Chapter 44
For the next few days, Michelle played around with her three beasts and relaxed, deciding not to send anyone to the middle realm just yet, because if the Thomas Hillberg she crippled was just a double, the real one in the middle realm would pretend to be crippled for a while, so that if Michael Grayson came to check it, he would be fooled.
After playing around for a few days with her beasts, Michelle went to have a meal with the Archduke. "Michelle, I thought about your request to go to the Academy..." he had a bit of a troubled expression.
"Yes, father?" Michelle tilted her head a bit.
"Well..." The Archduke sighed before speaking: "If you go into the Academy in the upper realm, you will be quickly found out to have Spirit Soul Blood and..." he didn't finish his sentence, but Michelle understood what he meant.
"There's also the possibility that you would take private tests to enter the Academy with someone who will keep your secret, but someone like that is only the Headmaster, and if you get accepted by him, you will be seen as having been accepted under protection. Also, you will have to never condensate your spirit energy so, they will think you are a useless trash who got in because I'm the headmaster's friend."
Listening to that, Michelle wasn't that surprised. But she didn't want to go into the Academy to study. She just felt like she had to go. "Father, what do you suggest?" she decided to ask, as it seemed that the Archduke had a solution in mind.
And she was right, as he quickly spoke: "The second ranked Academy in the upper realm has a special treasure which alters the spiritual energy surrounding it. If you cultivate that special spirit energy, you will be able to conceal your Spirit Soul Blood even if you condensate your spirit energy. And you will also learn to control the color of your eyes to some extent. Now it only reacts to intense emotions, but after cultivating that spirit energy, it could change if you push your spirit energy into your eyes."
Listening to that, Michelle raised a brow. "Do you want me to enroll in the Academy?" she asked lazily.
"Yes!" the Archduke nodded. "But I won't go with you..." he added after a while.
