Chapter 156: Academic Troubles

Meanwhile, tensions were rising in Contingent. After what happened with Ashton, not a single soul dared to stand up against the nobles who were still attending the academy. The students were only aware that Ashton had been expelled from the academy and was training somewhere else. Which more or less meant he was gone for good. 

What they didn't know was that he was now working as an adventurer and gaining more and more powers and abilities as days passed. But why was Ashton still a source of tension in the academy? The answer was pretty simple.

While Ashton was attending the academy, all of the nobles more or less had their focus solely on him. But with him gone, the bullies had to look for new targets. Especially those who had their eyes set on the bounty which was placed on Ashton's head.
