Chapter 69 Entering The Academy



Many young people have been flocking to the academy ever since the news broke out that it will be reopening next week.

Due to the events that transpired during the outbreak, the academy has made the decision to provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their socio-economic background.

All individuals are now eligible for admission, and the academy will assume responsibility for covering their accommodations throughout their first year at the academy.

This gave a lot of youngsters a chance to attend Pontiac Academy.

Pontiac Academy also promised that they would be changing how everything would be conducted, which assured all the people that no such thing as the outbreak would occur again in the future.

This time a greater number of students have come compared to the previous gathering, with a minimum estimate of four to five thousand students.

"Hey, do you guys think that Zenryx Raverdieu will enter the academy also."

"I do not think so; he did say back then that he would enter next year."

"We never know; he might come, right?"

"The academy also changed how they will be doing the ranking test. How do you guys think they will conduct it?"

Just as these conversations among them were going on, one figure noticed a ship arriving at the academy.

"Hey, that should be a Tier S ship, right?! What the? Is there a new professor also?"

"Let us go check!"

They thought it was because one of the professors had died during the outbreak that a new professor had been assigned.

They hastened towards the site of the ship's landing, fueled by their curiosity regarding its occupants, only to be taken aback by the unexpected revelation that it was not a professor, but rather two young ladies who emerged from within the ship.

"Hey, It is actually Fiona from the Raverdieu family!"

"Who is that girl next to her, though? She looks cute like a doll."

Fiona and Xue abruptly stopped on their tracks just beyond the threshold of the ship's door, accompanied by a visible manifestation of Fiona's displeasure etched upon her face. While Xue remained expressionless.

Seeing this, Zen also walked out of the ship, exclaiming, "Hey, hurry up, what are you two doing just standing there?" As he glanced towards the front, it seemed that the entire vicinity was crowded with people surrounding them.

As Zen's figure emerged from the ship, it was as if someone had hit the mute button on the whole crowd. Not a single word escaped their lips, as though the world had suddenly run out of words.

'Damn, what is wrong with these people, it's as if they had never seen someone handsome.' Zen said internally.

He jumped out of the ship and instructed Fiona and Xue to follow him. As they walked forward, the crowd subconsciously stepped aside, leaving the entire crowd baffled about his unexpected arrival at the academy.

"Hey, do you even know where you are going, Zen?" Fiona questioned him while they were walking.

"Of course," Zen responded confidently.

"Stop acting, you have never been here before, how could you know? Like, where even are we? This is not the way to the office."

"Stop talking and just follow me; you talk too much."

Fiona was quite confused, but she followed him anyway because she thought that Zen was always right and did not question him any longer.

Then they entered a large building, and inside was actually a path that led to the office.

"Ah, it seems like a shortcut to the office, how does he know this?" Fiona mumbled.

Both Zen and Xue had already submitted their application online and just needed to show up for appearance purposes to confirm that they would be attending the academy.

As for the test and such, it will be rescheduled in three days. This decision has been made in light of the considerable influx of students, resulting in substantial delays in the completion of the enrollment procedures at the Academy.

It was imperative for them to authenticate the eligibility of each student in order to ascertain their qualification to enroll in the academy.

Once they were inside the large office, Zen saw Hawkin, Lector, and Anna inside. They were the professors he met back at the outbreak.

They were in charge of the first years, but one professor was missing because he was already buried six feet underground.

Many young people could be seen lined up.

Zen decided to cut the line and just went straight to the front. Seeing this, someone from the line who notice him wanted to go and tell him off.

"Hey! You go back in–" Someone spoke up grabbing him by the shoulder. But just as he was about to finished his sentence, Zen turned his head around to look at the person who grabbed him.

That person instantly became pale and swallowed his words.

"What do you want?" Zen questioned in a domineering tone. "Get your hands off me or else I'll cut your fingers one by one."

"No-nothing. Go ahead, young master Zenryx." He anxiously responded while hurriedly pulling back his hand.

Seeing Zen turned back and leave he heaved a sigh of relief. 'Ah my precious fingers are safe!'

But once his name was said out loud by him, it grabbed all the people's attention, and all their gazes were directed towards Zen.

"Hey, that is Zenryx Raverdieu! He actually came!"

The three professors also saw him. Zen walked towards the front of the queue and talked to the three professors, but they did not really mind him cutting the line because Zen had really helped them out during the outbreak; this is the least they can do.

Once all the formalities were finished, Zen, and Xue all decided to go look for the rooms they had been assigned to by the professors.

As for Fiona, she already had a room, so she just accompanied Xue, as it seems like Zen already knew where he was going.

While they were doing all that, what they did not know was that countless battleships could be seen arriving at the Academy. Like they were ready to launch an all out war!

All people currently present outside the academy's vicinity looked at the scene with worry, sensing that something big might happen again.

An imposing figure emerged from a large ship, exuding an air of authority.

He projected his voice with an intensity that resonated with his commanding presence: "Where is the Dean responsible for overseeing the Academy? Come and provide me a comprehensive explanation regarding the death of my son!"

His words reverberated across a radius of five miles, audible to all within that distance.

His voice reverberated and shook the surroundings a little, causing multiple fissures to appear on the ground while all the people covered their ears in pain.
