Chapter 114: Who Would Dare?

Chapter 114: Who Would Dare?

The platinum blonde's face was gloomy and 'terrifying', though Evelyn thought she just looked sad and bullied. Unfortunately, this adorable little thing might not react so well if she tried to pet her, so Evelyn could only keep her hands to herself. 'Ruru and Bree are still more adorable, after all It's okay'

"W-What are your affinities again?"

Evelyn blinked, wondering if that was even relevant after everything else she had mentioned. "Oh? Well, my lowest is fire, which is thirty percent, and then wind, which is fifty. My highest is lightning, which is ninety percent. Augury said I was a talentless piece of trash. Does she need every student to have maxed out affinities or something?"

Aurora, who had all her affinities in single digits except for water, almost cracked her teeth from how hard she was gritting them. "A-Augury!"

Evelyn had already inquired a little about Madam Augury from Eula the previous day, and knew that she was a senior professor just like Dane.

However, compared to the red haired professor who was so casually expelled from the academy, Evelyn didn't think Augury's ending would be the same.

After all, Aurora didn't seem to want to pamper her too much now, and was already quite reluctant to help her without good reason.

If not for her trying her best to convince the platinum blonde, Evelyn thought that she wouldn't have done anything at all.

In fact, she still wasn't quite sure what to expect as she walked to the elemental mastery class again. Before she even got inside the building, however, Evelyn got her answer.

Madam Augury, who was usually so conceited and arrogant, was currently eating dirt as Aurora pushed her head to the ground, stepping on her angrily. "W-Who did you call trash? I-Idiot Augury! I'll kill you!"

Of course, the fact that Aurora had waited till the morning to do this meant that she wanted all the students to see Augury's state.

The old lady wanted nothing more than to scream indignantly, but she couldn't even do that.

This was the most disgusting part about Aurora, which she had always hated deep down. People like her, even if they were only slightly weaker than the girl, wouldn't even be able to resist her attacks at all.

It was one thing to know an opponent could defeat you, and another thing entirely to be helplessly humiliated like this.

Aurora hadn't come alone, and Evelyn wondered who the three cloaked people following her were, to be courageous enough to disturb her in such a state.

"Young miss, you can't be so willful all the time. I think you've already vented your anger, no?"

"Augury has been serving the academy faithfully for so long. You already expelled Dane without proper trial just before, if you do this again"

It didn't take long for the old woman to finish her 'packing up', and she left without looking back.

The headmaster didn't know if she would take his advice to stay in one of the forbidden cities, or if she would really just leave altogether.

Compared to Dane, who had been thrown out and had all his artifacts destroyed, the black haired man felt that Augury was surely 'lucky', since she could easily cross the wonderland like this.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that half of their strength came from their equipment, and the headmaster was more familiar with this fact than anything else. The difference between Professor Dane, who had all his artifacts destroyed, and Madam Augury, who still retained them all, was like night and day.

The longer they lived, the more time they had to not only cultivate their own strength, but also to get hold of suitable lucky chances and suitable artifacts. If someone managed to snatch each of his belongings, the headmaster knew that his heart would bleed.

In fact, he would probably go crazy on the spot.

Only an abnormal existence like Aurora, who didn't seem to care about artifacts at all, could claim not to be the same.

And even for her, the headmaster considered the idea foolish.

After all, even though Aurora was supposedly much stronger than him, the headmaster knew that if he managed to use all his artifacts just right, taking her down wouldn't be impossible.

For the strongest of their pillars to be so 'poor' was really too much, but there was little the headmaster could do about that. "Hopefully Aurora won't continue doing these stupid things anymore. It's really starting to get on my nerve. What's she leading the pillars into the forest for, anyway? Why not at least let me know? I'm the headmaster!"

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Terrazyme, word of the 'Guardian Beast of Earth' being dead finally reached the King's ears.

Although the beast itself was more or less 'independent', it was a well-known fact that it had been living in their kingdom for centuries, and often cooperated with the royal family.

"WHAT! Who dared to"

Although the messenger was shaking in his boots, not able to respond at all, the roaring king calmed down on his own as he waved his hand. "Leave. Send in the Second General."

Very few organizations had the ability to slay the beast, and even fewer had the guts. Of course, he knew that the beast had been sent to the Wonderland of Doom, in which case, its death must definitely be their doing. "Hmph. They dare to tear their face with us, do they?"
