"H-How did you know!?"
Arvina questioned with a shocked, almost horrified look on her face.
"Hmm? I told you right, Nux told me."
Ember shrugged, not caring about Arvina's shocked look one bit.
"How? He was right in front of me!"
Arvina wasn't having it.
"I told you before, didn't I, Teacher? Lovers have a Heart connection with each other, they can communicate with one another no matter the distance."
"Don't fool me! I have never heard of something like that!"
"Well, you have never met real lovers, have you?"
Ember chuckled.
"I mean, most of the couples you met were either forced by their families, wanted the status, or were trying to kill each other.
Your own relationship isn't any different either now, is it?"
"…"
Arvina turned silent.
She only looked at Nux and Ember smiling at each other and narrowed her eyes.
"Shall we leave now?"
Ember questioned as she glanced at Arvina.
"Alright…"
Arvina nodded.
Nux smiled as well.
'Are you guys ready?'
'We are already in our position, captain!'
Skyla saluted.
'Yes, we are ready, don't worry, I will protect Evane, she is right here with me.'
Thyra spoke as well.
'I-I'll be careful as well… You do the same, okay?'
Evane spoke.
'I'll be careful.'
Nux nodded.
'Good luck.'
Felberta smiled.
'Meh, it's not like he needs it, it's only the Baldy.'
Edda shrugged.
Nux chuckled and then, his face turned serious.
Arvina, Ember, and Nux then walked out of Arvina's mansion and sneaked inside the Badly's Mansion.
The plan was to knock out any servant they meet while moving toward Baldy's room, however, Nux moved around so greatly that it felt like he had the map of the entire place in his mind.
"…"
Arvina was speechless, she has been inside the Headmaster's Mansion a few times, however, even she has not seen some paths Nux was taking.
5 minutes later, Nux, Arvina, and Ember were right in front of Headmaster Eliyard's room.
"What are we going to do? Barge right in? Or do we lure him out?"
Arvina whispered.
"That sounds so discourteous, Teacher. How could you even suggest something like that?"
Nux couldn't believe how rude his teacher sounded.
"Teacher Arvina, one should always be courteous while doing something like this,"
Nux explained and then,
*Bam*
He kicked the door open.
"Courteous…"
Arvina commented.
Ember chuckled.
"Who are you?"
Headmaster Eliyard questioned with a frown on his face.
"We meet again, Headmaster."
Nux smiled.
Eliyard narrowed his eyes,
"Nux…?"
He recognized this student.
"That is correct."
Nux smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
Eliyard questioned with a strict look on his face.
"Well, you did barge into my Teacher's Office at an untimely hour, consider it as payback."
Eliyard's expression turned cold, his eyes then fell on Arvina who was following behind Nux, and spoke coldly.
"Arvina, if you don't give me a good explanation, don't think you would be able to save him, or yourself. Also, don't rely on the fact that you are the Royal Consort becau-Ugghhh!"
*Bam*
Eliyard's body was sent flying and collided with the wall.
Nux stepped forward.
"I have to say, you are quite brave to talk to my teacher like that right in front of me."
"K-King S-Stage… You are a King Stage Cultivator!!"
Eliyard received the biggest shock of the century.
"Did you really not check that when I entered your room, you dumbass?"
"H-How is this possible!?"
Eliyard couldn't care less about Nux's insults. He was just too shocked to say or do anything.
However,
Nux just appeared right in front of him and kicked his face again.
*Bam*
*Clank*
This time, Eliyard's body clashed with the table, breaking the table and the vase that was on the top of the table in the process.
Blood trailed down from Eliyard's forehead.
Eliyard touched his forehead, seeing the blood on his fingers, his eyes widened in surprise, and then,
His face distorted in anger.
"You bastard!"
The Baldy then dashed towards Nux and a sword appeared in his hand.
He didn't care if this boy was a student of this academy.
This boy was a King Stage Cultivator of unknown background who barged into his room and attacked him. This was enough reason for him to deal with this situation as he sees fit.
Yes, he was planning to kill Nux.
*Bam*
*Clank*
Or that's what he wanted to do at least.
However, Eliyard was completely oppressed.
With just one slap, Nux had sent him flying away. This time, his body clashed with the wall, and the painting that was placed on the wall fell down and broke down.
Nux then walked towards Eliyard and stepped on his sword.
Eliyard looked at Nux's face and any change in his expression,
Nux attacked his head with his knees. Eliyard's head was sandwiched between the wall and Nux's knee and his nose broke.
Nux, however, wasn't done.
He continued to crush Eliyard's face with his knee again, and again, then again.
"AAgg- Bgghh!!"
Eliyard couldn't even scream properly. His vocal chord was being clogged with blood.
With each attack, his face was disfigured to another degree, while more and more blood dropped on the ground.
After Nux was finally satisfied, he grabbed Eliyard's neck and lifted him in the air.
"This… is this really a fight between two King Stage Cultivators…?"
Arvina, who was looking at everything questioned with a dumbstruck look on his face.
"Trust me when I say it… but your student is holding back…"
Ember replied. Her words sounded confident, however, deep inside, even she was a little shocked.
This one-sided beat-up was a fight between King Stage Cultivators… it was hard to believe…
"He is much stronger than I thought…"
Arvina finally realized.
"He is."
Ember nodded.
"No wonder you lost when you fought him."
If Arvina had said those words before, Ember would have retorted angrily, however this time,
"I had no chance from the start."
She admitted.
"Though I will say, I wasn't beaten up that brutally."
She pointed at Eliyard.
"I kind of feel bad for him…"
Arvina commented and Ember agreed.
