The Neohpyte Nexus ended with my victory against Julian Klein who ranked 666th of the second-year students. The event closing was as much exciting as the main event itself.
Nuria gave a few speeches, an encouragement that triggered students' inner desire to become stronger.
I never knew she could give inspiring speeches. Did someone help her with the script?
Anyway, Neophyte Nexus this year was one of the best events the academy ever held. The only one where the first-year students overwhelmed the second-year students.
When the clock displayed 2:30 PM. The Neophyte Nexus 2030 officially ended with a perfect score.
Right now, I was getting treated in the treatment room. As a result of forcing myself to face the multiple wind blade strikes, I got injured in my shoulder area, the cut was a bit deep and it felt stung when the nurse applied a cure there.
As she finally healed my shoulder, I tried to move it.
"How is it?" The nurse asked.
"I feel better. Thank you!"
The nurse smiled and gave me one last check before leaving the room.
This place's wall was painted blank white, and the floor too was made of white marble, giving this place an innocent, pure, and clean environment befitting a room intended for treating a sick patient.
Patient beds were lined up in two rows, leaving a walkway in the middle. This room was large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred patient beds.
Three of the beds were occupied by Neophyte Nexus participants who were also receiving treatment. There was one bed with a patient who was sleeping soundly, it was Seo Yeong-Ha.
Well, she got hit by a powerful attack from the martial art genius, Baek Jin, no wonder she was left in that state.
Standing up from the bed, I walked toward the door and leave the room.
"Yo, junior!"
Waiting for me outside was Julian Klein, or should I say the demon Julron.
He leaned against the wall to the right side of the door. A wide grin was painting his face, making me shiver.
"I'm intrigued by your fighting style, is it possible for you to teach me?"
I looked him up and down, not even trying to hide my suspicion as I observed him.
"What's with that look? I just want to improve my combat ability by learning something new."
He acted friendly to me so suddenly, tapping my shoulder gently.
'If you want to lie, at least control your expression dude. Your true intention is leaking out…'
At this moment, while he was acting friendly, smiling here and laughing there. He was forgetting to control his face. The way his expression shifted stiffly and looked as if it was forced, his movement too.
On top of that, the faint noises that fill my head right now, as well as the glow emanating from the earring, indicated he was using his mind control or other mental-based attacks.
He still didn't give up on manipulating my mind, eh?
Well, let's feed him up this time.
"I understand, senior. I'll help you with your training."
"Great!" He grabbed my shoulders. "Come meet me behind the fourth-year student's dorm at night, the night breeze there is relaxing, it can help wash away our fatigue after training!"
"The fourth-year student's dorm? Sure."
After saying what he wanted, he disappeared from my sight, running out of the building with excitement.
Looking in the direction where he was running, I just shook my head as my mouth slowly turned into a smirk.
I still have time before the promise to meet Shannon in the park at the Crow realm.
Taking out the earring from my breast pocket, I examined its intriguing craft details. Not gonna lie, even though I knew nothing about artistry especially crafting, I could tell that this earring was made by a top, seasoned crafter.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The detail of pattern and texture in this earring was insane. I could understand it if it was done on a bigger canvas, but to do it on this small earring was just mindblowing.
"How come I've never known about this artifact?"
As I was drawn into the detail of the earring, I suddenly recalled Ember.
"Oh yeah. I need to give this back to her…"
But, after giving it a second thought, I decided to keep it with me for today. I still have to meet with the demon Julron tonight after all.
…
After wasting my time in the cafeteria, it was finally time to meet up with Shannon. But, as I was about to leave the building, my Nova Watch beeped.
When I checked it, someone had messaged me. Honestly, I had no idea at first, but after thinking for a while, I guessed that it might be from Shannon.
And hell yeah I was right, the message was coming from Shannon.
"Huh?"
Upon seeing her messages, I narrowed my eyes. I could feel my mood swing, my day was ruined and my disappointment was immeasurable.
[Sorry Zio, I had to leave for the apprenticeship much earlier than I expected >w
