Spirit Taming

Chapter 369: Prepared Recovery

"Currently there are about forty different people or groups trying to reach your group. Should I tell them that you can meet them?" Professor Wright was acting as the wall that protected her group of students from all the interested groups.

The major amount of attention that was coming towards Clark's group wasn't only because of their business. It was strength. The moment that they had discovered that their attempts to work with Ella had been stopped because she was involved in a business with the Rolly family, they had changed their focus.

Furthermore, they all knew that the members of this business were no other than the geniuses in the first year battles. Mainly Clark and Maria. The healer who could battle head on with others was a major figure already. But Clark as a new dragon tamer with an unknown beast also made massive waves. That was when they weren't gossiping about his physical prowess.

"Thank you for keeping them away. Ella will need to rest for a while. I know she is still asleep now but she should wake up any moment. She definitely took some potions to help her recovery over the last few days. I would be lying if I didn't expect her to have prepared to recover energy already."

As if to make Clark and everyone else praise her more, Ella opened her eyes just a few seconds later. It was almost as if she had panned it out. However, it was another hour before she actually started to move and get herself up again.

"You missed it, just now Professor Wright wanted us to speak with a bunch of people." Isa was teasing a little but she was sure that she would be speaking with people whether the group liked it or not.

"Stop messing around. We have a lot more to do than set up a business here. The fourth year battles should start any moment. Ella's older brother and the other fourth years will be fighting. I heard they are three people down though." Clark had an annoyed expression while thinking of Maria who also had an older brother that would be there. He wanted to beat him to a pulp.

To get his true revenge for what he had done to his parents.

"Clark heard correctly, the fourth years lost three of their team to law breaking. Apparently three of them went to intimidate a few students instead of team up with. The three have been brought for punishment with Nova academy supporting it. A few other representatives of the larger families also supported it.

However, I believed that a certain family will be angry to see two Cain family members and another lackey that I heard bullied some first years was taken for punishment."

Since Clark remembered the annoying fourth year that Devi had bitten while he had been looking for his new teammates at the time, he was rather happy. If that guy was getting punished with two Cain family members, then it made sense. They had clearly been ordered by Maria's older brother to assert some form of dominance.

Unfortunately, that was a dumb move since Nebula had already said it was not taking any drama like that.

For Clark though, it was a good thing. That was most likely one of the largest reasons that there had not been anyone coming to look for trouble with him or his group. It was already known that they would be keeping an eye for a chance to cause trouble with Maria. The Mourne family had to hate that a child they threw away was doing very well for herself. Let alone better than they were in some ways.

"We can try to meet with the Nebula students though. I will see if Illia will introduce us since a few of her team already appear disinterested in beast planning. But before that, I think we should see what will happen about that snow dancer guy. Will there be a ceremony?" Clark was thinking about connections. Clara had made it clear that connections would be important.

"I'll go see his grave if that's what you mean." Ralph spoke up. He was looking seriously at everyone. "He threw himself right in to danger so that he could beat those monsters. If everyone was like him then maybe there would be less death in the world." The honest feelings that Ralph had for this convinced anyone that could have been on the fence about it.

"I will let guards know. There is an ice carving ceremony being held tonight for every student that did not survive the tournament. Nebula has said that their best students would carve their figures in to the ice that would remain within their academy for the next year. It is very respectful." Professor Wright didn't hide her own feelings for this act.

It was pure respect and admiration for doing this even though it could be seen as a political move.

"That's that then. Now we need to watch the Ethereal academy students get beaten by the Nebula students and Ella's older brother." Jerold looked around and surprised everyone by breaking his own silence. However, they could tell he was not excited for the matches but to see this debacle come to an end. He had already jumped to get his own revenge.

Unfortunately, there were still ethereal academy students around. They were still present and that meant people could die.

"We should go see the battle. I just have no idea what the fourth year students in Nebula will be like." Grace sounded like she hadn't heard much at all. This meant that they were all in the same boat. Not that Brad had said much. But they didn't expect him to when it came to this.

He had been much more focused on his possessed helm and the random materials that he had been adding to his taming space when he was trying to meditate while sitting still.

"Then If Ella is ready, let's go back to the stands. The Nebula students were asking about you when I came." Professor Wright waited a moment before she saw Ella stand up. The fact that the Nebula students had asked about them said a lot. That even though Clark's group was from Nova academy, that they had nee accepted.

Returning to the seats where they had been, this time with Ella, brought about a loud range of cheering. The entire audience was focused on the battle going on. Mainly a Nebula academy student fighting against one of the Ethereal academy students. It appeared that Nova had forgone this match the same way that Ethereal had done so before to reserve energy until the end.

'Giant white moth- ultra rare

The giant white moth is a very unique beast that starts out as an egg that hatches in to a moth. It is not actually a moth but closely resembles one. Most people just do not know this. The reason it is called a giant is because it can grow up to ten times the size of the ice falcon that it fights for territory.

They are strong ice type beasts that are able to blend in to the snow on mountaintops. It is rare to see more than one together since it is very territorial. When it flies, it will shake its wings to bring in the moisture of the air and cause a localized snowfall. The snow may fall in a small area, but it is able to blind their opponents.

The best way to defeat one is to damage its wings. When forced to the ground they are slow unless they are made to open their mouths showing their vicious needle like teeth. This is another thing that proves they are not truly a moth.'

From where Clark was, he could see the massive giant white moth that was at least three times the size of the tamer which had a shield and morning star to fight the Ethereal academy student. It also appeared that a beast that Clark was having trouble getting a look at had already been killed on the stage leaving just the injured ethereal academy student left.

"He is not the best fourth year we have. That is just one of the weaker pens that recently left homeschooling in the guard academy section of our overarching academy. If you didn't know, we split our academy in to schools. The guards make up a quarter of all our students." Illia had seen the group return and stood up to greet them. She seemed very pleased that they had returned.

"Your match was brilliant. I believe I have learned a great deal about battles and planning just by witnessing it. I will also speak with the third years to see how the Gemini beast is able to grow in that state. I am also curious." Ella met Illias' praise with a handshake and started to ask about her beasts.

Before Illia knew what she had welcomed in to her conversation, she was trapped as Ella recorded notes.
