Chapter 69: Peter's mystery

"She snores like a monster when she sleeps," Theodore said with a slight smile on his face. "Don't point it out at her face, however, as that is her reverse scale. Plus, when she is angry no one can help you."

"I will keep my mouth shut and never mention this event in front of her," Vincent replied with a similar smile.

They both were trying their best to hide their laughers.

"Now let's continue from where she left. The people in charge of these sections and the staff working under them have already been notified of your existence to avoid any problems."

"Lastly, I will be acting as your direct supervisor, guardian, or any way you wanna take it as you are the student under my recommendation. Let's swap our contact information so you can communicate with me when things related to your academic subjects are bothering you and vice versa."

Vincent let out a noise of approval. A few moments later, he was added to a chat group made up of three instructors and only one student. He could access the chat group by using his card. He could also call the instructors through his card.

"If I am about to hold a special event or training session in my class, I will directly inform you a few hours earlier. My classes cost a huge fee, but you can participate in my classes whenever you like for free. Normally, there is a huge line whenever I hold a class as I am pretty popular in the academy. So, I permit you to use the private backdoor to enter my classroom. The iron door you will see in such a case can be opened by using your card." Theodore said with a slight grin on his face.

"I understand." Vincent nodded. "However, I have a question. Can I bring my friends with me?"

"You mean your cute girlfriend that hangs around you all the time, right?" Theodore said with a teasing smile on his face.

"In particular, yes, I indeed am asking permission to bring her with me." Vincent felt no need to hide the fact that Leila was his woman as he was proud to be her man. "However, she is not the only reason why I asked this question. I'm asking whether or not four to five people can enjoy this particular benefit?"

He has already decided to form a squad to complete missions. He had a few people in his mind, but he wasn't sure whether or not they will accept his proposal. He needed cards by his sides as he believed that it will become hard for the people he wanted to invite in his mission hunting squad; to decline his proposal If he provides them with special benefits.

"Sure, it's not much of a deal. Also, make sure to bring the lad who was beside you during the entrance examination. He will be quite a big deal shortly after the entrance ceremony." Theodore gave him a free pass as it wasn't a privilege granted by the academy but a benefit allocated to Vincent by himself.

Hearing his words, Vincent's eyes blinked in part confusion and part surprise.

"You are talking about Peter?"

Aware of the heaven-shaking potential hidden in Peter's body, Theodore revealed a mysterious smile.

"Yeah, I indeed am talking about the boy that followed your suicidal footstep and shattered his arm after punching the iron wall with all his strength."

"You sure it's him? I have been with him for years, but nothing stood out about him, well, nothing except for his talent to endure a good beating…"

As soon as he said those words, the both of them could no longer hold back their laughter.

"Haha!" A pleasant wave of laugher came out of their mouths as they inclined their heads to the opposite side.

"I won't tell you anything for now. I will let it be a surprise for you rather than ruining all the fun. Anyway, it's not like you won't know what makes him special within a few days." Theodore said as he placed one of his legs over the other.

"I am looking forward to it," Vincent replied with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Let's talk about the special exam you'll participate in once the time comes."

As soon as he said those words, Vincent's ears perked up and his brows arched.

"The special exam will be held sometime after this month. It will act as a disqualification round in which every newly enlisted student selected for the nurturing program will participate. Though you can refuse to participate. However, if you don't participate, you'll lose your right to be heavily nurtured."

Immediately after, Vincent said, "I will definitely participate!"

"Great! The special exam will be held in the Flame Temple ruled by the Emperor of Flame, Liam Horus."

Vincent knew about the Flame Emperor. He was infamous for being a spendthrift and indulging in acts of lust and gluttony. However, he was more famous for being the companion of one of the five great heroes, The Unforgettable King of Time who disappeared after a grand battle that had shocked the world of Lorena. Some believed that the King of Time has died, the others belied that he has ascended this dimension and became the ruler of the time constellation.

The believers had even created a temple in his name. The Temple of Time stood on equal ground with the Temple of Twilight. These two Temples were just as powerful if not more and even more mysterious when compared to the four great royal families.

Theodore continued,

"The Emperor of Flame will bless a treasure to the ones that pass his test. You might already know that he is one of the richest men in existence. So, the treasure you'll get will be extremely useful."

The Flame Temple is built around around the island of wisdom. Liam Horus purposely established the Flame Temple around the island of wisdom to protect it from humans and monsters harboring insidious intentions. The island of wisdom is a mysterious place containing knowledge about ten hundred thousand techniques. It also contains the way to evolve higher grade energy like Mana into an even higher grade energy.

A single technique from that place can set a person for life.

It was easy for Vincent to understand that he will gain a lot from passing the exam set by the Emperor of Flames.

"As long as you pass the exam set by the Emperor of Flames, you'll be able to enter into the island eyed even by the four great royal family!"

Hearing his words, Vincent's pupils enlarged and his gaze burned brightly.

There was only one island that could possible entice all four of the great royal family.

The island of wisdom!

"Instructor, do you mean the island of wisdom guarded by the emperor of flames? The island rumored to contain the legacy of the Unforgettable King Of Times—one of the five great heroes and the honorary king of the Avalon Empire—that killed the demon lord terrorizing the world of Lorena and is believed to have ascended to become the God of Time and the lord of the time constellation by the followers of the Temple of time?" Vincent exclaimed in shock.
