(EP-27.2) Academy Spring Season #2
027 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #2
Aira was the head of the Tarantera Family and the current Queen of Angmar.
I, on the other hand, was a descendant of the former dynasty. Basically, her direct opposition.
Fearing that she might notice my change, I decided to avoid her as much as possible. At least, until I managed to clear my mind.
Alas, the world simply wouldn’t work out the way you wanted it to.
The Queen’s black eyes peered into mine.
Her gaze seemed to pierce my very soul, and I had to fight the creeps that had sprouted in me.
Should I try using《Farsight》on her as well?
No, I wouldn’t dare to do so. Especially now that we were directly facing each other.
Both Elga and Marmar vaguely felt me looking into their stats.
Aira was a Rank 7 Archmage. She would definitely notice my probing!
Seueuk-
Aira’s hand then reached out towards me.
What? Did she actually notice!?
I clenched my neck in fear. Meanwhile, Aira took something from my hair and put it on my palm.
“There was a spider.”
It was a spider as small as a pinky fingernail. It must have been swept by the wind before landing on my hair.
“My sister said that finding a spider is a good sign. Anyway, let’s leave when you’re ready.”
At Aira’s instructions, the people began to move in unison. Soon, our stuffs got piled up on top of the old magic circle, which was situated in a corner of the Royal Palace.
Specifically, it was a five-layered hexagonal stone magic circle, engraved with complicated inscriptions. Its size went up to 20 pyeong.
[T/N: 1 pyeong =
3.306 square meters so 20 pyeong = 66.1157 square meters]
Putting her feet on it, Elga asked.
“Are you really saying that if we use this, it will take less than a day to reach the Holy Kingdom? There are so many strange magics… What is the principle behind this?”
Aira answered while scanning the magic circle with her hand.
“I don’t know the details since it’s a Mage King’s spell. However, it seems to be working fine.”
A strange noise began to sound from the magic circle.
“It’s pretty bright, so you better close your eyes. Once they open the connection and allow us entry, you’ll be in a completely different place.”
After saying so, Aira started to look around..
In front of her, a crowd of people gathered to bless the Queen’s journey, scattering petals to and fro. Their cheers kept getting louder.
What was Aira thinking right now?
━Long live Her Majesty!
━Long live the Angmar Kingdom!
The people’s voices resounded under the heavens.
Pat-!
Finally, a dazzling light overturned everything.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, I could see wide red-roofed buildings painted in white.
It was completely different from the architectural style of Monarch City in Angmar Kingdom, where the roofs boasted high spires. With that, I was able to quickly figure out where this place was.
“Is this the Holy Kingdom? We really are in a completely different place by the time we open our eyes!”
Despite saying so, Elga still couldn’t seem to believe what just happened.
Even for Elga, a resident of this world, the teleportation magic that she witnessed was something that didn’t make any sense.
I was also very surprised and couldn’t hide my admiration.
“Welcome!”
At this time, several people in white robes greeted us with open arms. They seemed to have been waiting for us.
“Welcome, distinguished guests from Angmar. The Holy Empire was expecting your arrival. Come, let us go inside.”
Apparently, they had been waiting in front of this magic circle for half a day upon hearing that we were coming as envoys.
“We’ll guide you. But first, please bring your belongings along. As for the rest of the luggage, will it come by carriage?”
I nodded at the white-robed old man.
“I think a few people will arrive with it in a week or so.”
“I see. Then, right this way.”
We were then led to a building that was built like a palace. No, rather than a palace, it was more like a large hall decorated with stained glass.
Actually, a temple would be an accurate description.
After all, this was a city that worshiped the God of Light and Salt.
Seuk-
I lifted my head towards the sky.
There was a huge, round object in my eyes.
It was a structure so huge that it reached the sky.
A huge hemisphere structure.
It was silver in color. I didn’t know if the outer part was covered with metal, but it looked like some kind of art hall or football stadium….
No. I had to correct myself.
That was an ark.
The Church’s Ark Facility.
The very facility used for nurturing and educating Champions.
I couldn’t believe I really brought Elga and Aira here.
This was a very different type of storyline from the original novel, making me feel both excitement and tension towards this new unknown.
However, my objectives were clear.
To revive the Angmar Family and avoid my enemies.
Perhaps there were answers out there that I just needed to look for? There might even be a way to solve this outlandish mess.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be too complicated as it was still in line with ‘survival’ that I had always planned.
But what did reviving a family mean?
Intuitively, it might be making the family name bask under the sun again….
It could also mean that since I was the only survivor of the family, I should get married and have a lot of children who would inherit the Angmar family name.
