Chapter 43: The Team Got Dispersed
Chapter 43: The Team Got Dispersed
"You just need to wait for days before the tests end," one of the administrators over the test answered Jim's question after ignoring the remarks of others around him.
"Ok, where shall I stay then?" Jim asked while trying to control his feelings.
Since he left the arena after his stunning winning streak, he only was faced with cold gazed and harsh treatment. People around him treated him like he was nothing, even after his stunning victory.
For him he thought once he did all this, crushing many strong foes and expanding his team to reach thirteen members including himself, everyone would treat him nice and special.
"I don't care about that," the centaur standing in front of him coldly answered before he moved towards a certain direction, any direction far from Jim.
"C'mon, I'm an inner academy disciple!" he shouted in anger yet his shout didn't make the centaur even turn to him. "Tsk, that's really lame!"
"Calm down, you are after all a human entering the inner circle of the academy and with a Bulltor by your side and this amazing mix you got you can't ask for better treatment."
Jim turned to face one of the three shapeshifters he just added to his team lastly. "Does this suppose to make me feel better?" he glanced at the youth called Brandy and harrumphed.
He was angry, very angry in fact. And the most annoying thing was the warning he received from the first person he met after exiting the arena in such triumph.
"Don't expect much out of it, sheep," Pol met him at the end of the corridor leading to the outside space of the arena, before instantly vanishing from his sight.
These simple words killed his joy and turned his pride in his victory into a rage of anger.
The more he dealt with people here the more he became furious. Yet he couldn't do anything to change that, not now at least.
"Soon," he muttered to himself, "everything will change, I promise."
All the bitterness he was feeling right now was turned slowly into endless fuel, a fuel that he would depend on later to soar and rock this academy.
"Sorry guys," Deno apologized in an embarrassed tone, "I know this is all my fault."
"Don't say that," Ashley said before adding, "you are part of the team, our team. You are one of our growing family, right everyone?" she turned to ask for support and everyone just nodded.
After all they all just hastily met in bizarre circumstances. Some of them even still dreamt of the glory and good life they could have lived if they had any fatal excuse to delay upon showing up here.
"I can't stand this," Jim clenched his fist while his chest was burning with anger.
"If you can't stand this, then find some way to change it."
Jim turned to see Siera walking towards him with a wide smile while a soft fluffy short tail of hers was moving right and left.
"You seem happy," Jim laughed.
"I saw an interesting show right now," she said before adding, "I think you don't have a place to stay at , right?"
"That's the trouble I'm facing."
She didn't answer Jim as she glanced over his team as she said:
"I believe you need a couple of days at your clans to arrange things there, right?"
Each one seemed quite tense of seeing her, and that was obvious in their nervous nodding. Only Deno seemed unfazed by her presence, just like the two girls who saw her as a kind friend.
"Then go and make sure to come back here in less than six days," she said before adding, "the admission ceremony will be held in six days, you all know that, right?"
Her calm words were so domineering to them, making them all nod in unison before they turned to Jim.
"We'll leave," they said in one tone before turning around and vanishing in no time.
"Wow," Jim exclaimed in surprise, "they really can run fast," he laughed while turning around to see Deno and Lan still there. "Won't you go to your clans as well?"
"Their clans aren't here," Siera said before moving to a certain direction, "follow me, I'll provide you with shelter and food for these days, plus many important info."
Jim glanced at the four standing next to him before they all moved after her. "Won't they run away?" Ashley suddenly asked.
"Run away? Hahaha," Siera laughed like she just heard a nice joke. "my dear, if this happened then their entire clans will be questioned and even the academy will dispatch teams to hunt them down."
"But I'm a human and you can see how they treat me," Jim didn't have his hopes high.
"This is different, this is concerned the echo system of the academy," Siera said before seriously adding, "as long as any mistake or crime here won't affect the general picture and system of the academy; no master will move a finger."
Everyone suddenly glanced at Deno who nervously muttered: "What?!!"
"Your presence here broke the inner system of the academy," Siera said what others didn't loudly confess, "yet luckily this isn't related to the written rules and greater pictures of the academy, rather to some powers interest here. So rest assured, away from the normal hassle of other disciples you won't be touched."
She paused before turning to Jim as she added, "at least not inside the walls of the academy."
