Chapter 225: Ways to rank up (2/2)

After a chuckle, ”Thanks for your time Mr. Crimson Agila. We shall leave you now as you look like you have an important business needed to do.” Damian then glanced at Cinde. ”See you, lost puppy.”

Cinde knitted her brows and frowned. Yman, on the other hand, just smiled wryly. He wanted to ask Prince Damian if Rea was in the council room, but he decided not.

After Prince Damian and his friends left, Yman and Cinde continued to the Student Council room.

From the outside, they could hear their voices. Looks like they have just finished discussing the future competition.

Yman remembered he needed to return soon to the Human City Zone 7. The inside competition was about to begin in that academy.

After Yman and Cinde knocked on the door, they heard someone's permission to come in.

Around this time, in Human City Zone 7, the academy staff were also busy planning the coming competition.

The instructors were busy training their trainees. On the other hand, those who explored the dungeon still did not return. Mostly, exploration would take a week as the shortest possible days and longest was months.

But Almina and the others just came out of the dungeon. It only took them 3-4 days as they needed to train in the academy. After all, they were still trainees.

Each of them was exhausted as they came out, but everyone noticed that they matured somehow. Looks like some of them were able to advance to some level.

It was noticeable also that their magical aura had raised considerably. Even Bob and his party members had a noticeable difference in growth.

However, their exploration wasn't a smooth one. Bob's party and Kiko's party argue a lot. It was thanks to Almina's party that the issue did not go big and was always settled.

If not because of Almina, a brawl between these parties were unavoidable.

The most who have great advancements among them all were Almina, Maena, and Kiko.

These three people have now reached level 10 or False Path expert.

Kiko was very happy, there were occasions that he was able to converse with Almina.

Although, when he tried to open up a conversation about her likes and such, she would occasionally divert the topic about their fighting styles, skills, monsters, and etcetera.

He sighed. Anyhow, it was a good start to make a friendly conversation with her. However, he wanted to know if she truly likes him. Almina seemed to be not the type of person who was openly expressing her thoughts, especially about her love interest.

It was so depressing for Kiko, he wanted to know her feelings towards him. But he could not force it on her. He wanted Almina to be the one expressing her feelings first to him.

Upon realizing that Almina was not the type of person who would do that. He started to change his plan. Now he had to be friendly to her.

As long as in the end she would fall into his hands, all his hard work would be worth it.

Aside from the talk about love, Kiko's other priority was to gain more influence in the Sun family. Now that he finally reached the first path of advancements, his influence in the Sun family would surely grow.

If things kept going the way it was, all his dreams would be not just a dream. They would soon come into reality.

No.

He would make sure that it would come to reality. Especially that hateful person was already out of the picture.

Kiko shook his head to get rid of that person's name in his mind. That person was just an unnecessary extra that did not need to be mentioned anymore. Everyone already forgot that person existed.

Kiko shook his head once again, he needed to clear his mind.

He almost perfected his new ultimate skill, thanks to his advancement to a False Path Expert, it was easier to control his mana.

When night came, Kiko went to the rooftop of the private building that his family bought inside the city.

He sat cross-legged and started his meditation. His body was immediately enveloped by a brilliant magical aura. After it, he went into deep concentration.

In his mind, the coming competition, he would make sure to come out as the new Ace of this academy.

Around this time, Almina and the others also did their meditation in each of their homes. Almina and Maena finally mastered the second stage of Perfect Breathing, and now in the process of perfecting the third stage.

The exploration helped them a lot to understand the first and second stages of it.
