Had it been other Sixth-Grade Warriors at their pinnacle, or even a Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician, Uno wouldn’t have taken a second look at them. As someone who had astounding forces behind him, why would he care about a Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician?
But...
If the said Seventh-Grade Warrior or Magician were a 15-years-old young boy, then that would be unbelievable!
Moreover, Uno had even realized something critical!
Meng Lei wasn’t just a Magician—his body was also very strong. Although he had rarely made use of his physique in all 30 of his matches, it couldn’t escape Uno’s eyes!
15 years old!
At least sixth-grade pinnacle!
And a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts at that!
He had rarely even heard of someone like that, much less seen one. Uno had only one word of appraisal for him—a genius!
A real genius!
When associating with someone like that, he naturally needed to get in their good graces. Meng Lei might just become an astonishingly great figure in the future! When that happened, he would receive unimaginable rewards!
Thus, upon seeing that Meng Lei had something to request of him, Uno was naturally overjoyed.
“I’d like to take a month’s leave to return home!”
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Meng Lei went straight to the point and voiced his request. As a Silver Fighter, he needed to fight at least five matches per month. He couldn’t go home unless he took a leave of absence!
“Take leave?”
Uno nodded slightly. Fire Dragon Academy was on winter vacation now, so it was normal that Meng Lei would apply for leave to go home. He didn’t reject his request, but smiled and said, “That’s alright, of course! Is a month enough? How about two months instead?”
“A month is enough!”
...
It was already 10 p.m. by the time he left Flame Arena. Meng Lei didn’t return to the magic academy but headed toward Great Axe Academy instead. His two little buddies, Joseph and Andrew, were studying there.
Winter vacation had probably also started at Great Axe Academy. Meng Lei wanted to ask Joseph and Andrew whether they would like to go back to the village together. If possible, they would be able to keep each other company if they went back together!
“Looking at the date, it has been almost two months since I last saw them?
“And there’s that girl Jonah, too...”
Chapter 53: Bullying And Humiliation, Raging Fury
There were more than 70 warrior academies in Fire Dragon Capital City, and Great Axe Academy was one of them. This mid-range warrior academy had a history of more than 5,000 years and had groomed a large number of excellent Warriors and experts!
It had a long-standing history and was a producer of innumerable experts!
When Meng Lei stood at the Great Axe Academy entrance, he noticed two giant decorated axes over 20 meters long towering aloft above the school gates. The axe blades gleamed coldly in the light, the sharpness of the blades displayed to their fullest!
They were the symbols of Great Axe Academy, the Saenger war axes!
“Halt!”
The guards stopped Meng Lei in his way.
“I’m here to look for someone!”
“Please register here first!”
“Alright!”
The management in warrior academies wasn’t as strict as in magic academies. After a simple registration, Meng Lei successfully entered Great Axe Academy and headed toward the freshmen condominiums.
He had been here five months ago and knew where the freshmen condominiums were. Thus, he naturally knew his way around when he came here again this time. It didn’t take him long to reach the freshmen condominiums.
It wasn’t any less crowded than in the magic academies. Warrior academies recruited a lot of students every year. As long as they could fork out the expensive school fees and their ages met the requirements, the academies typically accepted everyone into the school.
Thus, this led to very mediocre living conditions in warrior academy dormitories. For example, Joseph and Andrew’s dormitories were just like the student dormitories on Earth. Six people occupied a single dormitory unit and slept on bunk beds. The living conditions couldn’t compare to the magic academies’ at all!
It was already 11 p.m. However, the student condominiums were brightly lit. Carefree laughter and sounds of conversation could be heard from every dormitory. There were people playing magical beast chess, people drinking and playing finger-guessing games, people singing and howling... It was a complete change from its usual iron-fisted solemness. The whole condominium building was extraordinarily lively and bustling!
Looks like winter vacation has also started in Great Axe Academy!
Meng Lei rode the magic ladder up to the 11th floor and arrived in front of Joseph’s dormitory. Unexpectedly, he’d only just reached the entrance when someone was thrown out of the dormitory!
This particular building was a single-sided condominium. Rooms were only built on one side of the building, so the other side was empty thin air. Should anyone come flying out and fall off from the 11th floor, they would definitely die very tragically!
“Look out!”
With his sharp eyes and quick reflexes, Meng Lei appeared behind the person in a flash. He caught him lightly with an arm and pulled him back easily.
“Ugh!”
The person threw up a mouthful of blood, within which were a few broken teeth. Half of his face was badly swollen, and his nose bridge was also sunken in. He honestly looked rather wretched and miserable!
“Joseph?”
Upon looking at the person in his hold, Meng Lei’s expression instantly darkened!
“Big Brother Meng Lei?” A jolt went through Joseph upon hearing his voice, and he hurriedly looked toward Meng Lei, his eyes full of joy and surprise. “Big Brother Meng Lei, why are you here?”
Right after he spoke, he grimaced and held one side of his face, in so much pain that
