Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 182: The Greenwood Academy [22]

"Mmmm!!"

Black swiftly turned his head!! A sudden movement!! Eyes narrowed!! Looking at the chaotic crowd of excited participates!!

'What happened Black!? Why the sudden expression!?~~ ' Zephyr questioned with a curious tone!!

Black shook his head!! His posture relaxed!!

"No!! ... Nothing!! ... Just!! ... Felt a sudden burst of killing intent!! ... Must be My imagination!! ... I suppose!! ... "

"You for real!! ... What if that wasn't your imagination!! Look again you aren't some idiot to be imagining things in broad day light!!~~ ... "

'Relax! Zephyr!! Relax alright!!' Black reassured!! A smile creeping on his face!!

'Even if that wasn't my imagination!! Regardless I can't find the source of the bloodlust!! So there is totally no point in fussing over it!!'

'Anyways!! ... ' Black crossed his arms! Finger tapping rhythmically!!

His lips pursed! Eyes scanning his surrounding with interest!! 'My serpent!! I'm sure you don't mind repeating what you said before, correct!!'

'About there being exactly how many Ascension Level 89 individuals participating in this so-called Mortal Tournament!!'

'Hmm!!~~ '

The serpent hummed with a contemplative look!!

Seated on a comfortable couch in a comfortable posture near the transparent-glass! Her mind putting the earlier matter aside!!

She took a bite of the snack placed on the side! Her serpentine eyes glancing at the succubus!! "Freya how many are there!?"

"Eh!! ... " Freya gave the platform a quick glance!!

"From all these seven-hundred and fifty participants!! There are only thirteen individuals who are at Ascension Level 89 Lady Zephyr!!~~ "

Zephyr nodded and promptly informed Black!! "That's a lot!! Isn't it!! ... "

"Indeed it sure is My friend!!"

*...*

Black blinked at the sudden voice! His head turned! There eyes matched!! His looking at the newcomer!!

"Like just look at how many people there are who came to participate in this tournament and the public!!... Ayie!! ... don't even get me started there!! ... "

"It's simply massive!! I'd say there are atleast a million people in the stands who came to watch this tournament!! ... What do you think My friend!!"

'Huuh?? Now who is this blabber-mouth!!~~ ... '

"A side character!!" Black responded aloud!! The mentioned Man indeed heard! Lost his ground nearly falling!!

'The fuck!! Alright I understand that this bastard is handsome!! ... Very handsome in fact!! But again!! ... The fuck!!'

'Isn't this dude too narcissistic for his own good!!'

The side character gritted his teeth! The composer returning to his decent-looking-face!!

He was another student of the Academy!! Dressed in the academic uniform!! He had

deep-green eyes and black hair!! Long-ears like any other Elf!!

'Light Elf! Huh!? ... '

Black examined the Man!! ... "You are!! ... "

The Man smiled! His chest puffed out!!

Black's eyes narrowed at the Man! Regardless he focused on the Academic badge of this individual!!

He had Eight blue-stars!! Name: Lyson Lightshade!!

"Now what does a rank eight individual like yourself want from Me! A mere rank seven newbie!!"

"Heh!!" Lyson Lightshade smirked!! He wasn't just some rank eight! He was a genius alright!!

A member of A-class in the Academy!! Not to mention he had already reached Level 81 at his young age of 81 years!!

"Good that you know your place!! ... Um!!... " His deep-green eyes scanned!! "Not a student of the Academy are we!! No matter!! ... "

"First what is your name pretty boy!?" He asked!!

Tone superior! Like his expression!!

Black lips curled in amusement! His gaze mirroring his expression watching the clown! Afterwards with a thought He decided to play along!!

"Black!! That is My name!!... Black Quantiarch!! Lyson Lightshade!!"

"In any case why don't you be kind and tell me the reason for your sudden visit!? I don't think we've ever met each other!! ... "

Black probed! Brows raised!!

"Right!! ... Whatever!! ... "

Lyson Lightshade waved his hand!! "You!! ... You're worthy!! ... " He nodded!! "I want you to come under Me as My lackey!!"

Black made a face!!

"What!! ... What's with that expression!! To dare look at Me as though I'm a dumbass despite perfectly knowing who I'm!!"

His eyes widened in realization!! "Oh!! Hold on a minute!! ... You actually don't know who I'm correct!!"

Black grimaced!! 'Not this shit again!!'

Lyson nodded!! "Thought so!! Let me tell- "

"Shut up!!" Black intervened!!

"Yes I don't know who you're and I honestly don't care either!." He shooed!! "Now get out of here I'm not interested in playing with you!!"

"Wh!!... "

Black was just about to leave for a quieter place! But then he heard a loud laughter in this already loud platform!!

"Hahaha!! ... Lyson!! ... Didn't I say you'll fail miserably!! ... Haaah!! ... "

Black looked towards the source!! His gaze narrowed!! 'Hmm!! ... Zid Flamehart!! Is He the one you were talking about Elly!!'

'Indeed He is!!~~ '

Black observed the tall Man who came to a stop beside Lyson!!

He too was dressed in a similar uniform!! Had pale-red skin! His eyes two deep-ambers! Face defined with a head full of dark-red hair!!

'A coincidence would you say!!~~ ' his lips arched up!!

'Na-Uhn!! It was just a matter of when!!~~ ... '

'After all the Elf was on the same platform as you!! ... Besides You being You the meeting was inevitable even with you standing still!!~~ '

The girls chuckled with amusement! There gazes interested! Excited to watch another drama in the making!!

Black exhaled!! His eyes giving a swift glance to the mirror-glass!! 'This is why you send me here! Huh!? For your entertainment!!'

'Fufu!!~~ '

'Tsk!!.. ' He refocused his gaze on the Flame Elf standing a few meters before him!!

"I knew just from the way this wannabee stood here alone!! ... He is quite arrogant! He won't became your lackey unless you knock some sense into him!!"

Zid spoke to Lyson with his gaze examining Black!!

'*Exhale!!~~* Exactly when is this tournament going to start! And why is it taking so long for mere 10 minutes to pass!! ... '

"You know what I mean!!"

"Tsk!!.. Shut up Zid!!.. " Lyson again gave a look to Black!! "Young friend I'll ask you again are you willing to become My lackey or not!!"

'Em! A Poison Spirit you say!! Understood!. If I fond one; then I'll hundred percent bring his transformation core for you to enjoy!! ... '

'This bitch!! ... Ignoring Me once more!!' Lyson Lightshade clenched his fists! His eyes hardened as he smirked!!

"And here I was about to tell you regarding what this tournament actually is!! Like how to survive those six days and!! ... Never mind!!... "

Black blinked! Now his gaze for real focused on the individuals before him!! Zid! Lyson! And two more Males he didn't care about!!

"How do you know about this tournament!? And what's this about 6 days!?" He asked with an intrigued tone!!

'Now isn't He curious!!' Lyson snorted!!

"Now! Now! ... There is no need to rush!! How about you become My lackey first!! Before asking about such sensitive information!!"

Black gave this Light Elf a deadpan stare!!

'Are all Light Elves like this dude Elly!! Like what is his problem!! For what reason does he want to make me a lackey!?'

'Do I look like someone who will become a lackey!! Besides Is he blind or something! Can't he see how many people are here!! ... '

'He can always go to them!!... If he wants a lackey so badly can't he or perhaps this Elf won't understand untill I beat some sense into him!? ... '

His annoyance aside!! Black was genuinely confused!! Most of the people he met after coming to the city were all so annoying and idiotic!!

He just hoped that this Zid guy isn't like all of them too!! Black also had quiet a good impression of him despite what he said earlier!!

Considering Zid had remained rather quiet in all this time and was not a blabber-mouth like this Lyson guy!! Which Black really appreciated!!

'No!!~~ ... Not all Light Elf are so annoying!! ... ' Elly responded with a calm smile!!

'As a matter of fact this Lyson guy isn't also like this all the time!! In fact you can say even I'm surprised by such an attitude coming from a Light Elf instead of a Flame Elf!!~~ ... '

'But when you think about it My Dear!! ... These Elves are children's born in a good family with an amazing talent and dashing looks!! ... '

'However before you Dear!!~~ ... There looks are like puffed balloons!! ... The more time passes the more they realize that there is simply no comparison between you and them!!~~ ... '

'And that is something they can't accept!!~~ ... Well!!... some can! But most can't!!~~ ... '

'The Hack!! ... ' Black became flabbergasted!!

'The passive charm of a Progenitor is no joke My Love!!~~ ... For example simply look around you!! ... '

He did!!

'Now do you see the many Females and how they keep stealing glances at you!!~~ ... '

'Damn!! ... From merely standing here and minding my own business!! ... Have I actually became enemies with half of the males here on my platform and other platforms!!'

Black lampooned!!

'Isn't that ridiculous!!'

'It sure is!!~~ ... But that is why!! ... It is that much more entertaining!!~~ '

Black's lips arched up!!

'Aren't you enjoy yourself a little to much My serpent!!'

"Why aren't you replying commoner!!" Lyson Lightshade asked! His gaze narrowed in palpable displeasure!! His tone a pitch higher!!

"..."

Black gave the Light Elf another glance!!

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly!! 'I don't have time for this shit!! A few seconds more and the tournament will finally began!!'

Knowing the time through his partial-omniscint Black turned his head towards the bright-azure Elytherian skies!!

His eyes squinted as he saw a dark-silhouette hovering above!! It was the blurry figure of a Man!!

And as the figure descended and became clearer!! A deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the whole Arena!!

"The time has finally come!! ... Ladies and Gentleman!! ... "
