Chapter 403 - Going To The Academy

Below the large ship, the rest of the students that were to visit the Academy together were all standing at the entrance of the ship.

The atmosphere was oddly tense and that seem to be expected as they were going to foreign territory this time.thw dangers involved might not be what they are capable of but then, the since it was a genius student exchange, the academy wouldn't dare to really give them a hard time since the institute would surely do the same.

Amongst the four people standing below the large ship, Freta was also there, standing quietly in line with the others. But what made David's face hardened was the second person he recognised.

A malicious smile formed on David's face and his eyes gradually turned sinister as he whispered. "Vathar."

Steadily, David walked towards the group of students and nodded his head at them but when his gaze suddenly collided with the neat otherworldly blonde male standing separately from the crowds as though bit wanting to get the worldly filfth on his skin, his eye revealed an intense spark and his heart flared with a deep kind of anger that couldn't be clearly explained.

Vather gaze at David with indifference as though he was merely staring at a mere ant. Two weeks ago, his interest had been slightly stirred by the boy before him when he realised he could somehow hide from his eyes and even counter it. But two weeks had long since passed, his interest had dwindled.

Although David coudkbr be said to be talented with his strength, but there are countless talented people back in Skyhigh continent, a slightly talented barbarian wasn't at all worth his time.

Seeing the indifference in the latter's face, David's smile widened and his eyes turned deeper making the other students unknowingly shiver in fear as they wondered what was wrong with the atmosphere.

Calming his nerves then, he gazed away, as he turned to face the lady that had help him once, his genuine smile returned soon after.

Although she seem to have changed after a few couple of months, Freta could still remember David and she let out a dazzling smile.

"David, you are also here." Now that she had seen some she recognised and although from a lower year, it gave her some sense of comfort as to regarding her situation.

"Yes. I was lucky to win the competition and now. I'm here." David then furrowed his brow as he continued.

"But I didn't expect to see you here at all since you prefer being couped up at the Archive, reading rather than doing anything else not to mention going to another academy." The confusion evident in his tone.

Freta's expression darkened slightly and a bitter smile formed on her lips. "Lets just say I lost my job. Anyways its all in the past now. Come come, tell me why you didn't come back to break your other heart locks?" Freta said with a raised eyebrow and a teasing smile.

David rolled his eyes at her. He could remember when she had attacked him so suddenly back at the Archive thinking she wanted to kill him. Recollecting the scene back then, the two of them laughed as they talked, leaving the fourth year student and the second year students feeling a bit disturbed as the atmosphere was supposed to be solemn not as lively as this two were making it out to be.

Slightly a few moments later, six individuals gradually began to become clearer as they walked through the air as though they was some type of invincible force underneath their feet, holding them up as they moved towards the massive ship.

David and Freta's chattering unconsciously came to a stop as the six people walked and then landed right before them five students.

The six individuals looked slightly old and some of the appeared to be in their thirties, and barely a few looked older than that.

"We Greet the Senior professors." The five students monotonously greeted in respect. The senior professors nodded their heads and smiled at them.

From the group of six people, the students recognise three of these individuals as their instructor while the remaining three people remian unknown.

But from the fact that they seem to possess the strength to walk side by side with the Senior Professors, it means they are pretty important people, so they greeted them also.

One of the Senior Professors then came out and spoke to the group of students. "You are going to an unknown territory, for the sake of proving your institution to the people there and also risking you time for the sake of the institute, you will be generous awarded for that. But then, you will get to learn new things over there which will be the most rewarding gift you will receive, so be careful not to tarnish the image of your institute and make us proud." The older man said with a smile and his bald head reflected the sunlight, making it shine brilliantly.

David's face twitched but he dared not release what was at the top of his tongue. He solemnly nodded his head alomh with the rest of the students.

It was at that moment David felt a stinging sensation pricking around his skin, giving him goosebumps. Immediately, David turned his gaze and looked sideways, he saw that amongst the three senior professors present, the female senior professor was glaring at him with a strange type of gaze.

She appears to be smiling and staring at the five of them but David could feel as though her entire focus was glaring at him.

Confused, David scratched his head and wondered if he might have been overthinkng things too much or might have gotten paranoid but then, he could have sworn he had goosebumps a second ago.

But then, he gazed at the senior professor's eyes and it seem to focus on him and also not on him, making him totally confused as to what was happening.

David shrugged it off as it seem he might have been imagining it.

After his speech, the older man moved backward and the one of the three teachers from the academy walked forwards to have his own say.

"Have assured your Professors about your well being that nothing will happen to you as long as you stick to the rules. And as long as nothing happens to our students too. Now, I'm here to assure you guys my self, as long as you follow the rules and stick to the regulations given to you, nothing bad will happen to you." The middle aged teacher smiled.

After which, he clapped his hands three times, making the hatch to the huge ship open with a loud puff of smoke, and in a few moments five figures emerged from within the ship.

They seem to be students as they appeared young and around David's age or a few years older. There were two ladies amongst them and three males as they walked out from the sky cruiser.

"Professor Stan, these are our best students of our institute, please do well to treat them well." The middle aged teacher stated with a stern expression on his face making the others aware that he wasn't joking in anyway.

The Senior Professor Stan nodded his head seriously and replied. "Rest assured, they will be care for, just as long as they don't break the protocols of the institute. They will be good and of course as long as nothing happens to our students over at your side, there will be no problem at all." The old man said with seriousness in his face but almost everyone knew what was going on.

The middle aged Master's face twitched as he seem to have sensed the sarcasm in the older man's tone. But there was nothing he could do about it. He huffed and said.

"Get in, we are leaving." He waved his sleeves and then turned around to leave as he entered the ship. The other masters smiled and reacted, turning around to follow him as they said their good byes.

David and the rest of the students also turned to follow them. They didn't know what the future holds for them as they didn't kniw the detail of the Academy they were going to.

David turned back to the institute, he could still hear the chattering of the students. He hadn't done the things he wanted to do yet. He hadn't even sold the serums he had created. And he wasn't sure if he could do so in the Academy he was going to as they clearly have different set of rules there. His dream of becoming rich and then solving most of his problems were now put to an halt.

David sigbmhned and then turned back as his gaze hardened. No matter how tough the academy may prove to be, he will still rise to the top and become who ever he wanted to be.
