Chapter 80: True Pride
Translator: John Cui Editor: H2dH2mr
A thousand ideas flashed in Glenn’s mind and he chose the safest and most conservative one—to use the Glenn Dissimilation Sorcery.
Glenn immediately altered part of his Life Code using the Dissimilation Sorcery and the Body of Flame properties were then covered up in his body. This way, he and Mina would not be emotionally attracted anymore.
Like a smaller-sized sun had been set off, Mina was charging towards Glenn in a cloud of fire which was ejecting blazing lights and scorching heat. Her eyes had been turned red and her air was puffed up with the strong magical waves—even though the attraction had disappeared, she was still bent on burning Glenn to ashes.
Confronting such strong magica waves, Chris, Robin and Robinson made immediate response. Chris turned to a wolf, eyes turning green, teeth shown, axe put before his chest. Robin summoned the boar and fished out a fist-sized fiery red bead, the one she got in the trial test. Robinson gulped down a vial of medicine and the next second he was gone, leaving a ball of dark drifting air.
Glenn stared at this mad woman Mina who was with the Body of Flame. She once was the strongest in the trial test and she almost got himself killed.
Glenn’s long, golden hair as well as his cloak were rustling in the heat wave and his eyes stung in the dazzling lights. And due to the heat, his Ashen Mask began to consume his magical force.
In a thumping sound, Glenn’s magical stick fell on the ground. He then said lightly: "Mina, this is not what you’re faced with in the trial. I’m not an escaper any longer. And you..."
"Haha! Are you? Glenn, you’ve finally got the confidence to go against me?"
Mina cut in and laughed with great hubris. "If so..."
"Stop! Mina, you make a step further, I promise you this will be your burying place." Lafite jerked Glenn to her back as it was back in the ship.
All of the attention was focused on the golden key Lafite was holding high. It was emitting strong space waves and the lights and heat were even began to eclipse Mina’s.
"The Stigmata Friendship Key." Yates exclaimed shrilled in his husky voice as she stared at Lafite.
Ardas had no idea what ability this key could perform but he was still amazed at the magical waves.
Mina was not in the knowledge of this friendship key. Even though it was giving out shocking waves she and her eler sister behind her were too confident to care for such a tool. She was being a little bit unreasonable, or silly to be precise.
Mina stretched out her hand slowly and had gotten ready to have a big fight with Lafite’s team.
"Mina, enough. Stop it." In a flash, Milly had moved in front of Mina and clutched her in her hand.
Mina went shocked and then grimaced. "What’re you doing? I’m killing him."
Milly slit her eyes and said, emphasizing every word. "I’m not allowing you to misbehave."
"Get yourself out of this. I’m killing this guy today." Mina yelled.
"You haven’t got the rare sign from your tutor, the Indistinguishable Flame, and you’re just half way through with the study of your father’s element Ougi. Even your mental strength is not at 40! You want me to teach you the rule of the sorcerer world?" Milly voice turned grimly.
A long time st
ifling silence ensued.
"Good. I’ll go." Mina shouted as she throwing off her sister’s hand and left, showing no interest in this ore range any more despite the fact that she was still with a mission. She was as headstrong as a spoiled child.
Milly’s face looked similar to Mina’s. Her specialty was that she wore long, silver hair and had the standard 12th section students cloak. Interestingly enough, in the center of her forehead, there was a lozenge energy body which seemed to be sequestering huge formidable force inside.
"Pack it up. The space waves will be used up in at best two more times. You wanna waste it on this?" Mimmy gazed at Lafite seriously but she seemed not threatened as if she had her trump card unplayed.
Lafite sneered. "In the trial test, people were saying Mina was a mad woman. Now it seems she lives up to it." Lafite teased Milly as she put the key away.
"It’s none of your business." Milly flashed a glare at Lafite grimly.
The two women were not happy with each other yet they retrained themselves to not to start a conflict.
Milly then whipped her hair as she turned to face Glenn and then said to him with a stifled interest. "My sister’s feeling was right, It was the aura of Body of Flame. No wonder she would got crabby. You’re somebody to earn her attention! But would you mind telling me what was the "sorcery" you just pulled out?
Milly was not sure to conceal the Body of Flame was Glenn’s sorcery or his pure gift.
Glenn eyed this white hair woman calmly. She was the one that many thousands of students in the six schools of the 12th section worshipped. This woman’s firm expression was saying that she would not give up until he gave her the answer.
Thus, Glenn finally opened his mouth. "The Glenn Secret Tri-Sorcery."
"You..." Milly paused. "You called a sorcery after your own name?"
Actually, Lafite and other team members were also kept in the dark about this. Knowledge exchange would be conducted at the cost of magical stones, not to mention sorceries, which would only be passed on to their own students by the tutors.
Therefore Glenn’s team were all surprised learning the news.
A student created a new sorcery?
This was an unbelievable thing that had never occurred in at least in the 12th section. They would usually take in the established sorceries created by the ancient, witty sorcerers. No one would exert efforts to delve into the making of a new sorcery.
Yates and Ardas stared at Glenn, the guy who had been in the obscurity ever since he stepped into this place.
"What level he would be at given his capability?"
In retrospect, no one had ever been Glenn being in a fight. He always kept a low profile and saved every minute to conduct his research. He was a supporting role along the way, a wanderer, an autism sufferer. And even Ardas was putting much thought into why a mundane Glenn would be on the hunting list.
But now...
No matter how hard one might want to conceal his radiance, he would shine. It was like a gem in the mud that would always be extricated someday.
Yet it still baffled Yates and Ardas why Glenn was not willing to present himself to gain according fame and respect given his strong capabilities but would rather stay quiet. Creating a new sorcery represented wisdom and knowledge, by which power would be obtained.
Glenn was standing there, still being quite. He still had no intention to show off or something. It seemed he didn’t give a thing to what people called "status".
Yes, Glenn needed not to be understood, or cared to be understood.
His heart was there for the pursuit of his dream. He lived each day to the fullest with his aspiration. Aloneness was a cost. Reputation was minute. Hardships were expected. Tiredness was a must—Adversities were the feed to one’s spirits and tiredness made one feel the existence of one’s body.
This was the fundamentals for a student to explore the future and make history, to become the most glorious, most powerful sorcerer. This was Glenn’s pride.
Sorcerers with a strong heart needed not to be understood, or cared to be understood.
What Glenn had been aspiring to achieve was that Holy Tower tryouts. To win and he would get the highest glory and accordingly the highest prize. This glory would be conferred on an equal footing—not considering the level of a student would be at. It would be an occasion where true quality would be realized.
And this the biggest secret Norris had divulged to Glenn, a secret that would be kept from most of the students.
