I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 10 Flying Peak

"It smells so good." Locke took the glass and, at Shi Daohan's prompting, took a small sip, only to choke and cough uncontrollably as soon as it went down his throat.

He wasn't unfamiliar with alcohol, but this was the first time he had ever tasted such a strong and spicy liquor.

"How do you feel?" Shi Daohan asked, raising an eyebrow.

How about that? Locke looked utterly defeated. He couldn't very well say that the liquor was like gasoline, so spicy that he felt like his mouth was on fire, could he?

"Why... do I feel so dizzy!" Locke swayed as he sat back down in his chair.

"I'm sorry, I might be a bit nosy, but we're classmates after all, and I feel it's necessary to help you out."

Shi Daohan sighed softly, then stared into Locke's eyes and asked, "How did you get that scar on your head?"

Locke sat blankly in the chair, looking lost, but upon hearing Shi Daohan's question, a wisp of blood suddenly oozed from the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts! My head hurts so much!"

He gasped in shock, then fell off the chair, curled up on the ground, clutching his head and groaning.

Shi Daohan frowned. What secret did that scar hold? It was like a taboo subject, something that couldn't be discussed.

"Alright, stop thinking about it and get some rest." Shi Daohan gently stroked Locke's forehead, purifying the overflowing crimson light.

Locke had also fallen into a deep sleep, his bangs soaked with cold sweat.

Shi Daohan squatted down beside him, brushed aside the bangs on his forehead, stared intently at the lightning-shaped scar, no bigger than a finger joint, and remained silent.

Just then, another wisp of black energy seeped out from the scar and lingered in the room.

Shi Daohan's eyes were icy: "Are you provoking me? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Today I'll see what kind of thing you really are!" Shi Daohan sneered, pointing a finger at his own mind, while placing his other hand on Locke's forehead, ready to directly probe the other's memories.

However, as soon as her consciousness entered Locke's sea of ​​consciousness, it encountered a fierce and domineering force and was immediately forced back.

"Bang"

As his consciousness returned, Shi Daohan was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall with a "bang," and a bloody gash appeared on his forehead, with a few drops of blood oozing out.

Shi Daohan touched his forehead, looked at the bloodstains on his hands, and frowned.

That power was extremely yin, evil, and ferocious, dozens of times more terrifying than the ancient demons she had encountered before.

What's even more terrifying is that it wasn't the true source, but merely a restriction.

"Such a bizarre thing is something most people wouldn't even encounter, even if they stepped in dog poop. How come you happened to run into it, and it just so happened to attach itself to you?"

Shi Daohan looked at the unconscious Locke, her heart filled with doubt.

Locke's physical constitution and talent were relatively mediocre, not particularly outstanding. She couldn't figure out what that evil power attached to Locke's body was trying to do.

"Little guy, you really know how to give me a tough time."

Shi Daohan picked up the wine gourd and gulped down several large mouthfuls. The bloodstain on his forehead quickly healed without leaving any trace.

Without harming Locke, Shi Daohan was not entirely confident that he could break the restriction within Locke's sea of ​​consciousness.

Moreover, even if the restriction is broken, the evil power within it is something she cannot currently deal with.

That's an existence even more terrifying than a thousand-year-old demon. Unless her cheap master personally intervenes, no one else can help.

Seeing the wisp of black mist still drifting and lingering in the room, Shi Daohan suddenly became angry and directly annihilated it with a sword finger.

"Give me a few more years, and I refuse to believe I can't cure this evil spirit of yours." Shi Daohan said this fiercely before leaving Locke's room.

In the dead of night, all was quiet. Under the cold moonlight, a purple flying sword slowly glided across the sky, and a young girl sat on the sword, drinking with the moon.

"It's neither a ghost nor a powerful demon that has achieved great cultivation, so what exactly is it? Could it be a demon from legend?" Shi Daohan muttered to himself.

This was the first time she had ever suffered a setback since her debut. She had no idea what the evil power within Locke was like and had no clue whatsoever.

What's even more infuriating is that she couldn't deal with that evil power and suffered a great loss in their first encounter. This made her quite distressed, and she really wanted to get revenge, but unfortunately, her strength wouldn't allow it.

Unbeknownst to her, inside a chapel at Horagaca College, Dean Donaldson, Academician Daniel, and a host of other high-ranking figures were watching her every move.

"Should we do something about it? She's been flying over our heads more than a dozen times already," a senior elder said with a dark expression.

It should be noted that flying is only permitted within specific areas of their Horagaka Academy, and Shi Daohan's actions have seriously violated the academy's rules.

Dean Donaldson said, "After all, they've just arrived at our academy, so it's no big deal for them to get familiar with the environment."

"So we're just going to let her break the rules like this?" Another high-ranking official also expressed his dissatisfaction.

"But aren't our current departmental rules about to disappear?"

Dean Donaldson, with a faint smile on his face, ignored Shi Daohan above his head and turned to Academician Daniel, saying, "Come on, Academician Daniel, continue to talk about what you and Academician Venus gained from this trip to Eastern China, and what your insights are on the upcoming reforms of our academy."

"I think our academy could emulate the Shushan Immortal Alliance of Eastern China..."

Academician Daniel spoke about the gains he made during his trip to Shushan, and also emphasized Shushan's "laissez-faire" approach to management.

"How come such a large academy doesn't even have a decent mountain?" Shi Daohan searched every corner of Horagaka Academy but still couldn't find an ideal mountain.

"It seems we'll have to use some magic to move one from somewhere else."

Shi Daohan released his divine consciousness, and with Horagaka Academy as the center, he manifested the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles in his mind's sea. Soon, he found a suitable mountain peak in a majestic mountain range more than sixty miles away.

That mountain peak was over a thousand feet high, soaring straight into the clouds, and its overall shape resembled a divine sword stuck upside down in the earth.

"You're the one." Shi Daohan uttered a soft shout, and a strange formation appeared beneath her feet, with ancient and mysterious runes shining brightly, exuding a mysterious power.

"Eight Gates Transport, Activate!"

With a soft shout from her, a mountain peak more than sixty miles away began to shake violently and slowly rose from the ground.

It was already late at night, but the city in the ordinary world was still brightly lit, and there were still pedestrians on the streets. They were all witnessing a truly shocking scene.

"Look! What's that?!"

"Could it be an alien UFO? I actually saw it!"

"Wait, it looks like... a mountain peak!"

"My God, am I hallucinating? A mountain peak flew by in the sky?"

"Have aliens come to Earth?"

A mountain peak over a thousand feet high slowly flew over the city, making a series of "buzzing" sounds as it broke through the wind.

Pedestrians on the street exclaimed in surprise and took out their phones to take pictures.

However, Shi Daohan, the instigator, was unaware of all this. Just as the verdant mountain peak flew over the outskirts of Horagaka Academy, she encountered a problem.

The Horagaka Academy is protected by a barrier, which kept the mountain she brought outside, preventing it from entering at all.

At the same time, an alarm rang out in the church where Dean Donaldson and other high-ranking members of the academy were located.

"What happened? Is there an enemy attack?!"

Dean Donaldson and the other high-ranking members felt a chill run down their spines. Who would launch an attack on their Horagaka Academy at this time?

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Dean Donaldson looked grave and vanished from the church in a flash.

When Shi Daohan arrived at the barrier at the edge of Horagaka Academy, Dean Donaldson and a group of high-ranking figures from the academy had already arrived. Looking at the mountain peak suspended in the air outside the barrier, each of them had a different expression.

There was tension, disdain, and confusion...

"What does this mean? Are they just sending a mountain to attack our academy? Are they toying with us?"

"Their hostility is unclear, so it's best to be cautious."

Standing at the forefront, Dean Donaldson showed a hint of suspicion on his face, having sensed the aura of Eastern immortal techniques on that mountain peak.

As the headmaster of the Horagaka Magic Academy, he had naturally come into contact with Eastern magic and saw through the trick at a glance.

With suspicion in his heart, he glanced around and sure enough, he saw Shi Daohan crouching not far away.

"Miss Daohan, aren't you going to come out and explain your masterpiece?"

"Um...I..."

Shi Daohan emerged from behind the tree, bowing her head as she approached Headmaster Donaldson, looking like a child who had done something wrong, unsure of what to say.

She rushed over as soon as the mountain peak was isolated outside the barrier, but she didn't expect that Dean Donaldson and the others had arrived at the scene before her.

"It's alright, just tell me what you want to do, I won't blame you." Dean Donaldson affectionately patted Shi Daohan's head, a kind smile on his face.

"I want to build a cave dwelling, but there isn't a suitable mountain in the academy, so I can only bring one from outside," Shi Daohan muttered softly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the dozen or so high-ranking figures behind Dean Donaldson all changed.

You should know that such a large mountain is something even they might not be able to move, yet Shi Daohan spoke of it so casually.

"You're quite capable. Even we old men struggle with such a huge mountain. How did you manage to make it fly over?" An elderly man looked at Shi Daohan with great curiosity.

"It's very simple. The Eight Gates Transfer Method can do it." Shi Daohan said without hesitation.

"The Eight Gates Transporting Technique? What kind of magic is that?"

The elderly professor turned to look at the people around him and asked them in secret.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Several high-ranking figures shook their heads, saying they had never heard of such a method, but in order to maintain their image as professors, they all nodded and pretended to understand.
