False Hero - Chapter 169

“I need your help professor, need your help to understand this power. I am in rush but I still need to understand this power.”

I said as a ball of radiant white energy levitated on my hand. That radiant white ball of energy was divine energy.

Win turned around to look at the ball of energy with curiosity but that was it there was no other reaction to his face. But on the other hand—-

Professor Blake was shocked beyond his core. It was very much apparent by his facial expression. During the first few seconds, his facial expression was blank before gasping, and then his lips formed an awkward yet shaky smile.

“Is —– is that —- it— it came out of your body right? but—- how? How can it be? Lisa was —– she —”

His sentence was broken and there were many things he wanted to say, but he couldn’t say a single thing.

“This divine energy comes from my own body rather than borrowing it from some artifact like church people.”

I said as I closed my fist, taking the divine energy back into my body.

“But —- how?” asked the professor. Win was already gone from the graveyard and it makes it convenient for me since there is information that I can’t just disclose to others.

“I can’t tell you the whole detail but this divine energy is because of my connection to a godess, apparently it was always in me but just recently I discovered one way to use it but it takes a toll on my body.”

Professor took a seat on the ground as he sat there for a minute, maybe he was thinking about something. After a minute he opened his mouth again “Lisa —– if only you were here—- you would have jumped in joy and —— and —- and you would have kidnapped this kid or even have adopted him. If only you were here to see this.”

What is this man talking about?

He pointed his finger towards me as he said in a loud but excited tone “You!!! Grey Hoffmann!!! I wish I could have met you a year earlier but now we can’t change the past but now I will help and by helping you ——– BY HELPING YOU, I WILL HELP MYSELF AND WE WILL FUCKING FIND THE BEST TO USE YOUR POWER AND CURE MY WOMAN’S SISTER!!!!”

This is the first time I hear him curse and I never heard him talk so loud is he —— “Are you drunk?”

“No!!! I am just happy”

“Ah, that’s understandable.”

“And I have some regrets!”

“That’s understandable too.”

After talking for a while, Professor walked away from the grave. Before going away, he looked at his wife’s grave and said goodbye. He even said sorry to her grave for going away early since he had some book to read, he wanted to research more since he found a real person that has divine energy.

I was alone left at the grave, I looked at her grave as I spoke “He is pretty loyal to you and well, he is also mental.”

I looked at the grave a second before sighing as I said “I want to visit more graves that I haven’t visited yet. To be honest, I have never visited the grave of people I have lost, I was never able to bring myself to visit the graves of my people. I have never visited the grave of my mom, she would be very angry at me. Ah… I am a coward.”

I teleported away back to the academy. Not inside my room since I have decided to eat morning breakfast from the canteen.

As I entered the canteen. There were very few people in the canteen and among those people, only two people were seated at a separate table as they were eating their food.

Towards the counter, there was Ulrich and that girl he was talking the other day with. The girl is of short size and has medium-sized brown hair.

Peaking out other hair are a set of brown ears, she also has a bushy tail.

She is of small size because the fennec race doesn’t really have that much height. But compared to the people of other fennec races, she is most probably tall.

{Author: Fennec is a race of people that are known for their short height, average male height being five feet and average female height being 4.6 feet. For the most part, they look like a normal human, except for long fox ears and bushy tails.}

I have seen Ulrich talking this couple of times and for some reason even though I have never heard them talking, I always get the feeling that they are talking about cooking or something related to that.

I approached them as they were standing near the counter and I wanted to order my food, another wise I would have left them alone.

I took a step ahead and then decided that —-

You know what let’s not disturb them since they look like they are having a wonderful conversation and I have never seen Ulrich talk this much before so I think I should leave them both alone. If I go closer to Ulrich, it would be awkward for him.

I walked towards the exit as I said “Maybe today I will eat Rai’s and Aetna’s bad cooking.”

————————————————————————————

“All the warrior class members come to the sparring building, not everyone needs to come but only the ones that are interested in taking part in the inter-house competition.”

the above statement was announced to us and now I am on the way to the sparring building. With me, there is Idiot A and Walk, well I don’t know why Walk is with us in the warrior house since from what I could see the size of his mana core is not small at all.

Eventually, we reached the place where we were called and gathered in this small arena where all the students from the Warriors House of the first two years.

Standing in the middle of the arena was the bald man who i met earlier today his name is Shawn Meier the son of the sword king.

“I gathered you all here for the selection of this year’s inter-house competition.”

His words were met with loud cheer but he didn’t seem to entertain the cheers as he continued to speak “The process of selection is a formality we need to do every year since it’s principals rule. But to be honest you all can leave since I have already decided on my team. There are no capable people from the first year so I will be only allowing the people of the second year to join. To be honest I already had decided on the team from a year earlier.”

Hearing his words many students started leaving the arena and so did Idiot A  “There is no arguing with him since he will make my life a living hell for the rest of my academic years if I try to argue with him.”

Saying that he left the place. But Walk was still seated with me.

After five minutes nearly seventy-five percent of the student left, the once full arena had very few people in it.

The bald man continued “Last year we won the inter-house competition because of that one girl. Even without the help of his fellow team due to jealousy, she was still able to single-handedly bring victory to us. This year I have made a team that is specially designed to support her in every possible way since she will be the only one that will bring us victory.”

Walk who was seated beside me opened his mouth as he said “She is talking about Eira Hoffmann. Last year her performance was something beyond anyone’s expectation. There was never a year where the warrior class had total domination over other classes. But last year she single-handedly crushed everyone. Her raw strength was something that —— it was insane.  I never imagined that a person’s raw strength could reach this level. ”

She was the first year when she did that which makes it more amazing. She has gotten stronger according to what I have heard, what happened to her in these years?

The bald professor made four students stand in the center of the ring and among them, there was also Dean Meier. Well, what he is doing in the warrior class?

“These are the four students who will take part in the competition, does anyone have any objection?”

There was no objection from the crowd well except for the—–

“Sir, I don’t really have an objection. But I do have some advice for you.” I said as I raised my hand and this action of mine got attention from others. Too much attention, actually.

Some even were whispering to me to sit back down, but without paying much heed to them I continued “For starters, these four people you have over there are pretty weak.. Even for support, all three of them are weak. Well, I know that you have your trust in my cousin but seriously this four are the best support you can provide her?”
