Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 1089 Anxious

Feeling anxious about his master, Emery could feel his dark core tremble chaotically.

Emery once again calmed himself as he went through the teleportation gate that would send him straight from the Light Institute to the Darkness Institute.

Stepping out of the portal, Emery slightly rotated his hand and created a Spatial Gate heading directly to his master's place.

"Master Xion!" Emery shouted as his eyes swept the area around him, searching for the figure he wanted to see.

Unfortunately for him, the small house was empty and it looked as if no one had been around for a few weeks.

There was no indication of anything, and there was actually no reason for Emery to be this worried. However, whether it was a gut feeling or the side effect of the urge, Emery decided to go to the institute to ask about his master.

"Acolyte Ambrose, I'm sorry but I have no information about Instructor Xion's whereabouts," answered the staff.

A surprised look appeared on Emery's face. "What do you mean?! ..Are you saying that you don't know where he is?"

"That's all I can say, acolyte. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

Emery was annoyed. How could they not know where Magus Xion was when the man was an official instructor of the institute whose whereabouts needed to always be known in case of emergency.

The anxiety within Emery only continued to grow receiving such answers. At that moment, Emery thought of someone who might be able to help him. Therefore he quickly accessed his privileged bracelet to contact her.

Before long, a reply came from the other side.

[You are looking for your master? Wait there]

Leaving the Darkness Institute building, Emery made his way to the teleportation portal to wait for the person he had just contacted. A few minutes later, a familiar figure stepped out of the portal.

It was none other than Annara Vermont, a prominent figure in the Darkness Institute and the junior of Magus Xion.

Emery was about to speak, but the red-haired girl beat him to it. "You also don't know where he went, Emery? Actually, we have been looking for him too. As his disciple, I thought you knew where he was!"

The girl's way of speaking which lacked her usual teasing and jokes only made Emery grow more anxious. On the other hand, Annara's expression turned even more serious after seeing Emery's reaction.

"When was the last time you spoke to him, Emery?"

"....before the midtest."

The answer brought a slight pain to Emery's chest. He realized the last time he met Magus Xion was more than four months ago. At that moment, he couldn't help but think that he should have come to see his master more often.

The red-haired girl also looked unusually restless as she said, "Xion has always been a predictable person. If not because of you, the other reason could only be because… he was doing a task for the headmaster."

Since she thought that Emery had a good relationship with the new headmaster, Annara hoped that he would ask the matter. And with this information and anxiety gnawing at his heart, Emery planned to do just that.

"I'm coming with you." Annara said, surprising him. "Well, I actually came to inquire on behalf of the dark institute."

Emery just nodded as he didn't mind her coming along.

The two of them headed to the Magus Academy and made their way to the headmaster's chamber which was located just a bridge away from the academy. As they got closer to where they could see the guards on duty, Annara whispered to Emery.

"Remember, Emery, if they don't let you in… you have to insist."

As expected, the saint-level guards on duty stopped the two of them in their tracks.

"Halt! You are not allowed to be here!"

Gazing at the one who seemed to be the leader of the guard squad, Emery smiled. "Can you please inform the headmaster that Emery Ambrose is here, if the headmaster not busy, i wish to ask something regarding Magus Xion"

Although inwardly very anxious, Emery maintained his attitude and politely asked the guard to pass on his message.

Fortunately, it seemed his name was somewhat famous as the head guard appeared to be aware of who he was. The man quickly sent one of them to inform the headmaster, and a few minutes later, the guard slightly bowed to Emery.

"Acolyte Ambrose, you may enter. The headmaster is waiting for you."

The two turned to each other, both feeling relieved by the guard's words. However, just as Annara took one step, she was stopped by the guards.

"The headmaster said only Acolyte Ambrose."

The red-haired girl was quickly annoyed at being refused to meet the headmaster. She tried to bring up her privileged status, even her relation to the Darkness Institute; however, she was still not allowed entry.

Emery calmed her down. "Don't worry, Annara, just wait here. I'll tell you what I found out later"

The red-haired girl was still annoyed, but accepted his suggestion in the end.

After thanking the guards, Emery made his way towards the headmaster's chamber. As he pushed the door open, he was greeted by the sight of two people waiting inside. The first one was Headmaster Delbrand who sat behind his huge table, while the other was a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a pitch black uniform – a Grand Magus.

Looking at the other person, Emery became hesitant and said, "I apologize, headmaster. I didn't realize you had a guest."

The headmaster waved his hand and casually said, "No trouble at all... Emery. Let me introduce you. This is Magistrate Griffith."

Seeing a glimpse of the black uniform the well-built Magistrate wore beneath his robe, Emery immediately realized the identity of the other party. The man was an Enforcer.

The grand magus looked at Emery with a friendly look as he said, "So you are the young wolf that people talk about. I was told that you were there when my predecessor Kadek and Leon's team fought their last fight."

Emery gave his respect to the middle-aged man before replying, "Yes, elder. They all fought bravely."

"Yes, of course they are."

Emery then looked at Headmaster Delbrand, his gaze clearly showing what he wanted. Seeing that, the headmaster said.

"If you are looking for your master, yes I do know where he is because I did give him a mission."

Emery's face brightened when he heard that. But the next second, his face changed.

"Unfortunately, I can't say anything further about it."
