Chapter 225. An Asset to protect.

The afternoon sun shone brilliantly through the streets of Sauna City University.

The rays of the sun peered through the glass windows sitting halfway atop the corridor, casting shadows on the ground.

A professor with brown hair and black eyes, wearing a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, moved through the hallway with a calm expression on his face.

Whenever several students and staff members moving through the corridor saw him, they looked at him with expressions of respect and curiosity.

"It’s him!"

"Professor Vhorn!"

"Damn! I’d give anything to be in his lecture hall."

"Seriously, I really envy the fourth year students."

"I tell you, our combat instructor is like trash compared to him. I just listened to his lecture and I’ve realised the problems I have with my movement technique and weapon style."

Several students whispered among themselves.

However, none of them dared to approach the ordinary looking calm young man.

The image of how he manifested a crimson blade and several millimeters near the neck of Alfonse Adams was still on their minds.

They were terrified of the man. What if they approached him and he killed them in a fit of anger?

Rumors were that this man never revealed anger. But he could say thank you or be polite to you and still kill you.

The man was a walking calamity.

No student wanted to take a chance and approach him.

As for the professors, opportunistic glints flashed through their eyes. They moved towards him with calm expressions and polite smiles on their faces.

There was no way they would let go of an opportunity to be well acquainted with someone of Professor Vhorn’s caliber.

"Professor Vhorn’s lecture was really enlightening."

"Indeed. Professor is really experienced."

"Even though I am not from the combat department and my expertise is artifact engineering, I couldn’t help but be enamored by the lecture."

"I was just doing my job, professors." Aiden shook their hands and exchanged pleasantries with them politely.

Several glints flashed through the eyes of the professors.

The rumors were indeed true. This man was really a polite person. So polite that a stupid person would mistake that politeness for weakness and try to do something stupid.

This was what made him extremely terrifying.

His restraint and polite demeanor. One could never know what he was plotting or thinking.

"Professor Vhorn, my name is Iana and I am in need of some help regarding my movement techniques, if possible, can you visit my villa today to help me out with some stretching exercises~," a woman said with an opportunistic expression in her eyes.

"Professor, if you are not too busy, can we have launch and discuss some movement techniques the research department on campus is trying to synergise?" Another beautiful female professor said.

The male professors and the students passing the hallway knew what was actually happening.

These female professors were trying to ask Professor Vhorn out on a date.

Some of them were thirty years older than him, right?

Didn’t they have any shame? Although because of cultivation, veteran warriors retained their appearance most of the time age did not make one’s appearance change, they were old enough to be his grandmothers right?

This...

Several female students gnashed their teeth.

If only they could shoot their shots...

However, they observed the situation, sighed, and just left the place.

The professor was entirely out of their leagues.

"Sorry ladies, I would politely have to decline," Professor Vhorn said politely.

After that, he slipped through the crowd under the gazes of everyone, and walked out of the lecture building.

Many stared at his retreating back and sighed.

Among them, one of the female professors sighed inwardly.

"To think he’d reject my offer to hook up. Killing men you sleep with is easier than any other method," the woman thought. "If we don’t get rid of him, and he returns to the Cyrenthia Empire for revenge in the future, we are doomed. I suppose an ambush will do. I need to inform major Dominio Stele about the current development."

****

Sauna City University.

Professorship Residential Area.

President’s villa.

In a living room.

Two individuals were seated on a couch.

They looked extremely identical. One was a man and one was a woman.

The woman was called Xandera, the vice president of Sauna City University.

The man was called Xander, the president of Sauna City University.

The two of them were identical twins. They were legendary rank 3 warriors. They had black hair, and black eyes.

They had just finished watching the video of Aiden Vhorn’s first lecture.

"Brother, what do you think?" Xandera crossed her arms over her chest and asked.

"I now understand why you were in a rush to come here and tell me to watch the video, sis." Xander leaned forward with interlocked fingers, elbows resting on his thigh.

"We need to do everything possible to get into the good books of Aiden Vhorn," Xander said with the calculating eyes of a veteran. "He’s an asset to the university. The young man has the combat experience of a veteran. Also, he has strong political weight at the moment, and is a disciple of Armstrong Lee, the third strongest person on the planet."

"I thought as much," Xandera nodded. "We cannot let this opportunity slip by. We must ensure that he actively knows we are backing him. Right now, his enemies may want to covertly deal with him. I think we should capitalize on that and do him a favor."

"Indeed," Xander said. "You can come out now."

The moment Xander spoke, several figures materialised in front of them.

There were 100 of them. All of them were expert rank 3 warriors.

"Sir." The group of 100 assassins bowed.

"Sorry to call you on such short notice," Xandera said.

"It’s not a problem," one of the people said. "We followed you both throughout your time in the Iron Empire military before you retired and became academicians. It’s because of you both that we are all alive. This is a way of repaying you back for everything."

"Thank you," Xander said.

"There’s someone we want you to protect. He will be here soon for us to introduce him to you."
