Chapter 116: Magical Aircraft! (1/2)
After the parents of the fifty top participants handed back the magic contract to him, many of which showed consent while some didn't, instructor Leonardo used magic energy to amplify his voice as he said: ”We thank you all for taking time out of your busy life to attend the tournament. I hope you guys had fun and enjoyed it as much as I and the others. The tournament has come to an end and now we must part ways. Everyone who doesn't have anything to do here, please descend from the Emerald Mountain and return to your homes. Students, you are dismissed! Do whatever you like.”
He motioned for those who have gained the consent to go and explore the newly discovered settlement to remain on this place with him.
”Thanks for having us!”
”We bid you farewell.”
”Elder brother, little sister, let's go!”
”Good luck, honey! I will be waiting for your return!” Lisa said, waving her hands at Elliot.
Elliot turned to look at her, showed her a smile, and waved back.
Several students who had their heads lowered in dissatisfaction because they didn't get what they want were pulled out of the arena by their parents. Meanwhile, Elliot, Theo, John, Sylas as well as thirty-odd students stood in the arena, waiting patiently for what's to come.
Instructor Leonardo raised his right hand and opened his hand. A mustard seed appeared in the center of his palm. It was grey and sturdy like metal and had a lot of lines on its surface that formed some kind of magical symbol.
One look at the mustard, and Elliot realized to his shock that its true form was an aircraft that could carry thousands of people. As for why it looked like a mustard seed, it's all because of the uncountable number of lines on its extremely tiny surface.
The so-called lines were parts of the magical rune of contraction and expansion. Runes! Elliot has never heard about them. But to be able to contract something so big into something so small, they must truly be something heaven-defying.
Instructor Leonardo flung it towards the skies, and after the metallic mustard seed reached above the peak of the mountain, a resounding reverberation of a stick hitting a drum sounded out. ”Expand.” Right after that word left his mouth, thousands of ruptures appeared on the mustard seed, and then all of a sudden, to the amazement of the people down below, metallic boards burst out of them. They expanded for several dozen meters while hovering parallel to each other. Then, metallic threads came out of their sides, wriggling towards one another.
They wounded around each other and connected all the metallic boards into one big circular surface which was hovering over them.
Everyone below and on the emerald mountain felt the disturbance that arose during the creation of the circular aircraft. With its shadow covering a wide area, most of the people turned to look at it involuntarily. What they saw left them shocked out of their wits. The giant high above could destroy the mountain and even half of the city if it crash-landed on the ground and exploded. How did it suddenly appear above the mountain out of nowhere?”
