Chapter 69: The Protagonist Begins His Divine Hiding

  Thanks for "zjj19960406"'s reward!

  Today seems to be this book's full moon festival poi, so today there will be a dignified update poi!

  The night is cool as water, and all sounds are hushed.

  A head of silver long hair, Gravitas Shirogane stood outside the tent, lifting her head to quietly gaze at the bright moon in the sky.

  "Dean."

  Behind her back, Freya Grandol had a few doubts in her eyes.

  "Do you really intend to take in that person with an unknown background?"

  Greville turned his head and glanced at Freya, his vermilion lips slightly opening, with a few parts of hoarseness in his voice filled with a different charm.

  "Freyja, don't you think he's a very interesting person?"

  "Although there was a clear contract spirit seal on his hand, he couldn't feel any presence of the spirit at all."

  "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

  "But..."

  Freyja seemed to want to say something more, but in the end she just sighed.

  Freya, who had been with Grayvas for some time, was well aware of the personality of this "Dusk Witch" known as the strongest spirit user on the continent.

  What she has decided, no one can change.

  However, Grevais's body was no longer what it used to be.

  Because his body had been subjected to the curse of the seal, and having participated in the "Second Blue Ball War" many years ago, over the years, his body had accumulated countless internal injuries, and Grevas's strength was greatly declining.

  At that time, the assassin from the Instructor's Division was defeated by Grevas with overwhelming advantage, but Freya knew that Grevas had already used his full strength.

  And now, the principal of his respected academy is planning to take in a mysterious spirit messenger.

  What if this person has ulterior motives?

  It seems that Greyvas noticed Freya's concern, and he waved his hand saying: "Alright Freya, don't worry too much. That spirit user doesn't even have any divine energy in him, does he?"

  "A spirit with little divine energy, what are you worried about?"

  Seeing that Grevilas had made up his mind, Freya could only secretly decide to increase her surveillance of the still unconscious Spirit Master.

  "Speaking of which, Dean, isn't the winner of this year's Spirit Sword Dance Festival, Ren Ashbell, your student?"

  Freyja knew that the so-called strongest sword dancer, Lin Aschberl, had once been a maid in the Grayvas household. It was during that time that Grayvas taught her his "Absolute Sword" technique, which is how Lin Aschberl became who she is today.

  It's just that Freya didn't know that the so-called maid was actually a boy.

  When Freyja mentioned Lin Asuberu, a faint, inexplicable smile flickered in Greivas's eyes.

  This time I came to watch the Spirit Sword Dance Festival because Ren Ashbell will participate.

  The Sword Dance Festival has ended, and I should also return to Elyria Spirit Academy.

  It was just unexpected that on the way back to Imperial College, I would encounter a strange girl who fainted by the roadside.

  Gracia couldn't sense any divine energy from the girl at all, but this girl was actually a spirit master, and there was clearly a contract seal on the back of her right hand.

  Judging from the seal, this girl's contract spirit should be a water attribute spirit.

  And is the highest-ranking spirit.

  Things seem to be getting more interesting.

  Mei actually woke up long ago.

  It was just at the moment of waking up that a vast and complicated stream of information burst into his mind.

  Enduring a headache, Akane carefully read through the information that had been forcibly implanted in her brain.

  I became a kind of person called Spirit Master, and Yakumo Suke became my contract spirit.

  That's the information revealed by that flow of information.

  Some common sense about contract spirits is also included.

  Spirits are beings that exist in the world of "Elemental Spirit Realm" associated with the mortal world. When encountering items of the same attribute, they can produce attribute resonance.

  In addition, the highest-ranking spirits are generally depicted in human form.

  After thoroughly digesting this information flow, Akane finally opened her eyes.

  This is a certain account tent.

  "Ink... Sealed Clothes..."

  Murmuring the names of Yakumo Moku and Ketsui, Akane first lifted her right hand to examine the spirit contract seal on the back of it.

  I can feel a mysterious connection between myself and Yakumo Sukehiro.

  But this connection seems to have become somewhat intermittent due to the excessive distance.

  What made Akane puzzled was that, according to the information provided by that info stream, only a pure and innocent girl had the qualification to become a spirit messenger, but she herself was already married.

  Is a married woman still considered an innocent and pure maiden?

  Akane thought for half a day but couldn't come up with any reason, so she gave up thinking.

  Akane lifted the flap of the tent and walked outside.

  A beautifully decorated carriage was parked around, and two more tents were set up beside it.

  The tents were all set up on a vacant lot next to an earthen road, with dense forests on both sides of the road.

  "Oh? You're awake?"

  A hoarse female voice suddenly rang out.

  Mei Ming was startled and turned around to see two women walking towards her.

  A man wearing glasses was filled with the charm of a familiar (goddess) woman, and behind him followed a slightly younger woman.

  It's Grayvas and Freya.

  Mei's gaze lingered on his opponent's impressive chest for a moment.

  A wave of inferiority suddenly swept over his mind.

  Although Akane is not a rare resource, she can't compare to this "biological weapon" in front of her...

  "Hehe..."

  Noticing Akane's gaze, Grevilas' heart suddenly felt lighter.

  "Excuse me, who are you?"

  "My name is Grevioux Sheryl Mace, this is Freya Grandeto."

  "Hello, I'm Yakumo Kokoro."

  After introducing each other, Akane asked immediately: "Excuse me, why am I here?"

  Grevath said: "We found you collapsed on the side of the road on our way back to the Odysseia Empire, so..."

  Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Akane also understood the current situation.

  After crossing over with Yagumo Ink and Kusane, they got separated.

  A sudden feeling of panic and helplessness arose in her heart.

  Known as the Twilight Witch, Grevil's grasp of human hearts was naturally extraordinary, and he guessed her current state of mind from Akane's slightly changing facial expression.

  "Can you tell me why you fainted by the side of the road?"

  Tomorrow Nai hesitated for a moment, she was uncertain whether the two people in front of her were good or not.

  "Don't worry, if we wanted to harm you, there would have been plenty of opportunities while you were unconscious."

  Grevais offered words of comfort.

  "I'm sorry." Akane also knew she was overthinking things, "I... got separated from my contract spirit, and I don't even know why I fainted there."

  Mei said nothing but the truth.

  She really didn't know why she fainted. According to that mysterious stream of information, Yakumo Suke also became her contract spirit.

  Greviwas hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked: "I see that there's almost no divine energy in your body. A girl like you being alone in the wilderness is too dangerous. If you're willing, why not follow me for now?"

  "Let me introduce myself formally, I am the principal of Elyria Academy of Elves in the Odysseia Empire."

  Greviass believed this title was enough to convince the girl in front of him.

  In the mortal world, Elyria Spirit Academy was too famous.

  The college became so famous that no one dared to impersonate its president.

  Unfortunately, what Grevil didn't count on was that Akane had no idea what this identity meant.

  She accepted Grevais' invitation on a whim.
