Chapter 350 Current Power
"Julius? You brat... what are you doing up here with the superiors?" Drafos addressed the young spirited man.
"Don't try to boss me around old man, I could still kick your ass at any time."
"Are you sure about that?" Drafos suddenly turned past his shoulder, glaring at Julius with a hint of his spiritual energy shot toward the Vice Principal.
"Woah! Calm down there great Hand! I'm not trying to start a war here!" Julius joked, as Yesan faced the leaving crowd and exclaimed,
"That boy... you once called him a Phoenix in the rubble, no? I'm surprised that you had such an insight so early on. It seems you were right in the end."
Julius quipped in reply, "You're surprised? What is that supposed to mean? Of course, I could tell that! Do you take me for a weakling?" He joked.
"A Pheonix? I would hardly consider him a bird, let alone a creature like that." Atlas exclaimed, almost scoffing.
"A Phoenix ey?" Drafos mused out loud, "The Phoenix of Yaltas, the easternmost Kingdom within the tribunal."
Julius stepped in front of the three of them with a proud smile on his face, "Phoenix Of The East... I wonder how he will perform in this deployment. His mission is not an easy one."
Soon, Lyrian made it to his dorm room for what he knew would be the final time that year.
Before he entered, however, he spoke with Alten and Leon for a bit.
"We will meet again tomorrow before they probably teleport us to our destinations. Then, we will say our final goodbyes." Alten exclaimed, looking at his two best friends.
"I'm going to miss you guys... damn it." His eyes seemed to moisten a little as he quickly wiped them. "I didn't want to get emotional... but this kind of sucks."
"Don't worry, Alten." Lyrian suddenly placed his hand on Alten's shoulder, as the boy raised his head and faced Lyrian. "I will miss you and Leon too." He said, which slightly took both Leon and Alten aback.
"Are you sure you are still the same Lyrian that we know?" Leon joked as Alten chuckled while continuing to wipe his tears.
Then, both Lyrian and Alten turned to face Leon. In an awkward moment of silence, Leon quickly retorted, "What? Well, of course I won't miss you guys. That's for the weak!" He replied in a slight fluster.
"When we meet again, just make sure you two are still strong. No... get far stronger than you are now, and I'll be happy."
Lyrian and Alten both laughed on hearing this, 'He doesn't want to admit that he will miss us, but he still wants us to grow stronger.' Lyrian mused inwardly.
"Of course, and you better do so as well." Lyrian retorted as Alten nodded.
After that, a short moment of silence took place between the three.
For that time, not a single second of it felt awkward or out of place.
They didn't need to talk, only think for a few seconds in quiet.
"Until next time," Lyrian said, as Alten and Leon nodded.
The three departed, entering their own rooms.
lightsnοvεl Lyrian entered his to find his roommate waiting for him.
On top of his head was Nova, who had been waiting for his master's return.
As soon as Lyrian took a foot inside, Nova quickly flew towards him.
Lyrian expected a warm welcome but instead was met with a pile drive straight into his stomach.
This bird wasn't too weak either, so he actually felt it take some air out of his lungs.
"Oof!" He exclaimed as Nova returned to his shoulder.
"You silly bird! What do you think you're doing!?" Lyrian yelled at the Pheon, but at that moment, his roommate answered for Nova.
"You left it for an entire day! Of course, it would be mad! Don't you know how Spirit Pets work? They are linked to your spirit. If they are separated from you for too long, they highly dislike it. Only trained pets can do so without any trouble."
The boy seemed to care a lot about not just Nova, but Spirit Pets in general.
"Anyways." His roommate suddenly fell onto his bed, "I saw you in that exam. Although you are a peasant with no noble background, you aren't too wea--" The boy cut himself off, imagining Lyrian not listening to him anymore as that was what always happened.
He quickly sat up and faced forward once again.
This time, however, he was surprised to find Lyrian still there, listening to what he was saying.
For some reason, a smile tugged on his lips, and he couldn't help but feel a sort of slight joy.
"R-right..." He stammered, "As I was sayin--" This time, he was cut off by Lyrian, who exclaimed,
"That's great and all, but I have to prepare more for this deployment. I'll talk to you later if possible." He said, taking off his shoes before hopping into his BF module.
Kyro, Lyrian's roommate, was left speechless. "That... stupid bastard! How dare he!"
As soon as Lyrian stepped into the BF module, he entered the solo sandbox game mode.
"It's been a while since I've accessed my creations in real battle. I also haven't seen my skill masterpieces for a while. Let's see just how powerful you four have gotten... come out!"
At that moment, four giant figures appeared before
him.
Each stood with a menacing aura, representing utter strength and ferocity.
He couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Gear, tell me the status' of each one." He said, looking at his creations.
