“You are not an Advance Stage Cultivator, what is your actual cultivation?”
Arvina questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
“Huh? What are you talking about? How can one hide his cultivation? And why would I even do that?”
Nux frowned.
Was [Trickter] not working anymore?
Was he out of Mana?
No… he still has plenty.
Then how did she find out…?
“Don’t try to hide it from me, I don’t know how you did it, but I’m sure you are hiding your original Cultivation.”
Arvina muttered and Nux frowned even more.
His Trickster was working fine…
Then how…
“Your reaction speed is a lot faster than normal.
Your eyes react to changes a lot sooner and your body is often unable to catch up to your senses. This only happens when one suppresses his powers.
I noticed something like that earlier with your battle with Candice as well, however, I still wasn’t sure about it at that time, now, however, I am 100% sure, you are hiding your cultivation.”
“…”
Nux turned silent.
He didn’t know he would be exposed too soon.
He has barely been in this academy for 2 weeks…
Just how can someone do something so badly?
“Nux, you didn’t answer my question yet.
What is your actual cultivation?”
Arvina questioned again.
This time, Nux knew he couldn’t hide it therefore, he just sighed.
“I would rather talk to you alone, Teacher.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Arvina frowned.
Nux then turned his head towards Candice and muttered,
“Come out.”
Candice panicked.
‘How did that bastard find me!?’
She wondered in her head.
However, she didn’t move.
That bastard might be bluffing.
She won’t fall for that.
She wasn’t stupid!
“Are you trying to change the topic?” Arvina frowned.
Nux then sighed,
“Candice, I can see your shoes, come out now.” Of course, he didn’t see any shoes, his [Sense] warned him the moment Candice decided to hide herself behind the bush.
He knew she was here from the beginning but didn’t care enough to say anything.
Now, however, things were different.
This time, Candice’s body flinched and she moved a little.
This little movement was enough for Arvina to know that someone was hiding behind that bush.
“Candice, come out. Now.” She instructed in a strict tone and Candice finally stepped out and appeared in front of them.
“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to go practice your sword techniques?”
“I-I saw you two coming here and got curious…” Candice answered.
Arvina sighed in defeat and then, she turned towards Nux,
“I need to talk to you about something, follow me to my office.”
She then turned towards Candice,
“As for you…” Arvina wanted to tell her to go back and practice again, however, in the end, she just sighed.
“Do whatever you want, I don’t really care.”
It was not like Candice would hear what she will say…
Just like Nux said, she was too arrogant and often neglects her training because of how talented she is.
Disappointing indeed.
Thinking that, Arvina turned around and walked away.
Seeing her like that, Nux smiled a little.
If Arvina wasn’t here, he would have thanked Candice for proving his earlier words and being the ‘bad student’
Now, all he needs to do is become a ‘good student’ and get close to Arvina Skyfall.
‘Hehe~ Candice is a true friend indeed.’
Nux thought in his mind and followed behind Arvina.
As for Candice, well since her teacher told her to do whatever she wanted, she walked towards the room provided to her by her teacher and jumped on the bed.
She was too tired after swinging her sword all day.
‘Tsk Tsk, can’t Teacher Arvina teach me new moves already?’
She snorted inwardly, however, then, a serious look appeared on her face.
‘And what was Teacher Arvina talking about? Nux was hiding his cultivation? What does that mean? And how can one hide his cultivation? Is that even possible?
Or was teacher trying to say something else?’ Candice frowned and then, a determined look appeared on her face.
‘I need to learn more about this.’
‘Wait…’ Suddenly, Candice realized something,
‘What happened to Teacher avenging me?’
…
On the other side, inside Arvina’s room, Arvina glanced at Nux and questioned again,
“Alright, now we are alone, answer me.
What is your real cultivation?”
Nux sighed, while walking towards the office, he thought about a few things and in the end, he came up with a conclusion.
He needed Arvina Skyfall’s help in the future when he deals with Astaria Skyfall.
Therefore, his relation with Arvina should be strong.
Also, he has interacted with Arvina for a while, she seemed trustworthy.
Therefore, he decided to tell her the truth.
He was hoping that she would keep it to herself.
He still wants to attend the academy after all.
Also, when there is a secret between two people, it is natural that they will get close to each other.
Nux smiled inwardly as he thought about it.
He then deactivated his [Trickster] and his cultivation returned back to normal.
“!!!”
And seeing his cultivation, Arvina’s eyes widened in surprise.
“G-Grand Master S-Stage Cultivator…”
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
“H-How old a-are you?” She questioned.
“I will turn 19 soon,” Nux answered and Arvina’s eyes widened even more.
A 19-year-old Grand Master Stage Cultivator!!
What kind of monstrous talent is that!?
“Y-You are 19…?”
Arvina stuttered.
Nux nodded.
He was actually 18 but… whatever.
“W-What is your Elemental Affinity? It is written High here, but I am sure that is incorrect.” Arvina questioned.
“Exceptional.”
Nux answered.
“Exceptional?”
“Yes, Exceptional level affinity with all four elements.”
Nux revealed and Arvina just couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Candice, a 22-year-old Master Stage Cultivator, Exceptional Level Affinity with Water element was treated as the future pillar of the Kingdom,
B-But this!?
What the hell is this!?
A 19-year-old Grand Master Stage Cultivator!
Exception level affinity with Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, all four elements!
Just what kind of absurdity is that!?
Monster!
A complete monster!
However, soon, a frown appeared on Arvina’s face,
“Why did you hide it?”
