Elementalists
Chapter 149 - Offers
There may be about fifteen minutes of missed time just finished Arya destroy the magic measuring device, the examiner who was next to her fell silent not knowing what to do. Then arrived – arrived Headmaster got up from a sitting position and in an instant was standing right in front of Arya.
“Halo Mr White? Would you come with me for a minute?”
“A...ak...aku?...” Arya's face was deathly pale, she never thought it would damage the object. Anyway he should think of a way out of this situation.
As the few examiners tried to get closer, the Headmaster raised his hand to keep everyone quiet on the spot. While Arya is also quick – whistled fast three times so that Ryan who was about to make a fuss to run away undoes his intentions.
“How?” asked the old man again with a friendly smile.
“Sure Headmaster”
“Good...Then, mari”.
ZAP UP!
Coinciding with the Headmaster's hand touching his shoulder, the two of them disappeared from the exam location. Ryan gritted his teeth, Turin and Qibo hunted – rushed to him to ask for further action.
“Magic Space and Time....teleportation huh? Ck!? Friends, be careful – be careful. The man is not an ordinary person”
------><------
SHAYU!
Arya blinked a few times in order to suckle herself with the condition of dim lighting –remang. The light there was much less than the place of the exam earlier, he was already standing dazed in a large room full of furniture – unique furniture.
“Please sit Mr White, would you like to drink something sweet, sour, or bitter?”
“A...sam I think” replied Arya heart – heart after obeying the Principal's order.
“Good choice, Taubay!”
The noise of cups and teapots began to sound, the objects floated to the table and poured a purple liquid for Arya. Appreciating the gift, the Elementalist drank it one gulp. It tastes delicious is also familiar, but he is not sure what the basic ingredients are the secrets of making it.
“You like it?”
“Huum, so good that”
“Thank God, Mr White? Do you know who I am?”
“You are the Headmaster of Divina Academy, Ilzaxar Iruphior”
The name is quite attached to the mind of Arya, because Ryan, Turin, and Qibo always remind to be careful – hearts on this figure. He was one of the Great Magicians along with the other four great Magic Academy leaders.
There is news that he has the greatest power among them. The famous Universal Witch, The Quiet Genius. The nickname pinned to him since he was young, a lot of great and influential inventions Ilzaxar creations spread throughout the land of witches.
“Happy, so I don't need to introduce myself right?”
“School Head, about magic measuring device—”
“That wreck? Don't think about it, I've been asking them to replace it for a long time. Your actions actually help resuscitate the slackers there, thank ya”, he replied lightly.
“T..ta..but....Headmaster, price—”
“Sstt is enough, forget it. And please stop referring to me as the Headmaster, you just need to call me Professor”
“Alright Professor Iruphior” Arya replied still do not understand.
“That's right, by the way – says Mr. White. Can you play chess?”
“Eh?”
------><------
Both of them played chess for no matter how many hours, from about ten rounds they had done. Arya suffered a crushing defeat, but there was something strange here that made her not want to give up easily.
“Skak”
“Ugh!? Hmm...”
“Hehehe I amazed Mr. White, at such a young age. You are quite intelligent as well as meticulous, I have not experienced resistance as hard as this” Iruphior praised.
“Looks...I lost again Professor, ahahaha”.
Magic chess games actually have no difference in size with ordinary chess, only players are able to move the piece without the need to move it. Just using the eyes and thinking about where it is going, it can make the – pawn pawn follow the order.
“Once again”
“Hehehe...I like your spirit gaze even though it has been conquered many times Mr. White. But I think playing it first enough, I'll get straight to the point just”
“Hmm?”
Arya felt a change in Iruphior's attitude, though it seemed calm. Actually he's on full alert. As the Headmaster reached into the pocket of his robe, Arya reached for her wand.
“Mr White, as long as you know. We never have a problem with one's background, but talent is the main thing. Considering your abilities, this old witch wants to offer you something”
“What is it?”
“How about you work at Divina Academy as a new Professor?”
OHWH!!!
Arya drink came out of her nose as soon as she heard the word – said Iruphior, while coughing – cough and looking for a tissue to wipe she said astonished.
“Uhuk! Uhuk! P...Pr...Professor?! You must be kidding”
“Of course not, I am indeed applying for a job contract with you” Iruphior's serious face further frustrates Arya.
“Chief School, I came here to learn magic and become a student! Maybe my magic power does look promising but really, my knowledge of spells is true – is true minim”
“If the problem is just calm, eat it I want to give you this thing” he took out a small glass bottle the size of a Human nail.
Iruphior then explained that – people call it the Essence of Memory. The liquid inside contained all the knowledge and memories of the old man from his teenage self until now.
If Arya drinks it, all the science, spells, and magic of Iruphior will be mastered in the blink of an eye. Armed with this, it is not impossible for Arya to become a teacher at Divina Academy.
“Your answer Mr. White..?”
“I thank you for your trust, appreciation, also generosity Professor. But it seems with weight I have to reject” said Arya calm down.
“Can I hear the reason?” Iruphior raised next to an interested eyebrow.
“Maybe it sounds a bit silly and naive, I think it was an act of cheating”
“It will benefit you, and no one else harmed”
“You're wrong, I plan on following the Five Heavenly Stars Tournament. If I agree to Professor's request, I won't win”
Laughter broke the silence of the room, Iruphior laughed out loud – bahak until his tears came out. Arya stared in wonder asking – ask in heart if the person has gone mad or possessed by supernatural beings.
“HAHAHAHA! That's how it looks, too bad. But how else, so you're planning on entering Mr White's Tournament? Looks like you have to work hard because only five-star Witch and above can participate, and there are only six months left
“I will fight”
“Hihihi..you know, I have an ability called Assessment Eye. So as to see one's magic in the form of color, usually most magicians have a white, or black aura if ever perform a certain taboo action.
However, there are some special cases of the appearance of other colors. For example Marylin Merlin, the energy of having a girl is orange. And arguably he became one of the most talented Witch to date, but there is even stranger.”
“Mmm....?”
“Your magic, they are red and deep orange. Just the first time I saw such an awkwardness”
“I... don't understand you mean Professor” replied Arya honestly.
“Means we are the same”
CTAK!
With a flick of a finger, a portal appeared. Iruphior said that if it leads right to the academy exit, Arya bowed her head respectfully to the exit. It seemed like he had managed to escape becoming a disciple of Divina Academy without any problems.
Just before coming out, Iruphior threw something that made Arya almost hanging if it fell due to the value of the item.
“P..Pr...Professor?! Aren't I—“
“Save, who knows it's useful for you. Throw it away if you don't need it, and all of it is in my head. See you” the Headmaster refused Arya's intention to return the Essence of Memory and then closed the portal again.
When the – boy was nowhere to be seen again, the old man took out ten chessboards from the empty air while smiling wryly.
“A terrible boy, he was able to predict twenty steps ahead. If I don't cheat, I'll lose. Hehehe”
