Chapter 215 Culprit Found
‘…there will be problems. I need to have the four students eliminated first, I can think about the rest later.’
Lith turned to the old man in white robes and said calmly, “don’t place me in the middle starting points or anything like that. Just have me start the trial from the start. I’ll be able to clear it without qualms even if you do that.”
“Are you sure about that?” The old man asked.
“Yes.”
“Well, good luck then.”
Clap! Clap!
The old man wished good luck to Lith and clapped his hands twice, teleporting him to the trial.
Lith’s vision blurred but in the next instant, he found himself standing in the middle of s grassland. He looked around and found nothing but a flat land. He had no idea in which direction he was supposed to move.
Lith picked a random direction for this reason and started flying in it. Not even a few seconds passed that he just teleported out, he started hearing some sort of strange noise. The noise was getting louder and louder and finally, Lith saw what was making the noise.
It was a giant bird, looking like a vulture, charging towards him from far away. From the looks of it, Lith assumed the bird to be of a Tier 3 beast. He had no fear about it at all.
The vulture-like bird was around 10 meters tall and was flying towards him at a fast speed. Lith took out his spear from his ring and casting a Fire spell on it, he threw the spear at the bird.
The bird wasn’t able to change course mid-way due to how fast it was rushing towards Lith. The spear thrown by Lith also was twice as fast as the vulture. It didn’t take even a second for the two to collide together and the spear tore through the body of the bird.
“KIRRRRRR!”
The bird let out an anguished cry as it was falling down on the ground, with a hole in its body and flames all around it. In a few seconds, a loud thud noise was heard after the bird hit the ground.
Lith extended his hand out and retrieved his spear. He then flew in the direction from where the bird came and looked for the students he had to eliminate.
…
In a dense forest.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Fuuuusssshhhhh
BOOM!
A golden streak of lightning struck the ground of the dense forest and killed the hundreds of thousands of rabbits roaming around. A thick smoke arose from the ground and a crater was formed. From the crater, Emilia walked out.
Emilia spread her spiritual sense to a hundred kilometres radius around her and searched for anything that may help her in finding the culprit that had rigged the tournament.
Emilia had been searching for the culprit everywhere in Blue Haze World. She first searched at the areas where the students were in trouble and the ones near to it. She was now at the final area and this was the last place where she could find clues.
She hoped that she would get a clue here and her calls were answered as right in the next instant, she felt a faint spiritual pressure coming from a certain object a few kilometers away from her.
She quickly went to that place and picked up the object.
It seemed to be a teleportation token to her and it was very familiar. This was the same teleportation token that the academy lent to the students to travel to whatever place they wanted, be it in or the out of the academy.
The only thing different from this token and the normal teleportation tokens was that, this token made the person bypass the security of the academy and teleport inside without any qualms.
‘This token… What is it doing here?’ Emilia thought to herself. She previously felt faint spiritual power coming from it and so to check once again, she sent her spiritual sense into the token and tried to analyze whose spiritual power it was.
It didn’t take long for Emilia to figure out whose spiritual power it was.
The culprit had been found!
Knowing who the culprit was, Emilia was so angry that she almost crushed the token in her hand. However, she stopped herself from doing so at the last minute and put the token in her ring.
“This time I won’t leave you.” Emilia gritted her teeth and said in a furious tone.
Crackle!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Fuuuusssshhhhh
BOOOOOM!
A rumbling of thunder was heard as Emilia shot up to the sky and later, a sonic boom followed and Emilia left the place.
…
In front of a temple in ruins.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Thunder rumbled in the sky above a temple in ruins. Soon, a golden streak of lightning struck an area in front of the temple in ruins and after it was gone, in its place stood Emilia.
She looked at the entrance of the temple and thought to herself, ‘should I go help Lith, or should I stay here and watch over them?’
Emilia had found the culprit and she really wanted to go back to the academy and punish the person. However, there were still five students remaining in the Blue Haze World and she couldn’t leave them alone. This was a dangerous place and they were thus needed to be in supervision.
She wanted to charge in and take them out of this place but this would create a problem in their growth. She thus refrained herself from doing so and waited patiently for them to come out.
Meanwhile…
Lith had arrived in a lush green mountain range. Things would become more difficult for him now. He would need to cross these mountains, avoid traps, fight beasts and search for the students in this trial and have them be eliminated.
He took a deep breath before entering the mountain range and then extended his wings out and flew towards the lush green mountains.
