Chapter 701 Trust, Greed & Naivety
After the friends talked for a while, Zeke mentioned something Michael had totally forgotten about.
"By the way, I noticed that you haven't submitted your final exams yet. Are you planning to leave the academy, or did you forget to apply for exam exemption?"
Michael tilted his head in confusion.
"You...have no idea what I'm talking about, right?" Zeke figured.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"No. Well, yes. It's just that I forgot that I'm still a student at the academy. I don't know why, but I feel like I graduated already," Michael said in all honesty. He thought deeply, "How do I apply for exam exemption?"
It was a hassle, but it was better to apply for an exam exemption than leave the Saphirelake Military Academy. He didn't care much about studying there anymore, but he figured that it was good to stay since it was the first place where Berserkers, Warlock Centaurs, and Humans were taught together.
It was a great place to find suitable Awakened for his territory. His friends were also at the Saphirelake Military Academy. He didn't really want to leave. However, Michael was not willing to continue studying either.
"Most Descendants apply for study and exam exemption after their second year in most academies. They learned enough in their youth to graduate, but instead of graduating immediately, they socialize with others and focus on their territory development. Most Descendants will improve their understanding of their Inheritance techniques and Legacy Arts after their second year at the Saphirelake Military Academy. That's also why most families consider their children's growth until they turn 20 as the establishing of their foundation," Zeke explained.
"It's still important that we're not slower than our peers, but our parents think that it is more important to establish a proper foundation in the first two years of our awakening. Two years, or four years in the Origin Expanse, are supposed to be more than enough to solve all issues with your territory's environment if there are any, and to create the perfect foundation to start expanding aggressively after that," Lincoln added, taking Michael by surprise.
"So, you're saying that you guys didn't even start expanding aggressively yet?" Michael asked. He was certain their families had supported his friends so much to ensure they could expand aggressively, but that didn't seem to be the case.
'But...'
[You don't have to be suspicious of your friends, but never say that they would never deceive you. You don't know that. The only ones who won't betray you are Tiara, Frederik, the Berserkers, and Warlock Centaurs who underwent the rite of the War Goddess. The True Links of Loyalty and the Oath of Loyalty aren't things that come into existence if they're not 100% loyal to you.]
The others didn't notice that Michael spoke to Danny. They were busy talking to each other about their territories, their businesses, and the like.
Michael was a little uncomfortable as Danny's words resounded in his mind, but it was not like his brother was wrong. He knew he had been foolish to trust his friends would never deceive him. It was just that Michael didn't want to acknowledge the possibility.
Michael was aware that his friends were jealous of his Soultraits. He also knew that they were happy for him. Deep in their hearts, they couldn't help but think that it was unfair that Michael was so fortunate to awaken Extraction. They didn't even know half of what Michael had to endure to fuse so many Soultraits. Most people would have died long before they procured their third Soultraits, yet Michael prevailed. He survived. He defeated everyone who obstructed his path.
He learned to be ruthless in the face of those who wanted to harm him.
Michael sighed deeply. He didn't know how their discussion about the exam exemption turned into this.
"Why are politics such a mess?" Michael mumbled, but everyone could hear him.
Lincoln and Zeke stared at them with a tinge of guilt and surprise in their eyes while Maria looked at him a little sad. It was not hard to tell that Michael understood only a portion of what was going on in front of him now.
Michael was still relatively new to the political world and hated it.
