The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

66 Stronger bond

‘What the hell! Not only did they send someone to investigate incredibly fast, but they even sent two Level 7 Wave Warriors.’ Cain’s eyes widened, and his emotion went into turmoil. He knew the Kilor Family would investigate Nira and her brother’s demise but did not expect them to be so fast.

“Focus!”

Apex’s voice echoed inside Cain’s mind, and immediately all signs of distress on his face vanished. The worst thing he could do right now was to act suspicious, as that would focus the investigation on him.

Even if there was no concrete evidence, if the Kilor Family grew too suspicious, there was no way they would not act in the darkness to find out the truth.

Cain believed in himself, but he was not so arrogant as to think he could face two Level 7 Wave Warriors with his current power. The best path forward was taking things one step at a time and not rushing things.

Although Cain managed to hide his shock from almost everybody else in the auditorium, two people saw everything.

A meaningful light appeared in Levi’s eyes as he stared at Cain and began to speak with this one through his A.I. Chip.

“My mother used to read me fairy tales when I was little. I still remember one about a righteous king and a tyrant. They did not like each other, but there was a pact of non-aggression between them and their forces.”

Cain was confused by Levi’s words but did not interrupt and let this one carry on with his tale.

.....

“One day, a knight from the righteous king went to explore a mine, and a servant from the tyrant ambushed him. The knight was brilliant and managed to kill his enemy, but things did not end there. Even if the knight acted in self-defense and did not break the pact of non-aggression, the tyrant would not accept that.”

Cain’s eyes narrowed, and he figured out the hidden message between those words. The righteous king was no other than the Imperial Military Force, and the tyrant was the Kilor Family.

“The righteous king was known for protecting his people, and as long the knight proved innocent, he would not hand him over. Unfortunately, the tyrant was an excellent liar, and even if that did not work, this one was famous for getting rid of annoyances in the dark.

I don’t remember very well how the story carries on. Do you think the knight was smart enough to erase any sign of his presence?”

Levi stared at Cain for a moment, and both nodded as they reached a silent agreement.

“Of course, the knight did it. He ensured the servant could not communicate with the outside and handled the corpse so no one could find a trace of his presence.”

The duo smiled after that, and none of them carried on. Cain already said plenty; anything else would not benefit any of them.

Nevertheless, as they were about to change the subject, Beelze sent an invitation to the duo so they could talk through their A.I. Chips.

Cain and Levi looked at Beelze’s calm expression and accepted her invitation. Both expected many things, but the woman took them by surprise.

“Are you guys talking about Cain’s involvement in the disappearance of that trash name Nira?”

Cain frowned as he heard that message. Unlike Levi, Beelze’s words were too direct, and no matter his answer, they could put him in trouble.

Beelze was not bothered by Cain’s irritation and carried on as if nothing significant had happened.

“If the enemy is one of the Level 7 Wave Warriors, you can count me out as I will not help you.”

Cain did not say a word and just nodded. Although he showed nothing on the outside, his attitude toward the woman took a sharp turn. Or at least, that was until he heard what Beelze said next.

“However, if the one coming at you is a Wave Champion, I would not mind giving you a hand.”

Cain and Levi were confused and surprised by Beelze’s words. She had just told them to forget about her if they encountered a Wave Warrior but that they could ask for her help if the enemy was a Wave Champion.

“Don’t you have things backward?” Levi could not help but ask the woman.

“Hmph, you are talented Astral Wave Warriors with powerful Lineages, fully equipped with Wave Artifacts, and under the protection of the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy. If, with all that, you can not handle a couple of Wave Warriors, then you are trash, and I am not friends with those. However, if an old geezer wants to use their age against you two, I will not mind showing them the might of my background.” Beelze spoke with a righteous aura, and her dignified expression made it seem like she wanted to show might.

Cain and Levi almost laughed as they saw all that, but neither of them did, as Beelze’s cold gaze terrified them. In the end, the duo just nodded before smiling.

Although Beelze’s mentality was a little odd, neither Cain nor Levi found no problem with it. Time was precious, and thinking of forming friendships only with those that could accompany you on your journey was not wrong.

That conversation between the trio was short but strengthened their bond.

None of them spoke again a few minutes later as Wink entered the auditorium, and they were not the only ones to become quiet as none of the cadets dared to disturb the Wave Champion’s class.

“Today, we will concentrate on Wave Focus. You will form couples. One will use the art for offense, while the other will use it for defense. We will take a break every hour, and then you will exchange roles.”

The cadets did not waste time and began to form teams. Cain and Levi were together, and Beelze coupled with another female cadet.

By the time the first hour went by, all the cadets were exhausted, and there was still a lot of class left.
