"You want me to do what?" Inside a wide spacious study room, a red haired man looked unbelievably at the shaggy man standing before him, not sure whether he heard the man right.
"Headmaster, I want you to give permission to Princess Qamari to seek for restorative herbs for Rong Li's recovery." Red-faced, the elder embarrassedly repeated his request.
It couldn't be helped. With the way his disciple was at the moment, he had no choice but to act shameless and fight for even the slightest chance of his recovery.
"Kula Moor, have you forgotten that Princess Qamari is not only the Medicine Director's apprentice, but my personal disciple, as well? Do you know what you're saying? You are telling me to send my personal disciple out of the academy, when she hasn't even reached level two!"
Great Magician Iiam was irritated. He could not believe that an elder of the academy was requesting his own personal disciple to forge medicinal herbs for his disciple.
Is it because she in the Medicine Hall more often then the Main hall that others no longer remember who's disciple she is?
Indeed, it was just as Great Magician Iiam thought.
Because Princess Qamari spent more and more time in the Medicine Hall, rather then the Main Hall of the academy meant for the Great Magician's personal disciples, most of the elders and students of the Sealand Academy had gradually began to associate her with the Medicine Director.
It was the same for Kula Moor.
The moment the Great Magician's words entered his ears, he felt like he was strike by lighting on a clear day. Shocked and frozen in astonishment, the shaggy elder dazedly stared at the Great Magician.
"Per...personal apprentice?" He stammered in disbelief.
"Yes, personal apprentice. So, you had better let go of any illusional thoughts."
"But, but she is the only one that can procure the herbs necessary for Li'er's recovery! Surely, with the protection of all magicians, it wouldn't be so bad?"
Barely above a whisper, his original forceful attitude took a drastic shift, sounding weak and desperate.
"Yes? And she is my only promising personal disciple that has the greatest chance of being the Marikeen." Great Magician Iiam replied resolutely.
He wasn't going to take any chance with the matter of the Marikeen. Because this, concerned the survival of magic in the entire Iris realm.
Kula Moor, as an elder of the academy, also knew the importance of the Marikeen to the realm. Not only that, but with the Great Magician having her back, he could only dream about getting Princess Qamari out of the academy in search of the needed herbs.
With only his elder status, he did not have the ability nor possess the qualification to request the Great Magician's personal disciple to seek medicine for his disciple.
Seeing his last spark of hope vanishing before his very eyes, Kula Moor felt his surroundings spin. Before he knew it, his body thumped loudly on the floor. The last thing he saw before his world turned dark, was the Great Magician's feet anxiously rushing towards him.
"Elder Kula! Elder Kula! Anyone out there? Immediately get Medicine Director Wen here!"
Chaos ensued, as elders and apprentices rushed back and forth between the First Divisions Medicine Hall and the Main Hall, dragging along a confused elder Wen with them.
"Hurry, Elder Wen!"
"You are dragging me without telling me what's going on. But you still expect me to react with the same urgency as you?" The disgruntled female retorted in displeasure.
She was not happy at being treated with so little respect and politeness. Upset, but finding nowhere to vent her frustration, she coldly snorted as she followed behind the leading elder.
A half hour later.
The whole academy was boiling with the fainting incident of Elder Kula. Apprentices stood in groups as they either discussed excitedly or pitifully about the elder's sudden fall in health, attributing it to Rong Li's situation.
In the Second Division of the second years, Teng Wang quietly stood in a corner as he reheard the fainting incident of the elder for the tenth time.
"I heard Elder Kula was forcefully requesting Great Magician Iiam to send the genius light magic wielder medical student outside of the academy. He wanted her to search for Rong Li restorative herbs to aid in the recovery of his elemental level."
"Seriously? What happened, then? Did the Headmaster agree?"
"Of course not! Why else do you think Elder Kula fainted? Not only is that light magic wielder the Medicine Director's favorite apprentice, but she is also the Great Magician's personal disciple. Do you think the Great Magician will place his own disciple in danger just to aid another elder's disciple?"
"My goodness! Then, does this mean that brother Rong has no chance of ever recovering again?"
"Of course he will recover!" After hearing so many versions of the tale, Teng Wang, who was no longer able to remain silent, suddenly burst out in anger.
The hall instantly fell silent as all the apprentices looked at him with unreadable expressions.
"No one is allowed to say any discouraging remarks about Rong Li again, understand?" Fuming, he turned and walked out the building.
"Hmph! He is just acting like that because Rong Li got injured because of him."
"If it wasn't for him, Rong Li wouldn't be in this current condition."
"Because of him, we will face disgrace in the seven academies competition this year again."
"This is truly disappointing! It is all because of Teng Wang that Rong Li won't be able to participate in the seven academies competition. Why isn't he the crippled one?"
The snide remarks followed behind and entered his ears, fueling the festering guilt inside his heart.
As angry as he felt by their words, Teng Wang also knew that if it wasn't because of him, Rong Li wouldn't be in such an alarming situation. Many people's hope and expectations were placed on him.
"So why did you recklessly butt in? Why?"
Compared to himself, he felt Rong Li had greater significance and more value to the Sealand Academy's future development.
As such, the guilt of being the one responsible for his current condition ate at his insides and filled him with self-blame and self-hate.
'If only it wasn't because of him, then Rong Li...'
Gasping painfully, he held his chest and moved in a daze. By the time he returned to his senses, he realized that he was standing outside of the First Division's palace.
The last time he was here was 6 months ago. He and Rong Li, along with several second years, had led the newly admitted apprentices to their first lesson course room.
At that time, he never imaged that he would return in such a way.
Thinking of the girl he fell at first sight and recalling the conversation of his fellow brothers, he could not help but despondently laugh at the unexpected twists of fate.
Breathing roughly, Teng Wang calmed his racing heart and focused on the reason for his appearance. With another deep exhale, he entered the building.
Princess Qamari, who sat in the work cabin of her Master, recalled elder Kula's overbearing attitude. Although she always seemed indifferent and cold on the outside, her heart was not made out of stone. She felt offended and upset when someone tried to take undue advantage of her.
But she also tried her best to place herself in other's shoe.
Princess Qamari didn't like the elder's attitude. However, she also didn't hold any grudge against him. This experience did, however, make her aware of the flaw in being part of an academy.
As a student of the Sealand Academy, any elder had the right to push her into doing something by using her status as a student of the academy over her head. If the school desired something, as an apprentice of the academy, they could use that relationship to coerce her into obeying their bidding.
"One day, such a situation might truly occur. Before that happens, I need to completely cut off any ties and association I have with the Sealand Academy. I have to hasten my speed in mastering my magical ability and leave. If I stay here any longer, I might never be able to leave in the future."
There were alarm bells ringing in her head, desperately urging her to make plans. Urging her to find a way to leave the academy, and that too, for good.
"Sister Qamari, there is a handsome boy looking for you outside!" Lu Yei unrefinedly barged into the messy work cabin.
She was so excited by the handsome guy that came to find Princess Qamari that she didn't even apologize for her rude behavior. Dashing to her side, she pulled on the princess's arm without permission, drawing her out the door.
Princess Qamari frowned. She felt repulsed when others touched her. Even though the one touching her was Lu Yei, she didn't feel any better. Pushing the urge to shove her out of her mind, Princess Qamari slowly withdrew her hand to her side, and rubbed on her sleeves.
This was another reason why she had to leave. Even though she had been in the academy for nearly seven months now, she didn't feel the slightest shred of emotion for the place or the people here.
"Sister Qamari, do you have any relationship with the handsome guy? If not, how about you introduce us? What do you think?"
"Hmph...." Replying nonchalantly, she began to think of how she was going to leave from the academy.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
