"Such a pity she had to be an enemy."

Kailen sighed inwardly, reflecting on the Principal's apology.

He felt it— the weight of pain, guilt, grief, and helplessness lingering in her voice.

She was genuinely sorry.

But to Kailen, apologies were not enough when certain lines were crossed.

She was an enemy.

She was the ally of a man who harmed his parents and grandfather; nothing else mattered.

Worst of all, she was a vimodial contractor, and she had to be eliminated.

"If I go around empathizing with the emotions and reasons behind an enemy's actions— no matter how honorable the reasons may seem, even when they would be harmful to the safety of myself and my loved ones, I'd be making a big mistake," Kailen mused inwardly to himself.

As the principal sighed deeply with complex emotions at Kailen's complete lack of response to her apology, the young man's gaze settled on the corpse of the giant creature.

Kailen observed the universe's energy pathways of the creature, and they were extremely dense.

As he observed, a figure walked calmly to stand by him.

It was Miranda.

"Thank you."

Her words were extremely heartfelt, and very sincere.

She had received the news that Kailen had healed her father.

Contrary to the news that he was actually a crippled awakener, it had been wrong.

According to what Kailen had explained to Jackson recently, and what Jackson had told her mother from Kailen's words, her father would be healed by the alchemical product Kailen had manufactured if, although Harrison was technically labeled a crippled awakener, a single point in his universe's energy pathways was not completely broken.

Her father had been healed miraculously and had been restored completely to full health.

Miranda did not have romantic feelings for Kailen anymore.

But she had come to really appreciate and admire him as a friend and a leader.

She recalled her thoughts when she confirmed her old man was well. She could not help but think Kailen was extremely good natured and loyal to those he loved and those who were good to him.

It was a puzzling contrast to his vengeful, extremely ruthless, and borderline sociopathic side.

Kailen's thought transmission snapped her out of her thoughts.

"I simply had the means to assist someone who almost took an arrow for the sake of being a member of my society, and I did. I'm glad he's fine."

Seeing Miranda had realized he had seen the moment where she almost lost her life during the society wars and Pan swooped in to save her, he winked at her lightly and added,

"And oh, I'm happy for you two."

"How did you.."

"God, do you guys think we are all so naive? Everyone is talking about you and Pan these days. If you wanted to go on a secret date, you could have at least had the date on a balcony or booked the whole restaurant."

Kailen chuckled lightly, something Miranda found refreshing, and chuckled at.

Pan, standing by the side observing them, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

In fact, Kailen even turned to him and winked at him.

Pan shook his head at Kailen's shameless teasing.

Principal Moreau's words however snapped everyone out of their thoughts.

"It's time for the cultivation in the energy vault to begin. Choose a spot you are okay with, and cultivate. Make good use of these three months."

The moment Kailen heard this, he didn't stand on ceremony.

He moved towards a particular area of the large corpse and sat down.

He was not the only one who found a place to cultivate.

Everyone else found a place to sit and begun to absorb the universe energy here to increase their strength.

"Looks like my next visit to the pocket world of the Time Dilation Artifact will have to wait. After all, I will be cultivating for three months. Let's break through multiple levels. After all, I've been stuck at the rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level for far too long, and consolidated a foundation so strong, that breaking through to multiple levels will not affect me in anyway."

Kailen mused, as he sat down at the place he had chosen for his cultivation.

He chose this place because it had an extremely dense concentration of universe energy.

Quickly he closed his eyes.

With his elemental mirroring at work, and his already monstrous breakthrough speed, Kailen was absorbing universe energy at an extremely fast pace.

The universe energy of the environs rummaged his cells at a speed that was preternatural.

The academy instructors, alongside even the principal, had their eyes narrow in shock when they saw the phenomenon occurring around Kailen.

Of course, the members of the Atrexia and Sword Tribunal Society were extremely focused— because they were focused on their own cultivation and their eyes were closed, they didn't notice what was happening to Kailen.

However, one could imagine how extremely shocked they would be when they opened their eyes.

Kailen's breakthrough aura kept increasing from time to time at an extremely fast pace.

Rank 2 beginner stage ascendant level.

Rank 3 beginner stage ascendant level.

Rank 4 beginner stage ascendant level.

Rank 5 beginner stage ascendant level.

"What the hell is this kid?"

"What sort of absurdity is this!"

"A freak, a fucking freak!"

"Monster!"

"Pervert!"

The instructors had seen their fair share of geniuses, but this…

They had seen his monstrous prowess during the society wars, but this…

There was no doubt about it that he had slaughtered three hegemons of the empire overnight, but this…

This was on another level.

What sort of terrifying breakthrough speed was this.

Kailen however, didn't stop there.

Rank 1 intermediate stage ascendant level.

Rank 2 intermediate stage ascendant level..

Rank 5 intermediate stage ascendant level.

Rank 3 supreme stage ascendant level.

Rank 5 supreme stage ascendant level!!!

Kailen had literally jumped from the beginner stage ascendant level to the peak of the supreme stage ascendant level in just three months!

Three fucking months!

What sort of absurdity was this!

The whole place was silent, as every instructor present, and the principal, couldn't even say a single word.

Moreau watched the youngster calmly seated on the giant corpse with his eyes closed, with a complicated expression.

"Little Sele, what sort of a monster did you and that shameless brat give birth to. Sigh! At least I know that he can avenge you, and also put an end to my misery very soon.

I can't help but root for him to come out of the clash victorious! My hatred for the man I am bound by a rune oath to serve, makes me wish I could kill him myself, and self detonate myself with him. But it's not possible!

This little monster is my only hope of freedom in death, and the death of the crown prince.

With the way he's growing strong, it's only a matter of time before his open confrontation with the crown prince is inevitable.

Forgive me, disciple, for being someone your son would have to kill, instead of being someone to stand by his side."

As Moreau muttered these words with a complicated gaze, Kailen however was completely oblivious to her thoughts and the explanations of everyone currently observing him.

He could feel the boundless level of strength pulsing within him… it was simply monstrous!

Also, the notifications flickering before him from the holographic screen of the Time Dilation Artifact, was extremely absurd!!
