THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 34. Please Be Soft

On the spectacle stage, in the center of the stage, there were two groups of people standing apart. One was a group of freshmen and the other was a senior group, both of whom had just entered the competition. Suddenly, a light appeared in the center of the stage and a figure sitting cross-legged appeared slowly as the light disappeared. Once the light appeared, all the spectators took a step back and cleared a significant distance. Everyone looked at him with different expressions. Some of them looked at him with fear, some with admiration, some with hatred.

Who else but Sam?

Sam just sat there and meditated with a peaceful expression on his face. The head of the family from the noble family and the city lord looked at him as if they wanted to tear him apart. But Sam did not mind it and sat there as if he were in his own house. This made the other freshmen look at him with renewed respect. They clearly saw how ruthless he could kill someone. His methods are worse than death. But now looking at his handsome face with a peaceful expression, they could not relate at all.

The Headmaster stood up from his seat and broke the silence.

"The assessment for admissions this year is over and both new and senior students performed well in the third round." He spoke as he looked at all the freshmen and seniors. Although, he spoke as if he was praising them, anyone could tell, he had not intended at all.

All the students who met his gaze lowered their heads. He then continued. "The third chapter is won by new students. Now all seniors can leave, except the top three ranks." As soon as he spoke, all the seniors left the stage and walked deep into the academy. There were only three seniors left on the vast stage. They were Mason, Dorman and other seniors who were fire element mages at the final stage. The headmaster nodded at them and then looked at the new student. He then spoke again.

"From today onwards all of you are students of Starwood academy. You will be given residence within the academy and you can apply for classes that you think are suitable. If you can't decide, you can ask your seniors to help. Now unless the names are on your list you can all get off the stage." Once she is done, a big screen pops up and there are only four names on the list and those names are Sam, Melisa, Jack and Shawn.

After only the four of them were left on the stage, the Headmaster looked at the seven members on the stage and then spoke. “Now the prize will be given to all of you.

Third place senior team Howard. Five hundred Academic credits.

Second place senior team Dorman a thousand SKS Academic.

Champion I Senior team Thousand and five hundred Academic SKS.

Now move on to a new student team. You have three types of rank. Second round ranking. Third round ranking. Overall rating. I will announce everything simultaneously, because there is not much difference.

Melisa – Round two of the fourth rank, round three of the third rank, Overall of the third rank. A total of 1000 Academic CREDITS.

Jack – Second round third place, third round second place, Second overall rating. A total of 2500 Academic CREDITS.

Shawn-Round second-ranked, third-round third-ranked, Overall second-ranked, Total 2500 Academic points." After announcing their name the Headmaster looked at Sam, who was still meditating, without caring about what happened.he would open his mouth Someone spoke.

"School head, I don't think he's fit to enroll in the academy." The one who spoke to the head of his Crimson Fire family. The headmaster frowned as he looked at her. At this moment the other family heads spoke.

"I think the Old Red Fire Patriarch is telling the truth. I also feel like he doesn't fit in." Said the head of the heart family.

"I agree." The head of the Greyhound family.

"I think I've made myself clear about acceptance. You have no voice in this matter." The Headmaster's voice was getting colder. Then the voice of the City Lord came.

"School Head, don't you see, how cruel he is to his own schoolmates. He was at a very young age, but he was very cruel. He killed so many members for such a trivial thing as insulting. If we raise someone like him. It would be like growing a snake inside our own home. He's not at all suited to the academy." The Headmaster was about to say something, but suddenly an elder from the academy spoke.

"School head, I think what the city lord said makes sense. His character doesn't match our academy at all."

Another elder chimed in. "He didn't even wink when he tortured them, He was cruel."

"Yes, Principal. You have to think clearly. He's been too cruel."

When the headmaster looked at these three elders and the look on the face of the head of the family, he clearly understood the situation. These Elders were all minions from noble families.

"ENOUGH. Do I need to remind you who's in charge?" The Headmaster raised his voice while making every elder silent."

"Do I have an opinion here?" Suddenly a voice came from the stage. All the spectators looked towards the stage and saw, Sam who had been meditating all this time spoke while opening his eyes and slowly standing up. He stretched his body slightly as he looked at all the Family heads and elders. All of them looked at him to listen to what he had to say.

Sam turned towards the Elders and said. "I want to ask you a question. Did I break the rules?" Once they heard his question, all the spectators were stunned. That's right he didn't break the rules at all. So, they had no reason to reject his confession. But this Elder was not willing to give up. One of them spoke.

"It's not about rules. You really have no character. With your cruelty, you will become a tumor for society, let alone the Academy."

Listening to the answer, no one believed. But no one called him either. Sam only nodded as he had a brooding expression on his face. Then he looked at the head of the Family and asked.

"What's the matter with you guys?" The head of the family nearly exploded when they heard the indifferent tone in his voice. But they remained calm and the head of the Crimson fire family spoke.

"You killed our spring. So, never think of using the academy to avoid the consequences."

"Carl is a descendant of nobility.

He has a great future.

He hasn't seen the world, how could he die at the hands of a farmer like you? Even if he tries to kill you, it should be your honor" He spoke as if he was declaring a universal truth. Sam suddenly felt speechless as if he was looking at the head of the Family who nodded his head in agreement.

He shook his head and spoke. "Do you know why they died?"

All the family heads frowned as they looked at him and he continued. "Because you rubbed your hypocrisy on them. You should have told them one thing. They can use their status to live in society, but they cannot live with it in battle." He stopped and continued.

"Let me give you a very good reason why I could kill them. Because he provoked with insufficient strength.

So, what if he was born as a noble. She's weak.

So, what if he has a bright future. She's weak.

So, what if I'm a farmer. She's weak.

So, what if he has status. He was finally weak. So shut up and stop showing off your hypocrisy." He then turned towards the Headmaster and said. "What did you decide about acceptance?"

Before the headmaster could speak, an elder spoke before beating him up. "A rude boy like you can only dream about getting recognition. Principal, I think we should teach him a lesson instead. You also heard how he spoke." Sam raised his eyebrows and took a good look at the opposing elders and then the head of the family. Then he looked at the Headmaster and said.

"I actually don't like to say much, but since it's about the academy where future generations are built, I'll make an exception." He stopped and breathed. Then he pointed at the elders who spoke earlier and continued. "Academies that have these people, people whose teaching values are affected by things like power, authority, and wealth as teachers. I don't really expect that the academy can educate good students. As far as I know, the quality of students will depend on the teacher who nurtures them. So, I refused to go to this school."

As soon as he finished, he saw shock in everyone's eyes. Including the principal. Then he looked at the appearance of the head of the noble family, who was a little surprised but also happy. But before they could get really excited, Sam did something that really felt like cold water splashed onto their faces.

Sam took out two badges and started rubbing them with his sleeves, then he pinned them both on his chest on the mantle, then he looked at all the dumbfounded gazes from the spectators before finally stopping at the head of the family. He then spoke. "Good luck killing me. But I have a suggestion for you. If you guys aren't confident enough to kill me or if you think there's a slight chance I can escape. You better stay quiet and do nothing because if you're a miss, I'll make sure that I won't miss you at all." He got off the stage and walked towards the exit. The faces of the heads of the families look attractive. They clearly saw what badge Sam was wearing. They were badges of pseudo rank 2 artisans and artisan scholars. They're now sweating on the reality of how they offended Sam. They even made progress to kill him. They regret it so much now.

Seeing Sam's back, Philip and his friends followed him. The city lord and the head of the red fire family looked at Haley and Freya hesitantly before leaving with the same foolish expression. But they did not dare to stop him. They already regretted their actions; they did not want to further offend Sam.

Philip and the Others meet Sam. They had absolutely no idea what to talk about seeing Sam's expression and continued walking along. But after a while Philip broke the silence.

"Sam are you sure, you don't want to join the academy?" He asked with concern.

Sam was silent. In fact, he was quite annoyed by the attitude of the teachers from the academy. Seeing his silent face, Philip continued.

“Actually, the academy selection this time is more than a normal assessment. According to my father there was something big going on in the town of Count [Noble title]. That's why, Freya, Haley and Paul were all accepted last year even though they were all just initiated. My dad says the count requires a young talent for something. So, you may miss this opportunity, if you refuse acceptance.

Hearing Philip's words, Sam's expression changed, but he said nothing. He then looks at them and finally stops at Haley and Freya. "Forget it. Lefs go. I have something to do." He spoke and the rest followed silently.

After a while, the group of six came to a place that made Philip and the others look astonished. They were in front of the stele tower. When they saw Sam about to enter the tower. They have a feeling that something is going to happen.

Finally, after two hours they came out, with Sam taking the lead. Sam has a red badge that has '1' and 9 gold stars underneath. Then there were the brush and scroll symbols and runes underneath. Everyone in the tower and the staff were in an uproar. Philip and the others also looked at him in awe, they were still in a daze as they followed Sam without thinking about what was going on. Before they know it, they are somewhere else. Then they were dumbfounded again. They were in front of the Formation tower. This time they felt their hearts out of place. They looked at Sam as if they were looking at a monster. When they compare themselves to him? Never mind...

After some time, Sam had a blue color badge with '1' and nine stars in common, but at the bottom was a formation flag. Looking at the badge on his chest, Sam felt quite satisfied. But he then took it off and pinned it inside his coat and then turned towards Philip and the others. "Let's go to my treat today." Then he walked towards the house by the river.

It's already dusk. In the riverside mansion, Sam and Philip were sitting around the campfire. There are birds above the fire. Sam took this bird-type beast from the appraisal ground. As the birds roasted, everyone fell silent because they did not know what to say. There were too many surprises today. The first was that Sam was much stronger and the second was that Sam became a rank 1 inscription master and a Formation master.

Sam looked at their faces and spoke after he sighed. "Ms Freya, Ms. Haley. I'm really sorry. I know it's uncomfortable for you guys, but I have to say. I can't just leave your relatives behind, just based on our relationship. Because I don't think our relationship is close enough. So, if you want to stay away from me. I'm not gonna stop you. We can act as strangers." As soon as Sam spoke, Haley and Freya froze a moment later Freya spoke.

"You don't have to apologize. Actually me and Carl aren't close. He was the illegitimate son of my father and we did not have a good relationship. In fact, I hated it to the guts. It's just that I'm afraid, you're gonna hate me for what my family did." As soon as Freya finished, Haley also said.

"I also have nothing to do with what happened. Even Harry was also the son of a concubine. You don't have to apologize." He stopped and then took a deep breath and then looked at Freya. Freya also met her gaze and the two of them nodded and turned towards Sam again as Haley continued.

"Actually, we're the ones who have to apologize for what our family did. We also have requests to ask for. We hope you can be lenient if our family doesn't provoke you further." They both looked at him with pleading eyes. They're both scared. Because, with Sam's status as an Artisan, an Inscription master and a Formation master, all he needed was to say a word and make some promises, then there would be many individual cultivators, then there would be many individual cultivators, as well, who is willing to take revenge for him. That's why they begged him. Sam then nodded and said nothing. They then chatted lightly while eating the grilled meat quietly.

Meanwhile, many in the city were in an uproar as news of Sam rejecting his recognition and status as an Artisan spread throughout the city. Then they heard another shocking news, after leaving the exam location, Sam went to the Inscription tower and formation tower and passed the rank 1 examination. The head of the family is especially agitated. They want to make visits and compromise. But they don't know how they should proceed. There are others who are also restless now. That is the Head of the Academy.

He was already a little regretful, about Sam not receiving that confession. Now that he heard that Sam was also an inscription master and a Formation master, he instantly lost his composure. "I must act immediately. Otherwise, the loss .. I can't let it go." He muttered as he walked out.
