Chapter 49 - 49. Back To Academy
Chapter 49 – 49. Back To Academy
A light entered the sight of the two of them. That means that soon they will come out of the forest.
The two of them further accelerated their steps Walk through a path of about hundreds of meters. That path would lead them to the back door of the academy. Yes, the area behind the academy was an untouched forest. Although untouched, the forest is completely harmless.
Seen from afar, two people wearing robes with one of them holding a staff while the other guards just stood empty-handed, they were guarding the back gate they passed yesterday. Looks like the chaos that has occurred has made the security of the academy tightened. But that didn't slow down their steps at all.
"Who are you?" one of the guards asked when he saw Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie approaching.
"What's going on in there?" Wan Lie asked back, ignoring the expressions of the two guards who had a wary expression.
"What do you need?"
"The academy is temporarily closed, no one is allowed to enter," one of them continued.
"How are Elder Chen and Elder Bao?" Now it was Fu Xie Lan's turn to ask.
Suddenly the two guards looked at each other when they heard the question of the girl who was standing not far from them. The two of them then turned their gaze towards Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie, they looked like they were assessing the two of them from toe to head.
"What is your relationship with Elder Chen and Elder Bao?" asked the guard holding the stick, squinting.
"Elder Bao, he is my Teacher," replied Fu Xie Lan right after being asked that question.
"Ppffttt …. Hahaha, your teacher? Pppfttt hahahahhaha."
The two guards burst out laughing at the girl's narrative. While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan frowned in confusion seeing the two guards suddenly laugh.
"Is there something funny?" asked Fu Xie Lan feeling that what he said wasn't funny at all.
"No, no. Little girl, did I just hear wronged you say Elder Huang Bao is your teacher?"
"Yes, what's up with that."
"Pppftttt little girl, are you kidding me? Elder Bao never had the desire to recruit private disciples, because for him it was very troublesome, pppffttt you better just go home little girl, and continue your sweet dreams."
"No one is allowed to enter the academy for now, after all."
Fu Xie Lan just listened to their words with a very flat expression.
"Mom, let me kill them and we can immediately enter the academy," whispered Wan Lie closer to her mother's ear, although his voice was small it was still able to be heard by the two guards.
"No, I won't allow you," she replied.
"Hey young man, isn't what you said too arrogant? I doubt if you can fight half of our strength," said the guard back with a look of disdain. Who can beat them? they are wizards, the strongest race after demons.
Wan Lie, who started to provoke them, immediately stepped forward but was stopped by Fu Xie Lan's arm blocking his chest. He then retreated and returned to its original position.
"What must I do to make you believe?" Fu Xie Lan offered.
"Show us the magic that Elder Bao has taught."
"Pppfftt but I doubt you have any," added one of them again with a sneer.
Fu Xie Lan is confused, what magic? Her mana is a mana fairy, how could she possibly be able to cast magic. Besides, she didn't know how to use the mana fairy she had in her either, and now she's being asked to do magic? Suddenly she regretted saying that to the two guards.
Seeing the girl was silent, one of the two guards said again, "Never mind, you better come back or else we might suspect you as …."
"Is this enough?"
A voice then distracted the two guards and Fu Xie Lan and what they saw was a blue light emanating from whirling mana resembling a tornado on Wan Lie's palm.
"T-that .."
"yes?" Wan Lie then re-created there were at least ten streams of mana in both palms of the same color. He had read in a magic book that he could manipulate mana what he had according to what he wanted, and this was his first chance to try it, and it was a success. He only needed to spend a fraction of the total mana to create mana like wizards.
The two guards were stunned, you could see a small tremor on the knees of both of them.
"Is this enough?" Wan Lie repeated.
The two guards looked back at each other, took a sip of saliva, and then turned to face the young man. Although he had never seen such powerful magic, they were sure that who else would possess the magic of that level if not Elder Bao. The guards then began to confirm that it was probably true that they were the elder's disciples.
"Al-alright, you can enter. But you have to be careful, one of the intruders may be still hiding in the academy," said one of the guards and then nodded to the other guards. They immediately closed the entrance and exit of the academy as soon as the chaos occurred. Elder Huang Bao himself ordered it.
"Very well, thank you," said Fu Xie Lan then turned to Wan Lie and invited him in.
The gate is open, the size is arguably not too big but not too small, about only five times six meters in size.
But just as they had just stepped one foot through the gate, someone suddenly landed in front of them.
"Elder Chen," said Wan Lie and Fu Xie Lan almost simultaneously.
"Where have you been? The academy is currently very chaotic. I looked everywhere but couldn't find you."
"Huang Bao, where is Elder Bao, Uncle?" asked Fu Xie Lan with a worried face.
"Shouldn't you be together? I thought Elder Huang Bao had found you. He's been looking for you since the chaos happened on the first day the pury test was conducted. Elder You is also missing, he is nowhere to be found," Elder Chen explained with a sigh.
"Where did you go, anyway?"
"Oh, it …Someone disguised themselves as Elder Huang Bao and took us away from the academy," said Fu Xie Lan interrupting Wan Lie's words.
"Huh?" Elder Chen was shocked, everything happened very coincidently. Is everything connected? He has no idea.
"What happened to you?" Elder Chen added again.
"It's okay now, we're fine. Don't worry Uncle," replied Fu Xie Lan.
Elder Chen was hesitant to hear the little girl's words because he could see clearly, some of the ends of the clothes he was wearing were torn with dried blood stains that also adorned Wan Lie's clothes. But when his gaze met the pupil of the son of the Lord, all his doubts were in vain as Wan Lie's nod seemed to say that all was well.
Elder Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very well, you guys go in first," said Elder Chen after seeing their very messy appearance. He then walked and led them both.
