Chapter 965: 16.11 First Red Star - Ident.i.ty
Inside the abandoned church in Genus Academy...
Fenrir Skoll entered the church without hesitation and he even looked bored when he was welcomed by the scene of a man kneeling by the altar and a light from the heavens falling above his head. The interior of the church was completely different from the abandoned look outside.
The interior of the church is not simple. Though the designs and things inside look modest, what it was made of was a totally different story. The rows of chairs were made from expensive sandalwood which would cause millions for a small piece but every wooden chair is made of it. The whole floor is carpeted and that was placed there with in mind that visitors would enter with their shoes on.
The sculptures on the altars were made of gold. There is even one that is twice the human size and was placed at the center of the altar. The tinted windows were made from special materials that had the same effects as bulletproof windows and were even stronger than that.
The candle holders above them were made of gold as well though it was made to look old obviously it was made from the rarest materials it can get. There were also light crystals that looked fake because of how large they were. Only priests and those who serve G.o.d would notice how much holy energy was stored in it.
But what kind of luxury had Fenrir Skoll hadn"t seen? If he wanted he can even make a castle made of gold. He only glances once around and heads to the direction where the said greenhouse was located.
"Where is the greenhouse you guys are talking about?" asked Fenrir Skoll to the two systems hovering near him.
System Yue spoke, [The back of the church, my Lord! There is a hidden small plot of land rich in nutrients and fertile enough to grow roses.]
[The plot behind the church is not included in the area owned by the church Lord G.o.d Ye is free to take it any time. I"ve made preparations to set that land yours.] System Yang said.
"Good work. Show me the directions." Fenrir Skoll said.
System Yue spoke, [My Lord you can get behind the church by pa.s.sing through the door on the right side of the altar.]
Fenrir Skoll glanced at the priest kneeling in front of the altar. This priest looks quite young. Someone in his mid-twenties. Both his hair and eyes were pure gold as if his whole body was blessed with holiness from inside and out.
Despite such weirdness, Fenrir Skoll, this Werewolf Ancestor, doesn"t give a d.a.m.n about him and ignores the priest. He walks towards the right side door near the altar without even greeting the Priest of the church.
The priest suddenly spoke, "Oh Exalted Former King of the Werewolves. I wonder what led you to this humble sanctuary of mine."
Fenrir Skoll paused his footsteps and turned around to look at the priest. His face though looked so disinterested and bored as he never really cared if someone learned about his ident.i.ty in this world.
He calmly looked at the young priest wearing pure white priest robes with golden linings and said, "The small plot of land behind your church. I bought it. I plan to use it as a greenhouse. This church is the only way for me to get there."
"While you are at it, don"t call me the Wolf King. That man had died and been buried. If there isn"t something else I shall take my leave."
Somewhat dumbfounded by the words Fenrir Skoll had said to him, the priest was stunned for a few seconds before he tried to reach out and grabbed the corner of the werewolf"s clothes only to pause in instinctive fear when he met the apathetic obsidian irises of Fenrir Skoll. There is a glint of crimson which made him look extremely dangerous yet handsome.
With an icy voice, "Do not touch me. My wife is sensitive to smell." Fenrir Skoll warned.
The Priest lowered his hand and took a few steps back, "Please forgive my rudeness. I wanted to say that your shoes had dirtied the carpet inside the church."
Hmp!
Fenrir Skoll summoned Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang. "Yue, Yang, handle the rest here."
The humanoid bodies of Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang appeared in thin air and kneel on one knee before Fenrir Skoll.
"Yes, My Lord (Lord G.o.d)"
Fenrir Skoll once again ignored the priest and headed to the backyard behind the church. He can be late for cla.s.s and meetings but never on feeding his wife. Thankfully, he is able to wield Time Elements, and maturing the rose plants would be easy for him.
Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang handled the cleanup of the church after Fenrir Skoll left with a large bouquet of Crimson Juliet Rose in his arms.
Fenrir Skoll was in a good mood, "This should be enough for a few days." A rare smile would always sprout at the corner of his lips whenever he thought of his wife.
Even the priest who was frightened by his indifference just now couldn"t help but stare at Fenrir Skoll at this moment. His smile is so serene and beautiful to see.
"Have you found your Luna?" asked the Priest.
"That"s none of your business."
The smile on Fenrir Skoll"s face faded as soon as he heard the other man talking to him. This Evil G.o.d only shows his emotions when his beloved is involved; the rest cannot even enter his eyes, much less his world.
As expected, Fenrir Skoll ignores the priest after saying those words and walks away, "Yue, Yang, the rest are for you to handle. Clean up whatever that thing is asking for. I"m going back to see him now."
"Please go ahead." Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang said.
A few moments after Fenrir Skoll took his leave, the priest once again spoke. This time he is talking to Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang. He seems to be not offended when he was ignored by Fenrir just now.
The Priest spoke, "The soul inside that body had been replaced. A soul from the higher world and was not supposed to be in here. His soul is very similar. Similar to that Progenitor of the Blood Clan."
"You two are not humans. Neither is a vampire or a werewolf. What are you?"
Zhi Yue flashes a grin and says, "Why don"t you ask your G.o.d? Didn"t he revert your time and keep you young as the guardian of this world? Keylan Light~"
"As expected, you already know who I am... What is your intention in coming here to Genus Academy?" asked Keylan Light, the priest.
Zhi Yang answered, "Fret not. We have no other intention than to accompany Lord Ca.s.sius. Lord Fenrir wouldn"t do anything unless you move Lord Ca.s.sius. He is after all his long-awaited Luna."
"We"ve changed the carpet and made a door (s.p.a.ce portal) that reached the backyard without needing to enter the church to reach the Lord"s greenhouse." Zhi Yue said, "A"Yang, I heard the canteen in this place serves chestnut cake. Let"s get some~"
"Sure. I will go with you anywhere." Zhi Yang said.
Zhi Yue was still as friendly as always and looked back to wave his hand at the priest, "We are going now~ See you later."
Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang also took their leave after finishing their task. Meanwhile, Keylan Light who was left behind once kneeled in front of the altar communicating with the Heavenly Laws itself.
Keylan Light asked as he clasped his hands into prayer, "Oh heavens above~ are these people enemies?"
A voice coming from the heavens responded to the priest"s inquiries, "Feareth not. Those gents art, not thy enemies. Those gents wouldn"t moveth the w"rld as longeth the people doesn"t moveth one p"rson."
Translation: [Fear not. They are not your enemies. They wouldn"t move the world as long as the people don"t move one person.]
Confused, Keylan Light asked in curiosity, "A person? Can this servant ask who this individual is?"
[The Monarch of the Night, Ca.s.sius Ambrosia.]

By the time Fenrir Skoll returned to the main campus, the meeting between teachers had ended. He even b.u.mps into the teachers on their way out and was all staring at him to bring a large bouquet of Red Juliet Roses. In the eyes of the humans, he looks like he was there to confess his love for the headmaster.
Fenrir Skoll asked, "Is your meeting done?"
"Yes. Please go ahead. The headmaster is still inside." One of the human teachers said while blushing. Regardless of whether Fenrir Skoll is here for the headmaster or not, his looks as a Male G.o.d can capture the hearts of almost everyone.
"Sir Skoll, are those roses, Juliet roses? I heard those roses are expensive."
Fenrir Skoll acted friendly despite the depths of his eyes, completely unsympathetic.
"Yes, this is my daily gift to Ca.s.s. Is he still in?" He asked.
"Yes! Please go ahead."
Among the teachers, only those who were not human had a different reaction, especially the half-werewolf and dhampir teachers, Armand Hemming and Klaus Zane.
The thoughts of Armand Hemming, "The smell of blood is so strong on him. Did he get injured? Who the h.e.l.l can even wound him?! Wrist wound? Is his injury his doing?!"
Armand Hemming noticed the wound on Fenrir Skoll"s wrist. It was fresh and obviously barely healed though it was hidden under his sleeve for werewolves the scent of blood cannot be ignored. Klaus Zane, on the other hand, had a different point of view. His eyes lingered more on the red roses in Skoll"s hands.
Klaus Zane"s thoughts, "Impossible! Only vampires who haven"t directly drunk blood can be sated by Blood Rose. He said he will bring that to the Headmaster! Are they vampires?!"
But as if noticing the gazes on him, Fenrir Skoll turned to meet the eyes of the two teachers, Armand Hemming and Klaus Zane. He gave them a gesture of silence and flashed his werewolf"s eyes for a split second which only the two of them had noticed.
Armand Hemming was greatly shocked by what he witnessed, that he even forgot his manners for a bit.
"What the h.e.l.l!!!? You are... Mmpphh!!!"
Klaus Zane covered Armand Hemming"s mouth on time. Even though he was trembling in fear himself, he made sure that he shut up this stupid man before he said something that is not supposed to be said out loud.
"Please forgive him for his rudeness! I promise to teach him how to talk well..."
After forcing Armand to lower his head with his, Klaus Zane was nervously waiting to get Fenrir Skoll to forgive them. The ident.i.ty of the headmaster being a vampire and those beast eyes, Skoll Ambrosia had flashed just now. If he was illiterate, there is no way to mistake whose race owned beast eyes, adding the fact that pressure alone can restrain all of them meant that the bloodline of the other must be the purest of all.
Fenrir Skoll didn"t mind them at all and said nonchalantly, "Well~ teach him well."
"Skoll, you"re back. Did you bring my snacks?" The voice of Ca.s.sius Ambrosia was heard from inside the office.
"Of course, Ca.s.s~"
The one whose name was called happily entered the room without care for the ones outside. Fenrir Skoll went in holding the roses in his hand and closed the door after him leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
Armand, who freed himself from Klaus"s hands.
"Lau! Sir Skoll seems to be a Wer..."
"Shut up! Come with me!" Klaus Zane said, "I"m sorry. We will take our leave for now everyone!"
Klaus Zane dragged away this loudmouthed fool. Didn"t Sir Skoll Ambrosia already give them a warning? Of course! He couldn"t allow Armand Hemming to just tattle that person"s Ident.i.ty. The rest of the teachers can only watch Armand and Klaus leave after they bid their farewells.
"What is wrong with Teacher Armand and Teacher Klaus?"
