Chapter 45: A Disciple's Upcoming Challenges

Continuing on he showed many images and data to back up his reports and a few hours later the meeting ended.

"That's all for today tomorrow we will continue this and we have to get all of this sorted out by the end of the month. Remember we have a week to review the recent actions those guys did. Hopefully, those bastards will wait till we finish this and create countermeasures to their future actions."

"""Yes sir.""""

"Good, dismissed."

With that as the sign, everyone started to leave the conference room.

"Excuse can I have a moment of your time sir?"

"Hmm, you are?"

"Ah yes, I am A butler from the Scarlet family Exclusively the butler of young master Clayton Scarlet."

"Oh, that kid huh So what is it?"

"We want to thank you for your help and fast response. Although things weren't wonderful it was still a fast response that exceeded our expectations thank you, Miss Christine."

"No worries I was just there at the right time. Plus, it was young Clayton's that helped him overcome that situation. I was only there during the aftermath."

"Haha Thank you still. It was also a great event for the young master Thanks to it he achieved his long-awaited third awakening now he started to get even busier with his training and he even got hooked on the virtual world he hated so much before. "

"That's amazing. It took me till my twenties to get to my third awakening that boy is a genius indeed. It won't be long till he masters Mana's manifestation and finally creates his core."

"Haha Well, that is only possible due to his skill."

"Yeah, a skill from the legends is indeed worthy of respect. I wonder how he will utilize it."

"After some small talk the two the butler parted ways from them."

"Clayton huh, did you know your student declared a challenge against him?"

"Jayven, why?"

"That's how boys are I guess I remember you once fought that guy before."

"You mean the guy that kept staring at you? Heh, He should be thankful he only received that much. I heard he changed carrier after our bout."

"Yeah, yeah, you're the best. Now hurry up and finish some paperwork so that we can go back and properly train him."

"…. Yeah, your right."

Depressed he followed Chris to their office in the base. But then suddenly a man called out to them.

"Yo, Klein long time no see."

"We just saw each other at the meeting Clinton."

"Not that. you know what I mean."

"Yeah, long time no see."

"Heh. Let's catch up."

"Sir, we need to finish some paperwork why not do this later?"

Then his assistant intervenes in the conversation. Which Chris also accepted.

"Yeah, I think it is better to do this later."

"Come on, I am just gonna say something really quick."

"Heard her I'm going."

"Why do you always do what she says?"

"Always? He sometimes jumps out of nowhere leaving me behind."

"I leave a note don't I. Plus I did it for a good reason."

"That doesn't make it better."

"I see, Christine, you have it bad but this guy is uncontrollable he goes on a rampage quite often than not.

"You have it hard as well. Why did they even become the pillars of our world?"

"So true."

As the two ladies were comforting each other because of their predicament a person then came to their direction.

"You guys are blocking my red carpet get out of the way, will you?"

"Mr. Popstar."

"Hello Mr. Morning Wood."

"Morning Star! you dimwits I want to be called by my nickname, not your silly ass insult."

"Wow, you know it's an insult."

"Sir, please stop. If we don't finish your paperwork fast or else, we will miss most of your interviews and recordings."

"Tch my manager's right get out of the way."

Forcefully making his way he walks through Klein and the others.

"I'm so sorry he was not in a good mood right now he missed a lot of interviews and recordings due to this sudden call."

"Well, I understand him I was training my disciple and this happened."

"Mine too I was about to train my disciple but we were suddenly called here."

"Oh, you have a disciple as well."

"Yeah, so what?"

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"Hmm, I'm all ears."

"Again, I'm sorry I'll be going now."

""Bye.""

"She had it tough."

"Well, that goes to show how difficult our job is."

"The reason why I am doing this is because Our guild master told me to. Isn't it the same with you?"

"Well-."

"Chris let's go."

"Oh okay, Bye."

"See you later Christine."

"With that, the two parted."

"What did you talk about With Clinton?"

"We made a bet on who amongst our students will be stronger."

"Eh, are you gonna make Jayven fight his student? You do know the huge gap they have, right? Both experience and skill."

"That might be true but this is also a good chance for Jayven to have to battle it out someday. I am just setting the stage for him. And this will be a valuable experience for him".

"Yeah, I guess. So, what is the basis of the fight, are you going to have a private match-up?"

"No, we are going to let them fight at the upcoming selection tournament."

"That's two years from now."

"That's why."

"Do you mean his skill? But we don't know what it does yet."

"We don't but I feel like Jayven knows something and just maybe it will create a miracle."

"Maybe he has a chance against his student as you say but can he beat Clayton?"

"What's the sudden question? You already know the outcome, right?"

"You really have no faith he will win huh?"

"You know it as well the resources used by the main members of the six families is the cream of the crop. Nothing in our world can challenge it."

"Except Boss."

"Oh, well that guy is a monster. If we are in a story, he will be the main protagonist."

"That's true. But I still want to see how Jayven will match up against Clayton when they see each other."

"No shot, the kid already achieved his third awakening. You do know the earlier it is awakened the more monstrous one becomes right?"

"Like how the seven heroes defeated the demon king because of it."

"It isn't called the final stage of the skill awakening for nothing."

"A power to challenge the top if I remember right Boss achieved his third awakening the same year he received his bestowment."

"Two awakenings in a year achieving the final stage within a year."

They then thought of it and said at the same time.

""Master (Boss) Tundra is just built differently.""

--------Back at the Maze Mansion---------

"Let's see here, other than what I have, I have nothing else. For now, let's Assess my situation before making a move."

Looking around his stuff the only thing Jayven has is what he got in his storage since arriving in Decagon City.

"The toilet problem might be solved if I go inside, and good thing I did some sightseeing outside and got some personal business done, not to mention trying some street food along the way."

Grateful for his past self's actions Jayven then finalized his things and got ready to examine the mansion.

"This trial is long term but what I want to know is its difficulty."

His goal this time is to get to the control room of the mansion before the exam application which is two months from now.

"It may seem long but that isn't so if I think about it carefully, the mansion is a huge five-story building. There has got to be some twist here and there since he said that this house is like a dungeon."

Walking steadily to the side of the mansion Jayven was looking around to see the exterior of it. but halfway through he was stopped.

[You are only allowed to enter at the front of the house, you cannot use the back door or enter the side of it.]

Noticing the warning He had no choice but to just do it. He then entered the house by opening the door.

With a bam the door was open and nothing else happened.

"Oh, I guess that's good." As soon as he said those words a flying disk flew so fast that it sent him flying as it hit him."

"..ugh." sitting up he was in a daze. "What the heck was that? it came out of nowhere."

As he looked for the disk, he didn't find anything.

"Where was it? I swore there was supposed to be a flying black object coming straight at me. Where was it?"

He looked but didn't find anything thinking it may have something to do with the house he just gave up and went inside again ready.

"For now, I need to analyze the trajectory of whatever it was that was flying and safely get in."

For the following minutes, Jayven observed and calculated the disk's trajectory and speed. Because of that, it didn't take long before he could analyze the doorway problem.
