Chapter 2027 - Price
"Young Man, the Academy is not safe for you; Grand Commander wishes you come to the Pyramid," Old woman said, and it is not a request, I will have to go to the Pyramid.
I have no problem with it; I know that Academy would not be able to protect me and might even come to harm if Grimm Monsters attacks, but there are some things I have to do before I leave for the Pyramid, as it would be quite a while before I could have the confidence to return.
"Grand lords, would it be okay If I stayed in the Academy for a day, there are some things I have to do before I could leave for the academy," I asked them.
My request seemed to have caught them a little off guard, and they looked at each other, "We want you in Pyramid as soon we can, but we could allow a day," Old women said after a few seconds. "Thank you, I will not take more than a day," I said.
Old women nodded, and we flew down while the lord of Gla.s.s again had become invisible or left. I don"t know, its hard to tell when I cant sense him.
Soon we approached the roof of a teacher"s office building where the Teacher and the rest of the councilmen would be distance.
"You people are really idiots, you know that, right? Micheal, he is young and does not know a thing but you all, you should know what kind of ripples his breakthrough might create, especially you, Marina. I had not expected from you," Old woman said to Teacher and councilmembers.
"You have no idea what kind of price Pyramid had paid to save him, and for the consequences of that, you all will face some deciplanery actions," Old women said. I opened my mouth to beseech her, but the old woman just shook her head, seeing that I closed my mouth with a sigh.
It is not the teacher"s or councilmember"s fault but mine; I was the one who decided to make a breakthrough outside and somehow had alerted the Grimm Monsters that freaking coven members had come kill me.
"Teacher, would you ask my parents to come? They must be quite worried about me," I asked the Teacher. They would have seen the fight would be quite worried about me, especially my father. "I will call them; I am sure the Mistson would have no problem letting them come here," the Teacher said.
"I will be going to my home; I am feeling a little tired," I said to the Teacher and councilmen before flying toward my home with Grand Tower mistress.
I saw tens of thousands of people watching me as I flew; usually, I attract attention but not this much. There are too many people, and awe in their eyes is little suffocating to bear.
"Don"t let this wors.h.i.+p get into your head; many talented people throughout history have lost their way due to it," Old woman warned, and I couldn"t help nodding. While the awe and reverence of people are suffocating, it is also exhilarating; I could see people losing their way due to it.
Hun!
Soon, we reached my home and were about to enter when a yellow page with dense runic inscriptions appeared in the hands of the grand tower mistress bony hands, and she threw it at my home.
The yellow page flew at my lake house before seeping inside its wall, and a few seconds later, the runes have appeared all over the lake house, on every inch of it covered by them.
"This should be enough to ward off any intrusion for a couple of seconds," She said, "Thank You, lady Angela," I said as both of us went inside.
"You should take a rest; I am sure you would need a lot of energy once your parents arrive," Old woman said, hinting she knew why I had called my parents immediately after I finished with battle.
I nodded at her walked into my bedroom; the first thing I did was walk into the shower. This time, I did not have to take off any clothes as I was not wearing any, I just called back my armor, and I was completely naked.
The only thing I have is some herbal dust on my body which I wanted to wash off since I had made the breakthrough, but I did not get a chance due to the appearance of the Grimm Monsters.
Fifteen minutes later, I walked out of the shower feeling clean and less tired. I wore some comfortable clothes and laid on my bed before entering my core; I had sensed something from my core earlier; I wanted to check what it was.
"Nero!"
I shouted out loud the moment I entered my core, and the first thing I saw Nero, who looked quite beaten down and tears streaming from his face; he looked both pitiful and cuter at the same time.
"What happened to you?" I asked, seeing his beaten down state. At first thought, it was something core did but soon noticed that Nero had received the actual beating and there is only one person here who could beat him.
"Ashlyn, did you hit Nero?" I asked Ashlyn, who was sleeping on the smooth rock. Hearing me, she lazily opened her eyes and looked at Nero, who visibly shuddered in fear before glaring back at her through his wet eyes.
"Chew, Chew!" She affirmed with a lazy chirp and closed her eyes before I could ask her why. Seeing, that I turned to a sad little ball of fluffs in my arms.
"Did you do something to Ashlyn, Nero?" I asked him. Ashlyn is never an aggressor; while she is arrogant and looks down on everyone, she is never to take action first unless she has been instigated.
"No, I did not do anything to her," Nero denied but seeing my gaze, he finally told the truth. "I had just asked her to call me big brother since I could talk, and she could not," Nero said weakly with sobbing eyes.
Hearing that, I shook my head and ma.s.saged my temple.. No wonder Ashlyn had hit him; he was asking for it.
