Chapter 28: Report To the Association

Valle escaped without any hesitation. His heart was filled with terror as he scolded Nolan for giving him inaccurate information.

‘Just slightly stronger than him? That Andrew can easily defeat a spell that contains a portion of the laws. His strength is far above mine!’

‘He’s just a little bit away from the realm of a great mage.’

There was only endless regret in Valle’s heart! He didn’t even dare to think of taking revenge! Because he knew that the mysterious Honorary President of Rafax City would become a great mage sooner than he would!

…

After joining the Rafax City’s Magic Association branch for nearly three months, Andrew attended the Association’s meeting for the first time. Of course, it was also because the topic of this discussion was indeed related to him.

“I think the problem is no longer serious.”

A female mage sitting beside Andrew with a fiery red rose emblem embroidered on her forehead stood up.

“In any case, our Association has the upper hand in both force and moral righteousness.”

“The man from Headquarters has been defeated by Mr. Smith, who I reckon was hired by Faerun City to help. Now that Faerun City is in the wrong and can’t defeat us by force, there’s nothing they can do to us.”

“Yes.”

“That makes sense.”

When she said this, the expressions of the people in the meeting eased up a lot.

“That’s right.”

Lanza’s expression became much better.

“Mr. Smith, it’s all thanks to you that our Association was able to survive this calamity.”

After he finished speaking, he looked around and was a little hesitant.

“I think about it carefully, there’s still something wrong…”

“What did you discover?”

Andrew turned his head and asked. He was in a state of multitasking. On one hand, he was simulating the vibration of the fire element in his sea of consciousness, while on the other hand, he was paying attention to the meeting.

Lanza received Andrew’s approval and was greatly encouraged.

“I think that Valle came here to stand up for Faerun City on his own accord. If it is someone from the Headquarters, even if Mr. Smith refused to be escorted to the Headquarters, there’s no need to make a move.”

“Both parties are advanced mages. As Valle is about to become a great mage, he certainly does not act rashly at this time. And if the Association did let him take on such a simple task, the reward would not offset the loss of fighting against a mage of the same level.”

“Moreover, there’s also a problem with the accountability process. Normally, they should first inform the person in charge of our Association’s branch, and then I’ll pass the news to Mr. Smith.”

“But Valle wanted to personally take him away from the start. There’s a problem.”

For a moment, everyone was stunned. Then, they revealed doubtful expressions.

“Mr. Smith, you don’t have to worry too much about this matter. We will verify it with the Headquarters later. You should just focus on cultivating as before,” Lanza said seriously.

At this moment, he was also feeling some lingering fear. Although it was very likely that Valle was not sent by the Headquarters, his strength was indeed superior to the entire Rafax City Association. If it was not for Mr. Smith’s presence, things might have gotten out of hand!

“Yes, I know.”

Andrew was also slightly relieved. If he had to go against the entire Association Headquarters, Andrew knew very well that he was courting death!

“I’ll leave it to all of you this time.”

“Then I’ll take my leave first. I still have some matters to attend to.”

After that, he left the meeting room under everyone’s unsurprised expressions. He opened the magic crystal training room and impatiently began to meditate.

‘This is arcane?’

Andrew was thinking about the previous battle scene. Although the other party had been completely crushed by him without being able to retaliate, Andrew could also see the tyranny of the laws.

‘The power of this scythe storm spell itself isn’t particularly strong. However, under the support of the incomplete wind-type laws, it only used a little magic power to enter the meeting hall that covered nearly two to three hundred square meters.’

Andrew pondered. If he wanted to create such a powerful suppressive force through fire-type magic, he would have to expend nearly half of his magic power! It was clear how powerful the laws were!

At this moment, Andrew’s heart was filled with eagerness. He focused all his attention on recalling the vibration of the wind element in the air earlier and verified the techniques that could be used in conjunction with the fire element laws.

‘If I want to temper the vibration of the elements, I don’t have to put in more mental energy. Instead, I have to use the wavelength of the elements themselves?’

Andrew quickly discovered the crux under the enhancement of his hundredfold talent. Unable to wait any longer, he used his spiritual energy to once again control the magic power in the nodes in his body. As expected, he discovered that within a specific wavelength, he could use less than half of his spiritual power to cause the magic power in his body to vibrate at a special frequency.

‘It’s effective indeed.’

He was overjoyed.

As Andrew operated, the range of the elemental vibrations in the magic nodes rapidly expanded. However, even though he had saved half of his spiritual power, Andrew still found that the vibrations were still stuck on the special fire element that mobilized the fire spirit. He refused to give in and used up all his spiritual power. However, the extremely pure power of the fire spirit did not move at all.

‘Huff…’

Andrew struggled for a long time. In the end, he could only helplessly open his eyes and let out the turbid air in his body.

‘I still can’t operate it.’

He tried his best to recall the properties of the incomplete wind elemental laws that he had previously observed Valle using. However, no matter how he thought about it, he was unable to apply them to his current predicament.

‘That scythe storm started from the two tiniest wind blades to form the resonance evolution of the elements, and then expanded rapidly. That’s a pretty good idea.’

He tried his best to recall, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

‘Oh right, if I were to use this idea when cultivating the law, would it work?’

‘Although the fire spirit is now a whole before it was awakened, it existed in the form of fragments!’

Immediately, Andrew had an idea, and the fire spirit instinctively sensed a trace of malice, it trembled slightly.

‘Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.’

With a thought, Andrew shattered the fire spirit that had already awakened its consciousness, but he knew he could assemble it at any time. Then, Andrew picked a fragment of the fire spirit and used his spiritual power to crush it, until it turned into a single fire element.

‘Then, I’ll try again.’

Andrew slowly injected his spiritual strength. This time, although he felt a great resistance, it made Andrew happy. This was because it was finally no longer the scene where no matter how much he injected his spiritual strength, he could not shake it.

‘Move!’

Andrew gritted his teeth and increased the output of his spiritual strength. Finally, the pure fire element that formed the fire spirit successfully followed Andrew’s instructions

His will began to vibrate at a specific frequency.

‘Is it done?’

A gratified smile appeared on Andrew’s face. However, in the next second, his expression froze. This was because he had once again heard the voice that had changed his fate.

[Congratulations on your initial exploration of the rules of the elemental domain, Host.]
