"I have to go back before they deliver the quest to get the rewards! If the time thing is real, then they only have a few hours ahead of me."

Arthur had to arrive first, no matter what, or else he would be in a financial trouble. Now that he was in the outside world, using mana was no problem, so his flight and teleport proved to be life-savers!

He believed he would arrive at the school before than those three teachers. Different from them, Arthur did not need to sleep, so he kept going without stopping for a single second!

During the journey, Arthur did not cross paths with them. Everything went smoothly, and he was back at the One Hundred Thunder Academy.

There was no need for him to stop and let the guard check him, as he had the token of the school, allowing him to pass through the barrier without problems.

He bounced to his house to grab a new pair of clothing, as he was still wearing fur armor, and also shave his face.

After that, he went to the exchange center to check if the mission was said to be completed on the mission board. It wasn't. That meant the three teachers were still on their way to the school.

Arthur sighed in relief and then looked around for Laura. It was difficult to find her because of her prestigious position, but nothing Arthur could not handle.

"So, what do you want to talk with me?" Laura said, crossing her legs, staring at Arthur.

He explained everything that had happened and even came up with a plan.

"What? Are you one hundred percent sure they attacked you?"

"Yep. Will they believe me if I say I did not see the attacker? Those scorpions came out from the ground out of nowhere, so maybe we can make them think we don't know about their true colors!"

"Well, it should work if we don't act suspicious. Just rest. I will talk with my teacher about this."

"Thank you, Laura. You are the best!"

"Shut up, you idiot."

She left with her cheeks blushed. Laura's teacher was the leader of the school, someone with the power of a rank 2 mage! She would share everything she learned with Arthur with him, hoping that he would help them.

Arthur wasn't expecting the school leader to attack the three teachers, as that was something even Arthur could do. They needed to be smarter and figure out who was behind these three traitors.

Not only that, but what if there were more traitors inside the school? Arthur needed the power of the school to find his friends and perhaps help in Odemore's building process, so he had to find these traitors, or else the school could be in danger!

Now it was all up to Laura and her teacher. If they did not believe Arthur, then things would get rough.

Two more days passed after Arthur's arrival at the school, and the moment the three teachers entered inside the school, Arthur went to greet them.

He knew the first thing they would do was deliver the quest to get their rewards, so Arthur was already in the exchange center, waiting for them.

"Hahaha, we will get a lot of points now, as we got more stings than the quest needed, and completed with just the three of us." Esmond said.

When they went inside the building where one could exchange points for items, and also get the quests, Arthur was there, staring at the door with a friendly face!

He was not wearing the fur armor anymore, but his usual casual shirt, pants, and a long black robe that also had a hood.

For a second, Bailey, Esmond and Michelle froze in place! They could not believe what they were seeing. How could Arthur be there after falling into that pit?

"Arthur! You are okay?" Bailey said.

They kept looking in all directions, waiting for the school enforcers to come and punish them for treason, but it never happened.

"Yeah, I think a scorpion attacked me from behind and I fell. Anyway, shall we deliver the quest?"

There were lots of questions inside their minds. They were sure Arthur saw them attacking him, as Michelle even cast a lightning prison.

"This leads to three possibilities. First, he told the school and they are working together to get us. Second, he told the school, but they did not believe him. Third, he somehow lost some of his memories after being hurt." Bailey thought.

She believed in the second option. The three of them were students of the school since a long time ago, while Arthur was just someone who randomly entered. Out of all of them, he would be the most suspicious of being a traitor.

"We are glad you are okay."

The only way for them to find out if the school was after them was by looking for clues, and that was something they would do in a later time.

Bailey was the one if the quest itself, so she was the one who delivered it. The attendant of the exchange center grabbed the scorpion stings, as the school was responsible in delivering the items to the person who wrote the request, and then gave them the points.

"This is enough to pay for everything I got, and I still have a lot of points!"

Even though all of that bullshit happened inside the Icy Cave, Arthur still reaped some benefits, such as increasing his ice affinity to extraordinary levels, and learning more about the 'gods'.

The bad part was that he lost his arm, but it would heal in a few months.

"At least I look more bad ass now with only one arm!"

Arthur returned to his small little cabin again and prepared his plantation! Most of the herbs he got from the exchange center were common ones, and weren't that extraordinary that people would want to steal them from him.

So, he planted them just outside his cabin, but even though it was supposed to be safe, Arthur still put a lot of formations around his house, and spent quite the effort to make them.

He did not know, but after creating so many formations, coupled with his quick learning, Arthur became an expert in magical formations.

The formations he put around his cabin would protect his things from most mages. Still, the rank 2 mages were too strong for him, but the only one on that level was the school's leader, so everything should be fine.

Now, what he needed to do was find a place to plant his bloodline tree, uncover the reason behind his attack inside the cave, and also become someone important enough for the school to give him perks.

It was a lot of things to do, but the first step was to teach those students who were the bad ass inside that school!

Arthur went to teach some weaklings in the next day and became a sensation within hours! Everyone was talking about the handsome teacher who only had one arm, yet was strong enough to shake the world!

Most of the people who listened to his teachings barely spoke, because Arthur looked scary!

Another month passed, and Arthur climbed the ladder from the bottom to the top! Everyone inside the school now knew him, and for most of the students, he was the best teacher!

The school leader called him for a meeting inside his room. Apparently, it would be the first time he would leave the school after returning from the Icy Cave.

"A tournament? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"You will not be fighting, don't worry! Only the students from the tenth circle and beneath will be fighting. I called you here because I want you to be the leader of our squad."
