Chapter 109 Back In Hogwarts!
Time flew, and under Elric's deterrence all the Amazons cooperated smoothly
And having already been untied and given freedom to walk, the earlier tense atmosphere had somewhat reduced.
*Sigh… I hope I didn't make the wrong decision*
Looking at Elric in the lead, Melinda could only follow helplessly now that she had made her choice.
Thankfully, the distance between the school from here wasn't too much, and without wasting too much time they successfully reached Hogwarts
Upon approaching the school, the faint figures of George could be made out
Standing in front of the entrance, George's red eyes seemed to have bags under his eyes. Obviously, he hadn't slept all night.
*Young master, you're here!*
Looking at Elric coming back, George couldn't help but sigh with relief.
You know last night when Elric suddenly ran up to him and said he had to leave, George was worried after all the current Elric is just coming out of an injury plus he has only one arm.
Now seeing Elric suddenly run off into the night, George was ridden with worry as the thought of Elric endangering himself kept reverberating in his mind.
Thankfully now that Elric had arrived, George felt his mind could finally calm down.
"Haha George, why are you here? I thought I told you to wait for me and that I'd be right back!" Laughed Elric
Noticing George suddenly calling out to him, Elric who had kept a straight face throughout the journey unknowingly had a smile plastered on his face.
Feeling the worry and emotion in George's tone, Elric suddenly felt a warm feeling surge through his chest
*Could this be what it's like to have someone waiting for you?*
*Or is the feeling of what they call home?*
Thinking of this, the smile on Elric's face gradually widened.
Back then as a researcher back on the blue star, Elric spent most of his time either studying or working in the laboratory
Unfortunately, due to this Elric never really got the chance to experience life in normal society, especially since his parents died way back when he was still a child in an accident
Remembering those dark, lonely days alone in his laboratory Elric couldn't help but feel that maybe coming Elias wasn't a bad thing
However, just when he was about to put his right hand on his chin thought, Elric suddenly remember that he didn't seem to have a right arm
Feeling the emptiness where his arm used to be, the smile on Elric's face quickly faded
*Focus Elric! It's too soon to relax*
*You're still too weak!"
Straightening his face, Elric decided to double his training efforts as soon as he had time, while also studying a way to get a new arm.
Soon time passed, and the rest of the group had already reached where Elric and George were discussing
Seeing the building in their front, the Amazon's eyes shone with amazement
As people who had lived in the small plane all their life, this was their first time seeing a build of such calibre.
Even Melinda who had been constantly worried about their current situation blanked out for a bit as she was taken back by the sheer size and design of the school.
And Elric, noticing their astonished gazes, nodded in satisfaction, while George had a somewhat proud expression on his face.
Ever since the battle with Ristarte, fortifying and expanding Hogwarts has been one of the main agendas that Elric emphasised focus on
Now a few weeks had passed, and under Elric's orders the school had expanded almost twice it's former Suze adding all sorts of new rooms and facilities while upgrading the others
However, while shocked by the scene before her, Melinda's worries about Elric became more intense
Just judging from the sheer size of Hogwarts, Melinda could already imagine what kind of power Elric held, and the fact most likely a lot of people under his command lived there too
Thinking of this, Melinda even began to wonder if Elric was gathering some sort of hidden army to conquer the world or something.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that her answer was almost spot on
Elric did plan to do something like that, according to Elric's calculation once there were enough wizards, it would be possible to lead them to plunder all the materials in the plain this immensely helping his research
Thinking of the whole resources of a plane to himself, Elric back then almost drooled as he was lost in his daydream for a bit
Unfortunately, All of this was too far for the current Melinda, currently, all she needed to do was obey Elric's orders and keep her sister safe
Sighing slightly, Melinda noticed that George and Davis were done talking.
Seeing this, she knew that Elric would soon begin to pay attention to her.
And sure enough, she was right!
As soon as Elric and Greorge finished speaking, Elric Immediately turned his attention to her
Sensing Elric's gaze, the already nervous Melinda could help but start to fidget as she await his next words
Thankfully, Elric didn't keep her waiting too long, and under Melinda's anxious gaze he slowly spoke
"Welcome Melinda, and thank you for your cooperation on our journey back."
"However, before I have a discussion with you it would probably take a while as I currently have some urgent matters to attend to"
Saying this, Elric had a look of regret. Thankfully Melinda didn't seem to think too much about it and just nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Elric knew she had agreed. So without hesitation, he continued speaking.
"Good thanks for your understanding, and don't worry George over here would lead you and the rest of your tribesmen to a place where you can stay"
"And as for the apprentice wizards, you all go to your respective rooms. Thanks for your hard work"
Looking at the apprentice wizards, Elric had a smile on his face. Obviously, these people had come a long way from ordinary primitives to the apprentice wizards they are today!
Thinking of this, Elric had a smile on his face. Unfortunately, before he could continue speaking Alvin's voice suddenly interrupted him
"Young master, what about me?"
Asking this, Alvin had a confused expression on his face.
However, Elric's next words left him completely stunned.
Just now, as soon as Elric heard Alvin's question, his face became serious as he remembered his reason for suddenly departing.
"You? Just follow me to my office"
Saying this Elric entered Hogwarts not giving Alvin a chance to react
