Chapter 285
Lursk Advanced Magic Academy’s magic arena was more or less the same as the earth’s soccer fields.
The only difference was that the audience seats were all constructed with originium crystals inscribed with ‘floating’ runes. Upon pouring magic power into the seats, one would be able to watch the arena in midair.
Apart from the ceremony that the advanced magic academy would hold every year, ‘The Birth of the White Owl,’ the arena was very rarely used. But today, close to half of all the academy’s students had gathered at the arena.
There were enough seats for all the students in the academy. However, it was not only the students from Lursk Advanced Magic Academy that came to the arena... students from other magic academies had also sneaked into the arena.
Among them, the most brazen individual... would be the student president from the neighboring Croshere Magic Academy.
The student president knew that it would be impossible for her to defeat all the other students on her own. Thus, for the sake of seeing the interview ceremony between Belle and Léon, the first time they will be seen beside the movie screen, she mounted her tamed magic beast, a lightning unicorn called ‘Pray Day’ and charged into the arena.
Galloping on lightning, the unicorn charged into the crowd. With lightning covering its entire body, the unicorn effortlessly divided the crowd.
Seated on the back of the unicorn ‘Pray Day,’ the student president pulled upon the reins and caused the lightning unicorn to leap straight up. Effortlessly, the unicorn landed at a platform with the best view.
The actions of the student president were captured by the eyes of Hyrlan and other students.
Hyrlan and Prophet came too late. With their petite build, it was practically impossible for them to ‘violently slice through the crowd’ like that lightning unicorn.
If her sister Ciri was here, then perhaps Hyrlan could hope for her sister to use Mage Hand to push aside the crowd ahead.
Helpless, Hyrlan and Sansa decided to withdraw from the scramble. They decided to find a senior majoring in the system of prophecies and divination for help ‘relay the live broadcast.’
Hyrlan had a good relationship with other students and faculties. Soon, they found a senior in the crowd that was willing to use a crystal ball to relay the broadcast for them.
If that senior was a bit more shrewd, he might be able to expand his crystal ball relay into a career.
“Is she not afraid of incurring the hatred of the surrounding people?”
Through the crystal ball, Prophet could see the student president leaping through the crowd with her unicorn and landing on the viewing platform with flashing lightnings and thunderous claps.
It was a truly powerful and deterring scene. But, it was also no different from provoking the entire Lursk Advance Magic Academy’s student body.
“She’s not afraid of the hostility from other students. Her name is Sofina Karshilov. She came from a very ancient family. Furthermore, Norland’s current Lightning System Sage is her teacher.”
Hyrlan explained to Prophet. She had researched Norland’s distribution of power.
“Is that so?” Prophet remembered the words Hyrlan told her. She also remembered the girl on the unicorn as a ‘troublesome individual.’
“Let’s move on from that! Hyrlan, look! The broadcast is beginning!”
Sansa straightened her body and tried to tiptoe through the crowd to see the arena. Unfortunately, she was of average height for a woman. No matter how hard she tried to tiptoe, she would still not be able to see the scene inside the arena.
After Sansa tried tiptoeing a couple more times to no avail, she turned around to look atHyrlan.
“Hyrlan, carry me on your back...”
“...” Faced with her close friend’s unruly request, Hyrlan pointed her finger to the crystal ball in front of them, “Wouldn’t it do by looking through this?”
“The image in the crystal ball is too blurry...” said Sansa.
“You meet up with Ynor every day. There’s no need to be this excited, no?”
“This is different from my normal meeting with her!” Before Sansa could finish her words, loud noise from the arena interrupted her.
With the magic power from a teacher, the originium crystal installed in the magic arena turned on. An image was projected onto a newly constructed pure-white wall.
Soon, the Frost Elf Tylene appeared on the wall. Tylene was the host for the interview. She looked rather nervous.
It was the first time Tylene showed her face to her audience. Generally, her voice was sufficient enough to subdue the listeners of the Voice of Norland.
Tylene took a brief moment to adjust herself. The audience watched anxiously as Tylene took a deep breath. A smile appeared on Tylene’s face.
“Good day everyone. Welcome to the Voice of Norland. Ah... I am Tylene. For this afternoon, I will not be telling a story. Instead, we will be interviewing two well-known actors.”
After Tylene finished saying those words, the frame suddenly shifted. The next moment, Ynor appeared on screen.
Even though this succubus has been in Norland for all this time, he was still the same. Because of Sansa’s recommendation, Ynor’s hair had grown longer, making him resemble a girl even more.
Ynor turned to the camera. With a slightly bashful smile, he waved his hand. At that moment, strange shouts, cheers and screams sounded throughout the arena...
“It’s Belle!” Sansa was also screaming.
As an observer, Prophet recorded all of this. She walked over to Hyrlan and asked with a quiet voice, “Do you... know the true identity of that ‘Belle?’”
It was not Prophet’s first time seeing this sort of ‘fanatical’ behavior from humans. But, no matter how many times she sees it, she still couldn’t help but feel freakishly shocked.
Even though she could now somewhat understand why the humans would be fanatical like they’re worshipping religious deities after watching ‘Léon: The Demon,’ she was still very curious if the humans knew the true identities of the actors.
Or perhaps were the humans only fond of the characters played by those actors?
“True identity? You’re talking about her being a demon?”
Nonchalantly, Hyrlan spoke a noun that would most definitely catch everyone’s attention in other cities.
At this moment, Prophet turned to look at the girl beside them screaming and shouting frantically at Belle, the girl who has completely lost all senses of being a lady.
She was a citizen from the Nation of the Holy Church. The conversation between Prophet and Hyrlan was most definitely heard by this girl from the Nation of the Holy Church.
Prophet watched Sansa in hope that she would be able to react like what a person from the Nation of the Holy Church should react upon encountering a demon.
Unfortunately, Sansa was still completely captivated by the slightly bashful Belle on the screen.
Has even the citizens from the Nation of the Holy Church lost their sense of reason?
Prophet began to rethink about all the things the demon prince did in Norland. Perhaps one day, the crisis between humans and demons might truly be settled by a couple movies.
But, she also knew that would be akin to a fantasy. Only by the Demon Realm gaining more powers would demons be qualified to face humanity. Otherwise, they might end up being wiped out. That would be no laughing matter.
“Ynor actually has another small secret that many other fans do not know about,” Hyrlan seemed to be planning to reveal the truth about Ynor to Prophet.
But, before Hyrlan could continue, thunder rolls suddenly exploded in the sky. In an instant, the sunny and cloudless sky was covered by black clouds... Those thick clouds were filled with magic power. It was clear that they were caused by a certain mage.
A mage capable of changing the weather... apart from the rumored Seven Sages, no other person could accomplish such a thing.
“For the student president to run to a different academy cadge in their event, has her teacher finally snapped?”
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind Prophet... The female mage that has been around Joshua all the time suddenly appeared behind her.
