Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 329 - 104 Meteorite Ruins

At eight in the morning, a special dark gold floating ship, shaped like a whale, slowly hovered above the plaza.

Pamir’s Ninth Rank dean made his first personal appearance, explaining to the many students the thousands of years of development history of the Pamir Grand Competition and the rules of this competition.

The academy competition in Pamir uses a point system, specifically divided into individual and team points, with each mode calculated separately, aiming to evaluate the comprehensive abilities of the students.

The competition proceeded in team mode, with a maximum of ten members per team, and all members of the winning team would obtain the same team points.

Moreover, based on the specific advanced schools of the students, they further differentiated between combat points and logistics points, distributing them to individuals based on their specific contributions.

After the dean finished speaking, everyone applauded warmly.

Subsequently, the ship emitted a bright light, transporting everyone on the square into the ship. The massive floating ship slowly ascended and disappeared into the clouds.

The exact location of the Meteorite Ruins is in Magna Province, southeast of the Empire. It will take about two Magic Hours to reach there at the speed of this special floating ship.

After finding her cabin on the floating ship for Fiona, Anvis unexpectedly encountered Claire.

The pure gold-haired Half-Elf stood in front of a window, her hands propped on the silver frame of the window, her upper body slightly leaning forward, quietly looking out of the window with that same lonely appearance.

Upon noticing the girl, Anvis’s first reaction was to glance outside the window.

Fortunately, since there was more than one Ninth Rank on this ship, almost all the flying Magic Beasts that wanted to pounce were driven away.

Unusual celestial phenomena near the route, such as thunderclouds, spatial distortions, and elemental turbulence, were also wiped out by the Ninth Ranks on board just as they began to emerge.

"Hello, Claire—"

Having confirmed this, Anvis relaxed once again and stepped forward to greet the girl.

"Anvis?"

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, the girl turned her head, her ocean-clear eyes revealing a hint of delight.

"Come to think of it, this is our second time riding together on a floating vessel, isn’t it?"

Standing beside Claire, Anvis gazed out of the window at the view in the tens of thousands of meters high sky, speaking with a relaxed tone.

"The second time?"

The Half-Elf girl tilted her head slightly, her fair pointed ears fluttering with a bit of confusion.

"Yes, the second time. Do you still remember last year’s New Year Festival, the ’Silver Marbled Flower’ airship that was attacked by the flying Magic Beast flock?"

Gazing far out the window, as a group of small black dots that had been approaching suddenly changed direction, Anvis spoke in a melancholy tone.

"You were on that airship as well?"

Hearing Anvis’s reply, Claire looked at him with some surprise.

"...Wait! Was it your Guard who drove away that flock of Grey Wing Terror Birds?"

Saying this, the girl suddenly realized.

"That’s right, it was indeed my Guard who acted then."

Watching the girl’s eyes shifted from confusion to surprise, Anvis smiled with pleasure, answering her query.

After that, Anvis and Claire continued to casually chat in front of the window.

Anvis, with memories from his previous life and a personality fond of reading, had a rich knowledge reserve.

And Claire, due to her own ’Curse’ and having grown up in the Mage Tower, had also read a lot about various knowledge of the continent.

Their conversation covered a vast range of topics, from the prehistoric creatures in the Sea of Relics to the eternal Aurora in the sky above the Extreme North Ice Plain.

Towards the end, both were surprised by the breadth of each other’s knowledge, feeling a sense of meeting a kindred spirit.

It wasn’t until the floating ship was about to reach the ruins, when Fiona, holding Kate, came out looking for Anvis, that the two in conversation were brought back to their senses.

"Let me introduce you, this is Claire, my senior sister from the Mysterious School."

"This is my sister, Fiona."

"Hello" x2 freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Anvis introduced the two girls to each other, and the two girls shook hands in a friendly manner.

"Meow~~"

As they shook hands, Kate also stretched out a fluffy little paw to greet the half-elf girl.

"Her name is Kate, and she seems to like you a lot."

Noticing the reaction of the blue-grey kitten in her arms, Fiona looked curiously at the half-elf girl.

"...Really?"

Claire blinked, thought for a moment, and then suddenly stretched out two fingers to shake hands with the kitten too.

"Meow~"

Kate meowed cutely again, seeming very happy.

"Senior Claire, when I’m not with Fiona, could you help take care of her a bit?"

Watching the interaction between the two girls, Anvis suddenly spoke up, his face showing a harmless smile.

"Of course, no problem, but I may not even be able to take care of myself most of the time."

The half-elf girl was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled, but she still agreed.

"That’s alright, senior, just do your best."

Hearing Claire’s reply, Anvis nodded, seemingly pleased that the girl had agreed.

"Brother, it’s really not necessary! I’ve grown up, I can take care of myself!"

At this moment, Fiona also spoke up, expressing dissatisfaction with Anvis’s words.

Glancing at Claire, who was a ’Third Rank beginner’, she held back from saying that she was almost breaking through to Fourth Rank, stronger than her brother.

"Yes, Fiona has also grown up."

Startled for a moment, Anvis wore a gentle smile and nodded toward the girl holding the kitten.

"So, let’s leave it at that."

At that moment, the scenery outside the window suddenly began to sink.

During their conversation, the floating ship had completely arrived at the Meteorite Ruins.

.........

Honestly, it feels odd to be on the same ship with so many Pamir students.

Among the students of Pamir are many Children of Destiny. A large group of growing heroes on the same ship, if there weren’t multiple Ninth Rank suppressing them, accidents would surely have happened already.

For Anvis, a prophet whose rank is infinitely close to High Rank, due to his faint sense of the immense fate aura on the ship,

it felt like an ordinary person sitting on a missile made of gold, somewhat envious yet simultaneously heart-pounding.

After many students disembarked, Anvis could faintly feel the Net of Destiny seemed to produce a slight fluctuation.

However, soon, his attention was drawn to the ruins before him.

In the gigantic crater of nearly a hundred kilometers, an irregularly shaped city ruin, stretching for tens of kilometers, jutted out, tilted within.

This was still the result of the Empire’s Ninth Ranks reducing the impact damage as much as possible, otherwise, this crash would have been enough to cause another major tear in the Yar Continent.

The ruins are largely intact due to some unknown force, with one side showing irregular torn marks. Through the gap, one could still vaguely see some internal structures.

From the external architecture, this ruin indeed has the rich style of Sky City.
