117 Gathering of Geniuses Part-2

"Thank you, respected guest and various officer and representative to join us in this

significant gathering on a short period of time of your arrival and honouring me and Duke Vorn with your presence"

"As we already know, that we all have gathered here to investigate the clause, behind the recent changes which have occurred in ancient battlefield,and which can result in catastrophic damage to both of our empire or even to the entire continent"

"So Duke Vorn and I thought, why don't we organise a social gathering so that all participants can interact with each other and get to know eachother before we head towards the ancient battlefield"said Duke Raleigh.

On the other hand, Kai ignored him, as the Duke goes on giving a boring speech and expression his gratitude.

Kai was more busy observing the guests and officers.

Most of them were wearing fancy dresses and glittering jewellery while taking with each other, and are part of high society of Blackmere city and are not even magic users and battlemage.

"This guy can still think of inviting various groups and forces of continent for a common social gathering. Without even knowing about the dangerous situation of ancient battlefield.

Instead of holding social gathering, currently they should focus more on investigating the ancient battlefield and sharing information"thought Kai as he look at Duke Releigh who was taking with others without a care and inviting others to dance in pair of boy and girl.

Suddenly three groups of her entered the ballroom and heard Duke Grawn muttered.

"The students of imperial academy are finally here"

Kai and his group were standing on the side away from the looks two of Duke eyes as they were busy taking with people of their own circle.

But on seeing the three groups entering the ballroom they quickly moved to welcome them.

The first group was lead by a old man in his sixties with silky white hair with spectacles, wearing a coat black with a vest on which the shaded of plan trees were drawn, with a grey tie and matching pants and polished brown shoes and brown leather belt made up of unknown high quality leather.

The second group is lead by a woman who looks like is in her thirties with short black hair and wearing a long purple dress covering her till her knees with design of stars and moon with a belt around her waist with high heels.

Following both of them were boys and girls stylish, well tailored dresses fancy dress with cultivation of first level of magic Knight.

Kai can always guess these guys are new graduates of imperial academy but even the youngest was thirty years old with average magic power purity of 6stage.

"These guy have no hope of becoming magic champion"thought Kai.

As the cultivation process a solid foundation is a must. Even if a person has greater body potential and resources. But so solid foundation they cannot progress much in later stages of cultivation.During every major realm breakthrough, the magic power returns to its purest stage of grade ten and it's magic users and battlemage responsible to maintain that purity. Greater the purity further they can progress instead of faster breakthrough. Ofcourse Kai is expectional case whose magic power purity surpass grade ten.

But compared to the first two groups third was the most attention catching.

The third group was divided into two parts.

On side is wearing white military uniform while the other is black.

The white side was lead by a blonde short haired man charming handsome white skin man with scarlet eyes and is about the height of 182cm and wearing well switched and neat -pressed dress white long fill selves military coat coving their entire body with golden linered long collar and a golden chain reaching out from the shoulders to their neck button with a black leather belt with golden buckle around their waist with matching long leather boots and hands covered in white gloves.

Beside him was a short well combed black haired man with brown skin and brown eyes with broad shoulders and height of about 185cm with the same design military uniform of black colour.

Giving him a unique charm of his own and dominant aura.

Seeing the two guys in military uniform, Kade sighed and had a complicated expression on his face.

While Duke Grawn was shocked on seeing the the old man as his eyes won't leave him, but suddenly his eyes fall on the black haired woman and tried to hid himself within the crowd with scared expression.

On Lizel was shocked and her eagerness and nervousness can feel seen in her flicking eyes.

Kai also notice and cannot bare to ask the identity of the two man and got the reply from a unexpected source.

"These two are commander of two special regiment of army directly under the command of emperors"

"The white military uniform is symbol of The Vanquishers of oman Empire and there commander Joseph Horton"

"The black military uniform is symbol of The grim reapers of Choas Empire and there commander Louie Greene"

"Both of them were once, students of Battle Mage branch of Chronos Magic academy and join the two empire about 349 years ago and both are level three stage magic champion and were my senior during my student's days"

"Both the regiment are special and only accept Battle Mage of level 4 or higher. Current they both have 250 and 300 active servicemen respectively. The strongest regiment of two empire"

Hearing that Kai look at Kade and nodded as he continues to introduce the other two.

"As for that woman.I think Duke Grawn can tell you more about her, after all she is his wife and mother of Lizel as well as military instructor in imperial academy of Oman Empire, Jennifer Grawn. A well known Earth magic users of 4th stage of magic champion.

I have heard she is a strict and righteous woman"

"As for that old man, he is a old monster living for more than six hundred years with a cultivation of level six stage magic champion and strongest wind magic user in the continent and former military strategist of Choas Empire. Mefisto Law or professor Mefisto"

Just seeing such powerful experts gathering here and taking part in investigation of ancient battlefield turned Kade expression grave serious and looked at Alina who is standing beside Kai"It's a good thing that academy send a magic champion stage expert with us.Situation within the ancient battlefield is mre serious than what has been informed to the academy. For the two empire two send four magic champion and army of magic Knight stage expert with new graduates"

While Kai and Kade were talking with each other.

Duke Karmon Raleigh and Duchess Esabella Vorn were welcoming the new guest and talking with them.

[Esabella POV]

Louie kissed the hands of Esabella, stood straight to looked at her and said "As always you are so graceful and lovely has ever. It's a pity that the most dashling pearl of Choas Empire is already stole by Duke Raleigh leaving the heart of man's of Choas Empire bitter"

Hearing that Esabella smile

"As always Louis you are really a sweet talker.

I am no longer the most dashling pearl of Choas Empire. In current times that title can only be joined to Princess"

And look at Mefisto and asked with curiousity in her eyes"Come to think of it, Professor Mefisto, emperor did send a message that princess Froleytia will be accompanying you. As she requested Emperor that a very important person who can influence the destiny of continent will be coming to attend this gathering and Emperor had requested me to take care of her"

Hearing that Louie asked curiously and low voice"Is it related with her ability of foresight"

Esabella nodded in agreement.

Most of the person of continent, don't know about it. But princess Froleytia is born with the natural ability to predict the future and has been always accurate till recent months. It's just recently her prediction has started to go wrong.

Like she predicted that Emperor Yakto will destroy the entire Buraford Kingdom and everyone will die but everything is fine in Buraford Kingdom.Instead Romand Kingdom is currently facing attack of magic beast which she had never predicted about.

But still seeing Esabella reaction both Mefisto and Louie looked at each other in astonishment. Among the people who can influence the destiny of the continent, most of them are will known figure in the continent like three Emperor or experts like Headmaster of Chronos Magic academy Oliver, Grandmaster Arbus and war sovereign San Di. But they have not heard of any news of them coming to attend this gathering and had their doubts.

"Can it just be wrong like last time. Recent prediction of Princess are going wrong"said Louie with doubt and confusion as he look around the ballroom with his magic sense but can't find anyone with cultivation of their level in the ballroom and did notice the Chronos Magic academy group and Duke Grawn who is hiding in the crowd. Finally his eyes fall on Kade and look of delight appeared on his face.

"Oh! Is that not junior Kade, is he the instructor incharge of safety of safety of student of Academy on this mission"while his magic sense scan Alina but only found her current stage of cultivation is peak of Magic Warrior. It was because of Jai was interfering with Louie magic sense.

On the other hand, Jai deflection his magic sense as soon as he detected it. Not allowing him to sense and abnormality among their group.

Through Kai can also do it.But he can only crush it, and Luoie will still detect something is wrong with him magic sense.

Finding nothing abnormal he cancelled his magic sense.

"It's seems like princess is wrong this time also"thought Luoie.

Mefisto also came to a same conclusion. He was also curious if there is any hidden expert in the continent and sighed in disappointment

"Look like prediction is wrong this time also"

"Come to think of it, on our way to Blackmere city. She predicted that Duchess Esabella will meet her destined partner and her eternal love for the first time during this gathering"said Professor Mefisto with a deep thinking expression on his face.

"Ah! Is Duke Raleigh not her eternal love and destined partner?"as he looked at Mefisto.

While Mefisto reply by shaked his head while uplifting his shoulders a bit.

"This one must also be wrong then"said Luoie as he looked at Esabella.

As he heard the sound of footsteps and a breathtaking beauty entered the ballroom and try to caught her breath.

As the entire ballroom because silent looking at the beauty before their eyes as she walks towards professor Mefisto and Esabella to apologised with her melodious natural voice

"Sorry, for coming late. I had fallen into sleep due to stress of long journey"
