team didn't have any eliminations except for Jasmine.

So, that is nine seats gone. For the remaining eleven, the second team which mostly comprised of noble children got seven while the third team only got four places.

As for the eliminated candidates, they were given enrolment to the special elite class as the top priority students who will be invested in.

Sam looked at Zeke who is also looking him with some sort of fear in his eyes.

Zeke is particularly a bit overwhelmed and anxious as his father called him and his brother yesterday.

”If you want to live peacefully, don't mess with Sam anymore. Even if your grandfather can oppress him for now, you will be regret it in long run. So, if you guys have any plans to deal with him with the help of your grandfather, abandon the idea.”

These are the exact words of Marquis yesterday night. Not only did Marquis warn them he didn't even give any further explanation.

”You will be representing the Blue flame territory and will be competing in the Dukedom capital. Now you guys don't have any way back and have to move forward even if you like it or not. So, I hope you guys concentrate on the future and grab the opportunities that are being presented for you.”

After that, they were led to what seemed like a forest and when they entered all of them saw gigantic beasts.

These are Fire-winged eagle. These are one of the beast squads of the Marquis territory and they are Fire and Wind dual elemental beasts.

There is one more advantage for them. They are big and fast. So, they are also used for long distance travel.

At this morning, five Fire-winged eagles soared into the air with the candidates and the Marquis riding them toward the Dukedom capital.
