Today’s harvest was quite good. The Flame Alloy will be put to use soon. The enhancement of the black gold long knife also needs to be arranged as quickly as possible.
As for the High-Level Support Training Potion, Charles plans to hold off on that for now. His Beast Mastery training speed is not slow, and it’s steadily improving.
He will use the High-Level Support Training Potion when he needs to make rapid progress!
Additionally, Byron mentioned that there is another rare high-level metal material outside Calivia,
but Charles suspects that this information is likely false.
“I’m tired from today’s battles. I’ll check out the blacksmith’s guild tomorrow to see if I can find some more rare high-level metals to enhance the black gold long knife.”Charles murmured to himself.
After a quick wash-up, he lay down on his bed and drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, various messages were spreading wildly in the outside world.
In the office of the Cyber Academy principal, Jamie looked at the messages coming through on his phone, his expression serious and focused.
Originally, Charles was known as a genius. Now, he has a master-level alchemy teacher, as well as an eighth-level Beast Master as his Beast Mastery instructor.
Constellation will surely be unable to hold back, and the time to take action against Charles is likely within the next couple of days.
Jamie walked to the window of his office, opened it, and looked out at the night sky over Cyber Academy. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and muttered to himself,
“If Constellation doesn’t make a move in the next couple of days, Charles, how am I supposed to see you clearly?”
“Ezra has high hopes for you, and Constellation will feel the same. Charles, are you really the legendary…?”
As if realizing something, Jamie stopped speaking. The cigarette he had just taken a puff from burned quickly in the wind outside.
Jamie stood still, his gaze fixed in the direction of Charles’s dormitory, lost in thought.
On the other side,
in Byron’s home within Genosha Calivia,
Byron looked at the news about Charles on his phone, his face filled with worry. Sweat poured from his palms and forehead,
who would have thought that Charles actually has an eighth-level Beast Master as a teacher?
If that level-eight Beast Master finds out, he plans to team up with a level-six Beast Master to lure Charles outside the city and kill him.
Byron is doomed, not even his family could escape the revenge of a level-eight Beast Master!
“Maybe we should just drop this. Charles is tough to deal with.” Byron hesitated for a moment before voicing his thoughts. He was scared and wanted to back out.
“What do you mean drop it? What if Charles asks you where that metal material is? How will you answer him?” Winston thought for a moment before responding.
Byron gritted his teeth and said, “I… I’ll just say someone else took it!”
“Hmph, naive. Do you think he’ll believe that? If Charles finds out you lied to him and tried to kill him, do you think you can escape?” Winston continued to manipulate him.
“What… what should we do then?” Byron started to panic, the plan to ambush Charles had already pulled him deep into trouble.
A cold glint flashed in Winston’s eyes as he slowly said, “We’ll do what we have to do. Tomorrow, ask Charles again. We need to act quickly, before anyone notices, and take Charles down!”
He was determined not to let Charles escape. So what if he was a level-eight Beast Master?
Even if there was an investigation, it wouldn’t lead back to him, all the clues would end with Byron.
Once Charles was dead, he could deal with Byron without any risk!
And the people from Lsengard wouldn’t escape either!
Thinking of this, Winston turned his gaze toward Lsengard.
Outside Genosha,
In the wind-swept and desolate Atacama,
Joshua looked at the exhausted Aria, his eyes filled with concern. He slowly said, “Your Majesty, why not take a break today? You haven’t eaten anything all day.”
Aria seemed not to hear him, continuing to handle the work at hand.
During this time, the relationships among the major forces in Atacama had grown increasingly tense, many places had descended into chaos, and true conflict was not far off.
She wanted to restore peace to Atacama, to make it united and strong, and she had to give it her all!
“Sigh.” Joshua sighed as he pulled out his phone and handed it to Aria, saying, “Your Majesty, there’s new information about that human you care about.”
Upon hearing this, Aria reacted. She paused her work, took the phone from Joshua, and carefully examined it.
Seeing Aria finally take a moment to rest, Joshua felt helpless, only matters related to Charles could capture her attention.
Reflecting on the information he had just seen, Joshua was also surprised.
He never expected that a human boy he met by chance would have such a powerful background and terrifying talent!
A level-eight Beast Master and a master-level alchemist—either of these would be highly sought after by Aria!
If they could have the help of a level-eight Beast Master, their situation would be much better, and the chances of restoring peace to Atacama would significantly increase.
As for Charles, Joshua didn’t think much of him, what mattered to him was Charles’s connections and background.
What could a level-three Beast Master possibly do to help?
Unless Charles could rapidly grow stronger in a short time, Joshua himself lacked confidence in being able to continue protecting Her Majesty in the long run.
Watching Aria regain her focus on work, a thought flashed through Joshua’s mind: if there was a chance, he had to kidnap that human boy.
At the very least, with that human around, Her Majesty could take a bit more time to rest.
Meanwhile, Charles, who was on Joshua’s mind, was currently lying in bed, having slept soundly until morning.
At seven in the morning, after a quick wash-up, Charles put on a hat and a mask and stepped out of the dormitory.
Sure enough, at the entrance of his dormitory building, a crowd had already gathered, all waiting for Charles to come out.
“Strange, it’s already this late, and Charles still hasn’t woken up?”
“Yeah, was he too tired from yesterday’s battle? Let’s give him a bit more time.”
“Brother, you really know how to manage this, you’ve even pulled out the professional camera.”
“Of course! Right now, any recent photo of Charles is worth a silver coin, and if it’s a good shot, it’s even more expensive!”
“By the way, did you hear? A formal wear shop sold out all its clothes in one night because of Charles’s photos!”
…
Wearing a hat and mask, with his head down, Charles glanced at the cafeteria in the distance.
After some thought, he decided against going in for breakfast.
If he got spotted, he probably wouldn’t be able to get out, let alone attend class!
“Have you eaten yet?” Catherine’s voice came from beside him, holding a bag of breakfast as she looked at Charles.
Charles was a bit puzzled, he had disguised himself well, yet Catherine recognized him at a glance.
“Not yet. I think I’ll skip breakfast this morning and head to class instead.” Charles replied.
Catherine handed the breakfast bag to Charles and said, “Here, eat this. I already had mine, I bought this especially for you.”
Charles didn’t refuse, he took the bag containing the breakfast but paused just as he was about to eat.
“What’s wrong?” Catherine asked, confused.
Charles helplessly pointed to his mask and said, “To eat breakfast, I need to take off the mask. I really don’t want to be discovered. Otherwise, a crowd will gather around me, and I won’t be able to get away.”
Upon hearing this, Catherine pointed behind Charles and said, “I think you don’t need the mask anymore, those people are running this way.”
Charles turned around to see a large crowd rushing toward them.
The front few shouted, “Look! The person next to Catherine must be Charles!”
“Yes, that’s right! Catherine only hangs out with Charles, so it has to be him!”
“Idol! I love you!”
“Handsome guy, you’re so cool! Give me an autograph!”
Charles trembled, he had never imagined a day like this, surrounded by frenzied fans.
It seemed that being too famous wasn’t such a great thing after all.
With no time to linger, Charles quickly said to Catherine, “I have to go now. See you at the classroom door!”
Catherine nodded, and in the next moment, Charles vanished into the shadows.
To escape from those frenzied fans, Charles had to use his skill, **darkness cloak**!
“The handsome guy has disappeared!”
“Where did Charles go?”
“Wherever he went, he must be heading to class. Let’s go to the classroom where Charles has his class!”
“Right, you’re so smart! Let’s go! We’re off to the classroom!”
In the shadows, Charles helplessly rubbed his forehead. These fervent fans were already affecting his normal life. If it weren’t for the fact that Cyber Academy didn’t allow outsiders in,
the whole academy would probably be filled with Charles’s fans by now!
“Where else can I go? Maybe I should find Teacher Hale and see if he can talk to the dean about these students!” Charles muttered to himself.
With no other options, he made his way to Hale’s office.
Just as he stepped out of the shadows, his phone vibrated. Opening it, he saw a message from Byron.
[Charles, I have some bad news. That place has been discovered by others!]
[However, they don’t know the exact location and are searching around Gourd Mountain outside the city. They will probably find the rare metal materials in just a few days.]
[If you still want that metal, let me know as soon as possible so I can take you to the exact spot before someone else gets it!]
Charles looked at the message on his phone, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
Did they really think he was that greedy?
