"So what do you think about my offer? Adrian." A woman said to Adrian, as she nced at him.


    She is a woman of great beauty. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her movements were elegant and refined. From the sound of her voice, anyone could tell that she was in a very good mood.


    Her long hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, and her clothing was tasteful and sophisticated.


    Adrian who was sitting on the Sofa had aplicated expression, on one hand, he wanted to ept that offer and on the other hand, he was hesitating.


    Last night when Adrian and the rest cadets came from Silva City Adrian received a message on his smart bracelet before going to bed.


    The message came from the Headmaster Here, Which shocked Adrian after all not every day someone this important figure would message a student and first year no less!


    The content of the message said


    [ Come to my office before ss start. From Headmaster Hera.]


    That was all the message said and Adrian was so anxious about it that he couldn''t have a wink of sleepst night.


    He woke up this morning and took a shower, Putting on his first-year uniform, Adrian headed toward the Headmaster Hera''s office with quick steps.


    After all, he doesn''t want to wait for her.


    Adrian reached Hera''s office at sharp 6:30 and for thest 30 minutes, she stared at him without saying anything at all!


    After what felt like ages, Hera finally said something and when she did it shocked Adrian to his core!


    "Adrian, do you want to be my disciple?"


    "Pardon? Your what?"


    "You heard me."


    "Please give me some time to think."


    "Sure."


    Adrian closed his and started to think. He has a system, that makes him powerful but is that enough?


    The answer Adrian came with was no, No it''s not enough to him.


    Adrian thought he could save himself and all his friends with the help of his system.


    He was naive to think something like that in the first ce and that was proven true at Silva City.


    When the S-ranked dungeon outbreak happened he had to stay at the mansion hoping that Heros would close the dungeon.


    Even with their system, his sword art and every trick at his disposal he could not hope to beat a [A] rank monster, not at his current strength.


    All he could do was hope, hope that he would survive.


    Then at the same time, some Assissan groups attacked mansions he killed them of course but they also killed many cadets, citizens and staff members who were protecting them.


    All he could do to save them was to kill and every one of them was dead then Tony came, he had turned himself into a fallen human to get revenge on him.


    That was the hardest fight he had fought sinceing to Nova.


    Even with all his friends fighting by his side they couldn''t take down Tony''s demonic form.


    He was going to kill them, and Adrian himself thought that he was going to die but Lucas saved him and everyone else.


    If Lucas had not used his Nightshadow bow, then all of them were going to die by the hand of Tony.


    So Adrian doesn''t have the luxury to do things at his own pace, If wants to be stronger, If wants to save his friend, If wants to kill every monster and demon, he has to be strong.


    Adrian knew he had a system that helped him to be stronger than others at a faster rate but that was not enough for him now.


    He was going to take every opportunity that came his way.


    If he were to ept Hera as his master, she would teach him everything she knows and provide him ess to rare and valuable weapon art manuals.


    Additionally, receiving personalised training from her would help him be stronger at a faster pace.


    He has no time to ask he why she wants him to be her disciple, he can ask thatter any time.


    Adrian opened his eyes, determination burning within them. He stood up and faced Headmaster Hera with newfound resolve.


    "I ept your offer, Headmaster Hera. I want to be your disciple," Adrian dered, his voice steady.


    A pleased smile yed on Hera''s lips. "Good choice, Adrian. You won''t regret it. This decision will shape your destiny."


    "From now on, consider me your guide on the path of strength," Hera stated, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of pride and expectation.


    Adrian nodded, acknowledging the weight of the responsibility he had just taken on. "I''m ready, Headmaster."


    "Anyway, it''s time to go to your ss, and you will receive some announcement from Lillian after the ss meet me here again and then I will start your training," Hera said to Adrian who nodded his head.


    He is curious about what the announcement is but Lillian will tell everyone in the ss so he can wait to hear from her.


    "Then I will see youter, Master,"  Adrian said to Hera.


    As Adrian left Headmaster Hera''s office, he couldn''t shake the mixture of excitement and uncertainty swirling within him. The weight of his decision to be Hera''s disciple settled on his shoulders, and the anticipation of what awaited him in terms of training and knowledge fueled his determination.


    As he walked towards his ssroom, the bustling atmosphere of Nova Academy greeted him. Students hurried to their respective sses, and the air buzzed with conversations and the asional magical disy.


    When he entered his ssroom Adrian could feel the silence in ss. Most branches have been empty because the students that were sitting there have been killed in Silva City.


    Many students still had not recovered from the nightmare they lost their friends and lovers.


    It will take some time to recover from this and Adrian hopes that everyone gets back on their feet but all he can do is just hope.
