467 Monica's summons

With just the tip of the makeshift scale that I came up with now poking out from the inner wall of my room, the disciples gathered in my room instantly became startled, moving their eyes on top of this strange element that suddenly entered the room.

"What, you never saw pierogi-dragon scale?"

Using the opportunity when their eyes were averted, I instantly used all the speed I had to sneak inside and take up the same position that the illusion had, before pretending to open my eyes and uttering some bullshit name for the monster created right in my head.

While the origin of its name could be disputed, the fact that I suddenly felt hungry from all the thinking and had a moment of craving for this foreign, eastern European dish might have something to do with it.

"What the heck do you mean by that? No matter how powerful the beast… Wait, you are awake?"

With the female that dared to smack my fake face many times over clearly acting as a leader of this place with how she was the first one to respond to my words, I couldn't help but want to tease her up a bit.

"Yeah, I was peacefully cultivating my energy when someone started smacking me away. While I tried to calmly end my session, someone was rude enough to keep striking me, rendering all my efforts to gather my energy back to its proper shape, useless. Only when this scale struck the wall I managed to have a breather and properly finish my cultivation.��

Suddenly straightening myself up on the bed from my cross-legged position in which I pretended to cultivate, I jumped lightly into the air, before twisting my body to a slightly different angle and using this change to land squarely on the floor. After swiping non-existent dust from my simple clothes, I looked back at the astonished disciples with a question mark written on my face.

"What? Can a man stretch a bit nowadays without attracting those longing looks? I'm sorry, you are not my type, baby."

While her face was twisted in more of a puzzled look rather than astonishment, with my words clearly poking fun at her, this silly girl clearly grit her teeth before calming herself down and assuming haughty look on her face.

"The teacher is summoning you. You should head to the open chambers at once!"

With those words coming out of her prideful face, I couldn't help myself from continuing this small fun.

"I'm sorry, I was asked to limit my strength during the exam and ended up in this place rather than the dark blue division, so I don't really know my way around here. Seeing how you all came here to fetch me like a bunch of servants, I think I'm safe to assume you are free to guide me around? Thanks!"

Before any of the uninvited guests could say something, I simply walked towards the doors and opened them, before suddenly freezing up when yet another idea came to my mind. 

With those words, not only the leader's face turned red in fury, but all the other males clearly blushed in anger as well, yet I could see some hint of uncertainty steeming from the fact that I said those words with utter confidence!

Ha! They were one life too young to try to deal with me when I was practising my dao of bullshit!

Yet my rude words somehow managed to bear a tasty fruit, with this bunch actually trodding in front of me and leading me all the way to the middle part of the mansion, where a huge, circular room aking to a throne hall was located. Yet rather than leaving me and going on their way, the leading girl was held in place by one of her female friends, that stared at me with upturned eyes while trying to hide her blush. 

Did she really take my words seriously? What the fuck was wrong with those people! I can't even drop some naughty jokes around without them hoping I really meant it?!

"So you have finally come. I'm not going to comment on how long did it take you to pack your arse and respond to my summons. Come here and sit down, there is an important matter we need to talk about. You bunch, stop looking like abandoned puppies over there and come as well. This matter needs your attention as well!"

While I already expected Monica to have something to do with me, considering how eager she was to pull me into her own entourage, yet she somehow managed to catch me by a surprise when she called for the bunch of those disciples as well! While I didn't want to think about it, if they turned out to be her direct disciples just like me, I would be in for quite a harsh life in this sectslashacademy arc of my life!

Wait, what the hell am I even speaking?

I came here to get their knowledge and use their lives to level myself up! Unless someone would give me an opportunity to take over this entire place just like that, no matter how I changed now that Eve healed up my mental wound, I would still need to kill them up to level my system and rescue her!

"Listen up all, this matter is of great importance. While its already well known by everyone, considering how you are just a bunch of disciples, you might miss that bit."

With everyone sitting around Monica in the circle, I could clearly say that this kind of summons was not something that would happen every day from the clear anxiety visible on their faces. The fact that the shy and blushing girl that threw me some longing and curious looks sat right beside me and continued to rub her exposed knee against the outer part of my thigh wasn't ignored either!

"In just two days from now, the annual sect challenge will ensue. But while all the other sects will present their guardian beasts to the crowds… Our greatest allay, penguin sect, lost their guardian in the great struggle against this island core three months ago!"
