In one of the floors of a high skyscraper,a room exquisitely adorned with glass walls revealed the breathtaking view of Oslon City's magnificent architecture. Various furnitures and antique vases in the selfsame room constantly suffered from the wrath of a figure with an intimidating build.
Ronald Conrad, the Guild master of Slyrax Guild struggled to reign in his anger as anything he came across suffered from his uncontrollable temper..
Bang... bang... bang..
After all, this was the only way to let out his anger at the moment.
Having glanced at the news feed of Lucas Grimstone quickly advancing to C rank , thick veins were visibly outlined on his face....
A few seconds later, he calmed down, then regained his calm composure...
However,killing intent that made his secretary subconsciously shudder in fear was released from him as he spoke...
"So you are still alive... murderer of my disciple, I guess I underestimated you... Let's see if you can survive this time... I heard your class is embarking on a practical assessment trip ..I have prepared a little present for you for your practical assessment trip tomorrow .. I hope you will like it "..
His eyes flashed with a trace of malevolence ,as he clenched his fists ...
The poor secretary shuddered in fear as the Guild Master looked at her with a smile only seen on the faces of serial murderers in TV shows... " Contract a high ranked assassin of the Dark web to deal with him during his wilderness survival trip tomorrow... "
"Yes sir." The secretary nodded with fear evident in her voice , then quickly turned to leave the former beautiful room now turned a wreckage of furnitures and antique vases.
Hands clad behind his back ,he calmly ventured towards the transparent glass walls, his eyes peering towards the magnificent view of the city, then he calmly muttered with a devious smirk " Let's see if you can survive this time"
*********
A group of teenagers had gathered in a large hall full of flamboyant paintings and exquisite furniture. ..
However , the serious and silent atmosphere strongly contrasted with the beautiful environs of the flamboyant hall,casting a gloomy feel in the atmosphere..
The reason for this silence was a particular individual seated on a couch around which the other youngsters had silently gathered.
The silence did not reign for long as the chilly ,detached voice of the white haired,casual dressed ,breathtaking feminine figure responsible for this gathering rung in the ears of all the youngsters present. " Ever since that Lucas Grimstone appeared, he is all everyone talks about. The recognition and respect we used to enjoy in Oslon City Academy as heirs to reputable families, have gone down the drain... Ever since that video of him humiliating Cruz Fanoma ,Carl and Amanda begun to trend, mere ants who hail from poor and unreputable families now have the morale to even confidently dare look us in the face when we are talking to them ... Our achievements as prodigies on campus are no longer mentioned. In fact, those ants who used to fawn over us whenever we passed by them now ignore us and talk about him ...There is no way a mere orphan , a mere ant like him can overshadow us, and our prestige as people from prestigeous families ...
He has to die, as he is a threat to us all.
It does not matter if he has an SSS rank talent, it does not matter if his speed of growth is terrifying, it does not matter if he is the disciple of the Sword Saint, in the diabolic beast zone, all deaths are attributed to beasts and his death cannot be traced back to us ...! "
These teenagers had all been spoiled from a young age .. Hailing from rich and prestigious families, they had been dotted on and had always been the centre of worship and attention wherever they went,coupled wth the fact that they awakened superb affinities with talents ranging from C to A rank ...
With the wealth of their families at their disposal, they had access to affinity related skills, high quality weapons, and the support of ether dense areas to assist them in making shocking breakthroughs in their journey as awakened.. Their pride run deep in their bones...
They used to be the centre of worship on campus until Lucas Grimstone showed up...
In their anger as spoiled brats, they thought the world revolved around them, and therefore had every right to make Lucas Grimstone pay for trying to steal the spotlight from them ....
Various responses that affirmed the words of their supposed leader sitting in the couch rung out in the environs... A number of curses rained down on the subject of discussion....
"Silence ....!!" Their leader spoke, causing the echoes to dwindle down into complete subtlety, then she continued to talk as she stared at a particularly tall individual with a lean physique..
"I am well aware that Micheal Caso's brother Vermit, was abused for student credits in an alleyway by this Lucas Grimstone a few days ago.. Young master Micheal personally requested that he has something to say in our gathering " ..
"Yes , Miss Lordina Cane... Being a B ranker such as yourself, I would like to personally get rid of him on behalf of everyone here and also as a way of making him pay for what he did to my brother ..." Micheal Caso's voice calmly rung in the ears of all present as he stepped forward with a slight bow to the group leader,to request that he is allowed to deal with Lucas Grimstone, the cancer that plagued them currently.
"Well, You and I are basically in the same shoes , Micheal... As you are all aware, this same Lucas humiliated my little sister Amanda a few days ago...Both being B rankers, I am pretty sure that we can give him a slow and painful end right?.. How about we both join hands to put an end to this Lucas Grimstone ?... Though he is just a C ranker and you can deal with him alone...I would love to subject him to unimaginable physical and emotional pain for what he did to my sister.. Care for me to join you to deal with you? " Lordina Cane, the leader of the supposed group of genius teenagers from prestigious families on Oslon City Academy campus called the Elite Club ,casually spoke as she playfully messed with her white hair...
A shiver run down the spines of all present.
EVERYONE in the room including Micheal Caso himself,knew that her words left no room for negotiation... Micheal and her, will deal with Lucas Grimstone themselves ... it was settled... Anyone who would oppose her, would face the consequences..
Having an A rank talent potential and currently at the B rank, when she was only at the fourth year, she was a prodigy.
Her Soul Stun Affinity was terrifying..
She could temporarily stun the minds of an unlimited number of opponents either at her hunter level or below for one minute, as soon as they came into contact with some sort of aura she released, causing them to lose control over their affinities in that one minute period..
With this affinity , she had subdued everyone in the room, and crushed their pride before her ....
As pin drop silence reigned in the room at her words, she lazily yawned then spoke one last time " Very well lads, await the elimination of Lucas Grimstone ...Micheal and I will sneak into the diabolic beast zone to get rid of him during his Wilderness Survival practical assessment test tomorrow...Meeting has ended.."...
