Child of Destiny



...…

"Alright, that is for today's morning class," said Professor Kyrie as she stood in front of the lecture hall, concluding the class.

But before she dismissed everyone, she reminded them once more. "Don't forget to occasionally inject your energies into your Energy Conductors. You have to regularly check the changes in your energies and monitor it to understand it very well."

Picking up her tablet, she nodded to everyone. "Class dismissed! You can head over to the activity field to meet your training instructor for the afternoon class later after you have your lunch."

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "See you tomorrow," she added as she walked to exit the lecture hall.

The moment she left, the students started standing up one after another and got ready to leave. But before going to have their lunch, they first went to the locker room to change their clothes into a martial art suit.

"Ah! Finally! Some physical exercise, I hope we are going to do something fun this time!" said Arthur as he walked out of the men's locker room.

Beside him, Leonard was currently fixing the short sleeves of his martial art clothes while responding. "I doubt that we will immediately do something too advanced. Based on the syllabus, our physical exercise will be the continuation of the lesson that we have in the morning."

"Tsk! Then it is going to be boring," said Arthur as immediately became disappointed.

Following behind them, Molton walked out of the locker room and added. "I think the next class will be related to energy circulation. Or at least the activity that we are going to have."

He then started murmuring to himself as if he was a scientist that constantly had new ideas inside his head. "By constantly circulating and controlling the energies within our bodies, the more familiar we become with it-…."

Arthur shook his head when he saw that before feeling pity for this junior brother of his. Or should he say-… little brother? When his mind thought about it, he started fantasizing about the future that he was going to have alongside his beautiful wife.

Leonard gave Arthur a weird look. Unfortunately, the latter did not care about him and continued to let his imagination run wild.

It was at this moment when Shin's voice sounded behind them. "What are we going to have for our lunch?"

The duo finally snapped out of their thoughts when they heard his words and quickly turned to him. Shin looked at them with a confused gaze before giving Leonard an inquiring look.

Leonard shook his head, indicating that he did not want to say anything. And when Shin saw that, he shrugged his shoulders before leading them to the meeting place where they agreed with the girls.

They went to find a place to take a seat while waiting. Given their looks and their unique and attractive demeanor that they had, it was impossible for them not to attract the attention of the passerby, especially the female students.

With such a group of eye candy sitting on the side of the road, they could not help but look at them. They were not shy about enjoying the sight that was given to them. Some of the female students could not help but bend their heads as they were walking by while the others even boldly shook their hips as they went past the group.

The innocent Molton could not help but lower his head and did not dare to look anywhere due to those vulgar actions. This was the first time he experienced this, so he could not help but feel shy, embarrassed, and a little ashamed of those girls.

The three were already used to this so they were doing pretty well. But despite all of that, Arthur was still clicking his head in dissatisfaction, especially when he saw the seductive looks that the passing girls were giving them. He hated gold diggers the most, so he did not hide his disgust.

Leonard, on the other hand, got himself in a more comfortable sitting position before taking a quick nap. He was acting as if nothing was going around him

Meanwhile, Shin ignored what was happening around him and focused on browsing something with his advanced watch. It was projecting a screen where an online forum was shown. It was surprising that he was looking at the official forum of the game at a time like this.

He was checking if there was something new added in the game – looking if there was some additional update. Unfortunately, there was nothing and the developers mystified the new update for as much as they could.

From the looked of it, the developers were still planning to do some hidden updates that could only be explored when the game servers were up.

Then a little commotion occurred in the distance, making the boys raise their heads. Then they saw four beautiful young women walking toward their direction while attracting the attention of everyone around them, particularly the male students that were bending their heads to follow their movements.

Arthur could not help but chuckle at the scene while commenting. "Wherever you go, beautiful girls are still the best sight that you can see."

"They are just walking, yet the guys on the side were almost losing their minds. Moreover, they were only wearing a martial suit of all things," he added as he stood up and got ready to leave.

Shin sighed before also getting up, closing the projected screen with his advanced watch. He looked at the girls approaching them before asking. "So, where are going to eat? Any suggestions?"

Cloe quickly hopped forward and stood in front of Shin with great familiarity before saying. "Anything is fine. Do we have to try the school cafeteria?"

Shin looked at the others with inquiring gaze, asking for their opinion.

Arthur thought deeply, considering the option, while Leonard just shrugged his shoulders, telling the others that anything would work fine with him. Alice and Lorraine also did not care and would go with the group.

Jillian thought for a moment before saying. "The academy is very huge and has a lot of restaurants inside. Most of them are founded by the alumni of the school, who are either the head or famous members of the food and gourmet clubs."

"They even collaborated with the hunter clubs and issued a couple of missions in the Mission Hall, for fresh ingredients," she added as he tried to recall the things that her big sister had told her.

"Sounds interesting, should we try one?" Arthur quickly responded, nothing hiding the fact that he was always paying attention to whatever Jillian say. He was even stealthy moving his near her with a seemingly casual movement.

Jillian was able to quickly see through his plan and skillfully sidestepped away while continuing. "There are a couple of restaurants that are quite famous in the continent. We can try one of them if you guys want."historical

"Sounds good, let's try one!" responded Cloe excitedly, looking forward to trying those restaurants.

In the meantime, Shin's mind was occupied with something else. The thing that his ears caught from what Jillian had said was the collaborative work by those former members of the food and gourmet clubs and the hunter clubs.

He started to understand the structure and task distribution of the school clubs. He found it rather interesting and thought about how would this work with the other clubs, especially the ones that centered on entertainment just like their music club. There were also those art clubs and something similar.

He became curious about how the academy was using these clubs to benefit them, assigning tasks that concerned some of the issues in the continent. After all, the missions issued by the academy were meant to hone the skills and abilities of the students.

Seeing that Shin was lost in his thoughts, Cloe frowned, Leonard raised his brows while Arthur strode forward with a single step while trying to throw a punch.

Shin quickly sensed the incoming fist and slightly tilted his head to the side, casually avoiding it. He then looked at Arthur with a confused look before realizing what just happened. He chuckled and waved his hand before telling them that they could go.

But before they could take a step, Shin's senses suddenly picked up an intense killing intent directed at him. He quickly halted his feet and swiftly turned around, looking in the direction where the killing intent was coming from.

Unfortunately, the killing intent only lasted for an instant, so it quickly disappeared the moment when he turned around, making him fail to find the owner of it.

Moreover, it seemed like he was the only one who sensed the killing intent, giving him the idea that the person behind it was very skilled and had high control.

Seeing him suddenly stop, the others could not help but halt in their tracks and turn back to him. They look at Shin confusedly, seemingly finding it odd for him to continuously act strangely.

"Hey! What is wrong?" asked Arthur fully confused.

Shin noticed that none of them noticed the killing intent and fell into thought. And after a brief moment, he shook his head. "It is nothing. It must be my imagination."

After that, he caught up to them and urge them to move. And when the others saw that there was nothing wrong, they brushed off their curiosity and resumed their steps.

When they left, an average-looking male student walked out from behind a tree in the distance, watching the group walk away. He focused his gaze on Shin's back before saying in a quiet voice. "Fancy seeing you here. I wonder how the others will react when they find out that you are actually in this place?"

After that, he started walking away, going in the opposite direction while thinking about something. And after a few moments, he started grinning widely as if he thought of something fun.

His face was somewhat reflecting an expression similar to when a kid found their new toy.
