Chapter 148: Chapter 108: The Seed

The next day, Rod arrived at the Heidler Training Ground on time.

Located at the northernmost part of Jinworth Academy, this was an extremely large and well-equipped training ground.

All of the students’ combat lessons were completed here.

Combat lessons were a very important part of the curriculum, but as a first-year student, Rod had only been here once because of his special student status.

In the eastern part of the training ground was a huge castle-like building, which had been designated as the base for the secret branch.

The academy’s Guardians, who seldom showed themselves, were now on guard in front of the base, with extremely strict vigilance.

After showing his special student badge, one of the Guardians led him inside.

The interior space of the castle was immense and brightly lit.

Upon entering, Rod immediately saw Teacher Miller, who nodded at him gently, "Go and meet your companions."

Turning his head, Rod saw for the first time so many students dressed in strange and unusual outfits gathered in the spacious hall.

Most of them were between eighteen and twenty-two years old, very young, filled with vibrant energy, high fighting spirit, and a belief in never yielding to anything.

They were grouped together in twos and threes, chatting energetically, their shining eyes full of anticipation for the upcoming trials and battles.

Rod had not really seen other special students, but he quickly found a group of old acquaintances here.

The Reslin trio.

They had already recovered from their injuries and were released from the hospital, chatting idly in a corner.

Rod greeted them with surprise, "Hey! Reslin, you guys are here too!"

They turned their heads, and at the sight of Rod, they immediately burst into surprised expressions and ran over together, with Karamon shouting, "Rod! I knew we would run into you here!"

Rod glanced at Karamon’s body, "Has your kidney grown back?"

Egger made a face, "It’s long healed, and it functions even better than before. He’s been nagging about finding a girlfriend every day."

Karamon retorted angrily, "What do you mean? I got smashed to pieces back then, trying to save you guys! If it weren’t for my strong healing ability, keeping my Spirit from dissipating, you wouldn’t be seeing me now!"

Rod smiled, "Don’t be angry, I’ve avenged you. I shot the Black Priest dead with one bullet."

"What?"

All three of them exclaimed in astonishment, their eyes widening.

Rod briefly recounted the events, and to keep a low profile, he attributed the main merits of killing the Black Priest to the Dean’s Phantom.

After hearing this, the trio had different expressions; Reslin’s was one of satisfaction for the kill, Egger’s was a sense of relief from avenging a great enmity, and Karamon’s seemed relieved, yet somewhat reluctant to let go.

Rod tactfully did not mention the Black Priest’s preferences to avoid distressing Karamon’s delicate soul again.

Reslin laughed and patted his shoulder, "It seems you’re highly regarded. His Excellency the Dean has even given you his Soul creation. If we work on missions together in the future, the role of the strong leader can only go to you."

Rod smiled and asked, "Are you also members of the secret branch?"

"Yeah," Egger wagged his finger at Rod’s stomach with a hint of pride, "Although we’re not special students, the secret branch also recruits some outstanding performers with rich experience and potential real fighters. In the group of students staying at the academy, our trio is quite renowned too."

"There’s also some good news for you."

Karamon leaned in and whispered, "Thanks to our persistent reporting, that bastard has been suspended for the time being, and the Internal Affairs Court is conducting an inquiry."

Rod knew that the "bastard" he was referring to was Iron Mask Manolo Bana.

He was actually suspended; Rod had thought they were just saying that the other day.

Egger said excitedly, "That’s right, Judges have already contacted us. They’re collecting evidence of his crimes, suspecting him to be a Doomsday believer who infiltrated our ranks, and have been secretly investigating for a long time. I said there couldn’t possibly be such a despicable person among us; he must be a Doomsday believer!"

"I’ve told them everything we know, that snot is done for!"

Reslin’s stocky face also beamed with smiles, "Brother Rod, when the trial comes, we must all testify together!"

Rod nodded, suddenly feeling as if the sky had brightened.

"Then it’s settled."

Egger raised his hand and joined it with Reslin’s and Karamon’s.

The three of them looked up together, and Rod instantly understood, also stretching out his hand.

Four fists joined together, and Rod inexplicably felt a surge of power.

"Yeah! We will win! Down with the Doomsday Cult! Fire shall illuminate the world!"

Rod joined in their shout, their collective roar drawing a lot of attention nearby, but they did not care, looking at each other with surging passion echoing among them.

Then, not far away, someone called their names.

Reslin smiled, "Brother Rod, we have to go now. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to work on a mission together again."

Rod nodded, and the three of them turned and went over.

Rod was in a very good mood, this was the best news he’d heard so far.

If Iron Mask was done for, then he wouldn’t be a threat anymore, and once he wiped out all the Doomsday believers, he could rest easy.

He looked around and quickly found more familiar faces in the crowd.

Shines, Anna, Beowood, Anna Visita, Red Bee, who had all won awards with him at the beginning.
