Chapter 137 Hostility

Chapter 137 Hostility

After having spent the night at a well-established inn, the students of the Clover Academy made their way to the city square in the wee hours of the morning.

The fifty students were led by a few professors of the academy. As they made their way through the crowded streets, they saw that the streets were filled with temporary stalls that were selling tools that a Magus would usually require.

Everywhere they looked, they could see Magi of all ages buying and selling items, the atmosphere was extremely boisterous.

It seemed that the entire City of Glassford had turned into a large marketplace.

Adam was walking with Valerian lazily lying on his head, both looking around curiously. The former couldn't help but click his tongue in regret. "Tsk, if I had surplus potions, I would have sold them all here."

Of the various items being sold, potions were the best-selling items. After all, potions were a very valuable type of commodity to a Magus especially considering that they'd have to spend more than a year inside a dangerous secret plane. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Lisa gently grabbed Valerian from Adam's head and scratched his tummy with a doting smile. "It's so fascinating that Little Val can reside inside your mind. No wonder you decided to bring him along."

She and Edward had chosen to leave their familiars behind in Moon City. After all, when a group entered the Soaring River Secret Plane, it was guaranteed that they'd be separated.

The two of them didn't want to risk letting their familiars alone inside an unknown place. After all, both Ennea and Aquila were young magic beasts, and there was a high chance that something dangerous could befall them if they were left alone inside the secret plane.

Adam saw Valerian cheerfully playing with Lisa and smiled warmly. "Yes, he's very special."

Hearing Adam praise him, Valerian turned toward him and beamed. "Myu~"

Seeing this, Lisa's heart melted. She tightly hugged Valerian. "Little Val, you're the cutest!"

Adam's lips twitched. He thought to himself, I wonder if you'll think the same if you learn he's actually a dragon.

As the people approached the city square, they came across Magi of the other three major races. The people of Moon City weren't surprised by this, after all, they were used to seeing and living with different races in their city.

However, for people from other places, it was a surreal experience. Rarely did they witness people from all races coming together in one place.

Suddenly, Adam caught sight of a few kids in the distance who looked very familiar to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he had seen some of them in the Clover Academy's entrance examination a couple of years ago.

The youth focused on the orange insignia on their cloaks and wondered, "MA? Isn't that..."

"Magus, how dare you fly over the city's airspace?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Get down and surrender yourself this instance!"

Daneli, who was sitting behind his mentor, was furious seeing the weapons pointed at him. He roared, "You fools! How dare you—"

However, Atiel placed a hand on his shoulder and interrupted him. "Don't be angry, brother. They don't know any better."

Daneli didn't say a word after. However, he continued to glare at the Magi surrounding them. Meanwhile, Elrod, who was sitting at the forefront, laughed in a carefree manner.

"Haha, was I not supposed to fly over the city? Ah, apologies, apologies."

One of the Magi pointed his spear at Elrod and threatened, "Dare to take this lightly! Don't blame me for what I'm about to do—"

"Hold it." An elf with blond hair and topaz eyes suddenly appeared beside the guard and reprimanded him.

"L-L-Lord Celador!!" The guard nearly peed his pants when he saw the elven representative and also the one in charge of protecting the city till the time the portal closes speak to him.

Celador ignored the guard and walked toward the Ithikari. Then, he respectfully bowed with his hand over his chest. "Lord Elrod, welcome to Glassford."

Everyone who saw this was shocked out of their wits. Celarod, a Rank 3 Magus, was actually bowing to this newcomer! They couldn't help but wonder just who the hell this unknown elf was.

Elrod, along with his two apprentices, got off the Ithikari and landed on the ground. The former walked toward Celrod with a smile and then clasped his shoulders.

"Raise your head, Celador. We are equals."

Celador looked into Elrod's eyes, smiled, and faintly shook his head. "I will forever be your junior, Lord Elrod."

While the two Rank 3 elves were catching up with each other, a figure suddenly appeared behind Daneli and Atiel like a specter, putting his arms around their shoulders and catching them off guard.

"Did you guys miss me?"
