Novel Full 150 I thought he died
“…I have started to sleep early and wake up early.”
Lith and Ralph both turned to Dennis and stared at him. Dennis looked at them and muttered nervously, “w-what? Why are you two looking at me like that?”
“You didn’t sleep at all, right?” Lith asked, staring Dennis dead in the eyes.
Dennis’s face showed surprise when Lith said that, however he shook his head and said looking at the cup in his hand and not directly to Lith in the eyes, “n-no.”
“Oi, look at us. You played games all night, didn’t you?” Ralph said to Dennis from the side.
Dennis quickly gulped down the tea in his hand and got up from his seat. He said rushing to the door, “Your Highness, let’s go or we will be late.”
Lith and Ralph shook their heads helplessly as Dennis avoided the topic by running away. Dennis was becoming addicted to video games, and it appeared that he had missed out on sleep today as well.
People in the world, below rank 6, all needed sleep or their bodies would get weaker with time because of exhaustion and one day, due to this, they might even die. Of course, some races were an exception to this–like the slimes and ghosts.
The vampires, werewolves and some demons who were the creatures of night and lived in darker regions had no day or night cycle. Therefore, they could sleep at any time in a 24 hours time period.
It didn’t matter whether Dennis slept through the night or not, what mattered was whether he slept for at least 6-8 hours in a 24-hour period. Lith and Ralph assumed he didn’t sleep because of his early arrival and were worried for their friend.
They both decided that if Dennis continued this for a few more days, it was time to take action. For now, the two kept quiet and didn’t dwell on it.
Lith said his goodbyes to Ralph and left along with Dennis to the academy. Today they weren’t late and were therefore walking leisurely to the main building of the academy.
As Lith walked towards the academy’s main building, everyone’s attention was drawn to him. Dennis, as usual, was overshadowed by Lith’s overall charisma, even without Ralph present.
Among the many onlookers that were looking at Lith with admiration, there was however, one dissatisfied teen who was currently gritting his teeth in frustration. The teen had black hair and blue eyes and he was none other than Liam, who tried to assassinate Lith the day before yesterday.
‘How did this motherfucker survive? I thought he died when he wasn’t there yesterday. Tsk, no wonder. No wonder there wasn’t any news of his demise when I woke up. But… how the fuck did he survive? What magic did he do?
The bullet was so damn expensive, and so was the Hess Box. How did it fail? Ugh… my head hurts just thinking of this failed attempt. I should go on another mission today to clear my head from all this bullshit.’ Liam thought to himself as he gazed at Lith walking towards the main building of the academy.
Lith was completely oblivious to everything and was strolling leisurely with Dennis to his classes. When he arrived at class, nothing of importance had occurred, and it was the same boring classes as every other day.
At 2pm, the classes were generally over for everyone. For some classes or particular students, this time may vary and could be less or more, depending on the situation. Sometimes, a lecture would be over quickly and the class would end early. Sometimes, the lecture would be incomplete and the classes may extend for more than an hour or two.
Lith’s classes ended at 12 p.m. today, and he was free to do whatever he wanted. Dennis, however, was held back by the instructor after forgetting to complete his logical reasoning homework. As a punishment for slacking, he was forced to perform a two hour long logical reasoning test.
Lith, now being free, wandered around the main building. He walked up the floors, roamed around labs and strolled in a carefree manner around. There weren’t any restrictions in roaming around in such a way if one’s classes were over and they could basically go anywhere in the main academy building.
There weren’t any restricted or danger zones in the main building of the academy. It was a few kilometers away and the places where there were such zones were heavily guarded and were under surveillance. Lith thus strolled around in a carefree manner.
He came across a long corridor while strolling. A one and a half meter long railing ran along one side of the corridor, with doors leading to rooms on the other. On the signboards attached to the door, the names of the rooms were listed. The railings had pillars at regular intervals, with nothing between them.
They were empty and if one looked through these spaces, they could see clearly that they were 10 floors above and there were just stairs present in a spiral way. Lith was currently on the 100th floor of the academy.
‘Hmm, the principal. I haven’t seen her much except for that one time during the start of the exam. I wonder what she’s been doing all these times. There wasn’t any mention of her all these times. Should I go in and see her?
No wait, who in their right minds would go see a principal like this? Principals are scary, aren’t they? But, in this case today, the principal is literally an angel. An angel won’t be scary, right? Haha, of course. All the people from the angel race are nice. At least, that’s what I’ve heard on forums.
Nevermind, I’ll just go say hi to her, I’ll see what happens next. If things are bad, I’ll just leave and never visit her again. Hopefully, things won’t be like that. Let’s go.’
