When Professor Tyrese arrived at the scene, the first thing he saw was Kieran beside the body.
When he got a clear look at the body on the ground, Tyrese felt his temples throbbing rapidly.
Duyer!
Although Duyer's head was kicked off, his attire and the communicator at his waist proved that he was Duyer.
"2567, do you know what you have done?"
Professor Tyrese took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
His premonition didn't just come true, it was the worst kind.
Duyer was different from the common professors.
He wasn't bought by any sects or families, nor did he side with Principal Romuse. He was a neutral professor and as a matter of fact, there were quite a number of such professors in Theorate. They carried out their duties as a professor and researched the things they loved to do.
When necessary, they would listen to Principal Romuse's orders and act accordingly.
The worst thing was, Duyer was quite reputable among the professors.
Once the news that Duyer was killed by the First Seat of the freshmen spread out, the neutral professors might have bad thoughts in their hearts.
After all, after multiple incidents, everyone assumed the First Seat of the freshmen was already on the school's side.
"He had the intention to kill first."
Kieran answered.
"So, you made the first move?"
Tyrese facepalmed when he saw the replay on the monitor.
He believed what Kieran said, but would others believe him?
Would the members of Duyer's lab believe him? Would the neutral professors believe him?
How should he explain himself to convince them?
Tyrese had never felt such a headache before.
"You can't step up?
Then I'll help you solve it.
I'll convince those people. "
Kieran said calmly.
"Don't even think about it!"
Tyrese was frightened, shaking his head like a rattle drum. He then ordered the guards around him, "No one is to tell 2567 what happens next!"
The surrounding guards immediately nodded their heads.
Kieran glanced over the crowd and didn't say anything else.
He really just wanted to help.
Who knew Tyrese would react so strongly?
Professor Tyrese sighed in his heart when he saw Kieran's reaction.
They had already lost a neutral professor, and they could not afford to lose another one. Otherwise, the whole of Theorate would be in trouble.
Professor Tyrese had a deep understanding of how Kieran dealt with problems.
Because almost every time Kieran participated in an incident, he would deal with it.
As for the result …
Collect the corpse!
There was no exception every time.
Ever since Kieran enrolled in the school, the morgue in Theorate was full.
The corpse collectors had already begun to suggest building a new morgue.
How could such a person convince others?
Who would believe that?
At least, Professor Tyrese wouldn't believe it.
"I will take care of the matters here. You can leave first!"
"Also …"
"In the future, no matter what happens, you have to be calm and don't be impulsive."
Professor Tyrese tried his best to persuade Kieran. Kieran nodded, but his calm face made Professor Tyrese wonder if Kieran was listening to him or not.
Professor Tyrese sighed and turned around to deal with the troublesome matter in front of him after he saw Kieran's back off.
Kieran returned to his dorm and placed the metal box with the [Energizing Steamed Egg] aside. He then took out two items from his backpack.
A set of five arrows and a cookbook.
[Name: Positioning Arrow]
[Type: Weapon]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attribute: Bloodthirsty Pierce]
[Effect: Positioning]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: Although it is a weapon, its real purpose is to support]
…
[Bloodthirsty Pierce: When the same target is hit twice in a row, the target will bleed and as time goes by, the target will be crippled (Requires a Constitution authentication no lower than B rank). When the same target is hit thrice, the target will be frightened (Spirit lower than B rank) and will be crippled directly (Requires a Constitution authentication no lower than A rank)]
…
[Positioning: Fire an arrow to locate the location of a Mystic State (Mystic State E-15). When you select the location of the Mystic State, the arrow you fire will bring you to the Mystic State.]
…
[Name: Duyer's Recipe]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Epic]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Four types of battle food recorded: Popping Candy, Lemon Stick, Butter Ball, Crispy Pancake]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Prerequisite: Cooking (Musou), Nimble Heart Hands (Beginner)]
[Remark: You can't learn how to cook the four battle food directly, but you can practice cooking them through the recipe book.]
…
Both came from Duyer's Recipe.
Kieran's eyes stopped at [Positioning Arrow] for a while before he turned to [Duyer's Recipe].
Cooking was a skill.
Nimble Heart Hands was a talent.
The reason why Kieran was so sure was because he heard it from Starbeck when they were chatting.
Starbeck had the talent.
He didn't break the limit of his character template, but he acquired it when he entered the big city.
It was a talent that allowed the user to better use all kinds of weapons.
Of course, for Starbeck, all that was left was to cook.
Without a doubt, the recipe in Kieran's hand was Starbeck's.
As for heartache?
Kieran didn't feel that way.
Every time Starbeck asked him out for a meal, he didn't even pay.
"So, this is the money for the meal."
Kieran said as he put [Duyer's Recipe] back into his backpack. He then turned his attention back to [Positioning Arrow].
He looked at the [Positioning Arrow] in his hand and went into deep thoughts.
Duyer was venting his anger on Kieran.
Everything seemed reasonable and logical, but some things still caught Kieran's attention.
For example, why did Duyer choose to attack him first?
According to the level of hatred, Sil Inner Sect should be the first target.
Besides, unlike the mysterious unknown, Sil Sect had started a war with the Ryde Family and brought Sil Inner Sect out in the open. As long as Kieran kept an eye on Sil Sect, Sil Inner Sect would come out sooner or later.
Other than Kieran, the initiator, everyone else shared the same thought.
Duyer would not be an exception.
Therefore, Duyer should pay more attention to Sil Sect, not Kieran.
Unless …
Someone said something.
Someone provoked Duyer with their words.
"Lester, help me find out who Duyer has been meeting these past few days!"
Kieran said.
"Yes, my lord."
Lester took action right away.
However, the result was barely satisfactory.
The surveillance cameras showed that Duyer didn't see anyone after he returned from the Mystic State.
On top of that, his communicator wasn't used either.
In order to better monitor E Block campus, Lester purposely installed a detector that could detect the communicator's frequency. As long as someone used the communicator within range, it would be detected.
"It was done in the Mystic State?"
Kieran looked down at the [Positioning Arrow] in his hand, his squinted eyes gleaming coldly.
The conversation in the Mystic State.
[Positioning Arrow] that allowed him to enter the Mystic State.
Everything was too coincidental.
Almost out of instinct, Kieran thought of a certain professor who disappeared from the campus.
Unconsciously, Kieran curled his lips into a grin.
"Could it be you?"
"Professor Smith?"
As he muttered to himself, Kieran made up his mind.
Since Smith was so eager to bring him into the Mystic State, how could he let him down?
Of course, before that.
Kieran looked at the metal box with [Energizing Steam Egg].
Without a second thought, Kieran opened the box.
The familiar golden radiance shone on his face, the faint aroma of the egg wafting out. Gluttony, who was eager for the egg, was whimpering.
"Go."
Kieran said with a smile.
Gluttony cheered and jumped towards the [Energizing Steam Egg].
The Cardinal Sins Force, Devil Force, Dawn Force, Plague Force, and Saint Thorn Force in Kieran's body started to circulate faster as the Proper Meal class food entered his stomach, supplying the little flame in his mind.
The little flame danced.
It became a little bigger.
More chaos and darkness started to disperse.
Kieran was all smiles as he felt the little flame grow bigger.
Although he didn't know how big the little flame would grow, every time it grew bigger, it would bring indescribable benefits to him.
The sharpness of his mind and the finer details of his spirit weren't listed in the system's description, but they truly existed.
Kieran liked the changes.
No one disliked the result of growing stronger.
As for the process of growing stronger?
It varied from person to person.
At least, Kieran liked the feeling of growing stronger by eating.
Likewise, he didn't reject the process of training hard to become stronger.
[Absorbed special energy, Intuition + 2]
[Intuition ZZZ → V- (Not Entered) II]
…
Kieran was delighted when his Intuition rose to V- and was on the verge of entering rank II.
Even though his Intuition only increased by 2 and not 3, it was still the same.
Kieran had expected it.
[Golden Gift (Incomplete)] was used to repair and optimize one's body, but there must be a limit to the repair and optimization. If there wasn't a limit, a terrifying monster would have been born in the so-called golden era.
Think about it, with unlimited strengthening, what would happen to those who consumed enough food with [Golden Gift]?
The kind ones would search for it themselves.
The cruel ones would enslave the weak to search for it.
The latter's ratio was much higher than the former's.
Never underestimate the despicable greed, just like how one shouldn't use money to test one's character.
The result would be inevitable.
If the situation continued to develop under such conditions, it would either create an existence that could suppress everything, or the whole era would be destroyed.
As for the result?
The golden era was gone.
Even though [Golden Gift] had its limits, the golden era was gone without a trace.
There might be other possibilities, but Kieran believed the mutual aggression was one of the most important reasons.
However, he wasn't a historian.
He wouldn't get to the bottom of things when there were no prerequisites.
He was more used to paying attention to his own matters.
Kieran took his coat and headed to the library.
He borrowed books that described the Mystic State one after another. In the next few days, Kieran did the same. Other than eating three meals a day, he would read the books even during class.
During these few days, the incident of Professor Duyer's accidental death was settled.
Although the neutral professors expressed their dissatisfaction, they chose to accept Professor Tyrant's explanation.
It was definitely not because Professor Tyrese agreed to let them take over Duyer's lab.
Just as the incident with Duyer's death was settled, shocking news came from outside Theorate.
After the battle between Sil Sect and Ryde Family entered a white-hot stage, Sil Sect quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. No one was surprised by the outcome.
Sil Sect was just a second or third tier sect without a core legacy, the only advantage they had was the number of members and the fast entry speed.
However, the Ryde Family had quite a number of members as well!
Especially when the Ryde Family offered [Drops of Finest Cream] as a reward, countless people were willing to serve the Ryde Family.
Then, just as everyone expected, Sil Inner Sect made their move.
However, to everyone's surprise …
The Sil Inner Sect that made their move wasn't the Lude or Palreynold that they were familiar with, but an elder.
The elder was much stronger than Lude and Palreynold, a powerhouse that displayed undying traits.
Fearless of encirclement.
Fearless of blades.
Fearless of fire.
When the elder defeated the mercenaries of Ryde Family single-handedly, the whole food world was in an uproar.
They were all trying to guess the abilities of this elder of the Sil Inner Sect.
That was what the elder called himself.
Although the elder didn't reveal his name, his position was certain.
More and more onlookers joined the fray. They were also curious about this Hill Inner Sect elder's ability, or rather, his secret technique.
It wasn't a secret that Sil Inner Sect originated from Arnold Sect.
Everyone knew how mysterious Arnold Sect was, but no matter how many people joined in, it was useless.
However, no matter how many people there were, it was useless. The elder of Sil Inner Sect came and went without a trace, and he would counterattack from time to time, causing the spectators to suffer heavy losses.
However, because of that, more people believed in the existence of Sil Inner Sect.
The Sil Inner Sect elder's style was exactly the same as the members of Sil Sect.
He didn't have the bearing of a powerhouse.
He was an assassin!
Some cursed at the Sil Inner Sect elder.
But more people were having headaches.
For example, the leader of Ryde Family.
He was the one with the biggest headache. Since the start of the war against Sil Sect, he had never felt such a headache before.
"Still haven't found the people from Theorate Inner Sect?"
The leader of Ryde Family, who hadn't slept well for days, looked a little haggard. He drank the tea beside him and asked his butler.
"Nope.
It's like he vanished into thin air.
There are too many Mystic States in Theorate, if he wanted to hide, we wouldn't be able to find him. "
The butler shook his head.
"I know right."
The leader of Ryde Family didn't refute the obvious fact, but he felt even more troubled.
"But I think a person should know something."
The butler said.
"Who?"
The leader of Ryde Family was stunned.
“2567！”
