CHAPTER 68: ANOTHER RED SPY

Caden’s clash against Second year’s Number 5 was a news that could never be hidden.

It was something spread far across the Valor Royal Academy.

Even beyond as students from other royal academies had gotten the news, it wasn’t something suprising that a Number 0 defeated a Number 5.

After all, Number 0’s were given to the strongest of them all. Regardless of the year session.

No Number 0 could lose to someone of the Number 5 ranks.

But it was the method used to defeat the Number 5 that was shocking.

To simplify it. Caden was simply too strong, too overpowering, a dangerous monster.

That was what he was.

But one of them detected the use of a unique skill. An SS-Ranked Skill, beyond the S-Ranked.

Caden knew the aftermaths so he had prepared his arsenal. Not wanting to expose himself.

He only used Qi to defend and support his S-Ranked Innate Skill without inflicting much damage on himself.

Head Chancellor Darius Kincaid was in his office, his back relaxed on his office seat. He was going through some Informations.

The Valor Royal Academy like every other royal academy was divided into three factions.

The military faction which exist to protect the students of Valor Royal Academy, under the command of the supreme commander.

Another fellow member of Supreme Council.

A Sword Level, Sword Grandmaster and a Mana Convergence Stage Arch Mage.

The adminstrative faction also known as the Staff Union is co-ordinated by the Academy’s Principal.

An entity few ranks below the Head Chancellor, only answering to the Head Chancellor.

Just like the Supreme Commander.

The special force faction. A secret faction commanded by the Head Chancellor himself.

It’s nature is a secret to the rest of the Valor Royal Academy.

This is why only the military faction and the adminstrative faction are the two common factions.

This time, the one who brought the news was someone from the special faction, a mysterious figure.

Head Chancellor Darius Kincaid sat with his legs crossed, his eyes scanned through the report.

He breathed in deeply "Caden Ryder again?" He raised his head, "But he’s quite stronger than what I concluded he would be" Darius admitted.

"I was sure he is strong, stronger than everyone in the first year department but he’s stronger"

Darius lips curled faintly "He has proven himself as the Number 0, my judgement could never be wrong"

Darius slowly rose up from his seat, the mysterious figure who had tendered the report bowed his head.

"What should be the next step forward?" The mysterious figure asked, "There might be a war between the year departments"

Head Chancellor Darius shrugged "Who is stupid to start a war because of something unimportant?" He asked.

"Instead they will surely be inviting him, after confirming the strength of the first year’s Number 0"

"They all will want him to join them"

Darius chuckled softly "And this is where things becomes interesting, I wonder what he would do next"

****

After the gruesome event, the injured students were quickly transported into the healing facilities.

While the remaining first year left the scene, whispering and mumuring amongst themselves.

What they had witnessed was simply too shock.

They were very happy. Many had felt oppressed by the actions of Number 5 and his boys.

But their Number 0 was in no way weak, just watching him dominate and destroy second year’s Number 5 was simply too satisfying.

~~~

In the Magecraft lecture hall, amongst the four thousand plus students, there was only a thousand seated.

Three thousand plus students had chosen the sword cultivation class but it wasn’t suprising.

Many of the top ranking first year students were also in the sword cultivation class, only a few chose the Magecraft class.

Sumeri was amongst the very few.

She was someone who had chosen Mana Convergence Stage as her primary cultivation line.

She is a lover of magic and it wasn’t a suprise she had chosen the Magecraft class.

Nearly every student who had chosen the Magecraft class had taken their seats, they were ready to receive their first lecturer.

The lecture hall was quite big, capable of housing ten thousand students, there were thousands of empty seats.

The door of the lecture hall creaked open and a middle-aged looking woman walked into the hall.

She was dressed in a black gown, her purple hair glistened in the sunlight, she was putting on medicate glasses.

She was a beauty, having round ass and nice curves, she slowly approached the podium.

Standing on the podium, she smiled at the first year students who had chosen the Magecraft class.

Her smiles were warm, very beautiful.

Strong enough to calm any raging mind, she cleared her voice "Greetings students of Valor Royal Academy" She spoke.

"Greetings to you ma’am" They responded at once. Their voices resounded in unison, she nodded.

"It seems I’ll be your first lecturer and I’ll be taking on your first course of the day" She smiled, "We’ll be dealing with magic theory 101"

"And I’ll be explaining the fundamentals of magic, how it is manifested and the procedures needed for its manifestation" She adjusted her glasses, her eyes scanned through the crowd.

There was abrupt silence in the air. No one dared to interuppt what this beauty teacher had for them.

She continued "But before we proceed, I should first introduce myself, I go by the name Nana"

"Nana Teton and I’ll be the lecturer in charge of magic theory 101 course, whoever have any important question is free to pay me a visit"

"I’ll do my best to answer any question" She turned her gaze, facing the cerulean crystal placed at the center of the podium.

She stretched forth her hand, enchanting a few words, her actions caused the crystal to flicker.

And a screen shaped holographic image appeared in the air. It’s bright light flickered, she giggled "Please do not be flustered"

"This is simply an information crystal, it isn’t my course to teach what information crystals are, I’ll only....."

Before she could complete her statement, the door creaked open once again.

It was a latecomer.

All attention drifted towards the entrance of the lecture hall to see who had dared to interuppt an ongoing lecture.

Who else could it be? If not him.

Caden stepped into the lecture hall, unfazed by the crowd staring at him, he breathed in deeply.

The soaring tension had reduced drastically as everyone recognized who he was.

He’s the Number 0 after all.

"Sorry I’m late" Caden apologized without facing the lecturer, aiming to walk through the sitted crowd and locate a seat.

His movements was quickly interuppted by her voice "No offense taken, but may I know your name?" Her melodious voice resounded in his ears.

That was when Caden had decided to turn.

He tilted his head, seconds later.....he was frozen in shock. His eyes widened, his hands quivered.

"How....how could it be?" He mumbled, the next information he received had left him dumbstrucked.
