The Arcane God - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: The Historical Records [III]
Maybe it was due to the twins having the same sets of mind, but surprisingly, when the two sisters grew up, they fell in love with the same person at the same time.

That person happened to be Oberon.

At that time, Oberon was a talented student in the Mystic Peaks Academy.

At the age of nineteen, he had reached the silver level and graduated from the academy, but did not choose to leave the academy. Instead, he resolutely stayed and chose to continue practicing his skills.

At the same time, he also took up the teaching work and brought several talented students into the academy.

Facing the dilemma of his pursuit by the two beautiful sisters, Oberon decided to choose Shannon.

Shania was admissible and did not raise any objection to this decision. But since then, Shania’s character had become much calmer.

Their parents also accepted the elder’s decision and eventually agreed to the marriage of the two.

But because Shannon was three years younger than Oberon, and the light mage was a more traditional person, he always wanted to go back to his parents’ home in the south to hold the impending wedding.

Also, the first batch of students brought by Oberon were all excellent, and they were not far from completing their learning process in the academy.

Therefore, their wedding was delayed until Shannon was twenty six years old and the conclusion was finally reached.

That particular year, Oberon was twenty nine years old. With his excellent talent and hard training, his power base had reached the Gold level.

Even the first batch of students he brought into the academy all excelled because of their outstanding talents. Among them were a couple who planned to journey back to the south too.

So Oberon took a year off, and with Shannon, along with the couple, set for the south together.

Saddly, what was originally a happy wedding trip turned into a tragedy for them.

Half a year later, when Oberon and Shannon returned to Mystic Peaks Academy, Oberon suffered a huge mental shock and lost his powerbase, but Shannon was left on the edge of death.

When Shannon was about to die, she called Oberon and Shania to her presence and left them her last words.

“Shania, I know that you lied to me when you said that you were not interested in marrying before me. I know that you have always liked Oberon, and you didn’t get married because of that. Now, that I’m leaving this world behind, I want you to be with him, and take care of him, just like I did.” Then, Shannon turned to Oberon again. “My dear, when I’m gone, you must love my sister like you love me. She is my only beloved sister, nothing must happen to her. You must promise me not to let her down .”

In the face of Shannon’s last words, the two of them could only nod their heads in agreement.

After Shannon’s death, her parents passed on the position of school leader to Shania because of excessive grief, and then retired from the scene.

But Oberon seemed to have changed as a person. Not only did he not want to be with Shania, but he was also mentally broken and became a nervous wreck every day. He was neither teaching nor practicing his skills.

Sometimes, he would hide in the library and kept reading, and wouldn’t come out for days. Other times he would be in the house, and the sound of metal tapping was often heard, coming from his chamber.

In a flash, more than ten years passed by, and Oberon never left the academy, but had been performing this weird behavior ever since.

But with the passage of time, his power base had recovered a little, his behavior had gradually become normal, and there was no visible mental problem at all.

In the past ten years, everyone in the academy, from masters to students, had known that there was such a broken elder in the academy. Oberon’s nickname, Brokenron, didn’t go away either. It was given to him by the first batch of students that he brought in.

In the past ten years, Shania had never been married due to the words of her sister and her love for Oberon. Although she couldn’t draw his affectionate feelings towards her, she had been taking care of Oberon silently in secret.

A year ago, when she saw that Oberon’s mental state had finally become stable, she developed a feasible method to help the mage get out of this decadent life. Afterwards, Shania had a big planned quarrel with him, and she intentionally forced him to open a branch at the former site of the school.

At the same time, Shania also deliberately arranged for three talented students to study with the mage at the new branch. This includes Yara, who was rescued by Oberon a few years ago and taken as an adopted daughter.

But no elder wanted to go to his branch to help in teaching the students. They couldn’t bring themselves to work under a broken mage. So Shania thought her arrangement was doomed to fail.

But what Shania didn’t expect was that after the new students started this year, two more talented students joined Oberon’s group. This made Shania feel vindicated, and her hopeful proportion increased a lot.

Back to the present.

Shania was now worried about Oberon’s weird behavior reported by elder Warren just now. Through the gray-black window of the library, Shania saw the mage sitting in front of the table, looking intensely at an ancient book.

There were more than a dozen thick ancient books on the table, blocking most of his body.

However, judging from his facial expression, she concluded that the light mage did not seem to have any abnormal manifestations of morbidity.

So, after standing outside the window for what appeared to be a long time, Shania finally let out a breath and left with peace of mind.
