Chapter 63: A letter and a night attack

Three people were there, the three who had approached him earlier. The big guy and the two followers.

One of the followers of that guy was Liam Brown.

'He seems to be strong.' Matt thought, and just then, the bigger one whispered something in his ear.

A mischievous grin formed on both faces as Liam Brown nodded at his words.

Matt smiled as he saw this, too, 'Malice and murderous intent, eh? Hehe, well, looks like being a murderer will haunt me even in this life.' Matt thought and stopped paying attention to them.

Their fight would be the next day, so he didn't need to pay attention to them.

Then Isla's fight was announced.

"Isla, it looks like you're lucky this time. You might make it into the top 16." Matt said after seeing Isla's opponent. He was one of the weakest of the remaining people, so Isla smiled seeing this.

It was better that the tough fights would come her way once she had secured a good position, so she was happy.

After this, they left the arena and returned to their rooms.

That night, a messenger bird arrived with a message for Matt, causing him to frown.

There was a letter and something similar to a slightly heavy token.

'Alice?' He thought as he saw that the written Letter bore his name and signature.

Then he opened it. There wasn't much written on it, but it made him frown.

-Matt, I had to return to the Family. Something big is happening; a strange organization attacked several of my brother's subordinates, so I asked my father to send you protection; it is possible that they will arrive a day after the arrival of the Letter.

I don't understand what is happening, but according to my father, someone may be targeting us. I can't say much in writing; as long as you stay at the Academy, you will be protected, so try not to go out these days.

'Heh, you're going to use little assassin tricks against me? You're an idiot.' Matt thought and quickly jumped through the smoke, locating his target, who was running at high speed, trying to escape.

Matt immediately used his dimensional move to appear above him, ready to strike him and pin him to the ground, but then he frowned and brought both arms to his chest to defend himself from an attack from the front.

'Archer?' Matt thought and was hit squarely by this attack. Both arrows dug slightly into his flesh, but it was nothing serious, so he ignored them and looked straight ahead.

Both shadows disappeared in the distance as he looked up.

He didn't follow them because he was surprised by the strength of both of them and by the fact that one of them...

'Was it a devourer?' Matt thought in surprise.

'How the hell did he get on the Academy grounds?' Matt thought and plucked the two arrows in annoyance.

'The Clans of that City protect the Academy, so there's no way such a weak devourer could sneak out from under the noses of those guys. That means there's someone in that place working with those devourers. Or maybe it's the same organization Alice says employs devourers.' Matt thought and sighed.

'The peaceful days look like they're about to come to an end.' He thought.

At those moments, several people from the academy guards appeared running from a distance. They had heard a small commotion and sensed the clash of powers, so they came forward to see what was happening.

When they saw Matt there and behind him a small hollow-shaped like body, they were surprised.

"Student Matt, what happened? Did someone try to attack you?" They asked in shock. Matt smiled at them and shot both arrows at them, his blood still dripping down his arm, which left them in shock.

'The arrows that the devourers use?!' They thought in shock at the sight.

Matt smiled and started to walk away, "There were two of them, they're pretty strong, at least 5,000 power. That's all I can say; I couldn't fight them for long." Matt said, and after that, he went back to his room.

These were only low-level guards, so they didn't have much power in the Academy. But they were only here to inform the leaders of what happened so that information was enough for them.

The following day, among the high command of the Academy, voices were spread about what had happened that night...
