Ch. 2561..2570
Chapter 2561 They Are Already Here
They looked so upset that it seemed like they would break down in tears anytime.
Dread filled their faces as they reluctantly walked through the campus gates.
They felt like they were lesser beings compared to the other students at Carigrey Academy and kept their heads low as they didn’t dare look at them.
The students had proud expressions on their faces as they lined up on the field in front of their respective teachers.
They were all eager to show off who their teacher was, except for Troy and the eighty-six chosen men who didn’t want anyone to know they were Levi’s students.
Everyone cheered when they saw the teachers like Divine Brigadier, Eustace, and Gabriel make their appearance moments later.
Troy and the others could only watch enviously from the side and sighed at their misfortune.
Da*n, they get to be taught by all these awesome teachers while we end up with Levi and his useless techniques…
“Hahahaha…”
Everyone burst out laughing at them.
“This is the only team with a teacher who’s weaker than his students! What could they possibly achieve?”
“How about I teach you guys instead? At least I’m ranked nine hundred plus on the Divine Leaderboard!”
“That could work! Hahaha…”
Troy and the others wished the ground would just swallow them whole upon hearing that.
The worst part about it was them having no way to argue differently because those students were right about what they said.
At that point, anyone would’ve made a better teacher than Levi.
Everyone sighed upon seeing Levi when he showed up moments later.
Despite Carigrey Academy’s attempts at explaining the situation, none of them deemed him worthy of being a teacher.
The people in charge of the institute were the last to show up.
They were highly respectable people who mentored Forlevia, and they had some important news to announce.
They told the students that Dark Emperor was the chancellor of Carigrey Academy and that the other two were vice-chancellors.
“Sir, why aren’t the chancellor and vice-chancellors here today?” a student asked.
The other students chimed in as well, “Yeah, why are they absent during such an important event?”
Quite a lot of them were actually spies from Lab of Gods.
They were after Dark Emperor and the other two, so they grew anxious when they didn’t see their targets and yelled along with the other students.
“Actually, the chancellor and vice-chancellors are already here…”
Everyone fell silent instantly upon hearing that and began glancing about while Levi watched speechlessly in front.
“Look over here, you guys! All three of them are right here!” he mumbled to himself.
No one’s going to believe that either of them is here with me, let alone all three of them!
They looked at everyone else in the area except for Levi.
“All right, that’s enough. The chancellor can see you all, and that’s all that matters! You guys won’t see him even if he’s standing before you, so it’ll be hard for you to find him anyway!” Daxon said with a smile.
Even so, one of the students pressed on stubbornly, “Sir, aren’t they going to teach us personally? A lot of us came here specifically because of them!”
“Yeah! We want to be their students!”
“Don’t worry, you’ll get your chance! While they will only teach the top performers personally, they are monitoring and managing your development and will personally help improve your potential!”
Daxon’s words sparked the flames of confidence in Troy and the others in his team.
As long as Dark Emperor is watching, we’ll work hard and show him how excellent we are! This is our only chance at getting ourselves a new teacher!
Chapter 2562 Am I Not Qualified To Be Your Teacher
Determined to get Levi replaced, Troy and the others clenched their fists instinctively as they glared at him.
A student sneered at Troy and the others as he said, “That may be true, but we’ll be performing way better and improving a lot more under the guidance of great teachers! Unlike some people, we have a much higher chance at being selected by the chancellor and vice-chancellors!”
He’s right… With a teacher like Levi, there’s no way we’ll ever be able to excel and outperform the others! He’s so weak that he can’t even make it into the Provisional Leaderboard! I bet he’ll only be able to give us theoretical lessons instead of practical ones! It’d take a miracle for a weakling like him to make us strong! Oh, well… I guess we’ll just have to make do with this for now and see how things go…
They all exchanged glances at the thought of that.
Daxon then briefed them on the location of their dormitories, training grounds, and the ground rules at the institute.
Every teacher was assigned a rather decent dormitory and high-tech training facility suited to their teaching methods which combined ancient arts and modern technology.
In other words, everything they were provided with was of the best quality.
Levi and his team, on the other hand, were assigned to Carigrey Academy’s most remote and isolated location.
It had a harsh environment and was surrounded by snowy mountains as their training was based on self-mortification.
Everyone burst out laughing when they saw what Levi’s team got.
Even Zoey and the others felt so embarrassed by it that they wouldn’t dare greet Levi upon seeing him in the institute as they didn’t want others to associate them with him.
Levi clearly isn’t qualified to be a teacher here… This is a complete joke!
Although Troy and the others were okay with a little suffering and harsh living environments, they couldn’t stand the differential treatment received.
They’re all teachers, so why are the others given such nice things while Levi gets all the crappy stuff?
Little did they know, Levi was actually providing them with a quiet environment for their training.
The low temperatures deep within the snowy mountains would allow them to calm themselves and rid their minds of distracting thoughts.
As few would want to be in the harsh environment around them, they would be able to focus on their training without any disturbances from the others.
The harsh environment would keep people away, making it the perfect place to train their techniques without being disturbed.
Levi was originally planning on keeping them locked up in the Prison of Darkness, but he feared they would misunderstand his methods and end up going down the wrong path.
As such, he handpicked an ideal environment to train them instead.
However, they didn’t seem to like the place very much and envied what the other students were given.
“I suppose this is a good thing, after all! We won’t see them around as often if they’re all holed up in the corner! I bet the institute put them there because they ruin its reputation! Man, I feel embarrassed just being here with them!”
Troy and the others were furious when they heard the insults.
What did we do wrong? We didn’t do anything! It’s not like we wanted to be chosen for this! We are simply unfortunate enough to be chosen by Levi, and now we’re being bullied because of it! We can’t do anything in retaliation to the insults and humiliation! Our only chance is to shut them all up by destroying them in the tournament a year later, but how are we going to beat them if we learn from such a weak teacher? What are we going to do? We can’t argue with them, nor can we beat them!
We’re practically running in place while everyone else is advancing at the speed of a rocket!
Just like that, they followed Levi to their training facility with dread and despair written all over their faces.
After unpacking their belongings in their dorm rooms, they gathered around in the training area and glared angrily at Levi.
The temperature around them decreased even further as Levi asked with a smile, “You guys think I’m unqualified to be your teacher, and that I’m weaker than all of you. Am I right?”
Chapter 2563 Some Of You Are Smart Enough
Everyone froze in shock as they didn’t expect Levi to say that at all.
Is he admitting to it right now?
“That’s right! I think you’re weaker than us! You’re not qualified in the slightest!”
Bruno was the first to step forward.
Being a fighter ranked ninety-nine on the Provisional Leaderboard, he was only a step away from the Divine Leaderboard.
Naturally, he didn’t take it too well to have a teacher who couldn’t even make it into the Provisional Leaderboard.
“Same here!” Troy said as he stepped forward without any hesitation.
“Me too!” Eskild chimed in as well.
As a fighter on the Divine Leaderboard, he was the most outraged of them all.
One after another, the men stepped forward to express their disapproval toward Levi.
“Honestly, if it wasn’t for Carigrey Academy’s great reputation, I would’ve left long ago!”
“Yeah! We only chose to stay and endure the humiliation because we could get a different teacher!”
“If we’re lucky, we’ll be able to get a different teacher sooner. If not, then we’ll just have to wait till a year later!”
“This is our only reason for staying!”
Everyone voiced out their true feelings aggressively, much to Levi’s amusement.
“Kyler, Weldon, why aren’t you guys saying anything? What are your thoughts on this?”
“Huh?”
Everyone was surprised that Levi knew who they were, especially Kyler and Weldon.
“We don’t have anything to say about this. If the chancellor at Carigrey Academy acknowledges you as a teacher, then we will simply give your teachings our full attention!”
“Exactly! We don’t have much of a say in this, but Carigrey Academy must have its reasons for making such an arrangement. We have no choice but to go along with it, even if we end up being members of reserve forces in the future.”
Levi knew the detailed information on all of his students like the back of his hand.
He had picked all eighty-seven of them because they were truly suitable to train in his techniques.
They were all reliable men with incredible determination to get the job done no matter what, especially Kyler and Weldon who had been practicing the Ancient Arts of Qi night and day.
They only rushed over to Carigrey Academy because they heard there would be all sorts of powerful individuals at the institute.
They were able to rid their minds of distracting thoughts with ease and focused their efforts on a single technique.
Though they could be lacking in talent, they were most certainly going in the right direction.
The path to becoming strong was never easy and required one to take one steady step at a time.
Even with Levi’s talents and strength, it still took him three years to achieve the desired results.
The only enemy he truly faced was loneliness during his solitary training.
Azure Dragon and the others trained hard because they wanted to become stronger, but they were too hasty and easily distracted.
That was why they failed to focus fully on their training.
As such, Levi decided to handpick who he trained, so all eighty-seven of those men were fighters that he wanted to help strengthen.
Although the other students were assigned to more esteemed teachers, they were nothing but foils to their teachers.
The men Levi had chosen were the ones who would truly become powerful fighters.
The whole talk about having the Dark Emperor and the vice-chancellors personally teaching the top performers was based on the limits of what they trained in.
Despite how powerful people like Eustace and Gabriel were, Levi perceived them as absolute trash as their training was nothing compared to his.
“If they arranged for you to be our teacher, then what you teach must be useful somehow! We might not be able to put it to use now, but the time will come eventually!”
“That’s right! Carigrey Academy’s plans and strategies are way beyond our imagination! All we can do is focus on our training!”
Levi nodded at them and said, “Good, at least some of you are smart enough.”
Chapter 2564 The Spies Have Revealed Themselves
Levi liked those who could follow orders.
That’s right! Just do as you are told and train hard instead of asking so many questions!
He glanced at Bruno and Troy as he asked, “You guys think you’re smarter than the others, huh? You think you’ve got what it takes to back up your arrogance?”
“You…”
The guys were enraged, but Levi simply flashed them a smile as he continued, “You really want those pieces of trash out there to teach you guys?”
“That’s…”
Levi’s words shocked everyone to the core.
Did he just call people like Divine Brigadier, Gabriel, Eustace, and the other teachers at Carigrey Academy trash? Isn’t that a little too insolent of him? He will always remain at the bottom of the food chain for the rest of his life! Does Levi not realize who he is compared to them? He can’t even make it into Provisional Leaderboard, and he’s calling those on the Divine Leaderboard trash? If they’re trash, then what would that make everyone else?
“You’d better take responsibility for those words, Levi! How dare you call those other teachers trash? You’re practically signing your own death warrant!” Eskild shouted.
“Yeah! Do you not realize how weak you are? Where did you find that confidence to call them trash, huh?”
The rest of them chimed in as well, only to have Levi reply with a sneer, “That’s right, they are all trash to me! It doesn’t make a difference whether I’m saying this in front of you guys or to their faces!”
Those men were on the verge of exploding from anger and disbelief.
They had never seen anyone that stubborn and wanted nothing but to teach Levi a lesson.
Troy couldn’t hold himself back any longer and spoke up, “Levi, are you still stuck in that phase where you think you defeated Karsten all by yourself? You really think you’re number one on the Divine Leaderboard?”
“That was what happened! I killed Karsten, so I am the strongest. Also, you should be addressing me as Master Garrison, not by my name,” Levi replied coldly.
“You’re crazy! You of all people should know that Karsten’s death has nothing to do with you! Do you guys see this? He’s a madman! I would rather withdraw than have this lunatic teach me! I’m a Divine Leaderboard fighter! There’s no way I’m taking lessons from someone who can’t even make it into the Provisional Leaderboard! That’s it, I’m withdrawing!” Eskild shouted angrily at the top of his lungs.
Kyler and Weldon were quick to stop him. “Calm down! You only get one chance at attending Carigrey Academy! You will never be able to get back in if you withdraw!”
“I would rather leave than have him as a teacher!”
“Very well, then. You may leave! Does anyone else want to withdraw? Feel free to go with him!” Levi shouted at the others.
“I’m leaving!”
“Me too!”
Another six of them came forward.
The others hesitated for a bit but resisted the urge to leave and chose to remain in Carigrey Academy.
“You guys will regret staying here! All of you!” Eskild yelled while laughing as he left with the six other students.
Levi felt a lot better as he watched them slowly disappear from sight.
Man, those guys sure are complete amateurs! I can’t believe this was all it took for them to expose themselves!
As it turned out, Levi had suspected Eskild and four of the six guys to be spies.
Their data were simply too clean to be true, so he deliberately handpicked them to be on his team for closer observation.
Little did he know, they ended up leaving on their own before the training even started.
They knew it would be incredibly difficult for them to meet Dark Emperor or any of Carigrey Academy’s higher-ups.
As such, they would rather leave before exposing themselves by making their intentions obvious.
Of course, Levi knew they wouldn’t truly leave Carigrey Academy.
Chapter 2565 Defeat Me
Yes, those men left to find other opportunities.
As Lab of Gods had trained them to be elites, they refused to give up.
Never once did they forget their mission—to stay here!
“Comrades, we can’t leave like cowards! We need to find a way to get other teachers to take us as students. Listen to me! We shall get on our knees for three days straight. That way, the high-rank officials won’t ignore our plight!” Eskild announced.
“All right! Let’s do that!”
Soon, Eskild and the other six went on their knees on the square in the middle of Carigrey Academy to ask to become someone else’s students.
Their action attracted a lot of attention, and a crowd soon gathered around them.
Everyone couldn’t help but pity their plight and admire them for their tenacity.
After all, they were the only ones who’d rather leave Carigrey Academy than become Levi’s students.
Most people couldn’t do that!
“I’m impressed by your courage!”
“I couldn’t do this if I were in your shoes. There’s no way I’ll let the opportunity slip!”
“It’s disappointing to become Levi’s student, but everyone has to accept it!”
The crowd expressed their admiration for Eskild and the others.
“Let’s go ask our teachers to accept them!”
“Yes, let’s go ask our respective teachers. We can’t let them leave like that!”
As Eskild and his friends did the impossible, the other students couldn’t hide their reverence for them.
They promptly went to ask their teachers to accept them.
Eskild, who was kneeling on the ground, flashed a mysterious smile.
After kicking those men out, Levi was pleased.
He couldn’t really reveal everything when the spies were here, but now they were gone.
The spies had left the best place, for their target was none other than Levi himself!
Alas, they chose to leave Levi.
Now, Levi could focus on training the fighters.
He knew that those men would stay in the academy.
“All right. Let’s begin!” he announced.
However, his students wore calm expressions to show their unwillingness.
“Who else have a problem with me?” Levi asked.
“You might be my teacher, and I respect Carigrey Academy’s arrangements, but I’ll never respect you! Never!” Bruno answered.
Everyone nodded in agreement. “Yes, same here!”
“We agreed to stay because of Carigrey Academy’s reputation, not because of you! Though we are your students, we will never have respect for you!”
Troy chimed in, “The only way to earn my respect is to show us your skills!”
“Yes, you’ll earn our respect if you defeat us! Otherwise, we don’t even know what we’re going to learn. We don’t want our skills to regress!”
“That’s right. We’ll only respect someone who is stronger than us! Only strong fighters have the right to teach us!”
They were on the same page, venting out their frustrations.
Levi’s lips curved into a grin. “How do I earn your respect, then?”
“That’s easy. Defeat one of us! We’ll pick the strongest fighter among us. You can earn our respect if you defeat that person,” Bruno said.
Turning to Troy, he continued, “Troy is a Divine Leaderboard fighter, so he’s the strongest among us! Battle against him. You’ll earn our fear if you crush him!”
“Yes!” everyone else chimed in. “We’ll show you reverence if you beat Troy, the strongest of us all!”
Troy stared at Levi, deadpanned. “Come on, Master Garrison. Let’s fight! Don’t you want to earn our respect? Are you a coward?” he declared in a provoking manner.
Chapter 2566 A Punch That Shocks Carigrey Academy
“Come on!” Levi urged.
Just when Troy was about to take action, Levi called out, “Wait a minute.”
“What is it?” Everyone glared at him.
“What’s wrong? Are you going back on your word?”
“Ha! Are you afraid of Troy?”
“Never mind if you’re scared. We’ve never respected you, anyway. You can still be our teacher and teach us!”
“Yes, as long as you give in, we’ll let this off!”
They promptly joined in the discussion.
“No, what I mean is, you should all join in the fight instead of sending him!” Levi explained.
“What?” The moment those words left his lips, everyone fell silent in astonishment.
What? He wants us to fight against him together? Such arrogance! He’s being arrogant just like how he scolded us for being trash earlier!
“All right, you asked for it. I won’t hold back! Don’t blame me if I kill you!”
“Yes, we shall do our best! If anything happens to you, it isn’t our fault!”
Everyone instantly got all pumped up to unleash the beasts in them on Levi!
They wanted to take the opportunity to wipe Levi out so Carigrey Academy would assign another teacher to them.
Sharing a look, they confirmed that they were on the same wavelength.
Their goal was to wound Levi seriously so he would step down as a teacher!
That way, they’d get assigned to another teacher.
However, these young men were kind enough to spare Levi’s life. They only wanted to injure him.
It had never crossed their minds to sacrifice someone to achieve their goals.
Levi snickered. “It doesn’t matter. Come on! Do your best!”
“Sure! Be careful!”
Troy and the other seventy-nine men beamed excitedly, ready to attack to accomplish their goal.
“Charge!”
They all took action in unison.
It was a mind-blowing sight.
Levi glanced at them and shook his head in resignation. “Too weak, too light, too slow.”
Boom!
Levi blasted out a punch.
Thump! Thump!
One punch from him, and the earth shook.
Before the punch landed on Troy and the rest, its aura was enough to suppress them.
The sensation was akin to being pinned underneath a mountain.
One by one, they dropped to their knees and sank to the ground.
Boom!
The force from the punch flew past them.
It was launched with such power that it broke the sound barrier, resulting in a sonic boom.
Everyone stared at it intently.
Crack!
Under their watchful eyes, the punch blasted a tall mountain behind them into smithereens.
A path in the shape of a fist appeared in the middle of the mountain range.
The mountain range that was located behind them was over a thousand meters tall.
The sun had never appeared on one side as it was snowing all year.
However, Levi’s punch created a passageway between the mountain range!
Their jaws hung wide in shock.
Troy, Bruno, and the rest couldn’t help but gaped at the shocking sight.
A terrifying power shot to the sky before spreading everywhere and the shock wave was powerful enough to decimate everything in its path.
The snow-capped mountains shook violently under the impact of a mere punch.
It was absolutely terrifying!
Boom! Boom!
Besides that, the entire Carigrey Academy started shaking as though an earthquake had descended.
Before this, they had heard a loud boom that was as loud as thunder.
Thud!
Eskild and his men, who were initially on their knees, fell to the ground.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
They panicked at once.
It wasn’t just them, for the entire Carigrey Academy had descended into utter chaos.
All students and teachers were running around, demanding to know what had happened.
“Can someone tell me what is going on?”
Chapter 2567 The Strike Splits Carigrey Mountains
All hell had broken loose in Carigrey Academy.
Everyone was affected, including the teachers and students.
They scurried around, trying to find out what was going on.
Alas, even the teachers had no idea what that was.
That was where things became complicated.
After all, the commotion had nearly caused Carigrey Academy’s ruin.
Even the outside world could sense the shock wave.
The participants who were here for the selection halted in their tracks in fear.
“Did something happen in Carigrey Academy? That was a loud boom!”
“I think someone has destroyed Carigrey Academy!”
They began a heated discussion.
“Look at Carigrey Mountains!” someone yelled all of a sudden.
Everyone turned their heads around and saw a huge hole in the middle of the mountain range.
Right smack in the middle, the hole in a shape of a fist looked like it had been carved out.
“Oh my goodness! Did someone create the hole with a punch?”
“It resembles a fist, so you might be right!”
They discussed excitedly amongst themselves.
Breaking into a cold sweat, they couldn’t help but imagine how powerful the fighter was.
After all, it only took one earth-shattering punch to blast a hole in the middle of the mountain range.
It was simply unimaginable!
The people outside knew what had happened, but those in Carigrey Academy were still at a loss.
They were too near to the mountain range to see that horrifying void.
Until now, they were still scrambling to find out what had transpired.
Daxon and the rest scrunched up their expressions, for today was the first day Carigrey Academy was opened to the public.
They couldn’t afford to bear the consequences and humiliate themselves.
What a disgrace!
“Hurry, find out what’s going on. Be quick!” they ordered.
The students were panicking too.
“Isn’t it too exciting an experience on the first day?”
Zoey and the rest gathered together in fear.
They had never encountered such a huge commotion before.
This was much bigger a commotion compared to the time when Karsten died.
Meanwhile, back at the “crime scene.”
Troy and the others knelt on the ground without moving.
They looked like stone sculptures.
In fact, they looked like walking corpses who had lost their souls.
What was that? Did Levi, the teacher, we assumed to be weaker than us, blast a void in the middle of Carigrey Mountains? My god, he has such terrifying strength!
They saw how Levi gave a casual punch, so he obviously didn’t give his best shot.
The blow was most probably one-tenth of his normal strength!
Otherwise, the shock wave itself would crush them to pieces.
Karsten was no match for him!
If Karsten battles against Levi…
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, a horrible thought popped up in Troy and the others’ minds.
Didn’t Levi and Karsten battle with each other? It only took one punch from Levi to make Karsten erupt. However, everyone else said Karsten died because he had absorbed too much of everything and exploded. In fact, it was Levi who killed Karsten with just a blow!
Realization dawned on them.
After all, they did see how Levi killed Karsten with one punch.
Levi’s name wasn’t inscribed on the stone plaque.
They had heard rumors of how Levi’s name was carved into the back of the stone plaque, but no one bothered to take a look.
It is clear that Levi wasn’t lying then!
They finally understood everything.
As Carigrey Academy had gathered many elite fighters, they wouldn’t be assigned a teacher who wasn’t even on the Provisional Leaderboard for no reason.
Weldon’s right! Carigrey Academy’s arrangements made sense!
Chapter 2568 I Am Not At The Top
Everything makes sense now. It’s a win for us!
They couldn’t help but beam in delight.
Initially, they thought they had gotten the worst teacher, but Levi was, in fact, the strongest teacher!
All the teachers are no match for him!
Luck is on our side! Eskild and the rest who have escaped earlier are fools to have missed the opportunity. If Eskild was upset, he could’ve challenged Levi.
At that thought, everyone’s lips curved up.
This must be fate.
They were fated to succeed!
It was clear that Eskild and his friends weren’t this lucky.
Some of Levi’s students were relieved that they hadn’t left with Eskild earlier.
The reason they stayed back was because of Carigrey Academy’s reputation.
It was a close call!
They all broke into a cold sweat.
Finally, they admitted defeat, for Levi had earned their respect rightfully.
They couldn’t help but feel ashamed at how narrow-minded and foolish they acted back then.
Especially Troy and Bruno, who took the initiative to pick a fight, wished the ground would just swallow them whole.
“Do I have the right to be your teacher now?” Levi asked with a grin.
No one uttered a word.
Troy flashed a bitter smile. “Master Garrison, I apologize for my foolish actions. You’re not only qualified to be our teacher, but you can even be the Divine Brigadier’s teacher!”
“Yes, we finally know that you were the one who killed Karsten. No one is your match! Divine Bridagier and the rest would definitely want to be your students willingly.”
“I must’ve saved the world in my past life to be lucky enough to be your student now! My forefathers must be proud of me!”
They expressed their thoughts happily.
“Master Garrison, please accept our bows!”
With Troy as their leader, the students got to their knees and gave Levi a polite bow.
Levi had earned their reverence.
If they refused to admit defeat, he would’ve beaten them up.
“Don’t feel relieved. You’ll be undergoing an intense training session soon. I’ve selected you personally. Most of you had practiced asceticism, but what will come next is beyond that. It isn’t just physical pain, for you’ll be suffering mentally,” Levi warned.
Everyone’s expressions changed right then.
“We’re not afraid!” came their deafening reply.
Levi revealed, “Actually, what I’m going to teach you is pretty easy. It’s the basic technique mentioned by Carigrey Academy. This is no secret, for a lot of outsiders know of its existence. My wife and comrades have discarded it. However, I gained my power from this technique. The technique is to pursue ultimate power and speed. When you master the technique, you’ll be undefeatable! I’m still practicing the technique, for the end isn’t even in sight.”
His tone turned serious as he continued, “However, it requires your determination and sole focus. You need to abandon everything else, including other techniques, and bear with the torture and loneliness. It will be hard for you. Other students in the academy might improve drastically after their teachers taught them, but your improvements might be tiny, or even none. This is a test of your tenacity. If you can hang in there and achieve a breakthrough; then you can defeat anyone in the near future, including Divine Brigadier and the rest. I’m not at the top, for I’m still practicing this technique!”
Levi didn’t hold back and shared everything he knew about the technique.
Upon hearing his words, the rest tensed up.
It didn’t seem like they were the type to shy away from challenges.
“You can still change your mind.”
Chapter 2569 Is Your Name Carved Behind The Stone Plaque
As soon as Levi said that, everyone else stared at him intently.
“I’ll train along with you, and provide instructions when needed. However, I can’t promise you’ll improve quickly. It might take three to ten years to see an improvement,” he warned.
Everyone gaped at his words.
In this era where improvement was swift, no one could afford to wait for ten years.
The world might not even exist after ten years!
No one could wait that long.
Others might blanch at his words, but the students Levi picked were unfazed, for they were stubborn beings who had been practicing asceticism all the while.
“Though you won’t see an improvement for some time, persistence will lead to unexpected surprises. You’ll be able to defeat others easily, but first, you need to persevere,” Levi explained.
After a pause, he announced, “I’ll give you another choice—you can choose to leave! But I don’t mean leaving Carigrey Academy, of course. I’ll arrange for you to get assigned to other teachers, and I can also instruct you on different techniques.”
“Huh?”
A commotion immediately broke out amongst the students, for never in their wildest dreams did they expect that Levi would give them another choice!
“Now, you can pick your side. Those who want to quit can step aside.” Levi spoke, his voice ringing with authority.
Determination shone in the students’ gazes.
They were prepared to face the unknown!
Even if it would take twenty years, they’d hang on until the end!
No one was willing to opt out.
“All right, three minutes is up. No one opted out! You won’t get another chance to regret your decision from now on!” Levi was pleased with his students’ decisions.
He chuckled. “Good. I’m glad! From now on, you’ll suffer within a radius of one hundred miles! Get up!”
Everyone got to their feet.
Right then, a group of men rushed over to them.
“Something major has happened!”
It was Daxon and the rest. “Did nothing happen here?” they urged, curious at how calm Levi and his students were.
“Hey, look!” Eustace suddenly pointed at the Carigrey Mountains in the far distance.
Everyone looked in that direction and belatedly realized the commotion had started here.
Levi inquired, “I threw that punch. What’s the matter?”
“Oh. I-It’s nothing. We’ll take our leave now.”
Daxon and the rest promptly fled the scene.
Seeing that, Troy and the remaining students were amazed.
Did Levi scare them off just like that? That’s amazing! They know of Levi’s ability, then.
“Oh, so there’s utter chaos outside.”
“They had no idea it originated from here!”
Troy and the others broke into grins, for they were initially looked down upon by others in Carigrey Academy!
“All right. I’ll teach you the basic technique now. Come on, let’s go deep into the mountains!”
With that, Levi led his students into the mountains.
Kyler couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Master Garrison, is your name carved behind the stone plaque?”
Levi replied honestly, “Yes, that’s right. Karsten saw it that day, so he kept calling my name before he died.”
“Yes, I heard that! I thought he knows you. Now that I think of it, he must’ve seen the name behind the stone plaque!”
“Master Garrison, do we have the chance to see your name behind the stone plaque? Think of it as a form of encouragement for us!” Weldon pleaded.
“Sure, that works. You’ll have to wait until I finish teaching. Tomorrow, I’ll bring you all there!”
“Okay! Thank you, Master Garrison!”
Meanwhile, Carigrey Academy was still in an uproar.
“Everyone, calm down. I know the truth.”
Chapter 2570 Levi Is Misleading His Students
It was Daxon and the others who had made that announcement.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Everyone turned to look at them.
“The chancellor and vice-chancellors caused it when they were training,” Daxon announced.
As all three positions were Levi technically, he wasn’t lying.
“What? The chancellor and vice-chancellors are that capable?”
“Oh, dear! They are stronger than Karsten!”
“I’m going to be a good student, so the chancellor or vice-chancellors will set eyes on me!”
Knowing that the chancellor and vice-chancellors had caused the commotion, everyone was pumped up.
Their fists balled up as determination blazed in their eyes.
Even Zoey grew increasingly excited.
I’ll become Dark Emperor’s student once again by working hard to improve myself!
She dared not mention she was Dark Emperor’s disciple, for it was too embarrassing.
After all, she was no match compared to him.
“All right. If that’s it, please return to your respective teachers!” Daxon ordered.
“Sir, won’t you pity them? They’ve been on their knees for a long time. None of them did anything wrong. It was because Levi picked them. It’s a pity to kick them out of Carigrey Academy! Why don’t you assign them to other teachers? They are talented fighters! Eskild is a fighter on Divine Leaderboard!”
“Yes, please help them!”
The crowd started pleading for Daxon’s help.
Sighing, Daxon glanced at Eskild and the rest before giving in. “All right, then. Gabriel, Eustace, take two each. I’ll take the remaining three!”
Gabriel and Eustace nodded in agreement. “Sure!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
His announcement was greeted by a thunderous roar of applause.
“Congratulations, Eskild! You got a better chance!”
The students immediately relayed their congratulations to Eskild and the other six.
“Thank you! Thank you…”
Eskild and the other six were overjoyed.
Finally, their wishes came true, as they got assigned to other teachers.
Eskild and the other three spies were especially delighted, for they had a mission on hand.
They could carry on with their mission to investigate Dark Emperor and the other two.
Now that they were the Divine Brigadier and students of other strong teachers, it was a rare opportunity that gave them more chances to interact with their targets.
“Bunch of fools! They refused to leave with us and remained with Levi!”
“If they had come with us, they would’ve been assigned to other teachers now!”
Viggo and the remaining three men who weren’t spies spat mocking words.
They thought they did the right thing by leaving along with Eskild!
Those who remained with Levi were called “fools.”
Thus, the seven of them ended up being Daxon, Eustace, and Gabriel’s students.
On the first day, the teachers would provide a brief introduction.
After that, the students were given free time so they could get to know Carigrey Academy faster.
Everyone started strolling all-around Carigrey Academy.
However, they were most curious about Levi and his students.
After touring around Carigrey Academy, all the students headed for Levi’s place.
Soon, they arrived to see Troy and the others practicing.
The newcomers broke into laughter at the sight.
“Are you seriously practicing this basic technique? Even my dog won’t practice it!” they mocked.
Zoey, Azure Dragon, and the rest grimaced at the sight.
They felt uncomfortable seeing how the students were practicing hard and assumed that Levi was misleading the students!
What a waste of potential students!
“Mm? Eskild? Why are you still here?” Troy and his friends halted in their tracks.
Eskild and his gang wore arrogant expressions.
“We have an announcement to make. Don’t get upset!”
