Chapter 1136

(Unedited)

…

The next day, when Xin Ja went back to school.

A young and frail-looking boy is already waiting for him outside the academy's gate.

The boy looks a bit sneaky as he showed vigilance in his surroundings. Xin Ja could not help but shake his head and approached the boy secretly from behind.

"Hey!" Xin Ja called while patting the shoulder of the frail boy.

Tung Jo almost jumps in fright as he covered his head unconsciously. Upon seeing the reaction of Tung Jo, Xin Ja could not help but chuckle.

"What are you doing? You act so sneakily…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"You… Why did you have to startle me?" Tung Jo said exasperatedly.

He did not expect that the one he is waiting for would startle him and would catch him off-guard.

In fact, he is a bit sneaky because besides waiting for Xin Ja he is also worried if those guys would have also already returned. He did not want to suffer another beating from them.

"Haha… Sorry about that… Let's go… you still have a class, right?"

"Yeah… But… but… I… I was waiting for you." Tung Jo said with a shy smile.

"Really! Let's go then…" Xin Ja said as he patted Tung Jo and the two walked to the gates.

But who would have known that once they get inside, they would surely meet with a troublesome matter?

Several students suddenly appear in front of Xin Ja and Tung Jo. These students showed a haughty expression on their faces as they stood in front to block the path of the two.

"Oh, ho! What do we have here?! The two who have escaped our clutches… do you think that you two can escape us? We will settle our scores today!" said one of the youths as he strode forward.

"When our big brother arrives then we will make sure that the two of you would suffer what he went through back then. And you dare trick us?... Hehe…"

Suddenly they saw a figure entering the gate. When the group saw that figure they all showed expressions of joy.

"Haha! Now the two of you are dead! Since our big brother survived the Lightning Blade Academy onslaught he has gained strength beyond your imagination… Let us see how you two can escape now!" one of them said as he strode towards that person.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just looks at the young man. He found the young man familiar but and just scrunched his brows.

"Big brother! Look at what we have here! Last time you've asked us not to do anything until the two of them are present. Now that the little brat Xin Ja is here, we can take care of the two of them in one go…"

"Yes, let us make them suffer!"

"We need to take our revenge, Big Brother!"

The group cried while cracking their fingers.

When the young man saw this and noticed the figure of Xin Ja and Tung Jo his expression immediately changes. He did not say anything and just nodded his head at Xin Ja. He then walks away and enters the direction of his campus.

His cronies around him were dumbfounded at what they saw and felt that everything seems weird. It was like their leader seems to be trying to avoid someone. The group seems a bit confused but did not make a fuss as they followed him.

"What… What is going on?" Tung Jo muttered as he looks at the situation with disbelief.

"Leave it be… Let's go to our classes…" Xin Ja said as he patted Tung Jo's shoulder.

"Wait… Umm… Brother Xin… Can… Can I invite you for lunch after our class this afternoon?!" Tung Jo asked with a hint of bashfulness on his face.

Xin Ja feels a bit warm in his heart as he feels that Tung Jo wanted to be his friend. He nodded his head and agreed.

He then went to his class and was greeted warmly by his classmates.

Qing Joming suddenly got seated beside Xin Ja and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Hey! So how was the War Game?" Qing Joming asked with a wide smile on his face.

With his words, the rest of the students near Xin Ja also drew closer. They have not seen the War Games before and only rely on the stories of the storytellers from the streets. Since one of them has joined the War Games they too wanted to know what happened.

But before Xin Ja could open his mouth, a senior student suddenly appears at the door of the classroom.

"Freshmen! You are all requested to gather at the fields… I repeat all are to gather at the field…" he said then turns around to leave.

They saw the senior going to another classroom and also said the same thing.

Everyone looks at each other and began to stand from their seats and orderly went to the field outside.

"What is happening?" Qing Joming asked with a frown.

"I don't know… Maybe there would be an announcement…" Xin Ja said while also thinking.

"Well… Hehe… This only means one thing…"

"And what is that?" Xin Ja asked in confusion.

"We have no classes! Hahaha…" Qing Joming chuckled.

Everyone around him also began to laugh as they showed excited expressions on their faces. These days, they were too busy with a lot of school works and potion research. If they could rest for a day, then they immediately feel a hint of excitement.

Many are already planning their afternoon and where they would go.

As the students gathers on the field, they saw a weird contraption. A large white screen is set up on a constructed stage, and there are a few boxes around it. They all showed confusion in their eyes as the students gathered in front of it.

The students from runemaster classes immediately became interested in the new contraction in front of them. They wanted to suddenly walk forwards and begin to scrutinize the things they are seeing. However… because of the teachers and the leaders of the school who are sitting in the front, they dare not do so.

As the teachers busily set up everything, the student just watches the large screen covered by a shade.

With one look, Xin Ja could already tell what is going to happen. He suddenly feels proud as he knew that the teachers are going to use the crystal video recorder to show the War Games to all the students.

Suddenly, Xin Ja feels a bit weird when he noticed a small figure standing behind him.

He could feel that the figure is watching him and would sometimes touch his robe. He did not know why, but his heart began to beat rapidly upon feeling such a sensation.

He slightly tilted his head to pretend to be looking at Qing Joming. And in his peripheral vision, he saw the same young woman wearing silver spectacles looking at him.

The young girl looks plain because of her glasses and her shy attitude, but her red lips and her cute little eyes behind her glasses made him feel that she seem to be hiding something behind.

Xin Ja did not bother to look at her anymore and just held on to his imagination as he continue to feel her gaze and the slight touches she would make on his robe. He did not know why, but it made him feel a hint of excitement in his little heart.

Suddenly the attention of every student turns to the middle-aged woman who stood on the rostrum.

"Hello, Students! We would like you all to be here for a very historic event in Ogden Academy… Because… for the very first time, we are going to witness history in the making…" she said showing a hint of suspense in her expression.

"As we all know, our War Game team went to Skymountain School, for the trial War Games just like the rest. And we should have fought against the Skymountain School. But it seems that something happened at that time… So now… We wanted you all to witness it for yourself…" she said.

When the students heard this, they all showed different reactions. Some suddenly lost their interest, while others has an excited look on their faces. And many of the students did not show any reaction. But there is one thing in their minds.

They are all thinking that the reason why they are called is for the academy to tell them the story of what happened in the War Games. Well… they have heard some of it from the storytellers in the streets. And so they feel that it would be redundant if the academy did it in the school, right?

It's like they already know what happened, why would the school tell them the story again?

However, they suddenly showed confusion in their eyes as the female teacher did not continue but instead took her seat.

The rest of the leaders of the school began moving their seats and everyone faced the white wall of cloth.

Everyone was confused as to what is happening. But their confusion suddenly turned into gasped of amazement when suddenly, everyone saw what happened next.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly glued on the white wall of cloth.
