Chapter 164 Scared? Don't be
Chapter 164 Scared? Don't be
The night came inside the Eastern Academy and inside its dormitory were the students of Aster Academy. Although it was already night and most of the students were asleep.
Amongst the rooms, a specific one can be seen as ordinary like the rest. It was quiet and dark though the person inside was awake and speaking with someone.
{Report to me what happened}
"Just like I said senior the pirates failed to get Apollo, they couldn't even catch him. He was way too fast that even a jet plane wouldn't be able to keep up with him"
{Tsk, what about the pirates aren't they strong?}
"Apollo is also strong and like I said he was fast, once he started moving not a single attack could land"
{How about the threat? What did the other students do once the pirates started threatening them? Didn't they protest to hand Apollo over?}
"Ah, about that"
{Go on what happened?}
"They laugh"
{They what?}
"The other class just laughed when the pirates began threatening, I think none of the students took the pirates seriously, they even made fun of them"
{How is that even possible!?}
"It's because they are more afraid of Apollo than a bunch of pirates that they suddenly saw, they have seen how ferocious can that person be. The academy security was also a reason, the students knew the enemies would be suppressed the moment they stepped in"
{Damn pirates I thought they would have sent their strongest. What about the Seven Wings did they appear?}
"I don't really know senior, the professor hasn't disclosed any information to us"
{I see it makes sense since this incident could affect the reputation of the academy, they are very careful in handling the information. Well then report to me anything, especially his location}
"I will do my best senior"
{If there is nothing more to report, goodbye}
The communication orb shut down and the person who is speaking there disappeared.
"Sigh...that was really scary"
"What's scary?"
"!?"
"Who is there!"
"Ah, did that scare you? Don't be I was just passing by when I heard you speaking with someone, now then shall we talk about the person you were speaking to?"

Thirty minutes before this encounter
"Right Edmund Tower!"
I blurted out in the middle of the night.
"I only know his connections and the people under him but never this old man's!"
That's what I was missing I was focusing too much on him I forgot to dig deeper into the people who are surrounding him.
"And he has his princess fiancee too!"
All with power and connection to do these things.
"I really thought I was prepared but it turns out I am still lacking"
I suddenly felt excited then a notification suddenly appeared.
[A communication signal has been detected on multiple sections of the dormitory and staff offices]
Right, I forgot, I ordered Jeremiah to notify me of any signal that will appear inside the dormitories and staff building.
"So which one is the most suspicious?"
[It is too far for me to analyze them, though I can tell that most of them are speaking to their families at home]
"The thing is, we don't know the contents of their conversation"
So I stood up from my bed and immediately prepared to leave.
I might just be paranoid but if there is a possibility of someone being a spy then it would really call its boss to make a report.
"I should be able to know their conversation if I get close right?"
[Yes Creator, with the system's upgrades it can scan the person they are speaking to and their location, it's just there are so many people that is contacting someone that we need to get even closer]
Right for those who are wondering why we need to get closer is because we end up getting sent to a mountain away from the actual compound of the academy. All that I can see is a tiny tip from the academy's watch tower.
Is this our punishment or something?
Well not that it matters, I should get to business. So I wore a simple light brown knitted sweater and black jogging pants.
"This should do it"
"Bulan" I whispered and the insignia activated.
A wolf head marking glowed on my neck and suddenly I felt a surge of energy.
"BLING!"
The insignia which serves as the connection between me and my spirit wolf Bulan spread out from my neck before extending to my arm.
"Summon!"
I ordered and from my neck the insignia extended on my hand then it transformed into a magic circle which is the gate towards the world of spirits.
"Jeremiah masked our presence"
[Will do Creator]
From the magic circle a beast emerges, it has a robust build and powerful muscles suited for both agility and strength.
Its fur is extraordinary, shimmering with magical energies. It was deep blue and purple to silvery whites which signified his high potent affinity to wind and lightning elements. Other than its beautiful colors, his fur is also adorned with intricate patterns that seem to swirl or glow. His eyes are also glowing with emerald light while his breath has a trace of mana.
I smiled as I gazed at him, from the previous small wolf, Bulan became bigger and more majestic than before.

"Feeding that beast core was also worth it, he was able to copy their abilities"
[ All thanks to you]
Looking more at his stats you can see a plus sign on it, those were the symbols indicating an addition to his stats. And of course, to increase them I have to use my stat points. Typically spirit beasts can grow stronger by going to a multitude of battles and living longer. The older the spirit the stronger they get.
In my spirits' case, they are barely a decade years old, much too young to be powerful. So I shared my system with them through the mechanism called party bonus. Using that I was able to share some of the benefits of the system and increase their stats using my stat points.
[I wonder if they will be affected as well if you use demonized, will they turn into demonic beasts as well?]
"I am not sure though it is interesting to see it"
"Master"
A deep and heavy voice spoke while those emerald eyes gazed at me as if telling me to order anything and he shall comply.
"Let's go for a ride shall we?"
"Yes my master"
I smiled at his words and immediately hopped on his back.
"Let's go towards that place"
"Yes master"
And so I went towards the school grounds in the middle of the night.
"This place is clear, no suspicious conversation detected, how about there Bulan can you move there?"
"Yes Master"
"Thank you"
The staff building is clear and also the conversation of security guards. How about the dormitories? Let's find out what conversation the people have inside them.
As Bulan glided through the air, I began seeing notifications on how each conversation was being led. There are some with their families while I found some with their own spouses.
"Aren't they too young for that?"
[Perhaps you are just old fashion]
"I am not"
As we continued suddenly a conversation stood among the rest. Seeing the person who it belongs to a smile crept into my face.
"Got you"
And so I went towards his room blending well into the surrounding darkness. Bulan was already recalled and rested inside the insignia, ready to come out if needed.
"What's scary?" I said and a horrified expression painted the boy's face. He became hysterical as he uttered the words "Who is there!"
With those words, I spoke again trying to increase his tense nerves.
"Ah, did that scare you? Don't be, I was just passing by when I heard you speaking with someone, now then shall we talk about the person you were speaking to?"
