n321 Intentions

nSilvus looked at them leaving thinking about his discussions with them.

n“Doesn’t look good,” Silvus said to himself,

nAll this time when he was asking Asher all those questions, his true intent was to gauge the personality of the young man whose talent was nothing but monstrous.

nSilvus had lived long enough to understand people’s personalities by just talking with them.

nBut he had never seen someone like Asher in his life.

nBeing able to remain calm and composed despite being in his presence was something Silvus didn’t think Asher could do.

nEven Alyssa and Amelia were affected by the massive presence that flood the whole room.

nAlthough Alyssa’s didn’t react much like Asher, but it was visible that she was being affected by Silvus’s presence just like Amelia.

nIt was just Asher, who had no reaction, or even a single hint of hesitance while conversing with Silvus.

nAll these time, Silvus had stick to his ideals of staying away from the Elite families and people with status like or bit less than them.

nBut he was getting old, and he was not the once independent man he was currently.

nBorn a orphan, Silvus had climbed to the top with his own strength but now he had kids and even Grandchildren.

nAnd the previous incident in the Kalvas Gala, where the children were hurt by the bomb that was planted on the Dance Hall, at that moment Silvus didn’t thought much of it but the image of his own family getting hurt made him rethink his own decisions.

nTill now, Silvus had the stayed away from interfering outside of Mage Association, but after witnessing the recent battle against a Peak SSS Rank Monster all that changed.

nHe was not worried about the present, but the future which was uncertain.

nAnd that is why he took the initiative to talk with Asher.

nIf he could see the thoughts and personality of those that will lead the world in the future, he could predict where to place his bets.

nBut his recent conversation made him rule out Asher as the one he would place his bets on.

nIt was true that even Silvus acknowledged that he had never seen such a sharp, composed mind even in the most genius and talented mages he had seen in his life.

nAnd knowing that the young man had already reached C- Rank, it was not hard to say that Asher was the strongest in his generation.

n“He is too dangerous,” Silvus muttered.

nHe had seen those indifferent crimson eyes once before in his life, and it wasn’t a time that Silvus wanted to recall.

nHe didn’t knew about why Asher had such eyes, that looked distant and detached from the world.

nSuddenly, Silvus sensed a presence coming towards his room sneakily.

nHis facial expressions changed immediately.

nHis face became warm, and his smile became soft, nothing like the way he behaved in front of Asher and others.

nIt was his genuine smile.

nSuddenly, a head popped out from another that was an entrance to the room, and from their a Silver Haired, girl with bright yellow amber eyes peeked.

n“What are you doing?” Silvus asked as he looked at the girl that was around 11 years old.

n“Oh, I heard there were some guests so I didn’t wanted to disturb Grandpa,” The girl replied as she rushed towards Silvus.

nSilvus turned his chair as the girl hugged him and looked above towards his face.

n“Acting so sweet, it seems you want something from me?” Silvus asked.

nThe girl pouted as Silvus had seen through her plan.

n“I just wanted to go outside, but mom and dad said it would be too dangerous,” She said while looking a bit sad.

n“You will go to the World Academy soon, so wait a bit more,” Silvus said as he patted her head.

n“Okay,” The girl replied while pouting and looking away.

nAlthough she was happy that she and her brother could go to the World Academy, she didn’t wanted to show it to Silvus.

nShe only heard last year that she and her brother would attend World Academy, and it made her very excited as she thought that she would only learn in the Mage Association.

nSome of her tutors had already told her about how only the best would study at the World Academy, and all students from different continents join together to study at one place.

nDue to her sheltered upbringing, she was quite excited to step out and learn in a place like World Academy.

nSilvus wasn’t worried about the safety of his grandchildren inside the World Academy, as he had made a deal with Farnus to teach them in a special class.

nIt was one of the favors that Farnus gave in the High Council, to a select few and Silvus used it for his grandchildren.

nAnd Alfred and Nathan did the same for Lucas and Livia, although it was not known yet.

nOutside the Mage Association,

n“You guys can wait in the car, I will complete the paperwork,” Elsa said as Asher, Amelia and Alyssa went towards their car.

nAll of them had already stored the books in their storage rings. These books were the copy of the original ones present in the Sanctuary of Mages, and it can only used by the one who took it outside.

nWhen someone was exiting the Sanctuary of Mages, they needed to make an mana oath to not distribute the information inside these books without getting the confirmation from the Mage Association.

nAnd if they did, the Mage Association would request them to return the books, and strip them of their rights to re enter the Sanctuary of Mages ever again.

nAsher calmly sat in the car, and he was thinking about the conversation he had with Silvus.

n‘So he is ready to step into all this,’ Asher thought to himself.

nDuring the time Silvus was asking Asher all those questions, he wasn’t aware that Asher was somewhat aware of his intentions.

nThe bombing in the Kalvas Gala wasn’t just to damage the reputation of the High Council, but it was to make Silvus Grandus, someone who was stern on not stepping inside the politics of Elite Families, move.

nThere were far too many variables that were bound to appear as Asher disrupted the future heavily, and that’s why he needed the double edged sword named Silvus.

n‘So this skill can even fool his eyes,’ Asher thought in his head.

nHis mana core right now was a Rank C Mana Core, but seeing that Silvus had addressed him as C-, was the evidence that this skill was enough to disguise his strength from anybody.

nAsher knew that Silvus had eyes that could see mana, and now that he had confirmed that both Nathan and Silvus couldn’t gauge his true strength, he was confident in using this skill.

nClosing his thoughts, for a second Asher remembered about the time during his conversation with Silvus that he almost lost his control.

nAt the World Academy,

nLeonard was looking at the information that his people have gathered till now.

n“No record?” Leonard said with a frown on his face.

nDuring all this time, Leonard hadn’t give up on finding the partner that Asher came with at the Gala.

nAnd looking how there was no information, it made his doubts even stronger.

nBut to this day, there was no information about that girl.

nAsher had already made sure to tell Emmy, to not leave any traces behind.

nAnd due to Alyssa’s identity, Emmy outdid herself erasing all the clues.

nThe End Year Tournament was coming near, and Leonard wanted some definitive information to play his cards accordingly.

n“Sigh, should I give up on this for now?” Leonard said to himself.

nThings have went bad since the Kalvas Gala, and Leonard needed to focus on more important things.

nEven Osbert had told Leonard to focus on Graduating from World Academy.

nBut Leonard wasn’t satisfied by leaving something he started midway.𝗈𝑽𝓵𝔢xt.𝑐𝑶𝔪

nHe had spent a lot of time, building the Blood faction and gathering all the information about the key people inside the World Academy.

nBlake Cranston was one of the examples of such people.

nGetting irritated with his situation Leonard threw the board in front of him to the side.

nBut in an instant he calmed himself down, and his anger went away.

n“Hmm, let’s focus on the tournament,” Leonard muttered.

nHe was in no rush as the timings for their plan had changed, and he could wait for his time to come.

nHe had just received the news that Asher had went to the Mage Association to enter the Sanctuary of Mages.

n“It’s good that he is wasting his time,” Leonard said with a smile on his face.

nLeonard had many cards to play, but he chose to stay still for now. But he didn’t wanted to wait too long either.
