Chapter 252 - Ma.s.s teleportation
The young professor Flynn was urgently rus.h.i.+ng about around the school"s campus, until he had finally reached his destination. In full force, he barged through the door in front of him.
"Professor Springett!" But as Flynn entered the large empty training room, he realised that the person he was looking for was nowhere to be seen and instead professor Del, Ray"s homeroom teacher was inside.
"Sorry about that, have you seen professor Spirngett anywhere?"
Del was currently sitting on the ground with a brush, making several strokes on the floor as if he was drawing something.
"Today, I don"t think I have," Del replied.
"I wonder where she went?" Flynn thought rubbing his head.
"Oh, what"s this?" Flynn said looking at the floor Del was drawing on. "Oh I know, perhaps that is the teleportation circle we will be using for the lower cla.s.ses practical training. It looks really complicated, I could never make something like this."
The Training Room was large in size and in the middle of the room behind a gla.s.s case was a large beast crystal. There was a strong power radiating off it, meaning it was at least of the Super tier or perhaps even higher.
Around the crystal was a magic circle that Del had been carefully drawing this whole time. In order for the teleportation circle to be used on so many students at once, a powerful beast crystal was needed.
"Yes, it is hard work," Del replied.
"I heard that it will transport them to a prepared training s.p.a.ce with pre-prepared beasts. This year training session should be the most advanced yet."
"Of course." Said Del "Since it"s the first training session of the year we"ve got to make sure everything is done right. We can"t have any of our precious students hurt now can we."
"As expected of the teleportation master Del."

Inside the cla.s.sroom, one of the cla.s.ses had just finished and the students were busy chatting away. That"s when Max came out of nowhere and slammed a pile of papers on Ray"s desk.
"What"s all this?" Ray asked.
"Well you"re planning to go against Blake right, then we need allies." Max said, "Here is a list of all the people who either don"t like Blake or at least have some sought of power to resist his temptation."
"Wow, you got all this in one day, impressive." Ray couldn"t help but think that Max reminded him of Kyle a little. Kyle used to always know the latest information and was able to talk to whomever he wanted freely.
"Are you telling me that everyone on this list has the power to go against Blake?" Ray asked.
Max pulled a nervous smile.
"No, not exactly, I just looked into those that were n.o.bles or were at least high scoring students."
Suddenly, Ray felt like he was unimpressed with the list. After learning about Blake"s background from Jack and Martha, Ray knew that they needed more than high scoring students and n.o.bles to stop him.
"Hey what"s with the long face, it was hard work trying to find anyone." Max then out of the pile of papers lifted out two of them with two names. "Look, I"m unsure about the others but these two will defiantly be helpful."
Max then placed one of the pieces of paper in front of Ray"s face.
"Our first candidate, Norah Sine. She is the only one in the whole academy that is royalty, she comes from the Cryterian Kingdom. Although far from the Alure Kingdom the academy has allowed her to get special treatment. Since she is a princess, they have even a.s.signed her a personal guard that attends her and follows her around the school."
However, what Max had said wasn"t true as Van was also considered royalty but this was kept a secret from the others.
"Anyway, if we get the princess on our side who the Academy Is even afraid to touch, then Blake will be…" Just then Max stopped mid-sentence as he realised his voice had raised with excitement.
He placed his hands on his face, now knowing that everyone around them had heard their conversation.
"Hey, aren"t they planning something dangerous, gonging up against Blake."
"Yeah I hate this, it"s like school hasn"t been the same ever since that Nes kid transferred in."
"I already hate the fact that the freak is in our cla.s.s and now Nes is just stirring up trouble for everyone."
Although not everyone in the cla.s.s shared the same opinion. They felt like Van was being untreated fairly too, if it wasn"t for Blake himself being powerful and his family backing they themselves would have tried to do something. Or at least they would like to think they would try to do something.
"Okay then, who"s the second person?" Ray asked.
"Actually, it"s a n.o.ble"s son from the empire named Kaito Molo. Apparently, he came to the academy at the same time as Blake and what I heard was the two of them don"t get along. Since he has a powerful backing as well they avoid fights."
"Well, that"s perfect then, if they don"t get along it should be pretty easy to convince him to come over to our side."
"There"s just one problem though. Ever since he entered Roland academy he hasn"t been able to even advance to the middle-cla.s.s tier, he"s still stuck in lower cla.s.s like us, Even though he"s already been at the academy for four years"
"Huh, how come?"
"Well, maybe he just doesn"t have strong magical abilities, but he always gets good scores on the written exams but think about it, since he hates Blake and is a n.o.ble son, wouldn"t it be a good thing to get him onto our side?"
Although Max was talking about backing in the school, Ray was thinking on an even bigger scale. Ray was thinking about how to invite these people to help him out in the war against the shadow.
"I did also try to see if there was anyone at least in the middle cla.s.ses that would be of help." Said Max, "But it"s hard as we don"t even get to meet with any of them because they"re in a completely separate building to us."
Just as Max finished saying those words, a loud knocking sound was heard. At the front of the cla.s.s was a middle-tier student who had knocked against the bored on the wall.
"Attention please, I am here to deliver a message from professor Del, for the upcoming practical cla.s.s he would like you all to meet up at the western a.s.sembly hall for a mock test. So everyone, start moving."
As the students started to follow the middle tier student out of the cla.s.sroom, Ray looked in the empty seat next to him. Van hadn"t turned up for cla.s.s and was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you go Van?" Ray thought.
