Chapter 138: No Chance Of Surviving
The whole place got tense. Fighting a summoner? That was insane. Those Elders could barely beat a Risen.
Even so, they seemed calm. Did these foolish young ones really think the Academy was that easy?
"You’re being pretty arrogant and reckless," the Academy Leader’s completely indifferent voice rang out. "I’ll let it go this time, since you’re still young. Don’t jump to conclusions too fast. The world isn’t black and white. Let’s call a meeting and talk things through civilly, about whatever it is you found."
At that moment, the slug’s eyes shifted slightly. He was staring right at the Academy Leader. The more experienced Elders noticed and nodded — to them, the slug was hesitating.
One of them spoke up, trying to calm things down: "Take it easy. This is a very important moment for our whole universe. Our first counterattack is happening, and a lot of High Elders are involved, helping organize the troops."
That very experienced Elder looked right into Niara’s eyes: "If something goes wrong in the Academy, they’ll have to come back to check on it. They can’t just abandon the home they have for a chance at another. Are you really sure about what you’re accusing? Are you sure you’ve thought it all through?"
Niara just snorted. Think? That’s her partner’s job. She turned to the Academy Leader — it was the first time she’d seen him. Her instincts went on full alert. He was definitely an enemy, and she wanted to kill him right away.
At the same time, Darian came back to reality. It had only taken him a minute.
This time... his curse hadn’t been that helpful.
He saw a lot of things — including that Leader next to other summoners causing huge losses to the universe. That had built up karma that Darian could see. But in this current situation, since he hadn’t done anything yet related to the counterattack plans, nothing more was revealed.
Darian snorted. He’d always relied on luck and his curse to handle things; now it had let him down.
