Chapter 43: The Perfect Cosmic Ar (1/2)

Two black dots flew over from the distance at this moment, both males. As they descended quickly, Eddy grew excited, “Senior Raas, I’m here! Senior Raas!”

“What are you shouting for? Who is it?” Lu Yin smacked him in the back of the head.

The youth glared back, “Your death! Senior Raas is an expert from Yu Academy, you aren’t his match. Release me now, and I’ll ask him to be lenient.”

Yu Academy? Lu Yin’s gaze turned heavier as he looked back at the two new arrivals. That was home to the Empire’s true elites, an institution that groomed the best of the best.

Outside the capital, the man who had descended first was still measuring his surroundings from his original spot. Floating in the sky as they observed Lu Yin and the rest, one of the newcomers stepped forward, “Actually getting captured by natives, Eddy. You’re a stain on Yu Academy’s reputation. So useless!”

Eddy’s expression immediately turned ugly, but he gritted his teeth and lowered his head. The other man waved his hand and looked down calmly, “Who captured him? Let everyone go, and I’ll spare your life.”

“He’s your senior?” Lu Yin asked in the city.

Eddy grew excited, “Yes, Senior Raas is no average expert either. His father is the Vice Treasurer of the Great Yu Empire! Lord Sicar has gathered many battle techniques for him; across all of Yu Academy, he’s second only to the Melders.”

Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed, “Vice Treasurer? His family must be loaded.”

Eddy stared blankly. That wasn’t the point! However, Lu Yin continued to stare longingly at Raas; he still had a huge deficit of star crystals, only earning eight cubes in total off all the students. Could this Raas give him a surprise? As for the power that Eddy had mentioned, Lu Yin was not too concerned. While his senses screamed danger at the first guy, this Raas gave off a much milder impression.

“That guy feels different...” Zhang Dingtian suddenly said, prompting Lu Yin to look back at the first arrival whose aura had completely faded into the average Joe. There wasn’t even the slightest feeling of danger anymore; that had evaporated the moment Raas and the others had approached.

Raas frowned up above, “What, are you not going to release them? Or do you think you’re actually capable of protecting this place?”

“Senior Raas, the criminal seems to have left something in this city. As long as we control this place, he’ll definitely return!” Eddy shouted. His defeat and the arrival of the second batch of trainees had completely crushed any dreams he had held of completing the mission; he stood to gain more if he could make Raas owe him a favor, and it could even give him some backing for the future.

Raas’s eyes gleamed and he smiled, “Is that so? Looks like my luck isn’t bad; I happened to land somewhere good.”

Down below, the man picked up some mud and sniffed it, “Blood.”

Raas’s face sank, “Friend, let’s get to know each other, I’m the son of the Great Yu Empire’s Vice Treasurer Sicar.”
