Chapter 226: Do Not Forget Our Mission



\'I knew that many would be coming, but I didn\'t expect that it would be this many,\' Professor Barret thought as he guided the Pirate Ship to land safely. \'The situation might be more serious than we imagined.\'

Once the ship was firmly anchored on the ground, the students who had escorted them landed at the deck of the flying ship and bowed respectfully to Professor Barret.

"Professor Barret, we will now bring you to the Main Hall to meet the Headmaster," the Head Student politely said. "After that, we shall guide you to your temporary residences. Since this is your first day in the academy, please don\'t hesitate to ask us to give you a tour of our facilities.

"We are the group specially assigned to answer your questions, as well as act as tour guides during your stay in Nightfall Academy."

Professor Barret nodded. "Thank you. Kindly guide us to the Main Hall."

The student nodded and once again summoned his broomstick to hover above the ship.

All the students, with the exception of Ethan, and Henry, also took out their broomsticks and flew in the air.

The handsome young man shamelessly sat on Luna\'s broomstick, the sight of which made the corner of Rowan\'s lips twitch.

They then followed the students of Nightfall Academy to their Grand Plaza, which was similar to the Plaza of Beginnings.

From there, they headed North and landed near the first gate that appeared in their vision.

"This is where the Main Hall is located, Professor," the student said. "Please, enter."

The gate slowly swung open, revealing a luxurious hall.

Professor Barret took the lead, and his students followed behind him.

As they walked down the red carpeted floors, they noticed that many eyes were looking in their direction.

Some of these gazes held curiosity, some contempt, and others amusement.

Ethan, who felt countless gazes lock onto his body, simply walked confidently with a smile on his face.

He was already used to being the center of attention, so being stared at by the students of Nightfall Academy didn\'t faze him.

"Ah, my good friend, Professor Barret. You\'ve finally arrived."

A chubby man, who was nearly two meters tall, walked towards Professor Barret with a big smile on his face.

"Nero, it\'s been a while," Professor Barret gave the chubby man a curt nod.

The Headmaster of Nightfall Academy, Nero Maddox, opened his arms wide to hug the former Magistratus and acted like they were very close friends.

Professor Barret wanted to roll his eyes, but he managed to stop himself in time and decided to just give the chubby man a few pats on the back as a gesture of goodwill.

"I hope that you were not offended that I only sent students to greet you," Nero said as he took a step back. "We are simply too busy hosting the other more important guests, as well as making sure that the Royals from the other Shire Kingdoms have everything they need."

"You\'re lucky that it was me who came here instead of Rinehart," Professor Barret replied with a smile. "If he had been the one here, he would not hesitate to unleash his Resonance and make a scene. I\'m sure that you wouldn\'t be giving us preferential treatment after that."

"Touche." Nero smiled. "Fortunately, the letter that was sent here told me that you would be the one coming instead of that Old Coot. Because of that, I was able to spare a bit of manpower for your arrival."

"Oh? So you\'re saying that my temper is better than Rinehart\'s?"

"Of course it is. If not then why are we talking like this in the first place?"

Nero chuckled and his entire body shook, making Ethan wonder what would happen if the Headmaster of Nightfall Academy actually laughed out loud.

"These petty games you play will bite you back later, Nero," Professor Barret shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? Did I touch a nerve?" Nero smirked. "Fine. Let\'s not talk about this anymore. As compensation, I\'ve already prepared the second-best rooms for you and your students. I hope that your stay in my academy will be a worthwhile experience..."

Nero then shifted his gaze to Ethan for a few seconds before waving his hand to call out the student who was responsible for guiding the delegation of Brynhildr Academy.

"Guide our guests to their temporary residences," Nero ordered. "Make sure to make their stay as comfortable as possible."

"Yes, Headmaster," the Head Student replied with a smile. "Please, follow me, Professor Barret."

Without another word, the student led the group from Brynhildr Academy to their temporary residences.

When he was certain that Professor Barret was out of earshot, Nero raised his head to look at the people who were on the Second Floor of the Main Hall.

A smirk appeared on the Headmaster\'s face before walking away to return to his office. He knew that not all of the academies had a good relationship with each other.

At the end of the day, the majority of them treated each other as rivals and even nemesis.

Truth be told, he was also very excited to see what things would happen before the Legacy Gate opened.

Having so many interesting people around him would definitely give him the best sort of entertainment that he was looking for.

"There are a few interesting people in the delegation of Brynhildr Academy," a beautiful Elf said with a smile.

"Interesting?" a Dwarf standing not far from her scoffed. "None of them are interesting in my eyes."

"Well, I guess that is the problem when you are short. You can\'t see people from afar," a Fox Lady chuckled, causing the Dwarf to glare in her direction.

This was a gathering of the elite students of every academy, so sparks could fly with just a few words.

Of course, they were holding themselves back because they didn\'t want to suddenly start a brawl on enemy turf. Even so, the clear look of disdain on their faces was enough to tell each other that they didn\'t see each other as a threat.

This was true, except for four individuals, who looked at Ethan with great respect when he arrived at the Main Hall.

\'So, that\'s the Young Master,\' a young Dwarven Lady said telepathically to her companions. \'I like how he carries himself. The one we serve should have at least that much confidence.\'

\'As expected of the Young Master,\' a beautiful Elf commented. \'He inherited Lady Catherine\'s charms and his father\'s good looks. I\'m glad I was chosen to come here instead of my sister.\'

\'The two of you don\'t get too excited,\' a handsome young man stated. \'Don\'t forget that we must not look overly friendly with the Young Master to prevent suspicions.\'

\'That\'s right,\' another young man, who looked exactly like his twin brother, said. \'Do not forget our mission. There are many eyes here, and utmost discretion is a must.\'

\'You twins are so uptight.\' The beautiful Elf shook her head. \'This is why the two of you are still single.\'

\'Although I acknowledge both of your strengths, you do not have the qualifications to order me around,\' the young Dwarven Lady stated. \'Still, you do have a point. I will make sure to act accordingly when I meet the Young Master.\'

The four people then glanced at their surroundings and made sure to keep their eyes and ears open to those who were talking about the handsome young man, whom they were oathbound to serve and protect.
