Chapter 2147 Icarus and Christos

For Christos' words, the assistant stood there like he swallowed a bug.

"Sir, the seniors... I don't know if they would be willing to do this."

Christos looked at him and said.

"One failure and they all turned into cowards? What the fuck are they useful for? The reason a Second grade student like me took over the duties of the league was because they could shut the fuck up and focus on increasing their strength and skills.

Icarus was a guy who got kicked out of this school, because he didn't have anything these guys have. Neither the background, nor the resources.

And now they are shaking in their boots to fight him?"

"Sir, you also know what happened that night in Nalan's restaurant."

Christos gritted his teeth and sighed. He slumped into the chair and held his glabella trying to get rid of this headache.

A few days, he passed down a similar order.

To deal with Icarus that very night. And the seniors all expressed their delight up on getting the chance to crush this once powerful figure and gain some glory in process.

They even felt lucky when they found out that Icarus was going to the Nalan's restaurant to eat that night.

So, they all donned their most regal battle attires and went to find him that night.

Many people saw them on the streets as over a dozen fourth graders of the Zeus Academy brandished their weapons and went to a restaurant of all places.

They were curious and followed them, but they went to the exclusive top floor, from which everyone else was barred.

They were expecting some kind of noise, at least. But they couldn't hear a thing the whole night. They thought these people were going out to fight someone, but there was no sign of it.

After waiting for hours, people didn't find a thing and had to go back. Rumors spread for the next couple of days, however no one really cared much. So many other important things were happening and this passed away.

Only the seniors that went in, Christos who gave the order, the assistant who saw the report, Nalan who arranged the encounter and finally, Icarus the man who committed the deed. Only they knew. Only they knew the nightmarish hell Icarus put them all through.

In fact, even Christos and the assistant only knew bits and pieces.

What they knew for sure was that the next morning, Nalan sent a message.

'Come and collect your people.'

Christos who was eagerly waiting for the news of Icarus' death, had to be greeted with that message. For some reason, he felt like he wanted to go there alone. When he went in there, he saw all the dozen seniors that were known across the realms as heroes.

They were huddled together, in a corner. With their clothes tattered. With their bones broken. With their skin flayed and many more burn wounds all of their bodies.

I will try to find a way out of this."

The announcement was made and he went out. He directly went to the Hub and asked for Icarus. He thought he wouldn't be able to meet him. However, Icarus invited him in to the office and said.

"What brings you here?" Icarus asked.

"Why are you doing this?" Christos asked in return instead of answering the question.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Why are you pushing the Zeus Academy into the corner? I investigated your case, your fight was with those two stupid elders who went after the clan and conducted a genocide.

I don't know why you are so pressed on that case, but you did, you got involved. You didn't gave power, they strong armed you. Now, you got power and you screwed them over. The matter should have been over.

Why are you targeting the Dean and the rest of the Zeus Academy."

Icarus chuckled and said.

"It seems like you are still far away from becoming a true leader of the league. They might have put you up for the task too soon."

Christos frowned and said.

"I would appreciate an answer instead of you trying to insult me and my competence."

"Alright. Here is your answer.

My problem was not just the Elders. They never were, they were just the most rotten part of it. My problem was and has always been with the ways of the Zeus Academy.

And hearing the way you speak. Talking so lightly of a genocide, I am only more sure that this fight is necessary."

Christos gritted his teeth and said.

"Every damn day, a genocide happens at some corner of the world. Why don't I see you fighting everywhere? It is just personal vengeance. Don't glorify yourself."

Icarus chuckled again.

"I never denied that it wasn't personal. And my personal grudge with the ways of the Zeus Academy. Sheltering the Elders like that and even after they were found out, they were used as a bargaining chip in some backhanded deal with Theron.

They should have been punished according to the laws of this place, because they committed the crime in the name of this place.

And why were they let off scot-free? Because the Dean wanted his niece safe, the elders wanted the benefits given by the Dean and the judges want the favor given by the dean.

The students many of whom are part of clans like the one that got destroyed. But they don't have a care for it. Because of your conditioning in this academy.

And you are right, genocides happen all the time. But more often than not, they happen for personal grudges, wars, revenge, punishment or a show of strength. But your Elders did it to gain the favor of an entity that was despised by gods they preach so much about.

And they dared to shun me to silence and damn me to suffering because they are too scared to reveal their own rottenselves and this academy aided them in.

I will keep on pressuring the academy. Let it crack and let it break. I want to see it rebuilt and teach the things that its actually meant to teach."
