Chapter 376 The Surprise Waiting At Brynhildr Academy [Part 1]
“Now that you’ve got your egg back, isn’t it about time you apologized to Dawnbreaker Academy?” Professor Barret asked.
“And why should I apologize to Humans?” Eizenth retorted. “The fact remains that it was Humans who stole my child despite the fact that we never had conflicts with them.”
“You’re a very stubborn one, huh?”
“I have my pride as an Elder Dragon.”
“Then, how about you lift the Draconic Spell on their teleportation gate?”
“That can be arranged.”
Eizenth accompanied Professor Barret’s group back to Dawnbreaker Academy.
At first, the Headmaster and the Professors thought that the Elder Dragon had changed her mind and planned to finally destroy their academy.
The Wyverns, who were asked to ensure that no one would be able to leave, also thought that their Master was finally getting serious.
But, after seeing the people who had beaten the crap out of them earlier, the Wyverns remained in place, not even daring to approach the Elder Dragon whom they served.
When Eizenth was a few hundred meters away from Dawnbreaker Academy, she lifted the Draconis Spell that prohibited anyone from leaving through the Teleportation Gate.
Once she was done, she ordered the Wyverns to return to their own Domains and told them to no longer antagonize the Humans.
After that, she flew toward the Haliburn Mountain to focus on hatching her egg. This time, she would never leave it again until it hatched, guarding it with her life.
After seeing that the Dragon had retrieved her egg, the Professors and the students of the academy cheered and welcomed the three heroes who landed in the plaza of their academy.
“I don’t know how you did it, but thank you!” Professor Marlton said.
“Yeah. You owe us big time,” Professor Barret replied. “But we were a bit too late. Professor Onar was already dead when we arrived at his location.”
The Ex-Magistratus explained everything that happened and pointed at Kelric, who was currently bound by his chains.
The Headmaster and the Professors who heard this feel saddened about the loss of one of their outstanding Professors.
They all then glared at Kelric, whose face had become pale due to the gazes of over a dozen Professors who wished him dead.
“I will leave his punishment in your hands, but I will interrogate him first,” Professor Barret stated. “Do you have a spare room that I can use?”
“Of course,” Professor Marlton replied in a heartbeat. “You can interrogate him in my office. I don’t mind.”
Professor Barret nodded and dragged Kelric with him.
Ethan and Henry glanced at each other before following the Professor. They wanted to know how he interrogated criminals.
Also, they wanted to know how Kelric managed to gain his knowledge about Human Sacrifices.
Professor Barret’s interrogation wasn’t really an interrogation. Rather, it was torture.
He knew how to loosen people’s lips, and that was by using pain to make them feel fear.
Before he asked any questions, he cast a spell at Kelric, making him scream for two full minutes before coming to a complete stop.
Professor Barret had no mercy toward criminals who treated the lives of others as if they were disposable tools.
Since he wasn’t dealing with a Human but a Monster wearing a human’s face, he decided to treat Kelric as a Monster instead of a Human.
After the first two minutes of pain ended, Kelric answered all of Professor Barret’s questions honestly.
As someone who unreasonably feared death, he also had a very low tolerance for pain. It didn’t take much effort to break him and make him spill the beans about everything he knew.
“The Magical Scroll is in my storage ring,” Kelric said in a pleading tone. “Take it and see it for yourself.”
Ethan stepped forward and pried off the storage ring from Kelric’s finger. He then dumped its contents on the table, revealing several scrolls, gold coins, potions, as well as notes about his studies.
Professor Barret gave these things a quick glance before shifting his attention back to Kelric and asking him more questions.
While this was happening, Ethan’s Other Half spoke from inside his head.
‘Hold the Magic Scroll for a few seconds,’ Ethan’s Other Half stated. “I will read its contents. We might put it to good use later.’
Ethan did as he was told and held the Magic Scroll in his hands. In the beginning, he didn’t trust his Other Half much because he felt that the latter was keeping a lot of secrets from him.
However, he came to understand that the latter truly had no intention of taking over his body unless it was a last resort.
Because of this, he decided to trust him.
The power of Necromancy was good, but his Other Half told him not to practice it entirely.
Necromancers tended to grow cold and numb to everything around them because they were always surrounded by the dead.
Ethan’s Other Half didn’t want him to experience that, so he only allowed Ethan to revive small creatures but not Humans, limiting his powers over Necromancy.
Ethan was fine with that because he didn’t want to raise an Undead Army to harm people.
He would only revive small creatures to scout or act as spies for him. That was more than enough since he had no desire to command an entire army to fight for him, unlike the Necromancer he fought in the Lands of Alastor.
Henry and Professor Barret were curious when Ethan held the Magic Scroll and unrolled it.
However, they didn’t make any move to stop him.
Ethan’s Other Half immediately copied the content of the Magic Scroll, and this only lasted for a few seconds.
Once he was done, he asked Ethan to return the scroll back to the pile on the table so that Professor Barret and Henry would not get too suspicious of him.
Opening the scroll out of curiosity for a few seconds was fine. It was not enough for someone to completely study it, so they turned a blind eye to the young man’s actions.
‘This is some interesting stuff,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘It will take me an entire day to digest everything. I’ll tell you all about it after I figure out how it works.’
Ethan acknowledged his Other Half’s words internally before shifting his gaze back to Kelric, who was now covered in blood, snot, and tears.
