Chapter 215: Chapter 39: Indulging in Passion and Blooded Recklessness 2

As for the little girl at the core of the “Seed,” she had long since stopped crying and returned to her state of eternal sleep.
She was already a “Spirit,” deeply bound to the seed of origin, with power only second to Link’s.
The seed of origin required ample resources for nurturing, as did she.
Sleep was conducive to her growth.
It also alleviated sorrow!?).
Link took a step forward and walked into the light gate.
Moments later, Link’s figure emerged in the plaza.
Dozens of hovercars were neatly parked around the plaza’s perimeter.
People had already started boarding the hovercars, waiting to return to the academy.
Link, carrying a large bag, headed toward the hovercar he had ridden before.
Jasmine, Buck, Ezio, Digee, Linn, Dalton were all on the hovercar.
The Social Phobia Trio, Betty. Maggie, Mitte. Brent, Terry. Nurnberg, have purposefully changed their seats to be beside the Brotherhood Group.
Apart from Link, all 30 of the Southern District’s first-year New Blood who took part in the competition were present.
“Boss, you finally came out.”
Buck waved his hand and deliberately exclaimed loudly, “Did you receive so many rewards for getting first place that you couldn’t count them all?” Hearing this tone, Link knew that, in his absence, some people must have been talking behind his back.
Buck couldn’t help but argue with them.
Now he was eager to pursue the matter and take the chance to ridicule them further.
Link laughed and said, “I did get first place, but the awards aren’t that many.” If there was a minion who willingly acknowledged his leadership at the moment, indulging the minion’s swaggering tendencies every now and then wouldn’t hurt.
Moreover, Link clinching the first place in the competition of both districts wasn’t a secret that needed to be kept hidden.
Soon, everyone would know.
The academy wouldn’t keep it a secret.
I told you, it had to be my boss who got first place.”
Buck raised his head in extreme pride, acting as if he shared in Link’s glory.
He glanced sidelong at certain people from time to time.
Link looked in the direction of Buck’s gaze and found that the person he was looking at was none other than Isko Alex.
It’s this idiot. Contempt is absolutely warranted.
The members of the Brotherhood Group immediately congratulated each other.
Isko Alex’s face was as gray as death.
The Social Phobia Group seemed eager to join the fray, looking rather out of character for their socially anxious selves.
Link ignored the complex looks from others and, amidst the noise of the Brotherhood Group, walked over to the seat next to Jasmine that had been specifically saved for him and sat down.
The hovercar took off, heading toward the academy.
After a long silence, Jasmine spoke in a seemingly casual manner, “I wonder what happened to the ‘World’ in the end.”
“Destructive Rescue,” they had seen scenes of destruction on the big screen, but they hadn’t seen any signs of rescue.
Successfully completing the Righteous Faction mission was essentially an academy ruling.
Whether or not any subsequent rescue operations took place, Jasmine didn’t know. But she wanted to know.
Link thought for a moment and said, “Things must be destroyed before they can be rebuilt. Destruction is always easier than construction. It takes time to recover.”
“Hmm.”
Jasmine nodded without asking further.
She was aware of this principle. She just wanted to get some definite news from Link.
Or hints.
“Let’s rest first.”
The hovercar was filled with chatter; Link didn’t want to discuss too much.
Moreover, digging tunnels is exhausting.
Although he had traveled through the inter-dimensional portal and returned, not much time had passed.
He was still tired.
The Brotherhood Group created a ruckus for a while before finally dying down. Under the relatively quiet atmosphere, the hovercar entered the academy grounds.
To their surprise, Wizard Palo was waiting at the station with Serene Wizard and Wizard Cody!
His face glowed with pride and high spirits.
Everyone in the car knew about Wizard Palo’s bet with Wizard Peter Lionel.
Seeing this scene, they knew exactly who he was waiting for.
Thus, under the blatant “intimidation” of the Brotherhood Group, it was decided that Link should be the first to get off the car.
Lanny Taylor clenched her lips, turned her head away and didn’t look at Link nor anyone outside the window.
Today’s sunshine was a bit too blinding.
“Come, come over here, quickly.”
The moment he saw Link getting off the car, Wizard Palo immediately beckoned, appearing very eager.
Hello Wizard Palo. How do you do, Wizard Serene, Wizard Cody?”
Link sped up a few steps, not to keep them waiting.
He had an accurate measure of the situation and didn’t let his status as a
hero get to his head and forget his manners.
With the same respect as before, he politely greeted each of the three wizards.
“Good, very good.”
Wizard Palo laughed heartily, exceedingly satisfied with Link’s performance in the competition and even more so with his manners after stepping off the hovercar.
A shallow smile graced the corners of Serene Wizard’s mouth as she nodded to Link.
Wizard Cody maintained a serious expression and remained silent.
“Come, let’s go somewhere.”
Wizard Palo invited them, leading the way to a low-key luxurious hovercar.
Naturally, Link followed Wizard Serene and Wizard Cody.
The hovercar sped swiftly.
Reflecting Wizard Palo’s evident eagerness.
Shortly after, they had Ravensmouth City in sight.
Once inside the city, the hovercar directly traveled along Ring City Boulevard to the North District and stopped in front of a villa.
Wizard Palo was the first to get off the hovercar, followed by Serene Wizard and then Wizard Cody.
As the lowly shrimp, Link was the last to follow them into the villa.
This was Link’s first time stepping foot in the North District.
His last visit was brief, as he had just passed through it on a rail transit train.
As for going inside these villas, that was even less likely.
Following the servant’s guidance, the group arrived at a private room on the third floor.
