Chapter 93: The labyrinth (2/2)
Then they heard Elder Paan saying, ”Although, at first I dislike the incompetent plan of Mayor Chan...”
Hearing his name spoken by the elder, Mayor Chan felt a chill running down his spine. It was known all around the city that Elder Paan was the scariest Elder. Even he would not dare to anger her.
He gulped.
Everyone showed interest in Elder Paan's next word.
”Let's do what Mayor Chan suggested. And I wanted this silly girl to be the leader of that special squad,” said Elder Paan coldly.
Question marks floating above the head of their so-called Ace.
Ice for some reason felt she made a big mistake invading here!
”Even though I am the renowned Ace of the academy...why bullying such a lonely girl...” she mumbled.
The others did not react against Elder Paan and drily shrugged their shoulders.
Later on, Ice told them what she came for.
She explained to them all about that demon, if how she encountered it. And she also told them about the rift. After she mentioned it, everyone's eyes lit up.
The solemn atmosphere a while ago immediately washed away. Because the rift was mostly connected to the labyrinth. And the labyrinth was known to store a massive amount of treasure and resources. But of course, it wasn't easy to gather these resources. After all, the labyrinth was also the house of many kinds of monsters and traps. It was the very meaning of danger.
However, it could also be the best training grounds to accumulate combat experience.
So this achievement of securing the rift or the entrance was truly big success.
Before they celebrated, Ice asked them about a certain magician that made the elder's brows knitted to each other.
”A talented fledgling male magician who defeated the demon?” Elder Nitan asked.
”Yes Nitan Elder, that person did defeat the demon,” Ice said but she noticed the puzzled expressions shown in the faces of these oldies.
”Wasn't the black magician the one who defeated the demon?” Mayor Chan asked as well.
”Actually, I also was curious about this black magician who defeated the demon. But before that, that demon fled from the underground channel in haste after he was defeated by a newbie.”
”What? It was not because of you that the demon flees from the underground channel?” Chief Henderson exclaimed.
”Yes, Mr. Chief.”
Everyone was surprised by what they heard from the academy's ace.
It was out of the question that a fledgling trainee was able to defeat a demon of such a degree. Never in history, it happened.
”Was that person really had fought the demon?”
”Wasn't it Kiko of the Sun family?” Mayor Chan said.
”Possible, after all that young man was truly a talented person,” the principal added.
”In any case, let's find it out tomorrow...” Elder Paan said.
The next morning, it was already 2 days ago when the demon attack happened.
Most people in the city of Zone 7 were in the celebratory mode. The officials together with some important people(Probably businessmen) in the city were currently in the underground channel.
They were watching the academy ace as she lifted the ice mirror she cast to cover the rift.
A moment later, they noticed the whole underground channel trembled slightly.
Then they saw the ice slowly broken apart. When the ice mirror finally broke apart, their eyes were greeted by 10 meters in height and a 5 meters surface that looked like a surface of the water in crimson color.
Some tester soldiers tried to enter it but after three minutes.
”I-It's an active labyrinth!!” Exclaimed the soldiers when it came out.
They went out with some herbs, loots and they even found a chest treasure. And some scratches on their armors.
Everyone immediately jumped in joy. The excitement they felt could not be asserted after it had been proven as an active labyrinth.
The bigshot businessmen together with the city officials did not waste their time and immediately made a conclusion.
It was agreed that The Ace of the academy would get a 10 percent commission as the one who discovered and secured the rift.
2 percent for Almina Amulet and Maena Hex as the two girls contributed with the fight against the demon.
1 percent for the Mercenary Ultima who at least did a little thing.
2 percent to the mysterious black magician who defeated the demon.
Everyone was looking at the poster posted in the academy andbarracks announcement board, and on the academy's website with full of envy in their eyes.
Everyone gawked in disbelief after they saw the final name listed.
Yman Talisman - will get a total of 3% commission of the total income of the labyrinth.
WHAAAAAAAAT??!
The chief and the other officials and even the elders, could not believe it at first. But the one who told them was the famous Almina Amulet, that it was that person who came with them and the one who first defeated the demon.
”Tsk, what the f**k is this? Did they make a bluff in it?” Marco questioned annoyingly.
”Damn, that toad! I wonder how he cheated!” Bruno added. He believed that person was only leeching at the others. But how come he had the second biggest commission? He was even bigger than the mysterious black magician who defeaed the demon.
Kiko on the other hand was burning in anger.
