Chapter 70: Kael Won “Why did you save me?” “Why would I save you?” “I don't know. Maybe you want to prove that you're not a looser.” Mei Ling answered causing Kael to chuckle. They were both standing at the window of the Basic Classroom staring at the sun which was setting. “Prideful but not selfish. What a twist individual you're.” “I'm not proud. I just dislike you.” Mei Ling stated. “Why? Oh.. I get. Because I'm a Noble. You dislike all nobles isn't it? and your request is for the commoners to be in the same standard with the nobles.” Kael explained and Mei Ling smirked. “Who will thought you're this smart?” He asked prompting Kael to let out a short laughter. “You can never tell.. Afterall, I was abandoned by someone I needed the most, so I've to work things out by myself.” “Whatever.. It doesn't change the fact that you saved not just me but the whole Basic Class and Professor Astrid. I owe you one and I'm ready to pay to make us even.” Mei Ling said to him. “How abou
Chapter 71: Kael and the QueensThe outcome of the Challenge between the Military Department and the Basic Class had a significant effect on Nevermore Academy and on Kael.Many people who had looked down on him now respected him, while others saw him as a threat, earning him more enemies. Despite this, many people wanted to befriend him, but Kael wasn't the type to be easily cajoled. He wasn't the kind to normally mingle with others. He believed this habit was related to his past world. He always wanted to be alone and had almost achieved that, except for the lady who claimed to be his servant.Freya was seen walking behind him in the labyrinthine halls as they headed towards the office of Miss Zara, who happened to be Kael's instructor.It was a new day, and Kael had been summoned by Miss Zara to her office. He had completely forgotten about the summoning. It was Freya who reminded him and insisted on following."We could just warp there," Freya complained bitterly. They had Teleport
Chapter 72: His Servant Kael faced the four girls with fierce determination in his eyes. They stood ready, each exuding a powerful aura. Sarai, the girl with the eye patch, stepped forward with a smirk."You thought you could get away scot-free, huh? You took my toy away from me. The rest may be scared of you, but I'm not. I'm Sarai, and these are my comrades: Elara, the mage," she said, pointing to a girl with silver hair radiating magical energy. "Rhea, the swordswoman," she gestured to a tall girl with short black hair holding a long sword. "And Vesper, the enchanter," she finished, indicating a petite girl with dark green eyes and an air of mystery around her."You're outnumbered, and I'll make you plead for mercy," she concluded.The hallway was filled with students eagerly watching the confrontation, whispers buzzing among them.Kael took a deep breath, knowing he had to be cautious. The last thing he wanted was to harm any innocent bystanders. He adjusted his stance, readying
Chapter 73: Freya was Poisoned "How is she? Has she woken up?" Kael asked immediately after the nurse stepped out of the ward Freya was admitted into."No. She hasn't woken up yet, but she's responding to treatment," the nurse replied, causing Kael to gnash his teeth. The feeling to kill those four girls overwhelmed him that even the nurse could see the terror in his eyes."You can go see her, but do well not to disturb her," the nurse said before leaving his sight quickly, before he could direct his anger at her.Kael quickly rushed into the ward and slowly shut the door so that the noise wouldn't disturb her. She lay on a stretcher with a drip connected to her hand, and her eyes were closed.Kael went closer and grabbed one of her hands. He sniffed in the tears that threatened to roll out of his eyes."How could you take such a risk, Freya?" he asked, looking at her calm face, hoping she'd provide him with an answer."You took the blast knowing fully well it would result in this. I
Chapter 74: Quest for Vaitrnim PurpulaeKael was seen scattering the whole library. He was looking for a book—a book for the cure.He didn't believe what Eliza had told him and had gone to the Master of the Alchemist Department, but she couldn't provide a cure either.Kael had tried saving Freya with his potions, but they weren't working. It was as if he was wasting his time. He had also tried absorbing the poison into his body since he was resistant to poison, but that wasn't working either.He had poured a lot of essences into her body, but it only helped keep her stable for a while.He was searching different books hastily, squinting his eyes through pages until his eyes fell on the poison: the Accipio poison. And just as Eliza had said, the cure was not there.Angrily, he threw the book away, folding his fist in anger. He couldn't watch Freya die. He had to do something.But what could he do again? He had tried every means he had."Remember... Remember," he said, using his hand to
Chapter 75: Domain Expansion Kael roared, his voice deep and guttural. He swung his arm in a wide arc, forcing the Queens to leap back. He used the brief respite to revert to his human form, knowing he needed more speed to keep up with their coordinated attacks.The Queen Mother watched with cold eyes, her presence radiating control over the domain. "You're just delaying the inevitable, Kael."Kael ignored her, focusing on the immediate threat. Rhea charged again, her sword a blur of steel. Kael parried with his forearm, feeling the sting of the blade. He retaliated with a quick jab, catching her in the ribs and sending her stumbling back.Elena and Vesper flanked him, their movements synchronized. Elena feinted high, drawing his attention, while Vesper swept low with a leg sweep. Kael jumped, avoiding the sweep, but Elena's follow-up strike grazed his shoulder, drawing blood.Kael gritted his teeth, feeling the exhaustion setting in. He summoned the last of his magical reserves, his
Chapter 76: The ManticoreThe sun rays penetrated through the windows after the nurse raised the curtains, causing them to shine on Kael's face.Kael was still sleeping with his head resting on the stretcher as he sat on the chair. He had watched over Freya throughout the night, only falling asleep just before morning.The nurse hesitated to wake him up and instead went closer to check on Freya. She was surprised to see that Freya was now healthy, though she hadn't woken up yet.Kael had saved her with an elixir of unknown origin, but the nurse was glad he had been able to save her.Freya's eyelids slowly parted as her gaze fell on the white ceiling. She sat up instantly, feeling so energetic that it startled the nurse.She tilted her gaze, and it fell on the sleeping Kael, causing her to bite her lower lip. She knew for sure that it was Kael who had revived her, affirming her decision to make him her master."How are you feeling now?" the nurse asked, drawing her attention back to re
Chapter 77: The Manticore II"I can't give you my life," Kael retorted."It's not your choice to make," she said, folding her fist, causing Kael's eyes to widen. He was gasping for air.Suddenly, they heard a loud commotion meters away, and the lady arched a brow."What's going on there? Stay here, boy. I'll be back," she patted his shoulder before leaving him there while he struggled to free himself.He stood there for more than five minutes before Mei Ling and Dogo came to his rescue.The three journeyed into the woods, looking for the student who had poisoned Freya.---A female figure was seen running in the woods. She was running with nothing in sight. Nothing was chasing her, and she wasn't chasing anything either. She was just running. Her feet pounded against the earthy trail, her breathing rhythmic and steady. She had been running for what felt like hours, but she knew it was only a fraction of that. The sun filtering through the canopy above cast dappled shadows on the fores
