Chapter 251 I think Nine is...

Meanwhile in a different place surrounded by thick green trees. Bia was sitting above someone's body with a bored expression.

A far contrast to before half of her feathers were blue with a layer of green at the edges. The remaining red feathers were shining with a golden hue under the moonlight.

Her small body moved up and down at a rapid pace when the person below her did one push-up after another.

She lifted her reddish blue eyes to look at the crying figure a few meters away from her.

-'Tsk, he is crying again. Why can't he stay quiet even for a second?'

She grumbled inwardly and wanted to roll her eyes. The figure was Nine. His brown were lidded with dirt and his body was filled with sweat. He was wearing a half-sleeved shirt with tight trousers.

The area around her was dimly lit up with many round orbs flying above the youngsters who were doing push-ups with one hand.

She looked down at Alec who was the most diligent one and an evil idea appeared in her mind.

-'Should I increase my weight?'

In the next second, the person below her trembled when the pressure on his body doubled. Alec gritted out with a bitter smile.

"Bia... be merciful I am gonna collapse at this rate."

Bia chuckled and lowered her weight. After Kyle awakened his bloodline a lot of changes happened within her body. She gazed at the white-haired old who was currently cursing Nine with a fed-up expression.

After an hour the old man finally let the youngsters go. He cleared his throat and gathered the kids in front of him.

"Today is the last day of your training. Tomorrow afternoon George and a few individuals will take you all to the outer layer of the black forest. For the next month, everyone will hunt monsters and increase their battle powers."

Amidst everything he didn't forget to glare at a certain brown haired who made his life difficult.

"Go rest for the night. Just camp around the trees this area is safe."

He looked at a certain someone with a deadpan expression.

"Also, if anyone tried to run away. This time I am going to break their legs!"

Nine shivered and hid behind Carcel with a grim look.

"I messed up again. This grumpy old man is too cruel!"

Carcel chuckled and shook his head at Nine antics.

The old man humped. He turned around and left the kids alone.

All the youngsters sighed with relief and cheered inwardly. For some reason, no one wanted to see this old man ever again. He trained them so hard that their bones almost cracked!

They staggered around with sluggish footsteps. Any place was fine as long as they could sleep peacefully.

Amidst the tired crowd, Bia noticed Nine was secretly moving away from everyone.

She almost laughed out loud.

-'He just received a warning but he is still trying to run off!'

She left Alec's shoulder and started flying. A few eyes looked at her but they didn't think much about it because this area was safe.

Bia followed behind Nine who ran off in the trees, she was itching to make some loud noise so the old man could catch him but stopped because instead of running away Nine simply went toward a nearby waterfall.

-'Huh? Don't tell me he just wants to take a bath?'

She sighed with disappointment and was ready to fly away.

-'What a pity I wanted to see him in tears.'

However, what happened next made her stunned for a second. Nine slumped down on the ground with a groan. He put his feet in the water and under the dim moonlight, his skin started glowing in a bright blue color.

Bia stopped moving and stared at his bright skin with wide eyes.

Nine looked up at the sky with a pained expression. He started grumbling in a faint voice.

"Sigh, I almost died due to dehydration. That fucking old man! I told him so many times I don't want to enter the Secret Realm so why the fuck is he not letting me go! I just want to secretly murder him in his sleep!"

Bia perked up her ears and listened to him quietly. She already had her hunch about his race and now seeing his skin glow in such an unusual way she was 60 percent sure about her guess.

Her thoughts were disturbed when Nine turned around to look toward the place where she was sitting.

"Who is there?"

He shouted out and stood up immediately but when he saw Bia's small figure on a nearby tree he sighed and sat down again.

"Oh, it's Bia. I thought it was the old man."

Nine stretched his arms and looked at Bia who started flying and arrived beside him.

He chuckled when she stared at his skin with curious eyes.

"Are you surprised? Well, it's normal I am different from others. Everyone from the sea had this trait. Our bodies start glowing if we are actively absorbing water but keep it a secret okay? Don't tell Kyle when you meet him. I wonder what he is doing. It's so long but there is no news about him."

Bia nodded with seriousness, making Nine laugh again. However, he was unaware of the fact that Bia was someone who could never keep a secret.

While he was soaking his feet in the water with a pleasant expression she was already speaking with Kyle through their mind link.

-'Kyle.... I think Nine is...'

Her words were cut off when Kyle replied immediately.

'I know.'

.....

Some time ago in the place where the auction was held. Kyle and Yue quietly walked in the narrow path for a minute and arrived in a room filled with large square-shaped metal cages. The upper part of the cages was covered with thick black blankets, hiding everything within completely.

Yue looked at the cages with knitted brows. Her ears twitched when she sensed faint breathing sounds from the covered cages. Among the silent breathing, there was a faint sound of water coming from one of the biggest cages.

Kyle wanted to remove the blanket from the cage from where he sensed the water sound to see what was inside when Regius's voice sounded behind him.

"Did you both find something?"

He stopped beside Kyle and gazed at the cages.

"This... I thought they were only going to auction the mermaid."
