Chapter 18: The Arrival of a peerless genius, the prayer bell rang ten times in a row!

At this moment, not only the surrounding students but even the surrounding teachers were shocked by John’s unrivaled talent!

The students’ eyes were filled with anger, jealousy, and envy, but they felt the most realistic thing in their hearts.

That was the gap between John and those self-proclaimed geniuses!

At the age of 17 to 18, John had the strength of a Gaia Knight. Not only that, his psychic energy had reached an unprecedented level!

Even those nobles who had a lot of resources since they were young felt itchy in their hearts at the sight of this scene.

In their eyes, John must be a noble of some other country who had consumed a heaven-defying medicament which could enhance his strength since he was young!

When commoners saw this scene, they were completely envious.

In the eyes of the commoners, they did not expect to obtain a high status at all. As long as they had talent, they would be the people they yearned for.

Even some of the aristocrats of the royal family, the direct descendants of the Earl and the Prince, looked at John with eyes filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

They were nobles of the Royal Family!

In their own country, there was such a big difference between them and a person they had never seen or heard of!

Amy looked at John with joy in her eyes.

She was happy for her master, or rather, her hero, from the bottom of her heart.

Then, the people behind started to whisper to each other.

Especially Old Greensford. He whispered a few words to his servants, and then the two servants ran in different directions.

After about two minutes.

Dang! Dang!

Suddenly, a crisp bell sound came from within the academy. The penetrating power of this bell was so strong that even the students and teachers in the academy could hear it clearly.

When they heard the bell chime, their faces showed a look of disbelief.

Because…

It was actually the sound of the Blessing Bell!

The others might not know, but those royal nobles and the tutors of the Mage Academy were all very familiar with the origin of the Blessing Bell!

The Blessing Bell was the bell used to welcome the birth of genius students in the Gusteco Mage Academy!

After all, other than the Princess of the City-state of Gusteco two years ago, the Blessing Bell had not rung more than three times in 30 years!

That was because only when one’s psychic energy reached the level of a mage would the blessing bell be rung three times.

For a moment, everyone could not help but listen attentively.

However, what was going on with this bell?

Why did it show no signs of stopping?

The Blessing Bell rang for the fourth time, followed by the fifth!

The five chimes signified the birth of a century-old genius.

However, the bell didn’t stop ringing because of this!

Six, seven…

The Blessing Bell rang a total of ten times!

Just how great of an honor was ten chimes!

To individuals, it was an honor, but to the academy, it was even more of an honor!

At the same time, the surrounding teachers could no longer hold back their emotions and began to talk to each other.

“This… could it be that he really an expert in magic and combat skill? And he even possesses the psychic energy of an intermediate mage?”

“As far as I know, every mage who possesses powerful psychic energy has to bear a large amount of burden on their body before they can become a Grand Mage. Only after becoming a Grand Mage will they be able to gradually adapt. Could it be that he has already reached the level of a Grand Mage?”

“Didn’t you hear what Old Greensford said just now? This student didn’t learn any human magic! How did he reach the level of a Grand Mage?”

“I have a terrifying thought. Could it be that this John has been practicing martial arts since he was young? He might not even know that he has such powerful talent for magic!”

A tall and muscular middle-aged man stood out at this moment.

It was hard to imagine that with such a tall and muscular middle-aged man, his magic attainments had already reached the intermediate stage of the Grand Mage!

And he was one of the most famous mage in the Mage Academy. His strength was second only to the Principal of the Mage Academy’s, a battle mage– Kurt!

As a battle mage, he was well aware of the difficulty of excelling in magic and combat skill. Back then, he had been training his physical qualities since young, and only later did he realize that he also had attainments in magic.

But compared to this unrivaled genius before him, even he could not compare.

To put it bluntly, the people who used the Blessing Bell ten times, besides unrivaled geniuses.

They could not think of any words to describe this youth before them.

He had the talent of a mage, but he had walked the path of a knight since young. If his parents knew about his talent, they would definitely be proud of it, right?

No, even the Principal would be like what Old Greensford had said; he would be proud of this young man!

In the Principal’s office.

As the Principal of the Mage Academy, Principal Kurkas also heard the leisurely ringing of the bell outside.

Just as he was about to go out and investigate, a magic apprentice walked into his office.

It was the magic servant of Old Greensford. Seeing this, Principal Kurkas just waved his hand and said:

“We’ll talk about it later. What’s going on with these ten rings from the Blessing Bell?!”

As the Principal of the Mage Academy, Kurkas naturally did not take the tester of Old Greensford seriously.

After all, he was very clear about the recruitment of students in the Mage Academy. How could it be a student from Greensford?

It was already very good that his test student could meet the requirements of the Mage Academy!

Could there still be a monster who could knock the Blessing Bell ten times in a row?

But after hearing the other party’s words, Kurkas stopped in his tracks.

“Principal! During the student’s test, a student whose psychic energy has reached the intermediate level of a mage and whose Magic Perception is also at the highest level appeared, and…”

“And what? Tell me quickly!”

Kurkas was stunned at first, then hurriedly asked the other party.

If there really was such a talented student, he would absolutely not allow any mistakes to be made. Otherwise, this student’s future would be ruined.

That would be a huge loss for the Gusteco Mage Academy!

“Moreover… that student also has a physical quality that is not inferior to that of a beginner Gaia Knight!”

Boom!

When Kurkas heard this, his slightly pale pupils instantly contracted and even wetted his eyes.

It should be known that he was the only late-stage Divine Mage in the City-state of Gusteco.

When he was tested, he was only at the beginner mage level with superior Magic Perception.

Even with that talent, he became a pillar of the City-state of Gusteco, and in his nearly 30 years as the Principal of the Academy of Magic.

Kurkas had never met a student who could take his place and share his burden!

Back then, when he was suppressing the Giant Dragon, he even used his life as a sacrifice to activate a forbidden spell, suppressing the Two-headed Giant Dragon alone.

That was how he managed to keep Gusteco from being severely damaged.

Now, there was actually a person who had psychic energy and Magic Perception that surpassed his own when he was young!

He was even an expert in magic and combat skills!

Kurkas’ previous worry was that he knew that he would not live for many years. Under the current circumstances, he urgently needed a student who could inherit his position and protect Gusteco!

But today, these worries were all dispelled by the sound of the Blessing Bell!

“Quick! Let that genius, oh no! The prodigy quickly come to my office!”

“Also! Call all the magic tutors over. We need to discuss the future of this prodigy!”

After answering, Greensford’s servant left the office.

But Kurkas covered his eyes with his hands.

After so many years of burden, there was finally someone who could share it with him!

The City-state of Gusteco was saved!
