CHAPTER:12 [Elite Class]
Kai stepped out of the portal and the first thing he saw was Harold jerking his hands together like a house fly rubbing its legs, a wide, greedy smile plastered across his wrinkled face.
"Well done, Kai! Excellent! Now you see these treasures…"
Harold pointed at the massive pile of gold, rare ornaments, and unique weapons.
"Take anything you want from this place. Just leave what you got from the dungeon."
Kai felt disgusted by the man's boldness and greedy nature — it reminded him of a filthy house fly.
"Sorry, but I can't. I have important matters to attend to."
Harold narrowed his eyes and asked with a scowl,
"Oh? What is it, huh? What could be more important than choosing something better for yourself?"
Kai looked at the gold surrounding him in a circle and said in a low voice as he headed toward the exit,
"That's a secret."
As he reached the stairs, Harold's hoarse voice echoed behind him.
"Be careful… too many secrets can become poison."
Kai smirked as he left the basement.
......…
By the time Kai finished his business and returned to the dorm, it was already evening.
He entered his room quickly and summoned Nia. A white glitchy screen appeared before him.
(Nia, you got everything right? Fuse the sword together, then create the pathways and fuse the two cores of Celestials. And did you find anything related to the unknown DNA in my body?)
(Why one year? And what about the unknown DNA in my body?)
(Okay, okay, I get it. But what is this Abyssal Shrouder?)
Kai's eyes widened. To think such a thing existed… but he also felt a spark of greed. That kind of regeneration could help him a lot going forward.
(I have another task for you. Can you make it so that during the body reconstruction the Shrouder DNA completely fuses with mine?)
(Also disconnect me from the God system during that process.)
........
After that was over, he was called out for dinner. Verda kept a close eye on everyone, but nothing happened. After eating, they went to their rooms and fell asleep…
"Sir, you asked me to keep an eye on them, but for what? They won't even say a word and whenever they talk it always ends up in a fight."
The man replied in an uninterested tone,
"Just keep an eye on them and don't report everything."
......…
In the morning everyone got ready, had breakfast, and went to the academy. An instructor was waiting to take them to class. Their classroom was big for only twelve students. The bell rang and class started. The teacher came in and introduced herself.
"Good morning, class. I'm your homeroom teacher, Carla. Now introduce yourselves in order."
The class had three rows. Four students sat in each row. The introduction started from the first.
"I'm Dona."
The girl beside her had pink hair, short height, and an innocent face. She was pretty excited.
"I'm Tina."
The girl beside her was tall with long black hair and a calm face.
"I'm Jennifer."
The girl beside her was a punk.
"I'm Anna."
The rest were all guys. The second row started.
"I'm Shimura."
"I'm Richard."
"I'm Arthur."
"I'm Denki."
Then the third row started.
"Feng Lin."
"I'm Ye Lin."
"Shino."
"Kai."
......…
Introductions ended and class started. It was pretty boring since Kai already knew everything. The bell rang, the teacher left, and it was break time. Some girls came and took Dona away — she had been called by someone.
Dona entered the room and saw four students.
"So you are Dona, right? This year's number one."
One of them sat in front while two sat on his right, one on his left, and one seat was empty.
Dona looked at them suspiciously and said,
"Who are you people?"
The one sitting in front said,
"We are the council. The four of us represent their year. I'm from the fifth."
Dona looked at them even more suspiciously and scowled,
"What have you called me here for?"
They said…
"Oh, we don't want anything. We just want to make sure everything is in order. That's why we called you."
Dona sighed.
"Why me? There are plenty of others."
The one who seemed to be their leader said,
"I just heard that each and every one of them is a troublemaker, so I'd rather not have a ticking time bomb. So, will you join us?"
......
Dona joined the council and returned to the class to pick a few slaves. She said with a loud voice that silenced the room,
"From now on I'm the monitor of this year and I'm going to choose who's going to be with me."
(Feng Lin)
But Feng Lin doesn't like being under someone.
"Hey hey hey, who gave you the authority to choose, huh?"
She moved on.
"Shino."
"I'm no one's slave and don't ever call my name."
Then she moved on to Kai.
"Kai."
And Kai doesn't like nobles.
"Huh… I don't remember volunteering for slavery, did I?"
Then the teacher said,
"C'mon, you can't leave her like this. The presence of a monitor is compulsory and you have to follow the rules."
Kai looked the teacher dead in the eye and said,
"Look, missy, I'm not here out of my own will and why should I listen to a silver-haired bitch whose origins are nowhere to be found?"
"Oh, if you really don't like the academy then would you like to be expelled?"
Kai looked the teacher dead in the eye and said,
"Sure. Do your worst."
And smirked at Dona.
