Chapter 1653: Chapter 1654: Prophecy
“You can’t blame me for this. At the time, I needed to find a job to make ends meet, and I didn’t expect to be so lucky that your Maomu Academy happened to be hiring teachers.”
With a mysterious smile, Gladys spoke. Feng Yuan wasn’t sure how much of her words were true, but it seemed plausible. After all, Gladys couldn’t control the academy’s hiring process. Laughing, Gladys said,
“Where’s Agunas? After school, I have something important to tell you all.”
“Something important?”
Furrowing his brow, Feng Yuan had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, and Veronia said softly,
“I’ll let Agunas know to come over before class ends.”
“That’s good～”
Seeing Gladys turning back to the podium and sitting down, Feng Yuan said in confusion,
“What exactly does she want to do? Something important, and she even needs to call Agunas over. Could there really be something major happening?”
“We’ll know when the time comes, won’t we?”
Smiling, Veronia spoke. It didn’t seem to care much because the information Gladys could gather wasn’t as comprehensive as theirs, the Divine Beasts. However, it didn’t expect that the information didn’t originate from Gladys but from Mulati.
Feng Yuan was curious about what Gladys could teach, so he didn’t plan to continue sleeping through this class. After the class bell rang, Gladys began with a self-introduction.
Regarding her methods of divination and prophecy, Feng Yuan merely yawned and didn’t bother to expose her words. To be honest, those methods weren’t entirely useless for Non-Mordan people, but they required the help of a Spirit Beast with prophecy ability. In other words, those methods could only enhance the prophecy ability of Spirit Beasts.
While Gladys was teaching, Anna, who stayed behind in the teachers’ dormitory, finally successfully completed a prophecy. However, the content of that prophecy changed her complexion. She didn’t expect what Gladys concealed to be such an astonishing thing.
“Even if you stare at it for an entire class, it’s useless.”
Patting Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan said helplessly to the little critter staring intently at the Crystal Ball. Although he himself could use the Crystal Ball for divination and could even make more accurate prophecies than Gladys by using his own abilities, Xiao Ji couldn’t do that.
It, with only the Death Series attribute, couldn’t possibly use such a Time Series inclined tool. Even as a Divine Beast, this was the case. However, Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan displeasedly and made a noise, seemingly complaining about Feng Yuan interrupting it, and then continued staring at the Crystal Ball, trying to see something from it.
Seeing Xiao Ji like this, Feng Yuan could only let it be. Picking up the Divination Cards, he randomly drew one and tossed it on the table. Staring at the card face, depicting a man and a woman narrowly passing by at a station, Feng Yuan was momentarily stunned and said,
“An encounter at the wrong time? What kind of strange prophecy is this.”
Clearly, the reunion he’d been expecting was already impossible, so how could he draw such a prophecy? Compared to the Crystal Ball Xiao Ji was staring at, the card in Feng Yuan’s hand was the real deal with prophecy abilities, since the Crystal Ball needed his own power to activate, whereas this card merely needed to be used, consuming the power contained within the card itself.
Though such cards are consumables, once the power contained within is exhausted, they lose their effect. However, the Divination Cards distributed by Gladys have the ability to recharge. All it takes is finding a Time Series or Fate Series Spirit Beast to help inject energy, allowing these cards to be used again.
Above this, there are actually Divination Cards that can recharge themselves. Only, such cards are costly, and even Gladys only possesses a few, naturally not distributing them freely to everyone.
Feng Yuan couldn’t quite understand what the encounter at the wrong time meant, but he didn’t care. Even if someone could divine something about him, such divinations wouldn’t relate to anything too significant. After all, his own power would actively protect him, only indirectly predicting matters related to him at most.
Compared to Feng Yuan, others were very excited during their first attempt at divination for themselves. Even Qi Chen couldn’t help but try to interpret the card he drew, and Feng Yuan curiously leaned over to glance at his card, surprisingly saying,
“A miraculous journey and unscathed? How did you draw two cards?”
“I don’t know. I clearly only drew one, which was the miraculous journey, yet this unscathed came along with it.”
Looking at the two cards, Qi Chen couldn’t help but suspect if he’d made a mistake somehow. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan in surprise and said,
“The result of these divinations is a bit too obvious, isn’t it?”
“Seems like it too, a miraculous journey where nothing goes wrong. Tsk, does this mean we’re about to hit some trouble again?”
With just a glance, Feng Yuan guessed what the divination result might imply. It couldn’t be helped; it was just too easy to figure out. If Qi Chen hadn’t been pulled by him, he wouldn’t have gone to any weird places in the first academic year. So this miraculous journey had to be related to him. Plus, he just drew that encounter at the wrong time card, surely something was about to happen, with him and Qi Chen in the midst of it all.
Seeing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and showed the Divination Cards she drew, surprisingly the same two as Qi Chen. When he saw this, Qi Chen responded in surprise,
“So, something major is about to happen?”
“Nothing major, really. After all, the power within these divination cards isn’t particularly strong. The results they predict shouldn’t pertain to overly powerful entities. But what exactly will happen?”
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan spoke. Although it’s relatively vague, these divination results can’t compare to what Agunas could see. If he really wanted to know, asking Agunas when the time comes would reveal everything.
Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Veronia smiled slightly and said,
“Who knows if Agunas can directly see the truth～”
Looking at Gladys on the podium, Veronia said, intuition telling it that the thing Gladys wanted to reveal to Feng Yuan was related to this divination result. This could be why the cards managed to predict the outcome.
“Such a bother, huh. We’ll only know after school what’s really going on.”
Sighing, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Even though if he really wanted to, there are ways for him to uncover the truth, he felt it was unnecessary. After all, it seemed that the things the Divination Cards could involve wouldn’t pose too much of a threat.
After that, Gladys took turns explaining the information contained within their cards. Of course, what specifically they referred to, aside from those like Qi Chen who were familiar and could instantly see through the truth, remained quite vague. Not even those directly involved might know what it pertains to.
But even so, no one was dissatisfied. The excitement of conducting their first divination overshadowed any other emotions. Finally waiting until the half-day’s end, Feng Yuan directly walked to the podium and looked at Gladys, saying,
“Now can you tell us? What exactly do you want to tell me?”
With a mysterious smile, Gladys looked at those students who hadn’t left yet and said,
“Are you sure you want to discuss it here? Blind confidence can bring about disaster～”
With a cold snort, Agunas waved its Little Claw, creating a Barrier separating other students from them. Seeing this, Gladys spread her hands and said,
“Okay, other than wanting to greet you, there’s also something else to tell you: there’s going to be an anomaly at Chongshan Town.”
“Chongshan Town?!”
“I knew it, there’s something wrong with that place.”
Unlike Agunas, who was surprised, Feng Yuan touched his chin and didn’t find it strange at all. After all, he already knew about the anomalies with those small mined gems. Knowing now that trouble was brewing there wasn’t surprising; he looked at Gladys and asked,
“So, do you know roughly when, and what’s going to happen?”
“In about two days, another reality will converge with our reality there. At that time, a passageway to an abandoned world will appear there. The collision of these two worlds will cause many people and Spirit Beasts to be lost in that abandoned world. Of course, as for more specific measures, I don’t know. All this prophecy information was from Mulati.”
Not holding back, Gladys spoke up, causing Agunas’s expression to change as it shouted in surprise,
“What you say is true!!!”
