Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 20: Back at the Academy

Kyle was currently humming happily as he roasted a leg of a Rabbit. He brought various ingredients with him when he left the Academy to ensure he was always prepared.

After some time, a sweet fragrance drifted into the air. The color of the meat had already turned into Reddish brown.

Kyle bit a piece of the meat and tasted it. He looked at the sky still humming.

"What a great taste."

After finishing the meat he patted his stomach before heading toward the pond not so far from him. He marked this location before climbing the mountain because it was a good spot for rest.

Kyle removed his clothes before diving into the pond.

"What a great life."

.....

Next day,

Kyle could be seen coming out of the mountain. This trip was a fruitful journey all around, and worth all his efforts. He smiled to himself as he headed toward the Academy gates.

"I am finally back."

Kyle looked at the majestic gate in front of him with awe. As he entered the Academy, he felt like it had been years since he left but in reality, he just left yesterday.

He first went toward the mission hall to submit his mission. When he got there, the person who handed him the mission looked at him with disdain, because bringing back some herbs from the back mountain was the easiest task and yet it took Kyle 2 whole days just to collect some herbs.

Kyle who would usually get angry when others look down at him, literally ignored the receptionist because he was in a good mood.

He submitted the mission and collected the reward before heading towards the dorm to rest. After experiencing so much just in a few days he was tired. Right now he wanted nothing more than to just lie down on his bed and sleep for the whole day.

But before he could enter the dorm and rest, someone called his name from behind.

"Kyle? Right"

Kyle turned around with a frown to see who was stopping him from meeting his bed,

"Yes, it's me."

Nine stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"It's nice meeting you, I am Nine."

Kyle looked at the handsome brown-haired boy standing opposite to him. He was sure he had seen him somewhere before but because he didn't remember he brushed the matter aside.

Kyle politely shook Nine hand with a smile.

"As you already know, my name is Kyle. It's nice meeting you too."

Nine assessed Kyle and Kyle was also doing the same.

'He is at (+F)-Rank?' Nine was shocked sensing the aura around Kyle. He was sure except for the four monsters in the class, no one else had reached (+F)-Rank.

Kyle sensing Nine shocked gaze hurriedly tried to hide his aura. And for a few seconds, there was an awkward silence.

"So why did you call for me?"

With a smile, Kyle broke the silence. Since he wanted to hurry up and rest, he might as well get it over with as soon as possible.

"Ah sorry, I wanted to tell you about the competition held to decide the students ranking in class. Miss Aliza said to inform you because you were absent during the last whole week. I did come yesterday to inform you but you were not present."

Nine hurriedly explained everything before offering to go together.

"It's almost time for the competition and we are getting late. If you don't mind how about coming with me."

He didn't expect Kyle to be someone strong. Even Nine himself was only (F)-Rank. He thought it would be good to make friends with someone strong.

Kyle sighed with frustration, he wanted to skip but he knew he couldn't because according to the rules participating in every kind of competition was compulsory for all the students.

With no choice, Kyle nodded his head and started walking with Nine.

"Where are you from."

While walking Nine started conversing with Kyle.

"I'm from Nyan City."

Nine thought for a while before replying,

"Oh, I have never heard about this place."

Kyle looked at him with a smile,

"It's not a famous place, so it's normal if you don't know about it."

Both of them continued talking as they walked closer to the Classroom.

While walking Kyle looked at the huge Academy and was once again fascinated by how big it was. The Academy was well equipped with almost everything because it was the place where the future powerful individual of humanity would be nurtured.

Different training grounds, high-end food, and knowledge about almost everything, swimming pools, highly secured research rooms, almost all you wanted were present inside the Academy.

The students were allowed to go almost everywhere except for the forbidden area. The place where only high-ranking individuals can enter. The reason why it was considered a forbidden area was that it was the place where the Academy treasury was and where high-grade skills and Arts were stored.
