Donner is surprised.

He looked at Christos who looked haggard. He literally looked like a Shut-in. His hair is disheveled, his eyes are read and he clearly didn't look put together. His clothes are crumpled up and ragged.

The only thing missing is the body odor and he would be a perfect Shut-in.

"Why do you want to talk to me?

"

Donner asked in confusion.

"I need to ask you about your special admission. I talked to Dayus and I am sure that he knew something. He basically confirmed that there is a connection between, him, you, Sam and other people who got in through this special admission.

I need to know those details.

"

Christos didn't beat around the bush.

He didn't showcase his usual attitude to using trickery and polished words.

He was straightforward and asked what he wanted. He is just mentally exhausted to think about using all kinds of trickery like this.

He just babbled his query and awaited the answer.

"I am Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about.

" Donner answered flatly. Christos frowned and asked.

"Donner, don't play these games with me. I know for sure that there is a connection. I am sure of it. I will find it sooner or later.

If not for the fact that I am in a hurry, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you like this.

You better tell me what you know. It is beneficial for all of us. Or, you might regret it in the future.

"

Christos' tone was icy and sharp. He looked at Donner dead in the eyes waiting for him to speak. Donner chuckled slightly. He adjusted the hair falling over his forehead and matched Christos' gaze.

"Alright, there is a connection. But I am not going to tell. Do whatever you want.

"

He just spoke and stood up to leave.

Christos' aura raged. He has been so busy in administration since he got into second grade, it seems like everyone started ignoring him. Even a first grader is wagging his tail at him. First Sam, then White, Dayus and now this.

"Donner, you better behave. Just because I am being nice, do you really think you can show this kind of attitude to me?

"

Donner looked at Christos.

Disdain apparent in his eyes, he looked at him from head to toe.

"The arrogance of you to say those words…

Christos. I have seen way too many people like you in my journey. And that connection that you are looking for… you won't be able to get the answer from any of the people involved, because they have seen people like you more than me.

In a way, the challenges that we took up to reach the academy realm are by far much harsher and tougher compared to whatever that is happening in the academy realm.

So, none of us are thinking about our survival here. Which means, we have a lot of other stuff to think about. Don't act up and make us put that extra time on you.

You wouldn't even know what hit you.

"

Donner turned around and was about to leave.

He halted suddenly as he sensed the energy from Christos.

"Don't wait. If you want to make a move, they do it. But you must already know that the situation between Thor Academy and the Zeus Academy is bad. If my calculations are right, at the moment, less than one-third of your first graders are still active.

The moment, you make a move, you will trigger a war and the next thing you knew the heads of these remaining first graders will explode in a million pieces.

Try it if you dare.

I don't care how far the war will go on, but I am sure, before a truce has been implemented, I will be done with them.

"

Donner threatened directly.

His aura raged as well. Christos' aura is definitely more powerful. But Donner's aura is much more fierce and ruthless.

Donner might have been overshadowed by the rest of the players. But he is one of the few that survived. He has done a lot of things to reach this place and there is no denying that he is competent. Just like for other players, even to Donner this place is child's play until now.

They are still waiting for the actual tasks the gods claimed they would give. That is why, the players are still trying to keep a low profile. Of course, Sam is an exception.

If the rest of the players also acted out, there is no way, Christos would have come here and talked to him like that.

Beyond no one's expectations, Christos didn't make a move. He could only swallow his pride and leave the place. He didn't lose hope though. He went to other realms and asked everyone. The answer however is one and the same.

No one spoke about this.

This frustrated him a lot. If not for the fact that the Zeus Academy is in a precarious situation, he would have taken much more forceful measures.

While he swallowed failure after failure, Bloody Chariot finally succeeded after a long time.

"Success… Successs.

"

The voice of an old man reverberated through the secret room. He looked around in joy only to notice two other people who are in the similar mood to his. Apart from that, there is no one there.

"We did it.

" Another one muttered in a low voice.

In front of them there are a bunch of mechanical parts that they dismantled with great efforts. They didn't even feel relieved when they actually made something. But now, they are more relieved because they managed to dismantle just one puppet.

Among those parts, they found the rectangular crystal chip, which is the most important component.

Bloody Chariot soon came and took that chip.

Right now he has two. One of them is the chip that came from the bird puppet, Sam or rather Joker gave them to prove his 'innocence' the second is the chip that they obtained now.

Now, he needs to decode them.
