Chapter 171 To Oaklum! Part-1.
Academy, teleportation Altar, Morning.
'The weather doesn't seem that good today...' (Rio)
Looking at the sky, Rio could feel that it was definitely going to rain today.
'But would it still be rainy at the port city though...' (Rio)
Today, Rio and others are going to teleport to the port city of Oaklum. Although the weather above the capital city looked like it might rain anytime now, but that's not the case with Oaklum.
Oaklum is located more than a thousand kilometers away from the capital city and there are thousands of cities in between them.
As the teleportation altar at the Academy is one of the most advanced ones, it can directly teleport people to a teleportation altar located thousands of kilometers away, in Oaklum. (A thousand kilometer-long teleportation... indeed magical...)
The academy has established connections all over the human empire and its scouts wander all over the empire in search of talented children, so obviously they have this convenient method of traveling too.
While Rio was contemplating in his mind, the teleportation altar maintenance staff was modifying the magic circle of the altar to put the coordinates of Oaklum into it.
(A teleportation altar, teleports people to pre-set coordinates. If you need to teleport people to some other place you will need to modify the altar's magic circle and change the coordinates manually...)
...
After a while, other party members also started to show up at the teleportation circle one by one.
"Oh! you are here early today, Rio..." (Lia)
Lia smiled at Rio as she greeted him. Her sweet smile made Rio feel relaxed too.
"Yeah, I got up early today..." (Rio) (He has been suffering from insomnia for days now, he barely even sleeps...)
"Is that so! I am also excited! It's been so long since I went to the beach! Last time was when I was very young!" (Lia)
Hearing her excited tone, Rio tilted his head and said:
"Is that so, then you should enjoy this trip to your heart's content then..." (Rio)
"Yes!" (Lia)
"I myself have never gone to the beach... so it will be a new experience-" (Rio)
Suddenly someone patted Rio's shoulder.
"Bahahahah! You are such a boring guy, Rio, see I have a whole private island for myself! I go there every year for vacation! Bahahaha!" (Link)
Hearing Link's voice, Rio shrugged his shoulder and replied:
"You are too rich, don't compare yourself to others..." (Rio)
Link ignored Rio's answer and all of a sudden he said in a serious tone.
"By the way, do you know how strong those third years are?" (Link)
The atmosphere immediately turned serious when Link mentioned the third-year students.
Similarly, Rio replied in his usual emotionless tone.
"Not as strong as my 'sword intent' I think..." (Rio)
A smirk appeared on Link's face hearing Rio's reply and he stared into Rio's eyes with a meaningful expression over his face.
"Should we beat some sense into them then, just so that they don't look down on us just because they are one year ahead of us... hehe! It will be interesting to break a few bones at least..." (Link)
A devilish smile appeared on both Link and Rio's faces when talking about this.
"Why not... let's cut a few limbs too when we are at it..." (Rio)
Just when the two of them were planning on beating their seniors with devilish smiles on their faces, a cold voice suddenly entered their ears and made them come back to reality.
"Ahem! No playing around for now! You guys have a mission to complete, make sure you don't create conflict with your partners!" (Raji)
Hearing Raji's remarks, Link and Rio both stopped conspiring against their seniors. (If not for Raji's warning they would have definitely attacked...)
At Raji's warning, Link and Rio stopped messing around and stepped aside to wait for the rest of the party members to arrive.
A few minutes passed by in a flash and eventually everyone gathered near the altar.
After all the students finally gathered, Raji nodded her head and said:
"Okay, enough messing around now, the altar is ready! Keep your safety as your first and foremost priority... now, enter the altar all of you..." (Raji)
...
On the other side.
The Port City Oaklum, Morning.
A hidden basement.
The magic circle on the altar shined and the whole dark basement glowed up from the brightness of that magic circle.
After a few seconds, seven people appeared on the teleportation altar. When they opened their eyes and found themselves standing in this dark basement, only one thought came into their mind.
'What the f*ck!?'
"Oi oi!, did they mistake the place? I was expecting to see beautiful scenery with the vast sea stretching over in the distance and dolphins jumping around... but the heck is this place!?" (Link)
Hearing Link's irritated voice, Rio replied in his usual emotionless tone.
"It's a basement, moreover, its entrance is sealed... we are ten feet under the ground..." (Rio)
Using his mana detection, Rio immediately discovered the situation.
He glanced at Link and said:
"I can't sense any killing intent nearby, perhaps this might indeed be a mistake on the maintenance staff's end..." (Rio)
Liam walked down the altar and glanced at the sealed door with narrowed eyes.
"It's a peak A rank seal... hmm let me see... Ellie enhance the output of my mana interruption ability..." (Liam)
[Understood!] (Ellie)
With Ellie's support, Liam started to break the seal on the door.
*Boom!*
Liam hurriedly looked back at the sound of that massive explosion, and he was immediately shocked.
"Tch! How impatient can someone be!" (Liam)
He saw that Link's head was stuck in the ceiling at the moment and there were large cracks in the ceiling.
"F*Ck! This is the first time I have seen someone bash their head, directly into the walls of a room that is enhanced with rank A magic!" (Liam)
Seeing this Liam just shook his head and continued unlocking the door.
Link ignored Liam's words and jumped down, he crackled his neck and then took his stance.
"I thought that my face was thick enough to break through this rubble, but it seems I might need to use some attack after all!" (Link)
[Dao Rhythm!]
[Dragon arts: Head bash!]
With his physique enhanced by 'Dao Rhythm', Link directly broke through that magically enhanced concrete ceiling and jumped outside immediately.
All the rubble flew out with him and scattered around everywhere.
Just when Link was about to go back to pick up Riya, he felt danger and thus jumped away from the spot.
[Sword Intent!]
With his sword intent, Rio split the whole ceiling and created a two-meter wide opening.
Then Rio glanced at the others and said in his usual expressionless tone.
"Let's go…" (Rio)
With that said, he took Lia's hand and jumped out of the basement with her.
Fade and Kira also followed suit as they cast wind magic over themselves to fly out of the basement.
Meanwhile, Liam finally destroyed the seal and opened the door. He and Riya used the stairs to walk up and arrived on the ground in the most comfy and straightforward way.
"That was quite a good seal, I was able to warm up my brain with it-" (Liam)
Liam's eyes widened when he saw the scenery and he also stopped talking like everyone else.
The place they all were standing was the back garden of a small mansion. This place was located on a small hill on the outskirts of Oaklum.
to its geographical advantage, you could see the whole Oaklum easily from here.
"So beautiful…" (Riya)
The clear blue sky with white clouds hanging in it like foam and the vast ocean with small waves rising here and there, looking at this godly scenery, everyone felt quite surprised.
Except one.
"Tch! You rich bast*rds have no sense! This place is nothing compared to the scenery back in my hometown!" (Fade)
Hearing Fade's mockery, everyone glanced at him with a disgusted look on their faces. Fade had totally destroyed the good vibes in that moment with his sh*tty mouth.
Link immediately kicked him away.
"F*ck you! Go away you piece of sh*t!" (Link)
The one Kick made Fade fly away and collide with the wall of the mansion. The wall directly collapsed and Fade's body flew inside.
Fortunately, the whole mansion was abandoned and thus no one got injured from the flying debris.
Just then, Rio turned his head towards a distant flying object in the sky.
"Two people are approaching us…. Or are they falling?" (Rio)
Liam nodded his head in agreement and said:
"It must be those two third years…. Hmm, what did you say? Falling?" (Liam)
*Baaammm*
Two people fell from the sky out of nowhere and a large amount of debris flew everywhere. A thick dust cloud rose in the air and decreased the visibility.
"Ugh! My leg! As I already told you before! it isn't a good idea to ride a flying sword!" (???)
After the complaining voice of a guy, a feminine voice appeared as if it was replying to the boy.
"Sorry, but that was the fastest way, we couldn't have delayed…" (???)
After a few seconds, the dust finally settled down, and Rio and the others finally saw the appearance of the two-third years that fell from the sky.
Even Link was surprised at this flashy entry.
A knight in full-plated armor and a short boy with a large bow hanging around his shoulder appeared in everyone's view.
