Chereads / Mistaken Final Boss / Chapter 34 - Opening Ceremony

Chapter 34 - Opening Ceremony

When the prompt that the task was completed appeared, it was like a clear spring pouring into Astr's mind.

Hot sparks flew out, and in the blink of an eye, he understood the secret craft of making goblin bone mugs from beginning to end.

Among them, the most important raw material is the bone meal of abnormal creatures. Astr has collected one of them.

That is a broken banana heart.

At the same time, Astr did not hesitate to add all the 80 experience points he gained to the wizard apprentice to level up more.

[Wizard Apprentice Lv11 → Lv12]

For a moment, Astr felt an itching in his abdomen, and the penetrating wound was actually healing quite fast.

Astr glanced at Instructor Byron, who was looking at him, and did not provoke him any more to avoid being caught for research.

He just asked, "Instructor Byron, where are my original clothes and sword?"

What Astr really wanted to ask was, Where is the broken Bangshee heart?

'My clothes were changed, and my wounds were treated. Presumably, my "trophies" must have been taken away by the academy, right?'

Unexpectedly, Instructor Byron said simply

"Your sword has been infected by the aura of Nightmare, so it is left to the people of the Wizard department to deal with."

'...Has it vanished? Logically, if the swords with the aura of nightmares are removed, the core of that creature, being a nightmare, should be more noticeable, right? Is he feigning ignorance?'

Astr gazed silently at the instructor, whose figure resembled a mane, framed by a monocle. His clear and passionate emerald green eyes held Astr's attention, creating an atmosphere of quiet intensity.

Instructor Byron touched his chin and smiled shyly. "I know I am a bit handsome, but don't stare like this, hehe~"

Astr: "...Haha." He replied with a fake smile.

'Instructor Byron doesn't seem like someone who would lie openly. In this case, the academy didn't realise that I still held the heart of the nightmare monster. The heart was taken away by others in advance.'

Almost immediately, a name came to Astr's mind: Rafeal Louis, aka Canvasbane.

This guy is quite clever and knows how to hide my loot. Astr chuckled inwardly and asked again, "How long have I been unconscious, Instructor Byron?"

"Not long, just a week—oh my God, I actually forgot such an important thing. Come on." Instructor Byron suddenly shouted.

He leaned over, picked up Astr, and threw him into a wheelchair.

Astr:????

Instructor Byron's treatment was very rough and knocked Astr to pieces.

"Instructor Byron! What are you?"

"No time to explain; get in the car."

Instructor Byron shouted excitedly, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, and rushed out. In an instant, Astr's head was pushed hard into the backrest by the reaction force.

'Are Astral's instructors all so abnormal?'

Astr shouted in his heart, and his usually gentle face showed a trace of soreness.

At this moment, Astr missed the herbology professor, Mr. Keal, who was very easy to bully, even though his research direction was weird.

'No, he was a very gentleman.'

With lightning and sparks all the way, Instructor Byron fully demonstrated to Astr the tendon meat underneath his bard-like appearance.

In less than a minute, they passed through most of the academy and arrived outside the auditorium at the other end.

"Hey, do you know what day it is today?"

Instructor Byron blinked at Astr without even breathing.

'I don't know about today, but next year it will be your death anniversary today if you Fucking don't leave me?' Astr thought expressionlessly.

He looked pale, as if he had been on a roller coaster, and almost vomited. Instructor Byron had no idea what disrespectful things his "well-behaved and sensible" student was thinking.

He slowly pushed open the heavy, solid wood door carved with swords and roses, suppressing his excitement in his heart, and said,

"Today is the day of the entrance ceremony." With that, the door opened.

The sunlight poured in, elongating the two figures into the dark auditorium and covering the seats in the back. The students in the back row casually glanced back and were stunned.

They opened their mouths wide and stared unblinkingly at the slender figure sitting on the wheelchair outside the door, completely stunned.

On the podium illuminated by lights, a handsome young man wearing Astral's dark red uniform, blond hair, and golden eyes was boasting,

"Although those terrible nightmare monsters want me to surrender, I am a noble son of the Louis family. How can I do something like so__ Astr"

As the final names echoed and the startling sound of their voices cracked, every person in the auditorium turned their attention to the door. The ones who were far away even stood on the chairs.

'Astr Serene?'

For a time, various legends about this name emerged one after another in everyone's minds, and the shock in their hearts was even greater.

Countless gazes were directed at the white-haired boy sitting in the wheelchair.

On one of the teacher's seats. Professor of Herbology Keal stood up excitedly, pointed at the door with his round belly, and shouted in surprise:

"Look, It's Astr Serene."

"He actually woke up! It's incredible. I obviously expected him to have to wait... for another week."

His voice became weaker and weaker. Because the face of Felix, the head of the Department of Alchemy, who was sitting next to him at the very edge, was already gloomy to the point of dripping.

Felix's hands were tightly grasped on the armrests; veins popped out, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a gorgeous debut, Astr Serene..."

There was no doubt about it. No matter how bright the blond head on the podium was under the light, the focus of the ceremony had already changed hands.

"You have become so famous, student Astr, you who returned from the nightmare~"

Instructor Byron leaned down and whispered to Astr, as if he were watching

the fun and not taking it too seriously.

"..."

Astr was a little helpless.

'He fucking drove me all the way here just to show off.'

When all the people looked at Astr, he did not seem to be clumsy or cowardly. Under the scorching or scrutinising gazes of everyone, Astr raised his chin slightly and calmly and arrogantly let Instructor Byron push him down the central aisle.

'I must have been very cool.'

Anlos thought proudly until he heard a soft cry.

"So cute~ Just like my Snow White cat."

Astr choked: "..."

'Boys can't use cuteness; they must be handsome' He glared at the speaker fiercely, making the girl's cheeks turn red.

She held her heart in her hands and said "Cute.".

'.....never mind, I am still too young. When I grow a little bit older, I will definitely be able to change from "cute" to "handsome". And anyway, she is beautiful, so it's okay.

Astr looked back angrily, thinking so firmly.

By the way, ignoring the suppressed laughter of Instructor Byron above his head,

Just like a salute of attention, as Astr drove towards the podium, everyone's heads moved together. Finally, it fell on Rafeal Louis, the freshman representative, whose speech was interrupted.

'There is a good show to watch.' The students thought secretly.

Everyone knows that Rafeal and Astr are not only at odds with each other but are even hostile.

Anticipating the collision between this rising star of the empire and the eternal rotating planet, everyone watched with excitement, as if they were anticipating a captivating show.

However, some people who had found out the news in advance frowned and had a premonition that a storm was coming.
