Chapter 99 - Students

"Let us go, Isaias, we should leave immediately. Time is at hand," Joan said to him. Patting his shoulders.

"Yeah, let us tarry now. Your adventurer registration awaits," Isaias said to him.

"Okay, here we go," Joan said.

While accumulating mana for his spell, he saw that other prophets were not minding them. Perfect timing for them not to see his spell.

[Teleportation]

They disappeared immediately without a trace. Just as the other prophets noticed, they were gone..

"Hey, where did Isaias go?" Asked the other prophet.

"They didn't open the door, right? Did you noticed that it opened?" Another prophet said while confused.

"No, we should all hear it open if they did." The other one said.

Just as Joan and Isaias left the place, they appeared right in front of the headquarters. Isaias was surprised and was impressed with Joan's capabilities.

"As expected of Joan, impressive as always," Isaias said to him.

"Haha, you should be. It was the least I can do. You should flatter me more! Hahaha!" Joan said and they both chuckled.

They soon tarried towards where Priscilla was. Thinking that she might get lonely waiting for them. Isaias leads the way and Joan was not disturbed at all with students greeting. He felt that he was like that when he was in his old age in the past. As he was teaching students in past in the academy, he was greeted too by many students. He felt such joy when reminiscing the past and he can relate well with Isaias' life.

Not until he was talked again in his back once again which was very contrary to what he experienced before. He can only grit his teeth at their harsh words thrown at him. They said it in a low voice but enough for Joan to hear them. He still hasn't enrolled yet and he has a bad reputation already. Thinking that he will be facing such a challenge in the future when he will enrol in the academy. His fate was nailed and he will be a target of other student's jealousy. Being a prophet's company sure has bad sides after all. It wouldn't be a problem if he was another prophet or a guard but he was a kid of their close age. A potential student or a becoming a school mate with such leecher was very agitating on their part.

Just as he was walking, he saw a two-storey building full of students. Staring at him with unsatisfied looks and others were gritting their lips. Others were biting their lower lips in their jealousy.

While he was walking, he stared at them and felt uncomfortable. But as he was walking some more, he saw a guy who was carrying red tomatoes in his hands. Throwing in his direction on the process. Joan didn't expect that they harbour bad feelings that deep and it led them to do such acts.

"Joan!" Isaias shouted. Running towards him.

Splatter!

The tomato was blocked by Isaias and it hit him on the back.

"Are you okay Joan?" Isaias asked him.

"You don't have to do that for me. I can evade them," Joan said. Isaias then chuckled.

When Joan stared back at the students, their glare which was bearing jealousy became filled with wrath. Thinking that their prophet was tainted with what was meant for him. Their anger became uncontrollable and they blurted out.

"Why do you think you are qualified to become Isaias' adopted? You filthy trash! The tomato was meant for you! Look what you've done! You tainted our precious prophet!" Someone shouted at the second floor of the building.

He was the type of person that was a class president. Or a class representative. He jumped from the second floor and landed on the ground below. Walking towards Joan, girls and boys cheered for him.

"My voice speaks for the entire students and I am challenging you to the position of adoption! If I win, " He shouted.

"Hey Isaias, this is your fault for declaring that I am your adopted. You should reflect three days for that." Joan said to him eyes narrowed. Pointing his finger at him.

"Hahaha, I am sorry Joan. I can't take that back can I?" He smiled at him.

"Anyone who wants to throw a tomato at Joan! You should throw at me first!" He said while his hands opened wide.

Joan ignored him and pulled Isaias on his hands. Other students were confused, they thought that Isaias was blackmailed and was forced to accept him as his son. Much more, they thought that they can replace his position as an adopted by challenging him into a duel.

"Let's go, Isaias, we can't do dramas here," Joan said while pulling him.

The one who was challenging him then blurted out.

"Hey! I am talking to you! Don't you dare turn away you lecherous manipulative coward!" He shouted.

Joan was taken aback, he was challenged by a student who proclaims to know him deeply at all. Joan smiled at him, he said that he was carrying the voice of the students in the school.

"Can I ask a question?" Joan asked smiling while eyes narrowed.

"What evidence do you have when you accuse me? I hate liars the most and story makers. Isaias, shall I punish this child for his insolence?" Joan said to him.

"Stay back brat! Prophet Isaias, don't listen to him. I know he just blackmailed you and you are only was forced to do his will." He said while blocking Isaias from Joan. It seemed to Joan that he protects Isaias from him.

Joan then felt disgusted, soon many more students protected Isaias and they said that they will protect him at all cost. Joan was dumbfounded, Isaias too. They felt this confusion was getting out of hand. Joan's face can only get crumpled as it tasted like a lemon slice. Joan then chuckled.

"Hahaha! Whoa! I am cornered! Therefore I give up and set Isaias free from my mind control! Then, I will lift my position of being his adopted and resign! Happy now?" Joan's eyes narrowed and the student's faces felt ecstatic.

"Yey! Whohoo!" They exclaimed.

The student who challenged him was happiest the most as tears flowed from his eyes. Joan then left immediately after they rejoiced.

Walking to Priscilla and fed her, caressing her hair while giving carrots. Immediately after a few minutes, Isaias arrived.

"Hahaha, you are a performer. You can act splendidly and even fooled them," Isaias said to him.

"Nah, it was forced. Like damn, they thought it was a big deal. I want to puke when I said those words," Joan said to him.

"Hahaha, let's go to the adventurer's guild. Maybe you will lighten up your mood there," Isaias said to him.

"Yeah, maybe I will," Joan said.
