Chapter 14: Red Snow Flower
Vice Principal George stood at the edge of the training ground, overlooking the students.
Turning around he looked at the beautiful woman standing next to him and said,
"What do you think about the new students?"
Standing on his left side, Aliza looked around and pointed toward a few students.
"There are a lot of promising students, but the ones who catch my eyes are Alec, Carcel, Lara, Mia, and Nine"
The Vice Principal nodded but seemingly noticing something he frowned. Seeing the Vice principal frowning, Aliza questioned
"What happened?"
The Vice Principal scanned the whole training ground before saying,
"That student is not present."
Aliza looked at the training ground and thought about Kyle as she had already heard about him from the Vice Principal.
"The one who took the (S)-Rank skill during the entrance exam?"
The Vice Principal didn't speak and just nodded his head in reply.
"He was absent today, but no need to worry. The next time he is present, I will make sure he knows what it means to skip my class."
Aliza smiled before placing the name 'Kyle' inside her blacklist. But the one thing she didn't know was that she wouldn't be able to see Kyle's face any time soon.
The Vice principal looked at Aliza and sighed before leaving,
'I wish that instead of Kyle, Alec was the one who got the (S)-Rank skill. What a waste.'
Meanwhile,
Kyle who was not aware that Aliza placed him on her blacklist, continued to read books about Bloodlines. He already saw the burning sun outside, but because it was already too late he decided to skip class for today.
After reading books the whole night, Kyle found a lot of knowledge about the monster's bloodlines. Monsters can awaken their bloodline when they are under extreme pressure or when they become adults, but the time to reach adulthood is different for all types of monsters.
All the information he found was related to monsters that's why Kyle was not sure if it would be useful for him. Nevertheless, he still decided to continue to search for more information until he found something useful.
A week later,
The first floor of the library was still the same but the one thing which looked out of place was a specific corner behind a bookshelf. It seemed a certain someone had made that corner his home.
Clothes, some food, shoes, and various other necessities were placed beside a young man who was continuously flipping pages of two different books.
As Kyle was busy reading, the old librarian stood on his left side staring at him with a dark face.
It's been a week since Kyle entered the library but he showed no sign of leaving, except for going to relieve himself or if he is hungry. He even ignored the librarian's presence.
'This kid, doesn't he have any class? What the hell is he reading? I haven't slept for a week due to him always sitting inside the library.'
The Librarian lightly slapped Kyle on the head before grabbing him by the collar with one hand.
"Ugh, What... " Kyle was startled suddenly being picked up by the librarian.
He tried to free himself from the old man's grip, but the difference in strength was too great. Even after struggling with all his might Kyle was not able to free himself and that's why he stopped resisting and accepted his fate.
The old man looked at Kyle strangely, who suddenly stopped struggling. Usually, someone entering the Academy would be at least (F)-Rank but seeing Kyle so powerless, he wonders if this lad is even in (-F)-Rank.
The Librarian tossed Kyle outside the library before speaking with a smile which was not polite at all,
"Free reading time finish kiddo. Now if you want to enter the library again bring some points with you."
"Ugh" Kyle looked at the librarian dumbfounded, wasn't the first floor free to use? Why did he suddenly throw him out?
Kyle stood up and dusted his clothes. He wanted to protest but seeing the Librarian smile he knew it was better to leave quietly.
He started walking toward his dorm.
"It seems I can't enter the library anymore, but it's okay I already found something useful."
Yesterday, while skipping through different books he saw a picture of a flower called 'Red Snow flower' that can help monsters in the bloodline awakening. But the problem was it could only be found in extremely hot places and also he was not sure if it would work because the flower was only useful to monsters.
Nevertheless, Kyle decided to leave for the mountain present behind the Academy. While finding information about the 'Red snow flower' he also read that among the three mountains surrounding the Academy, the one behind is the hottest. And if you can climb high enough there's a chance of finding the 'red snow flower'.
But because he can't leave the Academy without permission, Kyle decided to take on a mission.
After Kyle entered the dorm he took a hot bath. Due to staying inside the library for a week, he had not taken a bath.
Coming out from the shower Kyle glanced at the bed which was still untouched.
"Sigh, I was too excited and neglected my rest. I will sleep the whole day after coming back."
Kyle promised himself before leaving for the mission hall.
