This time around, the mages with Xavier numbered four, including Xavier.
Xavier wore a long robe of black and white, arrogance clear in his eyes.
There was another young man in blue, eyes calm and body straight as a rod. His eyes were disdainful and cold.
As for the two women, they were High-grade beauties. Although Tron had seen beautiful women, from a distance, of course, women as beautiful and moving as this were rare.
One of the girls was petite, with a cold demeanor. Although alluring, one would not dare to approach her. The other girl in red was very cute. She was small, yet with a full figure. She had bright eyes and teeth and looked very charming.
However, when they faced the servants and the rest, they still looked at them like ants on the ground.
"You!" Xavier leaped off his new mutated beast and reached Tron in just a single leap, his eyes narrowed in confusion.
"I smashed your skull to pieces, how are you still alive?" Xavier asked as his brows furrowed.
"Xavier." The three behind walked up. Seeing Tron, they were stunned as well.
"This slave is not dead?" the red-clothed girl exclaimed softly, her hand over her mouth.
"Answer me! How are you not dead?" Xavier was slightly unhappy. Back then, he had intended to kill Tron and warn the other servants that they were nothing more than ants.
Now that Tron is still alive, he failed to kill Tron, and his message to the servants is rendered obsolete.
Not only that, he would also be the laughingstock of his fellow mage.
Gazing at Xavier's arrogant face, Tron knew he could currently snap Xavier's neck with this distance at record-breaking speed. However, he was already close to becoming a student at Darkbane Academy, so it was best not to invite conflict at this time. He was afraid that he might not be allowed to participate in the entrance examination.
He glanced at Xavier expressionlessly as he said, "It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't held back during the last punishment then I might have died. "
Sethra had been trembling nervously, but upon hearing Tron say this, she sighed in relief and hurriedly added, "We thank you for your magnanimity and leniency. Regarding what happened before, we were at fault and neglected our care for the beasts. This will not happen again."
Xavier and the three behind looked at each other, then burst into laughter. Xavier said, "I didn't think the servants are this good at boot-licking."
"Xavier, you're hopeless. You can't even beat an ordinary slave to death," the red-clothed girl said. She looked at her beast mount. "If it had been my beast, this bunch of slaves would be in trouble. I would flay the skin of the ten servants nearby."
Her tone was sweet, but her words rendered one speechless. This was precisely the wickedness concealed beneath the heart of mages.
The red-clothed girl's words immediately made Xavier frown.
His eyes narrowed at Tron, "You killed my beast and I tried to kill you, a life for a life. However, you managed to survive. The blood Debt isn't settled. How's about this."
Xavier brought out a small dagger inlaid with precious little jewels on the handle and stretched it over to Tron.
"Kill the old bitch and I will consider our debt settled, for today."
Tron was confused at first but then he realized Xavier was referring to Sethra, his face immediately turned cold. The surrounding temperature dropped by several egressions and even the mutated beasts roaring and snarling within a meter's radius went silent, all staring in Tron's direction!
Not noticing this, the three other students behind Xavier immediately burst into laughter.
"You're so obscene, Xavier." the tall girl acolyte covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
"You have some interesting way to entertain yourself." The blue-clothed youngster chimed in.
Xavier said, "There's nothing wrong in having some fun right?"
The faces of the workers changed. They immediately retreated to the surroundings to tend to other acolyte mages' stead.
Sethra's lips quivered and she lowered her head. Mages are incredibly intelligent beings making them eccentric and ominous, a cut above the norm when they grow older.
Acolyte mages are even worse regarding this.
They are young, careless, and energetic. Their quirks and need for pleasure are more or less psychotic. Normal, legal things or scenes weren't enough to get them to feel much anymore.
Living here for more than 30 years, Sethra understood this and knew Tron would definitely lose his life and she might lose her life as well if he failed to do this.
Biting her lips, she turned and gazed softly at Tron. However, Tron's gaze was locked coldly on Xavier.
Knowing Tron wouldn't be able to do it, she gritted her teeth and grabbed the hilt of the luxurious knife.
"I-I will do it myself."
Tron's attention immediately snapped towards her direction.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Xavier's brows immediately furrowed in dissatisfaction and as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of blood spurting out in the air.
"Squelch!"
Sethra had stabbed herself! Her body swayed as she staggered to the back.
The onlooking acolytes chuckled.
"Decisive."
Xavier was immediately annoyed. His plan had been destroyed by her with her decisiveness.
"If you want to do it yourself, at least make it creative!"
He stepped forward and Immediately slapped her across the face.
"Pa!"
The already injured Sethra immediately fell to the ground, blood spilling from her stabbed wound.
Tron didn't make any move and watched this scene coldly. Normally, he would have acted irrationally and immediately sought to fight Xavier.
Five meters apart was more than enough distance for Tron to stab his hands through Xavier's belly, spilling his guts to the ground.
However, Acolytes weren't allowed to kill each other. Not to mention an ordinary servant killing an acolyte.
He would immediately be put to death or worse as an experiment for some old mage especially since his body was so freakishly strong.
At that point, finding information on how to repair Arcana Cortex and becoming a mage would become a pipe dream.
He could undoubtedly flee from the Academy after killing Xavier.
However, it would be incredibly hard to find another Mage Academy who would accept him. He had only been accepted as a servant at Darkbane Academy For Mages because of the fact that a Mage had forcefully placed him there as a promise to him for enduring 10 years of experiments without dying.
He wasn't going to give up 10 years of painful plans and for ten seconds of pleasure
In addition, he could Sethra was extremely untalented. Even if she didn't die now, she would die sooner or later within the vicinity of the academy. It was only a matter of time.
"This is getting boring, Xavier."
The other young man said to Xavier as he shook his head in disappointment.
