Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 176 - Go And Ask The Main Orb To Be Shut Down!

That scene was really miraculous to the mages standing around the head master, as they already knew Arthur's orb's fate. As the orb still stood in the hands of Arthur, they knew something huge was going to happen here.

However, the head master standing here didn't share their shocking impression on Arthur, instead he was greatly humiliated and threatened by this young, nameless mage. He glanced deeply at him, with much hatred and anger, trying to figure out a way to stop this test.

"You, go inside and report a malfunctioning of the main orb, make them shut it down now, or else I won't be able to approve these test results," the head master had already found his way out, as he used his authority to threaten the academy of not approving of these test results, under the accusation of an error occurring to the main orb.

However, it never occurred before that the main orb would have an error! Not even once! The mages standing here all knew that, and yet the one who got the order just nodded, and instantly darted towards the inside of the academy.

What the head master here didn't know was that the academy already had taken notice of what was going on to the main orb, as the guarding mages responsible for maintaining it had already noticed this bizarre phenomenon occurring to the main orb, and they hurriedly reported it to the higher ups at once.

In front of these mages' eyes, the huge orb that reached the size of a ten stories building had been quite stirred up with something, and all the five main forms of energies inside it started to act strangely, like there was something stimulating them all!

If it was one or two forms of energy, the mages wouldn't be much surprised by that. it wasn't rare to find a genius or two among the new batch of the mages partaking the test outside the academy walls, but this time was deemed to be quite different.

Not only the four main forms of energy got stirred up, the fifth forbidden energy was also restless. It was really strange, as the lightning energy never reacted to anyone before, except for a handful of masters.

This made them report what happened here to the higher ups, and just as they were waiting for the decision to be made, the mage the head master of the competition sent had just arrived.

"The head master of the annual competition has a report to make, as he suspects the bias of the orb, an error occurring to it, and requests the main orb to be shut down immediately, or else he wouldn't approve the current test results."

The mage stated exactly what his master just told him to say, however the reply he got made him realize the plan of his master was doomed to fail.

"A failure in the main orb? The main orb never makes a mistake! We have already reported this to the higher ups, just wait here with us until we get the instructions from them," one of the mages responsible for this orb replied, with a faint dissatisfying look over his face.

Any insult to the main orb was taken as an insult to this group of mages, as they considered their task to maintain the main orb as their sacred task in this life.

The mage sent by the head master just nodded, as he already had seen such a result even before he moved a finger. His master tried to use his influence to force these mages to follow his orders, but he was slightly late, and the changes occurring here to the main orb weren't known to his master, which would really enrage him more if he learnt about them.

His master would aim towards making other mages surpass this youngster later on, but if that youngster already created such a ruckus already, how could his master pull this feat then?

A bunch of mages surpassing the new genius in the academy without stirring the main orb would be so suspicious! Everyone would know his master had manipulated and interfered illegally in this test, and thus his master position would be questioned even by the higher ups in the academy.

He sighed, as his master greed was endless, and this greed seemed to lead to his demise so soon.

Arthur wasn't aware of any of that, he even wasn't aware of any time passing on him right now. all his attention was focused on how to utilize this chance to the utmost potential of it.

His body had already crossed the initial upgrade he had from these energies, and right now he was strengthening the newly formed body and cleansing his energy much more.

He was so familiar and very experienced at doing that, as the life of cultivators always relied on simply doing these two things! He started to make use of every ounce of energy pouring into his body, not caring of its origin or nature, as long as his body could use it, he wouldn't hesitate to absorb it.

His suction force was a new experience for him, and through it he felt the presence of such a large place full of energies at the end of this orb's connection. He didn't busy himself with thinking about the nature of this, or if there were any consequences for his actions or not, all he cared about was to get stronger.

Even if there were consequences, and what he was doing was greatly forbidden in the academy, what he gained would be his, and no one could take anything back.

That made his greed for more growth much fiercer, as he doubted he would enjoy such luxurious coincidental treatment again.

As inside the academy, as the mages stood there waiting for the reply of the higher ups, a group of mages suddenly appeared in the place, making them all startled, feeling very nervous, and gave a scare to them.

These mages weren't any normal ones, as each single mage of them had already a very respectful place inside the supreme council of the academy, and the most shocking thing was that they were led by the vice dean of the academy herself!

She was such a legendary figure already, riding over her extremely renown monster, the legendary phoenix!

They were five mages, and in addition to the vice dean, the other famous mage was also present, Cesile!

"Oho, this quite a scene to behold," Cesile chuckled the moment her eyes fell over this large orb, as she recognized what was going on here with a single glance.

She wasn't the only one to recognize these changes, as the other four beside her had already recognized this scene. "Never thought someone would be crazy enough to directly connect to the main orb, does he have a suicidal wish?" the vice dean softly murmured, with her extremely cold and straight forward face that never showed any other reaction other than this!

The ice queen of the academy, that was strangely her name, despite her main attribute was fire!

"Don't speak about this mage like this, Amanda, this mage is really courageous and he or she must be commended for this action," one of the three male mages replied, as he was standing on the back of his legendary flying falcon with three heads, five pairs of wings, and a long snake-like armed tail with body covered in thick brown scales instead of feathers.

"Otman, don't give this mage credit yet until he or she finishes the test with their life intact!" Amanda replied, with her cold usual tone, before she glanced at the group of mages down there before asking the one sent to her by the head master:

"You are from the competition, what are you doing here?"

The mage really got a scare, and his feet were now soft. He knew his master's position in the academy was so high, but not even close to be compared to any of the five standing up above. As he hesitated, out of fear, another mage of the five said:

"Please show some mercy on the poor child, he already is about to die in his place from fear."

"Sigh, just reply, and don't be afraid, we won't bite you," another mage said, while his face expression showed he would delightedly do that to him.

"M-My master sent me here to check on the main orb, as something weird was going on with one of the mages at the test," the mage replied, keeping the threats of his master hidden from these mighty beings.

"He was sent by the head master of the annual competition asking with great audacity to shut down the main orb or else he wouldn't approve the results of the test," one of the mages who were tasked by maintaining the main orb hurriedly said, with great rage inside him from the precious insult he and his fellows took here from that head master!
