“Can we know about the condition of other SSS Rank Hunters?” An old reporter asked Farnus respectfully.
A press conference was called by the Mage Association, with the World Association arranging everything, and it was being broadcasted around the world over a very secure network.
This time, nobody wanted the same incident that happened with the Kalvas Gala to repeat itself, so the security of the Operation Towers was also substantially increased.
“They will be fine, but everyone needs rest after such long fights,” Farnus replied, his presence quite heavy in the room.
Due to battling to the extreme, his mana core was quite unstable, and his presence was spreading out so much that the only reporters in the room were all A Rank hunters.
For safety reasons, nobody lower than A Rank was allowed to enter near the vicinity of Farnus.
“Can we know about what happened during the battle?” Another one asked.
“We won, and only that matters. I have done my duty, and so did the others,” Farnus replied.
His answer made it clear that they were not going to get any information about the damage or what happened in the battle that made the other SSS Rank Hunters present in Belvoria not appear on camera at all.
Another old person stood up and asked a question that was being raised all over the internet.
“What steps will be taken against Zephyr, and the organization they have formed?” The man asked.
Everything about the masked man was a mystery, and people’s trust in the High Council was falling.
If they could do such things, the future looked bleak, and it made people question the authorities about their intentions and what sort of progress they had made until now.
“Once their identities are found, they will be purged without doubt,” Farnus replied.
“And even those that join them will be considered as enemies,” Farnus said.
None of the Executives dared to correct Farnus, as only the other 10 SSS Rank Hunters had the power and authority to question the strongest hunter in the world.
“Will you stay back or go back to the World Academy?” one of the reporters asked.
“Everyone has their duty to do; mine is to see over those students that are practicing each day to become the best Hunters out there,” Farnus said.
“And I don’t think my presence is needed anymore,” Farnus continued.
“But if needed, which I don’t think will happen, I will come to assist them,” Farnus said.
After all, with the calamity dead, Farnus had no reason to stay out of the World Academy.
And it was better for him to go back to the World Academy and check the situation with his own eyes.
Farnus stood up as the conference was finished, and he had given enough answers that would calm the rumors that were spreading all over the internet.
Right now, Farnus was wearing a robe that covered his body, so his left side wasn’t visible at all, and he didn’t want to show it to anyone either.
At the World Academy,
A few professors were gathered on the top floor of the Faculty Building, waiting for Farnus to arrive.
Not all the 3 Star Professors were called, but Farnus sent a message that he wanted to discuss the future plans for World Academy.
When Farnus was getting treated at the Mage Tower, he knew that his actions had greatly shifted the plans he had, and he needed to do something to compensate for it.
“So even we don’t have any news about what’s happening out there?” Dahlia asked Elsa, who shook her head.
Dahlia turned towards Xander, who shook his head as well.
“You will know soon, when the Principal arrives,” Xander replied.
The Teleporting gate far from the room they were sitting in was lit up as a heavy pressure descended, and all of them could guess it was none other than Farnus.
After a while, an old man, wearing a robe, entered the room, and everyone stood up to give their respects to him.
“Sit down,” Farnus gestured with his hands as he walked and took the centermost seat.
Across the table were Professor Neyman, Professor Arman, Professor Elsa, Professor Dahlia, and Professor Argas as well.𝑂𝑣𝚎𝔩𝐞xt.𝑐𝗈𝑀
Xander was sitting closest to Farnus, and he could guess easily that Farnus wasn’t at his full strength right now.
Being an SS Rank hunter, he knew that Farnus was exuding this much pressure without wanting to because of his recent battle.
He had similar experiences himself as he had challenged multiple difficult dungeons and monsters himself in his lifetime.
“I will not waste much time, as I have a single announcement to make,” Farnus said as he looked at everyone.
“From today, I will be busy with my training, so I have a few things that I want to happen until I come back,” Farnus said, as all of them got surprised.
From the moment World Academy was made, Farnus hadn’t taken a single break, and him telling them this was surprising for them.
Farnus knew that his hand would remain like this, and due to him recalling his Ancient Rune, the effect that had accumulated for 15 years had gone to waste.
Although the people present here wanted to ask what happened that made him take a break like this, they kept their curiosity to themselves.
“How much time would it take?” Xander asked.
Farnus glanced at Xander.
“A few months at least, but this news will be only known to a select few,” Farnus said.
“There will be a few changes for the End Year Tournament and the Trail’s Ground we previously announced,” Farnus added.
“But, changing it so suddenly…” Arman spoke up.
“Don’t worry, nobody would raise any questions, and I will handle any issues that arise myself,” Farnus replied.
With things gone so astray and with new unknown threats appearing, Farnus knew he needed to change something.
He had a feeling that something wasn’t right, and he needed to change the way things were going to go in the future.
Maybe it was his intuition, but he could feel that something was pushing him towards his own demise.
With the calamities to the Peak SSS Rank Monster, something didn’t add up at all.
“I will give you the changes I want to make, so make sure you can work on that as soon as possible,” Farnus stood up.
Nobody, including Xander, stood up against Farnus, because Farnus had the power to make any changes to World Academy that he wanted.
Until unless he broke his Mana Oaths, no one had any issues with Farnus.
“And make sure that no rumors spread across the academy,” Farnus said as he started walking towards the exit.
“I don’t want the chaos outside to affect this environment we built for those children,” he said as he left the room.
“Sigh, it really might be a serious issue with even the Principal acting like that,” Arman muttered, and everyone heard him.
Students were not the only ones that were interested in the news about the outside world and especially Zephyr.
Even Professors like them wanted to know what was happening and how a threat like that appeared out of nowhere.
Nighttime arrived, and Farnus was sitting in his office, looking at the report of everything that happened from the moment he was away from World Academy.
He flipped through files, and one of them contained the information about Professor Argas registering an artifact for himself, and Farnus skipped past it.
A lot of things were on Farnus’s mind, and he didn’t bother looking too deep into Argas’s files, where all the recordings were present.
“So, he got unconscious,” Farnus muttered as he saw the report about the incident of Kevin Whiteheart.
The timing matched exactly with the time he used his Ancient Rune to its fullest.
Farnus disappeared from his office as he went to the Medical Facility of World Academy.
He was in front of the room where Kevin Whiteheart was being treated.
Even though it had been more than a day since he fainted, he still hadn’t woken up, and Farnus went inside as he had the authority to pass through all the doors inside World Academy.
Farnus went near Kevin as he looked down at him, specifically at his mana core.
He could feel the disturbed mana turbulence inside his mana core, and it was obvious what the reason behind this was.
“I can’t give it to you until you are ready for it now,” Farnus muttered, but Kevin couldn’t hear him.
Farnus placed his right hand on Kevin’s chest as he used his mana to absorb the excess lightning element inside Kevin’s Mana Core and attracted it towards its source.
The Ancient Rune, something that shouldn’t have been present in Kevin, had left its marks inside his mana core and was the reason why he was unconscious right now.
“Don’t worry, you will soon receive it back,” Farnus said with his eyes that had become cold.
