Chapter 179: Dean Alariel

Some attributed it to an attack on the Royal Capital by an enemy nation, while others said that one of the Dukes had returned from the borders.

Soon, students began to move around again, getting busy with classes and training, unaware of the other astonishing events that had just transpired deep within the academy’s most sacred site—the Origin Mana Pool.

The imposing Sky Pavilion loomed ahead, floating serenely atop a gentle bed of clouds. Viren paused momentarily, taking a steady breath to compose himself.

While outwardly calm, his heart was still racing fiercely, images of Orion’s shocking cultivation scene and Eldric’s overwhelming aura vividly etched into his mind.

As he approached, Viren halted respectfully before the pavilion’s translucent barrier, bowing slightly toward the sealed gates. His voice, clear and respectful, resonated softly in the sky. "Dean Alariel, Instructor Viren requests permission to enter."

A momentary silence followed, the gentle humming of ancient arrays subtly vibrating through the air. Shortly after, a serene yet authoritative voice echoed gently around him.

"Come in, Viren."

At her words, the barrier silently parted, and Viren stepped carefully inside.

The interior of the Sky Pavilion was tranquil and austere, perfectly reflecting the serene nature of the Dean herself.

At the center of the inner chamber, beneath the gentle glow of softly floating mana lamps, Dean Alariel sat quietly at a small table, calmly sipping tea from a delicate jade cup.

Viren immediately bowed once again, this time even more respectfully, fully aware of her esteemed position and unmatched insight. "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice, Dean Alariel."

The Dean looked at him with calm, curious eyes, a faint yet knowing smile forming on her face as she set her cup down gently.

"You are quite fortunate, Viren," she spoke softly, her tone lightly teasing yet filled with subtle seriousness. "Managing to return alive and unharmed from the Old Man’s doorstep—that alone is a notable feat. Especially considering you carried his unconscious grandson in your arms." freewёbnoνel.com

Viren smiled sheepishly, knowing full well the immense danger he had briefly faced. "Indeed, Dean Alariel. Truthfully, the moment I entered the Helstorm Estate with Orion unconscious, I felt as though I stood before a furious dragon. Master Eldric’s presence alone nearly overwhelmed me."

Dean Alariel chuckled softly, amusement flickering momentarily in her sharp, perceptive eyes. "That’s the Old Man for you. Few in this kingdom truly grasp just how terrifying that man can be when provoked, particularly regarding his grandson after that incident. Still, you remain here, standing before me, so clearly you handled the situation properly or he has become soft after finding Orion."

Viren exhaled softly, nodding in earnest agreement. "I must admit, however, today’s events within the Origin Mana Pool were far beyond anything I had anticipated or witnessed in all my years here."

Her eyebrows arched gently, interest clearly piqued by his serious tone. "Do tell me exactly what transpired. While I do not use the Academy Eye to pry into the personal cultivation of our students, I naturally noticed your hurried departure with Orion unconscious. I made my guesses, but I prefer to hear the details from you directly."
