Level Infinity Weakest King - Chapter 223

“Wait, had he seen through since the start?”, the man asked in a low voice.

“…”

The man and the lady were completely shocked after hearing what he said.

They turned back but the principal and the teachers had already left.

Yes, they thought that it was waste of time so they left early. Regardless, the man and the lady were baffled.

They knew that he passed the test since he had noticed them, however, he didn’t mention it.

Therefore, both of them suddenly dashed through the other door that was present towards the back wall in order to go and inform the teachers.

Meanwhile, Rex walked out of the office and with a sad expression, then walked right towards the reception and material building.

The princesses were not present near the windows or on balconies right now. Ten minutes ago, their breaks were over and they were called for the next classes immediately.

Of course, no one saw his sad expression.

‘Ha, I can’t believe that I ended up failing.’, Rex grit his teeth as he thought this.

He continued to walk as he reached the main gate of the Academy.

‘I didn’t think that noticing the wall would be the real test.’

‘I just wasted their time by simply answering the questions…’, Rex realized and started to blame himself.

So what if someone is powerful? If they aren’t able to show the right results at the right time, then they are basically useless.

Or to be precise, if the circumstances created by others hinder and do not display their true power, then too, the blame would be placed on the powerful person.

They would call him foolish to not notice such an obvious ploy or something similar.

But for someone, who had gone through many things, this would just be another stepping stone to display their talents.

In any case, Rex now walked out of the gate.

The white lady and the blonde lady looked at him walking with somewhat depressed faces.

They then asked mockingly, “Ha, you failed right?”

Rex stopped and then looked at them. Then with a smile said, “Yes.”

Although he did smile, his eyes said that he was sad.

Well, Rex was revered by all. Even he was proud of himself because he knew how powerful he was. But just because of simple foolish thinking of respect, he failed.

And this failure probably left a black dot in his heart.

In any case, he continued to walk without bothering with what the ladies said since they started to mock him immediately by saying, “Of course, you would fail. What else was a no-talent useless person like you was thinking?”

Well, the reason why they were able to mock a prince this easily was because of the King’s hand had no control over the affairs inside the Academy.

Yes, no matter what happened, they couldn’t do anything. Due to this, many princes and princesses of poor kingdoms or of new but weak kingdoms were often put down to tarnish their reputation.

They were hit, criticized, and tortured badly sometimes by the rich ones. The headmasters of the teachers did nothing in these situations because they thought that this was necessary to maintain the hierarchy.

Anyway, Rex walked past the ladies and then soon reached the city. There were many people out there who had seen him rush to the academy, but now they saw the depressed expression on him. Some realized that he failed while others were curious.

But none of them dared to ask him. That was because they weren’t allowed to meddle in the matters regarding the academy or its decisions.

Perhaps the Academy handed punishments instead of rewards to the people and probably it was brutal enough to make everyone obey.

Regardless, he kept walking when suddenly, it started to drizzle.

Rex continued to walk despite that. Well, it’s not as if he was getting wet, there was magic protection around him.

Though, the people couldn’t see that. For them, it would seem as if the rain droplets were touching his body and were making him wet.

A few seconds later, it started to rain heavily. Despite this, Rex continued to walk.

And this time, he disabled the barrier. That was because he couldn’t bother with using his magic right now. He was just, disappointed.

Yes, the wind started to blow quickly too. The lightning was heavy and these were by no means things that Rex was doing.

Nor were they happening because he was sad. It was just genuine and was happening naturally. His being upset was just a coincidence.

Rex walked a few more steps when suddenly, someone grabbed his left hand.

He was surprised because he didn’t sense anyone approaching him.

He turned back suddenly and looked at an old grandma holding his left hand.

“Come with me.”, she said in a low voice and started to pull him towards a shop which was under a huge banyan tree.

Rex, without hesitating, followed her.

She walked quite swiftly despite her old age.

Within a few seconds, they were under the banyan tree after which they entered the shop.

“Son, here.”, she lent him a towel.

‘Huh?’

He stared at the old lady when she tried to give him a white towel to wipe his head.

He was drenched because he deactivated the barrier.

Rex didn’t understand why she was doing this and was taking too long to take the towel from here. Because of that, she herself moved forward and then started to rub it against his hair in an attempt to dry his hairs.

His head started shaking suddenly. He could have felt dizzy because of that, but for some reason, he felt relieved.

After a few minutes of a continuous attempt of drying, the lady stopped.

She started to breathe heavily. Just this much was enough to drain the lady’s stamina.

“Son, don’t be depressed.”, she said and then pulled him over and lent him a chair to sit on.

The shop inside which Rex had come was vivid and different.

While other shops were greatly decorated and at times, looked very modern, the current shop was too old.

It seemed as if it could fall anytime soon.

Rex looked at the things that were placed. While it did look like a shop, it was more like some storage room since the things were placed here and there.

Of course, there was a staircase in front of him which probably led to the second floor of the room.

However, when he looked from outside, the shop looked much smaller.

‘Why did the lady bring me here?’, he questioned.

It was always told that one shouldn’t follow a stranger, so Rex did feel a bit weird for following her without doubting anything.

‘Was I that depressed that I forgot to be cautious?’, he asked himself.

He then sat there while observing different things when suddenly the lady walked out of another room that was towards his right.

She brought some hot soup and gave it to Rex.

“Here son, drink it.”, she said.

It looked like tomato soup with the redness and after using his powers too, he was convinced that it was made up of tomato.

Also, he checked if there was any poison – there was none.

He happily gulped it down.

“Thank you grandma.”, he said.

She then took the bowl and then placed it on the ground, near the chair.

After that, she pulled another chair and then said, “Look here son, no matter what happens, never think about giving up your life.”

“Huh?”, Rex was surprised by what she said.

“I-“, he was about to refute what she said since it sounded non-sense, but before he could justify himself or say anything, the lady intervened and continued to talk.

“No son, I don’t want to hear any excuses.”

“No matter what happens, you cannot go and kill yourself.”

“Think about your parents…”

“Think about your friends…”

“And think about all the happiness that you might forget after you die.”, she said.

She stubbornly tried to prevent Rex from killing himself.

She continued to lecture him for quite some time when finally Rex gave up.

“Um, grandma, I won’t be dying.”, Rex said.

“That’s like a good boy.”, she said while patting his head.

He felt a weird warmth from her hands.

He hadn’t looked at her clearly earlier, but now when he took a look, he could see that she had a lot of wrinkles. Her hairs were completely white with some being grey.

Also, she wore spectacles probably because she couldn’t see that clearly.

She was just like any other old woman yet she touched Rex’s heart in a different way.

“But grandma, I was never trying to die in the first place.”, he said.

“Eh? You weren’t?”, she asked.

“Yes, I would never think about dying…”

“What made you think that I would die, grandma?”, he asked.

“…”

“That…”, she suddenly stared at the floor when Rex questioned him.

She then said, “I will be back.”

After saying this, she picked up the bowl and went to place it in the kitchen while leaving Rex alone.
