Chapter 58 – Fake Scouting
After the incident with Jull the principal somehow managed to hide everything from the other students. As for Jull it seems he is still in custody with the principal. Two days later classes then resumed. I opened the door and saw that there were some students who are absent…
Nelus: Where are Kalba, Mita and Jawa?
Welg: It seems they are scouted for the army of light.
Nelus: I see… then I wish them luck… for today I will once again give you instructions about the next spells to learn… except for Meril as she had already mastered the elemental spells scheduled for today.
Daqual: Hahh… Meril is so lucky that her aptitude is so high… in just a few weeks she already overtook us…
Meril: I-I’m sorry!
Yima: Daqual… don’t bully Meril.
Yima said bashfully…
Daqual: A-ah!! Yima I didn’t mean it!
Daqual said frantically losing his usual composure. Meril then tugs Yima’s shirt and said…
Meril: U-uhm! He didn’t bully me so please don’t be mad at him.
Yima: I’m not mad…
Daqual: Thanks Meril!
Meril: Y-your welcome…
Suddenly, the guy wearing a cloak and a mask approaches me…
Terul: Sir Nelus, where is that dragon race boy that you brought yesterday?
Nelus: He’s back at the mansion… did your voice get a little higher?
Terul: I…
Suddenly the door opened and what entered the room made all of the other students wide eyed with anger pervading their senses. What entered the room were 2 people all beaten up… it was Mita and Jiwa.
Welg: Mita! Wh-what happened!
Mita then tried to speak as she coughs out some blood… Jiwa then stopped Mita as Mita nodded…
Jiwa: We thought we were scouted for the army of light… when it was actually some soldiers from the army of light under the command of the “Forceful Commander” Melgard… they were just using us for their amusement… beating us up and forcefully making us fight saying that it was something their commander thought them… saying that class 82 are a bunch of weaklings…
Welg: Shameful! Soldiers doing this to other students!? They are but mere hooligans!
Daqual: Where is Kalba?
Jiwa: He…
Mita: He used himself as bait… to somehow let us escape…
Jiwa: Mita! Don’t talk… your injured…
Mita: Ahaha… your injured too…
Welg seeing his classmates like this reaches his boiling point as he grinds his teeth, his father always told him that “to protect those important to you is the duty of a man!” He then stands up as Nelus stops him.
Welg: Sir Nelus! You can’t be saying that we should let this be!?
Nelus: Lets go get back Kalba.
Welg: Sir Nelus…
Hearing Nelus’ words, Welg couldn’t help but grin as he signaled the others to go. By the time we arrive near the arena, around the middlemost area, the atmosphere felt quite peculiar… the student that were watching was trembling… I see some teachers clenching their fist as if they couldn’t do anything. Rezald is also here forcefully shouting at his students to let him go.
Rezald: That’s bro Nelus’ student getting beat up there! I need to do something!
???: Great, Sir Rezald… please don’t! We don’t want you to be fired! Its not allowed for anyone to get in the way of the duel…
???: Yeah, and until the boy says he gives up no one can intervene…
Rezald: You still call that a duel!? That boy has long lost his consciousness and he is still getting beat up! As a teacher as well as Bro Nelus friend, I can’t let this be!
???: Great, awesome, wonderful Sir Rezald…
The students then look at Rezald with intense admiration… as Rezald spot Nelus…
Rezald: Bro Nelus! Your student…
Nelus: I know…
Nelus then had a cold look on his face as he releases his pressure… the two who was kicking around the unconscious student suddenly stopped as they suddenly knelt on the floor, unable to stand up. The other 2 was looking at them dumbfounded as they suddenly felt the pressure getting stronger and stronger… it was Nelus… getting closer…
???: Gah… its that X rank teacher everyone was talking about…
???: Heh, he’s still a teacher he can’t possibly…
Before finishing her sentence Nelus suddenly appeared in front of her… she then unconsciously put up her guard as Nelus was suddenly gone… he was carrying Kalba out of the arena. The girl then glared at Nelus and shouted…
Olpa: H-hey! You can’t just take him away from the arena! He still haven’t said that he give up! Return him here! I am the captain of 2nd Division from the army of light Olpa Dase!!
Kalba: I… give… up…
Olpa: H-how… (We cast a mute spell on his mind… how did he speak?)
They didn’t notice that when Nelus turned around he immediately casts Restore healing Kalba’s state of mind.
Kalba: Teacher… you came…
Kalba said with a smile on his plump face as tears poured out… the other student’s seeing this were furious but they didn’t dare move seeing Nelus’ expression… it was cold and indifferent… as he cast Aqua Rejuvenation to heal him. He asked the others to look after them.
Olpa: What? You’re a teacher right? You can’t do anything to… us…
Nelus’ eyes turned yellow as clouds gather towards his hands forming a glove like misty figure as lightning static forth. The soldier was suddenly filled with dread seeing the power in front of them equaling X rank… the soldier in front of him was only a group of A ranks while the woman named Olpa was an S rank.
???: H-hiii!
Nelus: I challenge you to a…
Before Nelus finishes his sentence a man came through the main door and shouted…
Melgard: I am Melgard, I saw what happened a mere teacher acting upon one of my soldiers!? You should know your place I should tell the principal…
Andros: You should tell me what?
Melgard: That… gah!?
While Melgard was speaking Andros butted in… Melgard flinched at his sudden appearance as the students laughed… Melgard then became flustered as well as furious…
Andros: I have a better idea! 4 of your students will duel against four of Nelus’ students and if he wins you will lose your title as commander while Nelus will gain the position and if he loses he will become one of your soldiers.
Melgard: You must be joking!?
Andros: So you don’t want an X rank as a soldier?
Melgard: I-I…
Melgard hesitated to speak obviously tempted by the idea as Andros just nodded at Nelus… one of the 4 teachers by Andros then said…
???: Will he be able to handle them? I mean they are trained soldiers…
Andros: And that is why their probability of losing is higher.
???: How is that so?
Andros: Hahaha!! I think they thought they are more than a match with Nelus’ students and that is why they will let their guard down. I have seen how Nelus’ classes go and I think right now his students can’t be a match by the other students anymore.
???: How strong have they become?
Andros: Just wait and see.
Melgard: You heard the principal pick your 4 best students against my soldiers! (Now I’ll get myself an X rank soldier then somehow get the position of supreme commander huhuhu… no matter how you think about it they are just a bunch of students they can’t win against trained soldiers.)
???: Hehehe… easy win…
Welg: I’ll fight too!
Nelus: Alright: Welg, Meril, Cheil and Terul, is that okay?
Meril: I-I’ll do my best!
Cheil: Alright.
Terul: If it is your order…
Welg: Let’s do this!
Welg then enters the arena as well as a male soldier with an arrogant grin. He then summoned his mana weapon, a sword as Welg didn’t. Seeing this the Soldier became furious.
???: Aren’t you going to summon your mana weapon!?
Welg: I don’t need to.
Hearing Welg, Andros had a peculiar light as well as a proud expression towards his son. The soldier then returns his sword as he glared at Welg disdainfully.
They then started… both of them were still waiting for the other one to move. The soldier wanting to finish this as quick as he can moved… he used the spell, Lux Boost, one of the most basic light spells which was often used because of its fast casting. It strengthens the area it was directed as well as quickens it… he used this on his feet as he quickly rush over to Welg. Seeing Welg wasn’t panicking he jumps up and tries to jump kick towards Welg. Welg grinned as the mana around him turns to water as it stockpiles in front of him, quickly forming a wall… it was a spell called,
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Welg chose the right moment to do this so that once the wall forms the soldier would be stuck within it. Welg frowned as only his foot was stuck, the soldiers reflexes were faster than he thought but even so he didn’t let this chance go by. He used a spell called
Welg, taking this as a challenge also used a light spell. Light gathers on his palm forming a short sword… it was an elemental weapon! An elemental weapon like stated before are proofs of a mage reaching A or S rank, though it is easier said than done. Like mana weapons it is something which uses mana except the difference is that there is no “vessel” to imbue mana with, instead, you convert the mana while mending it to a specific form you are comfortable with. Once the form is chosen, it cannot be changed as it becomes the trademark magic of the mage like Nelus’
Welg throws the sword leaving the soldier momentarily stunned as you can’t resummon the same elemental weapon until you release it. It collides with the soldiers spell, messing with each other’s trajectory. Welg then rushes at the soldier while water gathered on his palm forming a short sword except it was more sleek and solid looking. He then slashes at the soldier as the soldier blocked but it was actually a feint. He collides with the soldier by tackling him as he stab the sword on the soldier’s shoulder part of his clothes as it sticks to the ground preventing the soldier from standing up. Before they state the match over he punches the soldier’s face heavily leaving him unconscious as he releases the sword’s form.
Welg: That’s for what you did to my classmates… ahh that felt good.
Seeing this scene everyone was shocked that he easily beat a soldier. The other 3 soldiers then clenched their fist hoping to get revenge for their members. Then a girl got up on the arena as well as Meril.
Meril: I-I am sorry for what I am going to do!
???: What are you blabbering abbbbffff…
As the match was signaled to start a massive amount of wind gathered above Meril forming a dense sphere… the soldier’s face went paled as Meril shouted…
Meril: I’m sorrryyy!!
Meril then releases the sphere… seeing that its size as well as its wind’s properties of easily spreading after use it easily cover’s the whole arena as it touches the floor and explodes leaving no room for the soldier to escape… the soldier then flew outside the arena as she went completely unconscious.
Welg: Good job Meril!
Meril: Ehehe…
Meril blushed as she suddenly became frantic about the soldier seeing that there were no major injuries she sighed in relief. Melgard then panicked he wasn’t expecting them to be so strong, luckily he has both the captain which was Olpa as well as the vice captain still rearing to go. He signaled Olpa to go first as Nelus signaled Terul as Terul nodded and headed towards the arena.
Olpa: Get ready to taste defeat! Also its rude to wear a mask during duels take it of!
Terul ignored her as he stood which made Olpa furious… before the match started she grinned as she used a C rank quick spell called,
Terul FalleTitle:Dragon Bound, Elite QuickdrawRace:Holy Aqua DragonGenderFemaleLevel:162ClassRanger(Sniper)Existence:A-C
The only differences are the gender as well as that title… he… she is one of the holy dragons the only differences they have from the dragons in the land of the sky is that they are weaker but can hold mana within them and that they cannot use the energy called “Pure Energy” that wind element beings use. Terul then quickly used the spell,
Terul then walks down the arena as all of them approach her.
Welg: I thought you were a guy!?
Terul: I “was” but our gender changes until we get to a certain state… I wanted to be a guy but he ruined it…
Nelus: Who? (State… the only difference in her status was the title dragon bound so I think it has something to do with it.)
Terul: That dragon race child you brought! When I saw him I somehow felt a connection… I want to meet him…
Cheil: I guess I wasn’t needed.
Welg: Ahahaha…
Welg had a dry laugh thinking that the one left was lucky as if Cheil was the one who enters… Welg’s face suddenly paled remembering her peculiar spell that uses her dark fire element.
Welg: Also… I didn’t know that you’re that type Terul…
Welg had a questioning look as he tries to pry Terul of her “thoughts” about the child Nelus brought.
Terul: It isn’t like that! It just that… well you see our race can have the gender we want until we reach adulthood… except for some cases like meeting a dragon of royal blood. The dragons of our race will bow down towards a royal dragon and will be bound to them, though once 3 of our race is bound to a royal blood the others of our race will not be affected as for the bound ones they will become the opposite gender of the royal whether they want to or not. At all cost you must never let him reach 3.
Nelus: What happens if he does?
Nelus asked curiously.
Terul: He will be forever bound to our lands, never to leave.
Nelus: I see…
Terul: So starting then, I am now his… hahh… I got bound to a kid…
Everyone went silent, not knowing how to react as Melgard enters the arena.
Melgard: H-how about all students against me! (I work so hard in getting the position, I can’t lose it now…)
Nelus sighed as he entered the arena… Melgard paled as Nelus said.
Nelus: You are their commander right so it should be fitting that I will battle you as I am their teacher.
Melgard: W-wait lets talk this thro…
As they signal the match to begin, Nelus used Lightning Force as he punch Melgard’s stomach as he convulses in pain while smashing towards the wall while groaning in pain…
Melgard: ugh…
Nelus: (He didn’t dodge…)
Welg: So fast!
Welg retort as he laughed bitterly because out of all the matches… his was the longest…
Andros: I am proud of all of you. Nelus, once the war starts you will be stated as commander.
Nelus: I promised Ciall that I will help. Changing positions won’t change that so I’ll accept. What about them?
Andros: The 4 soldiers will be transferred to your class as you will become their instructor if you don’t mind.
Nelus: I don’t mind but they will be lectured strictly for what they have done to my students.
Everyone had wry smiles expecting this answer as well as pity for the four… Nelus’ “strict lecture” can be said to be like a militaristic kind of teaching by doing hard trials like stopping Nelus’ low class spells with their group effort by combining their spells. Of course at first they tried to stop it alone on the first time thinking that it was just a low class spell. It was their big mistake… they then chuckled thinking about how the four would handle Nelus’ lecture. Hearing this Jiwa, Mita and Kalba no longer resent the 4 but only pity them. Andros then spoke.
Andros: As for Melgard he will be working under another commander.
Nelus: I see… well let’s go back to class and bring those 4 I’ll heal them along the way. They will be your new classmates, treat them well.
Everyone-in-unison: Yes!
