Chapter 113 - Something Wrong

Celia answered him with a smile and took him by the waist : "Absolutely certain !"

Liam then took out of his magic bag a sort of badge with an L engraved on it, he handed it to Alan and said to him : "When you will go to the Northern Academy, give this badge at the entrance, you won't need to take the tests."

He added puting his arm around Celia's shoulders : "Congratulations boy ! You have just been officially admitted to the Northern Academy."

Alan was rendered completely speechless, his heart was racing like hell, he just got admitted where everyone wanted to go, he looked at them in disbelief, not ready yet to believe what just happened, so Luke spoke first : "Great Master Liam, thank you so much, you have changed, before you would have nerver changed your mind, i guess i should thank her instead."

He turned to Celia and said : "Thank you so much Celia to have help my disciple to enter the Northern Academy, it's a great honor for him as for me his master.

I heard what you said to him and what a shame that Liam is already your master, i would have been honor to be the one guiding you.

It was such a great fight and you can use all the five elements, that's something that never occure in Eben before."

Liam chuckled : "Trust me on that Luke, you are not qualify to teach her anything, she learnt everything by herself i m just answering whatever questions she has that's all."

Now it was luke who looked disbelief, he said cheerfully : "Then i understand better why you took her, a mage, as a disciple. Is her wife also your disciple, what she did with her sword earlier was something quite out of the norm."

Liam laughed heartily and said : "Ya, ya, she is my disciple too, and wait for her to show her combat skills you will be amazed."

Luke laughed too, he handed his hand to Liam and said to him : "It is nice to see again like this, thanks Celia to take care of my friend."

Liam shaked his hand, they all nodded to each other and Liam and Celia left to see who was her next opponent.

They walked over to the notice board but before they could get there, Gildas of the sun sect and his disciple the notorious thunderbird came to meet them.

Liam still had his arm around Celia's shoulders and she was still holding him by the waist, they looked more like two old friends than a Master and his disciple, Gildas snorted in disdain upon seeing this and said : "Great Master Liam you have fallen very low if you behaved like that with your disciple."

Liam tried to get around them, he didn't want to waste his time with them and he was in a hurry to know who Celia would fight against in the semi-finals.

But Gildas still blocked his way, Liam ended up asking him: "What do you want Gildas ? We are in a hurry so don't make me waste my time with you."

Before Gildas could answer Liam felt Celia shiver in his arms, he looked at her and she was frowning looking at Gildas he asked her : "Is something wrong ?"

She just replied to him : "Later."

Liam got immediately the meaning of this, indeed something was wrong but she couldn't tell him in front of them.

Gildas finally answered him : "No need to go check, your next duel it's against us, this time your lovely disciple has no one chance, you better forfeit before she gets hurt."

Liam shaked his head and with a smirk on his face he asked him : "Did you check the duels of my disciple ? Obviously not ! I think you should be the one to forfeit."

Celia sighed and asked them : "Which number ?"

The thunderbird answered her : "One !"

Celia nodded her head to that guy and headed to their combat ring dragging Liam with her, she said to him : "Seriously Liam ! How old are you ? Don't answer his provocations there is no use to it ... I have to talk to everyone before the start of this duel, it's urgent !"

Liam saw that she was very serious, so he grabbed her waist and with lightning speed they found themselves in front of their group, Liam motioned to Tal who was their force field and illusion specialist.

Tal immediately understood the message and locked them all into an inviolable force field.

Liam said to Celia : "It's okay you can go on, what did you see that made you shiver in my arms ?"

Everyone looked at her in astonishment after Liam's statement, Celia really wasn't the type to shiver with fear and she had the serious look she only had before she left for a battle.

Celia revealed to them what she had discovered : "We have a big problem guys, this Gildas, earlier today I had no trouble finding out that he was a level twelve grade five mage, but when we were in front of them again, his energy had changed, I can't really explain it, but it's what he gave off as energy that made me shiver.

I tried to scan him again but I couldn't break his defenses. There is something wrong with him, that feeling, it was like I was before the demon god's faithful servant again."

Anaya asked her to be sure : "Are you sure of what you felt ?"

Celia was divided and she replied : "I'm sure how I have felt and the fact that I can no longer see through his defenses is not normal.

There is clearly something wrong with him, but to know exactly what that's the problem. To discover it I will have to be able to break through his defenses and see what's going on

inside him."

Liam says to Celia : "No way you are going to try something, you will forfeit this duel, I want to take no risk."

Everyone agreed with Liam except Anaya, she looked at Celia who was still deep in thought while frowning, she asked her : "My love what do you want to do ?"

Celia raised her head and looked at Anaya, she said to her : "I'm going to fight, we have to find out what he's looking for by coming here, he doesn't know that we suspect something, let's take this opportunity."

Liam said again in a resolute tone : "No it's too dangerous !"

Anaya pretended she hadn't heard him at all and said to her wife : "Okay, but I have one condition, I m staying with you all the time."

Liam sighed, decidedly these girls would never change, as stubborn as the other, he ended up giving his instructions for everyone to be ready for a battle.
