The sun was still not directly overhead, the air was not too hot, Adrine and Reihan had reached the edge of the Spilleri forest area. They are both greeted by someone named Carlos Halbert, Adrine does not know him at all, while Reihan looks like he is familiar with the person.
Carlos Halbert looks like a bearded old man, his body is huge, taller than Adrine and Reihan.
"Well, it's only been 2 years that we haven't met, you've been so big huh? Surely you've reached the Sustainability stage?"
The big man stroked Reihan's thick hair, they looked like people who were already very close.
"Well, how fast could that be? If I can, why don't you pull over to your college in Fenti City?"
"You're right, but your friend who's behind it can."
Suddenly the man named Halbert pointed at Adrine.
"Me?"
Reihan also looked at Adrine, wondering why Adrine qualified.
"Why can Adrine qualify for admission into Shadow Fenti?"
Reihan seemed to not accept the fact that Adrine really qualified to enter a college called Fenti Shadow.
"True, why do I look like that?"
'Didn't he know that I've reached level-2 Sustainability?' Thought Adrine.
Carlos Halbert smiled as he looked at the confused Adrine and Reihan.
"I've seen his cultivation records that show that he has extraordinary abilities, do you know? This brat has reached the level-2 Sustainability stage, you're nothing in front of him."
"What's? Level-2 Sustainability? Mr Halbert, didn't you say the wrong thing?"
Reihan was so distrustful of what he had just heard, it also made Adrine very surprised.
Carlos Halbert smiled and shook his head.
"I didn't say anything wrong. Besides, can you deal with it like this?"
Then Carlos Halbert swung his palm hinting at Adrine to come to him. Adrine came to him.
'How does this person know my cultivation record? Isn't the record personal and only a few people know? Who is he really?' Thought Adrine.
Carlos Halbert smiled and stuck out his right hand.
"Can I shake hands with you?"
Suddenly the man wanted to shake hands with Adrine, but he had not finished what he had said before.
"Mr Halbert, what are you doing? What do you mean by not being able to defeat Adrine?"
Reihan looks very unacceptable if Adrine is very noticed by Mr. Carlos Halbert.
Carlos Halbert was silent when Reihan just snapped.
"May be."
Adrine allowed him to shake hands with her and she shook the hand of master Carlos Halbert.
"Ugh..."
Adrine sensed a huge energy entering her body. The energy seemed to have penetrated the circulation of energy in Adrine's body.
WUUUS!!
The wind blew fiercely, Adrine's shadow enlarged and became very dark, but not in Adrine's will.
Adrine only kept quiet because she knew that she was in control of someone with enormous power. He could not move, let alone fight.
All Adrine's forces have come out, none less.
"A... What the fuck is all this?"
Reihan could not believe what he saw, he walked backwards in fear.
"All this is his army, a mage with this ability can control everything in one snap, but the big risk is that when taking his soul, it can hurt the soul and even kill someone. But this kid named Adrine has this great ability, it's amazing."
Reihan did not even listen to what Carlos Halbert said, he continued to pay attention to the three souls of Adrine's demonic animals, namely the Purgatory Demon, Blood Demon, and Bolt Demon.
The big man released his hand, now Adrine can control his energy again smoothly.
Just after Carlos Halbert said, Adrine also kept all his troops.
"The teacher sent you two to test Adrine's extraordinary abilities, let alone Adrine's extraordinary cultivation, don't you think, Reinold Xsue, my best friend?"
Someone appeared just as Mr. Carlos Halbert called out someone's name.
"Dad? How can you be here?"
The person who appeared was Reihan's father, a man named Reinold Xsue who was just named by Carlos Halbert.
'What is this? There was someone at the Gem level who appeared again, what sign was this?' Thought Adrine.
Carlos Halbert was a cultivator at the Gem level, as was Reihan's father, Reinold Xsue. Adrine knew it because they had non-playful energy, too great if they were at the level of Perfection.
"Looks, only grandmaster Oi, grandmaster Tiana, and senior Rakha knew about the mission of the two of them, were you not eavesdropping?"
Carlos Halbert turned out to have an amazingly great observation as well, he could even guess what really happened.
"No no, I was the one who told this to my own father."
Reihan said very bluntly, Carlos Halbert smiled hearing that.
"That means you did analyze the mission, you know an opportunity like this is the easiest to get rid of this one kid right? Please stop your bad habits!"
Adrine understood a little with the words of Carlos Halbert, he did think of what Reihan had said at the time of the selection first.
"Already, you yourself understand your nature, I will indeed try to get rid of this boy, no one can surpass my Xsue family."
Carlos Halbert shook his head when he heard Reihan's father's words, Adrine could not comment on hearing for himself that the nature of the Xsue family was indeed very cunning and greedy of power.
"Do you know about this? This mission given to the two of them was confirmed to me a week ago, on our side, he said, everyone agreed to test Adrine's abilities and Reihan Xsue's mission was to lure how far you dared to take. Turns out you yourself intervened to end this boy's fate."
"You're Carlos Halbert!!"
We were all surprised, the sound of a bluff just now did sound ordinary, but it made the ears of ordinary people become sick.
'Should father call Mr. Halbert by his full name, I've never heard of him, why would it be like this?' Think Reihan.
Reihan did not think at all that far, he did not even know what would happen next.
"Oh? Just this first time I heard you mention my full name like this, what's wrong with you?"
This is the first time, according to Carlos Halbert himself.
"Oh yeah, do you know? While I was talking about this mission with mayor Jerry, one of the Fierry institutes heard about it. Having already heard of it, he was interested and brought this information back to the institute. They also agreed to recruit Adrine to enter the Yin-Yang Fierry Zeronia college, surely you know about the twin colleges?"
"WHAT? THIS SNOT BOY WAS RECRUITED BY THE FIERRY INSTITUTION IN THE MEGALOPOLIS OF ZERONIA?"
Carlos Halbert smiled broadly at Reinold Xsue's shocked and fearful facial expression.
'Damn, this boy is in the protection of a large institution.' Thought Reinold.
"He was accepted by a college of that size just because he had reached the level-2 Sustainability stage earlier than the others? Isn't that unfair?"
Reihan courageously raised an opinion and in a loud voice.
"It's not fair you think? He started his cultivation later than usual, he started it at 14 and this Adrine could reach level-2 Sustainability stage by the age of 20, can you?"
Reihan was very surprised and immediately turned his head towards Adrine very quickly. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"In addition, none of the Sustainability stage cultivators could control demonic beasts well and smoothly, either, he could even easily control 3 demonic beasts simultaneously and one of them had strength equivalent to a Devil Helping level spirit beast during his lifetime, he said, it shows that he is capable and has extraordinary talent."
Reihan did not dare to look at Adrine again and looked down, he had thought that at the selection yesterday Adrine was pretending and understood why Adrine dared to take a bet.
Adrine himself even to think about the problems that are there.
'It seems like I'm here to be the source of trouble, even though I only had one word to say.' Thought Adrine.
One word that Adrine meant was when he said I was being pointed at and mentioned by Carlos Halbert earlier.
"Oh yeah, almost forgot, introduce, this guy was the one who heard my discussion about Adrine and Reihan's mission, from the Fierry institute, one of the communications and connections sections of the Megalopolis of Zeronia, he said, senior big Lhila."
At first there was no one beside Carlos Halbert, but when he suddenly introduced someone, there was a woman who appeared beside him. Adrine, Reihan, and Reinold were so shocked to see that, the clothes worn by the woman were very elegant and classy.
'Truly a person of a megalopolis, his clothes alone were extremely luxurious.' Thought Adrine.
