Age of Adepts
-
chapter-9
At dinner, all the Apprentice Adepts learned that they had gotten a new Apprentice Leader.
In regards to this change, most of the Apprentices showed no reactions, and not a single person even asked what had happened to Anksorus.
Greem, being quite the opposite of their new Apprentice Leader, Ellen, who was proudly proclaiming his new status in the cafeteria, could barely hold down his ire at his new Apprentice Leader.
Although the former Apprentice Leader hadn’t been very nice, at least he was a fairly strong guy who had mastered three to four magic spells. He wasn’t as strong as Hawkeye, Evil Bugs, or Madwoman, but he was much stronger than most of the elementary level Apprentices. Why else would they swallow their pride silently while being ruthlessly exploited by him?
On the other hand, everybody knew Ellen’s background. He was just a rookie, and had only mastered ‘Wind Blade’ and ‘Twister Shield’. He had spent most of the past year hiding in the Adept Tower, which made his combat skills awfully weak. If he had to fight them, perhaps more than half of the Apprentices Adepts could defeat him 1-on-1.But looking at the four ‘friends’ who were surrounding him, clearly this guy had a good understanding of his weaknesses and had compensated for them by drawing in a few helpers.
Right when Ellen was proudly giving his ‘inauguration speech’, the wooden door of the cafeteria was roughly kicked opened by someone, forcefully slamming up against the stone wall.
After that, a young man, who had his left eye covered with an eye patch, walked into the cafeteria with a somber expression on his face.
Apprentice Leader Ellen’s ‘inauguration speech’ came to a sudden halt. At the same time, whispers of “Hawkeye” could be heard from all corners of the cafeteria.
The young man who wore eye patch was one of the three strongest Apprentice Adepts, Hawkeye.
