49 Familiar Faces (2/2)

Puzzled by the information, Christian set the thought to the back of his mind and when he returned back to the school, would he look for more information.

His first priority was to lay low and not create any useless enmity. Even if there was any animosity directed at him, he made it his first concern to eliminate or cripple that force.

With all those reason behind, Christian still couldn't understand how someone could retaliate with crippled strength or dead corpse.

A hypothesis he thought was that this could be the use of forbidden magic that allowed the two enemies to somehow resurrect as he remembered that there are indeed methods that allow atrocities to be created.

Although it was very unlikely since this world shouldn't contain the possibilities of making or passing on a heritage for revival.

Revival was a possibility but Christian still couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't recognize such faces despite having a high cultivation foundation

The only valid reason he could accept was that they were like him.

It was unfortunate that Anne and Pierre had yet to know that Christian accidentally discovered Dean's existence but for a different reason.

Thinking more about the two people, Christian wanted to know why they tried to sabotage him but sleep was what he first needed.

Pondering would do nothing but disrupt his state of mind.

Christian thought to himself

'Happy thoughts...Imperial Court...'

...

Morning had risen and many students who were now prepared to face a monster, emitted a stronger sense of will power.

They ate their food with a sense of serene peace and chatted with their friends in a delightful tone.

Everyone had gotten a good night rest as they thought the fight would be a cinch with the strategies that were provided and the positivity boost from friends.

Greeting were sent to anybody that walked past in the hopes of creating good morale.

Christian nodded at the sight.

His soldiers were well rested, healthy, full of nutrients, hydrated and are confident. What more could Christian want?

Pierre had reported that all 50 students were now awake and fed.

Once the preparations were done, Christian led his men to gallop across the distance towards a very rural town.

It was in ruins

Christian had been desensitized to such scenes when he remembered his dad. His real dad would drag him to wastelands to learn that life was tough and you were nothing to the heavens.

Compared to him, a few people in the group gasped in surprise as a few teared up when they saw the limbs of humans.

The sobbing echoed within the silent village that was now in shambles

Pierre looked around for any evidence of the Horned Viper Murderer and just out of the corner of his eye did he saw a beast.

It was unfathombly large and Christian had also noticed it when Pierre suddenly stopped.

Acting as a chain reaction, Anne noticed and now the whole group noticed.
