As I made my way out of the infirmary, I headed for our homeroom class.
I was still a bit shocked.
I became a Yato disciple! Ahh, this would solve so many of my problems in the future.
The more I thought about it, the more I realised the potential benefits of this connection.
Finally, some positive developments were taking place.
It had only been three days since our departure from Academy City for our trip, and we had returned just yesterday.
However, it feels like a long time has passed.
–"Hey, look! Isn't he from that class?"
–"Class 1-Hero-1! Yes, yes! Such a tragedy. I heard some cadets in that class died on their trip, which was supposed to be a reward for them."
–"Truly a tragedy. Even though that guy named Adrian Blackthrone is in their class, they still suffered so many losses."
Continuing on my path, I overheard some whispers among the cadets discussing our trip in hushed tones.
While a pang of guilt gnawed at me for not being able to prevent the loss of lives even with my future knowledge, my attention was piqued whenever Adrian's name was mentioned.
Adrian's popularity seemed to be on the rise, not only his popularity will rise but also his enemy as well.
The rumours about him started to spread as he caught the attention of the 'New Sun' Organization.
That's how is supposed to happen in the novel but since the 'New Sun' Organization is now after me their attention on Adrian will not be that much.
I don't want to see any other plot twists, I have already seen enough.
Also after the 'Masscor of Silva' arc, Adrian will become a disciple of the Headmaster Hera.
So that means right about now Adrian has become Hera's disciple! Good! That's good.
With Hera becoming his Master Adrian's strength will rise at a higher speed which is very good for me.
With Adrian becoming strong I also don't have to interface the plot.
I can finally focus on some other things, Like becoming stronger than Adrian.
-Idot, that's impossible.
-Ah! Right.
Right after she finished her sentence before she could continue speaking, disrupting her speech were whispers that resounded throughout the whole classroom.
-Smack!
"Quiet!"
Smacking her hand on the podium, a small shockwave swept through the classroom. As if a strong gust of wind had appeared, everyone was pushed back onto their seats. I included.
A couple of seconds after smacking the podium, Lillian continued.
"Look, I know we have lost some lives but that's the world we live in, If you are not strong enough then you will die, it's a pretty simple concept."
"So if you don't want to die and you don't wish to make something like that happen again, all you can do is become strong, strong enough that no one can kill you. Do you understand?"
-Nod
Under Lillia a piercing stare, everyone could only helplessly nod their head in agreement.
Seeing everyone nod, a trace of a smile appeared on Lillian's face.
"Due to recent unfortunate events, after we returned from Silva City yesterday, I and the rest of the instructor had long and arduous hours of talk, the higher-ups have finally come to a unanimous decision to send all the first years on a two-week break"
Just as she finished announcing, right before anyone could celebrate, Lillian instantly poured cold water over them.
"But don't be too happy yet. After you return, there will be mid-term exams in the following month, so more than a holiday this is a short break before mid-terms..."
Mourns and sighs resounded throughout the classroom as the students all became crestfallen at the announcement.
'Two-week break?'
Great, when I thought that I would get some training with Yato we received yet another vacation but this time this break was for cadets to have their minds to get some rest.
Well, I guess I will be seeing my parents again but I know that Adrian will decide to stay at the Academy, Why? Because he doesn't have any parents.
I feel bad for him but just like said before 'What is done is done'.
Also with this vacation, I have some plans in my mind that I will finally be able to do.
