Chapter 366 Arrival At East Haven
Professor Barret looked at the churning sea with a frown.
It had been more than half an hour since Ethan and Henry dove into the sea to start the trial to acquire the Legacy of He Who Slays Giants.
Although he was confident that Ethan would be able to help the Head Prefect of Dud Manor to overcome his trial, he was still not a hundred percent sure that the two teenagers would be able to succeed.
Suddenly, something rose from the surface of the sea, which made Professor Barret sigh in relief.
Ethan was riding a Sea Dragon made up of water, and Henry was lying on its back, unconscious.
Professor Barret could somewhat infer the result of the trial based on the faint smile on Ethan’s face.
If they failed, he would have had a more gloomy expression, which proved that, although Henry was unconscious, he had successfully gained the power of the Legacy.
“Both of you did well,” Professor Barret praised as soon as Ethan’s Sea Dragon landed a few meters beside him. “Thank you, Ethan, for helping Henry.”
“This is the least I could do for everything Sir Henry has done for me,” Ethan replied.
Professor Barret nodded and pointed his wand at Henry.
He then used the spell, Leviticus, to lift the unconscious boy with magic and bring him onto the deck of the flying ship.
Ethan followed behind after dispelling the Sea Dragon, making it return to the sea.
Now that their mission was over, it was time to return to Brynhildr Academy, or so he thought. It seemed that Professor Barret had another plan in mind for them.
“We are going to make a stopover before we return to the academy,” Professor Barret stated. “The Headmaster contacted me a day ago and asked me to visit a friend of ours in Dawnbreaker Academy. It will be half a day’s travel from here. After that, we will stay there for three days to help them with something. Only after that will we return to the academy.”
Professor Barret then flicked his wand, making Henry’s body float in front of him, as he and Ethan headed to the lower deck of the ship.
The Professor then opened the door to Henry’s cabin and then deposited him to the bed so that the latter could rest properly. After that was done, he motioned for Ethan to follow him back to the deck of the ship.
“First things first.” Professor Barret smiled. “As a reward for helping Henry obtain his Legacy, you will be given 30,000 Merit Points.”
Ethan didn’t expect that he would be given such a generous reward for assisting his Head Prefect to complete his trial. Of course, he didn’t reject this boon and accepted it gratefully.
“Now, let’s talk about Dawnbreaker Academy,” Professor Barret said as he waved his hand, raising the sails of the Flying Ship and making it rise toward the sky. “Our friend is in need of help, and since we are conveniently near their location, the Headmaster decided to send us there to lend a hand.
“Don’t worry. He has already talked to your Professors about this matter, and you and Henry will gain an additional 50,000 Merit Points by participating in this mission.”
“50,000 Merit Points to participate in this mission is quite an offer, Professor,” Ethan replied. “Does this mean that the mission this time is just as difficult as obtaining the Legacy of He Who Slays Giants?”
Professor Barret nodded. “Quite perceptive of you, Ethan. But you are right. This mission is indeed not that easy to accomplish. All I know is that this is a Class-S Mission.”
Ethan’s face turned solemn after hearing that they were going to do a Class-S Mission.
Class-S Missions were missions that the academy had deemed to be of the utmost importance, allowing only their best students to participate in its completion.
No student would be able to find this kind of mission in the Mission Hall since only the Headmaster of the Academy could decide and approve the students who would participate in this mission.
In short, S-Class Missions were not chosen voluntarily.
They were assigned to the students by the Headmaster of the Academy.
‘I should have kissed more fairies while I was in the academy,’ Ethan thought. ‘I just hope my two Magic batteries will be enough to complete the mission.’
He had spent quite a bit of magical power when he fought against the Bronze Giant.
Although he could manipulate the seawater at will, Ethan got carried away and unleashed other spells on a whim as he vented out his frustrations on the indestructible Training Dummy.
The Flying Ship soared high in the sky and flew southeast, heading deeper into the sea.
Nine hours later, they arrived at the Streatham Isle, which was one of the largest islands in the Southeast of the Shire Sea.
The size of this island nation was half that of Eastshire, and it was considered to be one of the gateways that led to Middle Earth, which also went by the name, Midgard.
Three hours later, Ethan saw a floating island, which Professor Barret had told them was the Floating Island of South Haven.
“It is said that this island hovers about two thousand meters above sea level,” Professor Barret commented as he turned the flying ship to head straight to the island. “It also houses the one and only Magical Academy on Streatham Island, which is our destination today, Dawnbreaker Academy.”
“Professor, is that a natural floating island?” Ethan inquired. “Also, why are there so many Wyverns here? Are they perhaps the Academy’s Guardians?”
“The floating island is a natural one,” Professor Barret replied before narrowing his gaze at the Wyverns, who were eyeing them with hostility. “If I remember correctly, the Guardian of Dawnbreaker Academy is an Elder Wind Elemental, so these Wyverns are not part of their security measures.
As soon as Professor Barret finished his explanation, he noticed several flying brooms headed in their direction.
“It seems that our escort has arrived,” Professor Barret stated. “They are currently under Martial Law, so whatever you do, don’t do anything that might provoke them. Leave the talking to me.”
Ethan nodded in understanding and stood still beside the Professor as several Wizards and Witches surrounded their flying ship with wands at the ready. All of them were looking at the Wyverns anxiously, ready to attack at the slightest sign of aggression.
Ethan didn’t know if the Class-S Mission revolved around the eradication of the Wyverns who seemed to be only watching them from afar.
“Who are you?” an adult wearing a Purple Wizard Robe asked. “What is your purpose for coming to South Haven?”
“My name is Barret,” Professor Barret replied. “I was sent here by Professor Rinehart of Brynhildr Academy due to the request of your Headmaster, Professor Marlton.”
After hearing Professor Barret’s reply, the Purple-robed Wizard raised his hand, signaling the students to remain on high alert.
“My name is Northon, a Professor of Dawnbreaker Academy,” Professor Northon stated. “We have been expecting you, Professor Barret. Please, come with us as we escort you to the academy.”
Professor Barret nodded and maneuvered the ship to follow Professor Northon towards the floating island of South Haven.
Ethan gave the Wyverns one last glance before looking at the academy which seemed to be in a very precarious situation.
