Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Killing Intent
The following day, Evan left his room and made his way to the front of the hotel, where four buses were waiting to transport the participants to the tournament.

Each bus had logos of different academies at the top of them.

There will be a total of five academies that will participate in the tournament.

Astarte Academy – Astarte City

Arcanum Academy – Aquaville City

Clear Sky Academy – Naphliam City

Black Raven Academy – Ravehurst City

Central Academy – Central City

Since the central academy is located in the central city their students were not staying in the hotel with other participants.

Just as Evan came out, he noticed two girls and three boys talking to each other some distance away from him.

Suddenly one of the girls looked in his direction and Evan can’t help but sigh in his heart.

“Yo, I thought you actually lied at that time when you said you will participate in the tournament since you didn’t answer our call” Sophie said loudly while waving at him.

Hearing Sophie, David, Caleb, Mark and a girl who had silver colour hair looked in Evan’s direction.

‘Looks like I can’t avoid them this time’ Evan thought inwardly and went towards them.

“I was busy with some work yesterday so could not answer your call” Evan lied through his teeth as he stopped in front of them.

“Don’t worry about that” Mark said and rested his large shield on the ground.

Just like last time, Sophie was the only one looks normal in his eyes.

Even though they were still outside of the hotel, Mark was carrying his big shield because of his guarding complex.

Caleb was looking at him with glistening eyes but he wisely ignored him knowing his personality.

‘I wonder what will happen when this guy will see that trap character’ Evan can’t help but say after thinking about what will happen when Caleb will see Noah.

David was wearing sunglasses and had a calm smile but a haughty look on his face. He was looking like someone who is going for an interview instead of a tournament.

Their ranks were still the same, Sophie was B+ rank, and the other three were at B rank. As for the last girl who was looking at Evan curiously, she was also B+ rank just like Sophie which surprised Evan.

“You guys arrived yesterday?” Evan asked.

“Yeah,” Caleb nodded, “we were supposed to be here two days ago, but our principal was busy with some work and we got delayed.”

“Excuse me, but can I ask you something?” suddenly the silver coloured hair girl said to Evan out of nowhere.

Evan and others looked at her wondering what she wanted to ask.

“Hello, I am Helia fifth member of their team” the girl introduced herself

“It’s nice to meet you Helia, I am Evan” Evan nodded his head, “What do you want to ask?” It was the first time he met her so he was wondering what she wanted to ask.

“Forgive my rudeness, but can you tell me what is your rank?” Helia asked in a stiff voice because she wasn’t able to sense his rank.

She was already B+ rank so the only thing that came into her mind was that Evan’s rank is higher than her which didn’t make any sense to her considering his age.

Hearing Helia, Sophie and others tried to sense Evan’s rank but their face also stiffened when they were not able to sense his rank.

Evan was not surprised by her question because he already expected someone to ask this question at some point.

“I am B+ rank” Evan said as the aura of B+ rank came out of his body, “I have a skill that can hide my aura which is why you can’t sense it.”

Using shadow shrouding wings, Evan was controlling his aura which is why only the aura of a B+ rank hunter came out of his body.

“Oh, I see” Helia nodded her head and sighed in relief after hearing Evan. She was afraid that he is an A rank hunter.

“How…how is this possible?” suddenly Helia heard David’s trembling voice and she was stunned when she noticed how Sophie and others were looking at Evan with their mouth wide open.

“How did you reach B+ rank in such a short period of time… Weren’t you just a D+ rank hunter during the monster tide of Naphliam city?” Sophie asked while trying her best to remain calm.

“What?” Helia was once again shocked when she heard Sophie and looked back at Evan like she was looking at an alien.

“About that…” Evan said with a smile on his face. Sophie and others looked at him eagerly wanting to know how can someone increase their rank four times in less than a month. But the words that came out of his mouth made them want to beat the shit out of him, “it’s a trade secret.”

Sophie and the eyes of the others couldn’t help but twitch when they saw the smile on Evan’s face. They really wanted to punch him. But none of them were fools, they knew that since Evan didn’t answer their question, it meant he didn’t want to talk about it, so they didn’t say anything more about his rank.

But suddenly Mark thought about something else and he looked at Evan weirdly, “Can you..can you still summon the monster that was fighting beside you during the monster tide.”

Mark asked this question because if Evan can summon that monster then doesn’t it mean they will have one extra B+ rank monster to help them during the tournament.

Moreover, they all saw Aqua’s power during monster tide and they knew it was definitely more powerful than normal B+ rank monsters.

When Mark asked the question, Sophie and the others also looked at him weirdly.

“Of course, I can summon it,” Evan said in a matter-of-fact voice. But when he saw their expressions, he decided not to tell them that it is now an A rank monster instead of a B+ rank. If he tells them Auqa is now an A rank monster, who knows what kind of face they will make.

As he was talking to them, Evan suddenly felt someone looking at him with a slightly killing intent.

He immediately looked in the direction from where he felt the killing intent, but he can’t help but frown when he saw four people talking to each other.

Most importantly, all four of them were S rankers.

Other than Nathan, the rest of the three were the principals of the other three academies.

Amanda, the principal of Clear Sky Academy was also there.

The principal of the Black Raven Academy was a middle-aged man named John while the principal of Arcanum Academy was a red-haired woman named Morgana.

“What’s wrong,” Caleb asked when he saw Evan was looking somewhere else.

“Nothing” Evan shook his head when he heard Caleb and stopped looking at them.

‘Was I imagining things?’ Evan thought to himself because he can’t think of any reason for those S rankers to show killing intent towards him.
