Chapter 92: I am a Pokemon master
This was one of the few schools which had elements from all of the basics, including fire. Of course, there were schools based on dark, light/bright and others, but Aric didn’t bother to go, as his talent didn’t show any signs of those elements.
Aric followed him through the throng of people after checking around more schools. Most of them Aric found to be ordinary, and those extraordinary ones, like the school specializing in lightning, wouldn’t accept him anyway. But on Gopher’s urging, he had visited them, and, as usual, he was only proven to have high wind-level talent.
The lightning-based school was very remorseful for not being able to accept him, but they did send their well-wishes to Aric. The school had found two talents in lightning magic: one medium and one low, and they were quite happy with that.
While looking at the tents and ’window-shopping,’ Aric and Gopher came across a tent that was quite different from the others. The symbol on the flag was unfamiliar—a crude emblem of a beast with horns curling around a crescent moon. This was the Ravenguard School.
Inside the tent, it was dark, and the scent of earth and sweat filled the air. Rough-hewn weapons and animal hides hung on the walls. A tall figure emerged from the shadows—a woman with fierce, predatory eyes and a wolf pelt draped over her shoulders.
"Welcome to Ravenguard," she said, her voice low and guttural. "I’m Sylva, the beast master here. I have heard rumors of someone with a high level of wind element. I will tell you this right now: your level of talent means shit to us. It might help you in other schools, but not here."
"Sylva... You’re the same crude woman I knew from long ago, I see."
"Why? You thought I’d change over the years to fit your personality?" Sylva didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
"No... It’s just, it’s been so many years, and I thought maybe you’d calm down a bit." Gopher seemed embarrassed as he said that. Aric could easily sense that Gopher had a soft spot for this woman in his heart, which was kind of new. Aric had always thought that Gopher would like some feminine woman, but from the looks of it, he’d done a 180.
