The crowd gathered outside looked in the direction the man landed, his life and death is unknown since there have been no movements from him since he crashed into the ground.
Oliver looked at Chris and couldn’t help but sigh, he knew now the issue wouldn’t be settled easily, and he didn’t really care. Now unlike the previous time, the higher-ups from the Starlight Academy will try to make a big issue out of this. But to hell with them, did they think the Lunar Academy was scared, if they thought that, then they were dead wrong.
“Are you still here?”
Oliver asked while releasing a cold aura from his body, since things have already gotten to this stage, there was no use in trying to talk calmly to them. If they still decide not to leave, then they will face the same fate as their comrade. He was over a hundred percent sure Chris killed the man with that slap.
The instructors from the Lunar Academy all released intense killing intent from their bodies, the group from the Starlight Academy quickly scurried away like a pack of scared dogs with their tails behind their legs. They came here with heads held high, thinking they might use this opportunity to not only get rid of Grey but to also show everyone who was the number one, but now they left in disgrace and mostly fear. From how the instructors from the Lunar Academy were acting, they knew they weren’t joking and might attack if they stayed any further.
Among the group, the man who was smacked to death was the most pitiful. If he could talk he would have surely complained about the nature of his death, if he was killed with some flashy move, it wouldn’t be as bad as being smacked to death. He only came here to show dominance, why did it end like this? Even in the underworld, he would be a laughingstock because of the way he died.
The group quickly went over to get the man who was smacked away, but on seeing his condition, they were stupefied, and the fear they felt increased once again. The side of the man’s head caved in, and he couldn’t be any deader. They picked up the corpse and disappeared from the area.
News of the event quickly rocked the entire city. The fact that a group from the Starlight Academy went over to the Lunar Academy to demand for a student was shocking on its own, the fact that one of the group was smacked to death was even more astonishing.
***********
At the residence of the Starlight Academy
The instructors all looked at the corpse with rage, this was an instructor who was most likely to be the next head instructor in the Wind Hall, but now he was dead, even the manner of his death was annoying, he was smacked to death, like an annoying fly.
“Good, very good. The people from the Lunar Academy are getting more daring, do they think we’re pushovers?”
“Call everyone here, we’re heading over to confront them”
The principal of the Starlight Academy said in anger.
***********
The Castle of the emperor
“Your highness, the conflict between the Lunar and the Starlight Academy seems to have escalated again. An instructor from the Starlight Academy was killed today when they went over to the residence of the Lunar Academy to demand for a student who they said attacked some of their students”
Seated on the throne was a man who looked to be in his early forties. With refined features and a calm look, he was the emperor of the Qilin empire, Augustus Gale.
He stared at the man who was reporting what happened to him.
“To dare break the rules of the city, the Lunar Academy doesn’t seem to put his highness in their eyes”
An elder by the side spoke in a spiteful manner.
The others looked at him but didn’t say anything, they shifted their gazes back to the emperor. They all knew that the elder had close ties with the Starlight Academy, and he’s not the only one, more than half of the elders present here had close ties with them. This was one of the reasons the Starlight Academy had not only grown in power but also why they always acted overbearingly.
The man who was giving the report suddenly spoke up again.
“Your highness, it seems the people from the Starlight Academy are currently on their way to confront the Lunar Academy”
Augustus felt tired from the entire issue, he didn’t know what to do about the two academies.
“Head over to the residence of the Lunar Academy and summon both Academies over”
“Yes, your highness”
The man bowed before leaving the castle
“Your highness, if I may?”
One of the elders asked.
The emperor nodded.
The elder continued after getting the go-ahead from the emperor,
“This is a very delicate matter, and if not handled properly it might cause internal strife in the empire”
“So what do you have in mind?”
The emperor looked at him with interest
“We still don’t know if what the group of the Starlight Academy said is the truth. For all we know, they might just be looking for a way to get back at the Lunar Academy for the matter that occurred previously”
The elder said.
The elder who spoke up previously quickly jumped into the fray,
“What do you mean by that? Do you think the people from the Starlight Academy will just decide to bully someone of the younger generation unreasonably?”
“Yes, yes I do”
The man didn’t hide his thoughts and said it out loud, he was tired of the tyrannical way the Starlight Academy were acting in the empire for a while now.
They soon got into a heated argument before the emperor decided to step in,
“Enough, we’ll hear from both sides when they get here”
************
When the crowd saw another group from the Starlight Academy approaching the residence, they weren’t surprised since they expected this. The principal and the instructors from the Lunar Academy all came out also when they sensed the aura the group from the Starlight Academy was doing nothing to hide.
“He’s the one”
One of the people in the group who came the first time pointed at Chris hatefully.
On seeing that the one who was pointed at was Chris, the principal couldn’t help but be taken aback. If it was the principal or any other instructor from the Lunar Academy, he would have been a hundred percent confident in doing what he came here for, but in front of Chris, he wasn’t too confident.
Chris is known for his unreasonable conducts, and given his strength, offending him was not a wise choice.
The principal has already come here with a large entourage, there was no way for him to back out now.
