The Geared Immortal

Chapter 949

(Unedited)

…

Ginlong Grav is a 23-year-old young man and has a half-Asian, half-European appearance. Tall and long nose bridge, coupled with small almond green eyes, and a thing slightly reddish lips. He is the epitome of handsomeness in the academy and is being idolized by many female students.

Ginlong Grav is the direct descendant of the current king of the kingdom and 5th in line. Although he has not much accomplishment in the realm of battle and being a mage, his accomplishment lies in mage array and alchemy potion.

He has been praised in the academy as one of the geniuses who have already received an invitation from the Tower of Light.

Since young, Ginlong Grav did not include himself in the scheming of the court and has distanced himself from his brothers and sisters. He has been focused and more interested in potion brewing and arrays. Most of his time is spent in the laboratory and he is seldom seen outside of the academy.

But today it so happens that Duke Kunglao's daughter visited him today, so he has no choice but to agree to go out with her and her friends. Lily Kunglao, the daughter of Duke Conrad Kunglao is the fiancée of Ginlong Grav. So he has no choice but to escort the lady.

They have been roaming around the city while Lily Kunglao tried to boast to her friends about her very handsome and capable fiancée. Though Ginlong Grav did not like it, he has no choice but to follow. He is not an irrational man and is always following the customs.

And so he has no choice but to interact with the group and show faint smiles once in a while.

The whole day was a bit tiring and he felt that everything is annoying. He has not faced his experiments for the whole day now and feels a bit annoyed about it.

But suddenly, he saw a group of a crowd near the academy gate and it seems that they are slandering someone.

The man seems to be angry upon hearing the woman's voice and turned a bit hostile. With a flick of his hand, a fireball suddenly formed.

Upon seeing this, the crowd suddenly backs away and clearing a small area where Fung Gaofan and the four in front of him are the only ones left in the middle.

"Gaofan, you really are shameless… and short-sighted. I was wondering why my friend liked you back then. And since she is not willing to give herself to you, you resorted to this… Haha… What a funny fellow." Cao Binyu said with a smirk as she suddenly flicks her hand and a shield appears in front of her.

"You are slandering me… You peasant woman! I would show you that, we the Fungs are not easily looked down upon by peasants like you!" he shouted at Cao Binyu.

Cao Binyu is also a woman who likes to face her problems head-on. She might be a peasant, and poor, but that does not mean she can easily give up.

Right now, the shield in front of her was formed by using the array she works hard on and some material she bought with her meager earnings.

The shield might not be as strong as other shields, but she is already proud of it.

The rest of the people did not want to involve themselves in this battle, except for the two other women beside Cao Binyu the rest has already taken a few meters of steps more away from the group.

Ji Yaoling and Ting Fanwan also take out their mage shields and glared at the shameless man in front of them.

This humiliation is already hurting his pride, so Fung Gaofan is already angered to the extreme. He wanted to now teach these low-level women in front of him so that they would learn how to respect a man in the future.

He cast his fireball and it flew immediately to the three. The people knew that this is a level 3 fireball and those level 1 shields would not be able to hold its prowess. They can only shake their heads in the stupidity of these women.

How could they not know that a level 3 fireball is not that easy to defend against? They can just blame their stupidity and lack of awareness at this time.

As the fireball flew closer, the three has already realized their mistake. But they could not back down anymore and just gritted their teeth and held their mage shield in front of them.

"Gravity, compression, control…" suddenly three words were written in the air and these three words seem to float and then transformed into a small translucent orb.

The orb suddenly exuded a powerful suction force that seems to have restrained the fireball in the air. Then the fireball was slowly absorbed by the translucent orb as the orb slowly turned crimson red.

It did not take long before the fireball disappeared and a small crystal ball fell to the ground. Inside the crystal ball is a compressed fireball burning brightly in the dark.

Everyone gasps in astonishment as they look at the handsome youth beside the three girls. They did not know what he did, but all they had seen are the symbols that he wrote in the air which suddenly turned that bright and powerful fireball into a small crystal ball.

"Array… res… restriction array…" the mouth of Ginlong Grav could not help but shiver in delight.

He unconsciously walks to the side of Shin Jiao and carefully looks at the small crystal ball.

"This… How is this done?" he muttered in astonishment.

Shin Jiao just looks at the handsome young man the people are calling the 5th prince.

And he also knew that this person named Fung Gaofan has done this to attract this prince's attention. For whatever the reason is, Shin Jiao did not like what that guy Fung Gaofan did, so he unceremoniously flicks that crystal ball towards Fung Gaofan.

The unexpected move from Shin Jiao caught everyone off-guard. It just seems like he was tossing the crystal ball to Fung Gaofan, however, what happened next made everyone's jaw drop in shock. 

Boom!

The explosion rocked the place and a figure could be seen flying towards the school gate.

The figure is enveloped in fire and it made everyone gasped in disbelief.

"Are you three alright?" Shin Jiao asked the three women who looks at him with a slacked jaw.

No one could say anything at this point, and those so-called peers of the guy did not say anything and just left the area.

How could they fight against someone who could casually defeat a 3rd level mage? When they saw that fireball, they did not even think of blocking its path as they knew that they would not be able to escape that kind of attack unscathed.

But this guy just casually writes something in the air and then the fireball was gone. Then he casually tosses the crystal and it blew Fung Gaofan like he was nothing. So how could they fight against someone like that?

No one knew that Shin Jiao is unable to use magic at this point in time. If the physique is questioned, he is not that weak as his physique thought being restrained still reached the Grand Magus level. However, though he could not use mana or magic does not mean he could not borrow the power of nature itself.

Using arrays and formations, he could still fight like a regular mage.

The commotion has gathered more onlookers, so the group decided to continue walking to the academy. Meanwhile, Fung Gaofan picks himself up in shame and directly walks away with deep indignation in his heart.

He glares at Shin Jiao one last time before getting on a carriage and left the academy.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and the three girls walk into the admittance building of the academy. But right behind them follows a handsome young man which has already attracted many people's attention. Behind that young man is a beautiful young woman showing a deep frown on her face.

How could the daughter of the duke, Lily Kunglao accept such a thing? She actually loses the interest of her fiancée over some words written in the air. Though it is magical and very interesting, yet she could believe that it has gained more of the 5th prince's attention rather than being with her.

It was too absurd that she wanted to snap at the prince. But then she dares not, so her hatred is directed towards that handsome young man.

…

Meanwhile, in the registration corner, Shin Jiao has already given his name and has been tested for mana and magic prowess. In the testing plate, it shows that he is a level 1 mage which astonished everyone as he was able to fight against a 3rd level mage.

But then upon learning that he is proficient in arrays, crafting, and alchemy, the people around him nodded their heads in understanding.

And that was the first day of Shin Jiao's time in Alto Magus Academy…
