Chapter 149: 149 - Who Is Attacking the Academy?
Over the past six days, Lailah and Nexus had traveled all over the world. Tropical rainforests, white sandy beaches under the golden sunlight, dangerous high mountains, deserts where there was nothing to see but sand…
Did they have visas? No, definitely not. With Nexus's current arrogance, he obviously wouldn't ask permission from mortals. The whole journey was extremely fast because they were all illegal entries.
When traveling with Bell, even though they always used 'shortcuts' that ordinary people couldn't use, they were still much slower compared to Nexus.
Adding the fact that they could turn invisible at any time, Nexus and Lailah could wander all over the world without being followed by anyone.
Tens of thousands of meters above the ground, a huge white dragon was winding through the sky. The temperature here was so low that any boiling water poured out would immediately freeze, but Lailah could comfortably lie on the dragon's head as if nothing had happened. The system in its slime plush form now had to serve as Lailah's pillow.
With Nexus by her side, Lailah's automatic resurrection ability never had a chance to activate because there was nothing that could harm her.
"I'm really embarrassed. I feel like you're more like my tour guide than the other way around."
Looking at the full moon high above, Lailah smiled. The moon looked much clearer without clouds, fine dust, or urban lights affecting it.
As arrogant as Nexus was, he obviously wouldn't accept words that lowered his status like this.
"You dare say I'm your tour guide? You've got guts. I just wandered around and happened to drag you along, that's all. I'm not serving you."
"Hahaha… Even though I really hate Lucifer, I should thank him, shouldn't I? He didn't make you evil, he only made you arrogant. Hmm… no way! An angel will never thank a demon, and especially not the lord of hell."
Faced with Nexus's stubbornness, Lailah could only laugh. Even though she almost said something ridiculous, an angel's firm stance would never change.
Although Nexus said that, he spoiled Lailah a lot along the way. It wasn't through gentle or considerate actions, but as long as Lailah wanted something, she would get it immediately.
Because the main mission could be considered completed already, Lailah now saw this trip to Earth as a short vacation. Since it was a vacation, she wanted to try everything, which ended up costing quite a lot of money.
Luckily, she felt that luxury items were pretty pointless. Otherwise, Nexus would have to go to Bell to get more money again.
"Do you think we should have Mark stay with us when we go to the American Hunter Academy, or should we split up and let him become independent?"
Nexus couldn't use all of his powers for the time being, so of course he couldn't know everything. This time, he genuinely wanted her opinion instead of just making up something for Lailah to do so she wouldn't get bored.
"Can't you keep an eye on him at any time? So I think you should let him develop on his own. From what you've told me, I think he's basically capable enough to be independent already. But you can't completely leave him alone either. Whenever you think it's necessary, give him a mission to do."
After traveling with Nexus for so long, of course she had heard all about the disciples he had taken in after coming to Earth.
The more Lailah listened, the more she realized that she had been worrying for nothing. Changing Nexus's personality had also been unnecessary. But since she had already done it, and the result wasn't too bad either, there was no need to fix her mistake.
There were even times when Nexus asked her if she wanted to cultivate. Of course, Lailah refused because she was already an angel. She was already immortal, so what was the point of cultivating?
"That's good too. We can't leave Mark alone and let him get lazy. If my disciple is too useless, it'll make me lose face. Right now, only White is decent, Emily is barely acceptable, while Mark is complete trash."
Now, instead of hearing the system call him useless like before, Mark would now get to hear his master Nexus call him trash.
Mark really was unlucky. If Lailah had stopped halfway through, at least Mark would have had a relatively long period of safety. But now, Mark was about to be tortured by some kind of mission again.
Thinking about enrolling, Nexus's gaze turned toward Lailah once again. Only now did he notice that he hadn't 'registered' Lailah yet.
"Sleepy?"
"No. I can sleep whenever I want. I'm not bored yet, so why would I sleep now?"
Lailah's current strength was that of an ordinary person, but there were many unusual things about her. For example, she could eat a lot without gaining or losing weight, and her body would always stay exactly like this. She was genuinely weak, but as long as Lailah was happy, she would never feel tired.
"We're going to the academy just to register you. Since we'll be staying there for quite a long time anyway, we should show the academy some respect, otherwise I'll look really pathetic."
Nexus still had a pretty good impression of the American Hunter Academy. As long as they didn't offend him, he was still willing to give them a little respect.
The dragon created by Nexus immediately accelerated and shot forward at a speed no different from a missile, heading straight toward the academy.
When they arrived, he slung Lailah over his shoulder like a sack and jumped down from a height of about twenty thousand meters in the air.
Obviously, there were many gentler ways to do this, but Nexus liked to be dramatic like that. Not only did he jump, but his body was surrounded by a constantly glowing white aura, making him look like a falling meteor.
A loud explosion rang out. The super-hard concrete ground in front of the entrance of the American Hunter Academy was blasted open into a huge crater by Nexus.
Chunks of debris were blasted into the air from the ground. If Nexus hadn't chosen a position far enough away, those fragments would have slammed into the nearby buildings.
Willis was lying inside the security room listening to music when a huge shockwave startled him.
"What the hell? Someone actually dared to attack the academy?"
