Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

That head master had already pictured the moment when that mage would burn to death in front of his eyes. Though this would create some problems to him with the supreme council of the academy, he didn't care.

What he cared about really was his undermined deals with other clans and guilds. These folks never joked around, and if he failed in giving them what he promised, then returning what he took from them wasn't going to soothe their anger.

In a few moments, the energy entering Arthur's body changed dramatically, from the cold ruthless ice energy, into the hot explosive fire energy.

In front of everyone, that growing block of ice, flashing with some lights every now and then changed, as suddenly a red light started to emanate from Arthur's body, while the outer surface of the ice started to produce thick fog, that clouded everyone's vision of what was really going inside.

Arthur had another story going on, or a celebration to be honest. If he had an affinity to ice, then for fire he had many folds affinity, as he already used fire so many times to transform. The moment the fire energy entered his body, his body turned into a hungry beast, roaring from excitement, and all the energy entering his body was instantly engulfed without leaving a speck behind!

Arthur's body was really craving for fire, as his body was already bathed before in much weaker form of it. when this extremely pure and highly concentrated fire energy entered his body through the orb, his body shook when it touched this very high grade energy, then it started to madly absorb it, then this way didn't satisfy his own hunger!

Another change appeared, as his body shifted from just adapting to the energy entering his body into the one that started to suck the energy dry from the orb itself.

The orb was a single part of a very huge one inside the academy, and that large one was connected to energy producing materials, very rare and extremely precious ones.

Arthur's sucking force had even bypassed the smaller orb, and reached the greater one. The moment he got linked to this orb, his body started to feel satisfied with that, and the amount of energy entering his body escalated to an unimagined scale.

But when his suction force reached the big orb, a new world opened to his eyes, where the main four energies appeared to him, in addition to another one that he never tasted before.

Lightning energy!

The lightning energy was ranked as the highest one among the five, making the supreme council of the academy forbid using it on any student of the academy, and only masters were allowed to try it.

This energy was classified as much more devastating compared to the other four, and thus no one had the right to use this in the test, or in the normal teaching classes of the academy.

However, when Arthur's suction force reached the huge orb, he found this new energy available to him. He didn't need anyone's permission, and his body started to absorb every form of energy inside that orb, including that new one.

The moment the lightning energy entered his body for the first time, his body shook, and in front of everyone, the ice block which was now just forming a thin layer around his body started to be dyed in dark red color from the severe reaction he had with that new energy.

"That's better," the head master nodded in satisfaction, thinking wrongly that his plan was working, "let him bleed to death from the fire energy," he added, with a satisfying look over his face.

Arthur's time had already closed up on the young master of his clan, but if Arthur died, nothing of this would matter anymore. The head master just stood silent, while all the mages took part in the competition, and some of the masters standing at the academy gates were feeling shocked from this horrifying scene.

Everyone thought Arthur was dying, but none of them even realized how gravely mistaken they were!

Inside Arthur's body, the lightning energy was bathing his bone marrow, replacing its old cells and tissue with a brand new, very strong and much enduring one. It also started to burn down all the useless blood inside his body, which made his body emit a great amount of blood in this short span of time.

However that wasn't done with any risk on his life, as any old blood was instantly replaced with a much better new one. This process didn't pass without much pain to him, but he endured.

His body was getting through many transformations at the same time, which made him very ecstatic of this fortunate encounter. at the same time, he knew if he couldn't tolerate these changes and broke down right now, everything would be lost, and a very devastating backlash would erupt.

No chance was there without risk, he knew that. so, he endured, biding his time patiently and steadily, giving his body the chance to evolve.

He took ten minutes for his whole body to change, and the newly absorbed lightning energy had much credit in that, making his body have a new affinity to lightning as well.

When that happened, all the stormy berserk changes inside his body halted, and his current state stabilized. In front of the eyes of all the mages outside, the blood coming out from his body ceased to appear, while the thin ice layer surrounding his body started to get thick again, with the color of his skin to change into a red fiery one.

This was such a bizarre scene to witness, but it only indicated one thing; Arthur wasn't dying. No one knew how he managed to pull such a feat, but the fact was presenting itself clearly in front of their eyes.

Arthur wasn't going to die!

"How can the ice got thickened again?" the head master angrily shouted at his minions, before turning to glance at them while ruthlessly adding:

"Stop this test, enough of the time he already had. We will have to make another batch of mages going up higher in timing above him! Stop the test now!"

His orders were received by the shaking bodies of his followers, as they hurriedly looked at the one responsible for controlling the energy test and this orb, with a consoling look in their eyes.

Their master was extremely enraged right now, and it was expected that this poor fellow of them would take the full toll of this anger.

The mage responsible for this test hurriedly controlled the small orb, controlling it to stop injecting energy into this young monster. The moment he tried to do so, he had a severe backlash, making even his body stutter to the back couple of steps, before blood oozed from his eyes, nose, and the corners of his mouth, with his face turning ashen white.

The orb refused to follow his command, as it was completely under the absolute control of Arthur's body!

"What a useless one you are!" his head master didn't care about what happened to him, as he hurriedly went over to the mage, violently grabbed a smaller orb from his hand, in the size of a finger's nail, and with the other hand he slapped this mage's face, ruthlessly sending him flying away.

He didn't even wait to see if he was alive or dead, as he instantly turned his gaze towards Arthur as he squeezed the orb's small part in his hand, controlling it to stop the test.

He was a very strong mage in his own regard, so the backlash he had from such a small orb didn't affect him like it affected the weaker mage from before. However, his inner organs felt quite uncomfortable, like he was hit by a huge monster directly in the chest!

He swallowed his pain, as he coughed one time, and his face slightly worsened, yet his eyes shone with a very determinant light, as his face showed an extremely brutal expression.

"Do you dare to defy me?" he gritted his teeth, and in the next moment he summoned all his strength, and applied it over this small piece of orb.

A piece of orb meant it was part of the larger orb, and crushing it like that would instantly crush the orb in the hands of Arthur. This wouldn't come without paying a price as well, as once he did that, he felt a greater backlash, making two thin lines of blood appear at the corners of his mouth.

He wiped them off at once, without even caring about this, while his eyes were frozen over Arthur's body, and the intact orb in the hands of his.

Arthur's body sensed the extreme shocking force coming towards the orb, trying to crush it. This made his body react, using all his strength to make the orb stand together, supporting the orb from shattering by his own sheer force.
