Chapter 310 Practical Lesson (Part 1)
It turned out that wasn\'t true at all.
As Kelly went to grab her things from her desk, closing them up and placing a special ring device on her finger, she turned her head to look back at \'Jake.\'
\'Honestly, it wasn\'t because of me that I got that perfect answer; I just repeated what you said,\' Kelly thought as she let out a small smile toward him. \'I don\'t know if you\'re really the Dark Magus\' puppet, or you\'re just someone who knew him really well, but it\'s quite clear that you\'re a knowledgeable person.\'
\'I don\'t think that\'s something a spirit would be capable of. I can\'t shake this feeling, but it seems impossible, and even if that was the case, then doesn\'t that mean most of what the world knew was completely wrong?\'
Keeping these thoughts to herself, it was time for them to head off to the next lesson. Kelly had gone down, exiting out of the doorway into the hallway, and stayed there for a moment.
The adults walked past, a few of them saying a few words as they did.
"An excellent answer; it\'s hard to get praise from Professor Quartz. You seem to be quite the talented individual; here, take this." One of the parents handed over a card, and it was a guild card. It was an invitation for Kelly to work in their guild.
"Thank you so much for this," Kelly said with a small bow, and when she lifted her head, there were quite a few others who were handing out different cards to her. Not just guild cards, but business cards and more.
It was only one question, so she was quite stunned by the number of offers she had gotten and how much the opinion of others had changed. But this was all because each person was trying to get ahead of the other. There was a good chance that Kelly might just become a nobody, no one of significance, but getting Quartz\'s approval there, was in their minds, a slightly higher chance that she could be someone special, and no one wanted to give that up.
In a few years, they would have kicked themselves in the foot if they had learned Kelly had become someone significant, and they hadn\'t even tried to make an offer. After all, not all of the parents in the central academy were the owners or leaders of these establishments; they just worked for them.
Not wanting to seem rude, Kelly had accepted nearly all of the cards, but she did have a thought on her mind.
\'I won\'t be joining any of the guilds or other businesses because I\'m already part of the Dark Guild, and that is where my loyalty lies.\'
Just as she thought that, the person who she had been waiting for outside the door had appeared.
"Let\'s go," Kelly said with a smile, walking side by side with Jake. Tilting her head, she went to have a glance behind her.
"What\'s wrong?" Raze asked.
"Nothing, it just felt like something was touching me," Kelly answered.
It wasn\'t just in her imagination though, because Raze could feel it too. The magic that was swirling in the air, there was a strong amount of bloodlust out there.
Raze was starting to think about his own situation; so far, two of the Qi pills had been consumed. He still had plenty to go through throughout the day. If all things worked out well, then after the evening event, Raze could quickly go to his secret vault and grab the items that he needed.
\'If I can, the best chance might be at the event itself. My old classroom, it was in section A, at the top floor of the academy. People will wonder why I\'m hanging around there if they see me. So let\'s see what this evening event has in store.\'
The practical lesson took place in an arena that was built into the academy itself. There was a circular dueling platform, and then further around it in a larger circle was a pit of sand.
After that, there was also seating for spectators to watch. Once in a while, great events would be put in the arena, and the general public was also allowed to enter and watch, but for now, all of the family members would be taking place watching.
Raze went ahead and took his seat in the stands along with the others, and just like the time before, Alen had also tried to take a seat next to Raze, but he raised his hand before he sat down.
"I don\'t mind you being close to me," Raze said. "But I have a small issue with personal space. I promise this has nothing to do with you, and I respect you, but do you mind being one seat over?"
Rather than acting strange or weird, Raze thought it was best to just give a plausible explanation that would kill Alen\'s curiosity, who seemed to respect the decision and decided to take a seat one over.
The person to Raze\'s right, who had overheard the conversation, had done the same. Looking in front of him, Raze noticed that there was a special device attached to the stand wall.
"It\'s a magical barrier," Alen explained. "It uses beast crystals and with a magical circle built into the device. These fights sometimes can get a little spicy. It\'s to stop attacks from coming out here and to stop attacks from the outside from getting in. Not that you were planning to intervene, right?"
