Chapter 126: Chat With Instructor Tiamat
Nolan answered her with a shrug that drew an eyebrow raise from Instructor Tiamat.
She had expected him to be excited and eager, narrating everything he did with the Godly Ten and trying to prove that he knew them closely or something like that, but all she got was just some shrugs from Nolan.
He didn't carry the crazy, intense love that other Newcomers had for the Godly Ten.
It had to be known that those ten were like superheroes to the newcomers at the academy, though they had never done anything that benefited the newcomers' lives at all—not even once.
Yet, they all ogled over them as if they were some type of gods.
It stinks to Tiamat and she looked down upon those students that take the godly ten as some hero. Unfortunately, all student did.
It was refreshing to see someone with a clear mind among the feverish crowd.
"The Godly Ten themselves?"
"Hmm, they're all pretty cool."
"The newcomers think of them as this hierarchy group, that is based on their power, but that's just not true," Nolan said as Instructor Tiamat asked.
"Really?"
"Yes. The Godly Ten are more like a family than anything."
"They're not in some position that random students can wish or aspire to join someday."
"Not some type of hierarchy or status level."
"They thrive on their teamwork and exceptional understanding of themselves rather than the reach of their power."
"Not all the Godly Ten are strong, but each is almost unrivaled in the aspect they control."
"That, combined together, made the word 'Godly Ten' a fitting title," Nolan explained to her clearly, and Instructor Tiamat found herself quite amazed.
She didn't really care about the Godly Ten at all.
They were just some group of kids in the lowest echelon of power in the academy.
There were many more things in the upper echelons that drew attention and made the Godly Ten almost irrelevant.
But still, it surprised her to hear about Nolan's observation of them, and it kind of reminded her of the association she once had too in the past.
She didn't hate the observation.
Time passed by quickly, and a lot more things were asked by Instructor Tiamat, which Nolan answered without thinking of them as questions.
He also got to ask Instructor Tiamat what their earlier mission was, and he had to admit he missed out on quite some fun.
The original mission which Instructor Tiamat was leading, while not as dangerous as the one Nolan had been sent on with the Godly Ten, was pretty amazing in its own right.
Soon, the dishes on the table finished up, and Instructor Tiamat rose to leave, with Nolan seeing her to the door.
He watched her disappear down the hallway before he retreated back into his dorm room.
[Quite an impromptu visit, no?] The system asked as Nolan's eyes narrowed.
Instructor Tiamat's visit had just been too random of an event, so much so that it was suspicious.
Thankfully, he had been able to face her every question and make sure she didn't leave with any suspicion towards him.
[Seems like someone is extra worried about you...] The system said to Nolan, whose eyes flashed before he shrugged.
"I was taken away from her group and forced on a mission by another person instead of her."
"Maybe she just came to see if I was okay. I belonged to her authority after all," Nolan replied, finding a good reason for Instructor Tiamat's impromptu visit.
[What is your plan for that Sir Astaroth?] The system suddenly asked, making Nolan's eyebrows furrow before he shrugged again.
"I'm not the only one that is offended by him, and in fact, I actually don't have a problem with his stupid ploy."
"He wasn't after my neck; he was after the Godly Ten's, and I just happened to be on the boat in the storm between them."
"Who knows why he wanted to get rid of the Godly Ten."
"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me."
"Trying to seek revenge on a person who isn't even targeting me? And such a high-profile person too?"
"I already have so many problems on my neck. I don't want to add to them again," Nolan said to the system.
[So, you're just gonna allow this to glaze over?] The system asked as Nolan nodded.
"It has nothing to do with me, so yes, I will."
[Tch, spineless coward!] The system said to him as Nolan shrugged.
"If getting out of potentially monumental trouble is being called a spineless coward, then I would gladly take that title!"
Still, with everything resolved, he felt a need to go and rest a little to clear his brain from all of the events.
He headed towards his bedroom, landing on his bed, his back cracking in happiness, and even Nolan laughed out loud.
[What's the problem?] The system asked him as Nolan grinned widely, rolling around the bed a little.
"Is being happy after being kissed by my bed a problem?" he asked it.
[Whatever. And actually, that reminds me.]
[What do you think of that girl, Lorelie? She loves you, sure, but do you love her back?]
"Shut up! That's my personal issue!" Nolan snapped back at it as the system cackled evilly in his head before ignoring him.
[Whatever. Not like I'm even interested in the first place. Hmph.] It said to him as Nolan nodded.
"Better..."
"Activate the system interface!" Nolan ordered.
His successful completion of the mission had given him quite the amount of quests to be collected and quite the amount of rewards too.
And also, it was finally time to check on the power his new body possessed.
Just how much of an increase had he gained compared to the last time he leveled up?
He was able to defeat Draugr when the other Godly Ten couldn't, so he expected there should be some pretty crazy amount of stat points boost that he should possess...
