YM778.TV Chapter 282 Huh? ls that even a question?
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
“Enter.”
Nux knocked on the door and soon, he heard a familiar voice.
A smile appeared on his face as he entered.
“I am back, teacher.” He bowed his head.
Arvina looked at him with her Brown-red eyes and then, a small smile appeared on her face.
“It is good that you are back.”
Soon, however, a frown appeared on her face as she questioned,
“Why are you hiding your cultivation again?”
“There are many eyes here, teacher,” Nux answered.
“Don’t worry, the servants working here are loyal to me.” Arvina answered, however, when her eyes fell on Nux, she paused.
Nux was looking at her with a wry smile on his face.
She understood what that expression meant.
“As I said, they are all loyal to me.”
She repeated.
“Are you 100% sure?” Nux questioned. .
“I am.” Arvina answered.
“Teacher Arvina, a human heart can be unpredictable, are you 100% sure that these people are loyal to you?” Nux questioned again.
“Are you 100% sure that these people would die without any hesitation if you order them you?
Are you 100% sure that these people would not reveal anything even if they are tortured inhumanly?”
“…”
Nux continued to question and Arvina turned silent.
A human heart was unpredictable indeed.
So unless someone had the Slave Seal like Nux has, no one would be able to trust their subordinates without a sliver of doubt.
“Alright, I understand.
You can keep hiding your cultivation.”
Arvina then sighed.
She was pretty positive that her subordinates are loyal to her, however, she could still not be 100% sure about this.
There are always variables.
And Nux’s secret…
Honestly, it was much more dangerous than what Nux thinks.
Things weren’t as simple as Nux made it out to be.
Of course, Arvina didn’t blame Nux for this.
How is he supposed to know the inner workings of the Kingdom that even most of the members of the Royal Family don’t know?
“Yes, it is always better to be careful.” Nux nodded and Arvina nodded back.
“Alright, I believe you have already had enough time to rest, how about we start your training?”
Arvina changed the topic and muttered.
Small talks weren’t something she was good at anyway,
Rather than talking about this, they should focus on Swords.
Or at least that’s what Arvina felt.
“As you say, Teacher Arvina.” Nux nodded his head.
Arvina smiled she stood up and stretched her body.
Nux felt that she was deliberately trying to tease him, however, he did not avert his gaze.
He would be a fool to do something like that.
Tsk Tsk, he would rather enjoy the alluring sight that was in front of his eyes.
Arvina noticed that he was looking as well, she frowned and then she stopped stretching. Then, she walked out of her office without saying anything.
Nux followed behind her obediently.
The two of them walked into the garden and suddenly, Nux frowned.
“Teacher…”
“What is it?” Arvina questioned.
“Where is the oh so mighty Queen of the Academy?” Nux questioned.
“She left,” Arvina answered.
“Huh? She left the academy?” Nux frowned.
Was she that embarrassed?
“No, she did not leave the Academy, she just left this place.
The headmaster of the Academy returned 2 days earlier and heard about everything that happened.
Hearing that you defeated Candice, he was shocked.
He then came to me to talk about your battle and while he was about to leave, Candice approached him.”
Arvina explained.
“Huh? What did she say?” Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
“She said that the reason she lost was that I didn’t teach her properly and only told her to practice one move I have taught her again and again.
She said that since she didn’t have a variety of moves to fight against you, she lost the battle.” Arvina answered with an expressionless face. She didn’t look very bothered about this incident.
“Ahh, so she blamed you.
Why am I not surprised?” Nux chuckled, then, he turned towards Arvina and questioned,
“So? What did the Headmaster say?”
“Well, no matter what, Candice still has Exceptional Level affinity with the water element, she has a bright future.
The Headmaster did not reject her and took her in as his student.”
“Ahh, so now she is Headmaster’s student.” Nux nodded with a smile on his face.
“Tsk Tsk, the only thing that was mildly good about her fight was that her moves seemed well practised, to think she would give up on that advantage as well~
A fool indeed.”
“Actually,” Suddenly, Arvina muttered.
“Hmm?”
“The Headmaster came here because he wanted to take you in as his student. Now that you have returned, I believe he will return and try to take you as his student.
You do not have to worry, if you feel like he would be a better teacher than me, then, by all means, you can leave with him.” Arvina muttered.
“Question…”
“What is it?”
“Teacher Arvina, if you and Headmaster fight without using Mana, who will win?” Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
“Huh? Is that even a question?
I would beat that baldy up.”
Arvina answered as if it was a fact.
“Then why would I go to that baldy and train under him?” Nux questioned with a smile.
“Oi, he is the Headmaster, you cannot call him that.”
“…”
Nux looked at Arvina with a deadpan expression on his face.
“Alright, whatever, let’s start your training.
I will train you from basic, if I feel like you know it already, we will increase the level.” Arvina muttered.
“Yes, teacher.” A serious look appeared on Nux’s face as he nodded.
Arvina liked that look.
A small smile appeared on her face as she continued.
“Alright, let’s start with your posture first. I won’t change much, however, let’s try to reduce the openings it has.”
“Yes, teacher.” Nux nodded with a determined look on his face.
He was very much looking forward to it.
He needed to impress Arvina after all.
And just like that, Nux’s training started.
