Blood Evolution System-Chapter 236: Back to the Academy!
Vincent was feeling guilty for multiple reasons.
One of the things he chose was a sword that could terraform planets and make them inhabitable for humans and demi-humans!
The other was a spatial storage ring with many treasures inside of it.
Both of them were items that could change the fate of an entire low-level race!
Low-level races are those people who haven't become multi-planetary.
"You have a good eye for treasures." Melody squinted her eyes and praised Vincent.
She knew that it was Mr. Joker, alias Emperor of the night, who left these items here. Since the previous owner himself was a legend, these items are bound to be extraordinary. She didn't know how good they were, but she considered them equal to the pieces of equipment belonging to her master.
Vincent placed the two things in his inventory, happy that she didn't raise any objection and glad that he got to keep these two things that will be partially responsible for shaping his future.
Vincent regrouped his teammates. He was standing beside Leilani. King Wrath and the others were standing together. They all knew that this was the end and that it was time to return to the academy. Melody was hovering near them, and seeing the look on their faces, she realized what they were thinking.
"You still have tens of thousands of monster-slaying points left; remember to use them up before leaving," Melody advised.
They didn't forget about that. Vincent had already considered what to do with his points. He wanted to buy pill recipes that would help him become more robust in the shortest amount of time as he had already decided upon learning alchemy as soon as he returned to the academy. He also told King Wrath and Leilani that he would pick up things related to the profession they wanted to master in the future.
"Which profession do you like?" He asked them.
"I think becoming a Magic chef is the best for me. It's profitable, and after I learn it, I will become ours, personal magic chef. In the future, you can leave purifying evolution material and prepare nourishing meals for me." Leilani said.
Hearing her words, Vincent saw a future where he would get back home and his wife, Leilani, would welcome him. And then they would eat the food she prepared together.
Cough!
"Get me as many ancient inscription patterns as you can with the little amount of points I have."
King Wrath was a magic scroll maker, it seemed.
Vincent strolled around the library and picked up a few things. He spent all his points getting the highest-grade Energy Channel Opening Pill and Channels connecting Pill recipes. The first one would allow him to open his channels fastly and the other would let him connect them to create a circuit. And once he does that, he will become an advanced-stage combatant.
They were all missing the academy. They couldn't wait to return. The great adventure in this place has finally come to an end. This thought popped up in their mind as Melody let them to the teleportation device.
"Where would you guys like to go? The Academy or the spider kingdom?" Melody asked.
Vincent and the others knew that they had offended the spider kingdom and that its citizens were looking for them, so going to that place was not a good idea, not that they wanted to go there.
"Please open a portal to the spider kingdom."
"Alright," Melody said.
She pressed some buttons, and a portal leading to a place somewhat close to the academy opened up. It was an empty, dark alley—a place with no CCTV or surveillance devices at all. No one would know that they used a portal to appear here. They wouldn't get questioned as to where they went and why they used the portal. It will be saving them a lot of problems.
"Vincent, you stay here." As everyone started entering the portal, Melody called Vincent to come to her. "I need to say some things to you in private."
"What do you want to tell me?"
After everyone left, Melody said, "My lady wanted me to tell you that although you have the mark of a resistor on you, you're still not an official member of the resistance. To become one, you need to track down an official member, show him your mark, and make him take you to the testing ground where the resistance holds an entrance examination to accept new members. If you pass it, they will take you in. I don't think you'll fail, but still, you deserve to know that if you fail, those ruthless guys will wipe out everything related to them from your memories."
Melody's eyes turned a bit chilly, and her expression frosty.
"Interact with them at your own risk."
She warned Vincent in such a serious voice that he believed her words.
"Thanks for your kind advice, but I will be tackling them head-on," Vincent said.
No matter how risky it was, he needed to get into the resistance. A secret organization like that was something he needed to understand, know more about, and use to become string and gather allies. It wasn't something he should turn away from, no matter how dangerous. Walking a mountain of swords and charging into a sea of fire would only harden his will and train him so much that he would be able to react to untold dangers more suitably.
"Good," she knew from the very start that her warning would not deter him and was satisfied that his response matched what she thought about him. "now go."
"Goodbye, and take care."
Vincent wasn't a friend or family to Melody. Although she lost the last bit of her master, there was nothing he could do to cheer her up. After waving his hands at her and advising her to live her life and enjoy its wonder, he took the portal and appeared in the dark alley where the others were waiting for him.
Left behind was Melody, who sighed and said that she couldn't leave this place as her master tasked her with protecting the communication and spatial warp opening server that the emperor of night left behind.
"What did you talk about with her, eh?" Nevis asked, not respecting Vincent's privacy at all.
"It's something personal," Vincent said, signaling him not to ask about it.
Nevis effectively shut his mouth.
