Chapter 293: First Hearing of the Secret Realm

Chapter 288 – First Hearing of the Secret Realm
That morning’s conversation was nothing to Owen, at most a few sentences of casual chit-chat, but it still had a great impact on Robert, as his attitude towards Owen suddenly became different.

In fact, Robert was a smart person, after realizing that he was isolated by the trio he regretted a bit, he was not brainless, it was just that after being arranged by the academy to the villa area to personally feel the living conditions of the commoner trainees and the noble trainees that were worlds apart, his heart was very unbalanced, thus his attitude was too obvious.

But after calming down, Robert realized that he almost cut off his way to integrate into the upper circle.

That’s right, Robert’s biggest dream in his life was to become a noble.

In fact, this kind of idea is very normal, in fact 99% of the civilian cadets are this idea, their conflict with the noble cadets is not a class conflict, but want to step into the circle and can not get it, really put them into the circle, suppress the original companions than the noble cadets even more ruthless, this is human nature.

This is human nature, just as everyone curses the rich, but all want to become rich, because the rich people’s happiness you can not experience.

Robert is likewise no exception, he is no longer that simple countryside teenager, after seeing a wider world, who is still willing to go back to the countryside to that unimpressive lord as a dog.

And he knows very well that if he wants to go further, he must step into that circle, only then he can contact more, get more, and improve his strength faster, this is also the reason why Academy City transfers the talented civilian trainees that they fancy to the villa area where the noble trainees are located, it depends on whether you can experience it or not.

Obviously Robert had quickly realized the good intentions of Academy City and had been looking for an opportunity to improve his relationship with the other three, and Owen’s conversation that morning was exactly what he needed.

In fact the choice of Owen was not a random one for Robert, of the three in the dormitory, Peters was unreliable at first glance, Cowles was too introverted, and Owen was the only one who gave him the best feeling, giving off a sense of gentleness and equality.

And the Northland aristocratic origin is more in line with Robert’s ideas, because both sides are not the mainstream of the Academy City, so the backyard is so big, he is not in the middle of the training, and not where Cowles, just in the position of Owen’s window to train, it is not in order to create opportunities.

For Robert’s small mind, Pieters knew it by heart, but did not have the intention of revealing it.

For one thing, it’s not a matter of concern, and for another, compared to Robert whose potential has not been fully redeemed, the mysterious and unpredictable Owen is obviously more valuable, and for a third, that kid has already been targeted, and it’s a question of whether or not he’ll survive.

This last point Pieters didn’t hide from Owen and blurted it out while the three of them were drinking coffee.

“You’re telling me that Robert is being targeted by the daughter of a duke?” Owen put down the coffee in his hand and frowned.

“That’s right, you’d better not get involved, which one has one of the most twisted personalities even amongst the temperamental damsels.” Peters didn’t look too good when he said that, obviously someone he couldn’t afford to mess with, while Cowles on the side nodded at the words, looking like he’d heard of them.

Sylvia, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Macaron, was also a famous super genius of Academy City.

Family history, do not say much, duke in front of a big, on behalf of different from ordinary dukes, belongs to the kind of independent country, so Sylvia even if the self-proclaimed princess no one said anything. In contrast, although Robert is recognized by the Academy City genius students, but also just a genius, no matter from the family, strength, potential, which aspects are not compared to each other, really being targeted, there is no room for resistance.

“I don’t think Robert has anything worth a Grand Duke’s daughter’s time.” After a moment, Owen shook his head and said.

It wasn’t that Owen looked down on Robert, he had good talent and potential, but it was only there, there was still a long way to go before he could cash in.

Even if the potential is fully realized so what, at most a master level swordsman, this is still the most perfect situation, in general the senior peak is estimated to be the upper limit of his life, there is no such a great value, worthy of a grand duke’s daughter to spend effort to pull together.

“If it’s the previous years or next year, of course Robert is nothing, but this year is the once in a decade Secret Scramble, those who have confidence in themselves won’t miss this opportunity.” Pieters said with a slightly deeper look at Owen, obviously mistaking his purpose of coming to Academy City for this matter.

Since Owen pretended to be unaware of it, Pieters still introduced it in detail himself.

“Secret realm?!” Owen really didn’t know that Academy City even hid a secret realm, but if he was the protagonist, since he was attending school here, it would make complete sense for the academy to hide a secret realm, and he could guarantee that there must be some precious treasures in the secret realm waiting to be dug up by himself, as it would make complete sense.

The Academy City would open the secret realm every ten years and leave ten keys to open it inside, and those who found the keys would be given the right to freely enter and exit the secret realm.

Sylvia had set her sights on Robert just to increase the power in her hands, after all, the secret realm was big and dangerous, and there was a limit to what one person could do alone, so the more teammates she gathered the greater the advantage would be.

Unfortunately what is inside the secret realm, Pieters does not know, only know that it is very dangerous, but there are also great benefits, successive generations of cadets who managed to keep the key and grow up many have become legends, otherwise where is the attraction so great that even the daughter of the Grand Duke is moved.

Specially rushed to enroll in this year’s Cowles similarly little understanding of the secret realm, is in the family’s arrangements down, but he has a very good mentality, holding the emphasis on participation, there is a gain the best, there is no even if the kind of.

After hearing about the secret realm, I have to say that Owen was moved, although the danger is great, but it is only great, in the case of preparation, even if he encounters people who can’t be defeated, he can also successfully escape, so he intends to sign up to participate in, I did not think that there is a need to test the qualifications, no wonder which Archduke’s daughter stared at Robert, because the ordinary people are simply not even the qualifications to participate in.

For Owen, it is not difficult to pass the test, the difficult thing is to expose that side of himself, because he has too many cards, casually take out the same, the legend does not come out, the college city he messed up to kill.

In the end, Owen decided to use the identity of a puppeteer as his first vest for his debut, not daring to first of all, he had to adjust the puppet library to make it easier to use when fighting.

Puppeteer as Owen’s earliest choice of transcendental profession, consumed the most time and energy, even boredom will do some to pass the time, so the inventory is quite objective, only there has not been much room to play, now there is an opportunity to exert, kinda excited.
