Chapter 57: Chapter 59 - Mutual Benefit



Inside the corridor leading to the director's office, through the main building, a man walked while getting the attention of several students, as his silver hair attracted a few glances from the female students, considering that his facial features were somewhat attractive.

'What was her ability again?' Avendial, calmly walking towards the director's office while holding the book belonging to the classes he had just attended, tried to recall his memories regarding Amrita, wanting to remember what kind of awakened abilities she possessed.

But after thinking clearly, he found that there had been no instances where Amrita used any abilities, considering that she had even been killed by someone he had sent after her. He had not even been able to see her last struggle to understand if she possessed any ability.

However, considering the way Lin and others in his group treated Amrita as if she were a treasure, he concluded that her awakened ability must be something that could be very useful for them. For that reason, he decided to put her aside for now on the waiting list.

"Oh, Mar—I mean Professor Aven, how was your day?" the Director, who had just arrived at the door of his office, glanced toward Avendial, moving in his direction. The director, holding a cane, had a mustache that appeared dominant above his old physique.

"Hello, Director, it was really a good experience," Avendial nodded as he greeted the director, whom he had seen after three or four hours, though of course, without halting for formalities, he directly moved inside the director's room, leaving the director hanging outside. The director coughed, feeling awkward, and also followed behind.

"Don't come inside," Avendial gestured with his hand toward the director, who halted and gave him a blank look, remembering that just moments ago, even Aecilia had done the same and had sent him away from his own room. And now it was Avendial who did the same.

'It's my room, though,' the director thought as he lowered his gaze before turning away from the room, really feeling that he had been thrown out of his own room in a way where he couldn't even retaliate, given that those who had taken it were far more influential even for someone like him.

"Have you slept well, Miss Aecilia?" Avendial, with a steady step, entered before slowly opening the door. The first sight that greeted him was Aecilia seated on the sofa with her head supported by her hand as if in a deep sleep. She slowly let one eyelid slide up, revealing a deep golden hue as she looked towards the man who had arrived after a whole two hours.

"Indeed, it was somewhat comfortable here," Aecilia replied with a calm voice while her eyes glanced toward the sofa near her, where Rihane sat with a blank look and a contracted physique—joint legs with clasped hands buried in it while her eyes were fixed downward—a after-effect of spending two hours in the presence of Countess Aecilia Sertsul.

After all, Aecilia knew that he was just entertaining her because he wanted her to do some work for him.

"I never lie." With those words, and following Aecilia's movement, Avendial also stood from his position before lifting his suit and draping it over his shoulder, with one hand resting in his pocket as he made his way out of the office room.

With those words, both of them left the director's room while Aecilia moved forward at the front, while Avendial followed behind her. Both of them were attracting the gazes of several students.

Now that it was time for all of them to leave their classes, most of them were available on campus, making their way out of the academy. As if it were the first time they saw someone appearing this charming in real life.

"Hey, look over there."

"Oh my, are they celebrities?"

"Click a picture; isn't she beautiful?"

"Shhh, idiot!"

One after another, several moments started to fill the campus as the students walking in the path looked in the direction of Avendial and Aecilia. Naturally, not all the students, but a few of them were enchanted at the sight of seeing someone this charming for the first time.

Naturally, it was not that there weren't any beautiful or charming individuals inside the academy, but the confident aura and the cool demeanor surrounding these two individuals were what made the students glance in their direction while a few of them even clicked images.
