Chapter 2372: Silence

Sam and the rest of their company reached the space gate.

While the remaining went in, Sam stood there looking at Olaf. At that moment, he didn't see the majestic dean of an academy. All he saw is a tired man, who is burdened by the responsibilities that he is about to face.

He knew the easiest route.

Just kill Sam and be done with it. Everything will be over. But there are restrictions placed on him, not to kill other players.

Even if there are no such restrictions, he still felt a bit ashamed thinking about it. Killing a weak Divine Plane Initiation cultivator with his own hands...

All for what? Because he couldn't handle the trouble created by a cultivator of such weak cultivation? Someone who is centuries younger than him made him feel that way. He felt more than ashamed.

He felt so small and tiny, almost unworthy of the position he held.

But that one kid is creating so much trouble for him. He knew that the whole Norse region will be on fire because of this incident.

The worst part is, every part that is involved in this is aware that they are being manipulated.

Every party involved now also believed that Sam is more connected to the Hub and their suspicions are being proven right.

However, the matters that he revealed are so much more sensitive, they are related to something much more valuable than the growth and riches the Hub can provide them. It is their ego.

A Dean of the academy respected by thousands of realms is now a cuckold.

A grand elder who can destroy a hundred realms with just his command was scammed by someone.

Many more incidents like this. This hurt ego... that is not easy to swallow. They can even put their benefits on the backseat for this.

If not for the messenger council's rules and Olaf's stringent actions, the Thor academy would have been dyed in red.

Sam could see all these thoughts creating a chaotic minefield in Olaf's head. He could see all that chaos just from the gaze.

"I almost feel bad for you. Almost.

You are so frustrated about the consequences of your god putting me here and tying up your hands, not letting you protect your home from the chaos I am causing. However, you never ever complained about all the chaos that you raised and covered up for the same God.

I am a hypocrite myself, don't get me wrong. But I am very well in touch with my own hypocrisy.

You are asking me, why I am doing this and want to put a leak in the pressure that I am creating. But have you ever stopped ask the same question to your god?

Ask him to deal with me. Ask him to make me get out of this place. Since he put this burden on you, tell him to remove it.

Even for that leak, ask him for the advice there.

I am just as frustrated as you are if not more.

I am not this academy realm because of my own free will. I am here because I am forced to be here. And all the chaos that I am creating is just the consequences of me being forced. It is my retaliation.

If you are so frustrated by me, it is because you are being forced by the god that you love so much.

Now, start retaliating against his force and maybe you can find a way out."

With those words, Sam left the Norse region. He went back to the Gambler academy.

The moment he did, Dove was waiting for him there.

"There was supposed to be an Olympian region ceremony like it happened with the freshman tournament. But because of the tensions, they were cancelled.

Just wanted to inform you."

"Thank you."

"Anyway, I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"That cube. Those flashes. Did you make it?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"How stupid do you think I am?"

"No, I don't want to the process of making it. But I do believe it helps a lot. What I want to know is how the technology that was in hands of Ling Tian just a while back, appear in your hands.

And the information that could have only been at the hub...

Are you really related to the Hub? Are all the suspicions on your completely true?"

Sam just shrugged and left. He couldn't keep on answering these questions. He has way too many things to do.

He stepped way.

He has lost a lot of time in the inter-academy tournament. His work with Zeus academy has been mostly done.

Most of the fourth graders are dead, the elders that are related to Icarus' case are destroyed and lost their jobs as well.

A lot of elders and instructors of the Olympian academies are dead because of the misunderstandings Sam caused. It is a pretty clean cut and they are bleeding really good. Sooner or later they will collapse with the debt they owe to the Hub.

They are put on the back seat for now.

He needs to focus on other academies now. The managers had enough of the break for now. He is also causing a lot of disturbance in other academies. He is just considering if he should go with the Thor academy that is already completely warmed up or some other academy that The made some foundation with.

Before he does that, he needs to do some meetings.

The next morning, he finished the little ceremony that gave him the rewards. These rewards are from the Olympian region, for getting the good results in the competition.

After that.... nothing happened.

Sam expected some kind of massive response from all the academies that he pissed off.

With the killings he made in the team combat, he killed the prospects of many academies. Almost sixty to seventy academies across all the academy regions.

And he took a shit ton of resources by strong arming the prospects across various regions. The worst part about all of this to the other academies is that, even the people that he killed owe him a bunch of money.

He put that wicked clause in the contract, about how most of their property that was in their name while alive, will be his after their death in the pocket dimension.

He expected the people of these families to come at him and to the gambler academy. Even though the outsiders are still not allowed into the academy realm, he expected the academies affiliated to come forward for this.

But none of this happened.

He was left alone. He even thought that he will go ahead of the schedule and demand the debts be paid according to the contract to poke the bear a bit.

He held that urge in.

So, he did something else. He arranged a meeting with his friends in the secret room of the

hub.

"So, what have you guys been doing while I was gone? How is your cultivation going?" Sam

asked with a wide smile.

"Okay, I guess." Philip just shrugged.

The rest also gave casual answers.

"Sam, I always wanted to tell you this. You are never good at small talk."

Jack said when it was his turn. Sam nodded and said.

"Alright then. I called you guys here to ask you of something."

"What is it?"

"I need you all to breakthrough and enter the second grade as soon as possible."

They all nodded. Because this is what they have been thinking and doing quite for a while. Ever since Sam broke through. Sam also knew about this and continued.

"As you know, I got the mission from the gods when I broke through to the second grade. The

other players will also get it and only when they all do, can I move past this mission and get

more missions.

I am keen on pushing them to breakthrough early.

I want you guys to be on par with them.

There is also another thing. The mess that I caused in the pocket dimension and this

tournament will blow up.

As we speak, I am sure that there are a bunch of people trying to push to the messenger council about lifting the ban on violence.

Once that happens, everyone will try to make a move on me. With the last stunt, I made them

believe that I am the way to the hub.

There is no way they are not going to gun for it.

After such long suppression, everyone will be in itching to land a punch or two. We are going

to strike at that moment.

I want you guys to be prepared at that moment with second grade strength so that I can have

you deal with the second graders."

Sam gave a few more instructions and just let them be.

He went back to the academy, where an invitation from Dean was waiting for him.
