Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 207: Winner Wyvern

The outpour of Ice crystals along with mist and snow signified the end of a one-sided brawl. The mist spread all across the stadium and those in the gallery felt its chill.

'Mana Transfer!'

There were a few pairs of eyes who recognised Lee's deed. Erikko, Drake and Ganga shouted out the name of this technique in their minds. This art was difficult to execute for a long time, as the beast in demand of energy, would end up sucking every bit of Mana from the provider. The fact that Lee was not using any Mana potions indicated that he was not an ordinary man.

Ganga was pale as she witnessed her defeat. The Flame Lion had its mane and fur full of icicles, despite its futile resistance. The command Lee previously gave to the wyvern was the only thing that held the flying behemoth from freezing the beast to death.

Lee retracted his hand, as he can see the shivering beast through his Map. The Mana supply was cut off, and the wyvern was told to stop. It stepped backward, and lowered its head to Lee. As a beast which had grown up inside a dungeon, it was seeking pats and head rubs. Understanding the necessity, Lee rubbed its scales with affection.

Professor Ganga had lost her luster and victorious smirk. The Flame Lion saw the wyvern and Lee together and turned around to glare at her. She quickly summoned the return portal, and the beast walked in. Before it left, it gave one last stare at her, which literally meant-

"Don't summon me ever again!"

More than the freezing defeat, what hurt the Flame Lion most, was the attitude of its summoner. As the beast went inside the portal, her head was staring at the ground. For the first time, the competitive spirit of Ganga had faced defeat.

Lee saw the Flame Lion returning into the portal and the magic fissure closed. He was now interested to make contact with these beasts from the portals. Making a quick mental note of the incident, he turned towards Erikko.

Drake was also looking at Erikko through the corners of his eyes. For a few seconds, he was confused as to why everyone including Lee was staring at him. Then, it hit him.

'Oh shoot, I am the principal!'

Erikko sprang up from his seat and picked up a serious face.

"The winner of the duel is Lee!"

Following his words, a loud round of applause rose up. The wyvern was unaware of such customs, and was about to roar at them. But, Lee quickly transferred his memories about local and social customs to the beast and it calmed down. The beast quickly surfed through the received sets of information, and assimilated them into its brain.

It was then Erikko noticed the absence of Ganga in the stadium. His wandering eyes were noticed by the students and professors, and they too found her missing. Without waiting to hear the victor declaration, she had silently exited the stadium and went back to her quarters.

Though Lee was unaware of the reason for disappearance, many were sure that it was because of her first defeat since joining the academy. As a student and tutor, Ganga's sensitivity and quickness to Mana and her passion to research Magic were her major advantages in a fight.

"Anyone objecting my decision can enter the arena."

Erikko observed the wyvern in detail, and spoke. A silence was followed by his words, and he was happy. After dispersing the students, Erikko asked the department heads to gather at his office.

---

"Is it okay to leave that thing with the students?"

Drake asked Lee, who was walking in front of him, while looking over his shoulder. Hearing this question, Lee turned around and saw the wyvern and a bunch of students next to it.

"It will be fine. The wyvern is very obedient."

Drake nodded as he took one last glance at the wyvern, and turned around to walk into the main building of the academy. Lee found the students trying to interact with the beast, amusing. Even though it was a dungeon boss, the beast would not break his commands.

Following Drake, he entered the building and headed to the principal's office.

*knock knock*

Erikko's voice came from the inside of the room, and Drake and Lee entered the office. The principal was seated in his seat. Sulphur Quill of Summoning Magic department, Ganga Equis of Magic Research department, Merion Block of Weapon Mastery department, Serapha Kitt of Rune Mastery department, Walter Green of Fire Element department, Ivy Taurus of Water Element department, Uriel Yttrid of Wind Element department, Romal Dread of Earth Element department, Dolly Drake of Holy Element and Luigi Valor of Artifact department had already assembled in the office.

Adding Drake Godson of Spell Development department and Erikko Tesla of Physical Augmentation department, the total number of departments in the Alaqvier academy was 12. There were a few more departments in the past years, but the silent persecution from cultivators and the powerhouses of the city proved to be suppressing.

The interior of the office had drastically changed. The table and set of chairs were nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a big conference table with Erikko sitting at the head. There were a few chairs vacant. The principal gestured both to take a seat, they promptly did.

"I hope you all are aware of the duel's results. Lee had won the match, and had acquired the right to be a tutor of the academy. In today's circumstances, the presence of a person like him is necessary."

Erikko was serious, and his words conveyed an indisputable fact. Just because they have Mana affinity, many children are restricted from even leaving their houses. The pride of the cultivator powerhouses were founded on the objective of destruction of enemies.

After a short pause, he continued-

"The only thing that is left to do is to decide his department. So put forward your suggestions."
