Chapter 268 Let's go meet mother

"Why did you hide it?"

Arvina questioned with a frown on her face.

A wry smile appeared on Nux's face as he answered,

"Teacher Arvina, think with me,

An 18-year-old, Grand Master Stage Cultivator, with Exceptional Level Affinities with all four elements, with no background whatsoever,

What do you think would happen if this is revealed?

Do you think that I will be praised by others?"

"…" Arvina turned silent.

"Do you think they will make me the King of the Academy and then the Future Pillar of the Kingdom?"

Nux questioned.

And Arvina stayed silent.

"What do you think will happen, Teacher?" Nux questioned again.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"You will be killed…"

Arvina answered.

She knows it better than anyone else.

Nux's talent has never been seen before.

Never.

There would be many who would covet this talent.

There would be many who would be jealous of his talents.

There would be many who would try to recruit this talent, however, at the same time, once Nux is recruited, there would be many who would try to get rid of this talent to avoid any future troubles.

Even if he is recruited by Royal Family, the strongest power in the Kingdom, where no one would dare to cause any harm to him,

There would still be many, inside the Royal family who would try to get rid of him.

There would be many assassins sent by other kingdoms who would try to get rid of him.

Heck, there are chances that the King would feel threatened by his talent and would try to get rid of him.

All in all, the chances of Nux surviving after revealing his talent to the world were close to null.

Thinking about all this, another question popped into Arvina's mind.

"You could have easily refused to answer the question and I would have no choice but to let it go.

Why did you tell me something so important?

Why are you risking your life?"

A small smile appeared on Nux's face as he answered,

"You are my teacher.

I can trust you enough to keep this a secret, can I not?"

Arvina blinked a few times and then, a beautiful smile appeared on her stern-looking face.

"You can.

You can trust your teacher, Nux Leander."

Nux smiled however, soon he noticed that Arvina's smile widened,

"However, don't think you will be living a comfortable life anymore, Nux. You wanted to train under me, correct?

Get ready for hell, because I will polish a refined gem like you with everything I have.

And unlike Candice, I won't let you slack off at all."

Arvina smiled even more.

*Gulp*

Nux gulped.

"Umm… Teacher Arvina… I have a request…" He muttered in a low voice.

"What is it?" Arvina questioned.

"I need a leave, for a week."

"…"

"Teacher?"

"…"

Arvina looked at Nux with a deadpan expression on her face.

"Just after you made me your teacher?"

"I-It is important, Teacher Arvina,

I-I promise to train as hard as I can once I return."

Nux promised.

Arvina then thought about it a little and then questioned,

"Can you tell me where are you going?"

"You know why I fought Candice, correct?" Nux questioned.

"Umm… not really…

That girl didn't tell me and changed the topic whenever I asked her about it. There are people talking about it everywhere, but I would rather not believe in rumours." Arvina answered.

Nux smiled disdainfully.

"Of course, she didn't tell you.

Let me tell you what happened then…"

Nux then told Arvina about how Candice first sided with Oswald, then how she entered Evane's class, how she acted and how things proceeded after that.

The more Arvina listened, the colder her eyes got.

"The Weak doesn't have the right to complain huh?" She growled, her anger was clear in her eyes.

"Just because you are talented and have people protecting you from behind, you dare say arrogant words like these?

Who does she think she is!?

She is merely a Master Stage Cultivator right now!

By her concept, should every Grand Master Stage Cultivator bully her then? How the hell would people of this world get stronger if everyone restricts and continue to bully them?

What kind of fucked up logic is that!?

Also, how dare she talk to a Teacher like that!?

Just who gave her the galls to do something like that!?"

Arvina continued and then, she shook her head,

"Negligent! I have been too Negligent!"

Arvina then turned towards Nux,

"Alright, you take that boy to his mother, I will give you one week.

Also, you don't need to apply for any leaves, I'll handle that for you.

As for me,"

Arvina's eyes then turned cold as she growled,

"I need to fix someone and I need some time to do that.

I guess a week will be enough."

A smile appeared on Nux's face as he nodded,

"Alright teacher, I will be back in a week then."

Arvina's cold expression turned into a smile and she nodded,

"Enjoy as much as you want, my student.

Your days, once you return, won't be very good."

"I will look forward to it."

Nux nodded and after a bow, he left Arvina's office.

Then, he walked toward Royce's room and muttered,

"Alright, we will be leaving the academy."

"Huh? Why? Didn't you win? Are they pressuring you?" Royce questioned with a worried look on his face.

"Oh c'mon, don't worry kid.

Nothing like that is happening, I just want to see your mother."

"Huh?"

"I mean, don't you want to meet your mother?" Nux questioned.

A big smile appeared on Royce's face, however, soon, that smile disappeared,

He didn't want to tell him anything that happened to his mother…

He didn't want to show his pathetic side to his mother.

"You have to tell her, Royce.

This is the only way you can make a stronger comeback. Treat this as a setback of your life." Nux suggested.

Then, a determined look appeared on Royce's face and he nodded,

"Alright, let's go meet mother."
