Chapter 26 - Threat

Threat

In the morning inside the academy's garden, Stefan was walking and said, 'The weather sure is nice.' Looking at the sky, lost in the beauty of the sky, Leveon called from behind, 'Ooh, the sky sure is nice today. How nice! Let me explain, my friend, looking at the sky, lost in its beauty.' I called him three times, but he didn't answer. Stefan interrupted, 'Cut the crap; you don't call me three times.' Leveon Ashford made a weird expression and said, 'Just kidding.'

Anyway, how is the training of your students going for the Magusveil magic tournament? I am sure it is complete because tomorrow is the tournament. Stefan said with a smile. Yeah, it's almost complete. There is one thing I would like to teach them before meeting Sylara Frostwil, imperial mage and cops commander, so I guess she finds out about three priests. Leveon said 'Stefan continues and replies, "Yeah, she finds out after calling the Imperial Mage place head." Anyway, I am curious about one more thing.' Leveon continues and says, 'Why didn't you find out about the three priest 'identities? It doesn't look like you didn't pull that stuff.' Stefan made a sharp gaze and reply.

It's obvious to avoid getting attention; you know who I am. Alerion van Blackell, the fourth prince of the Blackell empire, was once upon a time a good-for-nothing alcoholic womaniser, one of the three legendary mages who, according to the people of this empire, was responsible for the Blood Night incident nine years ago and disappeared and probably died.

But I did not die. You know that I spent seven years wandering. After that, I lived with you for two years, and you suggested that I become a star instructor. I agreed because I want to live a quiet life as Stefan Wellmate. Leveon said immediately,

Now, now, calm down. You tell me the whole plot of the story. Sorry, but Leveon suddenly turned his expression to serious and said, 'Brace yourself. We are currently in the academy's garden. Do you have any idea if someone hears us now?' Hey thanked me because I do soundless magic so no one can hear us. Stefan smiled and said, 'I already know you do soundless magic. That's why I told you the whole plot. Sorry you didn't get that.' Leveon said, 'You brat, I will be taking my leave, and I will lend you a hand if those bastards show up. Don't worry.' Stefan smiled and said, 'Sure, I have a feeling that someday this undercover of mine will eventually be revealed. I called them; they will arrive in a few minutes, I guess,' Stefan said in his mind.

After a few minutes

The four selected students stand in front of Stefan, and Stefan says, 'As you all are aware, tomorrow I have work to do, so there is only one thing left for me to teach you all. What is it, Ceriyan?' Strowale said, 'Stefan, reply, "I am going to teach you a crucial lesson now. Come at me one by one. Let's start with you, Eldric Wynterfell." Me.' Eldric said in shock, 'Ooh, come on, I am not going to kill you. Do your best. Show me what you have learnt during your training, right, Eldric? Now let's begin.'

Eldric Wynterfell stands in front of him. Stefan, wellmate, without warning, he moved and appeared in front of Eldric – no sound, no warning. Eldric reacts instantly, freezing the air itself. Ice surged from the ground. Stefan walked through it easily with his two fingers; he tapped Eldric's chest crack. Stefan said your ice is strong, but you hesitate, but this hesitation can kill you in the Magusveil. Eldric staggered back in defeat in one exchange. Stefan said, "Heal," and a green light appeared and healed Eldric's wounds. Professor, you know healing magic. Eldric said 'yeah' quite a bit. Stefan replied and said, 'Alina Rosvel, now it is your turn. Come here and show me what you have got.'

The moment Stefan turned, flames erupted, spirals of fire tearing through the garden air. Alina attacked fiercely. As Stefan raised his hand, the flames bent, extinguished, and compressed. He stepped past her and flicked her forehead, breathing hard. 'Alina dropped to one knee,' Stefan said control yourself and continued fire, which burnt blindly only lit his own grave. Stefan healed her and said, 'Eliana Falric, now it is your turn.'

Let's begin. Eliana moved perfectly. Timing precise mana Blade's footwork was flawless; she landed three clean strikes. None reached him mid-swing. Stefan caught her wrist and gently redirected her momentum. Eliana found herself in the situation pressed against a tree blade inches from her own throat. Stefan said, 'When things become predictable, it is no longer fun; learn to surprise yourself.' Stefan healed her; she lowered her weapon-filled eyes with resolve. Stefan said lastly, 'Come, Ceriyan Strowale.' The genius magician – let's begin.

wind explode ceriyan Strowale vanished, striking from every direction at once incredibly. Eliana said as Stefan closed his eyes, the air froze. Ceriyan reappeared, hand caught in mid-motion. With a push, Stefan released him. He said, 'Speed sure is interesting, but without awareness and stillness, it is nothing but noise.' Listen to the wind before you become it. Serious for once, Ceriyan smiled faintly.

Four students standing in front of Stefan as he said, 'You all fought well and improved. This concludes your training. You fought a powerful opponent today, but in Magusveil you fought opponents who are at your level, so do your best.' A voice came from behind. 'Yeah, do your best. It is none other than Sylara Frostwil. Ooh, Commander, you're here. Imperial Mage cops, Commander Sylara, I can't believe I met her here.' Eliana is thinking, 'Are you the best children, just like your instructor said?' Sylara said, 'Yeah, we will do our best now. Then we must take our leave until the next time inside the Stefan office so you get the identity of the three. Who are they?' 'Stefan asked if they are criminals of the underworld.' 'Of course,' Sylara said.

Presist Varex is a significant figure connected to the Doctrine society, also known as the Seven Colours Society, and Priest Malric and Priest Seraphyne are former spies of the Doctrine society. What's their goal? Stefan said, 'We are not sure; most likely emperor assassination or taking students hostage. We have to wait until tomorrow.' Sylara Frostwil said, 'Somewhere in the mountains, all preparations are complete. Your priority is to catch that girl only. Understand?' Yes, sir, we understand.
