Chapter 173: Pit Digging Teacher(Two in One) (1/2)
Standing on the empty stone platform with the sun almost rising at the horizon, fresh morning air entered Kai's lungs and washed away his laziness, filling him with power and strength.
Turning around, he found others coming out of the train one by one with sleepy expressions.
Sophia stood beside him in her disguise, yawning and losing her body.
It was not the behavior you will expect from a royal princess. But she didn't care. In these few days, she had spent more time with others and tried to get rid of her shyness. Kai also revealed her identity to Jai, Esabella, and Kade. As for the others, it can wait.
Jai and Esabella didn't have much of a reaction because they have only known her for a few days. On the other hand, Kade was stunned by knowing that Dilo is not a man but a woman.
What surprised Kai was that he later learned that Kade was not overwhelmed by the fact that Dilo is a woman but instead how Kai found out that she was a woman.
It seems like her father had already informed the academy about her real identity and told them to take care of her.
'It appears that the King of Romand Kingdom had underestimated the power of the magic item,' thought Kai.
Looking around, he noticed Kade, who was coming out the train with a voice transmission rune device in his hand.
Sometimes later, the entrance of the teleport gate raised from the ground and the portal opened.
David and Old Black came out with dark circles and tired expressions.
Judging from their looks, they have not gotten much sleep for many days.
”Good... morning, students....” said David and Old Black while Yawning.
”Looks like you all came back safely and sound,” said David as he studied everyone, and finally, his eyes landed on Kai.
He already had received the report that Kai had entirely solved the problem of the ancient battlefields as well as solved the mystery of the Winter Song Lake just by himself.
Walking towards Kai, he smiled. ”Good Job. Thank you for solving the Ancient Battlefield and the Winter Song lake's problem once and for all. You have done a great service for the people of this continent.”
Then he looked at Morrigan, who was supposed to be the mysterious woman trapped inside the Ice.
Feeling David graze, she responded with a cold stare. David's heart turned cold, and an unpredictable sense of danger overwhelmed his senses. He quickly turned his eyes away from her.
Doing that, he saw Jai with Esabella and Elder Asava, who stood beside them.
Even though he had already gotten the news that grandmaster Arbus is dead, nevertheless seeing the person with the same face and body structure, it's hard to believe that the person standing before him is not Arbus.
David has met Arbus many times and never had a good feeling about him. It was as if he was always scheming something.
The only difference is the color of the eyes and the compassionate aura with a gentle smile on his face. He looked at others without looking down upon them.
He could never have expected Arbus to act in such a manner.
Old Black also remained silent. Arbus caused the incurable injury to his magic channel when he fought to protect the students' 354 years ago. Almost killing him in the process and causing his cultivation to fall from the peak Magic Knight to the Grandmaster peak stage.
There was once a time he used to admire him, but now he doesn't feel anything.
He had already given up hope of taking revenge on Arbus upon knowing that no magic or weapons worked on him aside from the headmaster sword.
So he was quite surprised to know that he was killed, and the person who killed him was Kai's master.
That legendary master who seems to know everything and has strengthened and improved magic devices and ways of cultivation as well as how to teach them.
He even gave him that miraculous water, which cured his long time injury, and his former cultivation has slowly started to recover.
His new ideal is Kai master, not only his but everyone in the academy.
David smiled at them and turned around.
”Attention, everyone, make a row and enter the teleportation gate and please return to your dormitory as soon as possible to get ready. The preparation for the graduation ceremony is completed, and it will be conducted at ten o'clock. I hope nobody will be late. The headmaster will personally hand out the graduation certificate.”
Hearing that everyone was stunned, they were not expecting that their Academy life's graduation day would be on the same day they returned to the academy.
”Don't react like that, students. We had already gotten the news from Instructor Kade that you have successfully become Magic Knight stage experts. We have been super busy these days because of that, not only do we have to make preparations for the Immortal Day festival but also make preparations for the graduation ceremony. It will be a memorable day in your life, and I hope that you progress even further in the path of magic in the future. As you may know, the seal on our continent is now gone, and the Magic Champion stage will no longer be the end.” said David with a smiling face.
Students looked at each other and nodded.
Forming a line, they entered the teleport gate one by one.
Jai, Esabella, Morrigan, Alina, Duke Grawn, Asava, and Kai were supposed to be the last ones to enter, but Old Black stopped them.
”Please wait, I need to make a change in the coordinates. Master Daoma is waiting for you with Headmaster Oliver in his house.”
Hearing that, Jai was shocked and looked at Kai.
Kai didn't have any idea what Old Black was talking about; as far as he knew, Master Daoma is still in his soul state.
Others were also curious: who is this Master Daoma?
Seeing the reaction of Jai, Kai smiled, ”I forgot to tell you. Master had regained his mortal body and most likely is staying in the academy.”
David nodded, ”He is currently living with Headmaster Oliver. Not only him but your roommate Alice is also staying there.”
”Alice, she is also staying in the same house with them...?”
”Hmmm...She had gone through many changes in a short period. When you were away, she had already reached the last stages of the Magic Knight realm in a few days of time. Her physical and mental growth is also astonishing. If I had not been visiting headmaster Oliver frequently, I would never have witnessed such rapid growth and transformation in nature talent in my life. Most likely, she is also getting graduated today.”
”Can I open the door to the core court? It's getting late. We still have many other works to do after dropping you off,” said Old Black.
”Old Black, can this teleporter connect with the core court of the academy? If I remember, it was not supposed to be possible,” said Kai
Old Black smiled. ”Master Daoma has made some changes into it, and now it can work with greater efficiency and stability. So, please don't make me wait anymore and enter the teleporter. I have already set the coordinates to Headmaster Oliver's teleport gate.”
