Chapter 74：Discoveries and modifying skill (2/2)

Jun saw that the fight wasn't in favor of his situation. He was puzzled why this person had to meddle then let himself be killed sooner. Probably, he was charred already. Looks like that person who uses fire was not serious in his shot lately. Jun was not sure if he could defeat him in a one versus one duel even when both of them were in a top condition.

Those flames he was firing were just too destructive.

He must do something! He needed to escape while the enemy's focus was not with him. Gripping the hilt of the rope once again, he hastily maneuvered the bird to distance himself. No matter what, he needed to save Sylvia. The Peon bird fluttered its wings in haste as per the rider's command.

At the distance, he saw Sierra being pincered by two enemies. She tried to struggle but he believed it was only a matter of time that they would catch her.

Lighter did not even notice he sneaked away as he was busy raining attacks at the meddlesome person in front of him.

In some of the academies, some people were watching the battle wide-mouth open, some frowned; and some were entertained by it.

”Hahahahaha! What a spectacle, look at that flame, the way he was controlling his flames was by no means weaker than most of our sophomore magicians. I wonder who these people are. Are they from a rebel group? Or some sort of organization?”

A boisterous laugh broke the silence inside a room with a 50 square meter width. A man was crossing his arms across his chests and having the demeanor of a young noble person. He was sitting in front of the long oval shape smooth wooden table that one's image reflected on it. He commented as he was watching the battle that happened in one of the Human City — the Human City Zone 7.

He has trimmed short milky white hair, round face, long pointed nose, thin lips, square jaw that oozes with manliness, fair white skin, and short pointed ears that most Encan people have.

”I do agree that the battle was a good show. But I'm sorry to disagree with your assessment of that person, Son of Baron Elsen Senrod — Nicholas Senrod, that he was by no means weaker than our academy's sophomore magicians.

After all, we in the Encantasia Magic Academy are the strongest Magic Academy. And our magicians are of such high prestige compared to the other academies. Don't forget that we are the blessed children of her grace, the goddess of nature Htraerea(He-ra-ya).” Firmly asserted by the person sitting opposite to the person named Nicholas Senrod.

He has middle length blonde hair, droopy nose, thin lower lips, monolid eyes with azure pupils, hearty shape face, and like the guy named Nicholas Senrod — he also has short pointed ears.

”Haha, fair not, Son of the valiant General Beleggor Gorthalion — Jura Gorthalion. I didn't mean to degrade our magician's prominence. You see, I'm just jesting.”

Again with a hearty laugh — Nicholas cleared his meaning with the words he had been spoken lately.

”Is that so, sorry to misunderstand you then, son of the Baron, Nicholas Senrod. Nonetheless, I am more intrigued by that person's black smoke thing. However, it looks like it was too late. That person likely turned into a crisp already.” Jura Gorthalion said as he brushed his blonde hair using his hand and leaned his back on a chair.

Before Nicholas could open his mouth again, a female voice came ahead of him.

”Oh right, Nicholas Senrod, Jura Gorthalion, I beg to the two of you to turn it off already, we cannot waste our time watching at some academy's predicament. Nonetheless, the princess is coming.” Sternly said the female sitting at the opposite end of the oval-shaped table.

She has straight long blonde hair, an emerald green pupil in her almond eyes, oval lips, small Nubian nose, cute triangular face, and the same as the two male — she also has short pointed ears.

Currently, there's a total of 9 people sitting around the oval-shaped table. All of them are the chosen Elites of the Encantasia Magic Academy.

After hearing the last line, Jura and Nicholas become excited.

With a can't be helped expression, Jura flicked his fingers. Then the holographic monitor screen on top of the Receptor Plate located in the centermost of the table immediately disappeared.

Honestly, none of them was bothered by those individuals who were fighting in the far city. What they were more concerned about was their academy's matter. They needed to win in this year's competition. They could not let some outsiders dominate the ranking and took more resources from this world.

Shortly after turning off the screen, a young beautiful girl walked inside the room. She has snow like long hair and also with short pointed ears. She was a peerless beauty that every male inside the room could only stare at her with mouth agape.

Everyone inside the room immediately stood up and greeted her.

”Welcome princess!”

Jura and Nicholas already turned red. They bowed slightly towards her in a more gentleman mannerism they could present themselves.

The princess nodded at them in a dignified countenance and said, ”Let's start.”

In the battle,

”Gyahaha! You're dead! See! You're dead!” Lighter broke into a guffaw after a barrage of flaming attacks towards the enemy.

In just a matter of seconds, the smoke caused by his flame's explosions was cleared already.

Yet, the expected results were contrary to what was standing in front of him.

”Hehe! So this is how this channeling ability works, huh. Now I understand a little bit.” Yman mumbled after the smoke from the flame explosion cleared out.

His body was covered by thin layers of Black Mana. He modified his healing ability and used it as a shield. So after receiving damage from Splashing Flame Wave, it was automatically healed. Although, he had to suffer from experiencing pain repeatedly, being a lab-rat was more than enough for him to be used to this thing called 'pain'.

He noticed a dumbfounded enemy in front of him.

”What? How the fuck you're still alive?”

Not only Lighter was dumbfounded, everyone who was expecting a bitter result also did.

Kiko on the other hand felt he choke himself and shyly glanced at Almina who was standing not too far from his right. Good thing that she wasn't paying attention to him. But for some reason, he dislikes this person in black.

”I guess, it is my turn now.” Everyone felt a chill when they heard his voice. Shortly after saying this.

His silhouette disappeared and, *Shing!* A head flew.
