Awakening The Shadow; The Apex Era

Multiple Offers

“Grandpa” Wesley called the mighty king, who was sipping the naturally extracted wine.

He dropped the cup, upon hearing his grandson's voice “you seemed to have been done”

“Grandpa, why would you send some weak beasts to fight? I possessed a level S energy power. I can fight a more powerful beast” Wesley uttered as he sat beside his grandfather who only laughed weakly at him “I want you to start from a minimal level. As times goes on, you would fight a powerful beast”

“Grandpa, how do I attain a level of SS energy power? You were the only one with the level of energy and as your grandson, I suppose to inherit the trait from you. My level S isn't enough, I want it doubled “ Wesley said, looking forward to the mighty king's response. “I am called the mighty king cos I am the living legend who has the highest energy level but if you, my grandson want to attain the same, then keep practicing” they were still talking when they saw the rainbow in the sky.

The seven colors were so bold that everybody could literally see it. Following the rainbow was the blue light, covering the sky for a few seconds.

“Oh my goodness!” Wesley screamed while his grandfather, the mighty king, was in shock. “Another powerful person has been detected. The blue light seemed to be from the celestial Academy. They used an orb with a blue diamond. This is brighter than the light that erupted during my time. This is huge”

“Grandpa, you seemed to be dumbfounded. You mean this energy level is much higher than yours? Meaning it is SSS level?”

“I think so. Another legend has been made. We need to see him” The mighty king accepted, still looking at the sky in stock.

The loud sound woke him up from his sleep. He immediately stood up and rushed to his window and he was speechless with the view on the sky.

“A great man is here. This is more than a level S energy power and the blue light shows a sign from the celestial Academy. I need to check it out myself” Deen Theodore of another academy uttered,. rushing to wear his robe.

***

She was in her practice field, when she saw the blue flame and the rainbow.

“Wow! Celestial Academy has done it again, finding another gem in person but this person needs to come to my academy. I need him more than anybody else” Deen Maya whispered, dropping her weapon and rushing out to get dressed.

***

“Seriously? Celestial Academy again? This is huge, more brighter than that of the mighty king. I need to see the person that possesses this energy. He doesn't worth to stay in Celestial Academy” another Deen, Deen Edwin was determined as he stepped out of his house immediately.

★★★

Back to the Celestial Academy.

“I'm proud of you” Aria murmured, standing beside Keiran who just regained his confidence back then faced her colleagues “as you can see, Keiran now unlocked a new energy level which has never happened before, level SSS, making him the most powerful human on earth. With this, I believe he can fight the beasts and make our school proud”

“Miss Aria, you should not have made the announcement yet. We still need to confirm some things” Deen Aldrich cleared his throat as he said. “Yeah, I also agree,” his secretary said.

Keiran grinned “this isn't a game you need to confirm. It is obvious that I just unlocked a god-level power system which has never happened in the history of the school. All thanks to miss Aria for believing in me, else you would keep doubting the precious gift that I have”

“This isn't possible”

“Did he cheat again?”

“Is this another form of scam”

“We all saw him having the lowest energy as of yesterday, what changes things”

Standing up from her seat, Selene walked towards him. “Are you sure you did this yourself? It isn't that I do not trust you but you are unpredictable at times “

“Were you blind to see when it happened? Even if you have a weak sight, you would still see it. Stop the pretense and admit this greatness in him” Aria fired back at Selene angrily.

“Hey! You just pull a trick, right? I'll advise Dean Aldrich to investigate this power of a thing, else he would scam us for the second time”

“Stop it Marcus, you will surely admit this either now or later. Just watch out” Keiran defended himself.

“I'll need to discuss this with the management and get back to you” Deen Aldrich walked out with his secretary by his side.

“Sir, this is a very unique power and I'm proud that he is from this college. Other colleges would be jealous of us. I'm excited” the secretary, Miss Laura, rejoiced happily. “I didn't know how it happened but level SSS is an achievement”

“I do not want him to feel special yet, so that he won't use it against me since he has been expelled already. Thankfully, he knew nothing about his power yet. I'll take my time before letting him know the gigantic power that he has” Deen Aldrich grinned and was about to leave the hall completely when the other three deans arrived.

Dean Theodore, Deeman Maya and Dean Edwin

“To whom do I own this visit?” Dean Aldrich was amazed to see them. Maya was the first to reply to him . “I saw a sign of the blue gem that is just discovered in your Academy and I knew you can't handle such a rare gem, that's the reason for my visit”

“You can't be serious, he is our student and we have every right to determine what to do with him”

“Calm down, Kaira I know he is your student but you all know that I have the right tools to get him trained and if you release him for me, I bet you wouldn't regret it a bit” Maya said and Theodore walked forward. “Young Man, what is the name?*

“Keiran Cross”

“I am Dean Theodore. My academy is the richest of all. Come and join my academy and I would give you a private means of transportation, a private dorm, a special medical treatment, a private trainer and monthly allowance that would be more than enough for you”

“Wow! Such an incredible offer” the students were amazed.

“I am Maya. Seeing Aldrich walking out of the hall means something, you weren't treated right. Come and join my academy. I'll be your personal trainer, give you golds and silver and provide a comfortability that you haven't experienced before in your life” she made her offer known as well before Edwin also voiced out.

“My Academy is the biggest. I don't need to say much about it cos I'm sure you just have heard about my Academy. You have all the comfy you deserve, monthly salary and a chance to train with other magical students. Join my Academy and you wouldn't regret it”

“Are the three Academy fighting over Keiran now? Gosh! Selene just lost her privilege by breaking up with him”

“If I were me, I would apologize and reconcile with him. This is a lifetime opportunity for her”

“Did I just lose a lifetime opportunity a few hours ago? I didn't know he would have this great power “ Selene murmured.

“But I'm here for you, who knows If he only wants to cheat again” Marcus tried to convince her but she threw him a disdain look “cheat and three deans are here for him? You are a loser”

“Keiran my love!” She called, wanting to touch him but he yanked her hands off his shoulder.

“I knew I made a mistake. You know how much I love you. Consider it as a way of testing my love for you”

“Selene, you warned me not to ever talk to you again and I will honor your wishes. However, do not ever come close to me as well cos I don't deal with losers” he replied, then facing the deans that were making offers for him to join their academy.

“Keiran but I love-” Selene was trying to say when Keiran pushed, landing her on her buttocks. “You wanna say you loved me? Don't you ever utter that statement, not even by mistakes”

“So, Keiran, which deans would you like to follow?” one of the students questioned.

“What do you mean by that question? He is a student at this school and he isn't leaving” Dean Aldrich responded with annoyance. “But you have already expelled him, so he is free to follow whoever he wishes,” another student said.

“I didn't expel him. What happened was a misunderstanding and I'm ready to fix it”

“What assurance do we have that the power isn't a fake one?” He added.

“With the rainbow that filled the sky and the blue light, you still do not believe him? I said it, Keiran doesn't belong here. He deserves better” Maya answered.

“How about we make him prove to us that the power is real?” Dean Aldrich suggested.

“Prove? Again?”
