9 THRONES

CHAPTER 89: RETURN TO ACADEMY

Hasel was sitting in his room and was busy reading the book in his hand, it was about a certain sword technique.

Suddenly the door of Hasel's house opened, the figure of Gostaf who had always been in the test room of an elite disciple appeared in Hasel's house.

Gostaf hardly ever left his house, but he did not go for many years except for the funeral of the academy's head Zerten.

Without even looking at Gostaf, Hasel said "Why are you here? Didn't you always say that you can't leave the elite student's test room because there are important treasures you have to guard there".

"You're right, if it's normal time, I definitely wouldn't bother coming here" said Gostaf who sat next to Hasel "But when my friend was sad, I said, surely I should accompany them even if it's just a moment".

"I don't think we're friends" said Hasel smiling indifferently, though he said so but Hasel was actually pleased.

Gostaf did not object to Hasel's harsh words, as the man who had been friends with him for many years, Gostaf was well acquainted with Hasel's cold and cruel nature but in fact he was a good person.

"Didn't you go to the Magma Pillar? After all, that kid named Vann is a student you're proud of, isn't he? It's been 4 years since you didn't recruit any more students, but as a 1st generation, hundreds of people try to register as your student every day but you are never interested in recruiting students again until you meet Vann" Gordaf said.

Hasel looked at Gostaf before shaking his head "Every cultivator must be at risk, if I continue to protect him, how could Vann possibly develop. Moreover, if Vann was killed in the Magma Pillar, then it only proved he did not have the strength to become a great cultivator. As for me who is from the 1st generation, does that matter? Generation 1 is just a nickname for me, after all everyone knows that I'm the weakest in generation 1".

"Most 1st generation members managed to become high-level cultivators even Emperors. Even the weakest members of the 1st generation, they managed to become mid-level cultivators. While me? I'm just a failed person from the 1st generation, not worth mentioning".

Gordaf tried to say something in order for Hasel to be confident again, but after thinking for a while, Gostaf decided to keep quiet.

As Hasel said, everyone who came from the 1st generation was very famous.

Is it the 1st generation? They were the earliest group of people to become cultivators after the 9 throne holders, which meant all 1st generation members had the chance to be trained directly by the throne holders.

So like the Plant Emperor, Illusory Emperor, and a few other Emperors, they were all from the 1st generation.

But not all the 1st generation succeeded, among all the 1st generation that failed, Hasel is the most famous because he is known as the weakest of the 1st generation.

The reason there are still many people who are interested in becoming Hasel's students is that Hasel has many acquaintances and friends who are scary as the 1st generation even he was in class with people who became Emperors now.

Seeing Gostaf unable to speak anymore, Hasel also did not get angry "Stop talking about a problem that is no longer important, now we have to discuss something else. According to the letter obtained from Yazer, Thersa who came from the Monster Laboratory had a strange drug that could increase the strength of monsters and control them. Not only that, the Monster Laboratory was planning to attack the entire force in Talper Province".

"When I finished saying all that, Yazer lost consciousness due to the loss of a lot of blood that resulted in us not being able to get more information. Whatchu think? If the Monster Laboratory were to really attack the great power of Talper Province, we might be in deep trouble. Now that there was not a single middle-level cultivator in the academy, it was too difficult to fight against the Monster Laboratory without the protection of intermediate cultivators".

"Don't worry" said Gostaf confidently "I'm getting news from the center, the new academy head has been determined. He was a fairly famous intermediate level cultivator from another province, his nature was also quite good. As long as he gets here, we don't have to worry too much about the Monster Laboratory anymore".

"Even if the enemy sends a mid-level cultivator before the new academy head comes, if me, you and Githa fight together, we are able to fight an early-level intermediate cultivator without any problems. Therefore, attacking the Monster Laboratory shouldn't be too risky for the Wood Sword Academy".

Hasel let out a heavy sigh "I hope it is that easy, however you know yourself, our Academy holds important-treasures".

Not waiting for Hasel to finish his words, the sound of footsteps could be heard towards Hasel's house as quickly as possible.

Suddenly the door of Hasel's house opened, Githa's figure was seen through the door now sweating, showing how panicked she was coming here.

Gostaf stood up as he found Githa panicking "What's wrong? Did the enemy from the Monster Laboratory attack?".

The reason Gostaf was worried was that he left his home which was the training ground of elite disciples, others might not know anything about his home, but only Gostaf, who was the training ground of elite disciples, Hasel and Zerten who were the heads of the academy earlier understood most clearly about what was hidden in the Gostaf house.

Githa shook her head "Not that! Master Hasel, I have important news for you! That boy! Vann actually returned to the academy, now he was in an empty classroom to answer questions from other teachers".

"What's? Vann made it back?", although Hasel had previously been so cold about Vann as to say whether or not Vann managed to live from the Magma Pillar, it all depended on Vann's own abilities.

But in fact Hasel really wished Vann to stay alive, however Hasel had indirectly considered Vann as his student.

"It seems that I don't need to accompany your sad self anymore, I will go to my house again" said the departing Gostaf. The goal here is to accompany Hasel to throw away his sadness at the loss of someone he considers a student after 4 years of not recruiting anymore, but now Vann has returned so that Gustaf is not interested in continuing here.

Seeing Gostaf leave, Hasel said to Githa "Let's go, Yazer previously lost consciousness first without explaining all the problems regarding the Monster Laboratory. But now that there is Vann, he must have given us a further explanation of what happened in the Magma Labyrinth before".
