BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 I'm Busy
After Lothur handed in his test, the principal looked at him seriously and said. "Come with me. Let\'s redo your physical tests. I don\'t believe you are a talentless mortal."
"Uh? What are you talking about?" Lothur frowned and looked doubtfully at that man with the bulging belly.
"You\'ve aced all five tests you\'ve taken so far. How could you have done that without having great cultivation talent?" He stood beside Lothur and approached one of that young man\'s ears. "Your family is hiding you, right? Be sure. We\'ll keep the secret."
"Principal, I don\'t know what you are talking about. The Frost family didn\'t cheat the academy at all. I\'m just smarter than the teachers who took those tests..."
"What?" The two individuals on the principal\'s side felt Lothur\'s unnecessary attack.
Lothur looked at them, shook his shoulders, and laughed. "I am telling the truth. I just used a little common sense when analyzing the contents of the books I read in the library."
The principal did not think that was enough and insisted. "In any case, you didn\'t take the physical tests when you entered the academy, so I want you to follow me now."
"No. Now I have an appointment." Lothur refused without hesitation.
He had to train Elke, his momentary priority. So, he would not accept that man\'s orders because of something that could be done later.
"What? Busy? With what? How can anything be more important than the academy?" The principal felt slightly angry, remembering how annoying this individual could be.
"To me, what I\'m going to do now is more important than that. Besides, we can do any tests later, right? And I still have until Friday to do my sector advancement tests." He calmly replied.
"If you have a higher talent than reported by the Frost family, you won\'t need to take any tests..." One of the teachers said in a low voice as he looked at Lothur like he was in front of an idiot.
"I know that. But even if my talent were greater than that reported by the Frost family, I wouldn\'t change sectors."
Lothur already had all his plans in mind considering that he would slowly ascend within the academy. So, he would be greatly damaged if he simply accepted a promotion at this place.
After all, as a mortal, he had to worry only about the common subjects of this place and ascending only to Sector-4. In other words, his life was more convenient. He had more freedom and could complete his time at the academy faster.
So, why would he accept the privileges of this place when he had never needed them in the past?
Lothur knew that every benefit came with problems or responsibilities, so he would not simply let himself be lured into it!
"You wouldn\'t change sectors? What nonsense are you talking?" The principal made an unfriendly expression at this irritating young man.
Lothur opened his arms and smiled. "According to the academy rules, a talented student can start his studies in higher sectors, where there are more possibilities and better teachers. But that is only an option. If the student chooses to start in a lower sector, nothing can stop him."
"That\'s in the academy\'s statute book."
"Yes, but why would anyone do that? What is the advantage in having fewer options than one deserves?" The teacher of the subject that Lothur had just taken the exam asked.
"I don\'t need to justify myself. That\'s my decision."
Upon hearing this, the principal almost exploded in anger, beginning to feel his head getting hot from the irritation of having to listen to this person. \'He truly is a good-for-nothing! He has the opportunity to improve, but he uses every option he has to get away with it!\'
\'He doesn\'t want anything serious with his life! What a waste of a human being!\'
"Good, good! At least the academy won\'t lose its resources on someone uninterested!" He shouted, making all the students in that place pay attention to them.
"Go away! Since you\'re moving up a sector, I don\'t want to see your face anymore!"
After hearing the cries of the principal and seeing Lothur leaving that place with a smile on his lips, Elke understood everything that was happening.
\'He is doing this for me!\' She clenched her hands, feeling happy that the man she loved favored her so much. \'Lothur, I will give you anything you want. I will reward you later!\' Elke clenched her fists, determined to give him something he had been asking for recently...
...
A few hours later...
At this instant, a carriage was standing at the side of one of the streets near the Frost estate.
There, a middle-aged man with a black goatee and balding was watching that place while having his fists clenched.
"Master Magnus, that is the estate of the Frost family, the noble house to which this Lothur fellow belongs." The coachman of that carriage said in a low voice.
"But this fellow here is only a son-in-law, not an actual member of that family..."
After hearing this, Harry\'s master\'s eyes narrowed as he thought about what he might do. \'That person certainly knows something. Perhaps he is even involved...\'
This man already knew that Lothur was only a mortal and that his companion on the previous trip was only a young 2nd Transformation girl who had recently advanced to the 3rd. So, neither of them could have done anything directly.
But that did not prevent people were protecting them from the shadows!
Hence his thoughts about the involvement of those two in the disappearance of his disciple.
\'But I can\'t act carelessly with someone from the Frost family, even if he is only a son-in-law!\' He sensed the difficulty of the matter and sighed. \'But as long as I don\'t overdo it, I can approach him and at least get some answers from him.\'
He then said to his coachman. \'Let\'s stick around here. I want to see when this fellow will leave this place alone. Then, at that opportunity, I will act."
"OK!" The coachman replied and soon began to take care of that carriage so that no one would suspect them of being there with bad intentions.
...
While that person was anxiously waiting for any movement from Lothur, this young man had just finished one of his training sessions and saw his status.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]

[EVF: 41.2]
After seeing this, he wiped the sweat on his face and ran from that common area he had trained in to return to his room.
Now he would take a hot bath and rest while he studied the medical books he had recently received. He would not go to the Becker estate until later, so he was not in such a hurry today.
Unlike the last two days, he had not had any commitments after his afternoon training with Elke, so he had more time today to train and study a bit.
So, he quickly made his way to his room, already taking off his clothes before closing the door.
But before he could finish running his sweaty shirt down his neck, Lothur saw someone stop the door to his room before it closed.
"Oh?" He looked at the floor and saw a female foot in a crystal shoe.
"Lothur, I will not let you leave today without having dinner with me." Viktoria walked in there with a determined expression on her face.
