BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 - Senior Professor White
David observed his surrounding, and he noticed that he wasn\'t the only one to have recovered. Nihyuh also recovered just a second after him.
His eyebrows furrowed. Several students also seem to have recovered from the stunning noise and they told used the opportunity to estimate the strength of other students.
Across from the crowd, from a distance, a blond youth suddenly held gazes with him and in a split second, coldness flashed in his eyes but his outwardly smiled and waved towards David as though they were friends, then he glanced at Nihyuh and retracted his gaze.
Dav only responded with an indifferent glance, when the figure had looked at him earlier, he felt as though he had been locked onto by a cold and sinister viper snake. But David didn\'t even have to do anything and the feeling died down itself. His Formless Heat wouldn\'t allow any foreign energy in them and only seek to destroy or devour.
As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching Tigers in the Institute. David then heard a chuckle by his side,it had been Nihyuh.
"That guy is interesting." he licked his lips as excitement shone in his eyes. As he looked towards that blond guys direction.
The old man, professor Jeremy, smiled as he nodded his head in approval. There were a lot more people who recovered in less that 3 second than he had expected. He could finally put his mind to peace, they were obviously stronger than they seem.
"You may enter the hall." the oldman who was currently standing said. The students at the forefront. Those who had publicly shown themselves moved first as they entered into the hall.
Soon after that, the remaining students rushed in like a wild flood. When that had been settled, the old man lamented.
"This Old building had been personally built by the founder\'s very own hands when the Institute had first been created." sighing, he continued.
"This building indicates our survival through all hardships and never to forget the pain and sacrificies we had to pass through to get to where we are today."
He gazed at the students as though they were his children.
"It\'s been a few weeks since you all had been admitted to this very institute, and i must say, we are both happy and proud to have you join us." he smiled gently.
"You must have experienced quite the hardship and pain being in the Institute, i get it, i feel your pain and also your sorrow. But you must preserve and stand strong. If you willed your mind to it, you can arhieve anything." The old man\'s tone grew strong as he continued.
Most of the students glanced at each other blankly, what pain? What sorrow? What is with this situation?
David blinked as he also didn\'t know what was going on, was the old man sympathising with them? They obviously don\'t need it.
As the old man was about to continue, the white-haired man coughed lightly "Get on with it."
Clearing his throat in embarrassment the old man continued "Ahem! The institute has decided to open a one week Survival And Hunting Event that every new students must participate in. It is a competition and a test to observe and notice those with hidden talents and potential we might have missed.
Now, the main theme of this event is killing!" the students were obviously stunned as this was the first time they heard of such things.
"The Evolved Beasts in the location of the Event are numerous and quite wild. You should be very careful when dealing with tthem and a single mistake made might possibly be the last one you would ever make. So do be careful." the old man said with a serious expression.
Even though the previous students had gone through the process, the Institute had insisted they signed a non disclosure agreement, forbidden from ever speaking to it to any new students.
It has been decided that the students would leave when they least expected it. And the less prepared the students are, the better it would be. Although it sounds unfair, when in a real battle, you will be unable to speak out the word unfair after you are dead. This was the message the higher ups, were trying to pass across.
Not waiting for the students to digest the information, he voice sounded out once more " Now, the higher the numbers if REBs killed the better. And if your are lucky enough to get first place in this Event, there would be a very enticing rewards in store. The reward system has been sent over to your computer, check them out while you can.
The Event will be starting innnnnn…" checking his watch, he raised his head and stated "15 minutes."
What!?
The students instantly shouted as a clamour overcame the surroundings. The noise was deafening. It was simply too outrageous. Even if they wanted to open an event for the students, they should have been informed wah earlier at least to get ready.
Even with the loud noise from the crowds of students, the old man\'s voice sounded more prominent. "No need to panic, we have everything you would need over there, including your daily basic necessities, every thing has been dealth with.
The students instantly quietened down. They had no choice, their ears had almost been wounded by the old man\'s loud voice. He had used the wierd ability again.
"Instructions has been sent over to everyone\'s imprint. Check your inboxes and you would see them. Read the instructions very carefully and observe everyone of them. Although, the Event rarely contains any Brown Grade beasts, the Black Grade Evolved beast aren\'t that easy to deal with." he warned.
"Now, i will give you the basic overview of situation you will have to face when you get dropped off to the location the event will take place.
Then for the next ten minutes, he went ahead to explain the rules of the match. He repeatedly warned as he instructed them to be more careful.
David listened very intently as the oldman continues speaking. He had been very surprised and obviously stunned when he heard all of it.
It was news to him that the Institute would release them to kill off Evolved Beast but him, wasn\'t it just too early for them. He wasn\'t the only one thinking like this too.
There were several other students on the same page as him. But there was obviously nothing they could do to change the situation.
All of a sudden, the White haired man spoke up "It is time to depart. Oh, just in case, I will be selecting anyone who places first in the Event as a personal intern, so do your best." the crowds suddenly boiled over in excitement as whispers sounded out.
"Isn\'t that Senior Professor White?"
"A senior professor suddenly deciding to chose a personal intern during event?"
"I must get become his personal intern at all cost."
"With that meager power of yours, do yo think you would have any chance at it?" someone snorted.
"I will certainly try my luck." the person huffed.
While some elders cursed in their minds. Things would get pretty difficult this time.
As the elders had already secretly informed some of the youths they had favoured or those that were of the same family as them about the news and already started to plan on taking advantage of the situation and those ignorant students to group up with their representatives
But now that the announcement had been made public to the crowds of youths, making use of the ignorant would be quite hard and getting first place wouldn\'t be as easy more.
"Eh? Isn\'t that the oldman back at the Energy Room."
David\'s eyebrow rose. He evidently recognized the white haired man who had spoke up and was currently standing on the platform.
Then he snorted as he glanced disdainfully at the old man. "See him acting like a bigshot. Personal Intern my foot." he snickered.
The white haired man suddenly frowned and he looked over at his direction.
David was taken aback at first when he saw the white haired man looked towards him but he naturally composed himself and he rolled his eyes at him.
The white haired man was a little surprised upon seeing who it was. Then having thought of something, he suddenly smiled and nodded subtly towards David\'s direction.
The smile barely visible, and the nod was short and almost imperceptible to notice, but those with sharp minds perceived it. And David also saw through it.
His expression turned ugly as he discerned several vision landed on his figure, giving him goosebumps. He shivered as he angrily gazed at the petty, old and shameless white haired old man.
"You personally know professor White?" Nihyuh questioned, noticeably very surprised.
"Who? The old man? We have only just met once and he almost tricked me." David huffed.
Nihyuh frowned. He didn\'t know what to say so he changed the subject. "You are quite deep in trouble this time." refering to the malicious glances that had turned David\'s way.
David\'s eyes flashed with a cold light "They are only flirting with disaster if they think i am that easy to deal with.." and his gaze hardened.
