Chapter 493: Resonance



Adam's students exited the town through the south gate and walked toward the grove in the near distance. He had taught them a new technique, so the kids were eager to practice it.

Aiden looked at his friends and spoke with slight hesitation, "Guys, don't you find it weird that Professor has been so engrossed in his herbalism experiments since the day before..." "Yes..." Eleiney nodded. "I don't know why but he seems to be in a hurry. He's been acting very different ever since he returned. I wonder what it could be..."

Art remained silent for a while before chiming in, "And what did he mean about the next night of the full moons being the most dangerous?"

"No idea."

"I don't know."

Eleiney and Aiden shook their heads, unable to understand why Adam had made such a comment. Regardless, they trusted their mentor's words.

Art exhaled a deep breath, producing mist from his mouth in this chilly weather. "Whatever it is, let's just focus on this new thing he taught us."

"Right!" Aiden nodded with a solemn expression. "If it is as he says, and the next night of the full moons really is going to be the most intense, then this technique is going to help us a lot!"

"Speaking of this technique," Art began, his eyes flashing with hints of excitement. "I'd never thought mana could be used in such a way. It's so... creative!"

"Hmph!" Suddenly a cold snort sounded. "What did you expect? My brother is a genius!"

Valerian was cozily sitting on Art's head, treating it as his couch.

"Lord Valerian," Eleiney looked over at him and asked politely, "Did Professor create this technique himself?"

The young dragon raised his paw and shook his index finger. Then, he started speaking with the air of a grandmaster.

"Foolish girl, this technique that Adam has imparted to you is merely an application of the real technique that he had created when he was young."

"What?!" Everyone was stunned.

Art was so shocked that he nearly dropped the little guy from his head.

"Myu! Art, keep your heady steady or I will smack you!" Valerian threatened menacingly.

"S-Sorry, Lord Valerian..." Art apologised meekly.

Aiden exclaimed, "You mean the philosophy of the Way that he just started teaching us?!"

"Yes." Valerian nodded. "Although I don't know what exactly it is, I know that it has had a profound effect on my brother's journey as a Magus. Even his mentor back in the Southern Federation put a lot of emphasis on studying this philosophy."

"Mentor has a mentor?" Art asked in surprise. "He never told us that!"

"Of course, Brother has a mentor!" Valerian spoke with pride, "and he's a very powerful

Magus."

"How strong is he?" Aiden asked curiously.

"Hahaha, he is in the process of advancing to the Mana Core Rank!" Valerian laughed

arrogantly.

Once again, the three young Magi were dumbfounded. They didn't know that their mentor had such a powerful background.

All this while they thought that since Adam was from the Southern Federation, his background wouldn't be so deep. But it turned out that that wasn't the case at all. "Anyway, enough chatting." Valerian leaped off Art's head and landed on the ground.

He glanced at the three youths and said with a serious expression, "The night of the full moons is three weeks from now. You all must master this technique within the next week." Eleiney, Aiden, and Art nodded their heads with solemn looks on their faces.

"Lord Valerian, please guide us," they said simultaneously.

The young dragon's tail couldn't help but sway a little faster when the kids addressed him as

'Lord.'

He raised his furry chin and spoke magnanimously, "Alright, Brother has already told me to train you while he's busy with, uh, whatever he's up to.

Valerian then turned around and strutted toward the grove, leaving behind his parting words.

"You three have until sunset to find me with that technique. If you don't, I will smack you!"

He suddenly stopped in his steps, turned back around, and glared at them with his piercing

topaz eyes.

"For every day you fail to find me, the intensity of the beating will increase, and I won't stop until all of you have found me!"
