Chapter 129: Homecoming
Particularly moving through the vast lands, bridges, and people isn't exactly hard. It was. In fact, very uneventful. Though Cesar clearly liked the peaceful atmosphere that he missed so much. If he put the context of being in the penetrated reality's influence and the Earth's time, then he had been battling unending chaos for about a year now.
Funnily enough, Cesar found it unbelievable still. However, he was up to the point of fully adjusting to accepting the fact that he was indeed gone for a year.
"Cesar remember what we talked about, all right?"
Cesar heard Arnold's voice on the side which he replied with a curt nod.
Throughout their journey toward the Academy in sight, Arnold informed him more about the changes which will about to come, especially those pieces of news and evidence that involved him.
His comeback will raise a ruckus... as well as lurking dangers that will appear sooner than later. Arnold didn't specifically tell him what kind of 'dangers' were there, and only because he didn't know as well.
But there will be if it was the involvement of a mysterious case that has been nagging the whole world for a whole year which is the incident at the City of Wheels.
There isn't really solid proof that the media can manipulate since all of their mouths were talking about Cesar.
He was, after all, the most exposed to the accident aside from others. He didn't feel proud about it but he ought to take it since he deserve some things to it.
"Yes,"
Knowing he was good at doing what he was told to do so, Cesar is aware that he will be in the spotlight for at least a couple of weeks or months. He would be the talk in people's mouths while they were eating or while watching the news that contained about him.
All in all, he was ready to face all of it and answer their questions. He will rightfully share what he learned from the time they were in the Mansion while hiding a few secrets here and there.
Whoosh—!
Soon the steady pace of the vehicle's riding gradually taken slow as the driver saw that they were about to hit a solid concrete wall. Almost thinking that they were about to be hit because of their stupidity, Cesar removed such thoughts before finally seeing the results of such action.
The moment they were about to make contact with the concrete walls, at least what he thought at first, Cesar was half flabbergasted and half expecting the view.
Now, they were moving through a dark tunnel with only a few lights here and there. The vehicle then began to pick up its pace before moving through the tunnel with ease. After a few minutes of being under the belly of the tunnel, the vehicle left its mouth but there wasn't any tunnel at all.
It was just yet another concrete wall that someone had to go through to get inside.
Cesar then was able to perceive the Academy from afar. It was a tiny dart at first while being conjoined with other buildings all around it. The more they went deeper into it, the more it became crowded and exposed the Academy.
"Is it okay for me to learn about the ways in and outs of the Academy?"
Arnold shook his head, "No, you're a student after all. But being able to distinguish this is very important to the likes of you, I guess. It could even help you if needed. But if someone tried to irritate you because of it... just tell me. I'll handle them,"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
'How reliable...'
Soon, the vehicle moved passed through the streets of the Academy. Then, after almost over a year of being absent from its place, Cesar finally went back to the start, at the entrance which he once left after being given a mission for his squad.
Screech—!
The vehicle gradually slowed down before finally stopping. Once it did, Arnold and the guards were the ones who went down.
A couple of dozens of students caught glances at the bulky guards that positioned themselves right at the very entrance of the door. Soon, all their heads shifted to Arnold who indifferently made his way forward.
Just as they were thinking the Headmaster was just going back to one of its travels, the door on the side slid open, revealing a raven-black hair student walking out from it.
The female students were easily head over heels at the figure that looked like they were near on the same age with each other. Due to his now good-looking features, probably because he burnt enough calories that made his jawline straight and indifferent eyes that could kill with a single gaze, everyone couldn't help but notice him.
He was just that alluring.
It was probably because they were enchanted at how his eyes became so normal looking that Arnold couldn't even believe that he was feeling it as well.
There was just something about his eyes that felt different. And is probably because Arnold remembered that the reports he received contained about Cesar that he only had an eye at the start of his travel at the Mansion, and only received one when it was about to end.
'Eh, not that I care,' Arnold mused inwardly with a shrug.
Soon, both Cesar and Arnold walked through the crowd that continued observing them. For Arnold to highly regarded the new student as a very important figure as they walked side-by-side, they began to ponder the mysterious figure.
"Who was that guy? He's so pretty,"
"Do you have any idea who that guy is? Is it someone talented from the outside who has been recruited privately by Headmaster Arnold?"
"Hey... isn't that guy familiar? I saw his face air on TV for like over a year ago..."
The last guy who managed to remember that piece of news began to ponder even deeper before a huge gasp escaped from his mouth as soon as he realized it.
"Cesar Sparrow?!"
