Chapter 118 - waiting

Nick put the jade token in his inventory before he went back to recovering silently. As nick waited for jakob news of nicks spar with the second lotus spread through the academy before reaching the other academies through their spy's in the academy. In each of the other academies the higher ups of those academies were all gathered in secret to discuss the news. "so it was the same brat who used that terrifying item to clear out the land behind us?" an old man with no hair and a horrible scar on the left side of his face asked seriously. "aye that's what the report says though even i find it difficult to imagine such an attack could be used by such a weak cultivator." another old man with long white hair and crimson eyes said . the scarred old man nods his head solemnly "that lad might be a hidden monster who rarely shows their strength like the one from all those years back." a plain looking women said seriously. everyone present shivered slightly as they thought of that person who remained low key until he was nigh unstoppable. " if he is like that person then we need to know his personality as well as background before we make any moves." a hooded man said. everyone there nodded in agreement.

meanwhile while nick had fully recovered and was playing with azdra who was chasing a marble sized orb of energy nick was controlling next to the arena jakob was on. the little wyrm was trying his hardest to catch the orb which kept suddenly changing directions right when he was about to get it causing him to become angry which made his scales change color to a deep purple. nick was so surprised by this change that he forgot to control the orb and so azdra finally caught it which made him happy which caused his scales to turn green further stunning nick. azdra proudly brought the orb to nick with a look that of contentment on his face. nick calmed down and observed azdra to see if there were any changes beyond having different colored scales but couldn't see any so he just rubbed the wyrms head while congratulating him. azdra was thrilled at his fathers praise and climbed up nick before taking his normal spot around nicks neck.

After about an hour the isolation formation on jakobs area disappeared to reveal jakob looking haggard with wounds from head to toe and massive tears in his clothes. jakobs opponent however looked completely fine with the exception of being covered in sweat. "ah that was fun do come back to play with me again when you get stronger." the muscular girl said while blowing a kiss at jakob who shivered at the thought. "ok , so what happened in there?" nick asked unable to stop his curiosity. jakob glared at nick "i don't want to talk about it." he said irritably. nick shrugged and the jakob asked about if nick got to spar as well. "i did actually though my opponent was a bit of a disappointment since besides being skilled and fast enough to keep up with me when i wasn't using my laws she basically was at her very limit in order to do so." nick said with a disappointed sigh. "wait a second you said she? exactly who did you fight?" jakob said as he had a sneaking suspicion but wasn't sure until nick spoke up. "nobody too important just the second lotus."
