บท 6: Season 1 Episode 6: Trouble Arrives!
"Did you guys hear the news? Claude Rayforth killed Aldrich Winfrey!" A student whispered to his classmate beside him.
"I heard it too, he really killed him." The student clenched his chest with a pale face.
"There were many people who saw him do it. Aldrich was bullying him. Trying to beat him up. Guess he just snapped. Apparently he had been cultivating in secret, waiting for the right opportunity to strike, and decapitated him immediately!"
"That's not all. Even after killing him, Claude didn't get in trouble nor did he get expelled. You would think that Elder Thomas would've done something by now, but it seems that he doesn't care about his nephew that much."
"Actually, I heard from someone that Elder Thomas did in fact try to get Claude expelled. But it didn't work out."
"Oh really? What happened? Isn't Claude just an outer disciple? I thought he didn't have any influential background."
"Yeah I thought the same, but apparently he got scouted by the second elder. It seems that the elder picked him as a helper of some sort. Saved him from the hands of Elder Thomas."
"Are you for real?"
"I'm serious beyond belief. I came early this morning and I saw Elder Thomas return from Second Elder's residence all angry."
"Oh man, why would we lie to you? Earlier, the Second Elder called Claude over. It does seem true."
The youths in the Academy did not pay attention to class as they held their little conversations.
To this group of youngsters, the concept of killing was still too foreign and too scary. As a result, they were fearful of Claude, who killed someone so nonchalantly.
As the rest of the students were talking, the students who had bullied Claude along with Aldrich sat on their seats with pale faces. They had only heard about the news of Claude killing Aldrich this morning. They were familiar with Aldrich. As Aldrich had the influence of Elder Thomas, these students who were good at boot licking, were acting as his lackeys, to leech off of his power.
To think that he was simply killed by Claude!
They felt astonished, full of disbelief and felt twice the shock compared to the others. However, compared to the shock, they felt a greater sense of worry and fear.
"We actually bullied such a ruthless murderer? Will he come to us for revenge?" Many of them patted their chests, feeling a lingering fear.
**************************
After he met with the Second Elder, Claude walked back to his room, in order to train more.
Now that he had the support of the Second Elder, he was confident that he wouldn't have to worry about any hindrances that may interrupt his cultivation process.
He revealed a pleased smile. If things went as he planned, he could definitely reach the pinnacle of the martial world.
"Claude!"
All of a sudden, a slightly shocked voice from a girl stopped him in his tracks.
The young girl's voice had a familiar sound and he turned his head slightly, and his happy expression was immediately replaced with an annoyed one.
From the corner of his eye, he could see a boy and girl who weren't any older than him.
The male was dressed in black, with long and smooth eyebrows and built like a greyhound, with sharpness radiating from his eyes. His cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth rank.
"He is the first ranking amongst all of the outer disciples in the academy, Colton Grey!"
The people around them exclaimed, with faces full of worry and fear.
The girl that came with Colton Grey was wearing purple, whose age was the same as Claude. She was May Stafford, the girl who had come with Claude.
'Ah, it's this b*tch!' Claude looked at the girl and his mouth subconsciously curled into a mocking smile.
