Chapter 37 Pontiac Academy [Part 2]



"That kid is talented, able to reach Advanced Swordsmanship at eleven years old." Folmon stated.

"I wonder where that kid is now. I've heard rumors that he appeared in Mevouires territory. After that incident, there was no longer any news of him again."

"He is probably causing trouble at a certain place." Silvanna said while laughing. In fact, she was actually quite entertained by every action he had taken so far.

Navarre then said, "We will find out next year. He had said to the world that he would make his appearance again the next academic year."

They concluded the discussion and redirected their attention towards evaluating the students.

Fiona, Celestia, Daphne, and seven other students were currently sparring with Prof. Hawkin.

Ten of them failed to apprehend him in any way. He adeptly evaded all their offensive maneuvers with remarkable ease.

Fiona utilized her Mystic Field, capable of impeding his mobility by a margin of fifteen percent. Then, she initiated her skill, Ice Strike, thus impeding his attempt to flee. She employed a Ice beam of magic targeted at Hawkin.

Celestia perceived this as an opportunity, she used her aura and mana. As a result, a dual toned layer comprising of blue and white manifested itself enveloping her body.

She then executed her skill known as Judgement Strike, utilizing her sword to unleash a formidable long range attack imbued with the power of light. She dashed out following the strike she sent out. After that, she delivered an additional sword strike with the intention of finishing off Hawkins.

Fiona was accompanied by the remaining three mages, who were also engaged in deploying magical projectiles in Hawkin's direction. Another Swordmaster also perceived this chance and swiftly advanced alongside Celestia.

They collectively launched an assault from every direction, trying to strike down Hawkin with sweeping waves of slashes.

In addition, another Swordmaster proceeded to execute a vigorous offensive maneuver with a weapon enveloped in scorching flames.

Daphne also joined in the fray and launched a powerful thrust infused with the power of wind.

As a result of Hawkin's movement being impeded by Fiona's Ice Strike, he was rendered immobile in every direction. Coupled with the Mystic Field constraining his mobility. Therefore, his only course of action at present was to remain in his current position and fend off the barrage of incoming assaults.

'Booom Boom Boom'

All ten simultaneously attacked together, and all their attacks finally managed to land.

After the smoke caused by the battle cleared out, They saw Hawkin standing, who looked like he had not taken any damage at all.

They were quite surprised, but it was reasonable. Hawkin was still a Magister rank mage, so they simply would not be able to even leave a scratch on him. He was just restricting his power, which is why they were able to block his movements. That is the only reason they were able to land their attacks.

"Nice! You are all very good. You will all get your evaluation sent out to you later." Hawkin exclaimed.

Hawkin then called for the next group to come forward and continued the test.

Fiona said something. "Damn it, we couldn't even scratch him."

"Don't worry too much about it," Celestia said, "He's still a Magister after all."

Fiona then added, "And you! What the hell is going on, Daphne? At least give it a try."

"It is just too much work. I just want to get back to my game. My father simply forced me to attend the Academy." Daphne said.

"Huh? I thought you agreed to go with us together."

"I was going to ditch you all. I mean, three girls going together? I would rather wait for Zen and go with him. But my father forced me to go."

Both girls sighed upon hearing her words. This girl was just too lazy! If she had the talent of Zen, then she would have the right to slack around.

"Right, Zen. I'm curious where he is now. He told us that he would not be able to contact us for the next two months." Fiona said.

Celestia said, attempting to tease both of them. "By now, he's probably found a girlfriend or two. Don't you two agree? Considering his perfect appearance, it will be pretty easy for him to find a girl friend."

Both girls turned to face Celestia and glared at her.

"OK, you two calm down, I was just saying."

Celestia then tried to change the subject, saying, "But it would have been easier if he were here. We could have been able to cause damage to that professor."

"Right! We could have traded Zen for this use-less Daphne." Fiona responded, emphasizing the word useless.

"Useless? I just didn't want to make a move, though I did make a move once at the crucial moment."

"Isn't that the same thing? At least try it once. Why are you so slothful."

Celestia sighed, thinking, [These two are arguing again. What is their problem?] She was beginning to feel like a mediator for these two.

Celestia went ahead and put a stop to their argument. She then asked if they wanted to go shopping. They could go out and get their daily necessities now that their evaluation was finished.

They all agreed that they would meet at the gate entry. They needed to shower and change their clothing because they were drenched with sweat after the battle.

A young man from the side overheard their conversation and approached them.

He then asked if he could go with them, as he also needed to buy a few things he needed. When another boy came and tried to hit on them, the three girls frowned.

Daphne then said, "Huh? Who are you?! No way! Yuck! Get out of our way."

The young man was taken aback by what she said. Such words came from such a beautiful girl? Normally, girls like her would have a more graceful attitude.

"I was just fighting with you guys, Earl—" before he could continue his words. He found that the three had already started leaving.

He was going to go after them, but he knew that he was going to get rejected. He decided to just give up.
