When he appeared he looked around and felt like he hasn't been here for ages, he felt nostalgic, it might have been six months in the real world but it's been ten years without civilization for him, he could only talk with the system.
After adjusting for a while, he looked at his clone who was sleeping away like a baby, he didn't know what to say to this clone, the clone seemed lazy, the clone also slept a lot when he entered the divine realm for the first time almost six years ago.
He shook his head and cancelled the skill and the clone's memory flowed into his mind.
After looking through the memories a vein bulged on his forehead, he clenched his fist, he felt like summoning the clone and punching it.
It turns out the clone went to the classes that were held, but it did nothing but sleep throughout, it slept and spent some of his point on a lot of food.
His clone was literally on vacation during his absence, he was like a lazy young master.
The clone behaviour made rumours to fly around that he is lazy and the rank 1 wasn't much, many people started looking forward to the mid term exam so they can steal his rank.
The reputation he suffered to build up by acting cool and all that was rendered useless within the span of six months by the clone.
He sighed, he didn't blame the clone, he too had a lazy side, if he reincarnated in a world without magic like his previous world and was born in a rich family, he won't bother working hard after he suffered in his first life.
It's just that his clone got to live the life before him which made another vein to appear on his forehead, he simply shook his head and forgot about it since there was nothing he could do about the matter.
Through the memories he saw that Bryan was accepted by the Dean of the Academy as disciple, this was two weeks after he entered divine realm, Anthony was shocked, it seems power houses were using this golden generation time to grab disciples.
Tiara and Bryan simply used six months to fly from A- rank to S- rank which was already too absurd, this kind of progress was only possible in the lower rank like the D ranks and lower, though it was possible to have this progress in higher realms but it would damage their foundation which was very a stupid thing to do just to make a little progress
The higher your rank the harder it is to even advance a small realm, that's why this is too absurd to Anthony
(Although Anthony did the same thing within six months, don't compare them as one was the A rank and the other was the SSS rank which is three major rank above, remember the higher the rank, the harder it is to even take a step in that realm, but Anthony did it in that same six months thanks to his physique and bloodline and cultivation technique, while having perfect foundation on top of that)
It seems the Dean and Vice president pumped their disciple with resource while helping them have a solid foundation along with the way, there was no way powerhouses of that level won't have resources to stabilise foundation of the mortal rank, power houses were simply too rich due to their ridiculous lifespan helping them gather resources all their lives.
Anthony had a thought of robbing one of these power houses but he killed the idea immediately it came to life, he was simply too weak to even injure these people, besides he has a free shop that can give him anything as he grows stronger together with the sign-in system, there was simply no one richer than him on this planet.
Anthony was sure that if those two powerhouse had a chance they would cultivate these two disciples directly to the SS rank but that would be a reckless move, as a backlash or damage would be imminent, nobody would risk their disciple's or their own life just to take a step that they could take a while later.
Anthony thought of the Technique, Spells and Skills these two people would enjoy and was tempted to take a master, but he knew that ??? was the greatest, what if ??? takes back everything if he acknowledgeds anyone as a master.
He won't accept anyone as a master even if the world will begged him, he won't take such fruitless risk at all.
He continued moving through the memories, then he furrowed his brows when he came across a certain rumour.
'They are finally making a move' Anthony thought.
It was the 'Forsaken cult', they sent assassins towards some genius students and all of them died, not a single one of them that stepped out came back to the Academy.
Those who survived after leaving on a mission were those who were irrelevant to cult, they only went after those who were going to grow into power houses, and five people from the S class died, while the rest that survived did so by using trump cards prepared by their family, it seems the five that died in the top 20 didn't even have the time to activate their life saving item in other to run.
Since each child in the top 20 was the child of a power house they all had things prepared to save their lives which the academy left to them while everything was taken from at the academy entrance.
About 200 genuines died at once in a span of six months, this has to be a big stain on the Academy's reputation as this is the first time this was happening and the world was in complete chaos.
Of course the Academy didn't take this lying down, they wiped out every single base of the forbidden cult they could find, killed every single one across all domains, the world literally shook under their might, the families of the five dead children in the top 20 didn't take it lying down, they too sent out armies and blood flowed.
There were guesses of war going to occur, but no one cared, they literally pushed the cult to the edge, but the cult didn't give in, they kept attacking the students and the academy had to stop giving out mission for the moment.
The five at the top 20 who died were,
Rank 5 Fares Fare/Fairy
Rank 10 Von keron/Dragon
Rank 12 Blaze Lilian/Pheonix
Rank 16 Hemel Wolf/Werewolf
Rank 17 Hillary Amos/Human
People confronted the Academy for an explanation, which the Academy accepted it was their fault and compensated all families
In all domain, the patriach of each of these families that had a child that died, didn't even wait for the academy to do anything, they started the entire thing on their own before the Academy joined, especially the dragons who usually attacked anyone that killed their kin.
Even the Dean personally moved as the brother of the disciple he just accepted was killed, he had to show force to his disciple.
Once he moved, even the world tremble in space and a cultist and a demon power rank on his level fought him.
He fought two against one, but still came out without even a single scratch on him and then went straight for the bases they came from and wiped them from the planet, this day would simply go down in history books.
Some power houses didn't make a move as their children didn't die, so they didn't waste their time, but diverted their time to their own children and increased security in the area and around their children.
These six months were literally dyed in RED.
