Chapter 669: Well Deserved Rest (1/2)
”...today marks the end of the Lectures.” Raven said in a solemn tone. ”I have imparted everything that I could to all of you and I also witnessed your dedication and progress. You work hard during this past few months.”
”Congratulations everyone, so long as you keep everything we discussed closely in your heart, reaching your goals wouldn't be impossible. Give yourselves a round of applause.”
The whole audience were feeling a little emotional but celebratory as well. They called along and congratulated each other for their hard work.
”Now, all of you can go ahead and be proud. Do well in your tasks and you will be rewarded. It's been a delight teaching you all. That's all from me.” Raven announced.
”Thank you, Young Lord.” His students replied to him as they all made their way out of the room.
Shortly after, Raven was the only person left. As he cleaned-up the room before he leaves, he couldn't help but to feel a little melancholic but also gratified.
”Alright, that pretty much vacates my schedule from now. Aside from a few touch-ups in other areas, I'm on my way to being completely free.” Raven muttered to himself, as he finished out cleaning the room.
He returned to his desk and couldn't help but to recall the past few months.
It had been a little hectic but it was all for the greater good of the sect. He became a lecturer in order to raise everybody's survival against their enemies. The more skilled and stronger everybody is, the better it would be for the overall chances of the sect to survive.
Raven didn't hesitate to pile-up work for himself, he had been incredibly busy that he didn't even have enough time to rest but it's all good. He didn't mind it since he could endure this much at least.
Now that he had taught everything he could to his students, the rest is up to them. Raven already showed them the path to the peak, so long as they work hard, they'd be able to reach it too.
Now that his lectures are over, the defense of the sect both inside and out is completely up to his standards, the resources were secured by the Sect Master and Grand Elder, and all potential inner threats were removed, Raven's schedule was mostly vacant and it would stay like this for quite sometime.
He had done everything he could according to his plans. The only thing that would really occupy him was the paperwork but he already has his Avatars and Kyrie settling that. His spy network his also manned by his Avatars as well and they could inform him about the recent changes as soon as he could.
Raven was free. He could now dedicate his time in training and once he's up to standards, he could even receive the baptism at the Celestial Ascension Platform.
Once he cleaned-up the room, Raven returned to his desk, kept the books he had and exited the room, locking the doors behind him.
He then made his way towards his pocket dimension only to find out that he has visitors.
”Oh, he's here...”
---
”Eh? Elder Flame wants to meet me?” Raven was quite surprised at the sudden news Theo brought to him.
His visitors were his usual ones, Henry, Logan, Theo and Charles. They were gathered on Raven's gorgeous yard, bathing in fake sunlight as they enjoyed their drinks and pastries.
”Well, he said that you can visit him whenever you are free. What he meant by that is he's going to give you an errand that might take some time to finish so you better vacate your schedule for at least a month before going there.” Theo explained.
”Listen to him. He's the closest lackey of Elder Flame, he understands him better than everyone else.” Henry advised seriously.
”His timing is great, I just finished my last lecture. I don't really have much to do from now on.” Raven replied as he took a sip of his tea.
”Lucky you.” Logan grumbled.
”Indeed.” Charles sighed.
Yeah, these two are the one's next on the list when it comes to being busy. Unlike Raven, it would take a long time before these two can be freed from their responsibilities since they are in-charge of raising the combat prowess of the disciples with the Formations Raven created.
