Chapter 19 - Monster Hunt (I) (1/2)
Outside the gate of the Kalin magic academy, Shad sat on a cool metal bench as he was staring at the morning sky. Mellow blues and pinks blurred together to create another gorgeous scene.
Even when the world was engulfed in wars left and right, hardships, people dying of hunger or people killing each other for their own benefit, the sky still remained beautiful, free, vivid and untainted by the griefs or wars.
watching the beautiful morning sky, Shad wished that he could be same as the sky, vivid, aloof and powerful, unaffected by the worldliness, but unfortunately, he could not as he was bound by many things that he could not and would not let go of such as family, etc.
Today was the day of the Monster Hunt exam, aside from shad, there were many students outside the academy' gate waiting for the examiner as well.
Unlike the peaceful and quiet Shad, the other students gathered outside were having a blast chatting and forming their own little party for the monster hunt exam.
Just when they were having a blast chatting, a loud wind blowing noise disrupted them.
The wind came overhead, it was so strong that some of the students grab onto another person to avoid being blown over, the lighter ones.
the wind might have been harmless for the guys, but it was detrimental for the girls as it was strong enough to rustle their clothes.
Unlike the magic battle exam, there were some warriors participating in the monster hunt exam as well. the female warriors were safe since they had one or two light armors and wore pants while the female mages wore done light robes.
the female mages' clothes were all pulled up as well as their skirts, their lower garments were practically dancing in the wind. the females students quickly reacted as the pressed down hard on their skirts to prevent being seen. However, it was already too late.
For the males students, it was like a blessing from the god of wind as they cheered and whistled in delight. especially the ones that had passed the exam already, for them this trip to the Dark Forest had not been in vain.
Even the cold and distant Shad couldn't help but take a quick glance at this beautiful scene in front him before returning to his usual self.
Soon, the so-called ' God of Wind' praised by many of the males students for blessing them with this morning sight appeared before the students. to be precise, it appeared above their heads in the sky.
it slowly descended from the sky. it was a very large airship with a unique design. Seeing this airship, none of the students panicked or exclaimed in surprise. it was due to the fact that the airship was of the main transport vehicle to travel from one continent to another or one Empire to another for the powerful nobles. they have seen such a thing on a regular basis.
There were still teleportation gates in the Egul continent as there was one in each of the four Great Empires, however, the amount of energy needed to activated one was astronomical. Unless it was an emergency or a powerful mage, none of the nobles would dare to waste their resources by using it.
As the airship descended onto the ground, many students scattered into a corner to make space for it otherwise the will be turned into meat pastes.
Unlike the airships Shad used to see on TV back on earth that looked like balloons, the airship in this world looks more like the ones in the games as the possess wings and a number of rotors.
Once descended, the airship took up about more than 30% of the space outside the academy.
with his arms behind his back, the Vice Dean got out from the airship and stood at the front most of the airship as he looked at the students ahead.
