Chapter 118: Returning To The Academy, Ten Superior-Grade Elemental Affinities

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the rise of the morning sun, the rays of dawn shone upon the land.

In front of the solemn and stately academy gates, an endless stream of horses, carriages, and people flowed to and fro. Guards in golden armor swept their eyes over the students going in and out of the academy, their eyes cold and sharp as though hawks.

“Tell me honestly, Alex. How many cute, gentle, little maidservants did you defile this winter break again?”

“Get lost, get lost! Don’t spoil my reputation!”

“Pooh! Who doesn’t know that you, Alex, are a famous lustful fiend? After holding it back for half a year in the academy, wouldn’t you let loose after you go home?”

“Bastard! Would it kill you to stop talking that much...”

As Meng Lei stood in front of the majestic and awe-inspiring gates and listened to the laughter and bantering around him, a brand-new sense of vigor and spirit shone in Meng Lei’s eyes.

The Underground Cave Magical Spiders had been annihilated, and Little Gold had stayed behind in the underground world.

After spending a day settling the arrangements for the Magical Beast Village villagers, Meng Lei also left. A night’s journey later, he was finally back at the academy.

He had undergone astonishing changes during this month or so away from the academy. It felt rather as though things had changed, but it was also a brand-new beginning.

Meng Lei had a lot of plans in mind, so he was looking very much forward to the future.

In comparison, the old geezer next to him was in a completely different mood—his body trembled, his eyes were red, and he was beside himself with agitation.

This was something understandable, though.

Ol’ Amos had still been this academy’s president and a high and mighty Saint Domain Great Magician when he had left back then. Yet upon his return 20,000 years later, he had become a wandering ghost instead.

How times had changed and how things had changed!

“Never would I have thought that I’d be back.” After gazing at the academy for a long while, Ol’ Amos sighed softly and said, “During those 20,000 years when I was trapped underground, I had wanted to come back and take a look even in my dreams. My wish has finally come true today.”

“There’s nothing much to see outside the gates, Ol’ President. Let’s go, I’ll bring you around inside.”

Meng Lei smilingly took his magic badge out of his spatial ring and pinned it on his chest. Then, he walked toward the academy gates.

The golden-armored guards’ line of vision landed on Meng Lei. When they saw the magic badge on his chest, they provided no obstruction and allowed Meng Lei in.

“Ol’ President, let’s go and take a look at the Saint Dragon Square first.”

“The Saint Dragon Square? What’s that?”

“You’ll see when you get there.”

They passed through the cooling, quiet sycamore tree-lined little path. Then, dozens of different statues entered their sight.

Meng Lei pointed at the Saint Domain statues and said cheerfully, “This is the Saint Dragon Square, Ol’ President.”

“Why did they put so many statues in such a big area here? What a waste of space!”

Ol’ Amos frowned lightly, a look of displeasure surfacing in his eyes. Nevertheless, he still walked over to the statue nearest to him and began to inspect it closely.

“Fred Flit, the 348th, and current academy president. A noble and powerful thunder-elemental Saint Domain Great Magician, his forte is thunder-elemental magic and thunder-elemental Dragon-Language Magic. He is the first person to successfully unravel the secret of the Titan Holy Thunder...

“...created a total of 1,058 thunder-elemental Dragon-Language Magic spells and normal spells, and made the most outstanding contribution to the research and development of thunder-elemental magic...

“Eh?”

Ol’ Amos was mildly taken aback when he read the history of this Saint Domain statue. “The current academy president is pretty impressive. He has actually managed to unravel the secret behind the Titan Holy Thunder. Impressive, impressive!”

“The Titan Holy Thunder?”

Meng Lei was rather puzzled.

“The Titan Holy Thunder is the Titan Empire royal family’, the Thunder Titans’ exclusive thunder-elemental spell. Its might is several times, even up to dozens of times, that of ordinary thunder-elemental spells. Even thunder-elemental Dragon-Language Magic pales in comparison to it.”
