CHAPTER 51
Narrator: Days passed, weeks flew by, and finally, the arena was rebuilt, bigger and more impressive than before.
Teams of 6th and 7th-level mages, with a few 8th-level experts, worked tirelessly to infuse layer upon layer of protective barriers, making it indestructible. Or at least, that was the hope.
Dav: The arena is finally rebuilt! Let's hope no one destroys it again... (chuckling)
Director: (Squinting his eyes) Let’s hope not, damn you!
You have class there today, right...?
Dav: (Wicked smile) I hope you brought a snack, Director. ha ha ha.
Director: (Sighing) I’ll see you there then. (Walks away, waving)
Dav: (Chuckling as he heads to the classroom) Time to take all these brats to the arena.
Narrator: A heavy silence fell in the room.
The students looked at each other, pale.
The memory of the arena’s destruction was still fresh.
What if it happened again?
~ In the Arena ~
Dav: (Shouting) Move those asses, losers!
Hey, you! I told you to raise it higher!
What the hell are you doing?! Did you rust up in a month?! Look at me and copy me!
Narrator: Without hesitation, Dav removed his uniform, revealing his sculpted physique.
His muscles moved with lethal precision as he performed high-speed lunges.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
The students, though exhausted, tried to mimic him without stopping. Some were trembling.
Others were sweating cold.
Statistics of the Day:
Students: 6,328
Escape Attempts: 5,248
Successful Escapes: 0
Dav: (Shouting) Go eat, slaves!
~ In the Cafeteria ~
Valeria: (Playing with her fork) Hey, Dav. More research today?
We’ve almost finished the whole area.
Dav: (Eating) How much do we have left?
Valeria: (Looking at him carefully) With Lucrezia's help... I’d say we’ll finish everything by tomorrow.
Dav: (Decisively) Good. I’ll see you there after.
Narrator: Sitting next to Dav, Iris listened in silence.
A slight veil of jealousy passed through her gaze, but her sweet smile for Dav didn’t falter.
P.S.: They still hadn’t found anything in the library.
~ The Next Day ~
Narrator: Another day in the arena because Professor Kael was occupied with some matters.
Dav continued to push the students to their limits, shirtless, his body slick with sweat, his eyes red with rage.
At one point, some parents entered the arena.
Nobles, here to complain about the treatment of their children. Among them, Sigmund Von Grauer, Cedric’s father.
Sigmund Von Grauer: (Shouting angrily) Who’s responsible here?!
Where is the professor?! I’ll make sure he never teaches here again!
Dav: (Turning slowly, his eyes glowing red with infernal fury) Who’s the bastard shouting?
Who dares interrupt my students?!
Sigmund Von Grauer: (Turning pale with fear, shouting while kneeling) SIR HERO! IT’S AN HONOR TO MEET YOU!
I HOPE I HAVEN’T DISTURBED YOU...
IS MY CEDRIC DOING WELL?! I’LL LEAVE HIM IN YOUR HANDS...
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
Narrator: Long ago, Cedric had told his father about meeting the professor...
but forgot to specify who the professor was.
The training continued, and Cedric felt as though he would die of embarrassment.
He trembled, hoping that Dav wouldn’t change his mind about him.
Dav: (Looking at Cedric, who was embarrassed and sad) Cedric, come here.
Train next to me.
I see you’re struggling.
Cedric: (With sudden joy) I’m coming, sir!
Narrator: After class and lunch, Dav headed to the library to check the last remaining shelf with Valeria and Lucrezia.
They spent many hours there, and Lucrezia fell asleep in Dav’s lap while reading a book about monsters, but they found nothing interesting.
Dav: (Thinking aloud) I wonder if Valeria found anything.
(Moving without waking Lucrezia) That’s the last place to check...
(Looking closely with tired eyes) There’s a small sheet, but no scroll.
(Reading) Ancient language! Finally...
Valeria: (Tired) Did you find anything...?
Dav: (Looking at Valeria with satisfaction, nodding) We’re done.
Lucrezia: (Half-awake) What time is it...? Did you find something?
(Surprised) You found it at last!
(Tired) Tomorrow I’ll start analyzing it, now I’ll die in peace, peace to you too.
Narrator: Dav carried Lucrezia, who was asleep, back to her room with Valeria.
Valeria made sure to undress her and tuck her under the covers while Dav looked at the small parchment or just a piece of paper.
