Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Topnotch Aggro Skill

’Never expected less’ seeing how drastic the atmosphere changed upon their arrival, he almost wanted to smack his head.

But then, their stares and gaze all seemed too focused on his step sister, or sister for short. He glanced at the speechless crowd for a moment, before revealing a vile grin.

Stepping forward, he stood before Ava and stretched out both hands sideways to obstruct their view. His voice breaking the silence, he said in a steadfast manner.

"What are you looking at you pig squeaks!" his eyes unfazed.

"Ehn?"

Just then, the crowd of hot blooded youths, each dressed flamboyantly and more grandiose than the other, felt a wave of embarrassment overwhelm them. But this emotion was quickly converted to anger by the insulting words Andrew called them, all feeling that their pride had been stepped on.

" Pig squeaks? Who the hell are you calling Pig squeak?!" A youth, clad in white tunic robe and at the forefront of the crowd called out with anger, his voice vengeful and face flushed green.

"Who do you think you are?" another said scoffing as he walked towards Andrew with an intimidating gaze.

But then...

"Look he doesn’t have a manifestation?", the eyes of another youth seemed to have noticed a very important feature about Andrew’s appearance, pointing it out the next instant.

"Hehehe, such arrogance for a useless trash" the eyes of those who had reserved from throwing insults in fear that he was a genius, a scion of a powerful House instantly flared with fury as their gaze turned arrogant and haughty. Just who was Andrew that thought he could hinder them from appeasing their eyes. Some within the crowd began to move towards him with an intimidating look, while revealing their Ranks of the Beginner Mystic Rank to early Mid.

’hehehe’ Andrew smirked as he watched his intimidating bullies, or they thought they looked.

Whilst among the crowd, a slightly yellow eyed youth within the crowd. Gazed at the two siblings with contemplation, albeit looking hesitant at first, his eyes suddenly shone with resolution, finally making his choice. But just as he made to walk out of the crowd, he suddenly thought about something, and his resolution and confidence receded into nothingness. Would what he would gain surpass the trouble he would inherit all through his stay in the academy? There was doubt. Wether Andrew had potential or not, he would surely incurred the wrath of those already at the top with his actions. Why not just live a simple life and hustle like other side character instead, he didn’t aspire to be great or renowned anyway, in everything he had to grow to his limit before going back to rule the backwater Kingdom his father owned. Here he was no prince.

If Andrew had noticed this youth, then he would remembered him as Chay who he planned to have a one chance fuck with his ex fiance.

"You bunch of low level bottom characters, what do you think you’re trying to do?" Andrew’s voice wasn’t loud, but his words were like an acupuncture that striked the heart of the youths. While some paused and almost choked, the vexation in their eyes flared.

"Bastard! What do you have?" echoing the thoughts of many, the youth who was clad in white tunic robe, sneered as he squinted his eyes in disdain.

"In fact how did a trash t like you manage to get into Avalon?"

"... Oh look, we are still at the gate." correcting the white tunic robe youth, another in a flamboyant orange clothed youth said, casting a sneer at Andrew.

’Damn, my Aggro skill is definitely top notch’ reeling in the attention and insults thrown at him, Andrew was amazed by how quick he drew their attention from the startling beauty behind him. With Ava not being an exception either, amazed by his venomous tongue.

"You sure you won’t be the one sent climbing down the mountain?" Andrew taunted with reproach. Inciting the anger of the crowd more.

"Fuck you! Come fight me!" Seemingly vexed, the youth clad in white tunic robe declared revealing his aura of a Mid- Mystic Rank.

"Hehehe, dream on." smirking at the angered youth who challenged him, Andrew turned and stood beside Ava with a poised look.

Once again the crowd was dumbfounded by her startling beauty, her deep blue hair cascading above her shoulders with her skin unblemished and looked tender. Her face was cold as she stared at the white tunic robed youth with an uninterested look, revealing her aura of the Peak Mystic Rank. The startling silence was further heightened with awe and speechless shock. Unbelieving Ava revealed her aura at the Peak of True Mystic Rank, deterring the youth who had been wanting to intimidate Andrew into stepping backward.

"Feast your eyes Squeaks, she is my sister" Andrew said undeterred as he held her palm to show how close they were. And even more shocking to the crowd was that Ava made no hint to remove his hand, even tightening her grip with his to show that she would protect him.

’Thiss...’

’No it can’t be possible!’ some thought, feeling their hopes shatter at this sight, while unable to voice their thoughts.

Meanwhile, among the crowd, there were some youths who maintained their composure and distinguished themselves from the crowd expressing minute disdain. Gathered in groups of three or four,some had a veil covering their face, while others had this arrogant aura around them that made the crowd warily avoid them. But at this instant, right after Ava unleashed her aura, they all stared in her direction feeling incredulity and shock.

"How is this possible?" Suddenly a youth with white, silver streaks hair among this group questioned, his expression turning serious as he squinted his eyes in Ava’s direction.

Though this question wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, someone out of those gathered around him answered in a rather subservient manner.

"Uhm, I noticed they arrived on a griffin’’ the youth conveyed, observing both Faust siblings who stood at the center of attraction for those gathered here. Sadly they only catch view of their backs from where they stood.

"Hmmm" the white haired youth with silver streaks nodded, paying a silent attention to Ava’s back before closing his eyes in a meditating state.

Similar scenes happened in each small groups... Whilst standing alone, away from the crowd and groups a youth stared at Andrew with a bewilderment, furrowing his brows as if noticing something others didn’t, but then focused on observing the katana in his hands. Though his appearance appeared normal, similar to Andrew, if one keenly observed his hair they would notice how abnormal it looked.

’Hehehe’

’One, two, three...’’ as the number went on, Andrew counted the hidden gazes directed his way. As expected the hidden bosses who taught they were geniuses wouldn’t mingle with the crowd to chatter with them.

However, not giving him the time to dwindle with his thoughts...

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!..

Three powerful Mystic auras swept over the place silencing the crowd, as everyone stood still under the suppressive force, except for Andrew of course, whose presence negated the aura from Ava. Two at the middle, one late, yet terrifying they lightly hovered in the hair while their Sky Mystic aura imbued the atmosphere with an oppressive force.

"Why chatter like barbarians, while you were supposed to wait in silence" looking displeased, her face having formed a scowl, the woman who was surprisingly a Late-Sky Rank Mystic, questioned.

But then, her eyes settled on Andrew and Ava who stood at the center of the crowd, looking emancipated from her aura.

’Arrogant as usual uh?’ the woman thought, brushing off the two arrogant scions, as there had been many of such in recent years, she didn’t need to focus on this one either.

Casting her gaze over the crowd beneath her, she took a moment to ravish their silence, before swiping her fingers at the two men beside her.

"Ashford, Singh and Cyprus. You’ll be randomly assigned to each of these Houses until the end of your stay in Avalon, which is by either breaking through to the Saint Rank or being expelled." the woman said. Whilst the two men stretched out their hands, their bracelets lighting up as several towering 1 meter wide metal cauldrons appeared from thin air and landed on the floor.

With one just happening to drop before Andrew and Ava since they had so much space around them.

Filled water and nothing else, apart from how cool and majestic the cauldron looked with a few patterns drawn on it, there was nothing special about it."Ehnn? What’s this??"

"It’s just water??"

"Silence" just as the crowd was about bursting into echoing murmur,the woman said in a placid tone.

"One more and you’ll be losing a tenth of your point," though most didn’t know the point she was talking about, they didn’t dare ask either.

"Dip your tokens into the cauldron and the colors it reveals decides the House you’ll be assigned to."

Hearing the woman’s words, no one said anything and all did as she said.

"Yes! We have the same color!"

Please note that they aren’t up at the peak of the mountain but somewhere around the middle of it
