Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 360 - A Debate!



The words of this old lady made Arthur speechless for a moment. "Even of all perished, I was excelling there and you stopped me!" he couldn't hold himself back any longer.

Despite her being dangerous, he wasn't much afraid. This was the academy and he had already two devoted strong people on his side!

"You…!!!" The hag was surprised by Arthur's words. "If you can't see through the things down there then you are blind!"

"You are the blind one!"

"Willy, hold your tongue please!'' At this moment Amanda had to step in. "Lady U doesn't mean bad! She cares about everyone, and even if you were surviving down there, that doesn't mean you were triumphing!"

"Humph," even against Amanda he wasn't fazed.

"Explain yourself kid," the old man who previously argued with Arthur's gang came as well and joined the argument. "The world is totally ruled by dark clans, and no one of you is able to stand their might! The words reached us already; they were preparing a giant army to crush all of your weak settlements."

"I didn't build a settlement," he replied with strong belief, "I built a grand city with mighty defenses that crushed many armies and would crush more!"

He wanted to shout loud, "I built an empire," yet he didn't. his empire was his private dream and he wouldn't risk exposing his outrageous ambition to anyone he didn't know or trust.

"A city?" this time it was the turn of Mr. E to speak up. "I have no information regarding this," and his words were directed to the two elders standing beside him right now.

"We… I don't think I heard anything about a city before," the old man said, while feeling slightly pressured by Mr. E gazes. "It must be some exaggeration of this kid."

"I'm not exaggerating," Arthur retorted back, "I built a huge city, fought many wars, and crushed Dorfis clan main assault a couple of times. In fact a week before coming out I crushed another big clan's army on the same walls of my city. And now my armies are heading everywhere to press on the victory and grant me more territory, population, and resources. Except for your intervention, I would have crushed another group of clans led by a big dark one!"

"You…" the elder's face turned red from rage, "you shouldn't have high hopes about that place. It was a trial meant to assess your performance."

And Lady U joined the elder and supported his words. "Your presence inside was a temporary procedure. Your settlement or whatever you like to call stood no chance against the big dark clans deeply rooted inside; even if what you said about crushing the middle sized Dorfis clan is true!"

Arthur didn't speak again as Amanda gave him a warning glance while Cesile spoke for the first time. "If he says the truth, then we should use this city to our advantage," she suggested, trying not to slack Arthur's efforts and deprive him from even the credit.

"We don't need anything pathetic as a weak settlement," the elder was already aggressive and rude, "we will handle our own things."

"What about my city? My people?" Arthur asked, trying to show his faked anxiety.

"They aren't yours anymore," the elder harrumphed before coldly replying.

"Tsk," and Arthur just went silent saying nothing.

"Alright, shall this debate end here?" Mr. E tried to mediate, "as everyone returned from inside, the results of the assessment shall be pronounced."

He then glanced at Arthur as he added, "everyone has already tested their progress at the memory crystal. It's your turn now to be assessed. Come with me."

He then stepped to the side where a small oval platform Arthur didn't notice before stood erect with a diagonal shard of white crystal.

"What is it?" he muttered while Amanda replied while walking to his front: "It's a means to investigate memories. It's the way to assess your progress inside without wasting much time."

"A mind reader?!" he was shocked and worried that he even paused for a moment there.

'Ding! Don't be startled; I will hide anything related to me, the world's wills you got in touch with, and the star map.'

Then Arthur continued walking.

His momentary pause didn't attract anyone's eyes, as everyone was already focusing on Mr. E going to the crystal.

All the previous disciples didn't have such honor! And Mr. E wasn't alone!

All of the five great figures were walking behind him, side by side with the two supreme council elders.

The sudden ruckus caused by Arthur's appearance managed to attract everyone's attention here. For those who were inside, the name of Willy became well known; yet none stepped forward to say a word or two to support his claims.

All of the survivors here didn't manage to claim this by their own work like Willy. They were all descendants of great clans and guilds in this world; most had deals with the dark clans even before stepping inside the test.

Most were Arthur's enemies, yet he didn't know this.

'Don't forget to cloud the memories of the pillars as well.'

'Ding! Ok!'

'And the deal with Olor, also the fight with the big clans.'

'…'

His system didn't answer, and Arthur kept thinking of his deeds inside the world. He did a lot, and many things were considered his secret.

'Ding! Don't overthink matters, after all most of your deeds are well known to your real enemies in the dark side. Want to hear my opinion?'

'Sure,' Arthur had arrived at the crystal with others.

'Ding! Make your allies know how great you are.'

'And the spies?'

'Ding! Your enemies don't need any spies to know what they have already known on your deeds.'

'You got a point,' Arthur complied with his system and then Mr. E spoke, distracting him from the conversation with his system:

"This is the crystal of memory, just put your hands there and wait for her evaluation."
