Chapter 121
*Shu! Shu!*
Two figures passed through the land tainted with black, arriving at a new, unfamiliar forest of obelisks . They dropped down on the flat top of a stone pillar at the fringes of the forest .
A moment after Claytia closed her eyes and got a slight response, she looked towards Glenn . "There aren't any responses in the vicinity for any students with points 300 or more . We should head deeper to search them out . "
"Fine . "
After Glenn responded with a single word from behind his mask, he took Claytia and headed toward the center of this obelisk forest before them . Glenn was currently carrying a gigantic ax on his back which was equivalent to a top-notch magic-channeling tool for a student . Even if Glenn found using it awkward, he could only temporarily put up with it .
After randomly catching sight of a few students and confirming they were in the domain of 13th District students, Glenn frowned . "Having flown such a long time and there still isn't any response of students with some more accumulated points?"
Claytia shook her head, her complexion unsightly .
Internally somewhat flabbergasted, Glenn simply flew toward several sorcerer-apprentices with points under 100 in the distance . The other side all maintained a state of alertness . A female student was one of the few with a chain mark value exceeding 50 . She was somewhat dark-skinned, wore a beautiful garland atop her head, and was leaning on an old, wooden magical staff .
"It's someone powerful from outside the district again!"
When this female student caught sight of Claytia's chain mark upon her forehead, she cried out in fear . One of her hands tightly gripped her badge while the other the magic staff . Only her hands somewhat shook, seemingly recalling some dreadful event .
Glenn waved his hand while maintaining distance from them . After doing his best to show that he was not hostile, he then asked, "Who are the powerful students in your district?"
Hearing Glenn speak this way, the several 13th District students slightly relaxed . The female student who was cautiously watching Glenn bitterly replied, "Which and what powerful students? Originally, after the first day the Secret Mirror opened, the district's strongest students had already come together . They separated into two factions to launch a decisive battle according to a previous agreement so they could settle grudges accumulated over the years . But…"
Speaking up to here, the female student seemed to recall some dreadful matter and shuddered . "But barely into the second day of the Mirror, a 15th District student arrived, joining the previously deadlocked battle and eliminated all the students in one fell swoop . Besides the Sorcerer-Apprentices who were conferred as the strongest nine, many students all didn't even have the time to break their badges before they were already reduced to bloody mists…"
The nine strongest students?
In no way would there be nine legendary students . It looked like this district must not have produced a legendary student in a hundred years . Moreover, their overall strength was weaker than average and extremely inferior to the 12th District .
Claytia was aghast . "Honorable Glenn, this 15th District student—is he the one you previously speculated…"
Glenn nodded and affirmed, "Apart from Hill Woods, who else could it be? It's no wonder the points of the students on the third day were distributed like that under these circumstances . As it turned out, that guy was able to plunder so many points since he monopolized all the 13th District's powerful students in a single haul . "
The female student of the 13th, however, hastened to explain . "No, it's not what you imagined . We, the 13th District, really did not have the power to resist whatsoever only because those powerful students had repeatedly fought already…"
It was only natural that Glenn knew her meaning .
However, regarding the 13th District which did not have legendary students similar to Ice Age Mille or Primal Curse Althio, it would only have been a question of time before Hill Woods killed or expelled them all from the Secret Mirror . Even if their magic power wasn't exhausted, it would only have been a matter of enough time .
After all, Hill Woods was indeed even more powerful than the common legendary-level student . Sun's Child had called him a monster with her own mouth .
Claytia gave a sigh . She mumbled, "I truly regret not having gone to take a peek at the graceful bearing of Hill Woods owing to being frightened at the time . In the whole Holy Tower Tryouts, two districts actually shook with fear because of him . "
Having said that, Claytia teasingly looked toward Glenn and changed her tone . "Anyway… Honorable Glenn's strength is truly incomprehensible, being able to pressure and even kill that kind of monster . That said, the points of these two districts will be yours right away in addition to the 12th District's points—I'm afraid that there is probably no longer any contender for the reward of being the top in the entire Holy Tower Tryouts Mirror . Right, Honorable Glenn?"
Facing Claytia's flattery, Glenn merely gave her an indifferent glance from behind his Ashen Mask . He then coldly said, "Nevertheless, it is good to ensure there is absolute certainty . Just as my Master had told me, the safest and most secure method, if I want to strive for the pinnacle, is precisely to drive all rivals out of the Secret Mirror!"
Claytia gaped, clearly understanding that Glenn wanted to thoroughly sweep away all competitors of the five districts . She sighed in admiration, "Hey, we already searched this district for two days because there weren't any high-ranked students to 'sweep and clean . ' At the moment, it's a situation where all the points are scattered . Look—all the small and weak students like they have not left the Mirror . "
