Chapter 162 What a long day

While Bia was talking with Kyle suddenly Principal Ratric frowned and took out a vibrating communication crystal from his storage ring.

Everyone present inside the room went silent and a strange tension appeared in the air.

Bia looked up at the Principal who distanced himself from the others before the communication device lit up showing a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe.

-'The King!'

She exclaimed inwardly with surprise while secretly peeking at the communication crystal.

On the other hand, a confused expression appeared on Kyle's face. He sat up with a frown. If the Principal was speaking with the king that meant they were probably talking about the secret Realm.

'You are sure the other person is the King?'

-'I am 100 percent sure. I saw him only once when we went to the Royal Castle before we entered the Tower but his face isn't something I can forget. He looked just like Carcel's older version.'

'Can you hear what they are talking about through the communication crystal?'

Bia's gaze returned to the food and her ears perked up but she didn't hear any voice. She glanced at the Principal only to see a transparent shield around him.

-'Tsk, I can't hear anything. Their voice is blocked'

'Leave it then. Maybe it's not something we should know.'

'Anyway, tell me more about that Academies tournament we were talking about a while ago. It's never happened before because the Royal Academy doesn't need to show its dominance. The first reason behind its prestige is the Principal who is currently the only (SSS)-Rank in the whole Kingdom. Secondly, no matter their original status all the students studying inside the Academy have always achieved something incredible in their life.'

Bia talked with Kyle filling him whatever she heard about the tournament inside the room.

After a few minutes, Principal Ratric removed the transparent shield around himself. He walked toward George and the Elders with a grim expression.

George stood up and his expression was grim as well because if the King called so suddenly something was surely wrong.

"What happened?"

Ratric gazed at everyone inside the room with a serious expression.

"I am leaving for a while. I will return after the Academies tournament so take care of the Academy in my absence."

After getting a nod from all his trusted subordinates he chuckled to lighten the mood.

"Tell the students that those who worked hard and participated in the tournament will have a chance to get a special training session from me. I will teach them some life-saving techniques."

"Those old foggies from other Kingdoms are also doing it."

"Contact me immediately if there's any urgent situation. I am leaving."

Ratric waved his hand. He turned around and started moving but after he stepped forward his body disappeared from the room.

George looked at the fading image.

'Did something happen? Why did the King call him so suddenly.'

He massaged his temples and waved at the Elders with a serious expression.

"Go back for now."

Elder Han sighed and stood up.

"Let's leave little one."

He picked up Bia and with the other two Elders, he left the room.

After walking for a while, he looked at Bia with a smile.

"Should I send you back or would you like to stay with this old man for a while?"

Bia blinked her eyes and tilted her head cutely.

Elder Han chuckled seeing her reaction.

"It seems you can't understand what I am saying. Well, I should send you back because I have some work to do."

He walked toward the boy's dorm but then stopped outside the building with a frown.

"I know he is inside the building but I don't know his room location. It's such a hassle to go and acquire information about it from the main hall. I remember I gave him a communication device..."

His sentence was cut in half when a familiar voice resounded opposite to him.

"Master?"

Elder Han gazed at the person with a raised brow. Kyle was walking out of the building with a serious expression.

'How did he know I am here?'

Kyle ignored the suspicious stare he was getting from the Elder and approached him hurriedly.

While Elder Han was staring at Kyle Bia flapped her wings and started flying. She landed on top of Kyle's head. Her eyes sparkled when she thought about everything she did today.

-'Just like you said It's really fun to listen to others without their knowledge. I should do this often. hehe.'

Kyle could hear Bia's giggle inside his head. He suppressed his smile and stood in front of Elder Han.

"Thank you master for taking care of Bia."

Elder Han didn't say anything he was processing the hidden smile present inside Kyle's eyes. Suddenly a strange thought appeared inside his head which he didn't dare to believe.

'Don't tell me Bia understand everything we talked about inside the room? It's not possible right?'

His eyes landed on Bia who again tilted her head with her innocent eyes staring back at him.

'Maybe I am thinking too much?'

With a smile, Elder Han looked at Kyle. After seeing the latter fighting abilities he was proud of his student.

"It's fine. Now go and rest for today. You must have been tired after the practical exam."

"I am busy tomorrow but from the day after tomorrow make sure to come to the library after noon. I will teach you about Arrays as long as I am here. I saw the Symbols you drew on those pages, it wasn't satisfactory and needs more improvements but I can see you worked hard...."

He started pointing out Kyle's mistakes, like how while drawing the symbols Kyle didn't care about their thickness and how he cramped too many symbols in just a single beginner array.

Kyle listened to every mistake Elder Han pointed out with a stoic face but inwardly he was suppressing his laughter because Bia was saying something very opposite. n--Ovε1b1n

-'I am telling you in front of the other old individuals Elder Han praised you like you are a genius. He showed off that he is your master. Why is he complaining now?'

-'While watching you draw Arrays inside the projection he was laughing nonstop. He even said you are born to learn about Arrays! He said your beginner Arrays were perfect without even a single error.'

-'Tsk, Tsk, how can someone change their words so easily?'

Kyle gazed at Elder Han who was busy scolding him with a serious expression.

'He looks so serious. Are you sure we are talking about the same person?'

After a few minutes, Han finally left him alone. With a smile, Kyle went back to his room.

He picked up Bia from his head and pocked at her bulging stomach with a grin.

"You full?"

-'Ugh, don't do it. The food was too tasty so I ate everything they gave me.'

"Hmm, let's sleep then."

Kyle put her on top of a pillow and wrapped a blanket around her before lying down on the bed as well.

He gazed at the ceiling of the room with his black eyes for a while.

"What a long day."

After a few seconds, Bia could hear Kyle's peaceful breathing.

-'He can sleep so easily.'
