Chapter 118: Returning To The Academy, Ten Superior-Grade Elental Affinities
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the rise of the morning sun, the rays of dawn shone upon the land.
In front of the solemn and stately academy gates, an endless stream of horses, carriages, and people flowed to and fro. Guards in golden armor swept their eyes over the students going in and out of the academy, their eyes cold and sharp as though hawks.
“Tell honestly, Alex. How many cute, gentle, little maidservants did you defile this winter break again?”
“Get lost, get lost! Don’t spoil my reputation!”
“Pooh! Who doesn’t know that you, Alex, are a famous lustful fiend? After holding it back for half a year in the academy, wouldn’t you let loose after you go ho?”
“Bastard! Would it kill you to stop talking that much...”
As ng Lei stood in front of the majestic and awe-inspiring gates and listened to the laughter and bantering around him, a brand-new sense of vigor and spirit shone in ng Lei’s eyes.
The Underground Cave Magical Spiders had been annihilated, and Little Gold had stayed behind in the underground world.
After spending a day settling the arrangents for the Magical Beast Village villagers, ng Lei also left. A night’s journey later, he was finally back at the academy.
He had undergone astonishing changes during this month or so away from the academy. It felt rather as though things had changed, but it was also a brand-new beginning.
ng Lei had a lot of plans in mind, so he was looking very much forward to the future.
In comparison, the old geezer next to him was in a completely different mood—his body trembled, his eyes were red, and he was beside himself with agitation.
This was sothing understandable, though.
Ol’ Amos had still been this academy’s president and a high and mighty Saint Domain Great Magician when he had left back then. Yet upon his return 20,000 years later, he had beco a wandering ghost instead.
How tis had changed and how things had changed!
“Never would I have thought that I’d be back.” After gazing at the academy for a long while, Ol’ Amos sighed softly and said, “During those 20,000 years when I was trapped underground, I had wanted to co back and take a look even in my dreams. My wish has finally co true today.”
“There’s nothing much to see outside the gates, Ol’ President. Let’s go, I’ll bring you around inside.”
ng Lei smilingly took his magic badge out of his spatial ring and pinned it on his chest. Then, he walked toward the academy gates.
The golden-armored guards’ line of vision landed on ng Lei. When they saw the magic badge on his chest, they provided no obstruction and allowed ng Lei in.
“Ol’ President, let’s go and take a look at the Saint Dragon Square first.”
“The Saint Dragon Square? What’s that?”
“You’ll see when you get there.”
They passed through the cooling, quiet sycamore tree-lined little path. Then, dozens of different statues entered their sight.
ng Lei pointed at the Saint Domain statues and said cheerfully, “This is the Saint Dragon Square, Ol’ President.”
“Why did they put so many statues in such a big area here? What a waste of space!”
Ol’ Amos frowned lightly, a look of displeasure surfacing in his eyes. Nevertheless, he still walked over to the statue nearest to him and began to inspect it closely.
“Fred Flit, the 348th, and current academy president. A noble and powerful thunder-elental Saint Domain Great Magician, his forte is thunder-elental magic and thunder-elental Dragon-Language Magic. He is the first person to successfully unravel the secret of the Titan Holy Thunder...
“...created a total of 1,058 thunder-elental Dragon-Language Magic spells and normal spells, and made the most outstanding contribution to the research and developnt of thunder-elental magic...
“Eh?”
Ol’ Amos was mildly taken aback when he read the history of this Saint Domain statue. “The current academy president is pretty impressive. He has actually managed to unravel the secret behind the Titan Holy Thunder. Impressive, impressive!”
“The Titan Holy Thunder?”
ng Lei was rather puzzled.
“The Titan Holy Thunder is the Titan Empire royal family’, the Thunder Titans’ exclusive thunder-elental spell. Its might is several tis, even up to dozens of tis, that of ordinary thunder-elental spells. Even thunder-elental Dragon-Language Magic pales in comparison to it.”
Ol’ Amos explained, “I had participated in the empire’s war with the Titan Empire back then, and had a taste of the Titan Holy Thunder’s might. The mory is still fresh in my mind even now.”
“Several tis, even up to dozens of tis...”
A huge jolt went through ng Lei.
Ol’ Amos said with a smile, “Brat, you have thunder-elental magic talent. If you wish to learn thunder-elental Dragon-Language Magic and Titan Holy Thunder, the current academy president is probably soone pretty good to learn from.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Despite looking thoughtful, ng Lei wasn’t very confident about it.
The academy president had always been soone elusive and hard to track down. He was rarely in the academy; ng Lei had only seen him once during the opening ceremony, and never again ever since.
Learn from him? Where was he supposed to even find him?
“Don’t worry, there’s Fire Dragon blood in you, so you can also be considered part of royalty. This little fellow nad Fred Flit is evidently also a mber of the royal family. I should think that he wouldn’t reject your request to learn from him,” Ol’ Amos said with a smile as he twisted his beard.
“A mber of the royal family?” An unusual gleam flashed across the depth of ng Lei’s eyes.
“Let’s go and look at the other statues.”
A look of curiosity appeared in Ol’ Amos’ eyes. “I’m very curious to know what kind of fine juniors the academy has produced during the last 20,000 years...
“Dexter Drinkwater, the 319th academy president. A noble earth-elental Saint Domain Great Magician. He created a total of 82 types of first-class spells...
“Augustus Flit...”
Ol’ Amos looked at the statues leisurely, nodding and giving praise sotis, reserving his comnts sotis, shaking his head and sighing sotis, not leaving out any of them. Just like that, an hour went by.
At last, Ol’ Amos finally ca to the third last statue. His expression changed at once, becoming one that was extrely complex, furious, indignant, regretful, disappointed...
This was the first ti Ol’ Amos had ever shown an expression like that. ng Lei couldn’t help but beco rather puzzled. Did he know the owner of that statue?
“Adolf Holman, the student with the strongest magic talent, shortest duration of study, and the youngest to graduate from the academy in all of Fire Dragon Magic Academy’s history. He is also the youngest Eighth-Grade Great Magician, Ninth-Grade Great Magician, and Saint Domain Great Magician in all of Dragon God Empire’s history. He was only 38 years old when he broke through to Saint Domain...”
ng Lei had read Adolf Holman’s deeds and achievents before. However, at that ti, he’d only taken them as a forefather’s glorious achievents. Apart from astonishnt and admiration, he didn’t have any other thoughts about it.
However, he found them rather unfathomable now.
Not only did he create three records in the academy, but he also created another three records in the empire!
Not only did he create three records in the academy, but he also created another three records in the empire.
Now, that was impressive.
He’d actually created so many records!
Moreover, judging from the statue’s location, Adolf Holman was probably soone from 20,000 years ago and belonged to the sa era as Ol’ Amos. This ant that those records he’d created had been maintained all this ti over the last 20,000 years with no one breaking them.
What was the aning of ‘unprecedented’? This was it!
ng Lei developed a strong interest in such an amazing figure at once. He asked, “Ol’ President, do you know this person nad Adolf Holman?”
“He’s my disciple!” Ol’ Amos replied, “My only disciple!”
“So, he’s your disciple!”
Ol’ Amos had been the academy president back then. Since Adolf had such wonderful talent, it was very normal that Ol’ Amos would take him in as his disciple.
Ol’ Amos sighed as he said, “Adolf was only 9 years old when he enrolled in the academy, but he possessed all-elental superior-grade affinities, which was the first of its kind in history. This could be said to be a record never before seen in history and never to appear again!”
“All-elental superior-grade affinities?”
ng Lei was taken aback. “What kind of body constitution is that?”
“You know the ten elents of magic, right? All-elental ans that he possesses elental affinity for all ten magic elents. In addition, all ten of his elental affinities were... superior-grade!” replied Ol’ Amos slowly in a deep, low voice.
“S-superior-grade for... T-ten elents?”
ng Lei jerked fiercely, almost wetting himself in trepidation.
Oh my goodness!
Earth, water, wind, fire, wood, tal, thunder, light, dark, and ice!
Superior-grade for all of them!?
Hiss!
He was actually that scary!?
