... With the Old Man again

Kim Yong POV

"Good to see you, Grandson-in-"

"Stop it, old man, why are you here?"

I inquired an answer, with a visible frown on my face. Jaden continued his smile.

"I missed you too, troublemaker"

My frown deepened… and Alan couldn't help laughing at my miserable face, his expression is so annoying to look at.

'He wouldn't come here without any reason'

I formulated multiple possibilities in my head, all of them made somewhat sense, moreover, I need to resist punching Alan for laughing.

'It should be to get her in my class too... How did he do that?'

Another possibility, which is probably the one, popped up in my head like a notice message.

^Sigh^

"Why are you sighing so much? At your age..."

'This old man is starting again with his tales about his past'

He continues rambling about his past, creating ice figures and landscapes, showing us his impressive past and history of the Silva family.

Hela listened to his past with utmost pride, smiling from one ear to another.

Ardad simply stood there, waiting for him to finish and choose his group... or to even introduce himself, like the old man is doing currently.

'He probably doesn't mind it... as expected from an extra like me'

I have only pity for Ardad, he never had a chance to choose students, fidgeting with his fingers while watching from the sideline... at the end, he didn't even stand on the podium, he was next to the door waiting to go.

'He really is a weak-willed individual, to use him is easy'

Have I planned to do this?

No, he isn't useful enough to me. He is actually a person I would like to get killed.

'I can't do this... his strength is SS- rank, and I can't kill someone at B rank without fighting with my life on the line'

The last time I fought the A- rank demon and won, this was only possible because of the overload of chaorkness energy.

Fighting with my life on the line, means, I show every trick in my possible... which also would reveal my weaknesses.

Alan is so immersed in the past of this old man, I guess it is interesting to see a character you never wrote many words about.

Benjamin and Ben sit now in my row next to Alan... and Alan moved one seat to the left to make space for Hela.

I was never interested in her, but this body pushes its emotion on me like a flood.

This intense emotion of love and regret, is forcing me to say something to her.

The girls all sit in the row in front of us, chatting with each other, including Hela in all discussions.

'When will this torture end?'

I hated it, my emotions are in chaos, I need to keep a soul under control that could kill me in less than a second, and I need to achieve that the demons and monster fear my name.

"Alan, you know Leopold and Beatrice are together, right?"

Hela asked with a clear intent... and this is to get Alan to push the question onto me.

Why would I think that?

She is more of a cunning fox than any of these so-called geniuses are, she is smarter than most of the people I know... what causes me to act more carefully in the future.

The obvious reason she did that was to find out more about the relationships in the group.

"Students"

Erzulie, her voice, entered our heads like a bomb explosion, resulting in immediate silence. She puts her hands on the podium, her eyes inspecting the entire room.

"The class is over, please leave the room and go to the respective instructor training room who has you in two hours"

With these words vanished Erzulie out of the room, leaving the most students stunned and perplexed what she meant.

'Finally'

I stand up, preparing to leave the room, as I feel the cold air surrounding me. Eyes of a cold and calculative person, who wants to control every variable, met my eyes.

"Kim Yong, I hope you appear"

The old man's tone was sweet, yet the threatening aura couldn't be easily called a reminder.

"I will be there, don't worry"

I used the technique out of the dungeon of death, arriving at the door. My hand feels the cold of the door, my skin feels to tear a bit.

Me opening the door, without much reaction, makes him smile. Leaving the room without much fuss or barking in the room.

Moving at a steady pace, I made my way to the cafeteria. My stomach growls on the way multiple times.

'I can easily break through to C rank level 5 now'

I am suppressing my rank progression, I want to acquire mana manipulation on the same level as dragons... although this didn't work, my mana level is better than Rica and Nadine by a bit.

Another problem is that I am progressing too fast, along with my stats being unbalanced... What is by the way the reason I can progress so fast.

Students whispered a lot about me, my ears are enhanced, and I can easily hear everything they say.

The most things they say, is calling me a monster or some kind of abomination. The existence of me, is changing the course of history.

Without me realising, I stand in front of the cafeteria, glancing at the eating people.

'Something is wrong'

Normally, the atmosphere is more cheerful and relaxing. The atmosphere now is depressed and tense.

"Are you Kim Yong?"

'Oh, a third year student who wants me to satisfy his superior complex'

He has brown eyes, black hair, about 2 metres tall, wearing a body tight armour in a white hue. The entire armour has light, leave the small gaps, the shoulder plates and knee protectors are thicker along with small goat horns on them.

"Yes, I am"

A grin plastered his face, taking a few steps towards me. Placing his hand close to my face, as he casts a sword of fire. Butterfly swords came into existence, levitating next to him.

"Come under me, you have no chance against all these people without a supporter"

I really can't understand people like him, they feel so strong together with being annoying, when there is a reason why they aren't called a generation of geniuses.

'The only one who was a genius is the person with the infinity affinity'

The last person I want to recruit, he should be alive somewhere in the demon realms.

I feel all of these nervous stares at my back, it feels so weird to be relied on by people who call me a monster. I fix my eyes on the sword of fire, reaching out to grab it.

"Thanks for your trust in my abilities-"

I grab the sword of fire and his lackeys, who aren't even worth looking at, release their bloodlust.

"Think again before you answer my question"

I resisted the urge to let Hydra eat them... These two are offended and want to rip these arrogant children to shreds. The sword of fire slowly flowed on my skin, cutting his mana supply of and giving me control over the fire sword. His eyes open wide.

"I think you should think again... before you speak to me"

^Boom^ ^Boom^

Two breakthroughs in a row, catapulting me to the level 3 of the D rank. I took a step towards him, pointing the fire sword at his throat.

^Boom^ ^Boom^ ^Boom^

The fear in his eyes began to transform to horror, he is mortified, unable to think properly.

^Boom^ ^Boom^

Level 8 of the D rank, a rank he didn't reach after almost three years on the best school possible.

"Tell me, how does it feel to be humiliated in front of everything you built over these years... he isn't here"

He broke to the ground without any response, not minding him a bit, I grabbed my food and eat it in silence.

After training my manipulation of mana and chaorkness a bit more, I left to the training room the old man is in. Already feeling the intense training sessions ahead of me.

'This is actually better'

"Hey Kim Yong"

Hela shouted while waving her hand, the entire group is waiting with her there.

"Kim Yong, why are you so slow?"

My surroundings changed, from the sunny day to the white walls and ceiling, the ice spreading through the room. Ice swords, ice lances, ice scythes, ice whips, and ice morning stars hovering in the air.

'This old man really likes to beat me up'

"Why are you doing this, Old man?"

He glares at me with no emotion in his eyes, his calculative and unpredictable eyes try to find flaws in my mana barrier.

"You should focus not to die against this old man"

His deep voice, vibrates through the room along with the mist leaving his mouth.

'He really wants to test me'

Unbeknownst to him, I created a small rathole with my Chaorkness energy. As long as Mi Sang Hee senses it, they can enter.

"Hey, old man, you can create a legion of ice soldiers, so please do it"

The ice erupts out of the ground, soldiers full clad in armour emerged, taking the weapons out of the air. All dash towards me with the intent to kill.

'HA ha now I understand, we all are simultaneously going through such a test'

A huge Snake, out of ice, appeared behind me without a sound. A howl from a wolf comes from my right, feeling a cold breath together with my instincts telling me I need to dodge.

"All for our liege and the princess"

Knight in a full clad ice armour, his vertical blue pupil pierce through the slits of the helmet. The legs are that of a kangaroo.

'This is the perfect training environment'

A smile plastered my face, the excitement to train until exhaustion feels so exhilarating.
