Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 131

A fourth-ring mage had the ability to protect herself in this situation, so naturally, she didn’t have to worry about the accident, but it seemed that she didn’t want to escape alone, but she wanted to help out.

“I’m going with you too.”

Reiner also stood up, making the woman look at him in surprise.

‘An ordinary person? No, a mage apprentice.’

Feeling the presence of magic energy from Reiner’s body, the woman thought.

“You are brave, but an apprentice is not very useful in this case. No offense.” The woman glanced at the mages that were noisy before, and then said to Reiner.

“I won’t cause you trouble,” Reiner said, with a firm attitude, causing the woman to sigh softly.

“Well, if you insist.” The woman asked the attendant to lead the way, and the three came to the bridge.

“Stabilize the air pressure! Try not to let the ship be carried away by the air currents… Huh? What are you doing here? This is not a place where ordinary people can come!”

The captain who was anxiously commanding the helmsman saw the three of them and immediately scolded them. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

“Let’s not focus on this unimportant thing. How is the situation?”

Ignoring the captain’s scolding, the woman took a step forward. The cuff that had four golden stripes, which represented her rank, shone immediately, letting the captain understand her status.

“Uh… we are on the outskirts of Ernest and encountered strong turbulence during the descent. We are now trying to restore balance and land in the Ernest airport.”

From the altimeter and barometer, it could be seen that the airship should have encountered a strong air current, and it caused the deviation of the airship’s flying path, which was difficult to correct. At the same time, it affected the floating magic, causing the airship to drop at a speed exceeding the limit.

Originally, these turbulences could be detected in advance through various detection methods, but this time the airship encountered a special phenomenon called “clear sky turbulence”, which was almost impossible to predict. This was an extremely rare situation, even if the captain of the ship had been piloting an airship for several years, it was difficult for him to solve this problem.

“Contact the tower on the ground and ask them to send mages to help us. I will reduce the descending speed.” The woman said, and then climbed up from the bridge to the observation deck, which was directly connected to the outside world.

At this time, the raging wind was blowing outside, scattering the woman’s long light red hair in the air.

Reiner followed behind the woman. He had already used the communication ability of the Hohenheim Golden Cup to send distress signals to the surroundings. He would definitely get help from the mages at Ernest, so he didn’t need to panic. He followed the woman because he wanted to see what solution the woman had to solve the problem of strong air currents.

The woman glanced at Reiner. The calmness of the mage apprentice surprised her. After all, not everyone could be as calm as Reiner after experiencing such a dangerous situation.

Then, she stretched out her left hand to the front, half of her forearm was exposed in the robe. Reiner could see that on her slender arm, countless tattoo-like runes shined, and her long red hair had changed. It was as fierce as a burning flame now.

Through the Hohenheim Golden Cup, Reiner could feel that the original free magic energy in the air was condensing towards the woman’s palm. This phenomenon was called the “magic energy vortex”. When two people with different levels release magic in the same place, the person with a higher rank would use more magic energy floating in the air, resulting in the higher rank mage crushing the lower rank mage in the battle.

Just when the light of the runes on the woman’s arm reached its zenith, a flame burst in her palm.

It was not a simple fireball, but a raging flame that flowed like a living creature. The flame formed the shape of a bird, spreading its wings and rushing forward.

The scorching heat swept across Reiner, making his clothes a little messy. Reiner narrowed his eyes slightly, only to see the bird made of flame hit the space in front of the airship.

Buzz-

A sharp bird-like screech sounded from Reiner’s ears. The bird was like hitting an invisible wall, and it was instantly broken to pieces. The flying flames turned into debris, instantly spreading across the entire space.

Feeling the temperature rise, a few drops of sweat oozed out of Reiner’s forehead, but at the same time, as the temperature rose, the originally strong airflow around him gradually settled down.

Using convection of hot and cold air to ease strong airflow?

Reiner thought that this mage might use something unprecedented to solve the problem, but he didn’t expect it to be such an operation.

“The airflow has decreased, and we have regained control!”

Hearing the captain’s excited cry from below, Reiner could feel that the originally shaking airship was becoming stable, and the rate of descent was also slowed down a lot.

Although the floating system had not yet recovered, at least the captain could rely on gliding to adjust the descent position and slow down the speed of the fall.

At the same time, several small black spots appeared in the distance. It was the mages who came to the rescue.

From the palms of those mages, many silver rays of light flew out, intertwined into a huge net in the sky, catching the descending airship.

This was an exceptionally spectacular scene. In the clear and clean sky, countless bright silver threads were woven to firmly catch the huge falling airship. However, due to the failure of the power system, this heavy airship still maintained its extreme fast-falling speed.

In the next moment, countless rays of light rose from the ground to form a denser net. This time, the airship’s descending speed was completely slowed down. Then the net of light slowly descended into the airport with the airship.

At the source of this light stood a mage wearing a delicate robe. His hair was sparse, but his beard was knotted. He looked about fifty years old, and the cuffs of the robe were dazzling with eight golden stripes.

This was a high-level mage!

“Why does this Excellency come in person?”

The woman standing in front of Reiner finally showed a surprised look. She thought that the few mid-level mages who came to the rescue earlier were more than enough, but she didn’t expect to see that a high-level mage would come to help personally.

She naturally recognized the appearance of the high-level mage, and immediately after the airship landed, she flew out and landed in front of the high-level mage.

“Your Excellency, thank you for the help.” The woman bowed, but the high-level mage only nodded slightly, as if his attention was not on her.

The high-level mage looked behind the woman, and soon found Reiner standing at the top of the airship. He took a step forward, then flew up and hovered in front of Reiner.

“I happened to be near the area when I sensed the Hohenheim Golden Cup’s distress signal, so I came as fast as I could.”

He said. He then looked Reiner up and down, as if to confirm that he was safe, and slightly nodded.

“To be honest, this is the first time an airship accident has occurred this year, and the first time there has been clear-sky turbulence in the Ernest Airport in nearly 50 years. Reiner. Ian Gray, you are really lucky.”

“Your Excellency, thanks to your help, otherwise I might have to land on Ernest’s ground in a more rude manner,” Reiner replied.

The high-level mage was quite impressed by his undisturbed calmness, thinking that he was worthy of being the youngest winner of the Hohenheim Golden Cup in history. In addition to knowledge, he was also very courageous.

The high-level mage’s behavior made the woman who had seen everything stunned. She stared straight at Reiner, who was talking and laughing with the high-level mage, as if he was some kind of exotic animal.

‘Who is this guy?’

The woman who didn’t hear the conversation between the two was filled with doubts
