Chapter 107: Zara

Everyone looked at Anthony in shock, and fear.

Their eyes almost coming off their sockets.

Although they were numerous spells and techniques that were obviously overpowered, they have never seen or heard anything like this before in their entire lives.

(Why would they hear it?, if someone had this move, then it would be saved as a trump card)

Everyone instantly raised their guard up to the maximum.

Although they were talking and laughing in the restaurant earlier and also talked while they stretched their legs during the thirty minutes break, at the end of the day, everyone was a stranger and they were just here to complete a mission and everything is done.

There was no trust or anything of that sort here, even Amos, Chika, and Zayne won't dare to say that they trust one another hundred percent as a treasure or money could just make one of them make a move against the other.

Even Meek adjusted and moved closer to his own personal body guard.

At the end of the day, Anthony was just a hired personnel.

He never trusted him at all.

Even if he was from the Academy, there was no guarantee he won't kill everyone here and take their treasures.

(Many people have done this already)

But as they all stood and stared at him with a wary gaze, a thought lingererd in their minds.

'If he cast such spell again, can we defend?'

This is indeed a good question.

This wasn't like elemental magic which people could see the attack, then defend, dodge or counter attack immediately, unless you have a soul skill, technique, or ability.

Even though Anthony always released his F rank aura, none of them were foolish enough to believe that as even they themselves sometimes don't even release any aura at all.

They weren't some brainless young masters.

"No need to be so afraid, we are comrades in arms, if nobody makes a move against me, I won't make a move against them, besides even if I made a move first, I'm sure the Academy would hunt me to death"

Anthony said with a smile as he spoke.

"I thought you were a swordsman due to the katana hanging on your waist, who would have thought you also practice magic"

Amos replied as he walked towards Anthony.

"Well let's just say I'm among the arrogant ones that refuse to stick to their class but multi-cultivate"

She sighed with a sad face as if she was reminiscing about her training.

Anthony knew it was all a charade, but he played along.

"Ahhh... Anthony do you have the wood elemental affinity so we can train together"

Zara said again as her face suddenly changed from sadness to happiness.

"Well, I haven't seen anybody with the wood element, it would have been cool just like you and maybe they can control an entire forest"

Anthony said with a sigh as he looked at the sky but he was eyeing Zara from the corner of his eyes.

Her expression was that of a disappointment as if him not having a wood elemental affinity just killed their training session.

'She really deserves an oscar award with this level of acting, she should reincarnate as an actress on earth'

Anthony mused silently as looked at her.

Meanwhile Zara was having crisis as she was just frowning.

Normally when you ask someone if they had a certain element, they either affirmed or replied with the one they possessed.

But Anthony did none of this, which made her have no progress with her digging out information from him.

The rest simply recovered their lost mana as they listened to their conversation.

But they didn't get any information after eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Well it doesn't matter, the fact that you work for the Academy means you are highly talented, did you graduate from the Academy"

Zara instantly came back on track.

To her question, Anthony replied again as he shook his head at her.

"I didn't graduate from the Academy, I just trained alone and tried my best to remain alive"

Anthony didn't lie to her, who knew if this woman had a lie detection skill or something of that nature.

Although he didn't lie, he could twist the truth.

And with that, he just twisted the answers he gave Zara.

There was no way Zara didn't have a lie detection skill, as she would surely take advantage of her charm and beauty, complementing it with such a skill would make her information gathering skill to soar.

But as she asked all these questions, Anthony could see that she was on edge, ready to react anytime if he ever made a move.
