Chapter 383 - Returning To The Academy
"Follow me, we have little time to waste," he said before he headed straight towards the other big red star. Others followed and the new ones were really excited by this new trip.
As Arthur passed the star, he appeared again in the garden of his mansion. Others followed him here and Tina was the most excited one of all!
"Wow, I like the air, I love the calm… not like the loud chaotic world of yours," she laughed while moving out like a baby with a giant dragon body jumping everywhere.
"Calm yourself," he laughed, before adding, "we have to go now for the first master, but first have you arranged them according to each master\'s abilities?" he directed his words to Amelia, Omar, and Randy.
"Sure, but we don\'t know what Amanda can do, so…" Randy said while pausing as he didn\'t know what to say.
"Amanda is a genius in everything," Arthur said before adding, "yet I\'m not sure she will welcome all this number," he laughed before walking to the gate, "follow me."
He moved outside the mansion to notice many eyes were observing his place. "Good, I have set up a strong defensive barrier," he muttered to himself before walking straight towards Amanda\'s mansion.
His team moved around him like their bodyguards. Tina looked very dreadful to the many eyes looking at them, and at once many bird\'s wings left the area around him to deliver this great news.
A dragon had appeared in flesh in the academy!
That was great news indeed!
Just as Arthur reached the mansion of Amanda, he noticed a strange occurrence there; many silhouettes appeared coming in and out in a hurry from the mansion.
\'Scan the area for me,\' Arthur said and the system didn\'t instantly reply.
\'Ding! There is something wrong with Amanda.\'
The system words startled Arthur as he started to rush his steps towards the mansion. The moment he and his entourage appeared, the guards standing at the front door stopped them while the one who met Arthur before said:
"My lady is extremely ill today and she apologized for not being able to attend your class for this whole week."
"I want to see her!" Arthur had such a bad omen that made him unable to leave.
"But…"
"It\'s just me," Arthur noticed the hesitation on the guard\'s face while he nervously looked at Tina.
"Alright," the guard couldn\'t refuse his demands, after all he wasn\'t just anybody now.
"I wanna come, I wanna see!" Tina was still immersed in her childish attitude, and her words startled everyone.
They never thought she could speak human tongue!
"She is fine, I can vouch for her," Arthur sighed before saying this to the stupefied guards then he entered the mansion with Tina before waiting for them to make up their minds.
As he passed the gates, he found many faces he recognized from the meeting inside the elders\' council; they were all elders!
"Something big happened," Arthur muttered before he walked under the heavy eyes of everyone entering the mansion with Tina.
Inside things looked more chaotic than ever! People were running left and right, bringing many ores, items, and even oils towards a certain direction.
"Follow me," Arthur said before adding, "and don\'t do anything reckless."
"Hmm."
Arthur reached the room where everyone was running to and fro. There he found Cesile standing nervously near the door, with Otman leaning on the distance near a large bed where he used many ores and poles to surround it.
"Oh, you came for your lesson," Cesile seemed quite distracted as she noticed him late. "And you brought your pet with you, that\'s…" she seemed not amazed to see Tina as if her mind was busy with something. "Sorry Willy, you can\'t take any lessons for a couple of days from us."
"What happened?" Arthur didn\'t stop though at the door as he entered the room to find many grim faces there. Slone was leaning on the wall with Mr. E having sad looks over the helplessly lying body on the bed.
"We…" Cesile seemed hesitant and troubled before adding, "we don\'t know what happened!" she glanced at the unconscious Amanda as if she was looking at an elder sister going to the grave. "Her servants found her like this an hour ago and then we came."
Arthur glanced like all at Amanda, lying peacefully and sleeping like beauty at the bed. Her face was extremely pale and that was strange. "I saw her hours ago, and she was fine," he muttered and his words fell in this place to drive silence upon it.
Everyone glanced at him while he ignored them all.
\'Ding! I can sense a strange aura there,\' suddenly the system said, taking the full attention of Arthur. \'What do you mean?\' he asked.
\'Ding! That kid you had from that academy, I can sense a familiar aura like her.\'
The eyes of Arthur shone brightly for a moment while he clenched his fists together. An idea popped in his mind, a very remote yet the only reasonable idea here.
\'What else do you sense?\'
\'Ding! She is poisoned! On the soul level, something even I can\'t fully ascertain.\'
\'At the soul level?\' Arthur muttered before asking, \'What can I do to help her?\'
\'Ding! You need to go and check her closely, infuse a wisp of your energy inside.\'
Arthur stood in his place motionless making everyone feel pity for him. Just as everyone thought this kid might cry at any moment; he moved!
"What are you doing?" A distasteful voice came loudly from his back, a voice he perfectly was familiar with.
And he chose to ignore him!
"Stop, what a pathetic kid like you think he is able to do?!!!"
"Roar!"
Just as Mr. B entered the room and said these vulgar rude words, Tina couldn\'t withstand his insults and roared mightly at him.. This sudden and close roar from a dragon made him pause, and his face showed a moment of fear out there.
