Chapter 552 [552] Taking A Break [2]
[I"m sorry, I"ll try my best to make up for it but I hope you understand...]
I read the words written in fancy a.s.s cursive writing, and sighed. Of course, the letter was from Sabrina, who was apologizing for her actions back on Giganta.
"So it was you..."
I muttered to myself, When I was attacking the sword saint with my last attack, which would have killed him, my body felt strange. I could feel it as my fist reached the sword saint, something that surpa.s.sed the limits of my mentality and my physique.
And rendered me incapable of doing anything in a second, like my soul was suppressed.
I had my doubts...but it actually was her. I had felt the pressure and I knew about Sabrina having my "soul crystal" with her. Something that still irked me.
To this day, I don"t understand why Lanesha or Suleras did that, I can"t even hope to understand it.
"Sigh..."
However, I would be a fool if I were to be mad at her for using at that time, I would have killed the Sword Saint if it had not happened. She did a good job, and she doesn"t need to apologize. But I do understand why she feels like it"s necessary.
Imagine having your entire body, at the peak of its ability, suppressed and forced into unconsciousness.
"Well, I don"t have to imagine."
I chuckled, as I tossed the note down and laid down on my bed, taking my communicator I was about to call her when I noticed the time.
"d.a.m.n, She should be in cla.s.s."
It"s the middle of cla.s.s right now, so I simply left her a message. I called Sir Oliver.
[You woke up?]
He picked it up rather quickly, and before I could even say a greeting he asked that...
"Yes, Can I know how long I was asleep for?"
I didn"t check the date when I went inside the portal the last time, so I was truly clueless, All I knew was that the second year at shield had begun. So naturally, I was curious.
[It"s been a month and a half.]
"…!"
...
...
...
"d.a.m.n."
A moment of silence ensued as I processed the time period, and in my shock I muttered.
"... A month?"
The response came in quick.
[A month "and a half". You slept like a baby the entire time. You"re way behind on your schedule on both school and guild activities, furthermore, Do you know what rank you are right now? You may still be in the top ten, but you"ve dropped due to 5th due to your poor performance and absence!]
"..."
Instead of an explanation of what had happened during the month and a half I was unconscious, I got an earful instead.
"But it wasn"t my fault..."
[The period of absence wasn"t. But how could you have such a low score in the academic tests!? You pa.s.sed the physical and mana tests with flying colors, but do you know of how much of a blow you suffered with the theory?! If not for Sabrina helping you, you would have dropped out of the top 10 already.]
"... Ok. I"ll improve my scores..."
[Furthermore, do you know how much trouble your guild mate is causing?! Kazikato is just like you!]
"Wait, why is he getting invo-"
Before I could even pose a retort, I was stopped by Sir Oliver"s words, accompanied by a sigh.
[Sigh...]
"Sorry..."
I could do nothing but apologize...but hey this is unfair! In my heart, I was already cursing him at the unfairness of this situation. He"s being completely shameless! Did he forget that just before the Academic Convergence, we were at Terra d.a.m.num?! Sure, we teleported to shield to do the tests but...
Wait, never mind, he did give us cla.s.ses and kept us on schedule even though we were training.
Wait! We were training! Of course, my results in theory would be subpar!
Wait...the numbers for theory are calculated taken every test taken throughout the year into consideration...
But hold on! He is still shameless! I was unconscious for a month! You cannot possibly blame me for my absence!
Wait... Never mind, Sir Oliver did say my absence was excused...but what the f.u.c.k is he bringing Kazikato in for?!
What did he do that caused me trouble? He"s shameless!
Wait, never mind. Top ten students can issue letters of recommendation...
"f.u.c.k."
... That b.a.s.t.a.r.d did something wild even though he came here through my recommendation! And that put me in jeopardy!
"I"ll skin you alive when I see you!"
I thought as I gritted my teeth, Although I do not know what he did... It must be bad if the f.u.c.king princ.i.p.al brought it up! s.h.i.t!
"Sigh..."
I think I"m sighing too much...just like Sabrina.
"Anything else?"
I cautiously asked, afraid that there would be more. But thankfully, there wasn"t.
"Can you please explain what happened when I was asleep?"
I was curious about a lot of things, I know the existence of the portal could not be kept a secret after all that fiasco, I just want to know how far things have progressed...and what kind of situation Twilight is in right now.
The significance of the portal is simply too grand... Humans are a greedy species by nature, which adds to my worry.
[It"s at a stalemate. Not long after, the existence of the portal spread to every corner of the world and Askolt is crowded, with officials from every guild and the world government. It"s hard for even shield to handle the pressure, since I was sighted coming outside the portal...along with your Master. But the attention isn"t on him. Twilight is having a hard time managing everyone...]
"Hmm...as expected."
It"s going right as I predicted. Handling the pressure from every guild on the planet, the a.s.sociation, and also the world government...I don"t even want to think about how the distribution rights will be managed.
The worst scenario would be the other parties uniting with one another and completely depriving Twilight of the rights to access the portal. It sounds absurd...but it is possible.
However, no matter what I had expected would happen...what Sir Oliver said next was not even in my wildest imaginations.
