1422: Council Summon

Council Summon

A few minutes ago.1

"What do you all think?" I asked the councilmen and women sitting beside me.

 "I had the records about her excellencies strength when they returned from the Ghoul Ruin were little exaggerated, but seeing how your student playing your daughter like a fiddle, they now seemed too true," said Lady Marla.

I was quite surprised seeing her praise Micheal, getting praise from this woman especially hard, in my more than fifteen years of headmistressship, this woman did not say something positive to me more than five times, and I have done many great things in the past fifteen years.

"Really, the records did not seem to be an exaggeration at all." "If I am not wrong, then your student is not even using one-fifth of his strength against your daughter, who had already become powerful enough to win any normal World Championship." Lord Harrison said. I couldn't help but nod at that.

When Micheal returned from the Ruin, there was an obvious change in him, even without emitting any aura; I had known he had become very powerful, but I am still quite shocked to see how powerful he had become.

Elina has Phoenix Bloodline, and the training she had put herself through eversince she had returned from the Ruin had made great changes in her strength, and after consumption of thousands of cores, her strength had even greater change.

Still, I did not doubt my daughter losing the spar; the record left behind the excellencies has never let me forget that, but when the battle began, Micheal started dealing with her as if she child, especially when she had begun her Epiphany.

"Marina, you should have informed the council about your daughter having a Phoenix Bloodline; this is unbecoming of you as Headmistress," Quipped lady Marla.

'This Women!' She never forgets to strike when there is a mistake; it is my luck that other council members decided to ignore my little rule-breaking.

"We should now think about how to deal with those bastards Wisdom Tower and Hawthorn Sea, especially Wisdom Tower; once they know what kind of Inheritance Micheal possesses, they will become hounds on blood," Lord Matthew said, bringing out worry that everyone had in their mind.

Her Excellency Roosevelt was not only Headmistress of the Academy but was also the leader of Wisdom Tower, responsible for bringing it out from really low phase, the importance they attach to that Inheritance is still great.

If not for various rules and regulations laid out by Her Excellency, the Create Heart Inheritance would have already swapped by them, still, after her Excellency left Wisdom Tower had their members imprint the 'Creation Heart Inheritance' for nearly a thousand years.

If not for not getting the result, despite their thousands of tries, they would not have left the Inheritance alone.

Now, after more than three thousand years, someone had come who had taken the Inheritance to King Stage and have the potential to take it Tyrant Stage and above, just that of Her Excellency.

Once they got to knew about it, they will try everything they have got to get Micheal, and I hate to admit it, but they have something that Micheal needs; it is due to that reason, her Excellency had accepted the offer of the wisdom tower in her time. 

There is a reason why it is called 'The Wisdom Tower.'

"Why do you have to be such a dick," Elena said as she got up. I did not hit her that hard; by the time she had crashed on the ground, she had already dealt with most of the force I had hit her with.

"Your amazing progress had made me a little jealous. Do you have any idea how hard it and long I had to work to gain the strength that you have gained within few hours," I said mirthlessly.

Hearing that expressions on her face have softened a little, "You are still a dick, you know that," she said, but suddenly her expressions changed, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes.

"You should watch your words, young lady; your words and actions reflect on the Headmistress, and you young man, don't act like a brigand; your actions to reflect on Headmistress and Academy, more than hers." Said a familiar voice.

Hearing it, I slowly craned my neck toward her and only to see sweet-looking women in her early fifties looking at me with an unreadable expression on her face.

'Lady Marla!' I shouted out inside me; this woman always freaks me out; I had quite contact with this woman, most than other council members, and let me tell you, this woman is impossible to please.

I had few private lessons with her as she has the rarest soul type Inheritance, and with her being quite a powerful Tyrant, she is an expert in soul art. I had went to her to get lessons on soul arts.

Though I have no talent for soul arts, as she pointed out, in my every lesson, that was not the lesson's point; those lessons were for me to gain enough knowledge to create soul defense for my Armor.

"Councilwomen Marla," Elena and I said in unison, using the words she liked to be addressed. She nodded in acknowledgment before she turned toward me.

"Micheal Zaar, as the Speaker of Council, I formally request you to attend the meeting tomorrow at 2:00 PM," she said; I was quite surprised by the sudden request by the council that it took me a while to form the answer.

"Ok," I said quickly when I noticed I had taken quite long for an answer already, and disproval of that is already showing on her face.

She nodded at us one more time before she disappeared like a ghost as she appeared. 

"That woman put a fear in my heart whenever she appears," She said as she touched her heart. "You are not the only one," I replied as I too have fear in my heart for Councilwomen Marla.
