Chapter 1089 Anxious
Feeling anxious about his master, Ery could feel his dark core tremble chaotically.
Ery once again cald himself as he went through the teleportation gate that would send him straight from the Light Institute to the Darkness Institute.
Stepping out of the portal, Ery slightly rotated his hand and created a Spatial Gate heading directly to his master's place.
"Master Xion!" Ery shouted as his eyes swept the area around him, searching for the figure he wanted to see.
Unfortunately for him, the small house was empty and it looked as if no one had been around for a few weeks.
There was no indication of anything, and there was actually no reason for Ery to be this worried. However, whether it was a gut feeling or the side effect of the urge, Ery decided to go to the institute to ask about his master.
"Acolyte Ambrose, I'm sorry but I have no information about Instructor Xion's whereabouts," answered the staff.
A surprised look appeared on Ery's face. "What do you an?! ..Are you saying that you don't know where he is?"
"That's all I can say, acolyte. I'm sorry that I can't help you."
Ery was annoyed. How could they not know where Magus Xion was when the man was an official instructor of the institute whose whereabouts needed to always be known in case of ergency.
The anxiety within Ery only continued to grow receiving such answers. At that mont, Ery thought of soone who might be able to help him. Therefore he quickly accessed his privileged bracelet to contact her.
Before long, a reply ca from the other side.
[You are looking for your master? Wait there]
Leaving the Darkness Institute building, Ery made his way to the teleportation portal to wait for the person he had just contacted. A few minutes later, a familiar figure stepped out of the portal.
It was none other than Annara Vermont, a prominent figure in the Darkness Institute and the junior of Magus Xion.
Ery was about to speak, but the red-haired girl beat him to it. "You also don't know where he went, Ery? Actually, we have been looking for him too. As his disciple, I thought you knew where he was!"
The girl's way of speaking which lacked her usual teasing and jokes only made Ery grow more anxious. On the other hand, Annara's expression turned even more serious after seeing Ery's reaction.
"When was the last ti you spoke to him, Ery?"
"....before the midtest."
The answer brought a slight pain to Ery's chest. He realized the last ti he t Magus Xion was more than four months ago. At that mont, he couldn't help but think that he should have co to see his master more often.
The red-haired girl also looked unusually restless as she said, "Xion has always been a predictable person. If not because of you, the other reason could only be because… he was doing a task for the headmaster."
Since she thought that Ery had a good relationship with the new headmaster, Annara hoped that he would ask the matter. And with this information and anxiety gnawing at his heart, Ery planned to do just that.
"I'm coming with you." Annara said, surprising him. "Well, I actually ca to inquire on behalf of the dark institute."
Ery just nodded as he didn't mind her coming along.
The two of them headed to the Magus Academy and made their way to the headmaster's chamber which was located just a bridge away from the academy. As they got closer to where they could see the guards on duty, Annara whispered to Ery.
"Rember, Ery, if they don't let you in… you have to insist."
As expected, the saint-level guards on duty stopped the two of them in their tracks.
"Halt! You are not allowed to be here!"
Gazing at the one who seed to be the leader of the guard squad, Ery smiled. "Can you please inform the headmaster that Ery Ambrose is here, if the headmaster not busy, i wish to ask sothing regarding Magus Xion"
Although inwardly very anxious, Ery maintained his attitude and politely asked the guard to pass on his ssage.
Fortunately, it seed his na was sowhat famous as the head guard appeared to be aware of who he was. The man quickly sent one of them to inform the headmaster, and a few minutes later, the guard slightly bowed to Ery.
"Acolyte Ambrose, you may enter. The headmaster is waiting for you."
The two turned to each other, both feeling relieved by the guard's words. However, just as Annara took one step, she was stopped by the guards.
"The headmaster said only Acolyte Ambrose."
The red-haired girl was quickly annoyed at being refused to et the headmaster. She tried to bring up her privileged status, even her relation to the Darkness Institute; however, she was still not allowed entry.
Ery cald her down. "Don't worry, Annara, just wait here. I'll tell you what I found out later"
The red-haired girl was still annoyed, but accepted his suggestion in the end.
After thanking the guards, Ery made his way towards the headmaster's chamber. As he pushed the door open, he was greeted by the sight of two people waiting inside. The first one was Headmaster Delbrand who sat behind his huge table, while the other was a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a pitch black uniform – a Grand Magus.
Looking at the other person, Ery beca hesitant and said, "I apologize, headmaster. I didn't realize you had a guest."
The headmaster waved his hand and casually said, "No trouble at all... Ery. Let introduce you. This is Magistrate Griffith."
Seeing a glimpse of the black uniform the well-built Magistrate wore beneath his robe, Ery imdiately realized the identity of the other party. The man was an Enforcer.
The grand magus looked at Ery with a friendly look as he said, "So you are the young wolf that people talk about. I was told that you were there when my predecessor Kadek and Leon's team fought their last fight."
Ery gave his respect to the middle-aged man before replying, "Yes, elder. They all fought bravely."
"Yes, of course they are."
Ery then looked at Headmaster Delbrand, his gaze clearly showing what he wanted. Seeing that, the headmaster said.
"If you are looking for your master, yes I do know where he is because I did give him a mission."
Ery's face brightened when he heard that. But the next second, his face changed.
"Unfortunately, I can't say anything further about it."
