“What is the matter, Miss Jasmine? Did you come here just to gawk at my face?”
Bert, unfazed, looked back at her, his voice containing clear mockery. After glaring at him and not even trying to weaken the frightening and suffocating pressure she was emitting, she said,
“Bin came to you first. Why?”
“Ah! Is it about that? He was just greeting an old friend. What? Is that so wrong of him?”
“Don’t give me that bullshit, Bert. He had very limited time.”
“No, you’re wrong… again. You are still misunderstanding something. Bin is not who he once was. People change and

“I heard that the situation is still bad in the Sinking Depths. I really didn’t expect you to come all the way here.”Melissa, now the CEO of her company, was in her spacious and luxurious office at the top of the skyscraper. She just met up with her childhood friend, Jasmine, and the two were catching up. There had been slight friction between the two of them, but the two women ignored it and talked about the more serious stuff.“How can I not come? Bin appeared after eleven years. I wanted to meet him and clear up some things…”“Sadly, I didn’t get to meet him either. He talked with Bert for barely an hour before leaving. However, I was told he was a bit “Hey sir! Hey!”“?”“Take a look at our latest Circruit Stabilizer! For only Sixty Crysts, you’ll be able to efficiently control your Mana and strengthen your circuit!”“I’m not interested.”Bin was touring the busy streets of the city. Despite the looming doom, the stalls and shop owners were surprisingly enthusiastic. They were trying their best to sell their products to any passerby, especially the new faces like Bin.Bin had been stopped four times already, and despite kindly rejecting their offer, they would pester him in an annoying manner. They would latch onto him and use honeyed words to eLife as A Servant Chapter 430 : Not a Bad Guy
“You’re going to regret this!”Lenna was walking beside his friend Arbert with Bin right behind them. The two youngsters wanted to call for help but the street was devoid of passerby and they could be instantly killed if they tried anything, or so Bin repeatedly assured.“Less talking and more walking.”Bin had his hands on their shoulders, making sure they remained close and obedient. Though their conversation was brief, at least he got to know how they were planning to enter the institute without going through the machines, which were actually called Automated Golems.They diverged from the main path and entered a bushy area adjacent to the high fence surrounding the institute. Arbert
“P-professor Tanna is a teacher here… she… she…”“Don’t tell me the superficial stuff. I want to know about her full name, status here, and so on…”Arbert pensively nodded his head then continued, “Professor Tanna is eccentric… perhaps a bit crazy too. She teaches Mana Convergence, Mathematics, and History. I think she… she’s 30 years old. She became a teacher eleven years ago, and was declared to be a prodigy, but due to her slightly disturbing behavior, most people don’t take her too seriously.”“And?”“T-that’
“Talk? I’m busy no-”Before Professor Tanna could reply, Bin waved his hand, causing massive walls of sand to arise and block the windows and the entrance. Although it did not surprise the female scholar, it did confuse her. She furrowed her brows and sized him up a second time.“I don’t want us to be interrupted, Professor Tanna.”Bin chuckled and stepped to the back to display his non-hostility, despite using magic to isolate the laboratory.“I’m curious about many things, Professor, and somebody advised me to come to you of all people.”Bin was touring the cramped laboratory, checking the foul and old
“If one were to look at the annals of history, they would catch a glimpse of similar catastrophic events, on a scale no lesser than the present. The Rifts are but one form of connection ‘twixt worlds, and though they generally differ in type and influence, they are all categorized as the same thing. Put simply, they are interdimensional breaches that occur randomly or purposefully. In our case, unfortunately, it was done artificially. Though my peers would offer a rather contradictory account, as is their wont.”At last, Professor Tanna stopped pacing around and sat back down next to Bin. She was fumbling with her fingers, appearing slightly uneasy and nervous.“The breaches, as you might have noticed, lead to disastrous consequences. Whether it’s earthquakes, floods of water, or even deadly spatial tear
The talk with Tanna lasted for no less than four hours, in which Bin’s knowledge about Dranxia and The Rifts was considerably enriched, to say the least.The eccentric professor did not withhold any kind of information, neither did she keep her theories to herself. Usually, her peers would ignore her baseless speculations, but Bin was the opposite. He carefully listened to every word and found himself agreeing with most of it.Although she lacked proof to back the majority of her theories and hypotheses, they did not seem ridiculous or unfeasible. Additionally, he divulged some crucial details regarding his trip to Dranxia, and the reason behind his unexpected arrival.“I can see it already! Your body is exceptional in all regards! You must let me test it! You must!&rdqu
“Okay! I’ve completed my preliminary assessments.” “And?” Bin was lying on a mildly uncomfortable table, his fingertips were linked to a large and loud machine pumping Mana in and out of his body. Tanna had said that its primary job was to gauge his Mana Pool and thoroughly check the condition and balance of the Mana Circuit. The examination, or assessment, as the Professor liked to call it, lasted for a decent amount of time. Only at the break of dawn was Bin able to sit up and stretch his numb limbs. What made things worse were Tanna’s insufferable enthusiasm and her incessant questioning about every thing she could not comprehend. “As I had expected. Yo
