Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 128

Aaron didn’t like Viren’s glance at all.

Though it was only for a second, he could feel the jealousy that filled it. There is no way to make acquaintances with a person like that, no matter what. If one tries to, then either they are stupid or naive, as a jealous person would never join your side, even if on the surface they act like that.

Moreover, Aaron learned that Viren was the shadow player who used Harry to attack him when he went to collect rewards for the first-year competition.

It was not an easy thing to achieve, as Viren was very careful in this matter. If not for the help from his senior sisters, Reyna and Zara, he wouldn’t have succeeded in finding out the master planner.

When he found out about the fact that Viren was behind the incident, he immediately wanted to go and confront him, but his logical mind stopped him from doing so.

First, there is no definitive proof regarding this. Though the two girls found some info about it, that was not proof; it was just what they heard around.

Second, private fights are prohibited. Though Harry confronted him in front of the Resource Center, they didn’t fight at all. So, there was no breaking of rules till then. If they had fought, then both of them would have been punished.

This was also the reason why Viren sent Harry instead of going himself and confront Aaron.

If Aaron starts a private fight, then he would be the one who would be punished more than the other party, as long as the other party is at fault too.

This means, if you have proof of any wrongdoing by the other party, you have to go to the academy for justice, not seek out justice privately.

Since he lacked proof, he couldn’t confront Viren, nor could he go to the academy, but now there is a chance.

Viren walked onto the stage to show the academy that he was not afraid of anything and would lead in any situation by example. This is what anyone expects from any leader.

The five-member team does need a team leader when they go out to participate in the Inter-Academy tournament, or else everything would be in chaos, and the team would only return home in defeat. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

This is true for any team, anywhere.

A team needs a leader, or else chaos would reign and the team would fail to achieve their goals.

Aaron quickly got up and walked onto the stage before any of the other two did. This is a chance he wouldn’t miss out on.

Viren wants to be the leader of the team, but he would shatter that dream.

Aaron was angry at Viren, but he didn’t show it as that could attract the staff’s attention to him, and he might fail to do what he wanted to do.

He was angry at Viren because he sent those goons. He didn’t even have the guts to do his dirty work. Moreover, he was angry because there were already many enemies of human society in the form of monsters and cults.

Instead of joining with other humans to defeat those problems, he was trying to suppress other talents, just because he didn’t get what he wanted.

Aaron didn’t have many friends in school, and he used to read books, a lot of books, as he had time after school, as he had no friends to spend time with.

He understood from those books that if someone gets jealous of you, that feeling would never disappear. Even if you beat the person senseless, that feeling would just get buried deeper, ready to show its fangs when ready, but would never disappear.

It is for that very purpose that Aaron wants to fight and defeat Viren in such a humiliating way, so that Viren wouldn’t think of a way to cause trouble for him for a short time.

After the four years at the academy, almost everyone would go their own way and may never see each other. So, whether Viren would continue to be jealous after his graduation or not is none of his concern.

There are two ways one can graduate from the academy.

It is to get good results in the year-end exam for four years, or if one reaches Rank-4, they can immediately graduate. There would be no need to wait for four years to complete.

Reaching Rank-4 would not be an easy thing to achieve. One would have to reach level 500 to get the promotion mission to achieve Rank-4.

Once they do, they would have to leave the academy, as unlike the Rank-1 to Rank-3 promotions, which would be normal promotions, promotions from Rank-4 depend on the class, and the difficulty would be very high.

So, they have to leave the academy to complete the mission, which would also be considered a graduation exam for the students.

Since the difficulty is very high, not everyone would be able to complete the mission on their first try. Unless you have a guiding hand, resources or if you are a genius, only then can one complete their mission in their first try.

Though outside influence is forbidden for the completion of the mission, as it would be deemed a failure if there were any interference.

Though external influences are prohibited, it only prohibits another person from directly helping. If the person gives guidance or resources before one starts their mission, then there would be no issue.

Completing the mission would only happen as long as they are strong enough to survive in the outside world.

This is why anyone who reaches Rank-4 would be considered an Elite and would be graduated immediately from the academy, as the goal of making a student strong enough was basically achieved when they reach Rank-4.

If the students want to continue to study, they can, but no one would do so.

They would rather explore and improve themselves outside, as it would be the quickest way to improve. It is also the most dangerous one, but that doesn’t stop anyone from leaving the academy to search outside.

Riches and power would not be earned with training wheels attached. Only when they were removed would one achieve anything in their life.

Seeing that two students walked onto the stage, the vice-headmistress spoke, "Okay, we have our two fighters". She decided to be the referee for the remainder of the matches among the four.

"Are you two ready?" she asked as she looked at Viren and Aaron.

They both nodded in agreement.

"Ready...one...two...three...start".
