24 Masked Figure (1/2)
Naturally, as soon as the covered man or woman walked into the inner chambers of Magus Sept he saw the confrontation between Fraser and the group consisting of Elise, Adrian, Nicholas and the blond girl named Elizabeth.
However, the covered person ignored the confrontation and simply walked towards a corner and sat down on the nearest couch.
As if finding something more interesting Elizabeth, the blond girl turned towards the covered figure and began to mock the figure:
”Oh, another one who just reached Apprentice Level 2? What are you hiding under your mask, your shriveled skin? I didn't think Magus Sept would surround himself with grade 3 talents or under.”
However, the white masked figure didn't react. Instead, it simply turned his head towards Elizabeth and waited.
There were no eyes or any sort of human feature that could be seen on the white mask. To describe the mask: It is a white mask without any features. It almost could be a white shield covering his face.
But on the first glance, the mask seemed to be melting into the body, as if the mask seemed to be part of the body.
While Elizabeth and the rest turned their attention towards the masked figure, Fraser began to move to the other corner and chose a couch for himself.
Just as Fraser sat down he could hear a pitched shriek. Looking up he could see how Elizabeth and the others slowly backing away from the white mask figure.
The four of them had a pale face and on Nicholas face a small trickle of sweat formed.
Frightened or threatened by something unknown the white masked figure unleashed the group stepped back and chose a couch for their group.
After choosing their couch the group whispered among themselves and clearly, the conversation topic was the figure with the white mask as they sneakily glanced towards the masked figures a few times.
'So the first people I met at the Howling Abyss Academy are not fated to become friends with me. I should go and continue to meditate. Also, I need to plan my schedule for the paid lessons and create a few more basic explosion potions. My amount of magic crystals is easily spent as my best option to acquire knowledge is by attending those lessons which need a learning fee. After all, the AI can save the entire lesson and use it for the Database.'
As Nicholas, Adrian, and Elise clearly chose the side of Elizabeth and ridiculed him, Fraser no longer saw them as potential allies or friends. After all, he already received a lot of information from them and acquired enough information in order for him to stand alone in the Howling Abyss Academy.
Standing up Fraser walked towards the exit of the inner Chamber as his reason for coming to the chamber already got fulfilled. His reaction was normal for grade 3 talents or under and pushing the spirit outside of the body resulted in the reaction as well as the breakthrough to Apprentice Level 2.
Just as he reached the door a deep voice stopped him:
”If I were you then I wouldn't walk back towards your chamber. Let us talk.”
Fraser turned his head towards the masked figure and instead of trusting common sense which meant avoiding the masked figure he walked towards the figure and sat down on the same couch as the masked figure.
'I believe the inner chamber act as a meeting place for his closest or most talented students. After all I don't see a single child younger than me which if I am right meant that me creating a basic explosion potion within a month impressed Magus Sept. So I don't think that the masked figure will kill and instead is one of the senior disciples of Magus Sept, even more, senior than Elise and Adrian which entered the Howling Abyss Academy in the same year.'
”You achieved Apprentice Level 2? Congratulation.” said the masked figure with his deep voice.
As this time the masked figure didn't speak loud Fraser could see the group consisting of Adrian, Elise, Nicholas, and Elizabeth trying to hear the conversation.
