Chapter 368 I Do Not Believe In Fate [Part 1]

?“This story sounds fishy to me,” Professor Barret said after calming down and organizing his thoughts. “You’re saying that this Professor Onar is the one assigned to teach the students about Magical Creatures and that he has a very down-to-earth personality. You also insist that he respects these creatures and would not do any harm to them unless it was for self-defense, right?”

“Yes,” Professor Marlton replied. “This is why I was surprised when I found out that he was the one who took the Dragon’s Egg from its nest. I believe he would not do something like that.”

Professor Barret frowned. “Does he have a reason for raising a Dragon’s egg on his own, especially when its mother is very much alive? As someone who teaches about Magical Creatures, he would certainly know how an Elder Dragon would react if its young is taken away.”

This time, it was Professor Marlton’s turn to frown. He had been feeling so stressed as of late that he hadn’t even had the time to properly meditate and try to dissect everything that had happened over the past few days.

“Also, did any of you see Professor Onar enter the Teleportation Gate to escape to Midgard?” Professor Barret asked. “Are there any eyewitnesses? Was he even in the academy when this happened?”

Professor Marlton paused for a bit as he tried to recall if Professor Onar was inside the academy when it happened.

“The last time I saw Professor Onar was when he asked permission to leave the academy in order to go to the Haliburn Mountains,” Professor Marlton answered. “He told me that he would be meeting a friend who specializes in the same field as him, and both of them would conduct a survey in the mountain and record the Magical Creatures that lived in it.

“He returned a few days later and locked himself up inside his room. A day later, the Elder Dragon appeared and demanded that we return her child to her. No Professors had left the academy, with the exception of Professor Onar. Eizenth’s Nest was in the Haliburn Mountains.

“We just thought that he was the culprit, so we decided to question him about it. When we arrived in his room, the door was locked and he wouldn't open it, so we forced ourselves in.

“However, he wasn’t there, and no matter where we looked in the academy, he couldn’t be found. It was then that we inferred that he did take the Dragon’s Egg and fled to Midgard using the Teleportation Gate. The reason for this is simple—there is no place he can hide from an Elder Dragon here in the Streatham Isle. The only safe place he can escape to is Midgard.”

Ethan and Henry, who were both listening at the side, thought that everything that happened was simply too convenient.

A Professor returned from his exploration and locked himself up inside his room. A day later, an Elder Dragon appeared, demanding that her child be returned. The Headmaster and the Professors of the Academy then barged into Professor Onar’s room and saw no one.

Because of this, they hypothesized that he must have escaped through the portal. But there was one problem.

There was no eyewitness who had seen the Professor actually use the Teleportation Gate to go to Midgard.

“Okay, tell me everything that happened from start to finish,” Professor Barret. “Also, if possible, tell me word for word what the Elder Dragon said. This story is fishier than the ink spray of a Kraken.” The source of thɪs content is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

The Headmaster of Dawnbreaker Academy nodded before taking out his wand.

“I have a better idea,” Professor Marlton lightly tapped his forehead with his wand before chanting a spell.

“Proiectura!”

A moment later, his eyes glowed emitting a projection in front of him.

A scene played where Professor Marlton was enjoying his afternoon tea in his office when the roar of a dragon broke the peace of the academy.

He then hurried to the Plaza, where the Elder Dragon was spewing a breath of fire toward the buildings, which were saved thanks to the Magical Barrier of the academy that protected it from such threats.

“Return my child to me, Human!” the Elder Dragon, Eizenth, demanded. “Or else, I will raze this place until nothing but ashes remain!”

Several Wyverns then descended from the sky and unleashed their own Breath Attacks, making the students scream in panic.

Fortunately, the barrier had already been deployed, preventing anyone from getting hurt.

“Your Excellency, what do you mean by return your child?” Professor Marlton asked. “We do not have your child within our academy.”

“Silence!” Eizenth roared. “Do not try to make excuses! I tracked the scent of the human who had come to my Nest, and it led here! Give me back my child, or I’ll massacre you all!”

“Please wait!” Professor Marlton shouted. “Do you know what this human is like? Maybe you can give us a description?”

The Elder Dragon narrowed her gaze. “Middle-aged with brown hair. He is also wearing glasses and a purple robe. Exactly like the robes that these other humans are wearing.”

Professor Maltron paused for a bit as he digested the information that the Elder Dragon had given them.

“Wait, are you talking about Professor Onar?” Professor Northon asked. “He is the one that fits that description perfectly.”

“Ah!” another Professor gasped. “Indeed. He is the one that fits that description the most.”

“Where is he?” a Lady Professor asked. “He’s not here?”

All the Professors glanced around their surroundings.

The educators of the academy were all in the Plaza, ready to defend their academy, and the only one missing was the Professor who taught the Study of Magical Beasts.

“Please wait here, Your Excellency,” Professor Marlton said. “We will look for Professor Onar right now. Some of you come with me, the rest stay here.”

After Professor Marlton gave his orders, several Professors accompanied him to go to the Teachers Dormitory, where Professor Onar was staying.

The Elder Dragon watched the humans go with hateful eyes.

If she could have her way, she would have already slaughtered every creature in the hateful academy, who were of the same race as the person who dared to steal her child away from her nest.
