Chapter 268: Need Approval
Lith's dorm, Abalax Sky Island.
Lith was lying on his bed with Lilith hugging her from the side and sleeping on his chest. He was caressing her silky silver hair while thinking about a few things.
An hour passed just like that when Lith kissed Lilith's forehead and said, "mom, time to get up."
Hearing this, Lilith snuggled closer to him and said in a spoiler manner, "five more minutes."
Lith smiled and didn't say anything more to her. He simply caressed her hair again and waited.
Five minutes later, Lilith got up from Lith's embrace and stretched, causing her big bosoms to jiggle. This obviously didn't go unnoticed by Lith but since he had played with them enough today, he restrained himself from touching them again.
The two took a bath together afterwards and after giving a goodbye kiss to Lith, Lilith left his dorm floor.
Lith had many things to do and the first thing he did was to meet up with Ralph and Dennis. He met them and told them it was his last day here, so talked with them for a while. A few hours went by talking when Lith said his goodbyes to them and left.
The three talked about things like what Lith would do and where he would go, etc. They also gave assurance to Lith that if they drop out in the future, they would meet up with him, so that they could work together and adventure with him.
Lith, walked the streets of Abalax Sky Island for one last time and saw everything he hadn't before. He was in his casual outfit, wearing a simple black shirt tucked in gray pants, black belt and black loafers.
The overall black outfit caused his silver hair tied in a bun to stand out. But many who looked at Lith would get lost staring at his amethyst-like purple eyes, given that they made past looking at his perfectly sculpted body.
As he walked the streets, many girls, boys, ladies, and men alike stared at him. He seemed to be an odd one out among everyone else as the aura he let out while walking was something others had never experienced before in their lives.
Lith wasn't intentionally releasing his aura, but it was a natural thing. His Rank 3 aura along with his spiritual power were the purest ever in the world and only two other people shared these similar traits. Having a very pure aura and spiritual power caused these people to not approach him as they felt suppressed and powerless in front of him.
Despite the suppression, it didn't stop people from fawning over Lith. Everyone liked him, even the ones who hated Lith were great admirers of him. Lith walked and toured the sky island amidst the gazes of everyone. This time around, Ralph wasn't there, so everyone paid attention to him.
It took Lith a few hours again to tour the sky island. He had begun at around noon and it was evening now. There was a sizeable crowd surrounding him in all directions but everyone were around a hundred meters away from him.
The crowd formed because the classes were over at 1 pm and everyone knew that the Vampire Prince was roaming around through group chats on messenger apps on their phones.
Lith was fully aware of how many gazes were locked in on him. But there was nothing to worry about since there were staff of the academy watching over him as well.
Lith kept walking normally and visited many places such as the arcade of the academy, different sports areas like football field, air hockey arena, tennis court, volleyball court, badminton court, etc.
While visiting them, he realized he would miss a lot of stuff in the academy once he drops out. He hadn't had time to explore sports at all, or even play in a team. But, even if he did get the chance, he and his team would have been bound to win because of him. So there was not much point in playing the games here with a weak bunch of students.
Lith then visited a bungee jumping bridge in the academy. He walked in the middle of the bridge and looked down. There was a valley below with a river in between. Beside it were mountains.
"Do you wish to bungee jump, student?" A staff member of the bungee jump looked at Lith and asked.
Lith shook his head and denied him. There were many people at the ends of the bridge, looking at Lith with anticipation. But they were disappointed when Lith refused to bungee jump.
Lith looked down and thought to himself, 'this is a lot of height. What if I jump down? How would it feel to free fall? Hmm... I should test it out while I am at it. But why use bungee ropes when I have magic with me.'
As he finished thinking this, he put his hands in his pockets and did a side flip and jumped down.
"WHAT!?"
"OH SHIT! HE JUMPED!"
"OH MY GOD!"
The staff members and the students alike screamed when they saw this.
The staff who were there to look after Lith's safety, went into a slight panic and three staff members who were quick to act, had already extended their wings out and were rushing towards Lith.
Lith on the other hand was relaxed. He was falling down with his legs pointing towards the ground. His hands were in his pockets and his hair and clothes were fluttering violently.
'Hmm... I don't feel the kick. I remember a few students in my uni in the past talking about how they felt butterflies in their stomach when they were bungee jumping. How they were very anxious and nervous before the jump and how they felt their adrenaline rush while jumping down.
Sigh... I feel no such things. It just feels like moving down a fast elevator. The only difference that could be that, the elevator is closed at all sides, making one unable to feel the pressure and air, unlike now where I can feel the wind caressing me from all sides.'
Lith was 10,000 feet above or roughly 3 kilometers above ground. He was about to extend his wings out and go back up on the bridge when he heard a few people yell,
"STUDENT LITH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"STOP MOVING AROUND, STUDENT LITH!"
"WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR RESCUE!"
They had to yell so that they could better convey their words to Lith.
They were flying towards Lith with their wings extended out.
Lith looked at them and simply shrugged.
He extended his wings out and felt great pressure on them, causing him to feel slight pain. But, suddenly opening his wings caused him to stop free falling and halt in midair.
Lith flapped his wings after he stabilized in air and flew above towards the bridge, causing the people who had just rushed to become dumbfounded.
The ones who were rushing to save him only now realized that Lith was much more powerful than they initially thought him to be. Any first-year student, if he opened his wings out like this with such great pressure on him, his wings would be torn, damaged seriously and cause serious injuries to the student while causing him to still fall down.
But no such thing happened with Lith. This made the staff members more surprised than angry. Sure they were angry with him jumping like this out of nowhere and causing problems, but their amused and surprised expression took over their anger.
Lith reached the bridge back and walked towards the main building of the academy, as if nothing happened. He felt jumping down was a waste of his time as he felt nothing.
Bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing, and a lot many things were on his bucket list to do when at academy, he tried the very first thing present on it, but the experience made him understand he won't really feel the thrill if he did any of these things, since he wasn't a mortal with no magic.
He felt his time to be wasted, so he decided to not explore the academy anymore and walked straight towards the main building of the academy.
He reached the main building, and first went to the day care where Rena was present. He picked her from there and Rena turned herself into a small wolf pup and sat on his shoulder.
Lith then walked towards the principal's office and reaching in front of it, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." Emilia's gentle voice resounded in his ears.
Lith opened the door and walked in. He saw Emilia wearing a white shirt, black skirt and her round gold rim glasses. Her blonde hair was tied in a bun and she was going through some papers.
"Hello, Miss Emilia." Lith said with a smile.
"Hello, Lith." Emilia replied with a smile to him.
Lith sat down on the chair opposite to Emilia's unceremoniously and without waiting for her to ask him to. They were good friends and close to each other now, there was no need for such formalities, Lith and Emilia both knew about it and nobody felt anything about it.
"What brings you here, do you have some doubts in academics or problems?" Emilia got straight to the topic and asked.
Lith shook his head and said, "I am here for something else. I need your approval on something."
Emilia nodded in understanding. "What do you need my approval on?"
Lith smiled and said, "I want to drop out. I need your approval for the same."
"What!?"
