Chapter 286 My condolences.

As soon as Nux walked out of his classroom, a familiar blue-haired girl appeared in front of him.

Nux paused a smile appeared on Candice’s face.

“Heeeh, you ran away pretty quickly huh?”

Candice commented.

“Were you so excited that you won against me that you took a week’s leave just so you could digest the victory?”

Despite doing her best to provoke him, Candice failed to achieve her goal, instead, a small smile appeared on Nux’s face as he greeted her.

“Yo~ If it isn’t the Ex Queen of the Academy.

How are you doing?”

Candice’s face twitched in annoyance.

“What did you say!?” She questioned.

Mind you, in these last few days, Candice has regained quite a bit of her reputation, she became the personal student of the Head Master of the Academy after all.

Of course, Nux didn’t care about something like that.

“Hmm? Did I hit you a little too hard? Were your ears damaged?” Nux questioned in worry.

“Have you taken a healing potion, what did the medics say?”

The more he questioned, the more Candice’s body trembled in frustration.

“You bastard! Remember, you only won because I didn’t use Mana! If we had fought fairly, you wouldn’t have lasted for a second!”

Nux smiled,

“You bitch, remember, you can only say this because you are a Master Stage Cultivator, if you were only an Advance Stage Cultivator, you wouldn’t have lasted for a second!”

“…”

Candice turned silent and looked at Nux with a blank look on her face.

“Does your words even make sense? What’s the point of talking about it when I am already Master Stage Cultivator?”

“Exactly.”

Nux nodded.

Candice frowned in confusion, however, soon, she realized what Nux was trying to say.

A vein popped on her forehead as she yelled in frustration,

“Y-You bastard! Both the conditions are different!

In our battle, I was the one who held back!

As for the cultivation, you weren’t forced to hold back, you are just not talented enough!

We are different!”

“We are different indeed.”

Nux admitted.

Candice then smiled, however, before she could celebrate her victory, Nux continued,

“I wasn’t the one who kowtowed in front of the whole Academy and rubbed my nose on the ground.”

“Y-Y-Y-You Bastard!”

Candice roared in rage and suddenly,

“Hahahaha~” A hearty laughter was heard.

Nux frowned and then his eyes fell on the Bald Man who stood behind Candice and was laughing nonstop.

“T-Teacher! Stop laughing!” Candice screamed in embarrassment.

“Hahaha~” The man she called teacher, however, continued to laugh and only after laughing for a good minute did he finally calm down.

“I-I can’t believe there is someone who can handle my student so easily even though he is weaker than her.

It is quite amusing to see her reactions. Hahaha~”

Nux glanced at the man and then, his golden eyes shined brightly.

…

‘Ahh, so he is her new teacher.’ Nux realized.

This man was the Headmaster of the Royal Academy, a man who is as strong as the King and the strongest existence in this Academy.

However…

‘Hmmm… how do I say…

Kind of disappointing…?’

Nux thought inwardly.

He thought that a King Stage Cultivator would be a bit stronger than this man, however, he was wrong.

‘Is Emperor Stage the same as well?’

Nux thought inwardly, however, soon, Amaya’s warning echoed in his mind.

‘Emperors are different.’

Nux’s gaze turned serious, he shouldn’t be too careless and should stick with his plans.

There is no need to rush things.

“Ahh, allow me to introduce myself, I am Eliyard Kingson, the Headmaster of the Academy.”

Eliyard introduced with a smile on his face. He was a 1.8-meter tall man with a large build, he had brown eyes, a straight nose, thin eyebrows and no hair on his head.

He wore a lavish purple-coloured coat and was looking at Nux with a smile on his face.

“Ahh, Greetings, Headmaster.” Nux bowed his head a little and greeted.

“Mhm, and I am also this girl’s new teacher.” Eliyard pointed at Candice and informed.

“My condolences.”

Nux lowered his head as if he was actually sad for him.

Candice’s mouth twitched again, however, before she could react, Eliyard laughed out loud.

“Hahaha~ No no, this is nothing to feel bad about, rather, she is a rare gem that learns everything like a sponge.

She will become a great cultivator in the future, I am proud to be her teacher.”

A smile appeared on Candice’s face.

“Ahh, I am sure that would be the case.” Nux nodded his head.

However, with how indifferent and unnatural his movements looked, even a child could tell that he was faking it.

“Hmph! Teacher Arvina just didn’t teach me well, else I would have not lost against you!”

Candice snorted.

“My condolences.”

Nux turned towards Eliyard and lowered his head again.

“Huh? Why?” Eliyard frowned.

“With how she is, I am sure this girl would challenge me again, then when she loses, she will say the same thing again,

‘Hmph! Teacher Eliyard just didn’t teach me well, else I would have not lost against you!’

I just hope that the Headmaster won’t be too heartbroken.”

Nux muttered and Candice’s face turned red in anger.

This bastard was really good at getting on her nerves.

“You bastard! That is not an excuse! Teacher Arvina only taught me a single move and then told me to keep on repeating it again and again!

Just what type of crazy person keep practising what he already knows!?

How will one progress like that!?”

Nux, however, just shook his head,

“Naah, you were just not good enough.”

“Huh?” Candice frowned.

“I started training with teacher yesterday, and she already taught me 3 moves.”

“H-Huh?” Candice’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Alright, we are not here to compare the two teachers.” The Headmaster interjected, then, he turned towards Nux and questioned,

“Nux Leander, I am here to ask you,

How about you become my personnel student as well?”
