Chapter 173: The Crown (2)
Chapter 173: The Crown (2)
~Jack POV~
*THUD*
Finally…
When we landed on the ground level of Shade Academy air pads station here 2B, Koro, and I finally got to see the Academy for the first time.
And immediately I see Rumpole greet us with a nice smile on her face as she spoke to us in a kindly manner, "Hello CEO of Future Foundations I'm Xanthe Rumpole the right hand of Theodore our Headmaster of Shade Academy. I will guide you all to Headmaster's Office first to properly get you situated with our fellow Crownsmen."
That's a dead giveaway.
I recall in the book that Xanthe never introduces her first name.
And wasn't Crownsmen only for that weird cult naming themselves The Crown?
But just to be certain…
<Observe>.
[Xanthe Rumpole (Brainwashed) – Lv.170 Right Hand of Shade Academy]
[Xanthe Rumpole is a Professor in Shade Academy with a stern and harsh personality, though not someone who's overly cruel. Rumpole is a relentless teacher, with the ideology of pushing her students to the breaking point so that they can be vicious enough to survive in Vacuo without needing anybody's help. This includes having other students beat on their peers until they're out of Aura and picking on students she deems to be weak.
Rumpole believes that Remnant is due for another global war, abruptly swapping her class' studies from the foundations of Shade Academy to the Great War. She is aware of Salem's existence and has taken to being extra cruel to her students after Haven Academy's fall so that they can be prepared for her inevitable arrival.
Currently, she's brought brainwashed permeant by the Leader of the Crown Jax Asturia, and can't break free unless the one who placed her is killed or knocked out.]
Ah…
The Crown I knew I forgot about something.
Wait….
Hold up a second here.
Shade Academy was taken over to this world equivalent of Amish people?
…
That's very disappointing but very funny at the same time.
Although this does hold a bad situation right now for me.
And if I'm right a quest should appear soon –
[Ding]
[The Quest is created.]
I fucking called it!

Well….
Fuck man.
Talk about anting up the stakes here Gaia.
Then again, I could use this chance to see how much I gained using Jinn to talk to as well as thanks to her allowing me to practice my skills and send a few of my clones to kill off any Grimm in The Land of Darkness or called Evernight.
Like I said before I was going to abuse the ability of Jinn's <Time Stop> while in return I reply to any answers she has about my old world to which we hit it off pretty well.
And like any hardcore gamer my <Shadow Clones> were merciless against Salem's own monsters along with the fact I created a small base just for farming them since all my clones have <Nigh-Absolute Immortality> healing me immediately taking one damage.
Yeah…
It was a pretty bad day for Salem and the info they provided me of the fact she manages to create Mutant Grimm was bad enough, so my clones took care of them for a brief moment before relenting of letting a few of them live.
Because I don't want Salem to notice that I'm dwindling her forces while in the process I level up like crazy and sacrifice some clones to use <Time Skip> a few times and wait for my AP bar to recover getting some nice levels.
All in all, I basically grinded like crazy to a higher level even though I didn't waste my stats for when I come head-to-head against the Brother Gods.
Anyways time to see how strong I got.

Whew~
Mentally whistling to myself I managed to get up to 24 levels in the span of days farming on Salem's territory taking out strong Grimm to fuel my own power. Not bad at all.
And this here is calling breaking the game folks.
Then again though [The Gamer] is meant to break the rules of the world anyway so not that much of a big deal to me.
Hmm…
Considering what is going to happen in the next few minutes going to become a war zone against me. With me using <Observe> on the students I get to see all or majority of them being brainwashed.
Guess I got to up my stats then.
Let's see….
And… there this should give me the edge for what's about to happen.
Thank goodness I thought to only bring with me Koro and 2B to go against a whole city of enemies. At least I won't have to worry much about my own friends getting killed in the line of action or captured.
Now then time to see what I get.

[You gained the skill <Enhanced STR>!]
[Ding!]
[You have reached 200 stats on AGI!]
[You gained the skill <Enhanced AGI>!]
Whoa!
I felt something new in my body as if something was unlocked in my body. I can feel it in my very muscles and bones.
Not only that I feel my senses and reflexes improved drastically in an instant… a limiter on me has been removed like it was nothing.
Like I can handle anything no wait.
Rather I feel like this when I first unlocked my own aura for the first time in this world.
Time to check out what they give me.
Skill list.

Flexing my body, a bit and smirking a bit with my newfound strength I could probably easily take on the rest of the students.
"Please follow me mister Nights."
Listening over with me, 2B, and Koro followed along and began to get the two up to speed about everything happening with me using <Telepathy> to get them to understand our situation.
The two looked surprised and gave me a slight nod at the ready in case of everything for an all-out fight.
*Ding*
Hearing the elevator opening up and reaching our destination with Theodore already up in position with a smile on his face but the necklace of the <Eye of Grimm> on him says otherwise while I use this chance to use <Observe> on him.
