I Will Survive Till The End: Blood Extermination Academy-Chapter 48: Home

Arc 2, 48 — Home

.

.

The daytime, they say, is a canvas of endless possibilities.

Levon ran his fingers through his hair causally.

From his waking to shard assimilation and training, he felt the day was the most vibrant he has ever had.

Now, he was no longer indoors, but OUT.

Alongside everyone else, he stood amid the strange and peculiar surroundings. freēnovelkiss.com

Everyone was still gasping, seemingly all out of breath.

What a cumbersome walk.

Many grumbled in their hearts, panting with exhaustion.

Although shard training strengthened their bodies a little, they still found it difficult making it up here.

Were they supposed to tread to and fro class from here?

Every other hill was green, except this distinct yellow one. Well, it looked like the color of wheat—Yellowish brown.

Only after taking on the journey, did they understand how far away it was from their classrooms.

From a distance, it looked too far off. However, they soon realized it was getting further and further the closer they got.

Luckily, there was no danger on the way. They ran for 2 hours before making it here. And this was with their somewhat enhanced bodies.

"Finally, we’re here." Someone exclaimed, dropping to his knees like a dog.

"Well, would you Look at that~"

"A royal mansion should be what it is."

It was hard to contain their awe.

Before them was a grand estate that was so wide it could cover 2 entire street blocks.

This was no joke.

Looking to the right... then looking to the right... they had to say it stretched out endlessly.

Of course, they could only see the upper half of the buildings, since the surrounding walls blocked their complete view.

"Walking up the wheat-colored grassy plains, they soon arrived at the entrance—a black, double-sided majestic Gate.

The Black gates were barred, allowing them to get a glimpse of what was to come.

"Tch, I’ve never lived in such a grand place before." Someone added with a sense of amusement in her tone when thinking of living in such a luxurious place moving forward.

"Well, it’s huge." Yimu muttered.

"Hmmm." Hendrix slowly raised his eyes from his book, nodding agreeably.

It was Larger than the estate he grew up in.

Everyone was fascinated.

Through the gates, they got a somewhat better look at the imposing Lone building that was barely 4 stories tall.

However, what it lacked in height, it made up with in length and width.

The imposing position stood at the highest pique within the fenced space.

Looking around, they also spotted gardens and a variety of strange plants.

"Well, I now know what it feels like to be rich."

"Damn! Are you seeing this? There’s a lot of space between these gates and the building. If we had go-karts, we could drive in the front. Just looking at it now, it seems we’ll have to walk an additional 16 minutes to get to the Mansion."

"16 minutes? That’s crazy right?"

"Well, when you think about it, it’s not that crazy. Think of all those grand estates abroad that require one to drive for 5 minutes from the gates to the mansions... I’m talking about those ones with over 20 lawns and luscious gardens with fish ponds the size of pools."

"That’s true! A 5 minute drive by car is about 15~20 minutes on foot."

Already, many felt I was not so bad after all. If anything, it made their chests rise high, as though they’ve acquired a well-deserved status of power.

Do they deserve it? Of course they freakin’ do!

This must be the perks involved in being a Bloodren.

"Well, it’s a beaut. 16 minutes give or take from this gate to the front door is truly—"

"Impressive, isn’t it?"

Who spoke just now?

Everyone swiftly raised their heads sideways, only to see a strange girl seated on the walls.

Levon’s pupils dilated. ’Since when was she here?’

He didn’t sense her presence at all.

The unidentified girl had very short hair.

However, it should be said that her hair was short in the back, but overly long in the front.

The longer pieces at the front were gathered around her face, and underneath her chin, tied in place with a ribbon.

In the end, all they could see was her mouth and the tip of her nose.

What kind of hairdo was that?

Her lips were plump and red, with a black mole mark on the left side of her upper lip.

She wore a knee-length black skirt, lined with yellow stripes.

Levon’s eyes drooped thoughtfully. ’So, what rank is yellow?’

He didn’t have time to think further, seeing the girl somersault forward.

Everyone’s eyes quickly caught sight of a pair of daggers underneath her skirt, securely fixed on the holster on her upper thighs.

"The name’s Clara." She announced, making a swift landing. There was a flirtatious yet dangerous aura about her. "Rank 5 Bloodren."

Rank 5?

Levon’s eyes shone with brilliance. From the little he learned from Villeta... There was Bloodren 10 all the way up to Bloodren Zero.

Then people ’graduate’ and become proper Bloodrens.

Ranks 5...

’She’s definitely above the graduation phase.’

In other words, she was far above their current level.

Many had thoughts of their own, when watching Clara make her way to the barred gates.

Suddenly—

~Bam!

With the tap of her fingers, the gates came flying open.

There was something about the way the gate moved that made many pause to touch the gates for themselves before following Clara in.

’So heavy?’

Levon was taken aback by how heavy the door was.

It looked like your everyday gate, but it felt like the weight of the world itself was compressed into these gates.

Yet Clara only tapped a finger and flew open as if immersed in a hurricane.

"Although your bodies should have grown a little stronger after Shard mutation, it’s still impossible to push open these gates without improving your shard’s ability and growing."

To open these doors wasn’t so easy even after Shard mutation. Back then, she had suffered countless times before managing to move it an inch forward.

But what about them?

How soon will they make progress?

Clara gave a side eyed glance towards the imposing black gates.

In the end, only time would tell.

For now, it was time to show them around their new home, and prepare for that.

Fufufufufu~

Clara laughed menacingly, as she slowly led the new Bloodren 10s in.
