Chapter 28: Xibolai
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios
The principal of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, Xibolai.
He was a well-known figure in the sorcery world. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the principal of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
Xibolai would sometimes feel that he was at a loss at whether the decision he made was right.
Xibolai’s reputation was not undeserved. He was a Holy Magister and there was almost no one who could match him in the sorcery world.
Everyone treated Xibolai with the utmost respect.
He was considered an authority in the sorcery world. It was even rumored that there was no magic that he did not know.
But now, Xibolai was not the authority of the sorcery world. He had another role, the principal of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
His name changed from Xibolai to Principal.
As time passed, he even started to forget his name.
Ever since Xibolai became the principal of the academy, he did not have time to study any magic theories or read up on sorcery books. All he did was read through the piles of files meant for him and do his daily tasks.
He had to finish these trivial matters. Even if he had some free time, he could only meditate. There was no time for him to do more than that.
He had not used powerful magic spells for a long time. Although he felt that he could still control the magical elements, he felt that the magical elements were getting further and further away from him.
One must know that he was once known as a genius among the geniuses.
Occasionally, he would still use magic spells. However, he no longer used those dangerous ones.
Others only saw him as a symbol for the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
What made Xibolai feel the most regretful was that he did not have the time to read those sorcery books anymore. He was no longer able to voice his opinions to the younger generation of sorcerers.
Xibolai had realized many years ago that the most ancient magic was not necessarily the most powerful.
As the theory behind magic was constantly being perfected, modern magic had more stable spells and power and was easier to control.
One had to know that in the past era, losing control of magic was very common.
However, at this point in time, losing control of magic was already very unlikely.
This was the progress of the sorcery world, and also the reason for the existence of sorcery academies.
There were far more people who knew magic than before and there were more and more children becoming geniuses.
Xibolai admired the children and hoped that the academy he represented would be able to achieve glory on the continent.
The Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition was his last chance. He wanted to end his principal career after this competition.
However, before he ended his career as a principal, he wanted to have an achievement.
Perhaps it was a form of commemoration, Xibolai wanted to win the championship for the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy once again before he left.
However, the students these days were full of vigor and the magic they learned was far more powerful than what he understood.
Xibolai began to wonder if it was because the students were too strong and he was the one who could not keep up with the times.
When he found out that Linley Bart had not cheated after using the Orb Of Truth, Xibolai was extremely happy.
But he had another problem. That was Alice.
Xibolai knew that she was a hardworking and studious girl.
However, she had touched a taboo, causing the teachers to quarrel with each other.
This was because it was a question about the roots of sorcery.
After all, on one end, some people still believed in the idea of a traditional sorcerer. Only by wearing a deep magic robe and using a wand could one be called a sorcerer.
On the other end, others considered close combat sorcerers with enchanted weapons as proper sorcerers too.
Close combat sorcerers were accepted in other academies.
However, in the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, the oldest and most traditional sorcery academy, this was not necessarily the case.
There were still a bunch of old-school teachers and elders who still lived in the magic tower.
Xibolai was not considered the oldest person in the sorcery academy. He was very hesitant and unsure if he should break the boundary this time.
“Alice used a forbidden spell! Principal, she must be expelled from the academy!” Wilson had long looked down on the daughter of the mercenary king. He had long wanted to drive Alice out of the academy.
However, he had no proper reason to do so originally. Now that he had finally found an opportunity, he spared no effort to attack Alice and try to kick her out of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
This was because to Wilson, the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy was a sacred place in his heart. It would be best if there were only pure-blooded sorcerers here. Any other sorcerers who were offspring of ordinary people would not be qualified to join the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
He believed that the reason why the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy had performed so badly in the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition was that more and more mixed-blood sorcerers had joined the college.
These mixed-blood sorcerers polluted the environment. Their impurity made their magic impure. Thus, they had to leave the academy!
This was a very good opportunity. Although Wilson hadn’t proved that Linley Bart was a fake, he was still able to make use of this opportunity to get rid of Alice.
Xibolai also understood that Alice had used a forbidden spell.
However, Alice was an extremely talented child. He could not bear to expel a sorcery genius from his academy.
Furthermore, the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition was about to begin. Xibolai could not and would not fire a child who might help the academy win the competition.
“Although Alice’s magic isn’t taught by the Holy Dragon Sorcery Academy, it also isn’t considered an evil forbidden spell,” Atais said. “There’s no need to expel a victorious student. If we expel her for this reason, we won’t be able to answer to her father.”
“Isn’t this very suspicious? In the arena, Linley Bart was clearly about to win. Yet, he chose to admit defeat at the last moment.” Wilson used this as an excuse to make a fuss. “I very much suspect that these two are cheating!”
“Teacher Wilson, why do you keep mentioning cheating? Don’t you trust the integrity of our students? This is a competition based on strength. Victory and defeat are both possible.”
Xibolai could no longer tolerate Wilson and waved his hand.
“Enough. There’s no need to speak any further. I’m willing to trust these children. There’s no need to speak of this matter any further. As for the reason why Linley had admitted defeat, I will personally ask him. The meeting shall end now.”
After Xibolai said that, he vanished.
Everyone sensed that the principal was getting angry and thus left respectfully and quietly.
