Chapter 71 - Expelled?! (1/2)
I couldn't believe my eyes. The beast we were all struggling to deal with had been defeated. The black scimitar had to be a beast crystal weapon of a high tier to be able to slice through the minotaur's hide. All our weapons even with the use of Ki were practically useless.
There was one more thing that had happened as soon as the beast had been slain. I received another Notification.
Mana eater was a skill similar to mana drain. Where mana drain consumed the mana of beast and people, mana eater consumed the elemental attributes. An example of this would be the minotaur. The minotaur had an elemental attribute of lightning. If I were to touch the minotaur it would allow me to strengthen my lightning based skills.
Although this seemed pretty useless as I currently had no skills that required elemental attributes.
I had a few theories of my own on how I could use this skill but there was no time to worry about that.
At the moment there was something else we had to worry about. Sir K was currently heading towards us and none of us knew how he would react. The rules were clear no one was allowed to enter the red door unless asked. The punishment was expulsion from the academy.
Sir K walked up to the three of us. His chest piece had several blood marks on it from the fight.
”As soon as you arrived the horn wolf ran away sir,” I said.
While Sir K was busy fighting the minotaur, I had de summoned Noir. I had just gathered enough strength to now stand on y two feet. I could perhaps come up with an excuse for Gary and the others about Noir but if a master knight were to find out, It would come with a whole heap of problems.
Sir K headed each of us a light crystal of our own and went over to where Jasmine was. He there her over his shoulder and simply said, ”Follow me.”
Sir K started to head back in the direction we had come from without saying a word to any of us. I could see that this was just making Monk more nervous until he finally blurted out.
”Are we going to be expelled from the academy.”
Sir K stopped walking and turned around. He looked at each of us closely examining our bodies.
”You are all lucky enough to still be alive never mind being expelled from the academy. For some reason, the Beast didn't have much magical power left otherwise even I would have struggled greatly.”
”Does that mean…” Monk was still clearly worried about being expelled.
Sir K sighed
”In any normal case you would be expelled on the spot, but honestly we need Knights like you guys. To be able to survive against a king class beast, you are all really special. It would be a waste to expel such excellent students as you four. We shall just keep this a secret between us.”
”how did you no we were down here?” Gary asked.
I was quite interested in this question too, I had my suspicions of Jasmine. But looking at her now it was hard to imagine it was her.
