Villain With The Strongest System - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Important People
Rocky woke up with the most severe headache, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

He found himself in a premium medical room with some very recognisable figures sitting around him.

Across his bed, near the edge of the room where the window was, sat guildmaster Karna hunching over his knees.

To his right was Amelia, dressed as impeccably as ever and to his left was a figure one seldom ever saw outside the tower in the form of the Vice guild master of the True Elites Guild and yet another one of Earth’s top 3 talents, Neatwit.

All of them were seated on the left side to his bed, however, there was an equally impressive line-up to his right as well.

On the other edge of the room, sitting in a large luxurious chair was Mr.Cole Davis, the pope of the church of Gemini and the religious leader of Earth.

He wore loose drapes that had the symbol of Gemini printed all over it again and again, as anyone could spot from a million miles away that he was a religious individual.

Beside him was the Leader of the Climber Association, Mr. Cody North, dressed impeccably in a tidy suit and between himself and the pope, there was palpable tension in the air.

*Cough*

Rocky coughed involuntarily, alerting everyone that he had woken up as immediately all eyes turned to him.

“Inform the healers, the boy has woken up” Neatwit said authoritatively, but he then took a glance across the room and realized that none of the individuals present inside were small fries that he could order around.

To save face for the vice guildmaster, Amelia got up and went out to inform the healers that Rocky had woken up as Neatwit’s face flushed slightly red for having made such a silly mistake.

” Bless Gemini! The champion has awoken!

Your eminence, your lowly servant Cole is extremely pleased to meet you” The pope said, as he got up from his chair and kowtowed on the ground below, scaring the living crap out of Rocky, who did not expect such treatment at all.

” Have some semblance of pride in yourself Cole, you’re a floor 54 climber yourself.

Yet you bow to a boy who has not even ascended to the first floor?

Shame-” The leader of the climber’s association Cody said, as he criticized Cole for his behavior.

” Forgive his insolence, great Gemini, this man doesn’t know how to differentiate apples from oranges.

He’s a fool” The pope said, as he looked towards the heavens and prayed for the gods to forgive Cody.

” What’s going on?” Rocky enquired as Karna got up from the lounge he was sitting on and walked calmly towards Rocky with a phone in hand.

” What happened is this mark showed up on your back while you were awakening” Karna said, as he showed Rocky a picture of the tattoo that mystically appeared on his back, jolting some memories.

Rocky remembered being in the test hall and having suffered a blackout due to intense pain on his back as he felt like it had caught on fire.

” Right…. My talent assessment-” Rocky murmured as Cody was the first one to respond.

“Your talent evaluation came back as a very high ‘S’, you’re one in a billion, kid” Cody said, as immediately Cole argued against it.

” BLASPHEMY! YOU SHALL NOT LIE TO THE CHAMPION!

By the grace of Gemini, you great champion, have been blessed by SSS talent!

The talent to become a True God!

Don’t listen to any of these liars” Cole shouted vehemently as Cody slapped his own face.

” How hard is it for you to understand you religious zealot, that if his talent is made public, not just Earthlings but the UNIVERSE will be after his life!

He will die you idiot-” Cody cursed, as Cole stood up and bashed his forehead against that of Cody and got into his face.

” The champion of Gemini cannot be targeted by anyone!

Lord Shakuni weaves his fate.

No-one, not even you, can interfere with his mandate” Cole said passionately, as the environment within the room became incredibly tense once more.

*THUD*

Thankfully, Amelia came back with the healers at the right time, as the presence of unqualified personnel prompted both Cody and Cole to back off, as they maintained the semblance of decency in front of outsiders.

“Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?” The chief healer asked Rocky, as he checked his arm for pulse, while his assistants cast a lesser heal spell on Rocky’s body.

” I’m fine, just a small headache” Rocky said honestly, as the doctor nodded and checked his vitals.

” He looks to be fine, should recover his strength in a day or two. No signs of mana poisoning or his mana pathways being injured.

No internal bleeding or trauma.

He’s fine” The chief healer affirmed as Karna thanked him and walked him out the door.

Uptil now, Rocky had no idea as to where exactly he was or what was going on, however, whatever it was seemed to be very serious as the most important people on Earth had gathered around him to discuss it.
