Chapter 23: Kane's Prophecy
Central City, Hoag House
Kane lay on the bed, holding a thick book, looking intently. He was so absorbed that he snored......
"Old man Kane, I'm coming for you. Angelina burst in.
Before anyone arrived, Kane heard Angelina's melodious laughter from a distance.
"You damn girl, and you don't go to class?"
"Hee-hee, old man Kane, I'm here to accompany you. ”
"Hmph, no need, I'm used to it, you hurry up and go to class!"
Despite what Kane said, he put down his book and sat up from the bed, and chatted with Angelina.
"Sleeping in the principal's room, you really did it out, what should you do if you are seen by other students?"
"Hey, I'm getting old, I'm not in good health. ”
Kane looked back on the past and sighed.
As the headmaster of Hogg House, Kane has spent countless years in this way. Hogg House was once the largest and best magic academy in the Holy Empire, and even in the God-given Lands. The younger generation has to be honed here to acquire extraordinary skills. All of them are the top powerhouses in the continent and the most outstanding human beings.
Hoag House has cultivated countless talents for humanity, year after year, without interruption.
However, nothing can last forever, and no legend can last forever. The glory of being crowned as the "most" will eventually come to an end, and the "best" Hoag House is destined to lose to the "better", surpassed by the latecomers, and reduced to a wave in the vast history.
With the increasing frequency of southern expeditions, the size of the exorcist army has grown, and new magic schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they continue to grow. Send your children to a magical academy and join the exorcist army, hoping to make a career in the war. This has become the best choice for the general public to get ahead.
However, even if the back wave pushes the front wave, Hoag House still retains one "most".
Oldest.
No magic academy has a better history than Hogg House. It is said that Hogg House was founded together with the Holy Empire, and the first headmaster was the king's good buddy, and together they established the Holy Empire. Whether the rumors are true or not, no one can take off the "oldest" hat of Hogg House, and no one who comes after him will want to snatch it, unless Hogg House closes its doors one day......
This is also the pride that Principal Kane has always been proud of, although this pride is a little sad.
"Old man Kane, what are you looking at?"
Angelina asked curiously, pointing to the thick book.
"Hehe, it's prophecy. Kane picked up the book and flipped through it with love, "It is said that prophecy has been very popular in the Principality of Valentia in the east recently, and there are several great prophets, and I want to learn from them." ”
"Cut, that's all a trick to deceive. Their prophet said that the Duchy of Valentia would unify the God-given lands and replace the Holy Empire as the most powerful nation among the human race. What kind of prophecy, nonsense, it's clearly just boasting about myself! Cut, I'm ashamed of them. ”
"Hehe, that's what I said...... But it's a pretty interesting prophecy. Kane proudly turned the pages of "Ten Rapid Advances in Prophecy" to Angelina, but the latter pouted, lacking interest, and said that he didn't look at it with a face.
"I said, old man Kane, you have nothing to do all day long, and you don't recruit some new students, if this continues, our academy will really go out of business!"
"I'm not down to the point where I want you to me. ”
"Hard-mouthed ......"
In fact, Angelina was right, Kane is indeed idle. The number of students in Hogg House is getting smaller and smaller every year, and there are not many new students who can be fooled by the "oldest" signboard alone, so he, the headmaster, naturally has no work to do, so he can only read books in the room.
"Cut, I know how to read all day long. You're all ninth-order magicians, what's so much more to see, can you still rise to the tenth-order?"
"Huh. Kane stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You're right, I, a ninth-order magician, don't need to read. So, shouldn't a certain level 8 summoner read more books?"
"Huh?"
"Oops, it's getting worse to remember your last name as you get older. Kane pretended to be confused, closed his eyes and said slowly, "How many years have you been stuck in an eighth-level summoner......?" Let me think about it, three years? Or five years?"
"Seven years! Hmph, you bad old man, what you pretend, you remember better than anyone else. ”
"Haha, seven years, seven years, you still remember. ”
Kane smiled, annoyed by the disrespectful appearance of the old man.
"You're still laughing! As long as I find a suitable ninth-order demonic beast, it won't be long before I become a ninth-order summoner!"
"That's amazing...... I remember you said the same thing last year, and it seems that the year before last, hey, I guess you will say the same next year. Ha ha. ”
"You'......re still laughing!
"Haha. ”
Seeing Angelena deflated, Kane smiled even more happily.
"Forget it, I won't tease you. Say, what's the matter? Kane laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and coughed a few times before he reluctantly stopped laughing.
"Eh, how do you know I'm looking for you?"
"Because I know prophecy!"
"Cut, lie. Angelina pouted, "Then guess what's the matter with me?"
"Well, let me think about it......" Kane made a casual gesture.
The magical elements in the air began to come alive, and the fire and water elements converged into two red and blue ribbons, like two small living beings, circling around Kane.
Angelina found a random stool and sat down, her face black and silent.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to turn lifeless magical elements into lively little beings, and Kane is worthy of being a ninth-level magician. However, she had seen the scene in front of her countless times, and she knew that it was not prophecy at all, it was just Kane showing off his control over the elements of magic.
It's a bad fun thing to show off yourself or something.
After playing with himself for a while, Kane finally stopped, smiling with great satisfaction.
"Hmm...... It's about the brave, right?" Kane said, shaking his head, as if he really knew how to prophesy.
"Nonsense! ”
Angelina regretted it. After waiting for such a sentence for most of the day, she felt that she was really stupid, and she even had a trace of expectation for Kane's "prophecy".
"About Emilia...... Hey, didn't I tell you, even if I don't like her, but she's your friend, and I can't help but try my best to treat her. Her injuries...... That's all there is to it. Although there is no major problem with her body, and she can recover from a shoulder injury for a few days, her strength ...... Hey, her Holy Spirit is no better than magic, and even I don't understand it at all, so I can't really help much. ”
"Hmm......"
Angelina already knew this answer, and she knew all that Kane said.
"Why don't you ask her what happened, and maybe save her. What the hell is going on with her being so badly injured? The military has already announced that all the members of the Wings of Judgment are missing, why is the brave man here? She is obviously not missing, and she is still alive and well. Are all the men in the military blind? And where did Audley's idiots die?"
Kane threw out a whole bunch of questions. He was so emotional that his hand was too tight because of the excessive force on his beard, and he accidentally pulled off a few white whiskers.
"I want to know, too! But, but...... But Emilia doesn't say anything, what can I do......?
Angelina bowed her head aggrievedly.
Emilia is still the Emilia she remembers, but for some reason, Emilia doesn't tell her anything.
She is Emilia's best friend, and the name of the brave man is known only to herself, which is a little secret between them. When encountering troubles, Emilia will always be the first to tell her that when she encounters happy things, Emilia also likes to share them with her. After each exorcist expedition to the south, they would stay up for several nights, with Emilia telling her interesting stories about what happened in the Everfree Forest.
However, this time, Emily dragged her seriously injured body back, not only did she not tell her anything, but also brought back a boy with a suspicious identity!
It's so damning!
Angelina was furious.
"Hey, let's not talk about that. What the hell is the matter with you? Kane finally remembered that there was still something serious to do. Angelina skipped class and came to him, there must have been something important to discuss with him.
"Woo......" Angelina rubbed her little eyes and took a few deep breaths so that she could speak fluently, "Old man Kane, Hoag House is about to go out of business, and this is not the way to go. So...... Let me recommend you a student, she is a genius among geniuses, and with her, we at Hoag House will definitely shine this year!"
"Who's the genius of geniuses?" Kane looked at Angelina eagerly.
"Hehe, I won't tell you yet, I'll bring her another day, you can say yes or no!"
"You damn girl......"
"People are not small, don't call me a girl!
"You......"
Kane shook his head.
Although Angelina didn't say it, Kane already knew it in his heart. can make the declining Hogg House shine again, and moreover, Angelina highly recommends it, and you can't find a few geniuses of this level if you look at the entire God-given land.
Who is it? The answer is self-evident.
"Hmph, Edward...... I can't lose! Don't try to snatch Emilia away!"
Angelina clenched her little fists tightly and whispered viciously.
