Chapter 250 The Ebonaths

"I say that the experience we experienced was one of the biggest rewards one could hope for but of course, if others are satisfied by just knowing what sort of plants grew 5000 years ago and by bringing those plants here, then by all means, suit yourself."

Vaan spoke as he momentarily glanced at Declan before turning towards Octavius.

Declan obviously knew that the kid was trying to taunt him, offended, he wanted to reply,

"I say that the experience we experienced was one of the biggest rewards one could hope for but of course, if others are satisfied by just knowing what sort of plants grew 5000 years ago and by bringing those plants here, then by all means, suit yourself."

"You..."

However, before he could say anything,

"What did you say?"

Octavius spoke as he glanced at Vaan with a solemn look on his face. Previously, he was acting out because he was forced to stay in this room for 18 whole days, now however, none of that was visible.

It was as if he had magically regained his Headmaster's Aura, no, it was more than that. The look that he had on his face was rarely seen before and it wasn't just him, the other teachers who were at Advanced Levels all had similar expressions on their faces as they glanced at Vaan.

"Humans backed up by Demons?"

Octavius questioned, "Did you see them with your own eyes?"

"That is correct." Vaan nodded.

"But that is not possible." Suddenly, a Professor from the Swords Division spoke up. Unlike most professors from the swords division, he wasn't looking at Vaan with a strange look on his face, after all, unlike others, he couldn't care less about this foolish 'Swords versus Magic' stuff.

In his eyes, Vaan was an excellent student, a prodigy that, in the future, would change this world, he was even glad that he was able to witness the rise of such a prodigy with his own eyes.

Right now, however, he was the first one to void Vaan's claims.

"The Humans who were backed by the Demons do not make a move without a Demon following them because even though they had teamed up with them, in truth, none of the parties trusted each other."

The Professor spoke.

"The humans you saw wouldn't be backed by the Demons, you must have made a mistake in the midst of the situation."

Of course, the Professor wasn't trying to berate Vaan.

"It is not your fault either, you were sent into a place you know nothing about and all your focus is on hiding your presence against beings who could end you with the flick of their fingers, it is understandable that you would make a mistake, don't think too much about it. It was also your first time entering the Ruins, mistakes like these are much more common than you would think."

The Professor spoke with a gentle smile on his face. Vaan however, just tilted his head in confusion,

"When did I say I didn't see a Demon?"

The instant those words left his mouth, it wasn't just the professors, even the students, including, Lirael, Declan, and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.

Vaan just glanced at the others and smiled inwardly,Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"What was it?" Octavius questioned, not even minding the games Vaan was playing in front of so many respectable professors.

"He controlled the Mages' team members' bodies and made them explode."

The instant he said those words, the eyes of the Professors turned grim.

"The Ebonaths..."

Octavius muttered.

"I can't believe you saw an Ebonath in action..."

Other professors nodded at the above statement.

"Wait, how was the Ebonath defeated? The Ebonath Demons can control Human Bodies and make them explode as they wish, how is one supposed to counter that?" Another Professor questioned.

Hearing those words, Vaan frowned as he then shook his head, "I don't think they are that strong, they cannot control everyone's body. There has to be certain criteria, or else it would have used its ability on the Mage who fought and killed it.

Heck, the Demon didn't even come in the Frontlines the entire time. It was the Human Swordsman who was fighting the Mage."

"A Swordsman?" Declan narrowed his eyes. He didn't think a Swordsman would do something as shameless as teaming up with a Demon.

Just how low does one have to fall in order to choose such an option?

'Pathetic Bastard ruining the name of the Swordsman.' Declan snorted inwardly.

"Well, there were Mages on their side as well. It is pointless to blame the weapon of choice. In the end, what is in the Heart is what matters."

Vaan spoke up.

He didn't try to pin this on the Swordsman to get to him because, well, his own father was a Swordsman. It would be hard to counter if Declan mentioned that.

While Vaan and Declan were busy with their little game, Octavius and the other Professors were thinking about a different thing.

"A criteria huh..."

Octavius muttered to himself.

"How was the Demon killed? What spell did the Mage you were talking about use?"

Another Professor questioned as he glanced at Vaan and Vaan couldn't help but recall the image of that terrifying ball of flames that Veronica had created.

He felt goosebumps all over his body as he thought about it, he also didn't forget the huge amount of Faith Energy that was gathered before the spell was cast and...

The God for whom the Faith Energy was gathered...

"The Mage was blessed by the God of Magic, so copying that won't be possible."
