Chapter 16: Shame
After the vigorous news with Freya, a talented girl on the first day of the academy, the scene of repeater Chongyang walking on the corridor with the goddess Shalena in the tutor brought to the students of Prisland is far from being described by words such as shock.
Incomparably complex gaze, one after another talking, pointing and whispering...... Awe, contempt, jealousy, hatred? It is difficult to locate the current students' perception of the waste materials from a specific perspective.
There is no longer a disguised smirk on his face, and the weak image that was deliberately highlighted in order to protect himself from trouble in the past no longer exists. Chongyang, who was completely different from the two before the duel, only one thing was the same as before the other students.
That is ignorance.
Previously, Chongyang was immersed in his own world, but now, he still exudes an aura that doesn't care about his surroundings and people. It's just that this layer of aura has removed the skin of weakness and stupidity, and it has become extremely unbearable for others.
"Cut! What arrogance!"
"What is there to be proud of winning the battle against a school girl who is five or six years younger than me?"
"Guys who win by despicable means are rubbish, scum!"
"I want to vomit when I see that face!"
......
The contempt escalated to insult, and after Chongyang showed the strength of the new life, there was a faint evolution from "spurned by the whole people" to "public enemy of the whole people", and it seemed that the situation became worse. However, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to see the hidden suspicion and fear in the eyes of the students.
In the past, they didn't care if the repeaters could hear them or not, but now, everyone couldn't help but carefully control their volume and avoid Chongyang's intentional or unintentional gaze.
Mentor Shalena, who walked silently and secretly took in the situation around her, sighed in her heart.
These are the students of Prisland, known as the Empire's top seniors...... In essence, these teenagers and girls who think they are superior are no different from ordinary people in the market.
It's even more unbearable.
Quietly squinting at the repeater beside him, he saw the black-haired young man with a calm expression, not squinting, walking calmly and naturally. There was no anger, no disgust, no contempt, no pride...... There are no negative or unusual emotions.
A pair of clear and deep eyes seem to be easy to understand at first glance, but if you look at it for a little longer, you will feel more and more impenetrable.
During the upgrade test a month ago, Shalena felt the same way. Unexpectedly, this intuition would be verified in a way that surprised everyone in the near future.
Cure the magic deficiency and learn powerful and advanced magic...... For him, who has shaken off the shadows of his past and broken free from the shackles, defeating a genius Freya may be just the beginning.
"Mentor, is there anything on my face?" Chongyang suddenly turned his head to look at Shalena's beautiful face and asked lightly.
"Ah...... It's nothing. Shalena withdrew her gaze, a slight flush on her face.
What just happened!??
The eyes of the students who were secretly paying attention to the female tutor and the repeater widened almost instantly: the goddess of ice and snow, Salena, actually blushed in front of a male student!
Oh, my God...... The boy is roaring in his heart, and the girl is screaming in his heart...... This can't be, it must be wrong, wrong, wrong!
Hmm? Why do you feel that the air pressure around you has suddenly increased several times? No matter how calm Chongyang's mind is, he can't help but feel the powerful resentment that suddenly comes from his surroundings.
Speechless all the way. After following Mentor Shalena through the corridors and halls, she walked up the spiral staircase to the upper floor, where she didn't know how many floors, and at the end of the deep corridor, there was a flash of heavy stone doors engraved with the crest of the Prislan Demon Formation.
After Mentor Shalena announced, the stone door quietly moved away.
The room, which is darker than expected, is littered with all sorts of documents and miscellaneous items. But compared to the portraits of the famous principals of the past dynasties on the surrounding walls, the dazzling array of wonderful objects and magic artifacts, the most attractive thing is the wall at the end of the room opposite, the whole wall that emits a soft silver light.
No...... Not walls.
It's glass.
Behind the glass, there is also a room. In this room, there is a dreamy silver tree, with the overlapping leaves, the veins clearly visible on the trunk, everything seems to be made of Mithril crystals, extremely delicate and gorgeous.
"This is ......" Chongyang saw the legendary symbol of Prisland for the first time.
"'The Magician's Mother Tree' – Muhanrad. Mentor Shalena also said with reverence, "The sacred tree named after the first generation of the House Headmaster, the founder of Prisland. ”
In the central core of the entire academy, in the room of the dean, the most precious treasure.
"It's beautiful, countless times more beautiful than what you see in the pictures. Chongyang sighed. The vast majority of Presland students do not have the opportunity to see this scene until they graduate.
In front of the glass wall of the room, there was an old figure with his back to Shalena and Chongyang, standing with his hands held high, as if he was gazing deeply at the sacred tree of Muhanrad.
"Dean of the House, Chongyang @ Bright has arrived. ”
"The students greet the Dean. Chongyang looked at the old man's back and had doubts in his heart. This man was clearly not the one who often appeared in the herb fields.
After a few seconds, the silent old man turned around. Chongyang's vision was blurry for a while due to the light on his back, but after a while, his eyes widened in extreme shock.
"Mentor Sarson?"
The old man standing in front of Chongyang is not the flower uncle imagined by Chongyang, but the serious and old-fashioned old mentor Salson who has met in the upgrade test before!
"It's not a mentor, Chongyang-san. Shalena's voice rang out beside her, "It's Lord Salson's 'Acting Headmaster' now. Just yesterday, the Academy's top brass unanimously passed a temporary resolution to replace the former Head of House in Prisland. It's just that the news hasn't been officially disclosed to students yet......"
"What's going on!?" Chongyang was puzzled, and in front of Salson, who had a gloomy face, he asked, "What about Cranred@Dean Al Law?"
"Lord Cranred's way of way for now......"
"Not temporarily. ”
Salson said geographically.
"He can't be the head of the house anymore, and in the future, he will only be the 'honorary head of the house'. ”
"This ......," Shalena was stunned. Obviously, this news also surprised her.
"Why?" Chongyang asked, frowning.
"Pay attention to the tone of your voice, repeater Chongyang @ Bright. Salson said coldly, with obvious disgust in his tone, "Don't think that you can be triumphant by defeating Freya @Howason of the same level...... Hmph, I've said a long time ago that a glorified presence like yours will only bring deep shame to Prisland. ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold, and the surging and incomparably magical fluctuations swept around Chongyang as if there was a substance.
"Holy Spirit Level ......" Chongyang's pupils constricted, and he gritted his teeth to support the coercion exerted by Sarson.
Obviously, he was still an arcane-level tutor during the upgrade test, but after a vacation, did he actually advance?
Sarson raised his eyebrows, as if surprised by Chongyang's stubbornness, snorted coldly, and reached out and waved.
Peng!
An invisible force struck Chongyang's knees, sending him to his knees and slamming him to the floor. The pain was so severe that it almost paralyzed the entire leg and foot.
"Why ......" Chongyang gritted his teeth so that he didn't scream. Sarson moved two more fingers.
Knock!
Two more forces hit Chongyang's shoulders one after another, causing him to throw his upper body to the ground, and his hands instinctively supported the floor.
A standard kneeling posture is formed.
"You ......" Chongyang raised his head, and suddenly there was another heavy blow to the back of his head, and his consciousness was blurred for a while, only to feel his forehead hit the cold floor.
Salson coldly looked down at the repeater who had no power to fight back.
"It's been six years...... Your very existence is a great scandal for Prisland. How many times have I and other knowledgeable people in the academy proposed to expel you and completely erase all your files, but we have always been suppressed by the stubborn and arbitrary Cranred......"
Chongyang's head hit the ground, and his mind was a little chaotic, almost blank. But Salson's words were heard clearly in his ears.
"I don't know what Cranreid is trying to keep you for, I just know that keeping you in the academy will only bring more shame to the academy. Now, I've been proven right...... Hmph, it's ironic to say, Cranred did everything to keep you in the academy, but in the end you were ousted from power, this is the so-called destiny of heaven. ”
"You...... What are you talking about?" Chongyang was confused when he heard this, and wanted to raise his head, but he was restrained by the powerful magic power.
"You've challenged to defeat Freya @ Howason for your own selfishness, and we've put our entire academy to shame for it, saying that this is the place where geniuses fall!" Sarson said sternly.
Let genius fall......?
"It's ridiculous, a dignified talent of the dual family is so bad that he will be defeated by a peer of the fire department! The entire Presland Academy has become a laughing stock of the outside world because of this incident! And it's all because of you, Chongyang @ Bright!"
Sarson became angry and raised his kick and kicked Chongyang a few meters away.
"The top brass of the academy were shocked, they couldn't let Cranred, an old guy who only likes to raise flowers and grass all day long, continue, otherwise his arbitrariness and incompetence would sooner or later ruin the glory of Prisland......'s millennium! He can no longer be the head of the house, but it should be up to me, Sarson@Thorder, the youngest Holy Spirit mage in Prisland, to sit in this position and completely clean up the academy with a strong enough wrist. ”
Whew, whew...... Chongyang, who rolled out a few meters away, was powerlessly suppressed to the ground, gasping for breath in his mouth, and his brain, which had gradually calmed down, quickly sorted out the current situation.
I see......
The quality of Prisland's teaching over the years seems to have been increasingly criticized by the outside world. From all walks of life in the Wren Empire, more and more big people believe that the current Presland can no longer be called the first magic academy in the Empire. The glory and credibility accumulated over the long history of the college is slowly being lost.
The way the legendary magician Cranred @ Alpha governs the academy has been criticized from all sides, including the higher-ups within the academy who disagree with him.
Between the power struggle between the Klanreids and the opposition, the so-called "shame of Prisland", the question of the only repeater, has become a symbol of the sharp contradiction between the two factions.
In the end, the repeater unexpectedly rose up and defeated the high-profile genius of the academy in one fell swoop, which served as the fuse for the battle between the two factions, which detonated a great shock.
The strongest genius earth-wind dual-line magician that the academy spent a lot of effort and resources to cultivate, couldn't win a repeater magician of the most declining fire system who was spurned by everyone and finally rescued by the Yeluzi magic master who came from nowhere, and only taught for a short period of time!
It was a huge joke that directly hurt the reputation of the entire academy. For this reason, the Cranredite faction, who insisted on keeping repeaters in the academy, had to take responsibility and admit that the way they had long governed the academy was wrong, and abdicated to make way for the virtuous.
The opposition won the victory, took over the academy, and the first thing to do was to sanction the "culprit" who caused the crisis of the academy's credibility.
Prisland's Shame – Chongyang @ Bright.
