138 Idris Kingdom Team Part 2 (1/2)
Finally returning to a peaceful state, Greyson basked in the sunlight. The higher up he was, the colder the air. Although the source of light was still there, he could no longer feel any warmth. Looking towards the rest of the group resting or meditating, Greyson felt swept up into the atmosphere. Normally, he was not the type to just rest without staying cautious or meditating. At this moment, however, he felt the desire to rest. Closing his eyes slowly, all the accumulated exhaustion lulled him right to sleep.
Lucius could sense the state of his friend and opened one eye in curiosity. Snorting his nose, he muttered to himself that this guy was such a child. Yet, in the midst of his criticism, he still climbed on top of Greyson and kept his senses sharp. After a little while, he actually felt a hard stare directed towards Greyson. Opening his eyes, he quickly glanced in the direction only to make eye contact with that newcomer. Who was he again? Lucius was still napping earlier so he only heard half the conversation. Hmmm... Quinn, was it? What was he staring at Greyson for? It was not exactly full of evil intention or malevolence, but the two of them had never met each other before this morning. Quinn actually did not flinch after meeting eyes with Lucius and just gave him a lopsided smile with a nod as a greeting. Not immediately trusting of this new character, Lucius did not respond and before turning his head and closing his eyes once more. He would have to make sure to pay attention to this suspicious fellow later.
With Zephyr's speed, they were already approaching the capital after a day. By the time Greyson woke up, the morning son had risen signaling the next day. It really had been a while since he slept for so long. Looking down at his chest, he saw Lucius just lazing there. Rolling his eyes, he picked up the cat by his neck fur and tossed him further away. Indignant, the silver cat bristled angrily and hissed. Sending a quick mental shout, he protested such rough treatment.
”Hey! Of all the ungrateful humans I have ever met, you are most definitely the worst!”
”Are you sure I'm not the only human you know? Anyways, says the cat who always uses my body as his personal walking bed.”
”While that is true most times, this time I was keeping the lookout for you. Aren't you too old to just be sleeping without your defenses up?!”
”Oh? A sleeping lookout? Well, aren't I just so grateful that I could die? I am amazed by such prowess. Who knew one could even fake drooling while staying completely sharp?” Greyson sent back with heavy irony. Spluttering at a loss for words, Lucius did admit that he had fallen asleep for real at one point. But he really did keep thte lookout for a while, okay! He even caught that new guy staring. Thinking of this, he wanted to quickly defend himself by saying this, but he ended up stopping himself. Really, he had no place to complain of the injustice. Greyson had about all the sublety of the sun in a dark room. Lucius knew that the minute he told Greyson there was something suspicious about Quinn, he would have his guard up in a heartbeat. There was nothing wrong with being cautious; but if your are so obvious about it, then the target of your suspicions will be alerted and put more effort into hiding.
Although it hurt to eat this helping of criticism, he decided to be the bigger cat and let it go.
'Haahh, it's really hard being so unappreciated.'
Seeing Lucius go silent, Greyson turned his attention to his position. Surveying the environment, he tried to pinpoint where they were. Spotting a couple familiar landmarks, he knew that they were drawing close to the capital. Actually, the capital was not too far from Academy City since Aurora Academy was the top academy in the Snow Country. Those of the royal family did not attend only because the best teachers and resources were hoarded and kept within the palace to prevent the subjects from growing too strong. But some of the young heirs from the other Tier 1 Kingdoms attended the academy. They did not come with Greyson and the rest because they went back home to represent their own kingdoms. It just happens that most of the heirs to the 10 families were on the younger side so Greyson was only acquainted with them. There were some older heirs from the other kingdoms that are graduates of the Academy after reaching the magister level. It was because of his own antisocial ways and the fact that he was so young that Greyson was not really aware of the possible competition. Outside of the 10 families, he did not know about the other powerful and talented geniuses in the Snow Country. Speaking of this, he was even ignorant about the royal family of the Idris Kingdom. The identities of the rest of the group was still a complete mystery to him as he did not know the ages or talents of the princes and princesses of the kingdom.
Peeking at his teacher, Greyson decided it was better to ask late than never. Deep down, he knew that Sweetbow was waiting for him to ask so that he could show off his extensive knowledge.
”Teacher, do you know what the rest of the team will be like?”
A smirk creeped up on the corners of Sweetbow's mouth.
”Oh?” he asked. ”You don't know?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
'I knew it.” Greyson scoffed inwardly.
”Yes, teacher, can you tell me? I'm really curious about their identities and power levels.” Acting the part of the obedient student, Greyson looked at Sweetbow expectantly.
