Dark Assassin Chronicles - Chapter 2 Where Is Tommy?

“So who do you think will perform the best in today’s tests?” one of the VIPs present asked several others around him. Just like some other influential figures within the city including some military commanders, noble clan leaders, and even merchants, this man who made his living as a contractor was present to watch the results.

During the tests with the upperclassmen of the academy, influential figures would attend or send over representatives in order to recruit some of the students. Usually even if the students who were under the five great clans of the city took the top positions, there were still formidable commoners who attended the academy who would be recruited into numerous factions.

“Well, you have those three who hail from the five great clans in the city, but there are some commoners who have a bit of potential. I just hope that I could see that womanizer from the Sacred Flames clan I hear, that although his cultivation is lacking significantly, that even some older women want to seduce him.” a representative of the Flying Spear clan responded to the man who asked.

In the city, the five great clans on the surface were extremely civil when dealing with one another, but there were two groups and the Flying Spear clan would usually come into conflict with the Sacred Flames clan regularly.

Knowing that the Sacred Flames clan had a student who was completely useless when it came to cultivation, the representative used this to his advantage to speak poorly of the Sacred Flames clan.

“However, I also hear that the young miss from the Waterfall clan will be putting on quite a show for all of us. I just wish that one of our clansmen of the same generation could keep up with such a monster.” a representative from the city guard told the group of individuals.

This city guard was one of the top cultivators who represented the city guards, but he was from a commoner clan, and thus, he understood that praising a student from the five great clans of the city would benefit him, especially when the Waterfall clan was the only clan of the five great clans who remained completely independent from the internal struggles of the other four.

“That is strange, it seems like that student from the Sacred Flames clan is absent?” a merchant cried out as those who were discussing the testing among themselves took a look at the training field.

“I will say it one last time, Tommy of the Sacred Flames clan, please come forward to conduct this test!” one of the instructors called out in an enraged tone. There would almost never be any students who would ditch taking an important test like this in front of many of the city’s top representatives!

Many of the students and the onlookers were all stunned that a student would be ignorant enough to miss this test, until many of the others understood what was happening and filled in the blanks for the rest.

“That youngster always decides to never take these tests even after his clan spent a lot of money and resources to try and bribe their way to allowing him to progress in the academy!” another representative said as he broke his wine glass.

“Is the Sacred Flames clan truly willing to waste all of our time in such a way? Who do they think we are, some ants with no real power behind us?” and just like this, it seemed as if the Sacred Flames had now made many enemies thanks to this individual referred to as Tommy.
