[Third Person POV]
Ryujin stayed at Ciel's mansion for three days. He went on a date with her on the first day but was prohibited to go out of the house for the next two days.
The bounty was still not yet released by the Oppressors, still the security on Ryujin was tight. On Sunday he was allowed to return to the dorm.
Ciel of course wanted him to stay more but she knew that Ryujin was feeling a bit uncomfortable with all of those guards around him.
Even when Ryujin was being escorted to his dorm, hundreds of heroes were surrounding his car.
While Ryujin was away, Lucas took care of the pets. Ryujin was at his dorm. He could feel many changes made to the academy. The security was a lot tighter. There were also a lot more security robots guarding the facility.
Once Ryujin entered the dorm he could see, Brie on his sofa petting Kuro and Tuck. Chip as always was sleeping. Ryujin let down his suitcase. He didn't bring any clothes to Ciel's mansion but they sent him a suitcase full of new and expensive clothes.
"Looks like the security was still quite loose for you."
Ryujin entered the room and he looked at Brie. She was sitting on his sofa petting Tuck and Kuro. Chip was sleeping right beside her.
"Well, I am an S-rank. What did you expect?"
Those traps and security could stop an S-rank but Brie's metamorphism could bypass most of the defenses easily.
"So how is your plan moving?"
Ryujin asked Brie as he started to unpack his belongings.
"It is quite hard for me to track him after all, he is an S-rank and every time he is surrounded my his guards.
"Hmmm...You focus on how to kill me, leave the tracking upto me."
"How will you do it? You won't be able to move freely after what you did."
Ryujin was the hot topic of the whole world right now. Villians would be after him and one wrong step could end Ryujin's life...thats what Brie thought.
"I have some people who are capable of tracking anyone without anybody knowing."
[I am going to have to track him won't I? ]
Ryujin was going to use the system to track the guild master of the Pegasus guild. The system could hack any camera and device easily. It could sense the mana of people wherever they were. After all it was a relic made by the God himself.
Brie on the other hand was a bit skeptical of Ryujin's tracking ability but she didn't question him.
Ryujin threw a mana core at Brie. Brie caught the core and immediately jumped up.
"This...This is an S-rank core and of the highest quality as well. How did you get it?"
"You don't need to know that. Just make a chimera using that Core?"
Chimera making was her speciality. Brie couldn't hide her excitment.
"What kind of chimera do you want?"
"Make a parasitic chimera and make it small in size. Don't make the chimera by killing any himans,use insects."
The request Ryujin made was hard to execute. To compress such a high level core into a small being was hard and not using a human body would make it harder. A human body was capable of handling mana but any insect couldn't do it. Brie didn't deny his request and was ready to make the chimera.
"By the way, where are you staying right now?"
Ryujin was curoius how Brie was escaping from the eyes of the heroes ans well as villian
"Just turning into a pigeon and staying in a tree."
"Hm..we could buy you a property for you to stay and work on the chimera but that would lower your diguise."
Ryujin was thinking about a place to stay when he remebered a perfect hideout.
'System, give Brie the permission to snter the Naga dungeon.'
[Are you sure?]
'Yeah.'
Ryujin wasn't using that dungeon that much anyway and he could find a new one anytime with the system's assistance.
Ryujin then wrote the location of the Naga dungeon and safest way to get there and passed it to Brie. She gave a skeptical look when she was the location cause the place was inside the illusion forest.
"What is in this place?"
"A dungeon. I have killed the boss but other mobs might have already spawned. Use it as your hideout. Stop infront of the location and the entrance will automatically open for you"
Brie was utterly shocked. Who in the world gives a location to a dungeon this easily? Well Ryujin but still.
'Just who are you?'
It was easy to make a dungeon a hideout after the boss was killed. The mobs would keep spawing but it can be prevented by keeping an mana absorbing ore at the dungeon.Since the mana would be collected,the monsters wouldn't be able to spawn. That is also how every guild and government produced mana orbs except for Ryujin.
Brie was happy to have a place to stay. She was tired of staying on trees and people throwing grains at she was diguised as a pigeon.
"I will go now. Gotta make sure my new house is well decorated."
She trasnformed into a pigeon and flew away.
"Yo pigeon don't shit on monsters head as you fly."
Ryujin sarcastically called out Brie. Brie just turned back and made an annoyed face.
******
The next day, the Astrik Academy was starting. Though that wasn't the big news. The Oppressors had released a bounty on Ryujin.
Everybody had speculated them to establish a bounty but the price on his head was ridiculous.
Five billion$ was a lot of money. The good thing was they wanted him alive while that was bad at the same time, cause the heroes knew that they wanted him for something.
The bounty created such chaos on the world that the president of the government was going to do an press conference.
The press confrence was going to be at the the main headquarters of the government at 8 am.There were thousands of reporters ready with their camera to capture every word and sentence of the President, Alexander Canmore.
The confrence was happening inside the headquarters. The hall of the building was so big that it could hold tens of thousands of people inside.
"Clack!Clack!"
The presdient walked onto the big stage. The noise around the buliding stopped immediately. Everybody was silent infront of the strongest hero to ever exist. He was the father of the hero of the heroes and the second human being in the world with a Divine Ability.
The man had black hair and deep ocean blue eyes. He was around 6 feet tall. Even though he was 56 years old he still looked as if he was in his twenties.
He carried himself with the outmost confiedence and his charisma was ozzing out of his body.
Once he took a sit, all of the cameras were focused on him. The event was going live and the people eyes were glued on their tv or the holographic screen on the watch.
"Good morning eveybody. I am the president of the government, Alexander Canmore. Today I am here to address the issue with bounty on one of the student's head."
Alexander didn't say Ryujin's name but eveybody knew who he refered to. Usually a reporter would ask a question but all of them didn't have the balls to disrupt Alexnader when he was talking.
"Looks like none of you are ready to ask me any thing so I will begin to address the issue."
As he said that the atmosphere changed. The whole place got cold and scary.
"The Oppressors had recently attacked the Astrik Academy. This was a huge attack from their side. I will not discuss more on the academy's situation as the headmaster has already talked about it and the security is even tighter. The traitor inside the academy has been caught and executed as well."
Heimen was caught on the same day of the attack and executed on the very next day. Only Brie and Heimen knew that Ciel was a half vampire. Brie didn't reveal that fact to anyone and nor did Heimen.
"I am glad that there was not a single causaulty and pleased that we have such a strong force on our side. The student will receive awards from the government and the academy the next day for his heroics. Other students will also receive their prizes for their contribution."
It was expected that the government and academy would reward Ryujin. It would be weird not to after all he did. Ryujin's squad and Ciel's squad would also be rewarded as they played a hand to defeat Brie and destoy the barrier.
"Now onto the main topic. The bounty on the student's head is hefty. The villians will do anything to get that bounty. I addition they want him alive which means they want him for something evil. So to prevent this we will increase the security around the student."
Finally a reporter raised his hand.Alexander gave him the permission to ask the question.
"How many heroes will be guarding the student?"
" Outside the academy there are some
heroes that I have chosen to guard him. I am
not going to state their names but inside the academy two of the teacher will be guarding him"
Alexander theory was logical but still assigning only two guards was a bit underwhelming.
"Can we know atleast who the guards are inside the academy?"
Alexander gave a smile.
"The hero of heroes, Akio Canmore and the witch of Blood Garden, Lily Haema."
