Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra

Chapter 217 217:A Teacher's Plight

The lavish room was adorned with opulent tapestries.

Shimmering chandeliers made of diamonds hung from the ceiling and shone like a bright sun, casting a warm and resplendent glow throughout the room keeping the temperature warm and cozy. The walls were adorned with tasteful, artwork and richly partnered wallpapers or luxurious tapestries.

At the centre, on a plush, velvet bed, a pale sickly figure slept with many layers of cult covering her.

At one end, a man with a deep frown and worry sat, staring with deep melancholy eyes.

"My sweet precious doll. My heart is tearing apart seeing you like this.'' Kevin's eyes became teary as he saw the pale sickly white Julian lying unconscious. She looked like someone suffering from anemia, someone who had a shortage of blood.

He clenched the sheet tights as his heart raged in furry imagining the scene of the pain her daughter went through.

'I want to kill...I want to wipe everyone who dares to lay hands on my precious girl. What kind of vicious heartless bastard dared to do this.'

"Your Majesty!"

Kevin snapped out of his and stared at the girl who was checking on Julian's condition.

Contrary to the pale and ghostly appearance of the girl whom he had seen before, she looked more like a proper well-groomed lady this time which even startled him as she came here.

She was a gem that he found by chance.

A person who has the highest spiritual sensitivity in the world. However, this also brought many problems and presently they had no solution to cure the side effects of this.

The priest may provide temporary relief by curing insomnia and helping her to sleep but the repeated treatment of blessings became useless once the body was used to it.

'It seems she had found a way to lessen her spirit sensitivity.'

Kevin, seeing Shiya finishing checking up, asked worriedly.

"Shiya, how is it? Is she well? Is there any problem or hidden injury?"

Shiya, after checking Julian using her spirit sense, stood up and bowed her head.

"Your Majesty, there seemed to be signs of soul inju..."

The temperature of the room fell below by several margins and an aura of oppression suffocated Shiya.

Shiya's back was drenched in sweat. Though she wanted to raise her head to take a look, she did not dare to do that.

"She is alright now. Her soul injury is hearing quickly and she might wake up after a few days of rest. Probably 10 days at best." Shiya explained quickly with a bitter expression.

Kevin inching closer towards Julian, caressed his lovely daughter's head and asked sharply.

"How is her soul injured?"

Shiya took a moment to explain,"Your Majesty, it seems an external force tried to pull out the spirit in the natal soul."

Kevin's body flinched back and he gave Shiya a startled look.

"Spirit...Is it that Guardian...Someone wants to snatch the spirit?" Kevin muttered to himself in a discordant voice.

"According to the description of the children. The Evil spirit with a flower body of tentacles must be the Evil Heavenly Spirit Abacharu that the Dark Church summoned and might have helped the Dark Church to extract the Guardian Spirit."

"Is there any remaining influence of that bastard on my girl?" Kevin asked with deep worry.

"Don't worry Your Majesty, I have cut off that remaining will that tainted Princess. If possible please ask a priest to cast a purifying spell on her."

"Hmmm!" Kevin nodded and got up from his seat.

He stared at Julian again and locked his gaze on Shiya.

"If this matter is leaked out, you should know the repercussions," Kevin warned Shiya, making her tremble.

"Not a soul will know about this, "Shiya answered, nodding her head politely.

Kevin gave a brief nod and walked out of the place.

Upon walking out of the room, he was greeted by the sight of Josh and Kai arguing with one another while Ami stood aside bowing her head giving space to these two as they cursed one another.

Noticing Kevin, Ami sneaked in and asked with a troubled expression"Your Majesty, Her Highness."

"She is alright no.."Kevin's speech was interrupted by Kai's loud screams.

"It's all because of your incompetence."

"Godly...Godly artifact...My shit. What kind of lousy Tower is this to the point that any Tom, Harry, Garry can come in and go according to their wishes?" Kai cursed aloud.

"You are saying it as if this Tower was made by me. What did you think of me? Do you think I'm the watchkeeper of the Tower?" Josh refuted, stabbing his staff on the floor.

"Isn't this what it means to be Vice-Principal? Is it just a sophisticated word for a person who watches over students." Kai sneered waving his hand.

Kai stepped forward and patted Josh's shoulder and said,"Listen, old man, just accept your mistake.Remember what you taught us."

"Acceptance is the first step towards greatness." Kai who spoke with a smug expression suddenly withdrew his hand seeing Josh's darkened expression.

"Do you know what I regret the most?"

"Not being able to woo a single girl?" Kai added.

Pfft!

Josh and Kai turned their heads and saw Kevin trying to maintain his stoic expression but his twitching lips gave it away.

Ami closed her lips with her palm trying to control her smile and looked around.

'It is good that there are no knights present here currently or all of them might have been killed today.'

Josh gritted his teeth to the point that veins were bulging over his neck.

His gaze interchanged between Kevin and Kai as he shouted,"The biggest regret of my life is accepting this position of Vice-Principal after that old guy dumped it and became your teacher."

"I still have nightmares of the days when you four fuckers ate half of my life span."

As Josh spoke, his eyes became teary, remembering the deeds of the four figures.

He was a personal disciple of the Principal who was made Vice-Principal before the age of 40. His first two years went smoothly but after that….

Four menaces entered the academy at the same time.

During those academy days, Kevin would skip class and go around playing missing for days while he would be scolded by the late Emperor.

Josh's gaze then lingered on Kai as he tried to control himself from slapping him.

This bastard would be busy chasing skirts. From girls in his class to seniors and from teachers to nurses, this guy flirts with all.

He inherited his charm from his mother who was half-demon succubus. This guy's charms spread all around the Empire to the point that many girls would line outside the gate creating chaos and commotions for him to take care of.

If these two weren't enough, then there was Frank. That shithead was a fighting brute that would open an area and would challenge everyone everyday disrupting classes.

And at last, came that fucker Leonard. At first glance, one may think of him as an obedient, sincere and responsible human who manages to control these three, however…

That guy was simply a leech. His viciousness was beyond when compared to these three.

When Frank set up sparring matches, he would set up a gambling table at the side. When Kai started courting girls, he would gamble by asking everyone to gamble on how many girls Kai could woo a day or how many girls from outside would come to visit Kai. When Kevin comes back to the academy after strolling, under his guidance people would start gambling on the number of days Kevin would be able to persist before running away again.

Simply, within two years that bastard turned Horizon into a gambling den.

And if this wasn't enough, he stole things from Horizon and sold them in the black market. Once, he took an A-rank artifact for personal use but sold it off in a black market auction for 1.2 billion R.

Unable to curb this, he resigned from his fate and let him do as he pleased on the account of giving 40% of profit to Horizon. But, in doing so, he took advantage of his name and spread that it was his command under which he was organizing gambling.

It was only then he knew that he was made a scapegoat by Leonard.

Sniff…Sniff…

'Are these things what a student should do? It's just too much for me to handle all this. It seems that the old man knew of this disaster that was about to come and ran, dumping his shit on me.'

Seeing Josh breaking down with trauma seizures, Kevin reacted immediately.

"Teacher, we were young and ignorant at that time. Don't hang up on the past. We have become sensible now."

"Old man, stop crying like a girl. We have important matters to handle. We don't have time to take care of your tantrum." Kai spoke, folding his arms behind his head with a nonchalant look.

"Look, this is the sensibility you spoke of?" Josh chided with a fierce glare.

Swoosh!

Kevin, who tried to calm him down, stopped noticing Brian's presence.

"Report." Kevin asked.

"Your Majesty, we have caught the noble houses as per your order."

Kevin stared at Josh, who gave him a brief nod.

"Make them kneel in the Throne room." Kevin spoke coldly.

"As per your wish." Brian nodded and his image blurred as he vanished out of thin air leaving a gust of air.

"Teacher, take care of Horizon and make sure that the students are safe and sound. It might be difficult for them to cope after such a scene."

"Kai, you and Frank keep an eye on the nobles. Don't let anyone cause trouble this time and try to keep tabs on Duke White and Duke Holmes."

Kevin, who was about to leave, looked at Ami and ordered,"Surround this place with Knights. Don't let a single individual enter here until I return."

"Um…Your Majesty, what if that boy…" Ami shut her lips seeing Kevin's darkened expression.

"Kick hi-" Kevin stopped thinking about the boy.

"Let that guy go after strict checking."

'Maybe, I can know something if I allowed him to stay with Julian, in case he spoke something, finding no one.'

Kevin after relating a few orders left under Kai and Josh's bewildered gaze.

"Old man, who is this guy he is talking about?" Kai asked with curiosity.

"I dont know."

"Then what the hell do you know? You don't even know what happens under your eyes. Who the hell made you the Vice-Principal?"

"I am the Vice-Principal, not their bodyguard or parents who had to keep them under tabs."

Ami shook her head, seeing Kai and Josh started quarreling again.
