"It's finally time huh?" I asked as I sat up from my desk and looked at the beautiful night sky.
It was time for me to go to the academy and meet the rest of the top class as we were given the rules and regulations of what we could do as sponsors and what was about to happen at the academy. I know about eighty percent of the sponsors that should be at the meeting but the rest are completely unknown, even with my network I still couldn't get anything about them and that scared me.
There was also the damn scheme that my fucking nephew of mine Hakari was planning. I had no idea what he was planning or what would happen, all I remember was Rizen contacting me yesterday saying that whatever happens today I should go with it and be myself, and not draw any suspicions.
I don't know why but ever since I got that message I've felt a terrible sense of foreboding within me, I couldn't even cultivate. I don't know if this feeling was from the meeting or Hakari's scheme but all my instincts were telling me was that something was going to happen and that I would be absolutely powerless to stop it. Usually foreboding doesn't really bother me that much as I'm usually not the target but I'll be a bystander to what the feeling eventually becomes, what bothered me was that the foreboding feeling wasn't warning of something bad, it gave me a feeling that I couldn't describe...and that scares me.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, how the fuck did I let Hakari get me to go to this shit. I should've got Bashar to do it.
Shaking these worthless thoughts from my mind I teleported to the academy and took a teleportation formation to the center, after a flash of light dissipated I saw myself in front of a large building, it seemed like a mansion on the outside, but on the inside was a lot larger than what seems. I walked toward it before I sense a presence that made me turn around and I saw a man in a dark assassin robe, he had no killing intent which was the reason why I didn't attack immediately but I could tell that even if I fought him head-on I would have to put in some effort.
He bowed as he said, "Duke Treysin, I am here to escort you to the meeting place, you are the third person to arrive and the rest will be there shortly."
I nodded my head as I followed his lead, we took several turns before we stopped in front of a large door, the assassin stepped to the side and I walked past him and opened the door and I was greeted in front of a large conference room. The table was futuristic showing maps and reports of the academy, a list of the Seven Blessed from Heaven, and there was even surveillance of the territories of the factions.
I need to tell Hakari this, although he might be hoping that there is surveillance of the headquarters it's better safe than sorry.
I pulled out my holocube and send a slick message to Hakari letting him know about surveillance before I shut it off completely. This is a top-secret meeting, so no one from the academy is supposed to know that we're here so all holocubes were supposed to be turned off to avoid tracking. After I took a good look at the room and saw that there were two people already there but shock was plastered all over my face as I looked at the one who had a smile on his face.
What the fuck is he doing here?!!!!!!!!!!
"Why are you here father?" I asked as I looked at my father Kirean, who was sitting on the far right end of the table, one of the seats closest to the head seat where the empress sat.
I stood there shocked for a brief moment, enchanted by her beauty as she smiled at me. I cursed under my breath for my grandfather being such a simp.
"The fuck you mean 'what am I doing here?' this issue concerns my grandson for fucks sake, you think that I'm going to let you make suggestions by yourself? We both know that if you're here by yourself you would test Hakari again by suggesting rules that would make his life mission impossible." Kirean berated as I turned my head to the side in an attempt to hold my laughter, knowing he was right about his assumption.
Well, that's my plan down the drain. But maybe I should help my nephew for once he has passed every test I have thrown at him and he is going to complete, the mission on Zantar today so maybe I should help him. After all, if it goes the way I think it is going to go then he is going to need all the help he can get.
I smiled to myself as I thought about the day I gave him the task of the hit on Zantar. There was one thing I omitted from him and it was a very important one, since Hakari was passing everything with fucking flying colors I wanted to test his intellect for real. Zamir knows that any of us could get rid of Zantar if we wanted to and knows he couldn't do anything about it at that time so he gave Zantar an artifact where in the event of him getting crippled or killed, it would send a recording of the events to Zamir. This would let Zamir know that Hakari was the one who killed him and I was even more sure of it since I told him that he had to be the one to kill him.
Sorry nephew, but you know how petty you are, it runs in the family. Don't worry though I got you next time.
"That's true," I said as I looked at the empress who was giving us a mischievous smile.
"Mizuki, how's Hakari been?" I asked, Kirean, Bashar, Everen and myself were allowed to call her by her name, mainly because of Kirean and Luna's friendship with her.
She gave a bright smile, which shocked me and Kirean as she said, "He's been perfect. He passed the little test I gave him so he will be a disciple under my sister Irani, whose the principal of the academy."
"Huh?!"
