CHAPTER 43: REGISTRATION (1)

Caden stared blankly at the screen before facing the middle-aged woman sent to welcome him.

He gulped, swallowing his saliva.

Another notification popped up seconds later.

[You’ve received a medium task]

[Uncover the mysteries of the Reds in Valor Royal Academy]

[Task Duration: 30 days]

[Task Reward: ???]

[Task Penalty: ???]

"So there really are spies hidden in Valor Royal Academy" Caden mumbled with a smile.

Although he quickly regained his composure, but Alyssa had noticed the shock in his eyes.

This time, she was secretly glaring at the middle-aged woman. Despite her gently and loving smiles.

Alyssa knew something was up. Especially because of Caden’s reaction, he has the primordial system after all.

"Welcome to the Valor Royal Academy, successor Caden Ryder" the voice of the woman was heard. Caden breathed in deeply, his lips curled faintly.

"And you must be the one sent to welcome me right?" Caden asked. She nodded, still smiling "That happens to be correct"

"My name is Stephanie Culdred, as you can see.....I’m a private worker owned by the Valor Royal Academy"

"My duty here is to lead you" She explained, Caden nodded "My guardian will bring out my luggages, where will be heading to next?" Caden asked.

Stephanie exhaled softly "Successor Caden, you’re a vip student, so there will be many privileges you’ll be given access to"

"Why don’t I show you a few places first before we head to the main registration hall?" She asked.

Alyssa as Caden’s guardian interjected "There will be no need for that, I believe young master Caden is knowledgeable enough"

"The registration hall is the first place every successor must be to confirm their admission into the academy"

"Vip student or not.....that shouldn’t be important" Alyssa spoke. Caden could hear Stephanie’s scoff.

His grin broadened but he stayed silent, ’I knew the Red Continent had implanted spies inside the Valor Royal Academy’

’But to think I’ll be meeting one.....I should start with her then figure out where the rest hid’ Caden concluded in his mind.

Seeing Caden’s first reaction. Alyssa knew something was up with Stephanie so she decided to intervene.

And right now, just like every other successor who have received enrollment letters into the Valor Royal Academy.

He was heading to the registration hall.

The academic system is completely different from the outside world system.

In the royal academies. All rankings are merged into one, a number.

The lower one’s digits were. The stronger they truly are in the royal academies.

The number system deals with all aspects, innate skills, mana techniques, sword level cultivation or mana convergence stage.

And their intellect as well.

Everything are evaluated to give out the rankings of numbers. The current first years were more than four thousand in numbers.

And they were all taken to the registration hall. A grand hall nearly the size of the hall which the Emerald Awakening Ceremony took place in.

It was more than enough for over four thousand freshmen to be gathered. While many were entering.

A few had already arrived earlier and they could be seen conversing. More people kept trooping into the hall.

They all had their guardians standing close to them.

And it was time for Caden to enter.

His movements came to a halt when he slightly tilted his head, he glanced at Stephanie who bowed her head respectfully "Successor Caden....." She spoke.

"Since only students and their guardians are meant to be present. It’s forbidden for workers like me to enter the registration hall so I’ll be taking my leave now"

"If you need anything from me..... don’t forget to ask me" She winked as she turned to leave.

Clenching his fist, Caden’s eyebrows furrowed "Those bastards, they’re watching me" He growled.

Muttering to himself but Alyssa overheard him "Is she a Red?" Alyssa whispered, Caden nodded.

"Keep an eye on her, she’s a spy...and I’ll be targeting her soon, for now.....let’s stay quiet" He whispered back.

Both successor and his guardian stepped into the registration hall. Not many recognized Caden Ryder.

For he wasn’t the same back when he awakened his S-Ranked Innate Skill and became the top winner.

Caden’s presence caused students to whisper amongst themselves. Many of the girls present all had their eyes fixed on him.

After all, Caden was handsome even before his evolution. And after his evolution, he became more handsome.

Having hot physique and charisma in addition. It would even be a suprise if they didn’t fall for him.

"There are quite the beauties, don’t you think? Master" Alyssa asked but Caden scoffed.

"Sure there are, but beauties aren’t what is on my mind. What I want is to grow stronger, far stronger"

"Strong enough to crush the Reds who will be invading soon" Caden’s eyes flickered, Alyssa could see the determination in his eyes.

"I’m sorry to ask.....but I’ve seen this determination in your eyes since I was summoned"

"I know the Reds have infiltrated the Purple Continent but I’ve not seen any signs of the invasion you keep talking about"

"You speak like you’ve seen the future. Perhaps is it something that has to do with my skill you borrowed?" She asked.

Caden shook his head, he smiled faintly "Your S-Ranked Skill: Future Sight only grants me the ability to see ten seconds into the future"

"I would need a skill that could make me see thirty years into the future, that will be an ultimate skill" Caden explained.

"Then how do you know that there will be sudden Invasion?" Alyssa asked.

But Caden remained quiet, "This is not a question I can answer Alyssa. Everyone has their secrets"

This time, they have gotten close to the gathering of students. All of them were successors from the fifty thousand kingdoms.

Aside him, he could see forty other successors from supreme kingdoms.

And that included the quadruplets who stayed together. Upon hearing the rumors, they glanced at Caden.

Instantly recognizing him.

Since Caden stayed with them even after his evolution. They had already confirmed his identity.

Each student present were assigned one guardian. This made everyone present in the registration hall were more than eight thousand.

Just like how active Alyssa is to defend her master. Every guardian were also prepared for anything.

But unlike Alyssa who’s currently a Sword Level, Sword Grandmaster.

Every guardian present were all Sword Level, Sword Elites.

If Alyssa wanted. She could slaughter all of them, but she hid her sword cultivation level for a few reasons.

**

Once all the enrolled first year students were gathered in the registration hall. It was time to begin.

Time for all students to receive their numbers.
