Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 38: Announcement I

Next day early morning, after taking care of all the house related matters Kyle decided to leave for the Academy with Nine. Because if he wanted to enter the Tower of Opportunity the best way for him was to enter through the Academy.

And because Baron Ohan's condition was not good enough to take care of everything in Kyle's absence due to the sudden shock, Kyle gave the authority to make decisions and take care of all the other house related matters to the butler who has been serving the house for the last 25 years.

He wasn't worried about the butler doing anything bad behind his back as the butler was among the loyal subordinates the Baron relied on a lot.

After dividing the money there wasn't much left, that's why Kyle only took enough to make it back to the Academy.

Recently while practicing the sword art at the Academy, he found out that he needed a better weapon for himself to execute the Art more perfectly. That's why except for money the second thing he took from the house was the only (D)-Rank sword available inside the manor weaponry because the sword Kyle was currently using wasn't ranked.

Similar to humans, weapons were also divided into two different categories;

Ranked and Unranked.

The Unranked weapons were not as powerful as the Ranked weapons because they were made of normal materials. On the other hand, Ranked weapons were more sturdy and durable due to the huge amount of time and resources spent on their construction.

That's why the higher the rank of the weapon the more powerful it was.

Before leaving Kyle once again assured his father that he would return with the Elixir of life. The only thing Baron Ohan needed to do was to wait for him and not lose hope.

Baron Ohan was reluctant at first but when he heard that instead of the 'Dark Forest' Kyle would be entering the 'Tower of Opportunity' to find the Elixir he agreed, because the Tower wasn't as dangerous as the Dark Forest where dying was normal.

Afterward, Kyle went to check on his brothers one last time, their condition wasn't much better than before.

Rather than better, their condition seemed to have become worse as the black lines spreading on their bodies became more vivid.

The other two patients who got injured with his brothers during the monster attack were also being taken care of by the healers.

Kyle didn't know where they were from because they were just some adventurers who decided to provide assistance during the monster attack.

Even after asking around for a while Kyle wasn't able to locate their families, that's why he asked the healers to take care of them as well until someone from their families came looking for them.

Kyle sat beside his brothers for a while with a warm expression and started talking about his experience inside the Academy.

He knew they wouldn't be able to hear him because they were in a coma, but he just wanted to tell them that their small brother who always got beaten up by them due to his lazy nature had grown up.

Afterward, together with Nine, Kyle left the manor.

Standing in front of the house Kyle once again turned around and looked at huge gates, countless memories of the past flashed through his mind making him feel somewhat nostalgic.

It's only been more than a month since he left for the Academy, who would have imagined that things would turn out like this?

Kyle gazed at the manor garden which was in the middle of construction once more before leaving with Nine.

While traveling they saw that just in a few days almost all the surrounding buildings were completely constructed. Also, the atmosphere around the city was not so gloomy anymore.

Everyone was busy in their lives again, forgetting the tragic incident that happened just a few days ago. But those who lost their loved ones will always remember the pain they felt.

Nine who was always beside Kyle during their travel noticed some minor changes in Kyle's appearance.

First, the corners of Kyle's black hair which were slightly silver before were now more noticeable and brighter, and there was also a tint of emerald color in the center of Kyle's black eyes.

At first, Nine didn't notice these changes

because they were too small, but when he was conversing with Kyle or standing near him he couldn't help but notice them.

But knowing how it was impossible to change someone's natural eye color Nine shook his head and stopped overthinking.

.....

It took Nine and Kyle not more than six hours to reach the Academy because both of them didn't stop anywhere to rest.

Also, they wanted to hurry up and reach the Academy to learn more about the upcoming opening of the Tower of Opportunity.

And just like they expected the moment they arrived at the Academy everyone inside the Academy was talking about the Tower.

First, they went to the mission hall to summit the mission items, only to get a disdainful look from the young man sitting behind the reception.

Seeing the disdainful gaze of the young man who didn't even bother to reply to them, Kyle was unfazed as he was used to it.

But Nine felt like crying because it was the first time someone was looking down at him. He was born with a lot of talent and always worked hard that's why he was not used to such treatment.

Afterward, both of them started following the first-year student who told them that Vice Principal George was going to announce something, and because of that all the first and second-year students were required to gather at the center of the Academy.

It took them ten minutes to reach the center of the Academy.

The center of the Academy was a large empty ground surrounded by buildings, a small platform was set up at the edge of the ground.

In front of the platform, all the first and second-year students were gathered making a small crowd of almost four hundred people.

Everyone was talking about the sudden announcement and also eagerly waiting for the Vice Principal's arrival, because almost all the people present guessed the reason behind the sudden announcement.

It was because some of the students studying inside the Academy were Royals. Their families would have definitely told them about the Tower even before they entered the Academy.
