Chapter 131 - Preparing for the Festival [Back to Versalkin Academy]

After a while, Yuta and Beatrice walked to the student meeting center, from which they would go directly to Verselkin Academy.

The two of them were looking at the repairs and aid that the soldiers and rescue teams were making to help the local residents of Euspikers City, collecting the dead bodies that were still scattered here and there.

After walking for a while through the semi-destroyed neighborhoods of the city of Yospeakers, they finally arrived at the student meeting center.

Which made a group of students present direct their attention towards them, while talking among themselves.

To be divided into two parts: The girls were looking at Beatrice jealously.

"It seems that Utah Caseral and Beatrice Azwassen are dating."

"You're right. Otherwise, why are they together? What can they do alone? It's impossible for nothing to happen between a girl and a boy alone."

"What a lucky girl! An isolated girl, a time bomb like her boyfriend, who is the strongest first-year student in the elite class, and one of the candidates to join the master class next year, and moreover, he is one of the richest people known in the world."

"I wish I were in her place."

As for the young men, their feelings were a mixture of anger, annoyance, jealousy, and envy.

"Just a hypocritical idiot who tricks them to get his way! He has threatened me to get 50% of my development resources over the past months."

"You're right! He did the same thing to me. Anyone who refuses to pay is beaten severely, and all of his resources are taken from him on top of that! Versalkin Academy does nothing, but blames us for being weak and not being able to protect our property."

"He's just scum who tricks everyone into thinking he's a good person! I saw him trampling on the remains of fighters' bodies when we were returning to Uspeckers City. When I asked him why he did that, he told me that it was none of my business what he did, and if I tried to interfere again, I would be with them."

While the students were talking, Yuta directed his gaze towards them for a split second, and that moment was enough to strike fear in the hearts of some of them, and happiness in the hearts of others.

Beatrice and Yuta continued on their way without paying attention to the students' gossip, which was neither important nor true in the first place. They were not lovers in the first place.

On the other hand, Lucy, Gia, and Brevica were walking around the center, trying to clear their minds and get to know each other.

The fact that Jia was closed off in her training did not mean that she completely neglected her social aspect, but rather she wanted to stay away from the political hypocrisy of the students from the advanced classes and years, with whom she was surrounded.

Since Lucy is at the same level in her family, as well as the probability of her being the legal heiress of the Kathali family is 0%, because she and Jia focus on magic, in contrast to the terms of their families, in which magic is the basic requirement along with several other things, this does not mean a complete lack of trust.

There are still chances to raise the probability of them being the legal heirs of their families to 100% if they take advantage of each other.

As for Brevica, her information was completely unknown. Moreover, she did not care about building a good relationship with them, which made the trust that developed between them temporary, until they fully understood her true intention.

None of them were foolish enough to fall into one of their own traps.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you looking at Beatrice with threatening eyes while walking with Yuta? Aren't you also walking around with Gray Ruichi, Tom, Jian Yi, and Armin? But he doesn't seem interested."

"Or are you two acting like this even though you know that Yuta is taking care of her because of a promise he made to Boswell when he met him when he was young, after he helped him with something?"

A huff of annoyance escaped from both of them as they recalled the times Yuta had carried Beatrice in a way that suggested he was her lover.

The hugs, holding her like a little girl, bringing her food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...it all felt like a beautiful love affair.

However, they knew that there was no love relationship between them, as Beatrice had encouraged Lucy to confess to him several times, and that was the biggest evidence that refuted the suspicions of both of them.

They then spoke with clear annoyance, while looking at her:

"You're right."

"But..."

The word stuck in Brevika's throat, while she looked at Jia with looks full of confusion and incomprehension.

"Your actions, your appearance, the way you walk, and how you talk...they're all so similar to Yuuta. Even the energy you give off is similar, to the point that it doesn't even happen between twins."

Jia looked at Brevika with eyes filled with calm and terrifying coldness, to the point that Brevika took several steps back.

This made Lucy feel strange, however, she felt the same pressure she had felt from Yuuta when Severus kidnapped them.

Although that moment was short, it was enough to feel Yuta's power.

And at this moment, she felt as if Yuuta was standing next to her right then, with his tyrannical power commanding any entity that tried to condescend to her to submit and submit.

Jia calmed herself down, while canceling out her aura from the place, making the students and professors near her breathe better, she was at the rank of Master of Rulers after all.

Gia spoke while looking at Brevica with calm eyes:

"I apologize, but your words made me feel like you were watching me, which is why I acted out of annoyance. I apologize again, Brevika Al-Aslahhan."

Brevica sighed in awe as she looked at her, then spoke inside her heart in a tone full of amazement:

"Jia, who the hell are you?!"

They continue on their way immediately after that, ignoring Yuta and Beatrice, after realizing that they are being foolish; Yuta showed no hint that he loved them.

They had to do the same thing in turn. Love is not in words, but in actions. One of the things they noticed is that Yuta always helps them, but he does not act like a lover.

Thus, Yuta's actions were facilitated, and both Lucy and Privika decided to act with him accordingly.

Elsewhere, Seok's gaze was calm as he looked towards Uspeckers City, remembering how it was the first day they arrived, and how it was now.

Like anything in this world, everything is destined to be destroyed one day and for a reason. After all, life is not flowers and peace; Disasters occur constantly, and human and material losses are normal.

Seok's weak phase is over, the fight for survival on Jeju Island is over, and the life-or-death battle in Uspeckers City is over as well.

There is only one month left, and the first academic world at Versalkin Academy ends.

Five months in which a lot of unexpected things happened, making him completely change his ideas about the world and the way he worked.

From a young man who thought that once he entered Versalkin Academy, all his problems would be solved, to a young man who wanted to know who he was in this world, and he was half human and half cursed, from two worlds that were different in every way.

Even though he had become stronger, he had become even more confused than before.

Then Suyi's voice sounded annoyed in his mind:

\[Seok, didn't I tell you not to think about these negative things? She's still a 15-year-old kid.\]

Seok remained silent for several seconds as he listened to Soyi's annoyed words.

He spoke with sarcasm in his heart, while drawing a slight, inconspicuous smile:

"What's wrong with you, you brat? Have you returned to your motherly behavior? I'm several years older than you, so leave this role. It doesn't suit you."

Inside Seok's mind, Soei was feeling very angry, so she decided to come out in the form of a palm-sized apparition, with long black hair that reached her waist and dark black eyes, wearing old Japanese clothes, and looking like she was six years old.

While she looked at him with extreme anger, she threw several punches at his face, then puffed out her cheeks in extreme annoyance, while speaking in a loud voice that only he could hear:

\[You're so annoying! I'm advising you, and you're acting like I'm just a very annoying naivete! I will teach you a lesson when I fully regain my strength!\]

Seok held it in his fingers, looking down at it, having moved away from the student assembly center so as not to look crazy or something.

He kept looking at her as she tried to break free from his hands with obvious annoyance, while laughing silently, and this made her feel even more angry.

\[Leave me, you vile, pathetic bastard! Leave me or I will kill you! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!\]

Seok tried to stop himself from laughing as he looked at her, she looked so cute, which made him not care about what she said.

He gently held her with both hands and wiped her face with his cheek, which made her feel embarrassed.

\[Sue, what's wrong? You are so annoying! You act like...Tarta, and like a wild bully at the same time! Don't listen to advice!\]

"You're right, Yee. You're annoying, Yee. Rem is a better sister than you; she's very polite and nicer than you. However, I hope you'll be able to appear as your original self again... Yee."

She raised her head in surprise, while tears began to flow from her eyes in involuntary sadness, making her look even cuter than she was.

Then her body began to disappear, returning inside the tattoo that was transferred to his mind, being the place where she lived.

A half-hearted smile appeared on his lips as he looked at his empty hands, closing them with great force.

Then he stood up while looking towards Uspeckers City for several seconds, as if to say that one of life's battles had ended, announcing another battle that would appear on the distant horizon.

To return to the student meeting place.

After several minutes had passed, all the students had fully gathered, and Academy Principal Soliver was standing on the podium, while looking towards the students whose gazes were filled with enthusiasm and happiness.

They were exempted from the final exam due to their participation in the battle, but what shocked them was the decision of Christian, Kazuhiro, Leon, Inuyasha, and Nicholas to leave Versilkin Academy.

Although they were among the best first-year students, they had recently transferred, only a few days before the start of the written exam.

However, their scores were 100% on the written exam, and they were among the students who had been inducted into the Masters' class, making their standing within Versalkin Academy not to be reckoned with.

However, the students were happy, there were five empty seats that would be distributed next year to both the regular class and the legends class, but they were fewer compared to the seats available in the elite class.

A deep sigh escaped Solliver's mouth as he looked at the students one by one, passing his gaze over Yuta, then Jia, then Lucy, all the way to the rest of the students.

To speak in a tone full of enthusiasm and encouragement:

\[Dear students, six days ago your number was 560 students, and after facing dangers and challenges during this very short period of time, 134 students emerged who deserved to be students at Versalkin Academy.\]

\[134 students passed the written exam, Jigua Island, and fought against the Scorpion Organization, who were under the command of one of the leaders of its Special Council, the Scorpion of Shadow and Light, and against the goblin ruler Cavlior.\]

\[You should be proud of yourselves, boys and girls! You're still fifteen years old, and you've done all this. Otherwise, we will begin preparing for the occasion of the thousand-year anniversary of defeating the Demon World and overthrowing the Demon Lord.\]

\[I hope you enjoy the festival days, and help with the celebration preparations during the next four days, from May 31 to June 3. The duration of the celebration will be a full week, from June 4 to June 10, so that you can rest and prepare for 17 days.\]

\[However, this period, which does not exceed seven days, will be important for you to raise your status and ensure your future. You better prepare for it, because all the great powers from the five continents, the great duchies, the great clans, and the great sects will be present. So, show them your skills and have fun!\]

[Thanks to the cooperation with Yuta Caseral, who is in charge of the world's technology companies, we will make the joy of celebrating victory over the demon world absolutely unforgettable. I wish you a happy life after everything you have seen.\]

Let the students and teachers begin to applaud Director Soliver's words. The great sects and clans that they could join, and through which they could obtain status, wealth, and resources that would allow them to develop to great levels, were a very valuable opportunity.

However, the Versalkin Academy's professors did not seem concerned, as the academy possessed extremely rare and high-quality resources, surpassing what the Great Sects, Great Clans, and Grand Duchies possessed.

"Great! The doors of success will be wide open, and there are only four days left to celebrate the thousand year anniversary of the defeat of the Demon World!"

"Thanks to God, I have succeeded in obtaining this precious opportunity to build my future, with His permission."

"I hope the Tao Clan will accept me, they have the best investigator, Tao Shen! Hahahaha! I will become of great power and influence, even if I am an outer disciple, how do you know what I can achieve on the inside?!"

"Moreover, I fought members of the Scorpion Organization, survived on Jejua Island for nearly 13 days, and participated in a battle against the Goblin Lord Cavelior. On top of that, I am a student in the Mythology Class, which makes my chances of becoming an inner disciple very high! I have accomplished all of this at the age of fifteen!"

"You're right, my friend! Our accomplishments at such a young age will make us accepted anywhere we go."

"Today is our last in this country, and we will return to Vrselkin Academy, where we will reap glory and praise and build a bright future."

"I feel happy and excited too! I'm so excited for the festival date! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

The students' murmurs among themselves filled the entire place, accompanied by cheers, laughter and happiness.

On the other hand, the looks of Seok, who had two thousand years of experience, Yuta Caseral, who had fifty million years of experience from his previous life and seventy thousand years of his current life, and Lucy, Gray Ruichi, Jia, Beatrice, and Tom, who had experience from the lives of Zhao Li, Alessandra, and Brevica, were aware of the cunning and political hypocrisy hidden within Director Solliver's words.

They did not care about the students as much as they cared about the status of the Versalkin Academy and its remaining a force that could not be ignored or deterred.

However, they didn't care about that, they had no intention of joining any sect or clan, even Seok, who wanted to go to a clan unknown to him, was protected by the Duchy de Moliard.

This was after he agreed with Yoruichi on Jijua Island to support them against the followers of the Scorpion Organization, who attacked Jijua Island with more than 800 fighters.

To have more than claimed lives during the entire war in a very short time, making him among the students who would be in the Masters' class next year.

Also, joining a sect or clan would make him bound by its laws or principles, unlike the Duchy of Moliard, which provided him nothing but care and protection, even though he possessed the family symbol.

So Seok, along with all his companions, turned their attention to Yuta, as there was undeclared hostility with the Tao sect, because he killed Edward during the exam in a hideous manner in front of the people of the five continents.

They wanted to punish him, not because he was one of them, but because they were doing what they had to do.

Although Edward killed several students, he managed to hide it from the world, unlike Yuta, who made everyone see what happened.

The incidence of trouble caused by the Tao Clan was extremely high.

However, Yuta didn't care, as if the problem had been solved a very long time ago, after all, Yuta had his own backup plan for a backup plan, and killing Edward in public was something that could be solved quite easily, and he also dealt with it quite easily.

However, Director Solliver did not seem to have finished speaking, as he hit the microphone several times to draw everyone's attention to him, his gaze full of firmness and seriousness.

Which made them realize the seriousness of the situation, and that underestimating what he had to say would make them regret it a lot.

\[Since it will be a festival attended by several world-famous figures, from different races, this means that important figures from the human sector, barbarians, elves, orcs, angels, the ruling family of the Dragon World and the Elve World will celebrate this occasion with us.\]

\[This is why I say and repeat: Any foolish behavior will have very serious consequences! This speech is not directed to you alone, but to all students of Vrselkin Academy.\]

Although Principal Soliver seemed to only exist in one place, he was present in all the locations of the Versalkin Academy students spread across the Central Continent at once, making some of them shocked by his terrifying strength.

However, his words at first differed slightly depending on the place.

However, he decided to ignore their shocked looks, and spoke in a tone filled with calm and merciless warning:

\[This period will be a time for gaining a future, but at the same time it will be the most sensitive period for the human world, and there is a great possibility of war breaking out with one of the other worlds or an internal war breaking out between the different groups. Therefore, you must respect our guests of other races and genders, and the same applies to them in turn.\]

\[Therefore, the seven days will be like gunpowder next to a stove of fire; You never know how and when the fuse will ignite and burn everything around it. Therefore, you know what you have to do: seize the opportunity to develop, not to perish and shed the blood of your world.\]

Then let the students speak out loud:

"Yes, Director Solliver!"

The students' voice was so loud that it was heard throughout the entire city of Uspeakers.
