Chapter 155: The Principal [4]
Slowly, the discussion between Axel and the principal was coming to an end. From what Axel understood, his grandfather was a very good friend of Alric Stragoy, as they had both been classmates at the academy together once. At that ti, the status of his Nomrad family was even worse; they were barely notable, more like a commoner’s family, but with a bit more money, nothing more and nothing less.
As for the principal, he was an orphan coming from the slums, not knowing who his parents were, or he didn’t even have anyone to support. Because of both of their more or less miserable situation without any support, they hit it off together pretty well in the academy.
And he blad himself quite a lot for not being able to directly help his family for the crisis it was facing, but he did promise that unless the Dusker’s took a drastic step, nothing would happen to his family from the arrangents he made, so he simply urged Axel to focus on growing stronger while being in the academy, because he might not get such a chance to grow as strong as possible while being in such a safe environnt.
Axel naturally agreed on that note without hesitation. Axel also reassured the mighty being that he shouldn’t feel responsible for what happened to his mother. The principal also revealed another information,
“The Vex family was also likely soone behind that incident, since their downfall was largely because of Damien.”
“Of course, of course, is that why Taser is so adamantly against ?? Of course, it would make sense that he was so much against . Could it be that this incident was what Taser did because of his family’s instructions?” Axel asked himself, mumbling in slight shock.
Alric disagreed, “No, I don’t think so, for soone as talented as Taser, doing sothing like this would have only ensured his downfall, because we would have caught him one way or the other. This incident had no real chance of doing anything bad to you, except for damning your reputation a bit.”
He asked the powerhouse with a frown, “So, what exactly will you do with him?”
Alric sighed, “I’m afraid we are unable to do any forceful interrogation on him without informing his family, and if we do that, much of the news within the academy will go out to the outside world, the Duskers and the Vex family will learn of your real talent.”
“As such, we will give him so kind of limiting punishnt, for the duration of the academy, nothing more can be done for now, without contacting his family.”
The principal thought for a mont to himself, then asked with so obvious hesitation,
“Axel, can I ask about what happened that day?”
“You an the day my mother died?” asked Axel with a bitter expression.
Alric nodded, “I know it’s the most sensitive topic, but I can’t help but ask about it.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t rember, perhaps seeing my mother’s death was a bit too much for , that my brain was unable to handle it, so I went into coma, as I ca back, I didn’t rember how it happened, unfortunately or fortunately, I guess.”
Alric nodded, though he could clearly see that it wasn’t likely the whole truth, but he tactfully chose not to press on; there was another thing he desperately wanted to know, as such, he asked,
“Axel, you know sothing about your grandfather, your family must have so idea of where he might be? Right?”
Axel shook his head with a sad smile, “As much as I would love to tell you where he could be, or know where he might be, I don’t. I only know that he is most likely alive, but even unsure if that is even true or not. But as for where he could be, I have no idea. If anyone has any clues, it’s likely my father, but I doubt even he knows of it.”
Alric placed a hand on his face at that comnt, and he rubbed his forehead in frustration. It seems the powerhouse had so great expectations that he could find so clue as to where his old friend might be. But it turned out to be a dead end. They said a few more pleasantries to each other and bid farewell.
As Axel left the front building of the academy, going back towards his lodging, he had a neutral expression on his face as he scoffed internally at the principal, this entire thing could have been total act, since there was nothing like this ever ntioned in the story he read, no even if sothing was indeed in the story, there were multiple events where that kind of information turned out to be wrong. Aside from hard facts that he finds and checks himself, he would trust nothing; he could trust nothing.
The entire thing about the principal being a very close friend to his grandfather could be so kind of ploy to get information on his grandfather or sothing. So, he pretty much took the contents of their whole eting with a pinch of salt.
Now that he thought about it carefully, the only useful thing he gained from this entire conversation was knowing that the Vex family was also related to the incident of his mother’s assault. He frowned. That’s right, those powerful Seekers alongside the Dusker duchess at that ti, were they from the Vex family perhaps? Yes, it was entirely possible.
As a family of runecasters, they could erase all the traces of their involvent, using various artifacts and such. They perhaps also used their artifacts only for erasing or covering their traces or involvent; otherwise, it would make things just that obvious.
He sighed and entered a certain room in his apartnt. As he opened the door, the familiar sll of magical weapons, tal, burned runes, mana going haywire, in multiple flavors. It was obviously his personal engraving room and forging room built together as one, right in his apartnt. It was quite expensive, to say the least. But it was so damn worth it.
Sorry guys, the next chapter wll be later by a few hours, I think.
