Chapter 13: Greek Descent Training Area
Chapter 13: Greek Descent Training Area
The entire academy area was dark, and that also meant there were very few people around.
This allowed Nolan to easily weave his way around the Greek Descent building without anybody noticing him.
Quickly, he arrived at the main street.
The starlights in the sky seemed to be brighter than normal, casting the world into a mixture of darkness and moonlight.
The area was clear enough for Nolan to witness students moving around in twos and threes.
Some students were even kissing each other in the dark alleyways, while in others, were also getting roughly kicked In the ass.
Nolan paid no attention to any of this as he continued on his way, pulling his hoodie over his head more.
Some students noticed him, but they couldn't see his face as he moved, either looking to the side or at the ground to avoid their gaze.
As he walked past, some found him familiar, but none of them stopped him.
In this way, Nolan was able to walk for 20 minutes straight to the Greek Descent training area without any trouble.
According to his memories, such a feat deserved a reward as it had never been done before.
The former Nolan would always get into trouble no matter how hard he tried to avoid it. It was almost like he was a trouble magnet.
Finally standing before the gigantic gate, Nolan was stopped by a staff member wearing the academy's security uniform.
"Who are you?" The figure asked him, his voice harsh and suspicious.
There were literally no students who hid their face in the academy, making Nolan a big exception, which made the guard very wary of him.
Not wanting to cause much of a ruckus, Nolan took off his hoodie, revealing his face.
The guard simply stared at him for a while.
Of course, he had heard the tales of Nolan and had seen him being bullied sometimes. Nolan wasn't only popular among the students but even among the staffs.
That was why it was absolutely shocking to him when he saw Nolan standing before him and wanting to go into the training area.
It was something that had never happened before.
To the guard's blank stare, Nolan could only smile wryly, which seemed to calm the guard, who nodded at him.
"You're free to go in, but you must be out before dawn tomorrow. The training area will not allow you to hide here just so you can avoid classes," the guard said quite harshly, but he wasn't to blame.
Nolan hadn't come to the training grounds for ages now, and suddenly today he decided to come at the dead of night.
Isn't it clear that this is some ploy of his to hide within the training area under the excuse of him being in the training room?
To the guard's reply and harsh face, Nolan only gave a simple nod before he walked past him and entered through the gate.
"How strange..."
---
Entering through the large gate, Nolan was more than surprised as he felt as if he had entered into a new realm.
Before him were various structures with different shapes and titles.
Since there were many types of descendants apart from the Greeks, there were also many buildings catering to each descent's training.
But even among the training buildings, the Greek Descent training building was the biggest, depicting its status as the number one in the realm.
Quickly, he made his way in, finding no guards outside to question him, but the insides of the training area were well-lit, even though it was close to dead silent.
The lobby area was filled with some staff who were currently dozing off, putting Nolan in quite an awkward position.
The staff were the only people who could direct him to where the Kratos training ground was, but with them asleep, what should he do?
Any normal student would have woken them up, but Nolan was far from being a normal student.
He was the certified trash of the academy, and they might simply see him as bothering them and wasting their time.
But he didn't have to think too much about it when suddenly one of the staff raised his head and immediately locked eyes with Nolan.
He was a middle-aged man, seemingly in his early thirties, with curly black hair and dark brown eyes.
Sighting Nolan, he beckoned to him, and Nolan finally approached him.
"Is there something I can help you with?" The man asked him, his face devoid of any emotion.
"I just want to know the direction to the Kratos Descent training ground," he replied.
"It's on the third floor. The elevator is just at the right corner," he replied.
"Thank you..."
With slight haste, Nolan made his way as he was directed, finding the elevator just at the side.
He took it, inputting the number three before he quickly ascended.
DIIIIIIING
The elevator opened up, and right before Nolan was a large golden gate with the image of a strange symbol, which just happened to be the same as the one on Nolan's dagger, drawn onto it, followed by two axes crossed over it to give it an additional design.
Pressing his hands onto the door, Nolan's arm bulged with veins before he was finally able to push open the door, quickly entering as the door slammed with a loud bang behind him.
Looking around the area, it was vast with various glass rooms whose ends Nolan couldn't see.
"So this is the Kratos Descent training area," Nolan declared grandly, his eyes flashing around the place.
There were various statues surrounding the area, each of them denoting a burly man in various stances and with various weapons in his hands.
The entire area stank of grandness and lust for violence and battle, and Nolan didn't know why, but he strangely didn't find it repulsive.
[Delivering an area scan in aid of Host's quest...]
[Scanning complete...]
The notification panel blinked before disappearing just as quickly.
"So which among these training areas will awaken my Pantheon will?" Nolan asked.
[I have scanned the entire room and know the best place for you to awaken your Pantheon will. It's...]
