Chapter 52 - 52: Grand Elder

After the elder had left the room Knave didn't get up from his chair rather, he sat there and started to think through the conversation that he had with the Elder just now.

Even though he had deduced that Vanessa had quite important to the elders in the academy as her Mentor had quite a high position, to help him enter the Academy even without him being from a prestigious Clan but the way the Elder had just described the relationship with Vanessa got him worried.

The elder had not cleared the doubts of his mind completely, as if he was afraid of something. " It seems that Vanessa's situation is quite Complicated in the Academy. Vanessa has been in the academy for only seven to eight years this amount of time is considered quite insignificant in the eyes of those old freaks who have lived for two to three hundred in the Academy.

So, they won't be that interested in Vanessa without any extraordinary reason. Considering all this the first and the foremost could be that she is the disciple of the only Elder with quite a higher authority other than the principal himself, The Grand Elder." this was the knowledge that he had acquired while he was reading in the library about the academy's history.

The Grand Elder is someone with the authority to even challenge the rules set by the principal himself, they are someone who is even more powerful than the principal and they only take part in the academic matters when it's really necessary otherwise they cannot be seen in the Academy by anybody.

"Which could mean that the grand elder had taken in as a disciple or maybe it is the principal of the academy. If it's not for that reason, then it could be that she has quite a high-grade talent.

Assuming that is the reason than it's either she is a Heavenly chosen and has a single root or she has a mutated Spirit root.

As for the last probability, I think it is a combination of the prior two situations she is not only the disciple of the Grand elder but also has a spirit root which is quite unique.

If this all is true, then her getting all this attention in the academy is quite reasonable, but now this puts me in quite a bind.

I have been trying to keep a low profile in the academy because of my situation, if somebody finds out about my speed in cultivation and it gets out there, then it will cause me quite a bit of trouble as my spiritual cultivation is done with the help of my spirit root it won't cause me too much trouble as the elder has already given me the pills.

I can directly put the blame on him for my fast cultivation, but I cannot let anybody find out about my body's cultivation. Otherwise it will cause quite a stir in the Academy and adding on Vanessa's situation my life will be in danger." Settling the thoughts in his mind into order Knave got up from his chair and went towards the direction of the bookshelves.

Looking to the bookshelves, he found quite a bit of books that he had not ever seen in the Academy's library.

So what the Elder had said was true, that he had books that the academic did not contain but after reading some of the books which he had not seen in the Academy he found out that most of these books were more like journals of the past alchemists.

They didn't contain the techniques that they had used during the Alchemy process but they did contain their personal experience while doing the process.

Such as when the spirit flame was supposed to be extra hot and where less, where the mistakes could be made during some pill makings, which steps should be taken during the learning process of various herbs and other such methods.

This had cleared his mind of some past doubts and opened many doors for his future Alchemy process. While he was reading these books, he had almost forgotten about his cultivation time, but he had set the alarm in his clock for 11 a.m.

So, that he could go have his lunch and then start his cultivation as his regular habit, when the time was up the alarm clock on the table started to ring.

After shutting the clock he put the books back in their places and after keeping the clock in his space pouch he went out of the room.
