Amon, The Legendary Overlord

Chapter 161 161: Farewell

Right now, only Amon and Ariel were acting calm. Although Ariel was proud of her performance, she chuckled a few times, but she didn't show any nervousness.

Maisa and Julia were different. Being received by so many people amid applause and praise, a smile that was even a little silly and shy constantly appeared on the faces of the twin sisters.

For Barbara, it wasn't really strange to be in the middle of the applause after being received like that at the tournament. However, applause now was much bigger. She who tried to act cool ended up laughing awkwardly a few times; there was a touch of happiness and embarrassment in her laughter.

Although Amon wasn't able to hear the muffled conversations that took place right in front of them, the eyes of people who looked at their group gave him all the information he needed.

Soon, the vice principal, who could no longer wait for the university students to be silent, spoke.

"Silence!"

His voice was loud and powerful. It caused most of them to shut up instantly and the few who kept talking ended up shutting up soon after.

With the gentle smile of an elder, the vice principal looked at Amon and the girls and said in a gentle tone, "Welcome back! Your victories brought glory to our university!"

"Are we going to be rewarded for this?" Ariel had a mischievous, sly smile as she asked this question.

Although he was surprised by her question, the vice principal wasn't upset or anything like that. He still laughed afterward and said, "Yes, of course, you will. Each person has a different trajectory and different thoughts. Because of this, our university has always chosen awards in credits that can be exchanged for anything the student is interested in rather than giving away something we think is best. Of course, if you are in doubt about what might be best for you, your teachers will always be around to help at that moment and give advice."

When they heard that, not only was Amon's group surprised, even the new students were. But, they agreed with the vice principal's point of view. Not all prizes won in a tournament would be useful to them. Prizes in credits were much more valuable to them, as they could buy what was best for them later.

"The prize in credits will be no less than 100,000 in credits for each of you five!"

When the vice principal said that, a wave of envious sighs broke out. 100,000 credits was a lot, even for senior students. Just to give a vague idea, Amon didn't even have 500 credits. Of course, he didn't do a lot of things to try to get them, but through dueling and dueling bets, he had managed to get a considerable amount that would make it possible to buy some useful things for himself.

"We're rich!~" Ariel exclaimed. She pursed her lips teasingly, crossing her arms in front of her chest, making her two melons stick out even more.

Barbara, Maisa, and Julia embrace one another. This amount of credits was more than they had ever expected to receive. It also underscored the importance the university placed on them winning the tournament between the four universities.

But, it wasn't simply that. The reason for this amount was also because they had managed to become Innate at such a young age. That in itself was a reason to be proud.

'Amon. A young 18-year-old boy who achieved great things as he barely started university. Not only that, he now looks like a different person if he repairs himself properly. The first time I saw him, his indifference was somewhat unnatural, but now, he demonstrates a calm that wasn't there before... Peculiar, this is getting interesting.' Despite thinking all of this, the vice principal just smiled gently, not letting it show.

It took some time for Amon to finally make it back to the dorm. After taking a hot shower, he returned to his room only in his robe and lay down on the bed. He thought about what the vice principal had told them and realized that it made sense for them to act that way.

The vice principal said they had to learn to control their newfound powers. For this, they could choose between three options: One of them was to stay in a special room at the university where they would have the best resources to learn to control the force and it would take a maximum of 4 days. Another would be to go to the tower and fight monsters on another planet, but that would take at least 5-7 days before it would have any results. Also, they could choose the last option, which he said was not the best. It would be for them to go back to their homes and spend ten peaceful days there, without having to use much strength, and as the days went by, it would be enough for them to get used to the improvement of their bodies.

Amon chose to go to the Tower after resting. Meanwhile, the twins chose to go home. Both girls were homesick for their parents and weren't about to pass up the chance to see them. Ariel also chose to return. Only Barbara chose the same option as Amon, which was to go to the Tower.

Lying in bed, this was one of the rare moments that Amon just wanted to lie there and do nothing. He simply closed his eyes and slept.

The next morning, Amon met with the girls in front of the university's east wing gate. Their objective was to go to the Tower. Although only Barbara and he would stay in the tower, the other three would use the tower to get back home, as it was faster that way.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the tower via floating transport. With their cards, they entered the tower with ease.

"Amon, be careful." Maisa hugged him and then placed a kiss on his lips.

Then it was Julia's turn. She basically did the same as Maisa, but said, "I know that if you die on the alien planets using the Tower, you don't really die, but I still hope that doesn't happen."

"I will be careful," Amon said to both of them.

"Want me to give you a passionate kiss too?" Ariel raised an eyebrow teasingly in amusement.

"Alright," Ammon agreed.

"..." Ariel lost her smile, but then she laughed, "Yes, yes, dream come true~" She left right after.

What she didn't know was that her face had turned slightly red. Amon agreed immediately, and that had taken her entirely by surprise.

The twins then laughed and followed Ariel, leaving only Amon and Barbara behind.
