…
The director of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, standing in front of their many professors, was a female Magus. This was well within Leylin’s expectations but after scanning the crowd once he observed something odd. Even still he did ask immediately but rather he looked at somewhat familiar face of the director.
Leylin couldn’t help but begin to inspect her features closely. She had long, wavy blonde hair and a doll-like face. Her starlike eyes, small stature with some baby fat remaining on her face making the woman whose skin was as pale as snow seem lovable and adorable. Materialised spiritual force at the peak of rank 2 was being emitted clearly from her body.
Leylin could easily see her energy undulations were different from those of regular Magi, she gained an inheritance from an ancient branch back in eternal plains, the information was obviously detailed and donated to the organization by her graciously.
“Lord Leylin!” The female Magus opposite him curtsied, her pleasant voice sounding like a black-naped oriole, “Welcome back! Abyssal Bone Forest shall forever be your home!”
She was obviously showing her good will, and her voice immediately made Leylin think back to the bonfire at the acolyte camp. He remembered her as a person, yet her appearance has really drastically changed from her previous hideous visage.
“Nyssa, you finally achieved your goals and even more than that I must add.” Leylin spoke slowly with a gentle smile. This female Magus was the one who had been deceived by her Mentor. The one who had turned into a disgusting freak due to a failed experiment. Contrary to her former nickname of ‘swine’, the Nyssa now was the very personification of beauty.
“Thank you for all your support and encouragement in the past.” Nyssa’s chest bounced up and down, she evidently had many things to say. Immediately after that, she ran her eyes over the surroundings, “Lord Leylin is no enemy. You may return.”
“Understood.” The stone orangutans saluted respectfully and brought the skeletal troops back to their original places.
“Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Leylin Farlier, the eternal pride of our Abyssal Bone Forest Academy! Let us welcome him warmly.” Nyssa spoke with the poise of a leader to the professors behind her. She was completely different from the fragile and weak girl of the past.
“He’s that Leylin!” “The Eternal Nightmare?” “Leader of the Rebelhearts” “No, I heard that…”
His previous actions had earned Leylin a reputation second to none in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. People quickly began whispering under their breaths when his name was announced; some of them who were ranked high enough had received some information that caused them to humble themselves further before him.
The chattering stopped with but a wave of Nyssa’s hand. This simple action showed off her authority.
Nyssa turned her attention to Bicky and a little girl behind Leylin looking at them with great interest, Leylin smiled and signaled them to introduce themselves.
“It’s a pleasure to meet director Nyssa, you might not remember but I am aslo a student of Abyssal Bone Forest, from the Tyler family. I was an apprentice under Master Kroft and His Majesty fellow apprentice. My name is Bicky Tyler. ” Although Bicky herself was a mighty Rank 3 Magus but she still humbly announced herself, before Leylin she didn’t dare to act haughtily. Leylin knows both of them and before him the difference of Rank 3 and Rank 2 is no distinction at all.
After Bicky announced herself she sweetly grabbed the little girl in the back who was looking at everything with great intrest and kept mute. The way that Bicky hold her and looked at her with a bright kind smile make it seem as if she knew her for a long time.
“Hello, My name is Emilia I am a student of His Majesty. It’s a pleasure to meet you. ” Emilia bowed with a proper noble Magus etiquette and also addressed Leylin as ‘his Majesty’ similarly to how Bicky did, even though this address startled others and prompted them to rethink Leylin true status, they still kept a smiling face.
The crowd has no idea about Leylin true strength and really don’t understand how lofty of a character he really is, and the weightage behind his name. To them the title His Majesty is a symbolism of his coming reign in South Coast and sure enough with his organization strength it’s no brainer that such is the case, no one living in the South Coast has the guts to refuse his claim.
Nyssa looked at both of them with good will and shared a few words as she shot a sweet smile at Leylin, and it seemed to light up the whole graveyard. “I know there’s a lot His Majesty want to know. I have a lot to say myself, so it’s best we continue this in my drawing room below.”
“Mm,” Leylin nodded, he showed no reluctance or reaction of Nyssa change in addressing as if it’s the most normal thing. This indifference created a faint ripple in her heart and a small disappointed but Nyssa continued to guide them.
Following that, he entered the underground construction that was the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy escorted by the many Magi.
The surface of Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was a graveyard, but it had a huge underground structure that could accommodate thousands of Magi and those doing odd jobs inside. It was like a complicated but precise beehive.
In the main drawing room, Leylin put down the black tea in his hands and listened to Nyssa as she gave an account of all that had occurred after they parted ways.
“… And so I acquired that sage’s inheritance and successfully became an official Magus. Two centuries later, I reached rank 2 and was elected the director of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.” Nyssa tucked her long hair behind her ear.
“Mm, You have worked hard!” Leylin watched the girl in front of him. While what she said sounded simple, but one could imagine the price she’d had to pay for all these changes.
“The academy has changed a bit!” Leylin laughed as he spoke bluntly.
Three Magus families had managed everything when he’d been studying at the academy, even electing its director but afterwards their vitality was greatly impacted due to the losses gained in the war, eventually their status dropped even more so, as those with even a little connection with Leylin became more prominent gaining connection from not only Rebelhearts but also Lighthouse of the Night a Rank 3 Dark Magus organization who wanted to express good will towards Leylin.
The fact that Nyssa was the director testify the current state of Academy.
“These are all good changes induced from the benevolence of His Majesty, your visionary thoughts and revolutionary actions of that time created a temple for Magus and stabilized the South Coast bringing about many much needed changes followed by a flourishing new era for us.”
Nyssa was all smiles as she watched Leylin. Although her words were light, the carnage behind them did not need to be described.
Whatever be the situation, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was merely a small-scaled organisation with its most powerful Magus being Siley who was only a middling rank 2. However, Nyssa was at the peak of rank 2, which made it easy for her to push him off his throne.
Leylin chuckled without responding to her flattery words, “I am not really interested about these things but there are a few other people I would like to enquire about.”
Hearing this, Nyssa’s eyes dimmed, “I can guess who you want to ask about. Our companions, Guricha, Dodoria, and even Jayden have all died… Only the two of us remain from that batch.”
“I see.” Leylin shook his head, without any change in expression. Those were all small characters who cannot withstand the baptism of fire and blood in their journey to the path of truth. Now except for Nyssa and Bicky who was from an earlier batch before him, no one remains.
“Jayden’s Mentor, White Bone Dorotte, went missing during an expedition into some ruins. News spread that his life imprint dissipated, which means there’s little chance of his survival.…” Nyssa spoke calmly. She hadn’t dealt much with either Jayden or Dorotte, and her sorrow for their deaths couldn’t compare to what she’d felt when Guricha and Dodoria died who were her buddies in Acolytes days.
In reality, magic study and research was filled with dangers. For two acolytes from the south coast to survive and even achieve such dazzling results was quite rare.
“How about my mentor, Professor Kroft? I couldn’t help but notice his absence, wasn’t he promoted as vice-director?” Leylin asked on.
“Potioneering Professor Kroft is indeed our Academy prestigious Vice-director, his contribution are both remarkable and awe inspiring. Afterwards he was able to breakthrough despite the cursed crooked path and reached Rank 2.” Leylin immediately went silent upon hearing Nyssa’s words, as she looked at him with disguised envy.
For someone like Kroft who advanced with Grine Water and a Rank 1 defensive Spell rather than the proper advanced mediation techniques path, his future is severely limited, if everything followed suit then he should have died years ago due to life span expiry but fortunately he mentor a remarkable unparalleled peerless genius like Leylin who created a bahumat like organization and with the help of resources from them, he gained a breakthrough.
Although Kroft is weaker than a normal Rank 2 but even still it’s not something a Rank 1 can match, not to mention his life span increased drastically.
He wasn’t surprised that Kroft advanced, though he was still a little happy for him. The professor was merely a rank 1 magus, and even if he was adept at Potioneering there was a limit to his lifespan but Since he had advanced to rank 2, it was natural for him live longer.
“Master Kroft Leslie after years of practicing potioneering eventually decided to take a break roaming around the continent, and after he became aware of the tragedy which befall the Farlier line, he was saddened and choose to travel to Chernobyl Islands. He decided to choose a worthy discipline from there and pass on his knowledge.” Nyssa sighed as spoke. Even though Kroft gained a breakthrough and a new lease on his otherwise dwindled life expectancy, he was still not destined to achieve much success, both his Magus path and potion talent was in a bottleneck and as such his desire to wholeheartedly pass on this legacy was strong and who better than to the choose than Leylin own brach family.
“He was already notified about His Majesty appearance and he is euphoric to meet but the travel would take a long time.”
Leylin stayed silent for a while longer before his voice sounded out, “Thank you very much, Nyssa. I don’t plan to stay here for long, but I have a simple request.” He announced.
“Please Your Majesty!,” Nyssa quickly replied and bowed, inwardly she was on cloud nine, she can faintly guess his next words and the implications were very tempting.
“Many thanks. I’d like for you to enroll my disciple Emilia here in Abyssal Bone Forest, in the past I started my journey from here learning important life lessons and I want her to also experience them.” Leylin said with a knowing smile towards the glowing face of Nyssa.
Leylin has eventually decided to send Emilia to this Dark Magus organization to spend her valuable young time and flourish, with her talent advancing is easy and the only bottleneck is her temperament and demeanor which he hopes to sharpen through this chapter in her early life. If Emilia can mold her heart and learn through hardship her future achievements would be remarkable.
“Your wish is our command, to enroll such a shining diamond in my small organization is my greatest fortune, you can rest assured she would be guided probably. I would personally guide her!” Nyssa exclaimed with a bright smile but she immediately sensed a chill in the air after her words fall.
“No I don’t need for you to teach her anything, do you think I have lack of capable teacher for her?” Leylin refuted coldly.
“I won’t dare-” Nyssa turned pale as an invisible force pressed on her body threatening to break every bone in her body.
Leylin looked at her for a mere second and turned his attention leaving her with a sigh of relief, “Emilia would be like every other student, with no special treatment. Only by clawing, scratching and tearing her way through this endeavor would she grow up to be a proper Magus. Her hardship is her biggest ally and asset, I won’t let anyone destroy it.”
“I understand!”
“But keep in mind, if anything happens to her.” Leylin smiled coldly and the air seemed to freeze, Nyssa wanted to cry with no tears in sight, neither can she help her nor can she remain indifferent only protecting from the shadows, it’s quite a predicament. But regardless of her feelings she assumed the most gentle smile and agreed readily.
Leylin reclined on the sofa, waving his arms as if in weariness. Leylin would obviously not leave the safety of Emilia in her hands, he has already made proper requirements but his Trump card would only work when her life is in serious danger and a critical period instead of that in any other situation it won’t do shit, even if she loses a limb or two.
“Then I’ll take my leave.” Although Nyssa was the host, she seemed to obey Leylin unconditionally. She bowed slightly before retreating in caution.
…
“Are you going to meet your family in Chernobyl Islands?” Leylin was quietly sitting on couch with an unreadable expression while playing with a green seed as Bicky came and asked.
Leylin remained silent as he pocketed the seed and stood up, looking at a particular direction his dark black hole like eyes seemingly tearing through time and space as he seer through with a detached expression devoid of any feelings.
“No!”
“Oh!” Bicky was beginning to feel very uncomfortable and suffocating looking at Leylin and as she was about to retreat back while cussing herself for distrubing him, Leylin voice ranged.
“All that remains of that family are stranger, those people of that time are long dead. There is nothing to go to.”
“Your Majesty, They lived a great life and died with huge content, I am sure of that, with a son like you there is only happiness and joy.” Bicky spoke as she tried to come near him but as she took a single step forward she found that her body refused to listen to her keeping her restrained in an embarrassing position. She simply coughed and back down.
“I hope so, John Farlier was a good father.” Leylin thought as he remembered a scene from the previous owner body, it was of John when he looked at Leylin in the eyes, his gaze filled with tenderness and warmth.
‘He is indeed the kind of father who would do anything for his son…’ Leylin thought with a sigh in his heart. John also cried with happiness, when Leylin was tested to have magical aptitude thinking that his son was finally on the right track
