Chapter 2070 Request
"So, what does that have to do with me?" Sam asked.
It is not his fault that the gods are too dumb to estimate his progress. He has been breaking their expectations since the start. They should have expected it by now.
"Well, if everything went well according to the original plans, then the players, including you will have relatively even ground. You wouldn't have access to the privileges given to the freshmen of the Academy realm.
That was the plan all along. Having the players with not privileges of the Academy realm compete with the freshmen who gained the privileges of the Academy realm.
But as usual, you screwed up everything.
Not just you, Noah as well. Even she came a bit earlier that they thought. Now, the other gods are complaining that you get to enjoy the privileges and the other's don't."
"What privileges are you talking about? I know my research is not wrong. The pocket dimensions as a whole are not really that great. Not to the point going this far.
Also, the players are bound to come and the pocket dimensions are going to be open for the rest of the year until a couple of months before the start of the next academic year.
So, we are going to benefit either way."
"Both of your points are valid. But there is one twist. The pocket dimensions prepared for this year are a bit special.
As you might have already witnessed the difference between the students of the Academy and the players is very different. It is the difference between night and day.
You might want to say, your friends are not players, but you must understand except for the trio that tagged along with you, who practically grew like the players would, the rest of them are talents that are exceptional in their own right.
They are actually good enough to be player candidates.
Most gods are shocked that you managed to go this far and find these people on your own to form a team with them.
Indra even said that they should be excluded from your forces."
Sam just shrugged. He indeed wanted to say that his friends are really whopping the asses of these greenhouse academy students. Except for being talented, they don't have much going on for them.
They are not as experienced in battles. Sam's troops, even the lowest ranked ones have more experience that these people. If they are not the same cultivation level in an all our war, Sam's people will burn the Academy realm to ground albeit suffering some casualties.
Ling Tian continued...
"Anyway, I digress. To even out the playing field a bit, the pocket dimensions are loaded with some exceptional rewards for the students here.
According to the estimated timeline, you and the rest of the players are supposed to come when these people are still in the middle of clearing these pocket dimensions.
Then you will start competing with them.
Your official Player missions are also going to start from there onwards. However, now Noah and you are already here and you will have way too much advantage over others.
Of course, there are some gods, who say that you completely earned this because you made your way yourselves without any help, but the majority won and they decided to keep the pocket dimensions closed until then."
"Of course. Let's go. I know a good restaurant here. The food is amazing."
"Did Makar come with you?"
Arkiv asked hopefully. He is one of the few people who frequented Sam's city and ate a lot of Markan's food. It is indeed very hard to beat.
"Don't worry. This food will meet your standards."
Sam said as he looked them up and down. They looked pretty ragged.
"You guys didn't have a good time did you?"
"Of course not."
They just joked around and went to Nalan's restaurant. Nalan always had new recipes ready for Sam to taste and since he came with friends, he was more than willing to put his skills to test.
"So, did you guys join your Academies?"
Sam asked both Arkiv and Kumar.
Arkiv nodded and replied.
"I did, but my situation is not exactly good there, as you know Hou Yi and I don't get along, despite him being my sponsor. He must have given explicit instructions to make my life a bit harder. The Grade 2 students are already looking to get a piece of me."
"Not completely out of my expectations."
"I haven't joined the Academy yet. I actually came to directly meet you. Even meeting Arkiv was a coincidence." Kumar said and his voice was a bit solemn.
"What happened? You need something from me?"
Sam noticed that Kumar is a bit serious and it must have been an important thing. At least that is what he thought.
"I came here to make a request on behalf of Karthikeya. He is too embarrassed to ask this of you. So, I am asking this as a personal favor."
"What is it?"
"He wants you to undo whatever you did to the Planet that you were in for your final test."
As soon as he said that, Sam's expression changed. The Smile was no longer there.
Noah is a bit surprised. Even she doesn't know what Kumar was talking about, Arkiv was also same. However Sam clearly knew what he meant.
It was the planet where he went to finish his final test.
The war against the nature.
Sam almost forgot about it. At least, he didn't keep actively thinking about it.
