Legendary Soul Art

Chapter 41 Red Devil



The rumors about Luna\'s defeat had already spread to everyone in the Academy so Number One created another sensation the moment he appeared again. He was the only one who could defend the honor of the new students so everyone was excited to see the incoming battle.

"Number One! Avenge us! You can do it!"

"Make them pay for hurting Miss Luna!

The students were calling out excitedly as they followed Number One but he completely ignored them all as if he wasn\'t interested in any battle.

"Are we going to the cafeteria first?" Nami wondered as they strolled through the Academy but Number One pulled her towards the exit instead.

"Let\'s go check on Luna first," Number One decided as he assured in his mind. \'Don\'t worry, I don\'t have any feelings for her. I just don\'t want the other Alchemist to be first. Her favor will be worth much more in the future.\'

\'It\'s alright. I won\'t mind even if you do. I will accept anything as long as you love me,\' Nami replied casually which caught Number One by surprise. He imagined having more than one woman by his side and that thought scared him.

\'That will probably never happen,\' Number One commented.

Nami only squeezed his palm as she chuckled, \'Never say never, haha. Maybe I should introduce you to my step-sis. She is also a hottie.\'

\'You want me to have two hungry women who want to eat me alive? I would have to Dual-cultivate all day round,\' Number One replied with mixed emotions. \'I\'m already struggling with one so two would kill my Soul. Unless I can improve my Soul Talent, it\'s impossible.\'

Even if he could receive more Heavenly Feathers, it was too risky for him.

\'Tsk, I was just joking and you were actually considering it,\' Nami muttered with a snicker. \'My step sister already has a well-known partner so she wouldn\'t even look at you. It\'s better for me though since she can be quite possessive. She might even try to steal you…\'

Number One only chuckled at her change of expression and ended the topic as they finally left the dorms. Many students were following after them which gathered even more attention from the outside. They couldn\'t really do anything about it as that was the price of being number one.

They were trying to avoid any confrontations for now but the only pathway to Medical Center was right next to the Training Grounds which were filled with people. "It\'s Number One! He has finally finished his training!"

Everyone started calling out loudly which alerted a certain group of five adults standing in the middle of the plaza. Darius who was also with them couldn\'t help but meet his gaze with Number One and he rubbed his forehead as if to fend off the incoming headache.

"No duels without my approval! Just reminding before you try to fight," Darius called out with a stern gaze but the five visitors were not bothered by him at all.

"Sure, sure! We would never bully our juniors." A tall redhead responded excitedly and cracked his knuckles with a grin. "We only fight if we are challenged as we promised to the Headmaster. It\'s not our fault that they bite more than they can chew."

Darius only darkened at the redhead\'s statement but he kept his comment to himself and spoke out loud, "I can\'t really stop Number One if he challenges you guys but I would strongly advise against that. I didn\'t wake up today to collect burned bodies from the ground."

The five main Academy students froze at his words and their smiles faltered. They already spent enough time in the Selection Academy to find out about Number One\'s Soul Arts and it was clear what he implied. If they faced Number One, they would be the ones who might end up dead.

"Haha! Interesting!" the redhead laughed out loud as his gaze sharpened at Number One and he walked up to intercept their walk. "Hey man! All of us were waiting to meet the legendary Number One. You have finally decided to come out of your seclu—"

The redhead was forced to stop talking after realizing Number One paid no attention and walked right past him. He quickly ran before further down the pathway and this time waved a bit closer. "Hey! We didn\'t get the chance to introduce ourselves yet. I\'m Red Devil, a student from the Main Acade—"

It was the same result as now even Nami failed to acknowledge him and they walked forward without the care in the world. One time could be an accepted coincidence but if it happened two times, it was a confirmed disrespect. Anyone with a brain could tell he was being ignored which caused the students to giggle.

All five seniors looked at each other and their expressions darkened. The respect they built with their display of strength was instantly disregarded by Number One\'s actions. What did it say about the status of the main Academy students?

Red Devil was the one affected the most. His face turned red and he vanished from his position. The students only blinked and he was already standing on the pathway with his body blocking the way.

Darius finally moved closer to be at the scene in case a duel broke out. Number One didn\'t seem interested at all but it was an even worse sign. It would only crush the main Academy students\' egos and they were bound to look for a fight.

"I was being nice because of Miss Nami, but you are pissing me off. Do you think you are some bigshot just because you are at the top of the Selection Academy? You will be nothing but a bug the moment you step inside the main Academy!" Red Devil shouted angrily. "You dare call yourself Number One yet you run away from—"

"Who…" Number One cut Red Devil off as he finally stopped for him.

"Who what?" Red Devil questioned right away but that spelled his doom.

"...asked?" Number One finished the sentence with the most indifferent gaze possible.
