Chapter 146: Another Encounter
The so-called Verrater points were given to the students who excelled in some of the academy's events. Although the kingdom's currency was still being used inside the Verrater Academy's premise, the Verrater Points can be exchanged for the seishin treasures that can be considered more special.
All of these seishin treasures were available inside the academy because of its wide influence inside the Holy Alliance. Verrater Academy was the most sought schools of the children from the nobilities and royalties of the Holy Alliance so their reach and influence can't be underestimated by any means.
Kraftvoll and his classmates from the 210th class were already oriented by this detail previously after the day when Kraftvoll and Godwin had their little sparring. They were just brief a little brief because students from the first grade had only a little chance to get some so they did not emphasize it to them more.
To get more Verrater points, all the senior students of the Verrater Academy were all desperate to hunt their juniors. After all, they already managed to loot some in the early part of the competition.
As the ninth graders and tenth graders were starting to enter the competition, those students from the lower grades decided to go to the upper parts of the mountain.
They already knew what would happen to them if they did not. After all, the seniors would all become desperate in searching for them because all of the loots were already in the hands of those who survived until this point.
Kraftvoll, who was still at the upper part of the mountain, was still in a deep meditative stance. He used up a huge amount of his inner seishin essence when he fought against the enemies that he encountered.
The whole time Kraftvoll was in deep meditation there, no one tried to attack him because no one was able to find him so until now, he was able to replenish his inner seishin essences without any hassles.
As some of Kraftvoll's seniors started their ascension toward the upper parts of the mountain, the next encounter Kraftvoll was already near at hand. It was already inevitable because the senior students already knew the moves that their juniors were going to do upon their arrival.
They already anticipated that all of their juniors would go up to the upper mountains because that's what they did when they were at their age. This is one of the instances where everyone can see the big difference between the experience of the students can be seen.
When Kraftvoll was in deep meditation, his perception of his surroundings was lesser than usual. This is the main reason why he summoned a shadow familiar. He wanted to have something that would guard him or at least alert him when someone tried a sneak attack on him. If he did not do this, he would be unable to ease his mind while in deep meditation which would only result in inefficient deep meditation.
While Kraftvoll was still in deep meditation, his shadow familiar was hit by a powerful light seishin spell all of the sudden. Kraftvoll's shadow familiar was vanquished by an unknown enemy with one hit. Although his senses were still a little dull, Kraftvoll felt this with the special connection between the summoner and the elemental familiar.
A soon as he felt this, he immediately jumped down from the tree where he was in deep meditation without hesitation. When he felt the danger, his instinct as a seishin practitioner suddenly made him jump without any hesitation. In the end, he was grateful for what he did because someone managed to vanquished his shadow familiar in one spell.
He immediately gazed toward his surroundings after he had jumped down from that tree. He raised his guard as much as he could as soon as he reached the ground.
He became this wary because only those seishin practitioners at the same level or even higher as he was were capable of defeating his shadow familiar in one shot. To his surprise, someone out of nowhere appeared in his back and that some held him very tightly.
When Kraftvoll felt that someone was holding him, he had no choice but to do one thing. Thankfully, he still had his Gale Protection seishin spell that was still enveloping around his body.
He let the concentrated air that was enveloping his body to outburst. This made the enemy that was holding him to be thrown away from him. He immediately glanced toward his mysterious attacker after that.
He saw another beautiful elven young lady targeting him. 'Another senior sister! I better not underestimate her or else!' he thought to himself. Last time, a human senior sister from the sixth grade managed to trap him inside the cave so Kraftvoll was shocked a little bit because he was faced with another senior sister.
This time, Kraftvoll managed to encounter a young elven young lady from the seventh grade. After Kraftvoll used his defensive seishin spell, she was thrown toward the tree as a result of the recoil of Kraftvoll's Gale Protection seishin spell's outburst.
Although Kraftvoll sacrificed his defensive seishin spell to remove the enemy's hold of him, the enemy still managed to stand up despite the damages that she sustained from the recoil.
That elven young lady immediately showed a mischievous smile after standing up. She did not mind what Kraftvoll did to her. She was planning something against Kraftvoll, after all.
She started chanting, "As the symbol of the mysteries of the world, I instruct thee, envelop me by your gloominess, Shadow Cloak!"
Black seishin essences started to gather around him when he started chanting. In comparison to the black seishin essences that were gathering around the caster's when he or she was conjuring the Shadow Bind seishin spell, the black seishin essences were on a different magnitude. This signifies that the seishin spell that the enemy had conjured was a level higher than the Shadow Bind seishin spell.
