Chapter 74 The Speech
?"Hello everyone, as you might know, my name is Elric"
"And I've gathered you all here for a very special reason"
Arrives in front of the crowd Elric Immediately started addressing them, thankfully with Sebastian's help all of them fully understood him
At this time the sun had begun to set slightly making the atmosphere a bit formerly hot atmosphere start your cool
Looking at the crowd before him, Elric could sense their nervousness especially Nico who he spotted in the crowd
With clenched fists jumping up and down, if not for the crowd beside him, Elirc didn't doubt that Nico would rush up to the stage
Removing his eyes from Nico, Elric took a deep breath as he continued speaking
"When we first discovered you, you still ate raw meat and couldn't communicate clearly with each other "
"Now look at you! Standing here today, you are able to speak Elian, cook, and many more"
"I, Elric, am proud of you!"
Sensing the change in all of them, Elric couldn't help but feel good knowing he had created such a difference and was also glad he left Sebastian Sebastian I'm charge of them
*However, it looks like I'll have to use Sebastian often, given the fact he seems to have a knack for teaching*
Thinking of this, Elric decided to focus more effort on training Sebastian.
At this time, While Elric was thinking about training Sebastian, the crowd at this moment was filled with glee knowing their efforts hadn't gone to waste knowing their God was satisfied
Unfortunately, Elric's next words seemed to pour cold water over their heads
"But!"
"While I'm proud of your previous efforts, it's still not enough!"
Saying this, Elric's face turned serious
"Maybe it's because you have all been cooped up. so long that you don't know much about your surroundings"
"But let me tell you this, the outside world is extremely dangerous as even the weakest of monsters and break mountains and overturn the sea"
Although exaggerating, Elric knew he had to do this in order to plant fear in their hearts.
After all, without fear they would have the sense of urgency needed to progress quickly, thankfully none of them had actually been to the outside world as even their past generations had all stayed within this they're few acres of land
Sure enough, as soon as Elric mention the outside world, the surroundings suddenly became quiet as the primitives stopped talking only looking at each other with fear
Seeing them like this, Elric knew it was time to move on to the next part of his speech, hope!
'Only when one experiences despair can he know the value of hope' this was the line of a certain book Elric read back on the blue star, according to it, all he needed
to do was to first fill the primitives with fear then hope
"But do not fear! To you who refer to me as God know I can do somethings that you cannot do, things that are extraordinary"
"However, what if I told you, you could also do those things!"
Holding his spell book in his right hand, Elric summoned a huge fireball shocking the whole crowd
"God!"
Subconsciously the name God could help but leave the crowd's lips as they once again came to admire Elric's power,
However, hearing the word 'God', Elric didn't speak but rather shook his head slightly in denial
"Wrong!"
" I don't think this is the first time I've told you, but I'll say it again"
"I am a Wizard not a God"
Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar term 'wizard' the crowd tilted their heads slightly as they tried to remember where they heard it before
Seeing them like this, Elric knew they had completely forgotten everything he said about wizards before this, sighing he had no choice but to explain it all again
"Wizard! a group of people who study the natural phenomena in our surroundings, we determine its cause, its purpose, and how to manipulate it for our use"
"This flame now in my hand is a product of ne manipulating the flame elements in the air with mana"
Hearing Elric's words, Everyone had a look like they understood yet didn't understand at the same time.
However to Elric, this was enough, anything else they didn't understand would be taught to them when the school officially opened
Thinking of this Elric continued speaking
"Although most of you may not understand it now, but inday you will. And by that time you would have become full-fledged wizards capable of achieving amazing feats!" fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
As Elric spoke the crowd suddenly found themselves imagining different scenarios, with each time then as the protagonist
Someone imagined himself controlling a huge wave capable of flooding the world
Another imagined himself controlling a huge amount of ice turning everywhere he lived into a forbidden area
However, one thing all of them had in common was that they all welded incredible powers which they could even fathom before
Looking at all of them lost in their imagination, Elric smiled with satisfaction
This was a result of his hard work and practice using the rune he got from the Tantibus, unlike others that he could tell what they stood for, this rune was somewhat special
It seemed to continue a multitude of attributes at once so much so that it had become rigid and difficult to mobilise
Now after months of trial and error, Elric has been able to use a part of it possessing the power of dreams
Seeing the results of his practice in action, Elric was slightly happy
*It seems I'll have to focus more on this rune, I have a feeling it might be the key to me breaking through an apprentice wizard and becoming an official wizard!"
Thinking of this Elric couldn't wait to leave here and Immediately start researching, thankfully Elric realised he was almost done with the speech
At this moment, while Elric was busy thinking about going to research George, Davis, and Alvin who were capable of sensing mana were completely shocked
"Hey Davis?"
Looking at the dazed crowd, George called out to Davis
"What is it George" asked Davis
"Is it just me or has the young master gotten stronger again"
Listening to George's question without any hesitation both Davis and Alvin nodded Immediately
With that, the three of them faced Elric's direction with shocked expressions in their eyes
