Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

When all the darkness it spread got purified by the sickle, the next thing that happened was the book being shattered in two halves by this sickle, causing a minute explosion inside Arthur's soul.

"Boom!"

This wasn't the sound of an explosion inside Arthur's body, however it was an explosive shock that happened from his body, where the walls holding back his energy suddenly shattered, and his energy soared to reach another level.

"Boom!"

Another explosion occurred as his soul and body absorbed the purified enormous energy from that book. Arthur's energy kept rising in an explosive way, jumping directly to the next level without any restraints this time.

"Good lad," Cesile commended as she knew Arthur had reached a higher level in his talent and strength would subsequently rise as well. "But what was that cursed book?" Otman asked, as this book gave him a very bad feeling.

"It's a cursed relic done by the dark side," Amanda simply replied, and her words made the others understand what was going on here, and also shut down their mouths and not ask anymore about it.

The dark side incident that happened years ago was caused by the betrayal of her disciple, and thus they refrained from delving deeper in front of her about this topic.

"Let's go back, this kid is going to be fine on his own," Amanda suddenly said, and when she noticed the doubtful looks over their faces, she added, "he isn't yet part of our academy. He still has a competition to win, and he must score higher than anyone in it. if not, then all we have done for him so far would be in vain."

They knew she was right, as they totally forgot the simple fact that he wasn't a student in the academy yet. No one here had the doubt that Arthur would succeed in this competition, and even would be the top ranked mage in it. however, they had to follow the rules, and be an example for others.

So, they all retreated, and in their path, they met the new assigned master for the test. He was another clan son master, but Amanda never cared about this, as she herself was also a clan daughter master, despite she shattered all the relations with her clan long time ago.

"Hi esteemed masters, I was informed to go and supervise the annual competition," this master respectively said, as he noticed their presence at the gate of the academy.

"Tony, I will trust things here in your hand. Don't try and change anything, it's already too late to do that. just go on with the previous preparations, and if you need anything, just inform me."

Amanda just said these words casually, before she continued in her way, accompanied by everyone else, except for Cesile, who just delayed herself from others, and whispered in a soft cold tone:

"Tony, don't try to play tricks with my favorite disciple, or else no one would be there to help you."

Tony nodded, despite smirking in his heart in response to her warning. When he heard the news, he had already gotten contacted by all the great clans and guilds, and he had made his part of the deal with them.

Despite knowing how terrifying Cesile was, he knew if he just played by the rules, nothing bad would happen to him. Tony believed Rolaf was an idiot to act this careless and commit all these mistakes directly under his authority, as this wasn't wise at all.

As for him, he would be much cautious, do everything in the dark without being detected, and be safe while he would achieve his goals.

He passed the slightly opened gate of the academy, and his eyes fell over Arthur, who was currently immersed in absorbing the energy from the orb.

'Sigh, another monster is showing up! This academy is really a cursed place! from where these monsters kept popping up? Anyway, I don't know why you hurt Rolaf this bad, but it's your own deeds lad to gain the wrath of his clan.'

Tony thought to himself, as he already received a kill mission from the Rolaf clan, asking him to get rid of Arthur before entering the academy. Tony then walked towards the main masters presiding over this competition, and started to arrange things there.

As for Arthur, he was in a whole different world, where the moment of his energy shattered the walls holding it, his energy had a new area to expand to.

Arthur didn't need to do anything, as his energy was already hungry for expansion, reaching new heights in density and clarity, making him only watch and enjoy this marvelous feeling.

He continued for a couple of hours more, while Tony ordered for the other orbs to resume their test. The ruckus caused by Arthur's test had already delayed the testing phase for such a long time.

After two and half more hours, Arthur's body had reached its saturated state, where no more energy could be used. He knew this state well, as this indicated his new strength needed to be used frequently, to be stabilized.

He sighed, as he regretted leaving this treasure trove now. he just opened his eyes, moved his hands, and glanced around him. the moment he did so, he attracted everyone's attention in this area, making him feel quite embarrassed.

He glanced around for the owner of that voice, the one who came to help him, however he found none. He knew he must have taken a lot of time in this test, and that person might have left a long time ago.

"Great record you made here, mage Willy."

Suddenly this strange voice came from behind him while he was standing there in daze. He turned to see Tony walking slowly towards him, with a calm expression over his face. "My name is Tony, and I'm the head master, the new one, of this competition," Tony added, as he decided to take the initiative and get to know his target.
