Chapter 44: True Value
The next day in the morning at 10.
"Master, the academy has published the written test result. Congratulations on passing the test with the highest mark!!"
"Kekk!!!kkuhhhkk!!!kheukkk!!!!"
"Master!! Are you alright? Here's a tissue!!"
His morning tea came out of his nose when he heard what he scored.
"I did what?"
"You passed with a 75 mark," he said it with excitement.
"Didn't I write 70? How did that happen?"
"Master, don't tell me you intentionally left your pages empty-_-."
"Oh. Ohh!! No no. You heard nothing."
Shit-_-.
Viktor took his robe and left for the academy because his mana test was at 11.
The academy hung a huge billboard in front of the academy with the pictures of top 10 passed students with their marks. The artists were drawing the picture of Viktor to print it in their newspaper.
"Why are they blocking the academy entrance?"
There was a group of people who were looking for someone. It was so sure that they were looking for Viktor. They wanted to talk with him.
"It was a good idea to wear a robe. But this silver hair is standing out too much."
But it's illegal to use any magic that changes one's appearance. So, I have no choice but to hide my hair and face with a robe. I don't have any intention of becoming the centre of attention. Because I have to participate in the main story to obtain something really important.
After he received the crest of record, his whole plan changed and he decided to become involved with the main storyline. The female lead has something really important with her which is very important to Viktor. So he will not hesitate to kill the female lead at the beginning of the story if it's necessary.
He will use every method to obtain that item even if he has to become the main villain.
I have no intention to see her book because I don't want to make it casual. To see one's personal life in detail isn't something a human should see. But for the sake of millions of people, I will have to do it one day.
So, I will live my life as a human as long as I can before that happens.
Viktor entered the academy by covering his hair and went straight to the department of magic technology.
In the department of technology, it isn't necessary to measure one's mana because one won't be needing to use high-class magic spells to attack someone. Instead, they can build weapons by using a small amount of mana and reprogram it to a whole new magic device.
So, measuring one's mana wasn't necessary. But it was necessary because a person with 1 circle of mana will be unable to cast magic spells as his minimum defences.
'Why are there only 21 people in this class?"
Ba-Dump!!!
The crest of record gave him a signal to his right inside the classroom and he saw a noble boy with brown hair looking around the classroom.
He had a ring on his finger which was emitting a pink aura. But it wasn't visible to others eyes. It was only visible to Viktor.
I found another one.
When the one and only creator declared the extermination of the useless guardians of the guardian realm, some of them were killed on the spot. Some of them decided to run away and hide in the lower realm or the base realm of the guardian realm, the human realm.
The guardians were able to hide them for centuries after centuries by hiding among the humans, dwarves, elves and demons. Some of them transformed themselves into wild creatures and monsters. So they were safe for the time being.
But they made a huge mistake. They decided to settle down and have babies, but they didn't know that the baby wouldn't be able to hide their half-guardian aura.
The heaven's guardian found them out very easily and started to kill the hidden guardian with their babies.
So, when they felt like they were going to die, they cut out their guardian power and placed it into small accessories. Some of them even secured their power inside teacups, toys, weapons, and trees, even some of the guardians were able to secure their power as a parasite inside a human's body.
Because they know if those fragments die with them, the world tree will fall quickly and the whole universe will be destroyed. They hoped that someone in the future would collect them one by one for the peace of the universe.
But it was different for the demons. The babies born from the direct guardian were intelligent since their birth and they hid their power like it's natural instinct. So they were able to be tracked down by heaven's guardian.
So, this world is filled with millions of undiscovered guardian's crests. People just don't know how to open their seals. They use those things normally like the other things without knowing their true value.
Which was happening right before Viktor's eyes.
The ring that the boy was wearing was a fragment of a guardian.
"So this is the signal my crest gave yesterday from the port."
Viktor sat on the same seat with the boy and stayed quiet to crest an awkward situation. And his strategy worked.
"Hi, I'm Beldorth Alexis. Nice to meet you."
"Viktor."
"Hm? Just Viktor?"
"Yes."
He felt irritated for a minute and he started to talk again.
"Why are you covering your face with that black hoodie? Aren't you that boy from the billboard? Or you're just faking it?"
"Yes, I'm that person. So please stop questioning me. The exam will start in 20 minutes."
I sat beside him to observe that ring he was wearing. But he's a loose mouth. Moreover, the book on the top of his head is half red. The green part is slowly turning to red.
'Is he going to die soon?'
He mumbled while looking above his head.
The book turning red means the book owner is going to die. And there's nothing stopping it. So I need to secure that ring from him as soon as I can.
I need to make him my friend with some other classmates. Because having only one friend will make me his deaths only suspect.
There's a chance that his family will sue me as a murderer.
Viktor took off his hoodie and the whole class became quiet by looking at his face. He was standing out too much by his tall figure and his look.
'Here goes nothing.'
