Chapter 336 - Again!
"…" Eigen's expression darkened as he knew Theo's capability. If this guy were let loose, he and the school would suffer a loss.
Just imagining what would happen when Theo said, "Despite what I have done for the country and the school. They don't support in my progress and try to chain down by forcing to go with their curriculum even though they know it's illegal and they don't have anything to teach anymore."
It might look arrogant, but all people knew the fact already.
And if Theo brought the sympathy card by saying, "It's no wonder why they dared to do that. Even when I was bullied, the school didn't do anything. Only military instructors would judge fairly, as I experienced it once where the instructor punished another student according to the school rule without feeling afraid of the other party's background. It's disappointing."
With those two statents, no one would trust this school anymore and Theo's fans would go crazy. The school would be destroyed and he wouldn't be able to do anything to prevent the catastrophe.
Not only Theo, but all his teammates would also question and might leave the school in that instant. The school might even be closed after this incident. After all, the impact Theo had created in the Grand Gaia Competition was too big.
If such a person couldn't even be treated fairly, why should they even trust the school anymore?
He wanted to catch Theo, but if he took another look, there was one reason why Theo was so confident before him.
Eigen stared at Theo and said, "You are only a clone."
The answer ca in the form of a smile as he said, "I already said what I want."
"…" Eigen gritted his teeth. Looking at Theo again, he realized why Theo could bring the team to third place.
Sweats began to cover his forehead as Eigen finally resigned to his fate.
With a long sigh of disappointnt, he stated, "Alright. I will give you your reward right now."
"Then the skills?"
Eigen clicked his tongue and took out a Skylink as he opened the catalog for Theo to choose.
Theo didn't hesitate and chose two C Rank Skills. "These two."
"Give your docunt."
Theo handed him his docunt.
"That's all. It should be finished within two days and your reward will be sent together with the formal docunt."
Theo smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He let out rough breaths as he really wanted to punch Theo's face. Unfortunately, Theo already disappeared, answering his previous question regarding his identity.
If he continued to press Theo earlier, he would have ruined the school.
He facepald and looked at the docunt on his table.
However, before he could even calm his heart down, soone knocked on the door.
"Principal, this is Mia. May I co in?"
"Co in." Eigen sighed and cald his heart down to avoid worrying other people, albeit his switch flipped again when he saw Alea entering the room with her horoom teacher, Mia.
He was already fuming in anger from Laust and Theo's case. Seeing Alea coming inside just turned everything upside down. He couldn't help but slam the table. "Again?!"
"Hiii!!!" Mia panicked for a second, looking at the fierce anger from Eigen's eyes.
Still, since Alea was behind her, she stuttered in fright. "T-that… I want to say… That Alea is requesting to leave the school."
"Not only Laust Lange and Theodore Griffith, but you are also going to quit too?!" Eigen gritted his teeth and tried to control his rough breaths.
"Theo did?" Alea opened her mouth in amazent before glancing on the table, finding Theo's docunt. "All the more reason why I need to quit the school. The way I am right now won't allow to catch up with Theo. I can't afford to have him leave in the dust just yet.
"In the competition, I realized how useless I am without Theo, so this ti, I'm going to prove myself that I can get stronger," said Alea while adding inwardly, 'I need to know the reason why Theo hates too. I don't think I can sleep peacefully without solving that issue and I don't have much ti before he leaves the country.'
Although Alea didn't know the agreent between him and the seven countries, she knew Theo wanted to leave the country because it was the only way to beco a Supre Rank Expert.
"Do you think what will happen to the school if all of you leave? Can't you even understand that?!" Eigen glared at Alea.
"I know. That's why I am trying to compromise." She nodded. "My grandfather told that there would be huge news from the school, so instead of quitting the school, I am "leaving" for a "mission" until graduation. I will surely return for graduation to show them that I'm still with the school.
"This is the only thing I can do for the school that has helped for two and a half years. I hope that Principal Eigen can understand my situation too and compromise."
Eigen still glared at her, but his heart seed to be calr, knowing that Alea's solution wasn't that bad.
After considering her offers, Eigen said, "I understand. However, you also need to co to the school once every month or every other month, so other students can see you too. And I am going to announce to them that you are on a mission and intense training after seeing the other students around the world that ignite the fla in your heart to get stronger."
Alea nodded. "I understand. It's not like I can stay on the other side for that long either."
"Alright."
Fortunately, Ellen, Sihan, and Phyrill didn't et him as they had no intention of quitting school for the ti being. Or else, no one could predict what Eigen would do.
Knowing that Theo decided to focus on getting stronger, Alea couldn't help but feel the sense of urgency. All the advantage she had was her level, so if she couldn't reach Level 300 by the ti Theo beca a Hero Rank Expert, she was afraid Theo would have far surpassed her by that ti.
After dealing with Eigen, Theo made his way to the other side since he wanted to get a house after lunch.
…
Thirty minutes later.
Theo finally arrived in front of Nart's shop. He opened the door and looked at the nostalgic, silent shop where only two or three people searched for sothing.
He walked to the counter without hesitation and t the old man who seed to have been waiting for him.
"Well, well, well… It seems that you are ready to soar to the sky." Nart smiled. "I guess I have failed to rope you in."
