Chapter 54: Chapter 54How could Reyna not be jealous of Aaron?

    The academy had sent her to be a guide for him and also allotted him a big house all because he was the topper of the alliance exam.

    The Death-related professionals have only reached the top ranks very few times in the history of awakeners.

    When someone awakens a profession like this, their families ignore their growth as many would see that their’s end was predetermined. There was no way for them to grow beyond Rank-6.

    Even the awakeners themselves would give up after they awaken such professions. So, normally, seeing someone who awakened Death Mage as their profession to be the topper would be a once-in-a-millenium kind of scenario.

    This is why the academy attached so much importance to Aaron.

    This was something Reyna understood well, but that didn’t stop her from getting jealous of the benefits that Aaron could enjoy from the start.

    She too enjoys similar benefits but that was because of the accumulation of hard work in the first year here at the academy. If she had been given benefits like Aaron from the start, she would have reached a stage higher than where she is now.

    Since Aaron was given such a chance, the academy expects him to achieve great things in the future. If he couldn’t, then she would beat him up, she promised herself. This brought some relief to her and brought down her jealousy a bit.

    "Also remember that the day after tomorrow is the Orientation Day. Don’t be late, or else you will find out why it is bad to be not punctual in Dusk Academy", Reyna said cryptically as she left him at his new house.

    Her work was done, though he didn’t listen to her properly. Everything that she was supposed to say to him was in the guidebook. So, there was no need to worry that the higher-ups would blame her too much for that.

    If the guy can’t even read the stupid guidebook, then he is not worthy to be here in the first place, no matter how talented he is.

    Thinking so, she returned to her house. She has many things to do. She too was a death-related professional, a necromancer to be exact.

    Her skills wouldn’t be easy to upgrade as other professional skills. She has to grind a lot to improve them. So, she was always in a hurry and wouldn’t waste her time for anything else. If not for her master, she wouldn’t even have bothered with such an assignment of being a guide to the fresher.

    ---

    When Reyna returned to her home, there was someone else waiting for her.

    "Master", Reyna called out as soon as she recognized the visitor.

    It was her master, who has access to her house.

    Reyna’s master was a beautiful woman with big assets. Everyone who laid their eyes on her assets would lust after them once they laid their eyes on them. A reason why she remained alone for a long time.

    Her only companion was Reyana, her disciple, whom she found out was almost similar to her both in personality and dedication in improving herself.

    "How did it go with the boy?" she asked Reyna.

    Reyna sighed and told her how things went, leaving nothing out. She even told everyt detail on how Aaron was focussed more on her boobs than on what she was informing him about. He just followed her like a mindless puppet until the end of the tour.

    "Hahahaha", she laughed out loud when she heard her disciple’s words.

    Normally, those words would have angered her, but not this time. She has long inquired about the Death Mage who was able to reach the top rank.

    She learned that the boy is usually shy and wouldn’t mingle with others easily. Except for that, there are no negatives about him or about his family.

    In her mind, he was just a naive boy who didn’t know anything and was mesmerized after seeing her students’ marvellous mountains. She was sure that if he saw her, he might even faint. To her, it was a good thing that she didn’t accompany her disciple.

    If it was someone else, she wouldn’t be thinking like this, nor would she if she knew what Aaron did during his train journey. He may still be new and naive when it comes to girls, but he wasn’t as she believed to be, not anymore.

    "Why are you laughing, master? If not for the fact that the higher-ups assigned me this work, I wouldn’t even think about it. He may be a topper, but that was just for this year. Maybe the awakeners were weak this year", Reyana pouted at her master.

    The woman shook her head, "My dear stupid disciple, it was not the higher-ups of the academy that allotted you to be his guide, but the person was me. In fact, I had to fight for the right", she said, causing Reyna to be surprised.

    First, her master laughed when she spoke about Aaron’s immaturity, and now, she learned that her master was the one who assigned her to that boy. She couldn’t understand what in the world was happening.

    Her master looked at Reyna and spoke in a demeanour befitting her master, "You should be wondering what the reason behind this is. There is a reason behind this, and that was something I shouldn’t tell others, but since I assigned you to him, you earned such benefit".

    "What do you know about the professionals that can see the future?" she asked Reyna. Sёarch* The N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Reyna was confused by the question. Wouldn’t her master be supposed to say why she was turned into a guide for Aaron? Still, she answered her master’s question.

    "There are professions like Prophets, Diviners, etc... that would come into the category of Future Seekers, someone who is known to see bits and pieces of the future. Though they can see that, they can’t exactly tell what happened".

    "This is why one can’t totally depend on what they say, but they can take it as a template to write their own future", Reyna said.

    "You are right and one of the Diviner friends of the Vice-Headmistress has divined a future about the boy".

    "He said that the boy..."
