Chapter 248 Uladia [2] - Group Arrangements [1]
Looking down at the crystal talisman in his hand that pulsed with mana, Silas closed his eyes and felt the energy within.
"Group number 32." Silas nodded to himself and looked around. He also had the names of everyone in his group and their capabilities to a certain extent. It told him whether they were a mage or a warrior, an alchemist, a blacksmith, etcetera. It told him everyone's elements but seemed to leave out the level of everyone's power as if it knew that not stating it would create problems between teammates.
'Bastards…' Silas sneered to himself before looking around himself with a light stare. He also had a description of everyone, and if that wasn't enough, all the students were seemingly shouting their group number, allowing people to gather into their groups with only a little difficulty.
However, there was one person he recognized due to their image being shown when he channeled his mana into the talisman.
With the help of his mystic eyes, it didn't take Silas long for him to find his teammates. However, as surprising as it might be, he wasn't too disappointed by the arrangement. They were pretty strong… Hell, they were much stronger than he expected them to be.
There were five people in his group, including himself. However, only 3 of them were currently grouped. One was a girl with short black hair and an amazing physique. She looked like she could snap almost all the boys in the academy in half with ease, and her toki only supported that image Silas had in his mind.
"We will meet again." Silas smiled at Gigi and extended his hand while scanning the other two quickly. It was a little surprising how quickly they found each other, especially when Silas was the one with mystic eyes. However, when looking at their mana cores and toki and analyzing them for possible abnormalities, he understood that each and every one of them was good at something.
"Hmm. Maybe I overestimated you." Gigi narrowed her eyes before stepping forward and grabbing Silas' hand. He felt her squeezing a little, yet since it didn't really affect him, he didn't squeeze back or retaliate in any way. He continued to smile at her as if he knew what she was trying to do.
"You're intelligent, though. I can tell you that much. Maybe you will be of use to this team." The corner of Gigi's lips curved upwards, letting out a small smile.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Silas let go of her hand and looked toward the next person. He was a young man wearing exquisitely crafted armor. The runes adorned upon the armor's surface glowed in Silas' mystic vision, and he could tell that they were of a quite high level.
'Powerful family backing. Or he has an organization backing him, which is always a possibility with these kids.' Silas concluded before looking at the boy's ears.
'Elf with silver hair. Maybe he has the bloodline of an air mage. He doesn't look anything out of the ordinary, though. I heard Elves get more attractive the stronger their bloodline runs. The same can be said for their power. They won't be able to reach higher levels if their bloodline is weak, and they tend not to have many toki users. Yet, this one is…' He smiled at the elf boy before extending his hand toward him. However, instead of shaking his hand, the elf politely declined the handshake and lightly bowed toward Silas.
"Hmm?" Silas raised a brow in confusion.
"Elves have a tradition of not touching creatures of nature, or at least that's what they call it. Most Elves don't bother with such a tradition since they've been intermingled with our races for a very long time. However, certain elves, especially noble ones, still follow the tradition." A young man popped out of the side.
'Maybe I should have bothered to learn more about their culture than just their powers.' Silas inwardly sighed before bowing to the elf and turning to the young man by his side.
'Another Elves? Are we trying to fulfill a racial quota or something? Is the next member going to be a beastkin or something?' Silas didn't show his confusion. This boy had long hair that covered his ears. His hair was a lime green, a color Silas hadn't seen often in the last few years of his life that he had spent learning more about the world around him.
'The last one with lime green hair was an elf, too, right?'
"This is Alcraz Frenrir. He thinks he's all high and mighty, so he refuses to touch humans because his father told him that you guys are filthy." The lime-haired elf let out a belly laugh.
"You're making me look like a racist." Alcraz's brow twitched.
"Are you not?" Gigi suddenly chimed in with a genuinely curious expression.
'He's not?' Silas inwardly asked.
"No. Of course not." Alcraz maintained his posture and dignity, keeping a low and understanding tone as he spoke. "I simply have to save face. If other elves saw me intermingling with humans the same way Deton does, it would be the talk of the Silver City." Alcraz sighed.
"With that attitude you'll never know the pleasures of human women!" Deton exclaimed in outrage while Gigi flinched.
"The human women are so much better than the Elves! Their standards are so low! You could get married to several in less than a month!" Deton spoke with a disgusting smile on his face that made even Silas flinch in slight disgust.
"Perverted bastard," A feminine voice suddenly spoke out from the side. Looking to the side, Silas' eyes fell upon a woman in a beautiful white dress. However, when he looked at her face, he could not help but narrow his eyes.
'That dress does not seem very battle-friendly.'
This was their last teammate, Siltheria Gernin, also known as the poison mistress, one of the most dangerous students at the academy.
