Chapter 117: The Camp and Institute [1]



After taking their walk through the city, they arrived back at the location where they had previously gathered.

Alya and Amon soon met up with Elizabeth and Michael.

Charlotte and Ren were nowhere to be seen yet.

"Yo, you got a mission?" Amon greeted Michael.

Alya also started talking with Elizabeth on the side.

Despite them getting acquainted with each other for over a week, there was still awkwardness between Michael and Alya.

Both were unable to communicate without stammers and pauses.

Amon sighed internally looking at Alya sneaking some glances at Michael from the corner of her eye.

It was evident that they both wanted to talk to each other freely but that years of distance prevented them from doing so.

"Yeah, need to k-kill someone." Michael informed, hiding his forced smile and stammer. Amon nodded.

Unlike Alya, Michael was still not used to the idea of killing.

As a Prince who was meant to succeed the throne at first, he too had to kill many criminals.

But each time he either passed out or was unable to.

This became a big headache for the Imperiac.

Fortunately, they were saved by the high ranked talent of Alya which put her as the one to succeed the throne.

Of course Michael's parents still loved him, but they had to do this for the sake of the empire.

And the former wasn't against it either like Amon said before.

His whole life, he had been pushing Alya to the spotlight.

But...

Michael's mindset would change with this mission hopefully.

Amon didn't know what would happen to him in this arc.

But in the other memories of the future, there was an obvious change in his mindset after this

arc.

And seeing that he had to kill the head of a slave trading house, Amon could pretty much guess the cause of his change.

Executing criminals who you didn't see doing their things and executing them after seeing what they are doing are two different things.

And this was what would help Michael to change himself.

"I see. Goodluck." Amon patted his back.

It wasn't long before Charlotte and Ren came back as well.

Apparently, they had to destroy some drug operation so it took longer for them to scout.

It wasn't anything major though.

After everyone had assembled, Athena quickly appeared with 4 other people.

"Here, I have 4 guides from each camp. The one who calls out your name, please proceed to that person."

He couldn't get them out of his head no matter how hard he tried.

They kept haunting him with that picture.

Amon sighed.

He didn't know what to think of it right now.

He had no information or clue about the situation.

There was one hope though...

The libraries at the institute and camp.

They were the only places that could give a shred of help to him.

It wasn't long before Dylan was done.

He came back to address them for a few seconds and then asked to follow them.

The other groups also started to move along with them, following their guide.

As they got out of town and headed inside a forest, Amon saw a large wall in the distance after

5 minutes.

At that point, the guides stopped.

"Some small level creatures tend to escape somehow from the Black Tear. Then they end up in this forest and over the years it has become a base of sorts for them." Dylan explained to

them. "Even the weakest creature here is mid-3rd order and can harm the research facility or camp. This is why you see the large wall in the distance." He gestured toward it.

"If we go any further in this forest, we will get attacked by those monsters. So, for that

reason, we will now teleport." He informed them and took out a stone.

It looked to be a small sharp piece of rock but it was glowing purple.

Amon knew what it was.

They were Spatial Travel Stones.

You could usually find them in dungeons where they were loaded with the spatial energy.

You could set coordinates to those stones and then by breaking the rock, you would teleport

to that location.

The more spatial mana was infused in the rock, the more people could simultaneously

teleport.

The rock he currently held in his hand was shining so brightly that Amon knew it wasn't

obtained in the dungeon.

These types of rocks were so rare that they only belonged to the higher ups.

Because of that, Amon knew it was Athena who made them.

Throwing the rock on the ground, it broke in half with a snap.

Instantly, a magic array appeared on the ground before purple magic energy started to swirl

around the student body.

And within some seconds, they all disappeared into thin air with a snap.
