281 Celestial Power is Back!
Arthur froze when he heard that sentence. The person who said it was not only an Official Mage, but a rank 2! If they found out about him, then his destiny was uncertain.
“What? A spy?”
All the students whispered, and the rumor about a spy circled inside the school quickly. They searched in every corner, every room, and around the graveyard as well!
No one believed it was possible for the spy disguise as a student. Maybe he could use the same uniform and try to avoid them, but they would find him given enough time.
A spell like the one Arthur knew was something they had never seen. Even Arthur himself could not understand how such a good spell was in the decaying Odemore back at that island.
Two days passed after the mage announced about the spy. Arthur helped them in the search, trying to look as normal as possible to avoid their suspicion. It worked at first, but as the close friends of the real Jester talked with him, they noticed something was off.
It was nighttime. Someone came yelling into the graveyard, saying something which made Arthur instantly flee.
“I found the corpse of a student nearby!” One student said, getting the attention of everyone.
“A student? Do you know who it was?” Another student asked.
Soon, almost everyone was gathered close to that person.
“This is the strangest part. The corpse I saw was from Jester, but he was here since two days ago when the leader announced about a spy… wait.”
When they had finally noticed it, Arthur was no longer there! He cast multiple teleports the moment he heard that man yelling, as he knew it was definitely something about him.
Arthur’s quick reaction gave him enough time to escape from that graveyard without being chased by the others, especially that rank 2 mage.
“That was close, but now I know more about their forces, and also about the traps!” Arthur thought, smiling as he returned to the One Hundred Thunder Academy.
Even though only two days had passed, most of the destroyed parts of the school were now like new, showcasing the efficiency of magic.
The magical barrier had also been rebuilt, and Arthur could only attribute the quickness to Seth, who had the power of a rank 2 mage, making it way quicker to repair such a powerful barrier.
“Arthur! You are back!”
Seth and Laura were the first to come see him after his return. They went to the meeting room minutes after, where all the Official Mages were, waiting for Arthur to share the information he collected.
“There is only one rank 2 mage, and about 700 students. Out of these 700 students, 80 are Official Mages.”
“Oh? That is more than I expected. After the damage we suffered, they have more rank 1 mages than us.” Seth said.
“Is there a paper here?” Arthur said.
“What for?”
Arthur grabbed the paper Seth found for him, drawing a map of the graveyard, and all the rooms he had the chance to explore while down there.
The good part was that he visited most of these rooms when searching for the spy. Even a few prohibited rooms for a mage below the rank 1.
With his expertise in magical formations, Arthur saw through most of the traps and barriers of the school. A valuable information to have, making even Seth impressed.
“Good job, Arthur. With this, our chance of success will increase to 90%!”
Not only him, but some of the other rank 1 mages had a good impression of Arthur, but a few of them did not like him at all, presumably because he was an outsider who got the position of vice-president. A position which most of them wanted.
But, as their situation was not good, they shut up and work together to avoid disaster.
“When will we attack them?” Arthur said.
“Tomorrow during night time. The meeting is over, everyone, rest and prepare for the fight!” Seth said, getting up from the chair, leaving the meeting room alongside the other mages.
Arthur then returned to the small cabin he used to live, and it he was shocked to see everything around it was in a perfect state.
“My magical formations are impressive. Hehehe!”
The garden he had outside was perfect, but some plants showed signs of decay, as they did not receive proper care during the past month.
As he had nothing else to do, Arthur watered his plants, and then went to read after that. He was on his simple bed, reading a thick book, when a notification popped up.
[Ding]
[All attributes increased by 10]
[Next blessing in 15 days]
“What? This is the first time my celestial powers worked after quite some time! This is good!”
After he got seriously injured back then, and had to use most of his celestial power to survive, it stopped working, making him sad, but he recovered it some time ago, and now it finally gave him the permanent stats!
Things weren’t good for him at that present time, but that simple notification from his system made his day a little better!
“Let me see how my stats are! I had a good time with my wives a few days ago, so my level surely increased!”
[Name: Arthur Willians]
[Bloodline: Dragon (Legendary Placidusax), Monlog Giant]
[Rank: Official Mage (1)]
[Level: 96]
[Health: 41050/41050]
[Mana: 1300/1300]
[Spiritual Force: 170]
Attributes:
[Strength: 422]
[Agility: 349]
[Vigor: 344]
[Wisdom: 446]
[Charm: 353]
[Free points: 120]
[Potential Wives: Wisa: Level 88]
[Jane: Level 85]
“Whoa! It increased by a lot, actually. Was it because I spent some time without having sex with them?”
Arthur’s level, as well as his attributes, were increasing by a lot! He was certain no one at the same level of him had similar stats. It was impossible.
The only thing which was taking more time to grow was his Spiritual Force, but that was something which required time, and he knew it.
Most Official Mages looked young, but were in fact old people. The stronger one got, the more life span they had. Arthur had even more of it because of his bloodlines.
“I can probably live five times more than normal rank 1 mages, so maybe like 1000 years?”
With his increase in level and attributes, Arthur gathered some mana from it, so all he had to do was meditate to turn it into Spiritual Force.
He also had 120 free attribute points, so putting them into Wisdom would give him even more mana, which then would turn into even more Spiritual Force.
“I will put everything into Wisdom, as this benefit me the most for now. Also, my celestial body makes all my attributes increase until reaching the same level as my highest attribute, but it takes a long time…”
Well, Arthur was still happy with his progress, hoping to reach the rank 2 as fast as he could, especially since everyone was at war. The level of a rank 2 mage would make his survival chances a lot higher.
Then, the next step he would have to take was to reach the level of a rank 3 mage, and maybe figure out how to leave the planet.
But before that, he still needed to free George and take control of the central continent.
“Ah, so many things to do…”
Arthur’s mind was filled with many things, so all he wanted to do was to get some sleep and wait for the battle which would happen the very next day!
