The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Chapter 55: Chapter 54 - Touching Zero



Chapter 55: Chapter 54 - Touching Zero

We were now in the back room where even Lurok, Zero, and even Zephyr had come to see them as it seemed that there weren't really done with me.

However, they ignored one thing. I was also not done with them at all. After all, I still hadn't managed physical contact with Zero, which meant that I still ignored his race. That's why I had welcomed them with my arms wide open when I saw them walk in.

"Are you guys here to congratulate me on my purchase?" I asked with a big smile as I looked at each of them.

Lurok seemed to be the most pissed off out of the three people in front of me, which was weird, considering that I hadn't done anything to him.

Zero, I had no idea since he had this mask over his face, and Zephyr, well, he wasn't really important at the moment, so I didn't care what he thought or looked like.

"Who are you really?" Lurok said with a look of confusion. "I knew you were special the first time I laid eyes on you, but for you to have 125 Million coins to throw like this to buy a slave is absolutely crazy. There aren't many people I know who could do that. So, I repeat my question, who are you?"

"I told it before. I'm just a professor at the Royal Academy. That's all there is to it."

"And how did you make your money then?"

Before I could answer that question, Zero once more raised his hand as if saying that it did not matter.

"It doesn't matter. He won fair and square. However, I won't forget this."

Alexa, the girl from the stage, was watching this unfold before her as she held onto Ariella. She wasn't sure why all the VIPs had come to see the buyer, but one thing was sure…they were pissed.

She knew that we were all very powerful, which was why she was so stressed out. She was trying to think of a way to stop this conversation from escalating, but it was very difficult for her at the moment, considering who was involved.

Nevertheless, she grabbed her courage with both hands and coughed lightly, catching the attention of everyone involved.

"Um, um, I'm sorry to disturb…uh, whatever this is, but the slave contract has to be made for the transaction to be complete."

"Slave contract?" I said with a frown as I looked over in her direction.

I had never had anything like it in my life. In fact, I had no idea those things even existed in the first place.

"Yes, slave contracts are made to make sure that the slave can never betray her or his master. It's also made to make sure that they listen to their master every word."

I nodded slowly before shaking my head. "I don't want to use that on her, so forget it."

This time, everyone in the room was even more shocked, even Ariella, who just couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"You don't want to use a slave contract on her?" Alexa asked once more to make sure she had heard correctly.

After all, this was a situation that was unheard of. Everyone who bought slaves used slave contracts. It simply made sense, especially considering the price he had just paid for her.

"Yes, now get rid of this disgusting piece of paper and hand her over to me. I won't be staying in this place for much longer anyway."

"Should I also get rid of my slave contracts on Nymira and Lirael?" Zero suddenly asked as he still hadn't done so.

"Yes, I don't need such things for people to listen to me," I replied arrogantly under the gazes of everyone in this room.

"Is that so?" Zero said with a slight smirk as he waved his hand toward both elves dressed as sexy maids.

A bright emblem suddenly appeared on both their chests before disappearing instantly as if it had never existed.

Their slave contract had been terminated just like that.

Both of them couldn't believe what had just happened as they suddenly got on their knees toward me, thanking me as if I were some kind of God.

"T-Thank you so much, master!" The two of them said at the same time.

"My first order is that you don't call me master anymore. Call me Caedrel. Also, stand up; don't get on your knees for me again."

The two of them nodded fervently as they got up on their legs. They were incredibly grateful for what had just happened. They had thought they would spend their entire lives listening to Zero and all of his orders, but I came through and liberated them.

'It's now time to touch Zero,' I thought in the back of my mind, as there wouldn't be any other occasion after he left the auction house. After all, he had no idea who was hiding behind this mask.

I turned around with a bright smile on my face as I walked toward Zephyr, Lurok, and Zero.

"Well, Lurok. I got to say thank you for bringing me here, it was truly a nice discovery," I said that as I extended my right hand in his direction, waiting for him to shake it.

And sure enough, he did.

Now, he just had to repeat this process with Zero.

"And Zero, we might have gotten off the wrong foot at the beginning, but I thank you, too."

I handed out my hand once more, but Zero didn't grab it. He simply looked down at it, not doing anything to it.

"I don't think we're so close as to me shaking your hand, sorry."

I just laughed a little as I raised my hand and tried patting his right shoulder slightly.

However, just as my hand was about to touch him, he moved out of the way.

"Don't touch me. I won't repeat myself."

I frowned deeply for the very first time since I met him. 'Does he know? But how…this technique should be undetectable. The only reason why he would want to keep his distance is that there is a chance that he knows who I am…but that shouldn't be an option either.'

I didn't know what to think any longer as I looked right at Zero's mask.
