First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 80: Gaze

Then her gaze turned toward the sealed wall behind her, a wall inscribed with the names of the academy’s top ten historical prodigies.

It flickered faintly.

Just once.

And then the light returned to normal.

The Dean’s lips curled into a faint smile. "Let’s see how far you go, Brat of the Helstorm."

***

Outside of the academy, beside a luxurious carriage, stood two men, laughing and talking with each other.

"So, what did you find about the elf Master brought back?" Edgar directly asked Lucan.

Lucan rubbed his neck and looked around, "About that, I found the hunter group but there wasn’t much info I could find. They only found her unconscious in the forest, and since their vice leader was already injured, they hurriedly came back to the city."

Edgar frowned his brows, "This is troublesome. We really can’t find anything about the girl?"

Lucan leaned over and softly whispered, "We can ask Lady Selene to soul search the elf."

Edgar slapped the back of Lucan’s head, "You idiot, do you hate me so much that you want me to get beaten by Lady Selene!?" he cursed out loud while pointing at him.

Lucan hurriedly stepped back and rubbed the back of his head, "Cough, it was only a suggestion. I’m also quite interested in knowing where she is from."

"Then we have to wait, or we might never know. As long as Young Master is safe, it is none of our business where she is from." Edgar shook his head and stood back up straight.

"Right, right, Young Master. Isn’t he quite late? It’s nearly evening and I thought he would get back soon." Lucan turned back to look at the Academy’s gates, which were now less crowded compared to earlier in the day.

However, there were still carriages of nobles present as they waited for their Young Masters or Young Ladies to return.

Edgar stroked his beard and thoughtfully said, "Hmm, I think Master told me that Lady Arya will also attend the academy."

Hearing his words, Lucan raised an eyebrow and weirdly laughed, "Senior Edgar, do you think Young Master Orion is busy with... Lady Arya?"

Edgar’s lips twitched, "You want a beating today or what? If someone from the Royal Family heard you, then both our heads will be on the ground."

Lucan proudly laughed and shook his head, "Oh come on, don’t be so dramatic. We both know Master Edgar won’t let that happen."

They both continued to bicker with each other until they saw Orion exiting the academy. They stood straight and welcomed him back.

"Young Master! I hope your test went well." Edgar welcomed him back with a bow.

Lucan quickly followed after him, "Hehe, how can anything go wrong with our Young Master? I’m sure Young Master showed those spoiled nobles what true talent looks like."

Edgar’s lips twitched. Out of all the things in the world, if Lucan was better than him at something, it was bootlicking. And he was miles better than himself.

’Should I get some lessons from him? Hmm... maybe it can be helpful for the future.’ he thought to himself.

"Yes, it went well. Let’s go back, I don’t wanna be late." Orion nodded his head and boarded the carriage.

The two of them looked at each other, and Lucan softly whispered, "He seems to be in quite a hurry."

Edgar shook his head and turned around, "Let’s hurry back home then. Maybe he’s excited to share his results with Master and Lady."

He boarded the carriage as Lucan shrugged and jumped onto the carriage. He moved the carriage as it began rolling through the pristine streets of the second ring back toward the mansion.

The people in front parted ways as they saw the insignia of House Helstorm inlaid outside the carriage.

Inside, Edgar sat opposite Orion, feeling something amiss from his expression. "Is there something wrong, Young Master? You’ve seemed quite lost since leaving the academy."

Orion mulled over his words before nodding his head, "When I was exploring the academy, I felt... someone’s gaze on me. As if trying to pry into my very being. Who or what was that?"

Edgar heaved a sigh of relief, "Haa... so it was this. You had me worried for a second there, Young Master." He lightly shook his head and continued, "What you felt was most likely the gaze of the Dean. She oversees the entire academy from her abode high above the clouds. She must have been monitoring you since Master Eldric notified her of your presence."

Orion raised an eyebrow, "Hmm... how strong is she?"

Edgar shook his head, "I don’t know exactly how strong, but I once heard from Master that she is as strong, if not stronger, than the Duke Houses of the Kingdom."

’Lumi, could she have found out something about me? Like my bloodline, or system, or any of my treasures?’ he inwardly asked.

[Heh, Master, let alone her, no one in this entire kingdom can find out anything about you. Nearly everything about you is hidden in layers of legacy. It would be a surprise if she could find out anything.]

He nodded his head, ’That’s good then. Haa... I was worried for nothing.’ He finally heaved a sigh and looked out of the window.

"That’s all I wanted to know, Uncle Edgar. Thanks for answering me," he lightly said while gazing out of the window.

"Oh no no, Young Master, you can always ask me for help if you have any issue." Edgar shook his hands in front of him and quickly said.

Orion nodded his head as the carriage soon became silent again. Lucan, who heard everything, chuckled but didn’t comment this time.

The carriage continued to move forward in silence as everyone minded their own business. And before long, it arrived before the Helstorm Estate.

"We are back, Young Master!" Lucan loudly said from the outside.

"Yes, yes, no need to shout. I’m not so far away from you." He shook his head and descended from the carriage.

"I’m going to find Grandpa and Grandma." He said as he turned around and walked away while waving his hand.

Edgar and Lucan nodded their heads and went to do their own work.

***

He soon arrived in the main hall of the estate, where Eldric and Selene were sitting. "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back!" he cheerfully said while entering the hall.

"Ah, lad, you are back." Eldric raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

"How did the test go, dear?" Selene, on the other hand, softly asked.

"Hehe, how can it go wrong? Though there were some complications. I’ll tell you about them later. Where is Seraph?"

"Heh, got a girl and forgot your old man already?" Eldric smirked and said.

Selene softly smiled, "She is in her room. You go and meet with her. It’s been the whole day since you left, after all."

He chuckled and nodded his head before leaving for her.

"This brat!" Eldric shook his head speechlessly.

Selene patted his shoulder while smiling gently.

***

Knock knock.

"Seraph, it’s me, Orion. I’m entering," he softly said.

As usual, no reply came from the other side. He lightly shook his head and gently opened the gate.
