Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2385

Tista's family clapped the loudest and the Royals let her bathe in the first glory of her own until even Elina's and Raaz's hands gave out.

"Mage Ernas, you have long performed your duty in the secrecy that the Council required from you, living in the shadow of your sisters. Now, however, that's no longer necessary and your mentor, Lady Faluel Nyxdra, has shared your achievements with us.

"Also, Magus Verhen backed her claims about your talents and there's no better proof of that than the blueprints of the power core of the DoLorean which also bear your signature.

"For any of those who find these words hard to believe, I invite you to speak to Professor Rudd who taught Mage Ernas dimensional magic, or to just look at her hair. The seven streaks are something that only people like the First Magus, the Forgemaster Magus, and our dear Queen share.

"Based on the mastery Mage Ernas proved with the DoLorean and her contributions to the War of the Griffons, we can hope that she'll rise to their same heights. I wish you'll become a Magus in the future, but for now, I can only appoint you Great Mage."

The King repeated the ceremony for Friya and the Royal Guards brought her a deep green mage robe as well. Once the Royals started clapping their hands, the Banquet Hall almost came down from the booming applauses.

Jirni and Orion exchanged a look, leaning against each other since their hands were busy, both inwardly wishing that Phloria could be with them on that day.

"Professor Vastor." The Queen took a long pause after drawing everyone's attention. "It feels weird to me calling you Professor when I know you are far more than a mere academic. You are a former member of the Queen's Corps.

"A Spellbreaker. A Master Warden. A Colonel of the army. The Duke of Essagor. You were once the candidate for the title of god of healing and your achievements are far too many to list in a single day.

"It pains me to admit that when we relieved you from your duty during the Battle for the White Griffon, we believed your talents to not be up for the task. Yet we were wrong. You proved us wrong.

"Even when we lost faith in you, your loyalty to the Kingdom didn't falter.

"You came back for us, protecting Supreme Magus Verhen with your life. Then, when your body couldn't stand the battle anymore, you helped Headmaster Marth with your wits, allowing him to tap into the true power of the academy."

Vastor's eyes went wide in surprise and he tilted his head just enough to see from the corner of his eye that both Marth and Lith winked at him. They had agreed upon their version of the battle in order to not leave their friend in the shadows.

Marth and Lith both knew that Vastor had been there, yet only Lith knew the full scope of Vastor's contribution and why it had to remain hidden. Marth didn't care about the details, only the fact that Vastor had helped him and had saved their students mattered.

"For that, you have our eternal gratitude. Alas, we can't promote you to the rank of Brigadier General, unless you are willing to resume active duty in the army." Vastor shook his head and the Queen nodded in agreement.

"We can't make you a Magus either unless you have knowledge to share with us along with the magical prowess you used to defend the Kingdom." Vastor shook his head again so Sylpha resumed speaking.

"What we can do, however, is to promote the Duchy of Essagor to a Grand Duchy. It will increase the funds you have at your disposal each year for the development of your lands, the number of Warp Gates that can be built, and the glory of the Vastor bloodline."

"I've been a Professor all my life and I've grown accustomed to my role. Nurturing the new generations of mages is what I love doing and I'd like to keep doing it." _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
