Han froze for a moment when he heard about the storage rings, he laughed dryly because on his way he inspected the storage rings.
Everything was normal except for three certain storage rings with a familiar mana signature on them. They all belonged to Kyle!
One of the rings was filled with thousands of mana stones, the second was filled with gold coins and some old weapons, heck he even saw a majestic gold throne embedded with diamonds. The last one was empty but he was dumbfounded when he sensed the sword placed inside was (S)-Rank. He almost fainted when he carefully looked at the sword scabbard. It was (SS)-Rank!
To his shock, one of the rings was supreme grade! It's not that he hadn't seen a supreme grade ring before but it was very rare.
After seeing Kyle's wealth, Han felt like he was too poor. His disciple was so rich and he wasn't even aware of this fact?
He did see the other storage rings and weapons but compared to Kyle's wealth they were not even considered average!
Han looked at Ratric with a solemn expression and offered him a bag.
"Don't be greedy, okay? Make sure to return the rings to their original owners. I know Kyle's mana signature so I placed his storage rings separately in a small pouch. Just take care of them for him until he returns."
Ratric blinked at his remarks with a frown but before he could question Han started floating and disappeared.
After Han left, Ratric scoffed and flipped his sleeves.
"Do I look so greedy that I would steal from the kids?"
He walked around for a while with a blank expression but inwardly his curiosity was piqued.
With a nonchalant expression, he stepped inside his room. The moment the door closed behind him he hurriedly opened the bag and peeked inside the storage rings.
After a minute, Ratric stood in front of the rings with a blank expression. He gazed lingered at the pouch for a second.
"Okay I except I am a little poor but I own the Academy."
With a serious nod, Ratric placed the pouch in a secure place before calling the other students who were kidnapped.
Soon, Professor Oliver and a group of students entered his room. Alec sighed with relief when he got his sword back. The others were also happy when they got their precious belongings.
Bia was sitting on Mia's shoulder. She gazed at the Principal and ruffled Mia's hair to attract her attention.
Mia gazed at her round eyes and patted her head with a smile. Afterward, her eyes landed on the Principal.
"Sir, is there any news about Kyle?"
Ratric looked back at her with a serious expression.
"Not yet, Geroge and the elders are looking for him. If he is alive they will find him but..."
He didn't complete his sentence and all the students standing in front of him became quiet.
Mia nodded and looked at Bia with a gentle smile.
"Don't worry he will be fine. He is not weak."
Bia narrowed her eyes at the Principal. There was no way Kyle was dead because even though it was very faint she could sense their connection.
-'They are so incompetent. Can't they even find a person?'
She scoffed inwardly and closed her eyes. Ratric gazed at Bia and shook his head. He gathered the student's attention.
"Alright, you all can leave now. I have to do a lot of work. About the Academies tournament, it was canceled and will be held a month later. Your Professors will inform you regarding further information."
The students nodded and left the room. The next few days in the Academy were quite peaceful but a few students were worried about Kyle.
Among them, Nine was the one who was the most flustered. He even wanted to leave the Acadmey and look around for Kyle himself but the individuals participating in the tournament were forbidden to leave the Acadmey.
"Damn it! I fought for a spot to enter the tournament because of him and now I can't leave this place."
Nine was frustrated and angry. He requested some old individuals from his Kingdom to look around for Kyle but they didn't listen to his command. Their reason, they weren't allowed to leave his side. In the end, the only thing Nine could do was to wait patiently for Kyle to return safely.
After a week, George and Elaze returned to the Academy but they were alone because even after searching the whole forest they weren't able to find Kyle.
Elder Han insisted on staying in the forest a little longer but he was called back. He gritted his teeth and left for the Central Continent again.
In the Academy, Aoky was tortured by Elder Levi. After two weeks of torture, he spilled a lot of secrets. The Principal was livid when he found out the culprit behind the kidnapping incident was Ziner the Dark mage. He knew the Dark mage wasn't a good person but never in his wildest dream did he imagine the latter would attack his people!
With an angry expression, Ratric immediately contacted some of his old friends and issued a huge bounty on Ziner's head.
Ziner posters were distributed in the whole Kingdom but the Principal wasn't able to locate him.
In the end, Principal Ratric called Lily to his room as he knew about her Origin. Even though he never wanted to involve her because she entered the Academy with her strength. Also, she never harmed the Academy or did anything suspicious but Ratric was too frustrated.
He just wanted to find Ziner at all costs so that in the future no one would dare to think about harming the Academy.
Still, he felt a little guilty when Lily answered each and every one of his questions with an innocent expression. She wasn't aware of Ziner wereboats.
With a sigh, Ratric dismissed her. In the end, he wasn't able to locate his enemy.
"Ziner you can hide as long as you want but I will find you no matter what."
Meanwhile, after the kidnapping incident, the students of each year were training and working very hard. Especially the ones involved in the incident.
