Celestial Bloodline
chapter-156

Elder Han looked at the fading students and after nodding at the Professors he and the man beside him left the training ground.

They went to the second-year training ground. Similar to before two Professors were standing in front of the students explaining about the Practical exam. With a nod, Elder Han proceeded to activate a familiar Array that was specially designed to send the students inside the dungeon for the practical exam.

A lot of eyes were locked at Bia who was sitting on top of his shoulder. A similar scene happened at the third-year training ground but this time just like Professor Aster a greedy gaze was locked on Bia but because of Elder Han the gaze retracted after a few seconds.

After activating the last Array Elder Han sighed and massaged his temples. He needed to prepare to leave for the Central Continent within six months that's why he wanted to rest but for the past week the Academy was working him to the bone. He was assigned to prepare for the practical exam with Vice Principal George.

He waved and sent the black-haired man standing beside him away before walking toward George's office.

It took him a few minutes as he walked among the buildings and empty grounds before he arrived in front of a tall building where the Academy Treasury was present.

The various rooms present within the building were specially used by the Vice Principal, the Principal, and the four Elders.

Elder Han's room was present within the library as he would usually spend his time in research about Arrays and Herbs while unveiling the benefits of more potent potions.

He stepped inside the building. Unlike the Powerful individuals living inside the building was quite plain. After walking for a while he arrived in front of the biggest room. He knocked and after getting a response from inside he entered the room.

All this while Bia curiously looked at everything Elder Han did. She saw the hallway they passed from before stopping in front of a room.

Her eyes narrowed when Han entered the room. The room was mostly empty but a large square table was present at the opposite end of the room with many chairs. Four old men were sitting on the chairs while gazing at the hundreds of projections flying in the air. They were throwing comments here and there while staring at the projections without a deep interest.

Her curious gaze subconsciously landed on the old man sitting at the far end, he had white-haired and deep black eyes. The man looked old but had a very muscular body and unlike the others, a powerful commanding aura was present around his body.

The moment Bia's gaze landed on the old man he instantly turned around and stared at her with a raised brow. Bia was startled but she just looked at another person and pretended to not notice the man's gaze.

-'He is strong. Very strong!'

She thought inwardly and looked at a familiar person. It was George who protected her and Kyle when they were attacked in front of the Tower.

Elder Han started moving. He went to a nearby chair and sat down with an annoyed expression. Almost all the people present inside the room gazed at him, more specifically they gazed at Bia but their gaze retracted after a few seconds.

Han gazed at George with a cold expression.

"I am telling you if you asked me to do one more thing I am going to resign! Just how can you work me so much that I am mentally tired!"

George glanced at Han with a smirk and ignored his rumbling. He was also busy checking and opening the Artificial dungeon but whenever he saw someone else working more than him he was satisfied.

The other two Elders present inside the room gazed at Elder with pity and sadness when they heard the word 'resign' as they knew Elder Han couldn't resign or leave the Academy because the latter had signed a contract to work for the Royal Academy for his whole life.

It was an unfair contract but they didn't dare to voice their opinions because the devil who cleverly made Elder Han signed the contract was sitting inside the room. It was Ratric!

After grumbling for a while and getting no response Elder Han snorted and looked at the projections. Inside the projections, students from each year were fighting with some wolf monsters while standing on the stage.

Among the hundreds of small projections, three square-shaped projections were floating above all the other projections. They were the ranking projections and a series of numbers with different names could be seen written on those three projections in an orderly manner. The moment any student killed some monsters and gained some points their names would appear on those projections but the names were changing with every second.

Principal Ratric gazed at the projections he wanted to say something but then he looked at Bia and Elder Han.

"Can it understand what we are talking about?"

Han frowned. He picked up Bia and placed her on the table.

"I don't know about others but I think the bird what was the name again? Yes, Bia can understand Kyle."

Bia ignored the old man who was talking about her to show that she didn't understand but she kept her ears on the conversation.

Her gaze was on the protections. There were so many projections bundled up together that she had to narrow her eyes to look for some familiar faces inside the projections but even after looking around for a while she didn't see Kyle.

Principal Ratric nodded and looked at Bia.

"Little one, can you understand me?"

He frowned because Bia didn't move her head instead she was looking at the projections. He knew that the bonded beast could understand their companion but the young beast mostly didn't understand human language and from the information he received Bia was only seven to eight months old.

"I think she can't understand."

One of the elders said while glancing at the Principal.

"Hmm, Maybe? Who knows..."

Ratric didn't agree with them because he wasn't sure. He had seen some bonded monsters but they were all low-ranked because usually, these monsters disliked bonding with humans or any other race.

Bia was someone who had a legendary potential to reach (SSS+)-Rank in the future, So maybe she was able to understand everything they were saying.
