Chapter 18 - The Harsh Reality Of This World 2

**3rd person POV**

[Somewhere in Nebula Academy]

** Ten minutes earlier**

A golden haired man standing in a lush green garden said "Ren" as if talking to himself.

A moment later a man appeared behind him before saying "Lord Richard". The golden haired man was none other than the principal of Nebula Academy.

"Someone is trying to infiltrate this academy go check who it is" said the principal in a calm tone.

"Yes Lord Richard" Ren said with no questions asked before disappearing and appearing a few moments later.

"Lord Richard, it's a rag-tag group of Asuras using a spacial disruptor, with the leader in mid platinum rank, three in gold rank, at least ten in silver rank. The rest are in iron and bronze which I assume are the cannon fodders.

"Should I dispose of them?" He asked the principal.

The principal was silent for a few moments before saying " No don't, instead redirect them to the area of year 1 special dorms".

"But Lord Richard, this will ruin your reputation as well as the academy's. Plus all the scions of the big families are there".

"It's not your place to worry about that, plus if they cannot handle this rag-tag group of Asuras then they aren't worthy of being in this academy much less the special class, aren't worthy of being called the golden generation as well".

"Also don't forget my disciple is there and don't underestimate the scions of the great clans, they aren't from the big clans for nothing plus I see a few talented commoners too, so don't worry and do as I say".

"In a way it'll also be a way to expose them to the harsh reality of this world".

"As you wish Lord Richard".

**[Special dorms area]**

As Aurora landed in front of the dazed cadets, she looked around at the carnage before saying "it looks like you manage to hold your own against them" as her eyes settled on the cadets.

No one spoke for a moment until Lily moved towards her. "I thought you left us alone when I didn't see you around" she said with a pout.

"Turns out you were being a hero taking out the strongest one" she continued but Aurora ignored her.

"Oh I assure you he wasn't the strongest" a sinister voice echoed before a terrifying pressure came down on the cadets.

Fuck whatever this is it's definitely stronger than gold rank, Adam thought as he couldn't even move a muscle.

"Allow me to introduce myself" a man or Asura appeared above them.

This Asura, his features are just like the rest we've slain, except that this one wore a regal attire and appears far more intelligent than the ones we've encountered. Adam thought.

But what I should be worrying about right now is not the asura's looks or intelligence but my own life which is most certainly at stake. He thought.

"I am Alucard Baal from the noble house of Baal, and I am burdened with glorious purpose, which is to eliminate the younger seeds of the human race" he said with great pride and fanfare as two more Asuras arrived beside him.

"Well you can certainly try" Aurora said in an indeffrent tone.

"I'll deal with him, I trust you guys will deal with the rest right?" She said turning to the cadets immobilized behind her before realizing they could not move at all.

She released her power as a purple aura shrouded her and while not as vast as alucard's, it was more denser and powerful than his.

Alucard watched with intrest as she released her aura, but his expression changed the moment she turned to look at him right before they both disappeared.

**Adam Walker's POV**

I watched as both Aurora and Alucard disappeared thereby releasing the pressure on us, but it wasn't over yet as we still had two more enemies, who were most certainly in gold rank.

It seems we're about to fight the hardest battle of our lives.

"Well at least we can move, right bro" Owen said while winking.

"Will you be serious, this is a life and death battle" Ashley chided.

And just as Ashley finished speaking one of them attacked us with a dark orb to which we spread around as the orb exploded right Where we were a moment ago.

You know am getting a deja Vu.

It took a few seconds before the asura aimed to attack again, but this time before he could throw his dark orb, numerous light constructs bombarded him forcing him to move away only to be hit by a large bolt of lightning.

The ones who attacked the asura were Ashley and Damien. Seeing that an idea came to my mind.

"That's it guys we just have to keep attacking him without giving him a moment of respite". I said to them.

"Well at least that's better than blindly attacking" Lily said before vines entrapped with thorns went after the asura but he dodged them only to be hit again but this time by blood red flames.

"Wow it's really working" Owen exclaimed.

Yes it was working but they seemed to have forgotten there wasn't one but two Asuras here and the other was also at the gold rank.

And soon he shot towards us or me specifically and seeing that I shot upwards evading the blow that cracked the ground upon impact.

"A silver rank that can fly, at least I won't be totally bored today" he said with a deranged expression on his face.

Crushing I thought and an enormous pressure descended on him. He did lose his balance for a second but soon regained it.

"What an interesting ability you have there kukuku" he said with a creepy laugh before he shot to me with another punch but slower this time, because my crushing was still acting on him and will continue to do so long as he's in my gravitational field.

I also shot away but in a few seconds he was already catching up to me and that's when he is being slowed down by my crushing.
