The next day inside the Royal Academy wasn't much eventful because after the practical exam students were tired. So of them spent their day inside their rooms on the beds sleeping while so went outside for fun.
The second and third-year students mostly took so missions and left the Academy to enjoy so nearby restaurants or markets.
The mid-term results would be announced a few days later that's why they were roaming around before they suffered the consequences of their bad results.
In front of the mission hall, Nine wore a gloomy expression as he tried to step inside to get a mission only to get a glare from the person in charge.
'Damn it! My life has gone downhill after a single mission with Kyle, Alec, and Carcel.'
'I promise from now on I am not going to invite them whenever I am going outside.'
He grumbled inwardly and decided to leave because even after arguing with the person in charge he didn't get anywhere.
After walking for a while, he kicked a nearby pebble.
"They are all sleeping like logs! Now I don't know what to do."
In the morning, he knocked on Kyle's door only to see the latter sleeping without any care. As usual, he wanted to barge inside Kyle's room and make him sober but it seed Kyle was prepared because he slamd the door shut the mont Nine tried to enter his room.
With an annoyed expression, Nine left Kyle alone and went to check on Alec and Carcel but it seed today was the day he would be alone because they also shut their doors on his face.
"Tsk... I want to leave the academy. I want to see a lot of fresh water. I want to.."
His voice trailed off as he gazed at a group of students nearby.
A purple-haired youth wearing a second-year uniform was walking toward the north with three more students.
Nine narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw the familiar round glasses on the purple-haired youth's eyes.
A smile appeared on his face and he hurriedly waved his hand at the purple-haired individual who was busy talking with his friends.
"Senior Blane!"
Blane almost freaked out when he heard a loud shout nearby. He settled his glasses at looked at the person who called him.
"Nine?"
He smiled politely seeing a familiar junior. He knew Nine as they interacted with each other before they entered the Tower. It was a pity that, unlike the too powerful first-year students, only two students from the second year returned alive from the Tower but Blane was happy to return safely.
He waved back as he didn't know why Nine was waving at him out of nowhere.
One of Blane's classmates who was standing beside him frowned.
"Hey Blane, the smile on his face is giving a bad vibe."
"Huh? The smile.. now that you ntioned it does look a little evil..."
Blane blinked his eyes. His friends gestured for him to leave but Nine sped up and instantly arrived in front of him with a grin.
"Seniors, where are you going?"
Blane sighed and assured his friends that Nine wasn't a bad guy. Afterward, he looked at Nine with a smile.
"We are going outside to have so fun. What about you."
Nine smirk widened.
"Senior, I am free take with you as well."
"Huh? You want to co with us but we are going a little further from the Academy because we have to complete a mission as well by killing so mud monsters."
"It's okay senior. You can do whatever you want I am just going to roam around for a while then we can return together."
Nine said with a smile. Blane thought for a while. His friends were reluctant but after speaking with them and getting their permission he agreed.
With Blane and the other second-year students Nine walked toward the Academy gate. When they arrived in front of the gate, Nine purposely hid behind the group who showed the guard their mission page.
After they left the Academy, the guard standing at the gate narrowed his eyes when he saw Nine fading figure.
"Why does that kid look familiar?"
The guard whispered but then he recalled the warning he received a few days ago. His eyes widened slightly.
"He was one of the students who were banned from stepping outside the Academy!"
He wanted to stop the kids but the group had already gone far.
"I am not allowed to leave the gate. Sigh, I need to tell the Elder."
He massaged his temples and hurriedly grabbed a student from nearby to send the ssage to the person who warned him a few days ago to not let the banned students go outside the academy.
On the other hand, Blane looked back at Nine.
"We are going this...."
He stopped midway and looked around his friends. Nine was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did he go?"
He and his group mbers looked around for a while but they didn't see Nine at all. In the end, they left the area because they had to visit so places before completing the mission.
....
Next day early morning, Blane and the trio return to the Academy with satisfied expressions. They talked about the places they visited while laughing.
Their mission was complete but the mont they entered the Academy a black-haired old man stopped their path with narrowed eyes.
They all stopped and looked at the old man with confused expressions but their confusion was replaced with horror when the old man said that they had to run one hundred rounds along the Academy walls.
"Wh..y?"
Blane said with disbelief. One hundred rounds! It was too much because the Academy was huge! He wasn't even sure if he and his friends would survive after they finished running!
"Because you all helped a student who was banned from going outside. Start running or else I am going to increase the number..."
Blane looked at his friends who were cursing him inwardly. He wanted to cry.
All the students who took a mission were inford about so banned students but he didn't listen carefully to who those students were that's why he agreed to Nine request.
'I should have known sothing was amiss the mont Nine smiled so evilly!'
He cried inwardly and started running with his friends who were staring daggers at his back.
The old man looked at their backs and sighed. After getting the news about Nine he instantly inford the Vice Principal but the latter only chuckled and said not to worry about Nine because he had a guardian following behind him outside the Academy.
"Anyway, I need to punish these kids a little. The banned student's nas were written inside the hall how did they miss it."
