Chapter 77: EPILOGUE



****

[1 Month Later]

A month had passed.

During that time, various changes had taken place.

After getting discharged from the hospital that day, he had taken the sleeping Lily back home.

It was late morning so by the time he arrived, Katherine had already left.

Lily woke up an hour later and though she had fully recovered physically, there was still a large mental toll on her.

She might have seen the deaths of slaves like the other ones in the past, but such a large massacre and scene was something new for her.

She kept shuddering with fear and held close to him, occasionally breaking up in tears. Late night, when Katherine arrived, for some reason she didn't even ask who she was but as soon as she saw her shuddering with fear and crying, she started to calm her down.

As for his disappearance, it seems that she was already filled in by an excuse from Arthur.

She even fed her food and put her to sleep, all the while not asking Amon a single thing. When the latter engaged her about it, she simply said that she trusted him.

"I trust you. It's not like you would bring a little stranger into our house for no reason would you?" She chuckled.

"So? You want to adopt her?" She asked with a smile.

Amon was taken by surprise at that time.

He couldn't believe how easily she trusted him and figured it all out.

He had expected it to be much more difficult. Nevertheless, he nodded.

After some talk with his sister about where he found her and what her name was, they completed their decision to adopt her.

Though Katherine suggested that Lily could stay in her room and sleep with her, the latter was very clingy to Amon.

It was surprising because she had never seen his real face.

Regardless, Amon safely put her to sleep on his bed before going to slumber as well.

Even though many events happened on the sideline, the classes proceeded very smoothly and normally.

There was only one surprise for the students which was the return of Arthur Milize, a man who wasn't seen for 2 years.

An assembly was held in the auditorium where he gave a speech and lecture to all the students.

But even though he was the strongest, the students never felt that in his presence.

It was because of the way how he spoke.

As a person who declined the position in the Imperial Court because of how much formal work it was, he had a habit to walk and talk casually.

Since a month had passed, it was time for it now.

For the second [Void Training] and also the first main arc of the novel.

Personal training sessions were finally introduced into their classes.

Athena informed them that over this last month and the training that they had done, the teachers had taken several notes about students.

Tomorrow, the teachers inform them about their final decision, as to which students to take

in for their training.

Each teacher could take in as many as 3 students.

And Amon already knew the students that Daniel was going to pick.

They were Elizabeth, Michael, and Aina, a random who used the same type of magic as him.

He needed to ensure this arc proceeded normally before he could reveal his powers.

It was only after this arc that Michael would start making his first interactions with the four ladies at the front.

For his [Void Training], the notification to attempt had already appeared 5 days ago.

According to Zephyra, he had one week to enter the [Void Training] on his own otherwise after

that it would forcibly drag him in whenever he would sleep.

And there were only 2 days left.

However, Amon doubted that he could do any of these 2 things.

Moving back to the present, he made a big yawn, putting his hand over his mouth before

falling to the table in front of him again.

His eyes slowly closed, trying to drift him to sleep.

However, he suddenly woke up again with a jolt, looking next to him at Michael and Ren.

They both were looking at him as well, with worried gazes.

He had deep and dark circles underneath his eyes.

It was true. He couldn't sleep properly for the whole month.

And that was because he was having nightmares.

Nightmares of his trauma.
