Earth's Greatest Magus

Once Magus Heorgar treated Emery's condition, the man proceeded to teach him a spirit energy channeling technique that would help him resist the corruption of the urge better.

After that, the magus left and returned to Zodiac City's barracks.

When Emery was done with the technique and walked back, he realized that they seemed to be one figure missing.

"She left already?" He asked.

Emery could see Klea's face looking annoyed for a moment, but it quickly changed to a serious one as she said, "Yes, and she left a message for you."

Klea repeated the message word by word and the expression on Emery's face gradually changed as the terrifying image of Grand Magus Zenonia once again popped into his mind.

He couldn't help but recall how the grand magus sent a mercenary group to attack the Terra Castle at the beginning of the year.

The Dragon magus, who had only been listening, approached the two and asked about the details of the situation. Emery explained as concisely as possible, leaving out some detail like the solitary primordial wisp of Khaos or the fact that the grand magus was involved in the elf incident in his first year at Magus Academy.

At least for now,

The reason Emery told Magus Shena this matter and involved her was not only because she was currently in charge of his safety, but also because of the fact that Grand Magus Zenonia was part of the Bat bloodline. He hoped that through the Dragon magus, perhaps there was something Zodiac City could do for this situation.

"I see, so that's the situation." Magus Shena said after Emery finished his explanation and added,

"Actually King Alduin and Grand Magus Zenonia knew far back since the academy together.. Your Patriarch Lucius was also among them."

Apparently, in their early years as a magus, the three were part of the famous half-blood group that followed the renowned former headmaster, Supreme Magus Altus Dresden's special squad. They were elite groups that specialized in tackling and performing the most difficult missions.

After hundreds of years of service, the Supreme Magus convinced the three of them to help build up the Magus Academy; and before long, the creation of the sanctuary for the half-blood in the academy – the Zodiac City.

Now knowing Emery's plight, Magus Shena decided to report the situation to King Alduin.

"You two stay here. Don't go anywhere until I get back." Magus Shena said, about to leave for the palace. However, she stopped in her tracks when she heard Emery's words.

"I can't stay here, magus. I have a challenge at the Hyperion in three days."

She turned her head and said "I'm sure Hyperion is a safe place. But don't leave anywhere without my presence." Saying those words, she took off to the air heading towards her destination.

With Magus Shena going to report to King Alduin, Emery and Klea were left alone. An awkward atmosphere surrounded the two.

Just as Emery was about to break the atmosphere, Klea suddenly turned at him with a furious stare and grabbed his arms. Without giving him a chance to speak, she mustered her energy and dragged Emery into the house, towards the bathroom.

A thought popped into Emery's mind when he realized where they were heading.

"Wait.. wait… Klea.. this.. is not a good time…"

However, contrary to his lewd thoughts, upon arriving in the bathroom, Klea pulled out a brush and started to scrub his entire body fiercely. Ferocity was palpable in her actions and facial expression.

"Huh! I will scrape off all that girl's saliva from your body!!" She said as her hand gripping the brush moved swiftly.

"Wha–!?" Emery was taken aback by what he had just heard. "I can do that myse— Wait Kle– slow do–"

What came after was not a bath, but instead torture. Klea brushed his body so 'thoroughly' that Emery felt as if his skin was about to be ripped off his body.

After Klea finished unleashing her 'urge' in the bathroom, Emery was left with his body sore all over. Luckily for him, the two of them proceeded to snuggle and rest the night together, enjoying the limited time they could have for each other.

The next morning after breakfast, Emery and Klea went out towards the training ground right outside the mansion. Arriving at the spacious training ground, Klea said

"Since you will start fighting for the top 5 rankings in two days, today I will be your teacher. So listen to me well!"

Emery smiled faintly at her antics. What Klea meant by being his teacher was because she was about to 'teach' him all the information she had gathered about the top 5 people in the privileged class leaderboard.

He felt he had no problem with Zach Talon and Eeshoo Nephilim as he had firsthand experience and interacted with both of them. However, the same couldn't be said for the other three people in the ranking. Hence he perked his ears to listen closely.

"Let's start with the fifth rank, Shatter Cross." She said, distaste was apparent in her voice. "The bastard might be the true depiction of a privileged acolyte, as he got nurtured from childhood and provided with only the best of divine skills. He is known as an acolyte who can destroy anything."

"What does it mean?" Emery asked, confused by the notion.

Klea then explained the relationship between Anzi the Inhumane and Shatter Cross and the reason why the former was the associate of the latter.

Because he was extremely strong and durable, ever since his inclusion to the Cross faction, Anzi was designated and trained to be the shield for Shatter. While Shatter thought nothing of defense and only exclusively used offensive spells.

"From what I gathered, that guy arguably has the strongest offensive spell among the top five."

After a few more explanations, Emery understood what kind of opponent he would be up against.

Emery couldn't help thinking about what came next after he defeated Shatter. Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his face as he thought about the fight against Zach, especially since the Dragoon protege had his bloodline breakthrough to Rank 6 during the midtest, which of course made their rematch one he had been waiting for.

"I found out that Eeshoo was away for a while, so unless he comes back in time, your next match after Zach will be the number one and number two."

As soon as she brought up those two people, Emery noticed her anticipation dwindle as she said, "Even though I'm cheering for your victory, Emery… I honestly thought your chance to defeat those two are slim"

The girl explained what she had discovered about the two, and as he heard her speak, Emery's understood the reason why she, who is usually very optimistic about him, acted like that.
