Extra's Path To Demon King-Chapter 152: The Principle [1]

Axel stated, "Taser, Luther, Ken, or someone unknown, who I might not know, from the other great or minor kingdoms, likely."

"The words Taser said might not be entirely false, but it is highly unlikely for him to be the main person behind this, the same goes for prince Luther, he had come to me with the offer of swearing my loyalty to him, and when I obviously rejected that offer boldly, he left with the warning that I would receive some big news the next day, and this happened."

"When did he come to you? What happened? Tell me the details," asked Heinz, somewhat shocked.

Axel nodded and proceeded to explain the conversation that transpired with the first prince without hiding anything, "Damn, you really have balls of steel, that you can treat the most likely next king in such an audacious manner." exclaimed Heinz unable to even fully express his apprehension for his friends reckless actions.

Axel chuckled and said, "Trust me, he’s nothing compared to Lucien, and no matter how much the king loves his children of the concubine, strength matters most in this world, even if the king does put Luther in the throne, Lucien would simply kill him and take the throne, nothing more and nothing less."

"Not that I have any intention of bootlicking Lucien just because he would be the likely next king, I couldn’t care less," added Axel uncaringly.

"So, the most likely suspect is?" questioned Heinz.

Axel stated hatefully, "Ken Dusker, he is the person likely to have gathered all of these individuals and ticked them off about me, and this was quite clear with my conversation from Luther, someone had suggested him that he needed to get me on his side, Lucien already had powerful allies with him not to mention his own strength despite his potential as a whole being lower, than what people expected of him."

"While there is another possibility that the students from the other kingdoms banded together to try and lessen my influence since there were already too many talents popping up for the Suncrest great kingdom, but if that happened, Luther would not have been at the forefront of this."

"And the only one who hates me badly enough to go this far, manipulating things from the background could only ever be KEN DUSKER, that fucking son of a bitch." added Axel in deep and malevolent hatred.

"But his objective could also be to simply hamper my sales of the runic weapons after all, I was making tremendous amounts of profits while selling them," he added, unsure.

Heinz opened his mouth wanting to ask the story behind it, but remembered how Axel had said he wasn’t ready to talk about it, and that he would one day reveal it on his own. So, he closed his mouth and nodded towards Axel.

Axel also noticed how his friend wanted to ask about it, but he sighed, it... It wasn’t the time; he wasn’t ready to talk about it.

"So, what would you do?" Heinz eventually asked.

Axel shook his head, "For now, there is no opportunity, not to mention Lucien himself would be furious if I really did something to his cousin. I need to be at least somewhat sure that it was indeed him, and there needs to be a proper opportunity." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

The next day in morning, he was cooking breakfast for the morning for himself and Heinz. The guy barged into his room in the morning. Well, they could go to the cafeteria, but for the day, neither of them felt like going, so Axel was making a simple dinner.

He had a smile on his face, which somehow reminded him of his old times, well, 2 old times to be precise. He used to cook for his little brother Akon in the trial. It also saddened him thinking about Akon, but there was another memory.

He could also cook back on earth, his uncle and aunt would often go on business trips, taking his cousins as well, so he had learned to cook alone, not only that, he would often cook for Sophia. She would often hesitantly praise his cooking; it was just that good. That brought a smile to his face.

But as he was cooking, someone knocked on the door of his apartment. he raised an eyebrow as to who it was. Heinz was already going to check it. After a while, Heinz came back and said, "Go for a moment, they’re here for you?"

"Who is?" asked Axel in confusion. "Academy staff," answered Heinz.

Axel frowned but nodded. he washed his hands, told Heinz to look after the cooking dishes, then went towards the door. For a moment, he was surprised; it was the same nurse who was in charge of his pod while going into the trial. She looked at him intently. There were a few other male staff members along with her.

The moment he appeared in her vision, she looked at his deep eyes very intently. Axel asked with a smile, "Hello, Miss Nurse, how are you?"

But she did not answer as if lost... in the deep and breathtaking ocean like eyes of his, Axel tilted his head in confusion, she eventually said, "You’re eyes have become even more beautiful."

"Eh? What?" Axel was utterly dumbfounded by that statement. What does that supposed to mean? He said in embarrassment, "Well, thanks, I guess."

The other male staff members with the nurse coughed slightly, as she came back to her senses, she instantly became embarrassed herself realizing what she had done, she took a deep breath calming herself, she stated after a while, "You see Seeker Axel, the reason why I am here, is because the principal asked to meet with you."

He raised an eyebrow at that statement. From what he knew, the principal should not be in the academy yet. Did he come back? No, that’s unlikely, probably just an avatar of his. He asked, "Can I know the reason?"

The nurse shook her head, "It is related to the recent incident, as for the details, I do not know."

Axel nodded, "Well, I’m having breakfast at the moment, so do I have to go now or??"

She said with a smile, "It’s ok, you can come after having your breakfast, but please don’t take too long, it would look bad for you otherwise, because from what I know, the principal doesn’t like those who are not punctual. I hope you understand."

Axel smiled, "Of course, I will be there in 10-15 minutes at most."

After that, she bid him farewell and left. He closed the door and went back to the kitchen. He hurriedly started to finish the cooking, and it was almost close to finishing already. Heinz looked at Axel with a meaningful smile. He frowned, "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Heinz said in a mocking tone, "Such beautiful eyes, she was already in the bag, go and hook up with her, I won’t tell Lumina, I promise."

Axel glared at him, but did not say anything. The curry was finished, he hurriedly served it, and started eating. Heinz then asked, "So, is the principal calling to punish you or something??"

Axel said while eating, "Likely not, though I would likely be warned, the thought process of the Seekers, as powerful as the principal, cannot be predicted by small fries like us, their playground is on a whole other level, trust me."
