Ascension of the Nephilim - Chapter 658: Class to Attend
658 Class to Attend
A senior teacher crashed down again. It was too embarrassing! He had fallen thrice in his attempts.
Originally, this was supposed to be the norm for all who took the test.
The teachers would have undergone hours of this ordeal to see if they would improve or change. The test was designed to be disgustingly brutal to see how the teachers could take this opportunity and grow stronger.
This Senior Teacher was even opposed to Emeros, but now, the great temptation to ask for his help was there.
BOOM!
An explosion of Magic and Force suddenly appeared as Senior Teacher Crea managed to break the last levels of the obstacle and became the second to pass the test!
Zwelus was already on top and was panting as he gave a wry smile to Crea.
Crea walked out of the circle and collapsed on the floor.
Her Master Teacher watched her arrival with a complicated expression.
“Crea… He…”
“I… know master. He used me. I was his foe… and now, I am here. But… he was right.”
“…” The Master Teacher could not speak anymore and allowed Crea to rest.
Less than ten minutes after the exam began, two had passed, and many of those Emeros gave instructions to were already progressing and were flying higher!
Emeros had been wandering side to side, giving instructions to those willing and hints to those who were cautious.
“Ugh!” A teacher fell. But despite falling down, the teacher stood back up with a face ready to rechallenge it!
The senior teacher, who also crashed down, was enraged as he gazed at the teachers reaching higher heights than him!
Emeros walked to the side, teaching another, and finally, the senior teacher could not take it anymore.
“This is an outrage! How… dare you!” The senior teacher walked towards Emeros, teaching another teacher.
“Dare me what? Am I breaking any rules, Senior Teacher Biren?” Emeros asked back.
“You…! You are…” Biren couldn’t complete his sentence as Emeros was indeed not doing anything that goes against the laws set.
Master Teachers were prohibited from teaching their disciples. But a fellow teacher could freely give their advice to each other!
“This is… this is not the purpose of the test!” Senior Teacher Andre Artes was accused.
“Ah, Senior Teacher Andre. I see that your magic abilities can’t even bring you to the third of this place. Suppose it was me and other Teachers already crossing the last third of the height. In that case, I’d bury my head in embarrassment as your face was smashed on the ground when I shot you with magic.” Emeros chuckled. ƒ
“You brat!”
“What is the purpose of the test?” Emeros asked immediately.
“Do you know what the Great Ones and the Pedagogs have in mind for this test, Senior Teacher Artes?” Emeros smiled.
Artes was silenced. He wouldn’t dare answer this question. He dared not assume what they were thinking through this test.
“Oh? So you don’t know. I know.” Emeros smiled.
“You know?”
“I know for me. I know that my mysterious backing is making everyone curious. And this test is a way for me to prove to them why I was selected by this mysterious master, whom I am not perfectly certain of. All I can do now is to prove my abilities as a teacher. And teaching teachers is a good way to prove it!” Emeros explained.
“Of course, this test will certainly be different for all of you. The Master Teachers and the Pedagogs and Principals are involved in creating this test. So there could be a specific purpose to everyone.”
“Then you have caused everyone to fail! You didn’t give them a chance to learn!”
“They did learn. They learned humility. They learned to listen to someone who was beneath them. And because of that, they also learned many things about their abilities and completed this test several times faster than you two will. As teachers, we should also be good students. They listened to a boy barely in his teens. Imagine how humbling this is? But as they ate their pride and humbled themselves, they were ahead of you. If the two of you are humble enough, I could teach you.” Emeros chuckled.
Artes and Senior Teacher Biren froze at those words.
Emeros didn’t waste any more time on the two teachers and continued to teach another.
“Alright… Teacher, what you need… erm… wait. We have people who are not humble listening to our conversation.” Emeros leaned in and whispered his teachings to the teacher.
Artes stomped off angrily, and Biren turned their attention to the heavens as he made yet another attempt.
Senior Teacher Tedd and Teacher Lesly had once more fallen on the ground. They witnessed the two senior teachers making their angry exit. They only saw the two teachers, Pors and Vertik, received instructions from Emeros and had taken the medicine crafted.
Vertik was still trying to recover, and Pors had reached an enlightened state and was seated as if in a trance.
Emeros had already stopped teaching them, but for some strange reason, Crea, his enemy, had received a more in-depth teaching.
“Why did he teach Senior Crea enough to help her ascend?” Lesly asked.
“An example. He wanted to show everyone that his teachings really work…”
“But why her and not us?”
“Because… we are neutral in the political battles. If teacher Emeros shows that his instructions could make his enemy pass, then we could trust his teachings. Now it’s Crown Prince Magnus versus Prince Alistair… So if we want to help, we must make a stand.” Senior Teacher Tedd answered.
BOOM!
Tedd and Lesly saw Pors challenged the heights once more.
Force and Magic created a powerful explosion that lifted Pors up high. It was a similar application of magic to Senior Teacher Hector.
Pors flew and used it again, feeling the energy, and exploded. But unlike Hector, Pors spun like a hammer flung into the air!
“Use my mana to shift the weight of my body and use it at an equilibrium!” Pors exclaimed.
BOOM!
Once again, he allowed the explosion to happen at his feet as it fell. Suddenly, the weight disappeared and helped him fly up as he tossed his Force and Magic, making it appear like his body arced.
Hector couldn’t take the strain of constantly releasing explosions up the straight flight. Still, Pors was POW!
11:08
BANG!
Moving up the sky like a hammer bouncing from one impact to another. His movements would fly sideways giving his legs and arms rest to activate magic.
His fall’s distance was lesser than his ascension through this technique.
BOOM!
With one last explosion, Pors reached the top!
The group was amazed at what Pors did.
BOOM!
An explosion occurred, and next to a cauldron, Teacher Vertik could be seen flying through the air with his famous Sky Dasher skill returning to power!
Vertik ran not in a straight line up but ran and stepped on the magic circle itself! A power that made him famous was his ability to step on magic!
Vertik ran, rising up the formation circuit until he reached the top!
SKIIIIDDDD!
Vertik laughed and laughed as he saw his legs function.
“Impressive. You have a unique repelling magic that is innate to yourself. And you have used it quite formidably!” A Pedagog smiled.
“That was truly impressive. Tell me, who is your Master?” Another Pedagog asked.
The teachers at the bottom were stunned as they saw the Pedagogs move.
“Teacher Emeros! I am humble!” Senior Teacher Tedd ran towards Emeros and bowed.
“I am unlike these arrogant men who mock you! I want to learn. You are clearly superior in wisdom, and my advantage is that I was only born sooner. Teach me…” Tedd answered.
Biren and Artes nearly stumbled on the words of Tedd.
“Tedd! Where is your honor?! Where is your pride as a teacher!” Artes called out.
“Teacher Emeros! Teach me!” Lesly also pleaded.
Soon, many others also followed.
“This… This…!” Artes fumed in anger.
“What has become of the teachers of this academy?!” He roared.
BANG!
Senior Teacher Lesly smashed the face of Artes with her staff.
“Quiet!”
“You! How dare-!”
POW!
BANG!
ZAP!
Attacks from different teachers were shot at Senior Teacher Artes and Senior Teacher Biren.
“Shut up! We have a class to attend! Now, teacher Emeros… Teach us!” Senior Teacher Tedd begged.
