“And this is the Battle Hall; students can fight each other here in front of the whole Academy. Actually, this is an open secret, most of the students who have enmity with each other using the battle hall to settle it out.
Most of them bet all their Academy Points in this Battle. Nux, you have to be careful, many students lose all their Academy points in the Battle Hall, especially the new students. Don’t let anyone provoke you. Okay?” Manya cautioned.
“Of course, I am not a reckless person, I will take care of it. You do not have to worry at all.”
Nux answered with a smile on his face.
Manya frowned.
For some reason, she did not like the smile Nux had on his face. She felt like he had not understood what she was saying.
“Be cautious, okay?” She repeated.
“Of course,” Nux answered with a small smile on his face and Manya’s frown deepened.
She could feel that something was definitely wrong here.
However, she then shook her head and decided not to say anything.
Maybe she was thinking too much.
“Alright, with this, I have introduced you to all the major buildings in the Academy, at the very least, you won’t get lost here now,” Manya muttered with a smile on her face.
“And I am very thankful for that. I feel incredibly lucky that I met someone like you on the first day of my academy.” Nux smiled as the two of them shook hands.
“So? Are you going to attend classes today?” Manya questioned.
“I’ll roam around, I actually want to find someone who studies in the academy.”
“Hm? Who is it?” Manya questioned. .
“It’s a student, he should be around 8 years old, also, he should still be an Apprentice Stage Cultivator.”
“Ahh, a Zero Decade student huh…”
“Yeah,” Nux nodded.
“Well, it will be tough to find a single student in the whole Academy, especially a Zero Decade student in the afternoon,” Manya muttered.
“Why?”
“Zero Decade students only have a one-hour morning class, the rest of the time, they just roam around the Academy.
So if you want to find a Zero Year Student, it is better to search in their class in the morning.” Manya answered.
“I understand.” Nux nodded in understanding.
“Well, I am not in any kind of hurry, I will just move around and explore more. Of course, it would be amazing if a beautiful friend would accompany me.” Nux smiled as he glanced at Manya.
“Oh ho?”
Manya smiled as well and then,
“Well, I don’t think you have any other beautiful friend here, so I guess you are talking about me.”
Manya chuckled and the two of them continued to explore Academy.
…
“Hah!? Where did you get this Healing Potion from, you piece of shit?”
While Nux and Manya were walking around, they heard a voice and turned around.
There, they saw three boys that looked around 13-14 years old surrounding an 8-9 year-old boy with smirks on their faces.
The boy who was surrounded was trembling, he didn’t dare to look into the other boys’ eyes and lowered his face.
“I-I b-bought it with Academy P-Points.” He answered in a meek voice.
“Heehh? How did you get academy points? There is no way you can hunt Star beasts, then how did you do it?”
“Heh. Is that even a question, Oswald? I am sure he must be doing all the odd jobs like cleaning the academy and all that.”
Another boy sneered.
“Heh. That sounds like something he would do.”
“Actually, it suits someone like. Hahaha!”
“Oh c’mon, he is still a son of a Viscount, you shouldn’t say that~” another boy commented with a smile.
“Hahaha~ You talk as if you don’t say things like that.
Barens and Viscounts are nothing but a little wealthier commoners.”
“Hahaha!”
The boys continued to laugh and the 8-9 year boy continued to listen without retaliating.
“This is a common scene here. Baron and Viscounts are often looked down upon since most of the Barrons and Viscounts are non-cultivators.” Manya muttered as he glanced at the scene with a frown on her face.
“…”
Nux, however, did not reply.
Manya frowned, she then turned around and saw that he was looking at everything with an expressionless face. No, though his face indeed looked expressionless, Manya could sense that something was different.
Nux looked angry.
[Name: Royce Alveye]
[Age: 8]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Occupation: Son of Viscount Felberta Alveye.]
[Race: Human ]
[Talent: Low]
[LVL:5]
[HP: 110/120]
[STR: 7]
[AGL: 9]
[VIT: 12]
[STM: 8]
[INT: 9]
[DEF: 7]
Yes, the 8-year-old boy who was being bullied was Royce, Felberta’s son and Nux’s future son.
“Alright, whatever, I don’t care where you got it from, now give it to me, I need this Healing Potion.”
The boy then sighed and extended his hand to grab the healing potion in Royce’s hand, however, Royce avoided his hands and stuttered.
“I-I need i-it as well…”
“Huh?”
The boy frowned.
And then without any hesitation, he used his knee to kick Royce’s stomach.
“Guoohffk!”
Royce’s eyes opened wide as he fell to the floor, withering in pain.
“Where did you get the guts to reject me from, huh? Did you somehow forget about the lesson I gave you a month ago?”
“Oswald, why are we even wasting our time? Let’s just repeat are lesson and get over it.” A boy muttered as he picked the Healing potion that had fallen on the ground.
The ring on his finger then shined and the potion disappeared.
The boy named Oswald smiled evilly and then, he nodded.
“Alright, since we are so generous, we shall repeat our lesson.”
He then kicked Royce’s face as if it was a football.
“Agggghhh!”
Royce screamed in pain as the three boys started kicking him ruthlessly.
“We should stop them! What are they doing to a child of that age!?” Manya couldn’t believe her eyes and was about to rush to save the child, however, Nux grabbed her hands.
She turned around and he shook his head.
Actually, if he wanted to, he could help Royce as well.
However, he wanted to know what would happen.
According to Felberta, Royce has been studying in the Academy for 2 years now, he can save him today, however, he would never know what Royce went through in these past 2 years that way.
Also, he was waiting for something else as well.
“What are you 3 doing?”
A small smile appeared on his face when he heard those words.
Manya turned around and her eyes shined in delight.
“It is Lady Candice!”
