Valerian, The Legendary

213 Confrontation.

Valerian raised his head to the east and found a ball of flame headed straight towards them at a high speed. He said, “Dive.”

Linea followed the order and dived with his nose down. Valerian had his sight locked on the flame ball. The ball of flames vanished a few moments later, and they spotted a vermillion silhouette in the sky not far behind the flame ball.

It was a flying magic beast and this guy was double the size of Linea. Valerian channeled his mana inside his eyes and the enhanced vision showed him what it was. The prince raised his brows and said, “Flame Lion King.”

The beast was not a bird, it was a lion. To be exact this beast was a king beast, stronger than any other beast in his Pride, and was the leader. Valerian did not wish to have any conflicts with the other party and thus he asked Linea to dive.

He could see that on the back of this beast sat a figure, however, he did not pay much attention and kept diving in the direction of the academy. Priscilla asked, “Why did you not fight back, Your Highness.”

Valerian said, “Never attack someone before finding out what and who they are. Wait for the right time to strike and make sure that the snake is not rattled but dead.”

Priscilla nodded as she was once again reminded of how scary is this young man in front of her.

...

Valerian could tell from the trajectory of the beast that passed him, this guy was also heading for the academy, seems like enemies were meant to cross paths with each other. He calmed down and soon they arrived at the academy. Priscilla had graduated from the academy with Azula, so this time she was here as the maid of Valerian.

.....

The academy allowed for the students to bring their maids and butlers inside on special permissions otherwise they have to admit the staff as a formal student. This was the academy and not a royal palace, where the people could just walk in and out as they wished.

Valerian landed in front of the academy gates and after passing his identity token he walked in with Priscilla. The two headed to the building outside the campus area, where Priscilla was given a special identity token, after the prince submitted a letter mentioning that he is unwell and need the maid to look after him. The letter was not doubted as it carried a mana seal of a Medicus.

Valerian and Priscilla headed to the Battlemage tower, he did not need the old man to be present for his research. His speed was not slow, and the few people who saw him whispered. The news that he was the one who took out thousand soldiers on his own has spread. While some of the people cast him a gaze filled with aww, the Valkyrian students gazed at him with hatred.

They could not wait to get their hands on him and tear him apart. Valerian came to the Battle mage tower and found a man standing in front of the doors. This person was the same guy who was riding the Flame Lion King.

Valerian did not pay any attention and came to the door of the tower. He pushed the door open and let Priscilla enter first, and then just as he was about to follow inside, the man said, “So, you are the silver ghost who killed thousand of my brethren. You do not look like much?”

Valerian turned his head to cast him a gaze and after a sigh and shaking his head he walked inside the door closing the door behind him. He did not wish to pay any attention to this guy. At least not at the moment, the person was a grandmaster of Valkyria as he was dressed in beast pelt.

Seeing that this guy did not pay him much attention the Grandmaster arched his brow and then said, “Sure enough, bastards are all cowards.”

The tiny gap of the door was enough to let the sound in and Valerian was not deaf. He heard the words clearly. He stopped closing the door and looked at Priscilla as he said, “Stay inside.”

Then he opened the door and walked outside to face the man. He looked at the valiant looking man in front of him and asked nonchalantly, “Before you call me a bastard, do you know who is your father? Or are you a mixed seed from the savage practices of your kin? Hmmmm, guessing from your projected intelligence, you seem like an inbred. Are you?”

The man was shocked and then his shock turned into anger, however, he did not react. The place was an academy, filled with countless of grandmasters and arch mages. They will not spare him for disrupting the order and the reputation of this place. The teachers of this academy were all the people who had voluntarily withdrew from the secular world and began to teach the children here whole heartedly.

The man took a deep breath but his eyes had already turned red from rage. He calmed himself down and said, “You have sharp teeth. Dare to fight me?”

Valerian sighed and said, “I have a sharp blade as well, shall I narrate the deaths of your people? How they cowered in fear and ran for their lives? Why don’t I dare to fight you, a grandmaster coming at my door step to offer his head on a platter.”

The Valkyrian clenched his fists, they had never been used to taunts, and their aggressive nature gave them all a violent temper. Valerian walked ahead and said, “Their is only one place where the battle can be held, do you want to fight to death with me or just a brutal beating will satisfy you? Also, care to tell me what your name is?”

The man snorted and said, “I will tell you when I am about to behead you. Do not worry, you will be fully aware of everything that I will do to you.”

Valerian smiled and said, “Fine, do as you may wish.”

That said, the boy led the man to the death battle platform. He was not scared and wanted to make an example of this guy, that a Battle Mage could make a grandmaster regret being angry easily.
