Chapter 244- School Ceremony (Part 2)
The shadowy figure laughed sinisterly as it looked at Acht with an amused look filled with contempt. It was as if this thing was a small child that pulled out a funny prank and was laughing happily about it.
Acht glared at the monster coldly without saying anything. He was aware that everything this thing was doing was just to mess with him, but the fact that it even created a copy of Tania and made it commit suicide made him pissed off.
So, he just extended his hand and activated gravity manipulation.
*Bang*
The shadowy figure was smashed to the ground like a bug, and then he pulled it up from the destroyed ground. After that, he pulled it closer to him and eyed it from a close distance.
"Listen, fucker. I have no time to play with you. What do you want from me? and make it quick." He said in the most chilling tone.
The figure didn't have a face, but Acht still somehow peered into its soul with his deep blue eyes. This situation will make anyone lose their composure and maybe even faint. However, instead of that, the shadow grinned even wider as it said in the most amused tone.
"Heheheheh, you will know what I want from you soon. For now, let's play a little game, Acht. Let's see how many of your women I could kill before you break and lose your mind."
Acht squinted his eyes and didn't reply at all. He didn't feel any kind of fear from this creature and only pure annoyance.
"Kill? You think you can do whatever you want?"
"Heheheh, you are way too naive, Acht. You think no one can ruin everything for you and destroy you just because you have become stronger. I am here to prove that everything you thought was a given would become a luxury."
Then, after leaving those words, it started dissipating as if it was made out of mist. Ach tried to grab the figure again, but it was already long gone by the time he moved.
Then, as if it was finally the end of the dream, the world around him started crumbling, and everything turned into dust, including his body.
Then, his eyes opened again, and he was back in the real world. Acht took a few deep breaths before he stood up and touched his face with his left hand. He found his face sweating profusely as if he were in a sauna.
'Who was that? Did Livia perhaps send it?' He asked himself confusedly before he shook his head and walked to the bathroom to wash himself and prepare for the ceremony.
Thirty minutes later, he got out of his room and walked out to the street. There, he found Mia and Tania waiting for him… Or, to be more precise, on the verge of having a bloody fight.
"Who are you?!"
"You… bad!!"
Acht walked in between them casually and muttered.
"Let's go; we are going to be late."
The two nodded their heads and looked at each other confusedly. Acht was slightly different than usual. His mood seemed to be really foul, and his whole aura was somewhat colder than normal.
However, they didn't mention it since it could've just been their imagination, and they just walked silently behind him.
The three reached the hall where the ceremony would be conducted a few minutes later. It was already filled with students that took seats waiting for the ceremony to start. Most of them were from a wealthy background, which could be seen in their demeanor and the way they were gazing at the others arrogantly.
Then, there are the commoners who were able to enter this academy through hard work and sheer talent. They sat in a section of their own where no rich student could be seen. From that scene alone, anyone could see that this would not be an easy time for the commoners.
Acht simply looked around before he checked his phone. The academy had sent him the seat number he was going to sit in.
Luckily, it was at the far front and was also in the best position to see everything clearly. It was clear that this seat was for privileged people, even among the rich.
He sat down, and beside him sat Mia and Tania accordingly. They also had their seats close to each other.
'What should I do now? I can't just ignore the fact that someone is targeting the girls. From their confidence alone, I could see that they were not bluffing. I should keep an eye on my surroundings.' He thought with a sigh.
As he was pondering like that, another student came closer to him and spoke in an irritating tone.
"Hey, you! Get up; I want that seat." He said arrogantly.
Acht glanced at him for a second to see his face and then ignored him completely. He was not in the right mood to deal with idiots.
"I said get up, I want that seat!" The boy shouted again and tried to grab Acht by the collar.
Everyone watched the commission silently. They knew who that boy was, and they didn't want to offend him at all. His father was the owner of the biggest soul stone provider in the whole lower world, and his reputation alone was more than enough to make him be comparable with a prince.
Without looking at the boy, Acht grabbed his extended hand and tightened his grip around it.
After that, he gazed at him coldly with a frown on his face.
"I don't have time to deal with morons. Fuck off."
He then released his hand violently and returned back to his seat.
The boy grabbed his arm and ran away with clenched teeth. He obviously swore to take revenge as he ran away, but Acht couldn't care any less about that.
"Acht…" Tania muttered worriedly.
"Are you really ok? You seem angry."
Acht shook his head silently.
"I'm fine. Just a little bit tired."
The two of them knew that he was lying since he was not someone to get tired quickly. His stamina was that of at least 2 dozen of weak awakeners, so there were a few things that could tire him out.
As they were like that, the hall's light finally dimmed, and the crowd stopped talking and looked at the stage, waiting for the headmaster to appear.
The ceremony had started.
