Chapter 272: Chapter 47 Crystal Egg Hatching

Harvey’s news triggered some memories for Anvis.

In his previous life, after the young Anvis chose the Transformation School, some in the academy also tested him.

For instance, arranging provocations on purpose to see his reaction and to judge his character and attitude, but it happened later compared to now.

In fact, it was quite the norm, but due to the significantly earlier Prophecy in this life, such tests would probably come more aggressively.

Although many thoughts flitted through Anvis’s mind, the transfer of spiritual information took only an instant.

The next moment, Harvey stood up straight with a smile, showing no signs of oddity.

“Hello.”

Alisa returned Harvey’s greeting politely as well, but her slightly cold gaze made it clear she was not very fond of Harvey’s playboy mannerisms.

Seeing this, Harvey did not seek further embarrassment and after greeting Anvis, found an excuse to leave with his two female companions.

After this brief interlude, Anvis took Alisa back to the academy in the family carriage, an action that inevitably allowed some interested parties to see the two together.

Those who also wished to court Alisa would understand what this meant.

Another day passed and Anvis finally returned to the high tower of the Mysterious Academy that he hadn’t been to for a long time.

When he returned from the Federation, he did not go back to class immediately but stayed in his residence for two days, behind closed doors, until today when he resumed his classes.

In those two days, he arranged more of the specific affairs regarding Player organization management.

Including transferring some low to mid-level tasks from his family and the academy for the players to take on, as well as finding some specialists to manage the exchange of goods with the Secret Ceremony Society, and distribute tasks and rewards in the Olivendi Chamber of Commerce within the Empire and Federation.

Meanwhile, he also soothed Fiona, who had been somewhat anxious about his disappearance.

Seeing Anvis who had been missing for several days finally coming to class, most classmates did not find it strange.

Everyone has their own learning method, especially with Magic; a sudden inspiration could lead to an experiment that might take several days.

Apart from Claire and a few classmates who were on good terms with him, who asked about his absence from class, the others did not mind it much.

“Anvis, have you heard? Gellerka and Bob got into trouble and even got their credits deducted by Mentor Nancy!”

During the break, a girl with pale-blue long hair ran to Anvis for a chat.

She was Skella, the daughter of a minor noble, but as a person, she was extremely keen on gossip and well-informed, always able to get wind of juicy news before others.

Anvis did not mind her hobby and when listening, he always showed just the right amount of surprise and curiosity, which made her like sharing news with Anvis.

“Why? What happened?”

Anvis was also happy to chat with her because he had not been back for a while and was keen to find out if anything new had happened at the academy.

“Well, I’m not completely sure because I wasn’t there at the time, but it’s said to be a special experimental accident!”

Skella spread her hands, but her expression seemed eager to discuss the topic.

“Experimental accident? What kind of experimental accident could occur in Mysticism?”

Anvis wondered, as it is indeed common for accidents to happen during Mage experiments, but the safety of Magic Laboratories had developed so proficiently that experimenters were hardly ever injured.

“That day, when the Mentor taught everyone how to process a Crystal raw stone containing Mysterious Power, an Inscription was accidentally done wrong.

At that moment, the glow of the Crystal became extremely unstable, and luckily, the Mentor immediately stabilized the Magic in the Crystal, quickly corrected the abnormal Inscriptions, and eventually dispelled the effect.”

Saying this, the blue-haired girl’s lips curled into a bit of schadenfreude.

“And poor Gellerka and Bob, they were too careless and ended up repeating exactly what the Mentor did!

As a result, the energy of the Crystal went out of control on the spot, Bob was turned into a frog, needing a kiss from the Prince to turn back. Gellerka turned into a stone statue on one side, and the Mentor is still searching for a way to undo the magical effect.”

“Oh, gods! This is so serious!”

Anvis shook his head speechlessly; it seemed they would indeed need a good period of rest.

“However, Skella, are there any other pieces of news worth mentioning?”

“Other news?”

After thinking for a moment, the girl slapped her palm.

“That’s right, I heard that the Ninth Prince of the Royal Family also enrolled this year, but I’m not sure which branch he is currently in.”

“Okay, Skella, thank you for the news.”

Anvis nodded in gratitude to the girl.

After the day’s classes, Silver suddenly sent an abnormal alert: The status of the crystal egg in the laboratory had undergone an abnormal change!

This time it was very likely actually hatching, seeing the message, Anvis quickly returned to his residence.

After entering the laboratory, he expertly verified his spiritual power and opened the demon-repelling metal gate of the incubation chamber.

In the power supply array of the incubation chamber, a sky-blue bipyramid crystal was flickering, its flashing speed much faster than before.

At the same time, the vortex part within was gradually beginning to rotate slowly, just like a real vortex. It refracted a rainbow-like radiance, as colorful and splendid as sunlight on soap bubbles.

“Silver, display the current data of the experimental subject and bring up the historical records.”

Looking at the greatly changed appearance of the central crystal, Anvis immediately issued a command to Silver.

“Command accepted——”

As Silver’s magic voice fell, various data and indicator lines appeared in front of Anvis, especially the core frequency of the crystal and the largest changes in its magic power absorption speed.

“Gently increase the magic power supply rate by 20%, maintain close monitoring, and if there is any negative change in the crystal frequency, immediately stop the increase in power supply.”

After observing for a while, Anvis issued the instruction to augment the magic power transmission.

When the crystal egg entered its current third state, Anvis felt that the energy input was already somewhat insufficient.

“Command accepted——”

As Anvis gave his command, the magic transfer within the power supply array was raised again.

The magic circuits, originally only emitting a faint cyan light, now radiated a bright glow, with abundant and pure wind attribute magic power continuously pouring into the crystal egg.

With the heavy infusion of magic power, the crystal also underwent corresponding changes. The dazzling cyan glow, like water, began to gradually accumulate at the base of the crystal, and the ‘liquid surface’ started rising incrementally.

As the brightness of the crystal slowly filled it up, the speed of the vortex’s rotation became faster and faster.

Crack——

Finally, when the crystal’s brilliance was completely brimming, and it had almost become a pure light ball of pale cyan. A clear crackling sound emanated from the center of that orb of light.

The volume of the light ball swelled in an instant, and its brightness sharply intensified, turning into a pale cyan sun.

The air was compressed by the suddenly expanding magic ball, and a subtle shockwave quickly spread out, causing Anvis’ experimental uniform and light golden hair to dance about.

Anvis paid it no mind and casually condensed a black crystal mirror to filter out the excess stray light.

At the center of that ball of light, there was a translucent small creature nearly a meter long, like a young dragon.

It had beautiful wings that continually shed little specks of stardust, similar in shape to the wings of a giant dragon, but it had two pairs, and like its body, they were also translucent pale cyan.

Energy tentacles like floating ribbons surrounded its body, with their specific purpose as yet undetermined.

The sky-blue crystal had shattered into many pieces, orbiting the central vortex like small asteroids, apparently the core of this peculiar little creature.
