Chapter 595 Island residents’s greetings

Chapter 595  Island residents’s greetings 

[Eon's POV: ]

'Well, well, well. It was sudden, and instead of surprising, I would say this usual thing was expected. At least for the teachers. For students, this was chaos once again.'

-Pum-parump-pum!

It all happened moments after the Naga and other higher-intelligence beings arrived here so it was a huge surprise for all of them.

To suddenly see a whale on a sky island floating in the sky with such a large quantity of water that it seemed to be a river itself, a white eagle with shining feathers that seemed to be gold with so many birds that when they arrived here, a shadow was cast all through the garden, and then there were ground and underground creatures…

It was a hullabaloo for the beasts but for the poor students who had never even seen a hundred energy beasts together, this sudden gathering of thousands of creatures was nothing less than a primordial shock if I said so myself.

'They were just too shocked, lol.'

"KHEHEHETRRRRSK."

The time was flowing even quicker as the atmosphere was filled with the cheerful sounds of all the creatures, but for the students who were looking around at the creatures, this was more of a fearful experience than anything fun.

[{ Hohoho. Welcome, everyone. }]

But as I knew, Sir Quesnel spoke up with his unique voice and a wave of calmness washed over all of their innate worries and at least calmed their hearts.

{ "WE GREET THE GREAT FATHER!" }

"MUHOOOOOOOOON!"

And then, the creatures who possessed Mana speech including the giant blue whale, the white eagle, the three city dwellers: the cat, mouse, and tiger trio, as well as the others, shouted their greeting all at once and paid their respects to the ancient tree in their own way.

He was the oldest, wisest, and most respected being in this land so their greeting was obviously an expected thing, but the way the intelligent beings on the stage didn't do anything in particular to show their respect to him, was something many students who noticed this found strange to comprehend.

They were special, the students could tell that much, but they were still the residents of this island like all these creatures present here then, They should have also done something to show their respects to the great ancient oak.

'However, they just stood there and bowed a little, which, in my opinion, was some of the most sincere greeting those creatures would give to a being like him.'

One reason they were all in a separate group from all the other creatures was their intelligence and the ability to use a complicated technique like teleportation. However, the second reason was their understanding of the truth that the other creatures did not know about this island and this tall ancient tree.

'Sir Quesnel, however respected he may be in this academy, was still something that was restricting many things to all the elements on this island. He was controlling some aspects of this nature artificially, and as the creatures of nature who knew of this certain fact, they couldn't respect him the way all the other ignorant creatures did.'

But these intelligent creatures also knew there was a certain reason he had to do what he did. They all might die otherwise if he stopped doing one of the core tasks he was assigned by his creators.'

He didn't mind they didn't like him that much as long as they were good to all the people here and these intelligent creatures had a strong friendship with the headmaster so he didn't have to worry about them at all.

They were all here for this event just like the other creatures and the creatures were here to meet all the students and find a partner they could be with and do unique and fun things with.

'Though, they were primarily here because Sir Ques had called them.'

There were thousands of energy beasts all around us and many of them were young children. Some of them were even infants carried by their mothers or guardians so it wasn't like they were here specifically for the students.

For them, the students were secondary things, perhaps tertiary. Some of them might not even know they were going to meet so many people in this place. But for my fellow students, this amazing scenery before them was a piece of great amazement, fear, and reluctance.

{ "Hello to everyone present here. It is a pleasure to have you all here among us like this on this fine day." }

Headmaster greeted all the creatures with his Mana-infused voice and I knew this was the start of the first phase of today's grand event.

He was smiling as well, so it was easy to say he was looking forward to something more unique.

[{ "It's starting Eon." }]

[{ "Yeah. And I can see they have started noticing everyone's unique presence." }]

[{ "They will jump on us, won't they?" }]

[{ "I think so they will, yes. Be careful not to hurt them though. Most of them are weaker than what we are used to." }]

[{ "Yes I know that… but aren't they cute~!" }]

Here she goes again, calling things that are generally considered a source of fear by most others 'cute'.

'She's the cutest thing here though. Even those googly-joogly babies paled before her cuteness… or perhaps not? Hey, they are actually adorable this time.'

There were many baby creatures and they all looked so cute that even I was getting off the track from their innocence and pure charm.

'Ugh… they are adorable~.'

There were many of those little cuties here, mostly with their mothers and older beings accompanying them, but they were here so it was certain that we could play with them~.

[{ These young ones are the academy's new students so I hope you all will take care of them or at least give them a chance to learn some important things about life that will help them in their time forward. }]

It was the announcement of the start by Sir Quesnel so the teachers all bowed to the headmaster before spreading out all over the garden, taking charge of a certain group of creatures that they had already been assigned to.

I saw Uncle El going towards the giant whale, the guardian being of the only lake on this sky island, and an entity that's perhaps as old as the headmaster. Our homeroom teacher Sir Jez, on the other hand, went towards the white-gold eagle, the holy bird that was a sixth-generation leader of all the birds on the island.

Some of them occupied the area with the creatures they were most suited for but still, Lady Vivi was going to be in charge of the largest group here.

'But, the signal was given and it wasn't just for the students, it was for the creatures as well, so…'

-Thudum. Thudum! Thudum!!!

-Flop. Flop. Flop. Flop!

-Shruuuuuuu…

"MUHAAAAAAAA!"

"ZHAPTZHAPTZHAPT!"

"Tktktktktktktkt!"

The creatures were surrounding us students but at the signal, they all also spread out and started gathering around the students they all found the most attractive.

It was the start, and some students were going to find their partners among them, but for some of us who already had a familiar, their presence was going to be a little different from the other hopeful love finders…
