"Where do you think you're going?" Varyn asked coldly while holding two heads in his hands.
A galloping sound of a horse resounded from the side as a centaur came while swinging his blade swiftly, slicing the two humans that were trying to escape from Varyn. On the left side of the entrance, a group of guards came to reinforce. "Kill those who resist. Apprehend the rest!" A guard shouted as he had his werewolf pinning down a terrorist on the ground. The other guards followed the instruction and worked together to take the enemies down. On the other side, giant roots emerged from the ground and captured three of the terrorists. The one controlling them was an elderly druid. "It seems they are fine, Mistress." He glanced at Wyndia, who was staring at the academy's entrance from the roof. "Yeah." Wyndia closed her eyes. "It seems that he is more extraordinary than I originally thought." "You look so happy, Mistress. I suppose I should say congratulations…" Wyndia responded with a smile. *** "Haaa…" Rhys let out a long sigh, his face turning pale. Even though he had expected this kind of outcome, the foul blood smell and the horrendous state of the corpse made him want to vomit. "Are you alright, Rhys?" Riva immediately checked on him after seeing there were no more threats around. Even the ones she didn't have time to kill had already moved further in. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you sure you don't need to chase them?" "Your safety is my current priority. The threat here has been neutralized, so I assume that the rest will be taken down by the school's personnel." "I see." Rhys fell on his butt with a tired expression. Once he knew they were safe, all the adrenaline left his body. "Who are they?" "I'm assuming The Order. They are terrorists who are kidnapping people who have just become summoners to brainwash and train them as their own. Because it's still a holiday, they must try to take advantage of the situation to kidnap the new students. It never happens whenever the principal is in the school. It seems that they know that the principal is away and attack us." "I see. Why would humans attack each other when they have common enemies?" Rhys let out a long sigh. Riva couldn't answer that question. Instead, she turned to Maeve and the vampire. "Miss Maeve and her familiar, I'd like to express my gratitude for helping me earlier." "No. I didn't do anything." Maeve shook her head. She glanced at Rhys. Never in her wildest dream would she imagine that a farmer, who was said to have worse talent than even the worst student, would be the one saving her. Even the vampire thought the same. If not for Rhys's instruction, they wouldn't achieve such a swift battle. "What are we supposed to do now? Should we stay here until it's safe?" Rhys asked. "That's probably for the best." Riva agreed. "If you don't mind, please come with me." Rhys nodded as he dragged his body up. He wished to lay down on his bed to get some rest. He simply had experienced so much before he could have a peaceful time to sort of his thoughts after this transmigration. Riva guided them along with the other two girls to the school building, which was the safe place. After that, she politely bowed to them before leading Rhys to the empty cafeteria. While walking, she couldn't help but say, "Good work." "I was simply desperate." Rhys shook his head helplessly. He didn't have time to prepare for his first battle, so the aftermath was quite a surprise even for him. "No. I mean, good work for holding out." Riva brought him a cup of water. "It's fine now if you want to let it out." "Ah!" Rhys was embarrassed. "I'm fine now." "Fufu." Riva smiled gently, assuring him that it was fine. After confirming that Rhys felt relaxed, she turned to Gaelion. "You are a powerful wolf. How come you only have basic quality?" "Isn't it because he is too weak?" Gaelion harrumphed, blaming Rhys for everything that happened. "What did you say?" Rhys glared at him. If his talent was to summon a divine being, it meant that he could summon a goddess instead of getting stuck with a furry. "You are blaming everything on me when you're the one who is unreliable?" "Say what? You wouldn't be here if I didn't protect you earlier!" "Everything went according to my plan! And you merely followed it!" "Give me back the rational human, not this annoying one!" Gaelion jumped to Rhys. "Aaaahhh. This is human abuse!" "Fufu." Riva couldn't help but chuckle watching their quarrel. Even though Gaelion was strong and intelligent, he still trusted his contractor and followed his plan. At the same time, Rhys might not be strong, but he was bold and smart enough to solve the problem. They looked so perfect as a duo in her eyes. "I'm sure that you both will get stronger." Riva smiled. If she was just trying to be nice and cheer for him earlier, she definitely said it from the bottom of her heart this time. Their performances convinced her that they would reach a high level. "It seems that you are more capable than I thought, my dear student." Wyndia's voice suddenly echoed. Rhys was startled while Riva bowed to her. "Mistress." "I was simply desperate." Rhys smiled wryly. "Not many students could remain calm in your situation. Yet, you managed to view everything carefully and give instructions to solve the problem." Wyndia summoned the old druid and said, "You should go back. He will accompany you guys." There was a pair of red eyes staring at them from the corner of the hallway. She was none other than Maeve. Her curiosity got the better of her as she chose to follow them, never thinking that she would be finding such a sight. 'Isn't that the vice principal? The one who is known as the Forest Queen? What did she say earlier? Dear student? Is he the student of the Forest Queen? But how? If it's not his talent, does this mean he is smart enough that the Forest Queen takes him as her student?’Latest Chapter
Chapter 683
“If you do a good job…” Rhys looked around at the children gathered inside the hut. “Not only will you keep that pouch…” He pointed at the injured girl kneeling on the floor. “I’ll heal her too.” The room fell silent. “…Huh?” The fear on the children’s faces slowly gave way to confusion. Even the girl everyone called Big Sister looked stunned. For a few seconds, none of them spoke. It sounded too good to be true. No noble. No wealthy merchant. No powerful Beast Tamer. No one would ever make an offer like that to a group of slum children. One of the twins suddenly gasped. He hurried forward before dropping to both knees. “Please…” His voice trembled. “If you can really heal my sister…” “I’ll do anything.” “Anything you ask.” “Please save her.” The other children quickly followed him. One after another, they knelt beside him without hesitation. Rhys quietly watched the scene. He hadn’t expected this. He could tell the injured girl was important to them, but he

After finishing their meal, Rhys and Grace left the inn and made their way toward the mayor’s residence.Neither of them was in a hurry.Their pace was relaxed, but both knew the walk itself was part of the plan.Someone had been keeping an eye on them from the moment they stepped out of the inn. Syrax had already confirmed that.Now all they had to do was wait.It didn’t take long.Less than five minutes later, a small figure darted out from a nearby alley.Bang.“Ouch!”The boy stumbled into Rhys before falling hard onto the street.Rhys immediately turned toward him and raised his hand.The boy’s face turned pale.Almost on instinct, he threw both arms over his head and curled up, expecting a beating.Instead…Nothing happened.A calm voice reached his ears.“Are you alright?”The boy slowly lowered his arms.Rhys was standing in front of him with one hand extended, offering to help him up.Beside him, Grace looked genuinely worried.The boy froze.His eyes widened in disbelief.“I

“So…”Rhys stood up from his chair.“Let’s put politics aside and get back to the reason we’re here.”Grace blinked.“Have you heard everything you wanted to know?”“Don’t you have any more questions?”Rhys nodded.“For now, I know enough.”He stretched his shoulders.“The rest can wait until after the mission.”“We have plenty of time to talk later.”“But if we keep sitting here…”“We’re only wasting daylight.”Grace smiled and nodded.“Alright.”She stood up as well.“In that case…”“Should we head to the mayor’s office now?”She glanced toward the window.“We arrived this morning.”“It’s already been several hours.”She rubbed her throat with a small laugh.“And after talking this much…”“My throat is getting sore.”“Maybe we should grab something to eat first.”“Then visit the mayor.”Rhys nodded.“Sounds good.”“Although…”He raised a finger.“There’s one thing we need to do before meeting him.”Grace tilted her head.“One more thing?”A second later, realization flashed across h

Rhys frowned thoughtfully.“So Sage Dent belongs to that second category?”Grace nodded.“That’s right.”“And he’s not the only one.”She leaned back in her chair.“Besides Valaris Academy, there are two other academies led by World Class Beast Tamers.”“The Ironhand Guild has one.”“So do the Witch Tower and the Magic Tower.”She began counting them off on her fingers.“There are also two major chambers of commerce.”“The Merchant Guild.”“And several other influential organizations.”She smiled faintly.“Even the Dragon King falls into this category.”Rhys raised an eyebrow.“The Dragon King?”“Yes.”Grace nodded.“The pattern is actually very simple.”“Almost every major organization has at least one World Class Beast Tamer standing behind it.”“The kingdoms acknowledge their strength and grant them a certain level of independence.”“In return, those organizations obey the law and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”She shrugged.“It’s beneficial for everyone.”“Those organizations

“Five World Class Beast Tamers…”Rhys leaned back in his chair as he considered what Grace had just told him.“That’s quite a number.”Grace nodded.“It is.”“Normally, whenever someone shows the potential to become a World Class Beast Tamer, the royal family will do everything it can to bring that person into the royal bloodline.”“The easiest way is marriage.”“If the Beast Tamer is a man, they’ll marry him to a princess.”“If it’s a woman, they’ll arrange a marriage with one of the princes.”She smiled faintly.“Once that happens, they can legally grant that person the title and authority of a Duke or Duchess.”She folded her hands together.“That’s one of the reasons my position has always been so dominant.”“I’ve earned the support of two World Class Beast Tamers.”“None of the other candidates can compare.”Her expression gradually became more serious.“Of course…”“Once I lose my succession rights…”“My father will most likely recall Duke Carmichael.”“He serves the kingdom fir
Chapter 678
Before discussing something as sensitive as the royal succession, Rhys and Grace decided to find somewhere private. They entered one of the better inns in Ellenwood City and rented its finest room. Business had nearly collapsed after the disaster. Very few travelers still came through the city, so the innkeeper greeted them with unusual enthusiasm. Every request was handled immediately, and privacy was guaranteed without them even asking. Once the door was closed, the outside world seemed to disappear. Rhys and Grace sat across from each other with a small table between them. Grace took a deep breath before raising one finger. “Let’s start from the beginning.” “There are thirteen royal children in total.” “Eight princes.” “And five princesses.” She smiled. “But you don’t have to remember all of them.” “Only four are actual candidates for the throne.” “They’re the only ones with enough influence and support to realistically become the next sovereign.” Rhys no
