Chapter 243: Question and Answer (2)

Arthur knew this old man's intentions were good, but for some reason... That smile seemed to be mocking him. He wanted to smack this old man's annoying face, but he didn't really do it.

"That sounds good, but I have to reject it. Some imperial team will help fix the outdated academy system. Sigh, it's about time the Deterry Academy of Magic adopts such a sophisticated system... After hundreds of years, the academy rules must change in my time. So much work to do." Arthur shook his head at the pile-up of tasks. Sometimes, he just wanted to be lazy, but responsibility pushed him to move.

"Is that so? You said it, and it was you who would be at a loss for refusing the free a.s.sistance of the Holy Cathedral's special team." Alexander shrugged his shoulders slightly, closing the conversation on the topic.

"Elysia Avery, I would like to ask you about what happened recently. I've heard a lot of the details, but there are a few things I still have to ask to confirm things." Arthur turned to the girl who was the key to the problem. Hearing that, Elysia just nodded innocently.

"Is it true that 13 students were killed and eaten by the monsters?" Arthur immediately wore a solemn expression. He would be responsible for the deaths of the students.

"Yes, that's what I saw with the students concerned as witnesses. As one of them, not long after my hunting group led by Serena entered the cursed forest in pursuit of a wild boar, we saw the corpse of a male student near three monsters." Elysia confirmed that and glanced at Serena.

"For the other 12 students, they died deciding against those accursed monsters. Maybe something like sacrificing themselves to give their friend time to run. My help failed to save everyone..." After saying that, Elysia slightly lowered her head. It was a tragic and gloomy point.

Then, Evelyn and Ella held her hand as if trying to comfort her sad and depressed heart.

"Is that true, Serena Scott?" Alexander looked back.

Serena could only nod her head repeatedly. She was too scared to say anything other than honesty. Alexander sighed once again after knowing that. He already knew all the student reports that his team had collected. A concordant conclusion could be drawn with this related information.

"I see... 13 young seedlings have fallen honorably. They will have an honorable funeral." Arthur declared, even though he was thinking of appeasing some aristocrats who were sure to cause trouble.

How could that be? 5 of the 13 students who died were from aristocratic families. Their families obviously wouldn't take it for granted when they found out their descendants were dead. It was a bit more troublesome than ordinary people's families.

The VIP room atmosphere suddenly turned a little gloomy because of Arthur's question, but it wasn't over yet. He still wanted to ask a few things on that topic, especially the accursed monsters.

"What do you know about those accursed monsters? Please provide details for our preparation against them in the future. How did you kill them?" Arthur still felt confused about that. Elysia was a student at the Apprentice level, and this Spirit Beast... There were too many complex matters to answer.

"Those accursed monsters have unique traits. They have high physical attack resistance, immense magic immunity, great action speed, and carry curses. They resemble something like--" Elysia explained some of the details she had expected.

It took her about five minutes to deliver a narrative explanation about the accursed monsters.

She summarised the curse that would attack the accursed monster's killer, poisonous blood, miasma, the monster's corpse exploration, and several other things.

All were necessary for the common good. Elysia didn't cover up crucial matters, but she didn't reveal any essential personal things either.

"It makes sense why the cursed creatures were named accursed monsters by the G.o.ddess of Light. They are also too troublesome to be true. Then, how did you kill those accursed monsters, Elysia?" Alexander stroked his beard while digesting the new information.

"It's thanks to this black odachi and Vann's a.s.sistance. This is a high-level weapon I got from Instructor Dillon's challenge." Elysia stroked the cat on her lap, then took out Celestia from her s.p.a.ce Bag. The odachi was still shiny black without any stain, even though it had cut hundreds of monsters.

"My magic was neutralized, and the Reinforcement Magic I applied to my body had instant repercussions. Even so, the physical attacks inflicted by this odachi can split open the monsters. I don't know how many times I've been badly injured and healed in battle, before the unexpected explosion..." Elysia grasped the odachi carefully. It was a dangerous sharp weapon to show.

"Ely..." Evelyn and Ella spoke simultaneously. They wanted to end the conversation on this topic. However, Alexander and the princ.i.p.al didn't seem to have the same opinion.

"Hmm... This is the odachi that Arthur Brat and the big knight failed to pull out. Let me examine this weapon for a moment." Alexander held out his hand, and Elysia just handed it over. Yet, strange things happened after that.

*Clang* *Crack*

The odachi fell down, got stuck on the floor, and also crushed some tiles. Alexander accidentally dropped the weapon because the mysterious energy rejected him. The odachi seemed to refuse to be grasped by others.

"Grandfather, what are you doing? Why did you drop the sword? Look, the floor is cracked." Ella was a little surprised.

"Hmm-hmm, what a strange sword. Celestia, huh..." Alexander muttered as he read a carving near the odachi's rain guard.

Then, he tried to pull the odachi off the floor. It was too heavy, as if his strength had no effect. The Pope tried to infuse his magic energy for it. The result was pretty good, and he managed to pull out the sword.

"The high-level sword, hmm... I'm sure this odachi is level 50 or above just because of this unique trait. The user must prove their worthiness to the weapon before using it. Once this weapon has recognized a wielder, it will reject other people who want to use it." Alexander observed the black odachi in his hand with a conclusion.

"Elysia, this is the odachi named Celestia, and this is a powerful and beautiful weapon. I return this. Please channel your magic energy and lift it from my hands." Alexander returned the odachi with both hands, fearing the same impact would happen to Elysia.

As expected, Elysia also felt that the odachi was much heavier. If Instructor Dillon said the odachi weight was 200 kilograms at that time, then it might be several tons right now. However, on that occasion, Instructor Dillon managed to lift Celestia. So, Celestia hadn't acknowledged anyone as its master before she swung this odachi on the training ground?

Elysia didn't know what happened, and maybe what the Pope said was true. Therefore, she did as suggested and funneled a little of her magic into Celestia. The odachi returned to its usual lightness, and Elysia managed to lift it from the Pope's hands.

"Wow." It was just one word spoken by the three girls sitting next to each other. Elysia, Evelyn, and Ella were amazed at the sword's ability.

After that, Elysia put Celestia into her s.p.a.ce Storage with her s.p.a.ce Bag as the pretext.

Arthur felt that the things he wanted to ask had been answered, and his confusion had been resolved. It was time to question the matter regarding the academy privilege card.

"Elysia Avery and Serena Scott, the academy has found out and examined it with corroborating evidence regarding your privilege cards. Elysia, who should have a platinum card, is holding a silver card. And Serena is the opposite. Can you two explain this? You know the academy rules, and this is a serious offense." Arthur emphasized the facts while looking at these two problematic students.

'What!? It was discovered too fast! It doesn't go according to plan, and there is no scenario about this. Ahh, why not wait till tomorrow, you stupid Princ.i.p.al Emperor! It will be less glorious and impactful for Serena, and the great show we have prepared in a month is already ruined...' Amongst the people who were shocked, agitated, or nervous, only Elena exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

'...' Elysia was at a loss for words. If it was like this, what should she do?

"Th-that, I already said it to the student council president. It was Elysia, she gave me her platinum card! Then, I gave her the silver card in exchange because she asked for it. Cora and Nico were there with me, right?" Serena stuttered a little in her defense in front of the two superpowers. Her confession was relatively smooth because she had been practicing in her mind a while ago.

'Huh!? How dare this hateful girl. Ely, reply to that girl with harsh words. If you can, make her cry with your words. Also, make sure that girl is punished according to our plans.' Elena felt displeased, angry, and irritated at the same time. She just wanted to teach Serena some valuable life lessons that the girl wouldn't forget.

'I think it's a wrong move, Sister Elena. If it's like this, let me take care of it. I started it, and let me finish this here. Your plans for tomorrow were thwarted by the princ.i.p.al.' Elysia rejected the suggestion. She had already thought of a more amicable solution to this privilege card problem.

'Then, please make sure this Serena girl regrets what she did. I don't like that girl, so give her a precious punishment that she won't forget. Well... Whatever the outcome, this Serena girl won't be able to show off her talent level anymore. Also, make sure you are the innocent victim, Ely.' Elena reminded her sweet little sister of a few key points

Elena knew very well if this problem was solved today or tomorrow, then the impact would be similar. Serena would lose her circle of friends and get punished. But if today, the fun thing wasn't ready, and it was regrettable.
