Chapter 202: Compensations
"The natives, even the people who came to participate in the Secret Realm fled," Mabel said with a quirky smile.
"Well, Elder Ondine made all that fuss before. If they didn't run away, they would stay like that." Kaia pointed to a group of people who were tortured in flames.
Mabel shivered a little, then nodded.
Despite how powerful and terrifying Ondine appeared to be, in the end, she was no different from the people she herself had burned alive. She had been so insignificant that 'that person' was able to break her entire power base even though they didn't appear in person.
Amon's group wanted to leave this place, but they had to wait. Mabel and her grandmother were waiting for Amon, and the girls digested what they had received. It didn't seem to be exactly power, as there was no fluctuation in energy, however, there was a slight fluctuation in mental power, which made them believe that it was knowledge they had received.
Kaia was also rewarded with some knowledge she had wanted. She was very happy, despite not showing much since her granddaughter was nearby.
However, seeing that her granddaughter was showing a little jealousy when looking at Amon, Bianca, and the girls, she said, "Don't worry. I also received 'something' just now. I received information about something that you wanted before. When we get to the lab, I'll share it with you."
"Thanks, grandma!" Now that 'no one' was looking, as they were meditating, Mabel acted all affectionate towards her grandmother, hugging her and rubbing her face against her grandmother's chest. Kaia laughed back at her.
Suddenly, an object floated toward Kaia. She took it and put it away very quickly.
"Grandmother?" Mabel didn't see what it was. She only knew that something had floated into Kaia's hand, and then it was gone.
"Uh, don't worry about it," Kaia said, not responding to her granddaughter's curiosity.
"Okay." Mabel was sensible. After hearing that, she already guessed what it was. She looked at the group of Ex-Overlords and... Jardel Felix.
"Have you been waiting long?" Bianca opened her eyes and stretched as if she had just woken up from a long sleep.
Her right eye was open as a tear threatened to fall while her right remained closed. Only after she finished stretching did her eyes become wide and attentive.
"Not a lot," Kaia said, "You were the fastest. They are still digesting..."
"Ohh," Bianca nodded. She looked at Amon and the girls.
The information Bianca had received was fundamental for her to transcend Mutant Rank and was an effective way to achieve more than 100 genes filled from fire and ice, becoming a Ranker Grandmaster of fire and ice. The spell book she received was the perfect match for her evolution. Honestly, she hadn't expected there to be more advanced spells that built from the same spells she merged when she became a Mutant Ranker.
Several minutes later Amon was the last to open his eyes. The girls were already waiting for him.
"Let's get out of here first. We'll talk later," Kaia said.
"Okay." Amon nodded without needing to consider it too much.
He and the girls just looked at the Golden Phoenix University elders and Jardel Felix one last time before getting into Teacher Kaia's car.
â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�€�🧬€�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�
Instead of heading back to the university right away, they stopped at Bianca's restaurant. It was her treat for them, and it had been a long time since they had eaten. In Bianca's private room, she had already arranged the preparations. Even before they arrived, there was already food waiting for them fresh from the fire.
"Let's eat. We'll talk while we eat," Bianca said with a small smile.
Teacher Kaia wasn't reserved at all. She soon sat down in a chair around the table, took what she seemed to like, and started eating without reservation.
Mabel followed her example, and soon so did the others.
"So what do we do now?" Bianca asked Kaia's opinion.
"Nothing, really," Kaia said, "Although they lost their power, and we are partially involved in what happened, it will not necessarily be seen as our fault. The reality is the other party has a lot of explaining to do. In fact, I even predict that they will be expelled from the university..."
Her reason for thinking so was simple. Kaia understood the fear an Invincible Overlord brought with them. If Golden Phoenix University learned that these three elders and that boy, Jardel Felix, had offended someone of such power, it would be incredible if they still managed to continue at the university, even more so when they have lost all their powers.
"By the way, I just saw it on the internet..." With a holographic image just above her digital clock, Barbara gathered everyone's attention. "Look, Clan Felix has been destroyed!"
It wasn't just the Clan, but rather, the entire planet was devastated. Although it seemed that the person behind the destruction seemed to have used something to not kill the innocents that lived on the planet dominated by Clan Felix, it was possible to see debris all over the place on the shots of the planet's surface.
However, the people who were displaced did not lose much. In the article, it was said that the residents of Planet Felix were nothing more than slaves of Clan Felix, forced to explore mines and do menial services. Sow with Clan Felix destroyed, they were even crying with celebration...
It was sad to celebrate the death of so many people, however, it was precisely these people who had enslaved them, so it was easy to understand why they felt that way.
"Will these people now be enslaved by another clan?" Maisa murmured.
"I do not think so." Teacher Kaia sipped some iced tea and said, "You still underestimate the fear an Invincible Overlord can cause. Even if it's only a 0.1% chance to provoke an Invincible Overlord by dominating the planet where the Clan was destroyed, they wouldn't dare."
"... I understand." Maisa stopped trying to think about it. It was something that was very far from her reality these days.
However, she understood one thing. This powerful being had some connection with Amon. Furthermore, she was given various information and even spell books that suited her perfectly.
They weren't just sending her information. It was like she had a physical book in her mind that she could open at any time. It was pretty groundbreaking for her and weird too.
'Is it Amon's mysterious grandparents who did this?' Maisa had a hunch.
She just knew that the two of them were powerful, but Maisa didn't know exactly how powerful they were or if they had reached the level of an Invincible Overlord...
"Now that I think about it, it's true," Julia interjected, "They are the ones who owe us satisfaction. After all, they attacked us because Amon became the Champion of the Secret Realm - Kohana Toreninguki."
Remembering that, she felt a little angry. But, soon her anger was relieved when she remembered the tragic end of the 4.
"Bianca, the food here is delicious," Kaia suddenly praised. She had eaten a lot - something rather unusual as she didn't eat much, spending most of her time in her lab doing research.
"Thanks, you can always come back. It's on the house~" Bianca smiled warmly. She handed Kaia, and even Mabel, a diamond VIP card.
After having done so much for her daughter and her friends, even Kaia being willing to risk her life to protect Amon, Bianca was touched and felt that this woman was someone who she wanted to be close to, even with the barrier of status.
"I will do so." Kaia accepted and signaled for Mabel to accept as well.
"Thanks," Mabel said with a rare smile.
"You two are welcome~" Bianca said without losing her smile.
Although Amon, Maisa, Julia, Ariel, and Barbara didn't have something like that, they could contact Bianca directly, so there was no need for her to give them a card like that. Besides, all her employees already recognized them. Even without a card, they could eat for free if they wanted.
â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�€�🧬€�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�â•�
Upon arriving at the university, even the Director wanted to talk to them.
"So it's like this..." The Headmaster's eyes became sharp and he said, "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you. Incidentally, after that, I highly doubt anyone would have the balls to tease you again... Anyway, I'll have them make it up to you for having put you through this!"
Old Hazael was beside him. As vice-principal, he couldn't believe that three Overlords had stooped to the level of wanting to rob a first-year student...
"Rotten, these people were rotten to the core!" Anger was visible on Old Hazael's face. Luckily, nothing bad seemed to have happened to Amon and the girls, or else, he himself would have had his allies help him destroy those idiots' base of power!
Old Hazael always held the four in Amon's group in high regard. Although at first, it was more so just Amon, the girls' efforts proved their worth. That was the type of student he liked best.
[Author: Well, I forgot to write this down in the story before, but the Vice Principal was Hazael, sorry about that mistake. Anyway, I've taken note of it now, and I'll try not to make the same mistake.]
By the way, this was the first time they had seen the Director in person. Most events were usually attended by just teachers or the Vice Principal, Old Hazael.
The Headmaster was an attractive man, appearing to be in his early 40s, with short red hair. He wore gray formal wear.
"I got these things from them." Teacher Kaia floated the Overlords' and Jardel Felix's storage items to the Headmaster's desk.
"You did good. You can have this; it's yours." The Headmaster didn't even give it a second look. Although there might have been something good since they were the things of a world-famous clan heir and three Overlords, the Headmaster showed no interest in those things.
"Okay," Kaia answered simply and put it away.
There was no reason for her to reject something that good. Of course she would want something like that.
After all the information was gone through, the Headmaster and Hazael didn't even ask what Amon had gained in the Secret Realm, which made Amon admire them a little.
After saying their goodbyes, Amon and his party were dismissed and were told that they would be called back when the school received the compensation for the 'damage' that Golden Phoenix University had caused.
Teacher Kaia said to Amon and the girls, "I'll break their bound storage objects and see what's of value. If there's anything that might be useful to you, I'll let you know."
