Only Wisdom Awakened - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Finally Over
The following morning, after a refreshing cup of coffee, Hans bid farewell to the dean and the rest of the team, since the first semester was about to start, and they needed a bit of time to prepare.

Hans was the only one who remained in Greenland since his mission was yet to be completed.

“Well, then, I’ll see you in a few weeks, make sure to come back before the start of the semester, it’ll be kind of hard to tell the students their favorite teacher won’t be there for the first day of the second semester.”

Said the Dean.

“Since have I been their favorite teacher?”

Asked Hans.

“Since you became famous”

She replied jokingly.

“By the way, that thing I promised to gift to you is at the airport, as soon as you show up they will take you where you want.

The official ownership has not been passed to you yet, since it’s going to be a bit troublesome, but I got someone working on it.”

Hans was happy to hear this, he could already dream of the silence that reigned over that private plane.

“Well then… see you at the academy”

“Yeah”

She walked away towards the rest of the group.

Only Caleb stayed beside Hans to say goodbye.

“So it’s finally over huh?”

“I guess it is”

“If I have to think about the things we went through just because the Red Tyranny decided to attack us out of nowhere…

‘Oh… that’s right! No one here knows that it was Lars Jensen’s plan since the very beginning.

Well, I guess he did not predict it would end up with us clearing the improbable Gate, but still…

Thinking about it, his student should still be in the academy, I’ll check up on him when I return.’

“Yeah, it all happened so fast”

“Right?! To think eight months ago I was just about to do my first lesson, now the students feel like part of my family.

I can tell it has not been easy up till now, but once this is over, our academy will be more unified than the others.

the students will be able to grow even faster, I’m already starting to feel the burden of our powers, haven’t you too?

They have to grow fast and take it themselves before passing it down to someone else, because having such responsibilities for a long time is going to get to our heads sooner or later.

What I’m trying to say is… I’m happy I got to share such troubles with you and thank you for saving my ass a couple of times, I’ll pay you back when I’m stronger.”

“Alright alright”

Said Hans smiling.

“Make sure to relax before the semester starts, and tell the same to Lily”

“Mh! Of course, you too, finish things up here and come back quickly.”

“Will do”

With that, the team returned to the academy.

Leaving Hans the one in Greenland.

“Huuu….”

Sighed Hans stretching his arms.

“Now that this has been taken care of…

It’s time to start the power leveling”

And that’s exactly what he did.

For the next six days, Hans hunted down every single one of the tortoises in that dissipating blizzard, his mastery of all spells increased exponentially, and his level skyrocketed.

His status Window looked even crazier than before:

Description:

An incredibly talented mage, master of many elements.

His mana, given his circle, breaches the realm of the unthinkable, just like his control and affinity over it.

He is the inheritor of the ???, and he can communicate with the ???.

Evaluation:

Even if only on the level of a seventh-circled mage, he could easily take on and defeat an eight-tiered one.]

“Finally… I’m done with this

I was starting to get tired, the tortoises aren’t even that much of an entertainment now.”

Hans clenched his fist in front of his face.

‘I can feel it, and I can see it… I have gotten stronger, incredibly so.

Would my body be on par with that of an S-rank? I think it would be such a shame to waste this ability.

Even if not as much as I do with my magic, I should try to improve my other abilities as well.’

He then watched the horizon. The faded blizzard has almost completely disappeared, allowing the sun to reach even the depths of the innermost area.

He was sitting atop the fallen body of one of the tortoises, and surrounding it, spanning hundreds of meters in every direction, were snowfields covered in the remnants of the beasts.

‘Am I perhaps the strongest person on the planet right now?’

Said Hans.

“No… there are still some hidden monsters”

He thought of Elijah, and then of Emma, if the power of two monsters like them were hidden from the public, then there must’ve been others just like them.

‘I do not care… I do not need to be the strongest out of the humans, my only target… is that’

He knew it…. He was getting closer and closer, not much was left….

In just a few months, he would’ve finally been able to annihilate that disgusting monster and free his family from their slumber.

“Wait for me… It won’t take long before our lives will be back as they once were”

Hans proceeded to get back to the facility.

Coming towards him in the hallway was the prime minister.

“Here you are! Should I thank our country’s hero on the citizen’s behalf?”

“You know there is no need for that.

Instead, I am more interested to know about how the retrieving of the carcasses is going”

“It’s proceeding with any problems, our team has just finished tracking down every single one of them, so they won’t be lost in the snow, and the dismantling process will soon begin.

Their ice body seems impossible to melt if not at extremely high temperatures, so it should save us some money on electricity when building a warehouse.

We will cut them down into cubes, even if we lose some of the material, that way it will be easier to sell them for both you and the customer”

“Do as you think it’s better”

Hans returned to his room and took a shower.

Just as he got out of the shower, his phone started ringing.

“Brrr… brrrr…”

It was on mute, but it still vibrated loudly.

Hans put a towel around his waist before getting out of the bathroom and answering it.

“Yes? Who is this?”

“Brother”

“Aiden!”

Said Hans with a lively tone, his face turning from tired to refreshed.

“How are you doing? You brat! You haven’t called me once during the whole summer break.

Did you leave this country with a girl and forget about me?”

“Of course not! I was just afraid of disturbing you while you were doing your work.

I’ve seen you many times on TV”

“Haha… is that so? What have you been up to this whole time?”

“I… have been traveling”

“Oh, that’s right! You are there with Grant and his father aren’t you?”

“Yes, his father is part of a special team, they travel all around America to help close gates that have already collapsed, they don’t even request any payments, and most of the spoils after their battles are given to the cities to help cover the costs of the gate break.

They are really all wonderful people”

“That’s great.

Say hi to Grant for me, I bet that troublemaker is being a little more obedient with his dad there, but make sure you don’t get caught up in one of his ideas again alright”

“Pfff… hahah, alright.

Hey Grant!

My brother says hi.

…

He said hi back, he also asked you if you could make us some pancakes when we are back to the Academy.”

“Haha… yes, I’ll make sure to prepare them”

They chatted for a bit, but the mood soon changed when Aiden said he had to talk to Hans face-to-face because he needed help with something.

“Alright, I will hear you out in a week, when the semester begins”

Said Hans.

he didn’t know what Aiden wanted, but it was unusual for him to be so blue.

“See you”

“See you”

Since Hans already had the phone in his hands, he decided to call the number he had been given by the dean.

“Yes? Who is this”

“I’m Hans, I’ve been given this contact by Ava”

“Oh, Hans, of course.

Allow me to introduce myself, I will be your main pilot from now on.

Have you finally decided when to depart?”

“Yes, would it be possible to take off tomorrow morning”

“Sure, Chicago or LA sir?”

“No, I need to stop by another place”

“Huh?”

“The destination for tomorrow is…

New York”
