Chapter 944 267: Kael's Teasing, the Dean's Invitation, and the Springtime of War Mages (10K)
Receiving affirmation from his teacher, Kael took the Magic Robe sewn by Luxius from the box and donned it.
Amidst the focused gazes from the audience, there were those who rejoiced in his success, those who envied, and those who were jealous...
Those emotions that were well-hidden in the past were completely exposed to Kael's perception as he became increasingly capable of controlling his own bloodline's influence.
However, this time, as he faced them, Kael's mood turned more tranquil instead.
He always knew what he should do; at this moment, what he needed to do was exude the confidence of a candidate for Magic Monarch, representing himself, representing Ingles, representing the Federation, and proclaim to the whole world—
I came, I saw, I conquered!
At this moment, it is the time for me to officially become the Magic Monarch!
As he looked at the dazzling light shimmering on the Monarch Robe, many mages in the back rows couldn't help but show expressions of envy on their faces.
This is the ultimate dream that many mages have yearned to achieve all their lives, yet it has now been realized by a young mage so much younger than them.
Saying they are not envious is impossible.
As for jealousy, saying it doesn't exist is also impossible, but when the King's Robe was draped over Kael and all the Magic Monarchs remained silent, they instantly realized the outcome was set.
Apart from Kael himself, no one could stop him from becoming the Magic Monarch of the new era.
In their envy, they couldn't help but inch slightly closer to where Kael was, as if by drawing nearer, they could get a little closer to Kael, who was surrounded by a group of Magic Monarchs...
Even in their current frustration, they seemed to be able to absorb a bit of the boundless talent from the new Magic Monarch.
And at the back of the venue, Nasilia, who quietly joined the festival, looked on at the scene with some envy.
She didn't really understand what this festival meant to the mages, but she instinctively envied the feeling of being able to strive towards an ideal with determination amidst the throng of people.
If she could also stand on that high platform, perhaps it would be quite an interesting experience?
Nasilia couldn't help but think like this.
Her gaze swept over the group of people sitting with her.
A large part of this group consisted of workers from the world's media industry, holding a low-spec version of the Communication Crystal, the Recording Crystal, intently watching the scene before them.
They strained to stand on their tiptoes, trying to ensure their devices could capture more of the scene.
If possible, they wished they could push aside those damn mages and rush to the new Helois Monarch, hoping to get firsthand news from this young person, who might further elevate the mage profession.
Perhaps, even before the Mage Festival concluded, stories of him would begin to circulate outside, just like how the teacher of the Helois Monarch, Luxius Monarch, became the darling of all major city media decades ago!
What? You ask why it's only the big cities?
There's no way around it; it's the limitation of the era. Other than those big cities, towns are like being offline, with hardly any media industry taking root. National media in recording such significant events won't be as eye-catching as the entertainment reporters of big cities.
However, Kael was clearly not paying attention to these trivial matters now.
His focus had already moved beyond here.
After crossing this mountain, there will be a higher mountain.
By that time, the challenges he needs to face will be different stories altogether, and not these.
Amidst the crowd's attention, Kael quickly learned from his teacher Luxius the procedures for ascending to Magic Monarch.
From the theoretical standpoint alone, Kael had already convinced the vast majority of the Magic Monarchs present, and those who hadn't been convinced were essentially just being stubborn due to other external factors.
In fact, among the Magic Monarchs present today, there were even two from The Papal State of Brinia. In theory, the relations between Holy Brinia and the Yibel Federation are so hostile that there's no reason for them to send people.
But isn't playing by the rules exactly what they're doing? They aren't intimidated by your Federation at all.
People, they must send directly over, so just ask whether you'll admit them or not.
The Federation's response to this was simple and straightforward.
Allow them! Why not?
Not only will I let you in, but I'll also place your Magic Monarchs in the front of the VIP seats, and have their old acquaintance, Bartlet Monarch, accompany them personally. What can you possibly do?
Don't tell me anyone actually thinks two Magic Monarchs could cause trouble in Golden City?
Are we to assume the six Magic Monarchs of the Federation are dead?
Not only will I invite you in, but I'll also let you sit in the best seats, to personally witness our Federation's genius being crowned Magic Monarch. What can you possibly do?
The facts proved...
Nothing could be done!
"The list of final reviewers for your related theories has already been confirmed, but you don't need to worry about this at all. The final review is merely a final check by the Magic Monarchs.
When the time comes, different Magic Monarchs from eight countries will be sent, representing various factions to review your work. And to add, I'm responsible for the review from the Federation, so you've already got your first vote secured.
