Chapter 30: Sethra's Disbelief, Xavier's Fear/Anger!
"He's Tron?" Magus Reynold only now understood.
Vaguely, his passive Eye Of Truth spell could sense that there was more to this Tron than met the eye. "This Tron has a special quality about him. It's a pity that he's quite old."-
Only a handful of people knew who Tron was and knew he was actually a slave.
Everyone stared at him in shock.
It had come as a surprise.
"Seth... Sethra ..." From the side, the servant seated beside her tapped at Sethra and pointed a quavering finger at the youth. "It... It's Tron..."
"What!?" In truth Sethra had noticed that the fugurr was vaguely familiar especially when she watched him ignore that servant's plea for help at the mini dimension and instead increased the servant's death time by stomping on the crocodile.
However, she had dismissed the ideas due to a very simple fact, Tron was still a zero-mage.
"That's Tron."
"Tron?"
"Sethra, Tron won the Arcane realm competition!" that servant pressed, shaking.
"Don't fool around..." Sethra rambled.
She stared blankly at Tron, and Tron had also raised his head. He looked at Sethra. He remembered the direction and clearly saw that Sethra was looking at him as well. He had finally accomplished this step. Tron's heart calmed. He waved a hand at Sethra, gesturing tto her that it was truly him.
"Finally, I got here."
Seeing themiddle-aged lady moved beyond belief gave Tron a lot of satisfaction. He could not imagine the joy that Sethra must've been feeling at the moment.
Of course, this was still not the actual promotion examination yet.
"Tron has transformed!" a servant said sheepishly from the side.
Sethra clutched her trembling fists. Her eyes were much brighter.
High in the air.
"Xavier..."
The red-clothed girl, Roselyn, almost fell off her chair iin the sky.
"It's truly Tron." Xavier's expression was darker than ever before.
John's face was ugly. "That's impossible. Back then, when he got beaten up, I could see that he had little to no mana. How could he have entered the entrance examination, and also win?"
Thelma's eyes glinted savagely, saying, "Nobody can reach 6th level of the Acolyte realm from zero-mage in a few days. Clearly, he must have been concealing his ability. No wonder you didn't manage to kill him. The fact that he hid it so well means that he must have some secret goal."
Roselyn's face lost color, and she said, "Xavier, with the way that you treated him, and the way he is, he will definitely come find you for revenge!"
Xavier forced a smile. "Why should you guys be scared? He's just a slave. Besides, even if he's the first out, so what? There are plenty of these opportunistic guys in history of Blue Vision City, ones who lucked their way to first place but ended up dead anyways."
Thelma said, "I am not afraid, but for such a small fry to put on airs, it's nauseating."
Xavier said, "Besides, there's one more stage in the entrance examination. As long as he doesn't become pass this part of the three examinations, then he will forever be lower than us. I have my younger brother to support me. Would I even be afraid of these peasants?"
Indeed.
During this stage of the Arcane path, Tron had taken the chance. In the moment when the three had retreated, he had charged down and used his full strength to pummel the beast to the ground, quickly using the opportunity created to rush over its fallen body and pass through the world gate portal.
Although it was not elegant, it was successful. As for the other three, they had been blocked by the enraged Crystallius Gorrila and were still battling.
"Congratulations, Tron. You are the first to emerge from the Arcane Path. Your name will be carved in the history of the Dark-Bane Academy."
Magus Reynold's voice floated in the sky.
All who were first to emerge from Arcane Path would be recorded in the lore of the Dark-Bane Academy.
This was something which could be lauded easily anywhere.
"Tron! Tron!"
Instantly, the entire servants were cheering Tron's name with a frenzy.
He was the pride and dream of all the servants. From servant to the path of magus. That was the legend in all the servants' hearts. It was what they all aimed for. If they did not succeed by the time they were 15, then they were basically all consigned to Sethra's track.
Every servant had dreams of becoming a magus!
Seeing Tron so exalted at this moment, Xavier was extremely unhappy. To him, Tron standing there was a cruel jest against himself. And he clenched his fist in anger.
On the other side, after confirming the events, Sethra's eyes gradually reddened, she was truly happy.
Crowds of servants thronged around Sethra. The covetous and reverent gazes that Sethra had never enjoyed before.
After a time, Seraph, James, and Maine had slain the Crystallius Gorrila and emerged from the Arcane Dark realm.
"Shameless slave! You actually took advantage of us. Withstand my spell!" Maine's face was dark, and he hefted his palm, ready to attack.
"Halt." Magus Reynold's light word evaporated Maine's anger. He could only stare balefully at Tron, mouthing the words, "You watch out later on the Arcane Battle stage!"
Tron had indeed taken advantage, but he had not broken the rules, and some did not really mind it. It was too early to celebrate. The key lay in the next examination, the Arcane stage battle.
Gradually, 100 participants made their way out, each one covered in fresh blood, standing under the gazes of thousands.
After 100 arrived, the rest could only exit the arcane path. They were not qualified to stand on the Arcane battle ground.
Some were so close. It was a pity.
The Magus Path's exit was already closed shut.
100 young men and women stood under the gazes of several. They were full of fighting spirit and fire. Their young lives were homing in on the Magus path. Their blood boiled as they embarked on the path to becoming a magus!
