258 Chapter 258

After finishing the test, Alex came back to the admission department to find Riya already finishing her test.

Riya had used her concealment technique and showed peak Master rank strength which didn’t surprise many as many had guessed her to be strong as she was somewhat considered as his guardian and caretaker.

Alex was concerned about the judge who might be hacked by Riya. Luckily Riya didn’t go overboard.

Alex and Riya were finally admitted peacefully and all the ongoing procedures were over and now Alex just has to start the class.

He wasn’t forced to enter the very next day and he along with Riya was shown their dorms and were asked to get a rough understanding of the academy.

Alice along with his wives visited Alex for one last time before departing and he was quite pleased to see them.

Alex presently stood before his forces who had accompanied him on his trip to Zenith.

All of their eyes reddened on hearing about Alex’s stay in Zenith.

Though Alex acted like a rogue, it also added a bit of fun to their boring life. When he was serious, his gaze was as cold as polar ice which could freeze everyone and his ruthless and strict training had made them what they were today.

“Don’t slack off in my absence. If I don’t see any progress when I visit during my holiday, I will personally take the matters into my own hands.” Alex threatened.

Alex was quite satisfied with their progress. Harry was also going to return to Bright and with all the disputes being over, Leonheart could forge a strong relationship with Bright and their mutual help could make them rise higher and prosper together.

As for Albert, Alex was really in a pinch thinking about him.

Albert was also a student of Zenith academy. In Zenith Academy, three years from 18-20 would be a learning period while the remaining year would be voluntary service in the military where they could put their knowledge and skills into use.

The Magician and Martial Artist warriors would be in charge of the front line while scholars would be in charge of administration works or else the scholar can also submit a thesis or work under a professor as an assistant to graduate.

But Albert didn’t want to be posted in some backwater areas with nothing to do so he left the academy looking for strong warriors to fight and improve himself.

Now, Albert was forced to stay in Leonhart and take up a commanding job and he had many more idiots to accompany him in training.

Alex gave his men some guidance and provided them with some scrolls and techniques brought in the market.

Max, Antwan, and Ben sobbed until their eyes became red.

“Uncle Mordek, please take care of my wives. I have passed some techniques and tricks to Catherine. You will get it when you reach Leonhart. Don’t stop recruiting and training soldiers. They are our pillars.” Alex spoke.

“Your Majesty, I will properly take care of Leonhart in your absence,” Mordek spoke earnestly.

Alex nodded and after spending some sweet time, asked goodbye to his wives.

Alex had brought a huge number of goods from Capital which would be of great use to his people.

He had managed to form a network and connection here.

His Kingdom wasn’t isolated like before and he could finally get in touch with others.

Alex rubbed his nose as his people who were considered his family left and as he returned his gaze and became sharp.

He was sure that his academy life wasn’t going to be smooth.

He researched about the Academy as one of the most common novel scripts was the academy getting attacked by enemies and Alex wondered whether this was going to happen in his presence.

And surprisingly, it was not a new thing as four or five years ago it was attacked.

Catherine was studying during that period and spoke about the crisis and thankfully it was resolved quickly with just a handful of casualties.

There have been more cases like this throughout history and it wasn’t that the Academy security was bad rather there have been many moles and bad apples in it.

“Let’s see what it has in store for me.” Alex grinned and walked into the Academy with heavy steps.

….

Classes for the second year were about to start.

Alex and Riya walked beside each other following Professor Neon who was taking them to the class.

Alex felt his heart beating fast.

‘I can’t believe I am having such feelings when going towards my class. It makes me feel alive.’

It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t excited about his class.

Till now, he didn’t have a single friend..No matter whether one age was above or below him, everyone had to show him respect.

Even Harry had taken him as a benefactor and addressed him as King. It felt good but sometimes unknown loneliness crept up from inside him due to this.

‘Maybe I can make some dependable friends.’Alex muttered, turning his head towards Riya and his mood immediately became worse.

There was no special treatment here and Riya couldn’t cover her face with a veil.

Wondering about all those venomous gazes staring at her makes his heart bleed.

BAM!

The door of the classroom opened and all the mumbling ceased.

The sudden sound snapped everyone to the start of the class but as they saw their homeroom professor, they were startled to see two figures beside him.

From the corner of their surprised eyes, they observed the figure who entered the classes.

The boy had a usual and casual air around him and his outfit was quite radical. He followed the teacher with a nonchalant stride towards the centre.

Beside him was a devilish mesmerising beauty which drew the utmost attention of everybody in the class.

Some even swallowed their saliva unable to breathe in seeing her ever glowing angelic face carrying a hint of natural seduction.

Riya just tiptoed in a shy manner, feeling everyone’s gaze.

Professor Neon too stood on the podium and folded his hands behind his back and spoke.

There were around 50 students arranged in the auditorium classroom.

The classroom was quite large and spacious and his voice seemed to be amplified naturally by the structure of the walls.

“Starting today, we have two new students joining your academic venture.”Neon spoke and stared at Alex.

” Please welcome these two with a warm round of applause.’

“Go introduce yourself.”

Alex nodded and walked forward under everyone’s curious gaze making him feel like a lab rat.

“Hello, everyone!Nice to meet you all.”

“I am Alex Von Leonheart and I would like to be in your care from now on,” Alex said.

His voice was loud and filled with confidence carrying a hint of dominance.

Alex stepped back and Riya with a meek expression took small steps forward.

There are only a handful of people who have seen her face but now getting such exposure naturally made her a bit uncomfortable.

“Hello, I am Riya Von Leonheart. Nice to meet you all.”

“I will be in your care from now on.”

As soon as Riya’s words fell, the entire atmosphere descended into silence and all gazes fell on Alex and they glared as if they wanted to poke a hole in him.

Alex ignored those gazes and nodded in satisfaction while giving her thumbs up.

‘Nice, this will keep the annoying flies away.’
