Chapter 56: Time Skip

After a lively dinner, Nelia looked at Aya with the expression of horror. This was the first time she saw someone who could eat more than her.

"Are you sure that you’re not from the Red Family?"

Aya’s face darkened. "I’m sure, Teacher Nelia."

She was from the White Family and there shouldn’t be any history of mixed marriage. After all, for one to be the head of the White Family, their bloodlines were usually purer.

They would not marry someone from outside the family so easily.

Besides, Aya had actually awakened her inheritance magic, which was exclusive to the White Family. If she was from other families, there was no way she could awaken it.

"Tsk." Nelia clicked her tongue but didn’t press this matter anymore.

"Alright, let’s go. We’re going to take a mission tomorrow."

"Yess!"

The children knew that they wouldn’t see Nelia again tomorrow and silently heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the training was effective, but it was also really brutal.

Their weak bodies couldn’t stand it!

"Let’s train together again tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The children agreed to train together and then went their separate ways to their respective homes. After all, they all came from different families and it was impossible for them to go home together too.

"The training is fun." Evan was happy on their way back home.

Aya also smiled faintly.

It was lively and fun.

Even though Aya didn’t really practice her magic, the physical strength practice was proven to be very useful. She would need to buy some weights next time so that her training would be more effective.

"Mhm."

It seemed very easy for them to become friends with each other.

It was no wonder that these children would all become a team. After all, with so many years of getting along with each other, there was no way they wouldn’t want to stay together in the same team.

And now, Aya will become part of them.

’What did the original Aya actually do?’

There was no record of what Aya did and even her existence was a complete mystery. Then again, Aya had never paid too much attention about history from this era.

She shook her head.

"Let’s go back quickly."

"Yes."

The two of them went back to the White Family Residence.

They would go to the academy to study and then went with the others to practice. Occasionally, Nelia would be back and brought her students to practice together.

But later on, there was no need for Nathan, Silas, and Nisa to stay in one team.

So their time practicing with Nelia stopped.

These people had their own businesses and lives.

And in this way, several years passed quietly.

...

The academy life could be said to be very monotonous.

Five years passed by in a flash.

During this period of time, Aya heard from her uncle about various matters related to the ghosts. Originally, they didn’t plan to let the children knew about the ghosts, but in the end, there was truly no point in hiding it.

Almost everyone in Wansu City had known about it.

Besides, Aya kept on directing the ghosts that appeared midway to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City, making him doubt life. Even other people also seemed to know that they didn’t need to go out and hunt ghosts because these ghosts would come over to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s place.

Thankfully, they also found out the method to destroy these ghosts.

Some people with more mana learned the powerful spell and used it against these ghosts, thus making the ghost disappear.

After their ’death’ these ghosts didn’t leave behind any corpse.

They couldn’t really do anything about this.

And in order to use these ghosts, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City also started to think of using it through other means.

For example, how about if the ghost was brought into a human’s body?

Could they use some means to seal these ghosts into a human’s body and then use the strange ability that these ghosts have.

In the end, they have to consult the runemasters. Because there were also battle runes, special type of runes that formation masters used to store spells and also the beasts of beastmasters. This possibility caused many people to do research about it.

It took them some time to come up with a feasible formation runes to keep the ghosts.

The runes were still being perfected but the existing ones were put into use by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City for the existing ghosts. First, they used a relatively weaker magic warrior to seal the ghost and then let him use the ghost’s ability for an extended period of time.

In the end, it only took a week for the magic warrior to die.

After observation, it could be seen that the ghosts drew on human’s life force instead of mana. So every time the magic warrior used the ghost, they were basically consuming their own lifespan.

It was quite tragic if one had to say.

But at the same time, magic warriors used mana to lengthen their lifespan to a certain degree. Even if it was not much, the higher one’s rank, the longer their lifespan would be.

In this case, these ghosts’ effect on them would be somewhat reduced.

They could only do their best to use the ghost power as little as possible and made sure that they didn’t overuse it. There would also be two people around them, helping to strengthen the seal at all time so that it would not consume the magic warrior’s lifespan.

With this the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was happy.

There were several ghosts left after some of them were ’killed’ in action when coming to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

Some of the ghosts had been reduced in size due to the experiments and many others.

But some others were still relatively good.

The Fourth Head of the Wansu City picked a few powerful ghosts and also a few trusted magic warriors to become the ghost masters.

It was the new term that they made, imitating beast masters.

Aya had heard about this matter but chose not to comment anything. Their methods to deal with the ghosts were similar to the one in her era.

The difference was that after a while, people didn’t dare to use this method anymore.

Because they noticed the existence of the ghost aura.

The ghost aura would appear wherever the ghost is. Their current sealing ability couldn’t really seal up all the ghost aura and only the advance seal could do it.

Unfortunately, no one here was able to use the advance seal.

Aya thought about telling them about it, but in the end, she didn’t do that.

Even though Aya didn’t like seeing people dying around her, but she also knew that her ability was limited. Moreover, Aya knew very well that she has no capability to save everyone.

Her ability was strong, but she didn’t have the ability to do everything.

So she could only stay silent.

There might be a chance in the future for her to spread this knowledge. For the time being, Aya decided to let the nature take its course and didn’t do anything unnecessary.

In this way, ghost masters were born.

Not only the Wansu City, the other cities around also realized the importance of these ghosts and started to take various measures to deal with them. After all, more and more ghosts have appeared in the past few years and none of them were easy to deal with.

Of course, Aya knew that these ghosts were only at the lowest cannon fodder level.

But she couldn’t really say it to the others.
