Ascension of the Nephilim



The sudden bolt of lightning not only electrocuted the Mage champion, but Emeros's actions shocked the two other teachers.

The teacher was struggling to stand up and was suffering from immense pain. The bolt of lightning fired not only his body but caused all the potions and pills he had to be destroyed!

One of the teachers rushed back quickly and gave the teacher a pill.

But right as the teacher swallowed the pill, he instantly collapsed and fainted.

"What did you-!"

"The rules of Cloud Peak Academy state that a teacher of the school will have the opportunity to test the teacher. He lifted his hands to attack me to test my defenses. I then went and tested his defenses. Master Teacher Zachery... Am I not a registered teacher of this school? Also, the rules state that the manner of the testing must be similar to the original testers in its form, weight, and level of pressure. He launched a sudden attack on me. I did the same." Emeros smiled.

The two teachers could not argue with his claims.

"Besides. That attack was a reflection of his power. As you can see, this invention of mine could harness the energy and shoot it back. My quick deploying energy conversion circle with this tamed living vine that I have and my servant who was tatted energy conversion circles all worked hand-in-hand to send the counterattack." Emeros answered.

At Emeros's, the two teachers recalled the attack process and realized that the counterattack of Emeros was unique. Quick Deploy is a valued skill within the Floating Continents as it had powerful usage in warfare and battles.

The method of Emeros was unique, and even the tool that Emeros used was very intriguing.

The orb looked like an Elemental Core but wasn't. How could it absorb and perfectly release energy?

"What is that?"

"I call it an energy capture orb. Of course, this energy can only absorb attacks once in a while. It also has an issue of requiring more energy compared to the one that cast it. Its durability is also an issue, as it can only block attacks slightly higher than the quick attack of that teacher. Any stronger and this orb would have broken down and exploded, causing me more damage." Emeros sighed.

"But as you can see if used at the right time, it could surprise even Champions. That means that Captains of this place would have the opportunity to attack Champions and even kill them."

"...Still, you nearly killed that teacher!"

"Is he not in service to another brother of Alistair? I know a bit about politics despite my mundane upbringing. He would have made my life difficult in entering here even though I am more than capable of being a teacher here. Or is the secrets of my two objects not worthy of this? If not, I can take my energy conversion circle and leave. Perhaps the other academies of the other kingdom would be willing to accept me. I am certain the academy in Diamante would welcome me with more honor bestowed." Emeros dared.

The two teachers both frowned. Emeros was clearly showing his worth. But more curious was how he addressed Prince Alistair.

"I am not here by orders of Alistair. We both made a vow of Equals, and he has prohibited me from calling him Prince. You can ask him if you wish. I can freely leave this academy, but I can bear some pressure here because of my respect and concern for the prince. But if my entry is forever closed, I will move on."

"...I wonder what the prince is thinking. Nevertheless, it would be foolish of me to deny you entry. Those two things you showed are indeed marvelous. Also, tattooed energy conversion circles have not reached a stage where they can be deployed, and you have a servant capable of that. The Prince did well to hide your capabilities." The mage that rushed and healed his companion spoke.

"Indeed. I dream of becoming an Energy Conversion Circle Pedagog. What you showed me is indeed amazing. But I will tell you now, even though you will naturally be accepted into the academy, you will still bear hardships."

"As long as it is hardships where I can prove myself, I will endure. My concern, and I bolted that teacher, is if my efforts will not help me."

"Very well. I am pleased to hear that you will stay with us for a while. Teacher Emeros. This is Senior Teacher Zwelus. And the one that challenged you is Senior Teacher Artes. We welcome you to our humble academy. Let us head towards the Headmaster's Office to inform them of your arrival."

Emeros followed the two teachers. With a wave of Master Teacher Zachary, the first mage suddenly began to float as they walked.

The teachers toured Emeros, and he got a closer view of the kingdom.

Emeros noticed the odd gazes that many had at them. Seeing a floating unconscious teacher while two prominent teachers guided a young boy looked bizarre.

Rumors of how a new student attacked a teacher began to spread throughout the campus.

As Emeros observed the academy, he saw it was a mage-dominant academy with scholars appearing everywhere. But at the far end of the academy, Emeros could see several tall buildings with a sword and shield. There were also other weapons appearing over them.

"Oh? So this academy doesn't host mages?"

"Those with the aptitude often study here to dual cultivate their abilities and skills."

"I see... This is good. I walk the path of a swordsman, after all."

"A swordsman? I never would have taken you as the fighting type."

"I am moderately good at using Blitzer and Ravager attacks."

"Blitzer? Ravager?!" Senior Teacher Zwelus broke the silence. The Blitzer and Ravager classes were known to be one of the most useless classes on the planet. He couldn't understand how such a smart boy took up such a class.

"Such an odd... preference you have, teacher Emeros."

Emeros didn't bother explaining it. He knew why those two classes were deemed useless. The kingdom had no inheritances from gods or fallen that could turn this class into something great. 

"It's the class I practiced the most. Of course, I would rather be a Classed Knight to support me in defenses whenever I use Quick Deployed Energy Conversion Circles."

"Ah... That makes sense..." Master Teacher Zechary nodded.

The group marched on and rode on majestic floating pods that levitated. 

"So this is one of the rare ores that keep the Floating Continents high up, huh?" Emeros was amazed.

"It's strange that a powerful and genius mage such as yourself is surprised by this. You are the first teacher of the mundane world... It's somewhat exciting to see what will become of you here..." Master Teacher Zechary spoke.

"I hope that the hint of excitement you have is not your anticipation of the chaos I may cause here..." Emeros smiled.

"It is. I expected you to be kicked out at the steps. Now, you are about to meet the Principal."

"Would it be alright for me to ask about the Principal? I hear he is the direct disciple of a Pedagog from the Continents Above the Sky."

"Yes. Our dear own Principal. The disciple that Pedagog of the Iron Enchanments found in his visits to the Floating Continents. He did the impossible and reached the Second Level of the Pedagog Ranks. A licensed Pedagog from above born in this land is quite unique, teacher Emeros. Only two share that title. He is the Pedagog of the Fiery Enchantments, Pedagog Xilar Burner! The inheritor of the Heavenly Enchantments!"

"What a formidable title!"

"Yes. Frankly, he doesn't care about your entry. He expected you to be kicked out since Senior Teacher Artes intended that. Do not underestimate Pedagogs. They have superior intelligence like you've never seen before. Hearing their wisdom would shock you."

Emeros did his best not to roll his eyes. After all, he had two brothers who were freaks in that area. Kyros and Noxus were so smart that they made Calaminus, an Ancient God, look dumb!

The group moved deeper inside the academy. 

Emeros could see that the very metals that were used were similar to the ones found in the mines. However, the ones found in the mines were more durable and theoretically would fly even higher.

"No wonder that Mine caused a huge commotion. The ores could contain nearly twice the magic! In theory, it could cause interstellar travel with it! Is the three kingdoms thinking of leaving this place?" Emeros wondered.

He recalled the story of his father, who said that he was kept in the furthest, most desolate region. It seems that leaving the Tri-Planets would even be a miracle in itself.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the Principal.

"Hm? That boy is still here? Oh. He managed to defeat Senior Teacher Artes in a challenge." A voice echoed out. The sound did not appear from any source but directly spoke to their thoughts.

"Yes, Pedagog! Here is Emeros! He has shown impressive prowess and knowledge worthy of a Senior Teacher. It is, as Prince Alistair claimed in his introduction."

"So that brat wasn't bragging, huh? But it will take more than a mere Senior Teacher to survive this era. Boy, I heard that you are skilled in Energy Conversion Circles. The Prince claimed that you have an ability that could challenge Master Teachers. Prove it to me. Otherwise, you cannot enter this office and claim your official license." Xilar's voice echoed out.

FLASH!

The three teachers vanished and appeared in the very room of the Principal.

In front of his desk was a large space where an Energy Conversion Circle was drawn. This was connected to a subtle Energy Conversion Circle drawn underneath the marbled floor that Emeros and the two teachers once stood on.

Xilar was stunned, silent, and shocked as he saw the three appear before he activated the spell!

Emeros walked out of the circle, moved to the desk, and took his license.

"Thank you, Pedagog." Emeros bowed as the stunned Xilar looked at Emeros.
