Chapter 2162: Investigation

Nervousness and Excitement.

Gungnir is infected with both at the moment. The Bloody Chariot. The man who earned a title way before Gungnir even amounted to something significant in the cultivation world.

If Gungnir's reputation is mystery, the Bloody Chariot has a history that everyone wanted to be a mystery. A lot of them wished they didn't know anything about it. Particularly, the people who held grudges against him.

They wished that they never knew what wrongs Bloody Chariot did to them, their friends and their families. Because they were pushed to the spotlight. They were in the spotlight because of Bloody Chariot's deeds.

The world forced them into a spot, making them look like wimps if they don't try to take revenge, at the same time they will turn into meat pulp or worse cripple if they did make a move against him.

Bloody Chariot was that menacing when he was on the field. After earning the title and destroying everything that came in his way. Gaining the favor of the god Zeus, he was given a chance to retire. He came back to the academy that he graduated from and took up the position of the Grand Elder directly.

There was no resistance and no one wanted to contest him. In fact many people were glad. Because they knew that the Dean's position could change hands at any time, just like the remaining grand elder positions.

Now with this immovable rock in place, the people at the bottom rungs of the hierarchy are a bit relieved. They have an anchor to rely on when things go sideways. Like right now.

Unless such a situation arises, he will not make a move. Now that he made a move, the other academies realized that things are not as easy for them as they want to be.

"Sir, Blood Chariot. It is an honor to meet you."

Gungnir bowed down as he came back to his senses.

"Nice to meet you too, Sir Gungnir. The spear of Odin. I have heard a lot about you. And from what I see, you don't fall short to your title."

He spoke and gestured them to sit.

The captain looked at the situation as he sat down as well.

He is expressionless. But inside his head, he is screaming in joy.

Things have gone exactly what he wanted them to. The other party from the Norse has backed down a bit.

"So, Sir Gungnir. From what I heard, you believe that some of our students have caused some trouble in your region. May I know what this is about?"

"Yes, Sir..." Once again, the same story.

Bloody Chariot sat peacefully.

As if he is listening to some story about a completely third party.

"Sir, I understand what your concern is. After all, all of you lost promising candidates from your academy. They don't deserve to die just for possessing some coins. However, don't you think you are being a bit excessive just to investigate the matter of four people?

That too four first graders."

Silence.

Absolute Silence.

What are they going to say? That they are here to strong arm the Zeus Academy that has no leader, into giving them great benefits? That they are planning to even get their hands on the Legacy Inheritance that Dayus currently has in his hands?

They don't dare say it. In fact, they don't even dare think those things in his presence and are trying to suppress the goddamn thoughts.

"Sir Blood Chariot. You know how things work. We are just here to ask for justice. We don't have any other intentions. We would just like perpetrators to be handed over after the investigation is conclusive. As for why we had to come... as you know with the appearance of legacy inheritances and the new great rewards from the revived pocket dimensions, things are getting a bit messy.

I didn't want to risk sending some subpar and selfish individual to come here and make a mess of things after getting too greedy.

That is the only reason we came.

Of course, with how the situation of the current Zeus Academy has turned to, we didn't want you to take extreme measures and put pressure on us. I understand that you guys are going through multiple crises, we were just worried that you might take that frustration on our representatives."

Bloody Chariot cleared his throat a bit and said.

"I am sad, that you think that lowly of us. However, it is an understandable concern, given how volatile our elders have been acting. And with their profiles, and all the cases that are piled on them.... I must say I am a bit ashamed to see that this prompted such a reaction for the other esteemed academies.

However, you can rest assured. With me here, there will no form of oppression, no form of greed taking over, and certainly no form of impulsive attacks.

I will handle this fair and square, through the academy realm laws.

So, first let's go and talk to the suspects."

Bloody Chariot stood up and smiled at them. The rest of the room is filled with forced smiles, except for the captain. He is delighted inside and out.

This is the best decision he has made. Even though he went to the Bloody Chariot because he couldn't find any other person in the academy, that happened to be a great decision for him.

Ten minutes later, all of them are inside the Zeus Academy in another meeting room.

There are four students standing while the rest sat at a long boardroom table. The kids are looking at Bloody Chariot with confused gaze. Because, they have never seen him or heard about him. That's right, they have never heard about the Grand Elder of the Academy. Bloody Chariot is that secluded and kept to himself.

Looking at their confused expressions, Bloody Chariot smiled and said.

"I guess, you don't know me. I am the grand elder. The least important one in the Academy. Since, the other grand elders who were supposed to be here are not here, I am going to take up some of the academy's administration duties.

First of all, our friends from the Norse region are here with some complaint that I want to take up with you people.

Before we proceed, I want you to demonstrate your fighting ability."

*SNAP*

He snapped his fingers. Four people wearing second grade uniforms entered the room.

"You are going to fight them here. Since you are in first grade, you don't need to hold back. Go all out. The second graders, make sure you push them to their maximum limit.

Don't worry about any serious injuries or possible killings. Since, I am here, I will make sure that no one dies."
