Chapter 33

Leylin and Nyssa quickly made their way to the restaurant, even though many were disgusted with the presence of Nyssa, No one complained seeing Leylin with her.

After Marlins Death, the top acolyte Potioneer is none other than him added with his ability to make it out alive without any injuries from the Secret plane of bloodbath, people decided not to irritate a genius whose help they might need in near future.

Leylin slowly made his way to a empty table and order some of the most extravagant of dishes in the restaurant.

Leylin politely invited Nyssa to sit before him, after the dishes were served, he simply eat while making small talk with her.

Leylin knew that Nyssa had been able to exchange her contribution points for a potion to increase spiritual force and was preparing to breakthrough to level 3 acolyte.

Leylin interlocked his fingers and straight to Nyssa disgusting and disfigured face, showing no change in his emotions.

” Nyssa, Why do you think I called you out here? ”

Hearing this question Nyssa slightly trembled, She herself was not sure of the reason, why a usually cold and indifferent Genius like Leylin call her out.

” I… I don’t know ” Nyssa pushed her insecurities aside and answered truthfully.

Leylin sighed and pick up his wine glass, twisting and turning the wine in it, seemingly lost in his thought.

” I called you out because I have an offer for you ”

Nyssa perked up her ears and raised her gaurd. She was afraid of what he may say next but also interested in what he has to say.

Leylin didn’t react at all from her reaction just looking at his glass.

” I will give you a chance to achieve your goal of regaining your body and a Chance at even revenge against those who tortured, bully and insulted you ” Leylin dropped the F-bomb stunning Nyssa ” In return though, you will offer me your allegiance and Soul for as long as you live to me “.

Leylin looked straight into Nyssa eyes . Nyssa felt as though he can gaze straight into her soul and peek at her mind, reading her like a book.

Leylin stood up and started to walk away, Nyssa was about to stop him, when Leylin voice sounded in her ears.

” You don’t need to decide now. Take your time, you have one month to choose. If you choose to follow me burn the paper in your hand. ”

Nyssa with a snap turn her gaze to her right hand , to see a White Paper with One pair of Black wings on it, She was stunned that Leylin put something in her hand and ahe didn’t even notice.

She looked up to see that Leylin was no longer there. She was very confused with Leylin offer, What could he get from her, With his talent and looks, beautiful women will line up to warm his bed offering all they have!, Why would he choose her then? and what does he meant by offering her soul.

…

Leaving Nyssa to her thoughts, Leylin slowly walked into the corridors of Abyssal Bone Forest academy.

Within such a great academy, one would rarely see another soul.

The classrooms were vacant, the Trading Area was left uninhabited and even the academy’s mission area — which has a large, wide wall; on which the missions were hung up — only had a few acolytes accepting missions.

The entire Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had sunk into a stillness as silent and steady as a grave.

In these circumstances, if an ordinary person were to stay here, he would be frightened to death!

However; the great thing was that the acolytes who survived the bloodbath, as well as other professors, were extremely resolute; so they were able to maintain the operations of the academy, even under such circumstances.

However, these state of affairs would not last very long.

This time, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy would certainly lower their requirements. Then a large number of acolytes would be able to join and thus reinstate the glory on the surface.

But the nurturing of any talented acolyte will consume a vast amount of time and energy, and not to mention the aptitude of 5th-grade acolytes — where and how would it be easy to find one with such a talent?

The Abyssal Bone Forest Academy’s heritage had declined drastically during Leylin’s generation. It was likely that at least 10 years would be required to regain their former level of glory.

However, Leylin wasn’t greatly concerned about these issues.

Leylin himself didn’t knew why he gave that offer to Nyssa, All he knows that he appreciated her grit and determination. Nyssa is someone who achieved great success in her life but Her path stopped at just peak Rank 2 Magus.

Here in southern Coast , it is a fair enough power level to but in the great spectrum, it’s not even worth mentioning. Leylin think that she can reach greater heights in life.

‘ What she will choose, will depend on her Destiny. Although I am someone who fight against Destiny, sometimes it’s better to let nature take it’s course’

Leylin has laid down the offer and a better path, He knows that forcing this upon her, will not be a favor but cruelty.

Some people think that If you offer great things everyone will jump at the offer and kiss your feet. They don’t keep in mind that all doesn’t crave the same way, everyone has their own path to walk on and Forcing someone on a supposed greater path is just an illusion of morons.

Leylin gave her a chance, now what she will choose Is her Choice to make.

These thoughts passed through Leylin’s mind. Very soon, he concentrated on the book in front of him.

The book in his hands was extremely thick, the same thickness of two bricks together. However, the paper’s surface was extremely small. This was the style of ancient books.

“Mother Earth laid down on the ground and gave birth to 7 children. They are Anger, Sorrow, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, and Fear. Each of her children inherited one of their mother’s power. Mountains will tear themselves apart in front of them, and the seas will part before them….”

The book in Leylin’s hands concerned myths.

Leylin’s eyes flashed as he commanded, “A.I. Chip! Record!”

Ever since Leylin registered under the administrative area and became a potential Magus, he managed to obtain more access within Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

One of this was to peruse the hidden library section!

Of course, within these books, many information regarding official Magus were erased. At the very most, they were briefly mentioned in passing, with cryptic writings. Normally, people would just gloss over this information.

Even so, Leylin with the A.I. Chip obtained much more information from this hidden library section.

First of all, the A.I. Chip had recorded almost all information that was beneath the topics of Magi. Right now, Leylin could vouch for himself that most professors in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy could not match his knowledge concerning acolytes.

This was a great foundation buildup for Leylin.

Leylin closed the book slowly and left the library.

Leylin had used the A.I. Chip to record most of the information in the hidden library section. In the future, no matter where he was, he could always perform a search with the A.I. Chip. It was equivalent to carrying a large-scale, intelligent library with him at all times.

“Professor!”

Leylin went to Kroft’s lab and bowed to Kroft, who was carrying out an experiment.

Although Kroft was the same as before, Leylin found that his eyes were somewhat dimmed. It seems that Merlin’s death had slightly impacted this old man of more than 100 years of age.

“Leylin, my child!” After seeing Leylin, Kroft smiled and he looked to be more focused.

“Regarding my suggestion from before, have you decided on an answer?” Kroft asked.

“Yes, Professor!” Leylin bowed once more. “I appreciate that the Leslie family thinks highly of me, but I wish to try breaking through on my own!”

After hearing Leylin’s reply, Kroft’s expression darkened. However, Leylin’s talent in Potioneering was admirable, even to Kroft. After knowing that Merlin died, Leylin had become his best apprentice, so he could not help but advise again.

“The Leslie family is a great one, with Potioneering as their niche. In there, your talents will definitely be displayed to the fullest. Moreover, the Leslie family has sincerity, where the contract conditions are much better than the academy’s.”

Leylin displayed a very keen look, but deep down he had rejected Kroft’s proposition without the slightest hesitation.

Leylin respects Kroft, because in this world of cruelty and Ruthlessness, he has taken care of all his apprentice. Kroft has never taken excessive advantage of acolytes and is a pretty ambient person.

Previously, when they spoke, Kroft represented the Leslie family in supporting him and made an offer to Leylin.

Leslie family was one of the large-scale Magus family in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, with many Magi supporting it.

Kroft was one of its members.

Having a long standing tradition and history with Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, the Leslie family also possessed a copy of a rank 1 spell and Grine Water.

What Kroft suggested was the same contract signed with the academy. The Leslie family would also give a rank 1 spell model and a Grine Water in exchange.

Leylin refused this obviously, Why would he who has a Advance Meditation Technique even think about this stupid stuff ?He had to show respect though in his refusal, so he asked for some time to think.

“All these, I know, Professor! But…”

Leylin raised his head, his eyes showing an unshakeable resolve and determination.

“I still wish to try on my own! If I were to fail, I promise you, Professor, that I will definitely prioritise and consider the Leslie family!”

“You…”

Various expressions flashed across Kroft’s face. Looking at the most outstanding acolyte he had right now, he suddenly felt a little helpless. “Alright then! You are only 17 now! Youth is precious, it allows you to make mistakes!”

Kroft looked at Leylin and was reminded of his younger self. His eyes revealed that he was recalling a memory.

“Thank you, professor!” Even though Kroft was unreasonable, He never wanted harm to befall his apprentices. This trait was rather praiseworthy within Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

“I have something to ask of professor… ” Leylin slowly said.
