Chapter 186 Arcadia Academy#13

"Tell her I will be visiting her later on. For now, I will be with Adara or if she really wants to meet me, then she can come see me in the evening herself," I said before looking at Adara and continuing,"let's go."

Adara and Lucas were really surprised to see me walking towards Adara as I ignored Lucas' words. However, Adara rejected my statement as,"I think it would be better if you go meet her."

Lucas nodded at it as he spoke,"I don't know what kind of person you are in reality, but in this Academy, it would be better not to go against hierarchy unless you have a very strong reason."

I turned towards both of them, for a few moments standing silently, before asking Lucas,"can you at least tell me why is she calling me?"

"The Starting Ceremony of the new batch. The top 2 Unorthodox and the top 5 Orthodox are asked to visit her and stand beside her when she would be giving the speech," Lucas spoke and I recalled whether there really was something like that. Though, I guess it would make sense given how this Academy works.

I sighed before speaking,"sure." This time, however, Adara was the one who spoke out loud as,"but shouldn't that ceremony be tomorrow after the rankings are finalised?" at which Lucas shook his head, saying he didn't know anything about that.

"Let's go. We would get our answers there," I spoke before the two of them stared at me for a few moments before beginning to walk in the same direction as me. I looked around and saw Sabrina Carter missing from the area, the second ranked Unorthodox this time after me.

It took us about 15 minutes to reach the other 5 Orthodox ones along with Sabrina, who was standing. Looking at those people, I found two familiar faces, one of which really surprised me.

As soon as I entered, some of them looked at me with surprise while the others just ignored me, as if I didn't exist in this place. Ignoring them, I reached towards the place where Sabrina was and stood beside her.

Sabrina had orangish hair that reached down to her waist, and her blue eyes seemed quite vibrant. There was a tinge of curiosity on her face and she looked like a lively extrovert, who was both smart and mature for her age. She looked about 20 years old, with a thin but slightly athletic body.

"Hey, you must be Aidan Williamson. Nice to meet you. I am Sabrina Carter. Hope we have a blast in the Academy," she spoke as she turned at me with a cheerful smile. She was wearing a tight top with a short skirt. Her blue eyes' vibrance was enhanced by her bright orange hair.

I shook her hand, making almost everyone around look at us before she turned around and saw an old lady moving towards us who was analysing each and everyone of us.

"Bow to the principal," one of the teachers spoke, and the others immediately complied. Both the teachers and the students had their heads down… all except me, of course. I observed them all bowing silently with their heads down. Some were confused, some were curious, while people like Adara and Lucas were doing it with their hearts without any other thoughts.

'I guess she must have a reputation,' I thought before moving a bit to the side and standing at the corner as I observed the rest of them.

The Principal, Amelia Williamson, looked at me with a sigh before turning at the others and speaking,"Raise your heads."

As soon as the command was given, all the teachers stood up and moved towards me before speaking,"Mr. Aidan Williamson, you are expelled from this academy." Though before I could do anything,"it is fine. We need him," Amelia spoke as she looked at me and then turned to the others. The teachers' faces were already ashen and looked like I had already made some enemies here.

'I didn't even bow in front of those monsters. No way am I going to bow in front of anyone I don't even know properly,' I thought as I sighed while the others just looked at me with pity.

"Normally, I call people here after the final rankings are established, but since I have seen your strength personally, I can more or less see that there would be no change in the Orthodox ones. Hence, I called all of you here," she spoke before turning to Michael Laurentz, the top scorer of this batch.

'He is the cousin of Lucas, last I remember. The one Lucas killed with his own two hands a few months later. Wonder what happened,' I thought as I observed him looking almost as similar as Lucas except with a really arrogant look on his face.

Looking at Michael, Amelia observed him carefully before turning to Elizabeth Williamson, sweet Elle, who made it to the second rank. The only reason she wasn't at the first was because she wasn't directly assessed; only her stats and skills were assessed and not her battle prowess.

'That too only those which she wanted the others to know,' I thought as I observed Amelia smiling at Elle before moving to the third person. Klee, the 3rd ranked person, a blonde girl with an aloof personality and looking at the way she was playing with her hair… she was going to be a handful.

4th is Eliza… younger Sister of Cristine. When I saw her skills, I was pleasantly surprised upon seeing them. What was even more surprising was that she wasn't even 16 properly. This was really good news.

'Perhaps removing her curse… was a really good decision,' I thought as I looked at Amelia, really happy with all the three girls before reaching the 5th ranker, Peter Richard, the blue-haired, blind guy who had one of the most cursed Systems on this planet.
