God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Eyes glistening with focus and determination, Gaia opened her lips to say something, only for them to shut close again.

She tried to speak once more, but her lips shut close once more.

It caused Nolan to raise an eyebrow. It seems there was still some sort of indecision in her heart.

"You know what?" Nolan said. "If you don't want to tell me, it's completely fine. I don't mind."

Gaia shook her head, breathing out loudly.

In the next instant, a green wave of energy snaked out from her body and covered all the walls, entrapping them in a strange cocoon.

Nolan raised an eyebrow at the strange scene.

"You don't want the others to hear about it?" he asked.

He believed the Godly Ten's association was so close that they don't even keep something from each other.

It was clear that Gaia didn't want anyone to overhear their conversation.

"Yes, and for your own good. It's a matter you should probably keep in your head too," she warned him gravely, and Nolan nodded.

"I think you're the last free Heir of the Cursed Ones," Gaia said, holding her breath as she looked at Nolan, expecting him to jerk up from his seat.

She was met with disappointment when Nolan simply looked at her blandly.

"And, um, who are the Cursed Ones?" he asked her as she looked at him dumbly for a while.

"I thought I told you I forgot my memories, right?" Nolan replied, not liking her surprised gaze one bit.

It was as if Gaia was looking at an insufferably ignorant barbarian.

"You have no memories of your origin? Not even the smallest piece?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, and Nolan nodded.

"Okay, okay. This conversation might take longer than I expected. Now that you have no idea about your background, I almost feel sad about wanting to let you know, but I'm afraid this will be for your own good."

"At least, you can take it as my personal thank you for rescuing me from my death in Atlantis."

"In the Celestial Realm, there are a total of ten cities, each denoting its own mythology.".

"There's the Greek City, the Mesopotamian City, the Norse City, the Egyptian City, and thE others."

"I believe you should at least know about that," Gaia said, and Nolan nodded.

"Yes, I am well aware of the cities," he replied. It was something he had learned about during history class.

"Now, what if I tell you that, just like the academy, the various cities also have their own powerhouses?"

"The Greek City has about five or so powerhouses, the Norse has about two or three, the Egyptian has exactly three, and the same for the other cities..."

"Hmm, just like in the academy?"

"In the academy, there are many people with the Greek descent bloodline, but many factions each safeguarding its own descent."

"Something like that, right?" Nolan asked her, and Gaia nodded.

"Exactly. Now, have you heard of the Ninth Realm?" she asked him, and Nolan's eyebrows furrowed.

He could remember the words from Instructor Tamat, stating that they were not ready for the secrets of the Ninth Realm and would be told later when they reached a sufficient power level.

"Yes, I do. Not much do I know about it, though," Nolan answered, and Gaia nodded.

"That's expected. Matters of the Ninth Realm are only known to a minor few."

"But according to a few years ago, a certain group was banished from the Ninth Realm."

"Banished? Do people live there?" Nolan asked, wanting to glean more information.

"I don't know."

"All I know is that these people or this group were given the name Outcast from the Ninth Heavens."

" That's what people refer to them as."

"So you can guess they only obtained their name from being banished in one way or another from the Ninth Realm," Gaia explained, and Nolan nodded.

"These banished people from the Ninth Realm are said to possess powers that are simply beyond the understanding of the majority of the powerhouses of the Eighth Realm."

"The realm which the Cursed Ones descended."

"They were said to be strong. Strong enough to make the deep rulers and powerful factions of the various mythologies of the Seventh Realm feel intense fear."

"But fortunately or unfortunately, the Cursed Ones never wanted wealth or power, nor were they interested in hegemony or anything else."

"That way, they could somehow live in normal peace with the ten cities' major powers."

"Simply existing as normal people..."

"But then one day, or night, an event broke out."

"An event that made these Cursed people be rejected by every powerhouse in the Celestial Realm," Gaia said as Nolan's eyebrows furrowed and, unconsciously, a pang of unease surged within him.

"What did they do?"

"Are you in a cult in the academy or a faction?" Gaia suddenly asked him, and Nolan's eyebrows furrowed before he shook his head.

"No, I'm not."

"Good."

"If you remember what I told you about factions also being the same in the Celestial Realm, you have to know not everyone in the Celestial Realm is in a faction, just like not every student in the academy is part of a cult."

"There are also some outsiders who aren't allowed to join factions where they lack the necessary potential or have been specially targeted by larger, more fearful cults," Gaia explained to Nolan, who nodded repeatedly.

Truly, it wasn't every student that was in a cult.

The cults themselves had their own requirements for joining, and lack of fulfilling these requirements would lead to them being unable to join.

And if you're not part of a cult, life in the academy would be pretty hard."

"As you can guess, these people who are not in a cult in any of the factions face harsh and unfair treatment by those that are in factions."

"And that is what caused the problem..." She said to him, and Nolan nodded slowly.
