The Villain's Story

Chapter 395 [395] Plans.

[Predator Team Room, Capital

"Explain what happened in detail."

Maxwell asked Edward, who had just returned from the infirmary after getting his arm treated fully. Edward began to explain what exactly happened to Maxwell in great detail.

"I was just strolling around the Capitol, Nothing out of the ordinary took place until I showed my Twilight guild card to buy something at a Kebab store. I noticed someone was following me from then on. She had been doing it for quite a while, so I went into an alley and led her there. There we fought. She was a spirit user who summoned a weird version of the Bone claw, one that could use fire and she had crimson hair and eyes…Also, she looked young but was skilled I guess. She could use illusions and summoning magic."

Maxwell wrote down the information he heard in a notebook.

"Anything else?"

He asked, just for confirmation. Maybe Edward was missing something. However, when he looked at Edward's dumb face he concluded that nothing like that was the case.

He had told him everything.

"Very Well, You can go now. Don't go outside without anyone else with you. Remember that."

Edward nodded and left. Maxwell was a little bit annoyed by his aloof attitude but he decided to let it go this time. He was aware of how much torture he received when he acted like a feral beast. Out of sympathy, he let it go this time.

He did wonder how Edward could remain so nonchalant after fighting against a bone claw.

"I guess the training with Kazikato was fruitful."

He muttered as he relaxed into his chair, rubbing his tired eyes.

Edward had gone away for quite a while with kazikato for 'training'. He was unaware of what Kazikato did but was able to guess that whatever it was…It had made Edward stronger. There was this strange aura around Edward, He appeared to be stronger and more controlled.

Now this…this was shocking for Edward. Very shocking. Maxwell originally had a hard time believing it…

'Gotta thank Kazikato for it I guess.'

He was oblivious to who had actually instilled discipline in Edward. He just thought it was Kazikato.

So he sincerely wanted to thank the Sleepy Kid, who had managed to set Edward right.

It truly was an achievement.

"So much work to do…"

He stopped relaxing on his chair and examined the mountain of documents on his desk. He looked at them with a mixed gaze.

He sighed.

"Haaaa…."

He was tired, but he knew he had work to do. A mountain of work to do actually. Not only was he busy with the Capitol matters, but He had also pushed for the revival of Aror, and so he had to deal with the work that came along with it.

It couldn't be helped. Alan had requested him to do it…So he had too.

Speaking of Alan…

"Damn."

Maxwell opened his watch and watched Alan's trials with great interest. It was only the second day and Alan had already reached the 25th floor, Elijah was a bit behind on the 24th floor whilst Daniel was on the 28th floor.

The rankings had been pretty much the same, most of the other challengers had already lost the trials and were back. Only a handful of challengers were still in the tower.

'No matter what…I will clear the tower.'

A smile crept its way on Maxwell's face when he remembered Alan's words.

Alan had declared that he would clear the Tower of Trials…and Maxwell didn't doubt it,

What kind of man would he be if he doubted the words of his leader?

If Alan had declared he would do it…Who dared stop him?

Who dared to stop the one person able to manipulate a hellish frost and space? A wielder of one of the Strongest Weapons on Earth and also the one who had a precious bloodline.

Just who would dare to?

"Come on..Be quick with it."

Though he didn't doubt Alan would clear the one hundred trials of the Tower, he did wish for it to be sooner.

He wished Alan would hurry…although he knew that was a foolish wish. The trials would take time.

"I wonder how the Battle fest will go…"

He pondered, The battle-fest was the second most anticipated event of the Academic Convergence.

It was basically a tournament. No, it was literally a tournament.

Students would fight against one another and advance into the next rounds…pretty standard.

However, he did wonder how it would go this time. Considering that Alan, Elijah, and Daniel, the main attractions were not participating in the Battle fest this time.

Alan, Elijah, and Daniel all had chosen to concentrate on the tower of trials this time…So It truly left a question unanswered in Maxwell's mind.

"Will it be delayed or forwarded?"

The Tower of Trials event would be over in at most a day, that was how hard the tower was. It was quite shocking that it was still ongoing. Three people had shattered everyone's expectations.

Since Alan was going to clear the tower…how long would it take? It was probably a long time.

"Elijah as well…has proved to be troublesome."

He held Elijah's information sheet and ripped it apart.

It was entirely wrong. Elijah was almost on par with Alan during these trials. Daniel's lead was expected but Elijah…absolutely not.

Who would have thought the guy Alan knocked out in one hit before would make such a drastic improvement?

He didn't like it. Maxwell absolutely despised being unaware of his opponents.

He checked his watch again, Alan…was now on the 26th floor and was marching forward with a terrific speed. Daniel was still on the 28th floor whilst Elijah was now on the 25th, just behind Alan.

He grabbed a pile of papers and went outside the office. He wanted to meet with Richard to discuss something. A few pieces of paper had weird symbols on them that looked like math but didn't…he didn't understand it but knew the importance of it. He had to talk about the situation that had just occurred with Edward.

But also some other… "Important things" for the guild.

Things that would finally…finally make them on par with…Or even Surpass Behemoth and Titan.

Twilight…would no longer be called the weakest of the big three guilds.
