Chapter 27 - Onward To The Capital

The twilight sky looks so beautiful with birds flying across the sky. Unfortunately, I and several other members of the Six Elites could not enjoy the beauty at all because currently our bodies were lying limply on the floor of something called magic transportation. A transportation that uses mana in order to move.

We were not affected by food poisoning or attacked by unknown parties. The reason why we were like this was because the transportation we were riding in was uncomfortable.

Even Reinhardt, the member of the Six Elites who was known to be the calmest, also collapsed weakly.

"I swear on the name of my clan that I will never ride in any transportation created by Vivianne Blanch in my life."

Vivianne, who heard the oath, immediately gave a sharp comment.

"You call yourself a member of the Six Elites but can't stand a little turmoil? Look at Rilyco, she seems to be enjoying the ride. You need to train yourselves better."

Trying to get up while hugging Lichtalia who was almost unconscious, I said, "Rilyco is not normal. I just met her but I can conclude that."

Fang added his criticism, "Besides, why did you think of creating a transportation in the shape of a tiger? Its speed indeed very efficient in cutting down on travel time, but running on four legs, at least use wheels to make the journey comfortable."

Vivianne looked at Fang with a hostile gaze, "What tiger walks on wheels? Do you want to ruin the beauty of my design?"

"Then don't make this transportation like a tiger from the start. Make a horse-drawn carriage or something. I'm sure you can make a faster and more comfortable version of it."

Vivianne clicked her tongue and said, "I want to create a new mode of transportation, not modify an existing one."

The argument between Vivianne and Fang continued until they were finally silenced by Rilyco who said excitedly, "Can you stop your childish banter? Look, we are almost the gates of the capital. You better recover yourselves so as not to embarrass the Zephyr Magic Academy and Principal Merlin in front of the people who have been waiting for our arrival."

In the end, Vivianne was forced to stop her transportation some distance away so that we could tidy ourselves up.

"You guys still look lousy. Drink this, this is a special potion I made to eliminate all the negative effects received by the body."

Reinhardt, who had recovered after drinking the potion given by Rilyco, stared at the girl with an annoyed look in his eyes, "If you had a potion like this, why didn't you give it to us from the start?"

"Hey, don't look at me like that. You didn't ask for it, how would I know if you needed it?"

Vivianne was seen laughing in satisfaction while Lichtalia reminded them all again that they didn't have time to dwell on what was over.

When I saw Vivianne start to walk away from her unique transportation, I asked why she looked so relaxed leaving her precious tiger just like that.

Lichtalia casually replied that her transportation would not be stolen because she had installed an automatic security system. In addition, seeing the appearance of the transport which resembled a tiger with a giant body, anyone would stay away because they would think that her transport was a magical beast and such.

"Oh, I almost forgot to give you your new sword. Here, take it."

Vivianne took out a sword from inside a magic circle and threw it towards me. Lichtalia, who saw that immediately commented, "The spell you just used, wasn't that …"

"The spell used by Ifrit to instantly summon his sword when fighting Ace in the duel arena." Fang cut Lichtalia off while adjusting his glasses.

Not to be left behind, Reinhardt also added, "It is a high-level spell that allows the user to manipulate space to a certain extent."

While looking at my sword with a satisfied smile, I said showing my admiration, "I didn't think you could do such thing like that. It seems Lichtalia has a rival."

Lichtalia immediately pinched my hand at the comment I made and I laughed at her response.

Who doesn't like being praised? Vivianne was clearly very happy. But the girl quickly clarified her abilities.

"I indeed copied the spell that Ifrit used in my mind, but that doesn't mean I can use it. I was just inspired and created a magic tool that has the same purpose."

"But still, it was an amazing thing." Said Lichtalia with a smile on her face.

Talking about various things, even though I just joined as a new member of the Six Elites, it feels like we are all getting closer.

Without realizing it, we arrived in front of the capital gate which was guarded by the magic knights of the Zephyr Kingdom.

Different from spellcasters, magic knights are people who trained to be knights even though they can be a spellcasters. They can also use spells in combat and more importantly, they are only loyal to the kingdom. Different from spellcasters who can affiliate with anyone as long as it benefits them.

After learning that information from Lichtalia, I felt that the Hall of Combat had many similarities with the magic knights. However, since I am still new as a Hall of Combat student, of course, there are still many secrets about my hall that I don't know and what makes them very different from the magic knights in terms of philosophy and the way to use the spells.

Seeing six people in the same uniform approaching the gate, the magic knights immediately turned their attention to the six people who were none other than me and the other members of the Six Elites.

"Stop! Show your identity and tell us what is the purpose of your visit to the capital?"

A more senior looking magic knight immediately noticed our uniforms and remembered the message from his superior.

"Stop it, don't act impolite to the distinguished guests of the four noble clans. The six of them are from the Zephyr Magic Academy. In other words, they are the Six Elites."

Walking up to us, the senior looking magic knights said with a humble tone, "Please forgive my member's rudeness. He is a new recruit and does not know about the Six Elites. My superiors have ordered that once you have arrived, I must escort you directly to the hotel that has been prepared by the representatives of the four noble clans. Please, follow me."
