Chapter 195 About Party Leaders [Part 1]
All three of them were standing on the ground floor, the lifeless and ruthlessly slain body of the Corpse Eater still marring the ground.
A couple of seconds of silence flew by with the night wind after Northern asked why.
Ellis also showed intense interest in the next thing Annette was going to say.
However, she just shrugged with both her hands.
"Who knows? No one knows what that girl is thinking about. I personally think she's a disaster on two legs."
Northern paused, seriously thinking about it for a moment.
'Could the reason be related to the fact that we have to set out soon? But she didn't need to disband her party, did she?'
Even he could not come to a sensible conclusion to explain Raven's action.
"Well, I don't care," he declared and trudged towards the stairs. Annette and Ellis naturally followed him, albeit silently.
Both of them were probably still lost in the thought of what they had witnessed just now.
It was hard... incredibly hard for their minds to recover from the awe of it.
And the sad part was... they've not even begun to see what Northern was so much capable of.
This was just Northern just trying to maximize the [Formless] Attribute and know how to activate it willingly.
His mind has been searching for every possible answer to a certain question about this particular attribute after all.
They finally reached Northern's abode. Immediately, the door opened. Mr. Fluffy jumped up, stretched its leg forward and snarled audibly... it was almost as if it was greeting Northern, but that wasn't the case.
"Have you seriously been sleeping all the while?"
The beast made a low growl and caressed Northern's leg with its white furs.
"Ah, whatever... better don't get awfully comfortable."
Northern placed the three orbs on his bed, pulled the chair out from the table and faced Annette.
"You can sit here..."
Annette nodded with a downturned mouth, "Hm, so you are hospitable? That's unexpected and a good quality." Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
Northern's brows rose a little, "A good quality for what?"
"Okay, okay, five is okay. Don't bite me," Annette conceded, raising her hand slightly. "So, what do you want to know about the party leaders?"
"Everything."
"Oh, I see..." her lips slowly curled up.
Silence ensued the moment she stopped talking.
Ellis was standing by the doorside, leaning on the wall. Mr. Fluffy was sitting on the floor, paying attention like it could understand every human tongue they spoke.
Northern was seated on the bed, while Annette was on the chair.
Then her words came out, beautifully cutting through the decorum, words after words.
"So, first of all, we have thirteen party leaders. Thirteen."
She paused and looked at his face; it was unflinching. Then she continued:
"Ninety-nine students appeared in this land minus us, well obviously since we are not students." She allowed a soft giggle and carried on, "I know you know the narrative of how we got to this point, so I'm going to skip all that."
"Thirteen best students, both in talent and potential, were selected..."
"How? Through combat? Don't tell me you guys were holding a duel for leadership when you were surrounded by monsters that could attack anytime."
Annette laughed a little, "It'd have been more fun if we did that. But the Headmaster was the one that selected. Although there were several private meetings between him and Raven, I have no idea why though."
Northern looked down for a moment, then raised his head, nodding, "I see..."
"Well, the first party leader is Raven... her full name is Raven Light Kageyama, and she's..."
Annette had no choice in that moment but to pause because the moment she mentioned that name,
Northern's expression changed.
His eyes widened, and pupils thinned in; for a moment, he looked paler than usual.
Eventually, he raised his head and asked again.
"I'm sorry... what did you call it again? Her clan name?"
"Kageyama, Raven Light Kageyama."
'Okay, what the crap now?'
