Chapter 120 - Mountain Of Will
Chapter 120 - Mountain Of Will
keeping a close tail on Rebecca, Dante flashed along the ground, speeding various buildings and structures as he traveled through the academy grounds.
soon, they started seeing less and less buildings as they approached a more plant filled area.
As Dante was admiring his surroundings, he seemed to lose track of Rebecca for a few seconds. But just a few seconds later, Dante suddenly felt someone grab him by both shoulders.
Instantly, Dante could feel his body rising as he started to go higher and higher into the air
Dante didn't even have to think twice and already knew what was happening.
"Fuck!"
"Rebecca, put me down. This isn't funny!"
seeing Dante become flustered, Rebecca only chuckled as a wide smile appeared on her face
"hahaha! Don't be such a killjoy Dante. It'll be more fun if you see things from the air for once."
But Rebecca's cheerful smile didn't last for long before it quickly twisted into a ugly grimace.
"Fuck!"
"Dante, what on Earth is wrong with you! Why do you weigh so much!"
hearing Rebecca's comments, Dante felt his blame and was unjust and quickly defended himself
"hey! It's not my fault. Don't blame me, blame the sword for all this extra weight!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The moonlight sword didn't take kindly to these comments and let its opinion be fully known.
knowing that if he carried on the sword would continue complaining m, Dante went and corrected himself.
"Fine. It's not the sword that weighs a lot. In fact, it is actually me."
Dante's sentence seemed to put the sword at ease, causing it to finally quieten down.
But as good as this was, for Rebecca, this didn't change anything at all.
All she could do was grit her teeth and carry Dante and his sword into the air.
Rebecca and Dante flew across the sky, covering the hundreds of trees below them.
Soon after a short travel, Dante could finally start to make out the impression of a giant mountain in the distance.
As Dante got closer, he could see a crowd of people gathered near the bottom of the mountain.
but to Dante's horror, it seemed like the people below the mountain could also see him as well.
"Who's that up there in the sky?" asked a confused disciple
the crowds were puzzled by the strange sight up in the sky.
this confusion continued until a new disciple exclaimed
"Hold on! Isn't that the new Dragon Son of the Department of War?"
"What?!?"
who could imagine it?
The new Dragon Son of the Hidden Dragon Academy would be pittifully dragged through the air.
Dante couldn't take the humiliation any longer and broke free from Rebbeca's hold.
As soon as he broke free, he suddenly felt himself rapidly falling through the air.
wind brushed furiously against his face as he shot towards the ground, but despite him getting closer and closer to the ground, Dante didn't panic and slowly brought out his greatsword into his hand.
Instantly, the sword burst into a brilliant aquamarine light.
With a terrifying force is strength, Dante then quickly brought down his sword
"Boom!"
a shock wave spread outwards from him, showing the strength of this attack
The after shock of his attack was so powerful it caused Dante to go back up, cancelling out his falling force.
"Thud!"
Dante then landed firmly, causing cracks to form on the ground.
This was because although Dante managed to cancel out some of the force, he still hit the ground with the quite a strong impact, causing cracks to spread out across the floor from his feet.
Despite all this, Dante still managed to land safely on the ground. So after lights dusting himself off, Dante slowly made his ways to the base of the mountain
As Dante left for the mountain, the rest of the crowd was still left in shock.
That madman! He really jumped down from such a ridiculous height. Does he even want to live?
The rest of the crowd could do nothing but watch one in disbelief as Dante left to start the challenge...
...
now at the foot of the mountain, Dante could feel countless eyes on him.
The welcoming ceremony was a special event in The Hidden Dragon Academy and almost all students and teachers had come to watch it.
As the new Dragon Son, Dante was naturally the centre of attention, causing the hundreds of spectators here to want to watch his display.
Dante tried to ignore this feeling as best as he could do and instead looked around to see his fellow competitors.
As expected, Dante could barely recognise anyone here.
It seemed like most of the people he met yesterday didn't want to take this exam. But just as Dante thought he wouldn't be able to meet anyone, he suddenly saw a familiar cold faced youth.
he was in his usual plain white robe and held a rusty sword by his waist.
Klent also seemed to notice Dante's gaze and briefly nodded in his direction before going back to focus on the mountain in front of him.
Dante was about to approach Klent, but once he saw the serious look on his face, he knew that any conversation with him would just be distracting him. Klent seemed to be taking this extremely seriously, so Dante decided not to interfere.
suddenly, as all this was going on, a woman popped out from the sky and appeared out of nowhere.
It was Olivia, the current head of the Department of Alchemy and Medicine.
after looking down on everyone for a few seconds, Olivia Finally started to speak.
"Hello and welcome to the welcoming ceremony of The Hidden Dragon Academy"
"I'm sure those of you that have been here for a few years are already familiar with this process, but let me explain it once again for the newcomers.
The welcoming ceremony consists of just one simple test, the Mountain of will.
let's talk about the mountain of will more, shall we?"
