Chapter 126: Departure

Before the trip, when he was packing his things, Randy had decided to bring the black grimoire that he purchased from Miss Feng's magic shop the other day with him. 

The reason for his decision was very simple. He had yet to open the black grimoire, so he decided to keep it with him at all times until he figures out a way to open it afterward. 

Although based on the system's description, it seems a certain requirement has to be met before the black grimoire could be opened. 

And since he had no idea what the requirements were because it was hidden just like when the system was informing him about ways to utilize the crystallized abilities. 

But who would have thought that his instructor would mistake that thick black grimoire as something else entirely during the inspection of his baggage and items? 

He would not have minded it if his instructor only assumed that it was a box containing his items based on the appearance of the black grimoire. 

But instructor Liu seemed certain about whatever he was thinking of enough that he had to raise his voice intentionally just to rile up the other students to jeer at him once again.

This was not an unfamiliar occurrence back when he was still unawakened, but now that he had awakened, this instructor was still finding trouble with him for no particular reason like he had done something so terrible to him or something. 

Randy could not understand his instructor no matter how much he thought about it and thus when he saw him instigate his fellow classmates, he instantly become angered, and his fierce aura exuded from his body, emanating outward.

At this moment, he was barely holding himself back from blowing fuse and acting out.

At this point, when his instructor heard his words claiming that the object in his hands was a grimoire and not what he was thinking of, along with the fierce aura Randy was emanating from his body, he instantly gasped in terror.

'W-What the fuck is this? How could he have such aura? It's even on par with an A-Rank combat power… Perhaps even higher? Wasn't he just a C-Rank awakened?'

Seeing his instructor standing there with a look of shock on his face, Randy reminded once again in a cold tone: "Teacher Liu, like I said before, that grimoire is very important to me so would you kindly give it back to me? I don't care if you kick me out from this trip, but as a teacher, you should confirm things before making a judgment. Otherwise, you'll only make wrong assumptions just like you did just now."

Instructor Liu snapped from his shocked state and was unwilling to give in to this arrogant student of his after hearing their words that were clearly was full of mockery and implications.

"You brat…" 

"Do you want me to report this to the principal of the academy? I am certain that he would be able to make a better judgment as to whether the object in your hands is a grimoire or not."

"Tsk!"

Hearing these confident words, instructor Liu instantly gave up since he realized that the other party was serious the moment they had the courage to even bring up the principal of the academy into this matter.

"Here, take it and get out of my sight!" 

Saying so, he strongly threw the heavy black object in his hand towards Randy in annoyance.

Randy on the other hand easily caught the grimoire without being pushed back, surprising his instructor since he was also a C-Rank, and his attack power coupled with his telekinetic prowess should be reaching the threshold of B-Rank attack power and yet his student easily caught something that he had thrown almost with his full force. 

"Tsk!" Instructor Liu clicked his tongue upon seeing this, turned his gaze away, and then said: "Next person in line!"

Randy ignored him and packed his things before leaving and entering the school bus shortly after.

At this point, the students who were jeering at him previously were now speechless at Randy's performance and had dumbfounded expressions as their mouths were slightly agape.

'Since when was this loser this overbearing… Such confidence and that oppressive aura just now… Was he always like this?' 

The students all swallowed loudly as they dazedly stared at the other party climbed up the school bus and then silently went and sat in an empty seat at the back without even glancing at them. 

No one dared to utter a single word of jeering this time because no one wanted to find out what would happen to them if they did. 

However, the students who used to bully him at this point broke out in cold sweat upon recalling the skin-piercing aura exuded from the other party's body. 

Jeremiah was among the students who had a worried expression as he started sweating profusely. But he decided to keep his calm as he sat in the front of the bus and tried to keep his head down when Randy walked past him.

Randy on the other hand did not notice him since he was not in a good mood from his experience just now, so he did not bother to look at his classmates' expressions as he went and sat the back of the school bus with a scowled expression. 

Clearly, he was still annoyed by what transpired just now that he could not get rid of the frown on his face as he sat there.

And because of this, Jeremiah was able to avoid his gaze and at this moment, he sighed in relief for some reason.

'…Fuck! Why am I scared of this fucker?! I'll have to find a way to get rid of him for good during this trip. After all, accidents happen during hunting, so no one would blame or suspect me if something happened to him.' Jeremiah exasperatedly said in his mind as he wiped the sweat off his face.

Because both he and Randy were in the same class, without a doubt, they would be assigned to the same location during the hunting session in the Beast Forest and thus he would be able to find many chances to get rid of him no matter how strong he was. 

As for the other classes in the same grade, they would be assigned to other parts of the Beast Forest, so there was less chance of running in them there. 

Furthermore, even if something happened to Randy, and the other people in their class saw it with their eyes, he could just buy them off with some money or resources that they might desire. In any case, this was a perfect chance to get rid of a threat that would soon come to take his life.

In other words, he had to act first when the other party was still not paying any attention to him. 

A while later, when all the students were inspected by their instructors and boarded the specially reinforced school bus, it was now time for departure.

The drivers did not waste any time and immediately departed towards the not far away east gate that led outside of the protected city.
