Chapter135-Why Should She? This Must Be Fake!
At that moment, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky.
Band instinctively looked up.
He saw a huge white figure diving towards their location.
It was only then that Band remembered this place was used to receive spell beasts.
More specifically, he and Ina hadn't even left the spell beast landing area yet.
So, the only thing that could be coming here now would be a spell beast!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Such a terrifying presence...
Band immediately grabbed Ina, and the two quickly moved a hundred meters away.
At this point, Ina had no idea what was going on. To her, it felt like one moment, she was standing there, and the next, Band was pulling her aside. She felt somewhat bewildered.
The snow eagle landed on the ground, and all the spell beasts nearby immediately sensed an overwhelming pressure.
They all lowered their heads, afraid to look directly.
Even the spell beast that Ina had been riding on did the same.
It trembled, not daring to move.
After a brief moment, Daniel and the others dismounted from the snow eagle's back.
The snow eagle then transformed into human form.
Such a scene left even the managers here in stunned silence.
After all, it was the first time they had witnessed a spell beast of this caliber in Sunken City over the years.
Just as the snow eagle landed, the manager instinctively felt fear.
In fact, if the snow eagle had wanted to strike at him in that moment, he would have had no time to react.
The people around them shared the same feeling.
They all felt as though they had narrowly escaped a disaster.
Once the fear subsided, curiosity took over.
Who could possibly be riding such a powerful spell beast?
And... did the spell beast actually transform?
Dozens of figures appeared in front of the crowd.
Upon seeing these unfamiliar faces, everyone began to speculate.
Who exactly were these people?
"I didn't expect Whitey to cause such a big stir around here…"
Rose remarked as she observed the reactions of the crowd.
Whitey—this was the name Nina had given to the snow eagle back then, and it had been used ever since.
Hearing Rose's words, the snow eagle, now in human form, proudly lifted its head.
The group prepared to leave.
However, when they turned to check on Eileen, they noticed she hadn't followed.
Instead, she was standing still, staring in a certain direction.
There, an old man was holding a young girl, who was also staring at Eileen.
"Band Uncle..."
Eileen muttered softly.
"I… it's me!"
Band never expected to see Eileen here. He had just heard about her from Ina not long ago.
The last time he saw Eileen was many years ago, when she was forced to leave the family and go to Karea Academy.
Back then, she was just a little girl.
He couldn't help but wonder how Eileen had fared over the years...
At this moment, Band had completely forgotten that Ina was still beside him.
"What's this? Familiar faces?"
Daniel asked, looking at Eileen.
Eileen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"No, Daniel Headmaster, I... I have nothing to do with them anymore."
After saying that, she rejoined Daniel and the others.
Daniel only glanced back at the elderly man and young girl before saying nothing.
After all, it was their personal matter.
The group moved on toward the exit.
Band stood there, gazing in the direction where Eileen had vanished, sighing deeply.
Years had passed...
Eileen seemed just as he remembered her, as if nothing had changed.
But... he knew it was no use.
The past could never return.
Eileen was no longer part of the family.
Standing beside Band, Ina stared at this scene in a daze.
She couldn't understand. How could it be? How could someone who was abandoned by their family and sent to Karea Academy rise to such power?
How could she possibly encounter such powerful individuals?
And that terrifying spell beast...
Ina even remembered that when that spell beast descended from the sky, her mind had gone completely blank.
If it hadn't been for Band pulling her away, she probably would've been crushed by that spell beast.
Why?!!!
Why did that wretched person get such good luck?
Was she supposed to be bullied at Karea Academy, living with regret for being cast out of her family?
Why...
Why was she now fine, even following such powerful figures?
Ina couldn't understand.
She turned around and looked at the spell beast she had arrived on.
Initially, she had been quite satisfied with this beast, even a little proud of it.
When it landed, she had looked at the others around them as though they were nothing.
But now, with Eileen as the comparison, it seemed like a joke.
When Ina looked at her spell beast, she saw it cowering on the ground.
It was trembling, not even daring to breathe.
And there was a stench in the air—clearly, it had been so scared it had urinated.
"Impossible! No! This must be fake!"
At that moment, Ina lost all the confidence and arrogance she had felt when she first arrived here.
Only rage and doubt remained.
Band, seeing Ina's reaction, sighed and said nothing.
…
Outside House Ponton, Hayes hurriedly arrived from the academy.
He just hoped Nora hadn't gotten into any trouble.
When he stood on the deck and looked down at House Ponton, he immediately knew something had gone wrong.
From the air, it was clear that a portion of House Ponton's buildings had been completely destroyed.
There was even a crater on the ground.
From these marks, Hayes could clearly see that part of the damage had been caused by Nora, but more of it was likely due to the magic of the House Ponton members.
That meant Nora must have fought with House Ponton.
And the scale of the battle was definitely not small.
After all, for House Ponton to be damaged like this, it could not have been a minor skirmish.
Both sides must have gone all out.
Hayes had no doubt that the fool named Gurei had likely called upon House Ponton's full force.
Just thinking about it, Hayes was filled with fury.
Originally, he thought he could still control the situation, but after returning from the academy, this was the scene he was faced with.
He didn't even want to imagine what would happen if Nora had been injured and couldn't participate in the upcoming battle.
"What the hell, Gurei! Get out here!"
Hayes shouted angrily.
He used an amplified voice spell to ensure that Gurei could hear him inside House Ponton.
Normally, at this point, Gurei would have already rushed out, kneeling and begging Hayes for mercy. Explore more at empire
But today, for some unknown reason, Gurei didn't appear.
Instead, other members of House Ponton emerged from the family building.
Upon seeing Hayes, they all remembered that he was the prominent figure from Karea Academy who had visited a few days ago.
