436 Fall and Rise - VII
"So this is the finished report?" Fernando asked.
"Hmm, there a few things here that are not explained," Fernando said looking at Asher.
"Just fix these things, the rest of the report is good enough,"
"In the meantime, I will arrange for your departure tomorrow," Fernando said.
The Trip to Halcyon was 12 days long, and today was the third day when Asher presented his final report.
"Anything else you need, just inform me," Fernando tapped his ID Bracelet.
Asher turned to leave as Fernando picked up the research report again.
"It's scary how fast he completed it," He muttered.
"Thank god, I delayed him yesterday,"
Fernando was surprised to see such a detailed report by Asher knowing that he had to redo his whole research.
Despite the rumors around Asher, and his cold personality, every Professor knew that Asher Greville was a genius in academics. The undisputed Rank 1 in all subjects, even Eva Williams who was regarded as a prodigy from a young age couldn't overtake him a single time.
That's why Fernando was trying so hard to point out mistakes that normally nobody would have pointed out.
Asher returned to his room and looked at the numerous calculations that he had done the past days.
He started adding all the things that Fernando had pointed out, as it wasn't difficult to mention the methods that Asher used and explain them.
Unlike his original report, this one was closely related to a research that was already done before.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Asher touched his heart as he didn't why he was feeling like this.
Since yesterday, he was feeling this strange feeling, and he felt restless. It was the first time he felt like this.
A person who had never once felt fear for something, was being restless but for what?
He himself didn't know the answer for it.
"Is it because I can't meet her?" Asher muttered.
A small smile appeared on his face, but he couldn't shake off this strange feeling.

"You are stupid," A young boy spoke,
"Watch how you speak kiddo," Damian as he clenched his fist.
"Don't forget I will be your senior when you join World Academy," Damian said while smiling.
Nate's eyes glanced down at Damian's fist.
"Anyway, don't get angry, but you really are stupid," Nate didn't sugarcoat his words.
"And why are you asking me for advice?" Nate asked.
"Ask Big Bro Asher or someone else," Nate said.
"This kid..." Damian muttered.
If he could, he would have asked someone else but the matter involved Asher and Amelia and his own personal feelings.
"Anyway, why don't you guys have a simple talk?" Nate said.
"Why make things so complicated? Just have a conversation and solve it,"
"It's fine, It's fine, It's fine," Alyssa muttered.
"Everything will be fine after I do this," She muttered.
"Mother, I can finally do something for you, and I can help him as well," Alyssa looked at the vial in her hand.
Meanwhile in the Royal Castle,
Leonard was sitting drinking wine while looking at the card in his hand.
"You worry too much Reece," Leonard said.
"It's better to have full control over such people, one mistake and the whole plan would go to waste," Leonard said.
"But that artifact has limited use, I am not sure if it's worth using it," Reece said.
"Don't worry, I trust my eyes and from what I have seen, this will be worth it," Leonard said.
"What's the progress with 'that' artifact," Leonard asked.
"It's ready to be used on your orders," Reece replied.
"That's good, hahaha," Leonard laughed.
Reece disconnected the call as Leonard kept laughing as he looked at the night sky full of stars.
"I wonder what expressions you would show," Leonard said.
Leonard flipped the card like artifact that had many names engraved on it, and red jewel in the middle was glowing.
Among the many names written on it, the last one was 'Alyssa Astaria'.
It was the next morning,
"Good Morning Students, you will continue your Dungeon Exploration today as well, but you are free to explore the city tomorrow," Arman said.
"But we will make group of 50 students so give us the names of the people you want to be with, we will make groups by taking that in consideration," Arman said.
Every single one of them got excited as they could finally enjoy the trip.
"For the dungeon raid, the groups will remain the same, you can join your mentors," Arman said.
"Nice, we can explore tomorrow!" Kevin said out loud.
"Someone is excited," Eva chuckled.
Kevin glanced at Elena, and Elena smiled understanding Kevin's intentions.
"I asked Lishia to tell me a few good spots, we can explore tomorrow," Elena said.
"But let's complete the task for today early so we can rest and enjoy tomorrow," Elena added.
Amelia and Eva nodded with a smile, as everyone went toward their mentors.
At the Royal Guild Headquarters,
"What do you mean, we have no task for today?" A man with a group of hunters asked.
"Exactly what I said, there is a shift as we don't need extra people, the orders came from above so no point arguing with me," The man at the reception said.
"Ah, and we were looking to earn some quick money," The man said.
"Anyway, ping us when a new task or dungeon request comes up," He said waving his hand and leaving with his group.
The man at the reception updated the patrolling duty as he canceled the requests that were up.
"Why do they even add such request if they wanted to remove them later," He said while editing all the request at the guild.
