Chapter 50: Leaving the Nacesai Academy

Even if the audience believed that Yale used an illusion spell, the higher-ups were strong enough to deduce the truth.

There was no way a small spell cast by a kid could affect them.

Those people were also the ones who knew about Time Healing; they didn’t need to think too much before reaching a conclusion.

Yale had used a time element spell and one that was different from Time Healing. That was something that shocked all of them.

Then, Sainac looked at Swordmad, but instead of a shocked expression, he wore a satisfied expression on his face. Sainac understood that Swordmad already knew about that time spell.

Until that moment Swordmad was the only one who had seen Yale use Absolute Protection.

However, Swordmad thought that Yale used it unconsciously before and that he managed to control it consciously before the tournament.

Yale had shown all his power in the battle against Heruk.

He had no other way to win against him, even if Heruk was a despicable guy, his battle prowess was undeniable.

Fortunately, Heruk lacked a strong will as he always had a comfortable life and never needed to worry about his life or his future. He had always been extremely confident in himself and considered himself the most powerful guy of his generation.

Furthermore, Heruk was unable to tolerate the pain as he wasn’t used to it, that was the main reason he focused on reinforcing his body, his fear of pain.

Another thing that made Heruk lose was his love for torturing his opponents.

If he had tossed Yale off the stage after catching him, Yale would have been forced to cancel Absolute Protection to avoid losing the match, and then Heruk wouldn’t be distracted by Yale’s sudden disappearance, and thus Yale’s attack would have been less effective.

Even if Yale shocked all the audience, three people were the most shocked of all.

Those three were Aizu, George, and Ange who had the closest relationship with Yale without counting Swordmad and the unconscious Zack.

Of the three, Aizu was the one who trained the most with Yale, but even if she thought that Yale was amazing before, she never imagined that his real prowess was at such high level.

George had already felt that Yale had surpassed him when he guessed that Yale had entered in the expert stage in Yale’s third battle, but he thought that their difference wasn’t that big and that he would be able to catch up soon.

However, after seeing how Yale battled against Heruk, George couldn’t avoid feeling depressed, Yale was already on a monster level comparable to Heruk’s who no one dared to offend.

Ange was the happiest of them, seeing how powerful her little brother became a relieve to her who was always concerned about Yale’s future since Yale was born and their father ignored him.

While everyone was shocked by Yale, Yale himself wasn’t happy about his victory as he hadn’t been able to really cripple Heruk.

Knowing Heruk’s personality, he would start to look at how to harm him and his close ones after he awoke.

If Yale were far more powerful than Heruk, then he wouldn’t mind too much, but he won relying on strategy, in a straightforward battle Yale didn’t feel confident in his possibilities.

Having Swordmad as his master, Yale didn’t fear Heruk’s background. However, to deal with Heruk, he didn’t want to rely on external help.

“Congratulations Yale, that was an exciting battle.”

Sainac went to the stage to congratulate Yale; that was also one of his customs in the academy tournaments.

Of course, it was only exciting on the level of watching a kid’s battle in the eyes of someone of his realm, but Yale’s Absolute Protection really caught him off guard.

Being able to shock someone at such high level was a tremendous honor for someone at the mortal rank.

“Now it’s time to announce the tournament prize!”

As Sainac spoke those words, everyone stopped talking and paid attention to him, the mystery about the tournament’s prize was the hottest topic on the academy.

“That’s the first time our academy managed to get the honor to be invited to the opening of a special realm in the Imperial City! The top eight contestants of the tournament will be able to enter!”

The audience barely knew anything about Imperial City, but anything related to that place was awesome in their eyes.

Those who weren’t able to participate due to being in a too high realm or who had lost regretted losing such a good chance.

“Why limit it to the 3-star mortal realm?”

The one who asked that was the most powerful student from the promotion who entered the academy before of Yale’s, he had advanced to the 4-star mortal realm two days before the announcement of the tournament.

Given his prowess, at the 3-star mortal real he would have been reached the top eight without a doubt.

“That is because that realm only let people who are at 3-star mortal rank or lower to enter. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

After hearing Sainac’s words, no one else dared to complain.

“We will depart to the Imperial City right now, my old friend Swordmad will be in charge of guiding all of you.”

Sainac’s words were even more unexpected. Usually, there would be some time before departing.

At that moment the concealing spell disappeared as if it was waiting for Sainac’s words and the teleportation portal became visible to everyone.

“That’s a teleportation portal. I want the eight qualified students to be in front of it in five minutes, or they will lose the opportunity.”

The top eight students in the tournament didn’t lose time and went towards the teleportation portal.

Yale was still on the stage as he heard the shocking news.

Hearing that they would go to the Imperial City using a teleportation portal and that Swordmad would be the guide was the best thing he could hear at that moment.

He had managed to vent some of his anger before, but not all of them. His personality at that moment was halfway between his normal one and his angered one.

In the situation described by Sainac, Heruk would lose his clan’s support and the academy rules, while Yale would have Swordmad near him, the chances of killing or crippling Heruk had increased a lot with that conditions.

Yale went to bid farewell to his sister and Zack who was still unconscious, even if he was healed on the outside, the mental injuries remained.

“Sis, I will take Wyba with me, I don’t know when I would return, and she would cry if I am not near her for more than a day.”

Wyba was hidden inside a picnic basket that Ange had with her; she did the same every time the house was without anyone, they wouldn’t dare to left the little Wyba alone.

No one dared to question why Ange was always carrying a picnic basket. If someone with her status wanted to do an unusual thing like that, no one would complain.

“I hoped to say something to Zack before departing, but I doubt he will wake up anytime soon. If I didn’t return when he awakens, please tell him about my battle with Heruk and how I beat him with archery. That should help his mental state.”

“Alright, you need to be careful in the Imperial City.”

“Don’t worry sis, I am tough.”

Ange hugged Yale for a while before he picked Wyba in his arms and left towards the teleportation portal.

Swordmad and the other seven qualified students were already there.

Heruk was still unconscious, but Lor was carrying him, she wanted revenge against Yale and knew that she wouldn’t be able to do it alone.

Everyone looked with strange faces at Yale who was carrying a cute little wolf in his arms, but as he had shown how powerful he was in the tournament none of them dared to mock about it.

Swordmad didn’t say anything to Yale; he feared that Lor and Heruk would refuse to go to the Imperial City if they knew about their relationship.

Of course, their relation wasn’t a secret, but based on how both had acted before, they didn’t know anything.

“Listen to me! I will guide you, but nothing more. Imperial City is full of people that you can’t offend even in your dreams. If someone seeks death then will die, I won’t do anything to protect you. All of you need to behave well; Imperial City isn’t like Nacesai City.

Except for Yale, all the other kids started trembling at Swordmad’s words, all of them were at least a bit arrogant due to being geniuses in Nacesai City, but based on Swordmad’s words that would be useless in Imperial City.

Yale was still a bit cold-minded, so he didn’t react against Swordmad’s words.

Furthermore, Yale got into any problem then Swordmad would help him, Swordmad’s words were directed to the other students.

Yale didn’t plan to seek death nor to offend anyone, but if someone in the Imperial City had a personality like Heruk and dared to try harming him without reason, Yale would defend himself even if he offended the other party in the process.

Swordmad gave them two pieces of a strange material that resembled wood but emanated some peculiar energy.

“Put your Inner Qi or Magic inside those tokens and give them back to me. One of them would remain in the academy while I will have the other. If for some reasons any of you die, I will know it immediately and if I can I will retrieve your corpse. The academy will also report it to your families as soon as possible.”

That was a standard procedure every time there was some activity outside the academy.

After all of the students put energy on the tokens and gave them back, all of them entered the teleportation portal.
