Chapter 9 - 9. Going Back To The Main Castle

I pulled out chains of darkness from everywhere as it was night, and everything was in the dark. I made them circle around me for protection if by any chance Astra wanted to pull a fast one on me. His light ball was too small to be a threat to my chains, and if he made the light ball stronger, wanting to disperse my chains, I would count that as an attack.

He didn't let me wonder for long weather he was here in peace or in war. Astra made the ball hover over to the table and said, " Why so on the edge princess ? " He said with a teasing tone.

' Of course, I was on the edge. Before I regressed, we wanted nothing more but to see each other dead bodies. And what's with him calling me princess? It gives me the creeps '

" I said it's Silent Night." I looked at him, annoyed. When I saw him taking a book and walking to the table where his light ball was hovering, I retracted my chains and continued reading my book.

Surprisingly, Astra didn't do anything and just kept reading books like me. After my third book, I started getting sleepy, so when I finished the book at hand, I decided to go.

I looked at Astra, who was reading his book one more time before turning into a shadow and disappearing without a sound.

After I got back to my apartment, I ate dinner and thought about what I should do next.

' Firstly I want to finish the books in the library there is a lot of them but some were the same ones that I found in other libraries that means I got about one-third of the books done and it won't take long to finish the rest. '

' I should finish the books before the 1st evaluation ( the written exam ). Until the 2nd evaluation, I will go train in the chaos world. and until the 3rd evaluation, I will search for the ruins that were lost in time. That's where I got the artifact that turned the time back. I need to check on it, as well as take other treasures from there. '

' I wouldn't go there just for the artifacts as I predict that it won't be there anymore as I once used it, so like the ruin suggests, it is now forever lost in time. '

' I want to go there since there is a neutral technique. A neutral technique means it can be learned by any bloodline. These are quite rare, not to mention this one is also strong. '

' But I won't know how much time I have left if I am in the chaos world, and I can't risk missing the exam. Well, I guess I'm going to make a trip back home to get an artifact or something. '

' Astra will get attacked when he decides to go hunt, and that happened before the fourth exam though he gets saved by other hunters. I will just have to make sure he doesn't get saved by anyone. '

After I regressed my plan a few more times, I fell asleep.

' Following my plan, I have been reading for the past few weeks. Sometimes, I would be reading in Astras company, and as the time flew by, I became less of a wary of him. Yesterday I finished my last book so I guess we won't be seeing each other anymore. Not that I miss him. '

' Right now, I was sitting in the classroom for the first time with my other classmates since I was taking the first exam. '

' The exam was about the first war that happened on Aurora continent. It was the war we led agents in the world of chaos when they first infiltrated us. '

' There were a lot of casualties on both sides as the chaos beast wasn't the only problem. There were some high-ranking chaos beasts that controlled the normal chaos beasts like that rhinoceros I fought back then. '

' The high-ranking chaos beasts wouldn't be so dangerous if they could only command weaker chaos beast. They were intelligent, and they could also plan strategies and traps, but they weren't like humans. They weren't restricted by what's right or wrong they didn't have a sense of guilt. That's why it was easy for them to use their own kind as a decoy, sending them to death. Because of that, a lot of great people fell. One of them being my father. '

' When that happened, my dad showed how scary it is to mess with the Bake family. We were one of the biggest contributors in the war together with the Empire of Light. '

' We didn't get back what was lost, but we did push them enough, and now the world is finally at peace. That's how we earned the title of the Great. So now it's the Great Empire of Light and the Great Empire of Darkness. Other empires don't have great in they're name. '

' With all the knowledge I had, it didn't take me long to finish, and I was the first one to hand over my paper '

' After I was done, I headed to the north, crossing the dark forest because I needed to get back to the main castle. '

' This time, it only took me 6 hours and 30 minutes to get there, unlike back then when it took me around 7 hours. I guess I'm improving. '

' By the time I got there, it was early evening. I went through the front gate as I was greeted by Damian he was my dad's trusted knight before he started overseeing Blake's royal shadow guards. They are the strongest and biggest group of assassins in Blake's family possession. '

He made a bow and respectfully greeted me, unlike William. " I see you are back, young master. "

" I am. Where's my brother ? " I asked.

" He's in Finn's office. " I nodded in response and turned into a shadow heading to Finn's office.

' Finn is the head of the information office. Everything we find gets through him. That's why he is also respected like Daniel. They were both once my dad's rights and left hand.'

When I finally reached Finn's office, i was greeted by a sight of bookshelves filled with reports in a book like format. It really looked like a library.

On my right side was a big office table full of papers, and I could see Emily putting even more papers at the table. When she saw me, she smiled gently, and with an exited voice, she bowed and said, " Welcome back, young master ! "

' Emily looked like an innocent bunny with her white hair and pink eyes. Even if she works as Finn's assistant, she's actually his bodyguard as Finn isn't very strong, but he climbed up the rankings with his brain. '

' Emily is one of the best assassins of the Blake family, well more like an assassin she's a mass killer everything there is an organization that needs to be wiped out she is send. '

' She earned the nickname crazy beast for a good reason. Firstly, her assassinations weren't quite at all. Secondly, she would laugh hysterically when killing with her extremely loud chainsaw while wearing a wide smile, '

' What a scary woman, ' I thought.
