Supreme Harem God Systemchapter 289: she will get rid of me

"E-E-Expert Stage…"

Arvina's face paled in horror.

A 19-year-old Grand Master Stage Cultivator was unbelievable?

What about this then?

Does this make any sense?

Arvina was at a loss of words.

"Y-You are already an Expert Stage Cultivator…" She stuttered as her expression continued to change, from shock to amazement to doubt to acceptance and then, tensed.

Nux didn't fail to notice it and soon, he frowned.

"Teacher, why the tensed look?"

Arvina looked at Nux's face and muttered with a solemn look on her face,

"You are more talented than I thought."

"Hmm? Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look so tensed?" Nux couldn't understand.

What teacher makes a face like this when she finds out that her student is talented?

Shouldn't she be beaming in immense joy?"

"This is not a good thing at all…" Arvina muttered.

"Why?"

"If it is revealed, you will be killed."

"Huh? That would have happened even if my talent was the same as what you thought it was, won't it? Why do you look so tensed right now?"

Arvina, however, shook her head,

"No, that is not true earlier, even if your talent was revealed, I could have protected you from even the King of the Kingdom, however, now…

Things aren't the same…

The Dukes and the King would come after you no matter what and this time, I won't be able to protect you either."

Arvina's expression wasn't good at all.

Nux, however, couldn't understand what she was talking about and frowned,

"Teacher… isn't my talent being better a good thing? I can get stronger faster, and with the way I am going, I won't need more than a decade to become a King Stage Cultivator, and once I become a King Stage Expert, I would become one of the strongest people in this Kingdom.

Won't that make me safe?

I just need to stay inside the academy for a while and then, I can do whatever I want.

Isn't that a good thing?"

Nux questioned.

"…"

Arvina glanced at Nux, who was looking at her with a curious look on his face, in the end, she couldn't help but sigh.

What she was about to say now,

By no means, this should be told to anyone else, it is the top secret of Skyfall Kingdom and was not something she could share with just anyone.

However, Nux was not 'just anyone' for her now.

He was her student, therefore, she decided to trust him.

"Nux…

Things aren't as simple as that."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know why the King is able to rule over the Kingdom even though there are around 5-6 more King Stage Cultivators here?"

"Huh?"

Nux frowned in confusion.

"This does sound strange. How is the King doing it?"

He questioned with a confused look on his face. However, inwardly, a sly smile appeared on his face.

'She is finally going to be honest with me.'

This was a good sign, at the very least, it showed him that Arvina Skyfall trusted him.

Things were going smoother than he expected.

"Do you know why I am confident in being able to protect you even if all the King Stage Cultivators in the country come after you?"

Nux frowned even more.

"That is because of my teacher."

"Teacher?"

Nux frowned, and this time, he frowned for real.

"Yes, my teacher, Astaria Skyfall, an Emperor Stage Cultivator."

Arvina then told him about Astaria Skyfall and her relationship with her.

Something she must never share with anyone because if this was leaked, someone might take advantage of Astaria using Arvina, however, in the end, she decided to trust her disciple and told him everything.

"At first, if something goes wrong, I would have asked for Teacher Astaria's help and she would have protected you.

Actually, I was thinking of training you as the next protector of the Kingdom."

Arvina muttered.

"Huh?"

Nux frowned.

He did not expect something like that.

"I wanted you to become the next Emperor Stage Cultivator.

Do you know why Candice Water is so valued?

Do you know why I had to bear with her as my student even though she was so lazy and arrogant?

Do you know why the Headmaster took her in as his student even though she lost against you?"

"Wait…" Nux realized something.

"Yes, Candice Water is a candidate to become the next protector of the Kingdom. A talent like her is rare, however, talent alone can't do anything, you need to work hard as well.

She didn't work hard, that was her negligence.

However, with how valuable Candice Water is, we simply can't give up on her.

Exceptional Level affinity is required if one wants to become an Emperor Stage Cultivator, and in the last 100 years, only Candice has that affinity, that was the reason why the headmaster took her in as his student.

He didn't know about your absurd talent.

In his eyes, Candice was the only one.

He just wants his 'student' to be the next Protector of the Kingdom since that would raise his status and his name would be written down in history."

"I do not understand.

How are you so sure that Candice would remain Loyal to you?" Nux frowned.

"She will be married into the Royal Family, then, while she is being trained, she will be groomed by the Royal family for more than 100 years," Arvina answered.

'Isn't that like brainwashing?'

Nux narrowed his eyes, however, he didn't voice out his thoughts, he had more questions.

"I did hear about the First Prince wanting to marry her, but I heard that Marquee Water rejected that offer."

"He didn't reject it, he left it on Candice."

"So if you already take her as the next candidate…"

"Yes, Candice accepted."

"What if she had rejected it?" Nux questioned.

"Do I really need to say it?"

"…she would have been assassinated..." Nux muttered with a solemn look on his face.

The Royal Family was cruel,

However, he didn't care about it.

Candice can go die for all he cares.

Before, he wanted to get close to her, however, when she saw her character and absolute unwillingness to change, he decided to change his mind.

He doesn't have any need to collect any woman he meets in his harem, he only needs to be with women who are actually good.

Just like his other women.

Nux then looked at Arvina and narrowed his eyes,

"And you wanted me to become the next 'protector' of the Kingdom?"

This was something he didn't like.

"That is the only way you can ensure your safety."

Arvina answered.

Nux narrowed his eyes.

He didn't like her answer at all.

However, after thinking about it, he wasn't very disappointed either.

In the end, Arvina was only thinking about his sake,

"Then what is the problem now? Why can't I be the 'protector' now? Isn't my talent being better than what you expected a good thing?" Nux questioned.

"Your talent is too good.

It is simply absurd,

If before, I predicted that you would become an Emperor Stage Cultivator within 70-80 years, then now, you would only need 30, and 30 years is not enough to make you loyal to the Kingdom.

Not only that but Teacher Astaria still has 200 years left, if you become an Emperor Stage Cultivator in 30 years, then she would think that you would try to go against her.

And someone as talented as you would be a troublesome opponent, therefore, to get rid of the future trouble…"

"She will get rid of me."
