Chapter 151: My next four months in the academy (4)
After the brief conversation with the leaders of the academy, I left for my training with Angela.
On my way, I got a lot of stares from the students but I didn't care. Most of these idiots are similar to extras in a story, who would die sooner than later. So, I have no need to worry about their thinking.
Anyway, the headmaster would clear my name in a few minutes and the stares would die away after that.
What I need to think about is Angela. She wouldn't help a murderer, so I have to show her the video of what happened in the secret realm. I already showed it to the leader, so there was no problem with another seeing the video.

Speaking with Angela, was not easy.
She too thought that I had killed Dorian but she was not as accusing as those old men were. With her, it was a simple misunderstanding. After all, I am trying to earn enough brownie points and pull her to my bed. It was not the same with those old men.
After I showed her the video, she was relieved that it was done in self-defence. Moreover, she wasn't surprised by the fact that Dorian acted like that in the secret realm.
When I asked her, she said four words, "I am not dumb".
At first, I didn't understand but then I remembered what happened a year ago. Dorian tried to make me look like a bully in front of Angela. She is not a weak person. She should have heard what Dorian was doing and should have come to an conclusion on what he was trying to do that day.
Moreover, there were many classes and monthly exams that we attended in the first year. She should have observed his behaviour and should have seen that he was not a good person. Probably it is one of the reasons why she didn't appear to accuse me.
"Now, forget about that", Angela spoke, "Let's begin our training on..."

As promised earlier, the headmaster has declared to the academy students and staff, how the five students died.
Two of them were killed by monsters, who overestimated their strength and entered the Inner region on the second day itself. They should have thought that because the outer region monsters were weak, they could easily defeat the monsters of the Inner region and get their hands on the resources of that region.
I mean, the Inner region was practically untouched for who knows how long. Anyone would be tempted but the test was whether they could stand such a temptation.
The inner region is not a safe area, and it was advised not to enter prematurely. In their arrogance and greed for the resources, they entered the area prematurely and died because of that.
If they had entered the area at the end of the thirty days, they might have been alive now.
This was why it was advised not to try doing things that you are capable of doing.
Two were killed by Dorian, which I knew from the footage in the Nexus. When they learned that, they should have thought that the noble children went over the line and ended up dead, but I succeeded and eliminated him. Now they know and so does everyone in the academy.
The headmaster declared that I had killed Dorian in self-defence, only after Dorian tried to snatch the resources and kill me.
Whatever contempt that was there, disappeared.
Though the noble children look down on commoner kids, most of them don't think to attack them, even if they are outside.
Being a noble doesn't mean being ignorant. Maybe a lit be arrogant but most understand where the line is. They wouldn't cross such a line.
Most of the students' view of me changed to disgust when they learned that I killed a fellow student but it reverted back to good when the headmaster had publicly cleared me of all charges and gave an explanation about the incident.

Weeks went by after the headmaster declared that I was not guilty but there was no movement in regards to William.
I wonder what made them summon me for the death of a student without proper evidence but they didn't make a move against William even after I provided them with evidence.
It looks like one can't trust others even if they appear to be trustworthy.
I should have not given them the evidence. They called me without proper evidence but there was no movement with respect to William. It was almost as if they were ignoring the fact and letting him go.

There is a small increase in the attributes but those are not what's important but the improvement in my skill levels are.
As I planned, a few of my skills reached level 20 and even crossed my expectations.
Shadow Bolt Volley reached level 21, which made it easier to kill more monsters easily. In addition to that there was a new Refined Skill, Blood Drain Field, which can drain the blood of all creatures in a certain radius.
Evade and Dodge increased by three levels and reached level 20. Fusion and Split are the same in both improvement and the current level.
Sprint increased by five levels, whereas Strengthen and Perception increased by four levels to reach level 20.
In resistances, Physical Resistance improved by three levels and reached Level 22.
Light Resistance increased by a level from level 4 to level 5.
Magic Resistance (Non-Attribute), and Water Resistance increased by three levels to level 10.
Fire Resistance improved by three levels and reached level 11.
Space, Wind and Lightning Resistances increased by two levels reaching levels 7, 8, and 6 respectively.
Alertness and Parry improved by three levels and reached level 15 and level 10 respectively.
Devour, Demon Gaze and Pet World each improved by a single level and reached Levels 9,5. and 3 respectively.
Coming to Weapon Arts, there were not many improvements. Staff Arts improved by a single level while Movement and Hand Combat Arts improved by two levels.
By the end of next semester, my skills would reach levels that even many veterans have yet to reach.
Anyway, now that the semester exams are done, it's time to return home.
