Chapter 569 All Present
Chapter 569 All Present
Seeing the panic in their eyes, Wiggins's quickly continued–
"That war will determine Humanity's fate, thus, the reason why my Vardos Country made such incredulous requests for everyone's attendants." "Why?...Because we, the armed forces of the world, are humanity's first line of defense against these creatures!!" "And that's why, I have gathered you all here, because despite how grim the situation looks, there is always hope at the end of the tunnel." Yes, yes! There must be a way forward, or else why would Wiggins stand there so confidently? In a flash, several people's eyes lit up like torches. And at the far front, Wiggins and his Vardos team calmly moved to the side, bringing everyone's attention to Dorian and the academy members once more. Hey, how come they forgot just now that it was these people who saved them just now? Wiggins once again gave a 90 degree bow, reintroducing Dorian once more. Only this time, no one frowned or showed any disdain like before. "Grandmaster!!" … n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
15 minutes later, and everyone was still shaken to their cores.
What about science? Till now, everyone didn't understand how they got to such a grand space. They were right there when Old Gia set up a simple box-like camping tent with the same height as a phone booth. Then, they were told to step into the wide phone booth after making lines of 7. Yes, that's right. 7 people could pass through at the same time. Seeing several people step in bit by bit into the small tent but somehow not overflow out, caused many at the back to scratch their heads in wonder. Kletus and Khalea were 2 of those whose curiosities also grew by the second. And only after stepping in, did their eyes jump incredulously. Look! Everyone could step in and there will still be more space or 5 times more than their current population. 10:50
This… this… this… Suddenly, they felt that they had been deceived by the ancients who claimed Science was the answer to everything. What happened to the laws of Physics?
Can you explain why this tent is tiny outside, but is as grand as a Palace inside? Look! Everyone could step in and there will still be more space or 5 times more than their current population. This… this… this… Alright. They decided not to think of it anymore, or else their poor brains might get fried to bits. After stepping in, everyone did their best to stand tall despite their shaking bodies. With very observing eyes, everyone moved towards the 7 massive orbs at the forefront in lines of 7, just as instructed. "Eh? Old Bho, you old devil, is that you?" Who?
Old Bho's eyes widened in disbelief when seeing Kletus who should have gone abroad for the military competitions. What was going on? Why were there so many military personnel here all of a sudden? It wasn't just Old Bho and those from the Bho household who were shocked, several others who stepped into the Tian estate but somehow found themselves here. Even those from Oakland Town were here too. If one could recall, Dorian and several disciples had saved Oakland Town from several monsters disguised as the elderly. Then there was that big battle on the cornfields, that made many feel like they were goners. And after the whole thing, Dorian had specifically invited several others to take the exams. There was 14-year-old Helga, Ross, a curly-haired 13 year old, Mailang, a cute 13-year-old girl in pigtails, little Benjy, the playful one,… and finally, 14-year-old Gregory, the one they called General, the one in charge of the gang of little teens back in Oakland. It was ironic that Gregory's second in command, Ross, also had an older brother of 16 years old who was also one of the leaders of the high schoolers, who always opposed them. Officer Han Macy, officer Li Trey and 4 other officers were also in attendance. And Some parents also came, wanting to become exorcists because after that situation of almost getting eaten alive, they more than anyone else understood the importance of gaining personal strength in these dark times. All in all, there were several people not just from Oakland Town, but various places the academy disciples had ventured to in the past during their heroic escapades. .
Again, another group that showed up here were the Ingards.
One should not forget that the Cang Ingard was Ghu Sota's friend and was seen by many as one of his lackeys. So after Ghu Sota sensed something amiss with his good old buddy, he painstakingly invited Dorian over to the Ingard Residence.
There, they met with Cang Ingard's mother, Lishu, and his father Zee Ingard. Damn! Who knew that all this time, it was his favorite aunt slowly poisoning him with demonic worms disguised as juicy peaches?
Thanks to Dorian, the Ingard household was saved, but they couldn't be the same after such an attack. That's why they pleaded with Dorian to take the test to become academy disciples. Zee Ingard, Lishu, and Cang Ingard had now appeared in the space alongside 2000 trusted subordinates and guards.
Indeed, the place was full with all sorts of faces, ranging from small to old. Yes… There were 7 elderly people with walking sticks who looked to be at least 70 years of age. However, Dorian had particularly chosen them, so they were invited over. With the noble auras and talents he sensed, Dorian speculated some of them might be well suited to be Caretakers and elders. So what if they were old?
Don't you know that the more one cultivates, the younger they become, the faster their brains work and the quicker their senses will become?
Truthfully, it was unfair to let any cultivator take any exam with ordinary people. Cultivators could store pages and pages of information in their minds word for word. Their brains were like vast libraries, and they could recall all stored info whenever they wanted. Of course, there was a difference between storing and interpreting/understanding the info stored.
Looking around, many felt it incredulous to see just how many people had gathered.
