Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Here’s the Chance Chapter 118: Here’s the Chance Students have a higher social status in the academy than the academy hunters.

In most cases, the academy hunters have no choice-but to do what students ask them to do no matter how absurd it would be, as long as it’s within the academy’s scope.

Likewise, above the students were the professors.

Professors are the second highest authority figures below the headmaster.

Other than very big decisions, they pulled the shots.

Additionally, students and academy hunters within the academy respected them.

Becoming a professor isn’t easy, to obtain that position one would need to contribute to the Light World heavily.

Each one of the professors had done that and thus, the entire academy respected them.

So when Lucivar did this, Professor Victor was stunned.

He was not accustomed to being treated like this as he has never been treated like this.

“How dare you?

Do you want to forfeit your life that badly?” “Yeah, kill me right now if you want to.

Until you do-I will not let you leave until you give me your approval!” Professor Victor was stunned by the response.

‘His eyes…

He’s burning with the vigor of youth, he’s determined’ He thought in surprise.

Just earlier, he was burning with the desire to teach Lucivar a lesson but that disappeared in an instant.

He gazed at Lucivar’s eyes and found that they were unshakable-almost as if he was really ready to die from doing this.

In addition, there was desperation hidden behind Lucivar’s eyes.

Something was bothering him.

and the prospect of not obtaining Professor Victor’s approval heightened the desperation.

He was so desperate and afraid that his body reacted by doing something brazen.

Glancing down, Professor Victor saw Lucivar’s legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Even his arm, pinning the door close was trembling in fear.

‘Why is Aeldric, fixed on this new hunter?

And to make him this desperate what did that old fart have on him?’ Professor Victor remained-fixated on Lucivar, he had multiple questions inside his head regarding this situation.

Other than the purity of Lucivar’s bloodline, he wasn’t that interesting.

Compared to the twins, he was lackluster, all because his bloodline was not of a high grade.

So the fact that Aeldric was interested in Lucivar was puzzling for him.

“Do you have a death wish?

Do you really want to risk offending me?” “I’m scared of offending you-even my body is shaking as we speak.

You are the strongest of the professors, respected by many, it would be weird for me not to be afraid.

But I can’t fail in getting your approval” Upon hearing this, Professor Victor pivoted his body to face Lucivar.

A minute already passed since his supposed class started.

He was never late in getting into his class but even then, he stayed and inspected Lucivar.

“Tell me one good reason why I should give you a chance” Professor Victor demanded.

But Lucivar didn’t need more than a second to answer, “Because I have a chance to win and if I win the academy will share the glory.

Heck, if you give me a chance to at least-prove to you that I’m capable, I’ll mention your name in my winning speech” Lucivar was radiating with confidence.

Coupled with his firm but enchanting golden eyes, Professor Victor was swayed.

“Dreams…

you are only selling dreams,” Professor Victor chuckled, he could tell that Lucivar was probably using this to sell him to his sponsors.

“But even so-I’ll bite.

I will give you one chance” Hearing this, Lucivar was ecstatic.

All he needed was a chance so that he could convince Professor Victor.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open-and a man wearing the exact same outfit as the one Professor Victor was wearing was the one who opened the door.

He was surprised- when he saw Professor Victor and Lucivar by the door.

Finding that Lucivar was not someone important, he continued what he came here for.

“Professor, your class is waiting for you…” “Yes, tell the students to warm up.

I will be there” “Also, the Hybrid Association was pressing us to send a team for the blue dungeon in Kalinan City.

It has a high concentration of ether, so the dungeon should be a hard one.

A lot of our- hunter teams fitted for this dungeon are out except for one” “Whose team is it?” “It’s the seventh team from the third year, they could depart right now” Upon hearing this, Professor Victor pondered for a second.

He then eventually nodded his head.

“Give the mission to them,” He finally instructed.

Nodding his head, the man instantly prepared to leave, “Right away, I’ll inform them” Just then, Professor Victor grabbed him by the shoulder.

“Also, bring this new hunter and his team with them,” He pointed at Lucivar with his thumb.

Puzzled, the man turned towards Lucivar and frowned, this was a blue dungeon and a new academy hunter like Lucivar would not be able to keep up.

Even most of the second year- wouldn’t be able to keep up.

And worse of it all, he couldn’t tell if Professor Victor was being serious or not.

He looked back and forth between Lucivar and Professor Victor.

Clearing his throat, the man asked, “Is he and his team going to observe…?” “No, not observe,” Professor Victor shook his head.

“before the main team tackles the blue dungeon, his team would go first-to see if they could take the dungeon down without the main team needing to do anything” “What…?

Go first?” the man was at a loss for words.

Professor Victor was basically saying he wanted to kill a team of new academy hunters.

A suicide squad-this wouldn’t end well for any team from the first year.

Before the man could retort, Professor Victor already turned towards Lucivar with a smile.

“Here’s the chance you wanted.

So, are you still confident?

Are you going to take it or not?” Considering the difficulty of a blue dungeon, this was very challenging.

Even a group of Acolyte-rank Hybrids wouldn’t be able to close a blue dungeon easily.

A Chrysalis-rank Hybrid could handle a blue dungeon solo, though weaker ones-had only a fifty-fifty chance of success.

Considering the wide gap that exists between a Chrysalis-rank Hybrid-and an Acolyte-rank Hyrbid with one being able to control their Attributes, the ratio was shocking.

It was that hard to close a blue dungeon.

Even so, Lucivar smiled-this was exactly what he wanted from Professor Victor.

“Much less going with a team, I would even dive in alone if you asked for it.

I wouldn’t mind…” “Good.

Once you close the dungeon, I will give you my approval” Once he said that Professor Victor walked out of his room and headed to his class.

Now Lucivar and the man were left behind and the man was staring at him in disbelief.

“Are you trying to gain Professor Victor’s approval for the South Hues tournament…?” “Is it that obvious?” “And you seriously going to accept his condition?” “Yep, not that I have a choice” Upon hearing this, the man was flabbergasted, he couldn’t understand what Lucivar meant.

He has a choice, he could refuse and not participate in the tournament.

“Do you have a death wish…?

You’ll die, the reported Crossers in there are Rock Golems and Stone Orcs.

If you’re thinking, that you could find the proselytes to close the dungeon, you’d be wrong!” “Hmm?

Why is that?” “It had gotten strong enough to enter the dungeon, you’ll have to go inside to close it” Lucivar was mildly surprised by this.

He would be lying if he hadn’t thought to kill the proselytes as that was the easiest for him.

But it seemed he couldn’t do that.

“Outstanding…” He muttered as a wry smile crossed his face.

Seeing that Lucivar finally understood what he was getting into-the man nodded, “If I were you, I’d run after Professor Victor, and pull back from the challenge.

You still have a lot more ahead, there’s no need to risk it all right now” “Nah,” Lucivar shook his head.

“It seemed you’ve mistaken something” Lucivar walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him before he spared a glance at the man again, “I am not walking into this to die…

this is me trying to crawl out of the grave- not falling into it” As he said that, Lucivar walked away.

He needs to prepare as it seemed the departure is going to be today.

Heading to the exit, Lucivar glanced at the man a little, smiling.

‘Seems like there are normal people in this academy, he knew that I was aiming to participate in the tournament but he didn’t mind me representing the academy even though I’m a hunter, not a student’ Moments later.

Lucivar had gotten permission from Fabio to go tackle the blue dungeon.

Even though his pending time was over, this could be considered as him doing his work as an academy hunter so Fabio didn’t fret about it too much.

Now-Lucivar was standing in front of the Bastion of Blades with his gear and also Sabrina beside him.

He was only wearing the academy hunter uniform, a bag behind him, and his new dagger.

As for Sabrina, she would be coming because she was bored being cramped inside.

Departure would be in twenty minutes so he needed to rush.

But it seemed he was the first one to be prepared.

“It’s so nice that we could fight together again,” “Really?

Are you really okay with this?” “Of course, we should help each other.

Lucivar needed help so we should help” “You really need to loosen up, we’re basically got dragged here” “Well, we could use this as training.

It’s not that bad for us” Coming from the mouth of the cave were a couple of figures, familiar figures to be exact.

Since Professor Victor allowed him to have a team, he decided to ask the others to come.

He told the others that they could try to see a blue dungeon together.

Of course, Leandra was against it as she didn’t trust Lucivar but it’s not like she had a choice, Lucivar forced her to come, in return for forcing him to go on a date, with Thalia.

On the other hand, the others didn’t need to be convinced.

All of them were excited that they could be on the same team and fight together again.

Leandra, Mirel, and Nerissa came out of the cave.

All three of them had different expressions once they saw Lucivar waiting.

Leandra was annoyed, Mirel was avoiding eye contact-while Nerissa was smiling at him.

“Have you waited long?” Nerissa asked, smiling from ear to ear.

Lucivar shook his head, “Not long.

So, are you guys ready?” “Ready as much as you are, lead the way” Leandra replied, stretching her body.

On the side, Mirel nodded, “Hmm…

let’s get this over with” Upon seeing them ready, Lucivar wanted to turn around and lead the way but stopped.

Nerissa grabbed his arm, “Wait a minute, there’s one more” “One more…?

I thought I only asked you guys and Bakar” Lucivar raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

But then, his eyes darted to the cave’s mouth before he gasped.

Another figure stepped out.

“A field trip, woohoo~!” “Ravenna?!

You’re coming too?!”
