我唾弃你的坟墓1

Meanwhile back at the academy, news of the La Belle and Sovereign making their way back was already known to quite a few.

Rumors were quick to surface regarding the ongoings in the Komi Islands. Most outside organizations assumed the two worked together to uncover some great treasures from the ruin there since they both belonged to Galos academy.

This sort of news could not be ignored by even the big families as a matter regarding a possible ruin discovery was huge. So even before the La Belle and Sovereign made it back to the Galos region numerous airships from outstanding families had arrived under the guise of celebrating Ettenheim\'s success in securing the Newman Highland\'s ruin.

Lady Uva had initially been against this idea but given that the majority of professors, inquisitors, guardians and harbingers were aristocrats she needed to accept it, especially since even her Grand Mages supported the idea of Galos Academy hosting a celebratory event.

Given the date that was set it was plainly obvious that they wanted the crew\'s of the La Belle and Sovereign to be present to provide information concerning the Komi Islands since other vessels had failed to gain permission of entry by the natives.

"Quite the uproar you\'ve caused Aron, I\'d like to see just how you plan on maneuvering your way out of this as even the arch-mage won\'t be able to help you." Inside the golden tower that stood on the grounds of the academy, Belle was casually looking out the window of her private quarters with her attention on many approaching airships while wearing a smile on her face.

A pale faced inquisitor Passil stood behind her and had a visible look of hate upon hearing Aron\'s name.

To him Aron was but an arrogant commoner who humiliated him more than once and caused his status to plummet in the eyes of the other inquisitors. From a respected man to a laughing stock, this was something he would find hard to fix even after he fully recovered and this angered him.

"He will pay for disrespecting us Milady." Passil gladly fed Belle\'s ego but she only chuckled at his remark. "There is no us Passil, you\'ve failed me far too many times. I called you up here not to discuss Aron but to formerly tell you you\'re expelled from my faction." Lady Belle revealed while still displaying a beautiful alluring smile on her gorgeous face.

Passil however was taken aback by this news, without Lady Belle\'s backing the little respect he had left would disappear. His status as an aristocrat would plummet significantly alongside his family, he couldn\'t accept such an outcome. "My Lady plea-"

Passil opted to plead but found his words hard to voice as the mana within the room grew very dense. He fell to his knees and held his throat with both hands as he felt he was being suffocated before receiving a scary side glance from Belle.

"My reputation has also suffered from having an incompetent fool like you within my faction. If you really wish to be forgiven then fix your mistakes! Now leave my sight." She commanded coldly as the the room\'s atmosphere slowly began to return to normal.

Passil said nothing more and quickly left her quarters with a tense look of anger on his face. \'Aron! It\'s all that commoner\'s fault!\'

...

It didn\'t take long for both airships to approach the boarder of the Galos region but as they got close a strange sight became apparent...

*knock* *knock*

Claudia lightly knocked on the door of Aron\'s quarters before letting out a hollow sigh and crossing her arms. A look of worry was visible on her face and it only grew more apparent the longer Aron took to answer the door.

She opted to knock on the door once again but was stopped when she heard a *click* before the door was opened. Aron walked out wearing a rather relaxed attire composed of an unbuttoned plain white shirt that left his chest visible and black pants.

His usual belt was nowhere to be seen and he had no shoes on either which gave the impression he had just woken up considering it was still fairly early in the morning.

"Sorry to interrupt but we have a situation you need to see for yourself." Claudia didn\'t mince words and quickly got to the matter at hand, it was rare to see her worked up so Aron was curious as to what was going on. "Give me a moment then."

Aron just quickly tidied himself and equipped the belt housing his arcane guns and wore some boots before stepping out leaving his axe and sword within the room.

After doing so he and Claudia began to make their way through the passages of the airship that highly resembled those of a luxurious home.

,m It didn\'t take long for them to climb a flight of stairs and reach the door leading to the deck. Even before opening it the voices on the other side were very audible and had a panicky tone to them.

All the faction members had currently gathered on the deck and were currently murmuring to one another about the situation when the door behind them opened before Aron and Claudia stepped out.

Seeing Aron appear they moved to the side although the deck did have a fairly large surface area that could easily accommodate over three hundred people, they only parted instinctively and this gave Aron a clear view of why Claudia seemed so worked up.

Roughly a kilometer away a number of vessels bearing the Galos academy insignia could be seen hovering at the boarder leading to the Galos region of Drotzi.

Aron furrowed his brows at this and began walking to the front of the deck where Lady Rose stood at the forefront alongside Evanora with Jagu, Xavier and Jin a bit further to their right hand side.

He walked over and stood between the space they left in the middle before placing his hands on the rail and leaning slightly forward. "What are we looking at?" He asked in his usual tone but a clear seriousness could be seen in his eyes.
