Chapter 300: Medal of Honor (1/2)

Ning teleported back to his room underground. He didn't really know how much time had passed since he read through Trebor's past, but given that it was close to evening time outside, it must've been over 12 hours.

His mood was a little better after learning about little Roid. So, he smiled and went outside. It was time to talk about the system with Eleonora.

He walked out of the underground and was met with almost a hoard of people walking out of the academy.

'All the students are leaving?' Ning thought in surprise. He looked around and saw Jezeere seeing over the leaving students.

”Senior Jezeere, what's going on?” he asked.

”Oh, teacher Ning, we've been looking for you,” Jezeere said.

”What's this?” Ning asked first.

”Oh, the students are leaving for home, and we're overseeing to make sure one of those attackers didn't hide somewhere by some chance,” Jezeere said.

”Oh, is the academy closing down? Or…” Ning asked

”Yes, for 3 months. In the next 3 months, we are looking to improve the security of the sect. Trebor managed to bypass our formations and enter the academy just because he was once allowed to.”

”That led him to turn down all the other security formations too. We're are going to take the time to fix those sort of overlooks,” Jezeere said.

”I see. Well, it's not a bad idea to send the students back home after such a traumatic experience either,” Ning said.

”Anyway, principal Singeer is looking for you. I believe he has a very important message for you,” Jezeere said.

”Oh… okay. Do you know by chance where teacher Eleonora is?” Ning asked.

” Teacher Eleonora? She… I think she left with her brother, not really sure,” Jezeere said.

”She left with her brother? Aw man, I really wanted to talk to her about something. Whatever, I will go check what the Principal wants to say,” Ning said and went over to the underground hall.

He spread his divine sense and quickly located Singeer.

”Principal Singeer, I heard you were looking for me,” Ning said when he ran up to Singeer.

Singeer was with a few people looking at some broken rocks and was quietly talking with them.

”Ah, teacher Ning, you're finally here,” Singeer said.

”What happened here?” Ning asked, looking at the mess.

”Oh, just something that Trebor did. He couldn't shut down some of the defenses, so he opted to destroy it instead,” Singeer said.

”Anyway, where have you been? I got great news for you,” Singeer said.

”Oh? Great you say,” Ning smiled, looking forward to what it was.

”Yes, after learning that you defeated the evil men and especially defeated Trebor, the Emperor wants to award you,” Singeer said loudly.

”…what?” Ning's smile suddenly dropped as his face turned serious.

”Yeah. We told the emperor that you had taken care of the threat, so he decided to have a ceremony where he awards you with a medal of honor,” Singeer said excitedly.

'Fuck!' Ning thought.

”Can I not go?” Ning asked.
