Ch 54 - The Head Mage's Judgment

Sigurd the head mage who was squatting like a statue finally awakened and the first thing he does is make threats.

He just told us to behave or else fate worse than death awaited us.

He made threats to us who were just 12-year-old brats with some of them still having their milk teeth in place. Despite how arrogant and misbehaved these 2nd tier exemplary candidates acted, they were still just a bunch of kids.

Despite the arrogance, these kids revered the head mage as a hero figure so of course they were disheartened.

The threat of the head mage fell in the kids' ears like war drums.

All the candidates suddenly fell silent like the dead. There were even some girls who were tearing up. Literally, everyone's shoulders were trembling after hearing Sigurd's warning.

Even Trisha and Hendrickson, who were always calm and composed, had worried expressions.

Sigurd glanced around at the silent scared kids with his condescending eyes. His glowing eyes made it rather hard to guess his emotion but he sounded a bit angry. He was still standing in the center in a squatting posture with his hands in the front. Still menacing as ever.

Yes, these 2nd tier candidates did act a bit arrogant... a little too arrogant but I think the head mage is equally guilty for making them arrogant in the first place.

The head mage placing the title of 'Exemplary Candidates' certainly bloated the egos of these candidates who had some petty gains in the Blessing Rituals. No wonder they started acting all proud and arrogant as they had some conceited reality in the back of their heads.

Young kids like these are gullible and can get a big head easily when they are praised even a little.

In the same manner, if you use a threat, they will easily be vulnerable and get scared as well. Especially if the head mage using a high spirit possession skill with glowing eyes makes the threat even scarier.

The worst thing is that he actually killed the whole vibe before the ascension ceremony.

Right now there was a heavy atmosphere and pin-drop silence.

Only the sound of our platform descending slowly downwards echoed in the chamber.

Suddenly a girl with long curly blonde hair stepped forward and stood before Sigurd.

"I apologize on behalf of everyone for our uncouth behavior." saying so she bowed her head before him.

This girl was none other than Trisha Valencia, the knight apprentice.

Sigurd didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Finally, one by one all the candidates followed Trisha and bowed their heads,

"We are all really sorry," said everyone in sync.

Even I and Jason had to join the apologetic gang to please the upset head mage.

Jason even forced the sobbing Marcia to bow her head despite the tears and snot she was leaking from her orifices.

If Sigurd wanted, he could easily get rid of us kids by mere farting, that's how powerful mages are when they are in a divine spirit possession state.

Trisha knew the temper of an angry mage. If that wasn't the case, there's no way a knight apprentice would bow their head so easily.

Sigurd then finally looked around all the candidates and nodded with satisfaction.

A smile appeared on Sigurd's face,
"Raise your heads. It's a good thing that you didn't step out of the line. If you kids really had even touched those mana crystals on the walls, then there would have been serious repercussions. These were to be faced by all, I mean even the candidates who didn't want the crystal would be equally guilty for not stopping them."
