World Of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!
/ World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 126 – New Task
“Locke! Is That You?”
“Son, I'm here!”
The commotion upstairs was very loud. The bearded man and his wife's first thought was that their child had come to save them.
After making a turn at the corner, Locke reached a large prison cell that was filled with several people.
He studied the sturdy prison door before him.
“Child, that iron door is very heavy. It needs a key…”
Locke gripped the prison bars with his hands. In a seemingly effortless move, Locke had torn open the prison door!
Everyone was shocked by Locke's astonishing strength!
After returning to the ground floor and taking a look at the mess in the police station, the other civilians who were confined together with Locke's parents asked,” How did you two nurture such a wonderful child?”
“The disappointment of my family is still stuck in the academy's Bronze Class…”
“Big Beardy, would you and your family like to have a meal with us tomorrow…”
“Can Locke take me as his disciple?”
At this moment, Locke's parents were extremely satisfied!
In truth, they had not realized how powerful Locke had become.
“Mom and dad, I'm sorry that you had to suffer because of me…” Locke blamed himself. He thought that they were caught in this mess due to his actions.
Although Locke was a transmigrated soul, his feelings were sincere.
Fortunately, his parents were unharmed. Otherwise, Locke would have wrought even greater destruction to the area.
Meanwhile, the civilians admired his righteous actions.
The civilians personally escorted the family of three home.
The police officers who had come to back up their colleagues immediately hid in the nearby alleys once they saw the sea of civilians. Their numbers were too huge for them to deal with.
Upon stepping into their house, Locke's mother said worriedly, “Now that the governor is dead, will there be any trouble…”
Even the usually open-minded big beardy frowned. “Yes, Locke has violated the laws of the Federation after all…”
Locke had already given much thought to the matter.
The turmoil in the Holy City was caused by the Frank family's actions. They were the ones who broke the law first. Locke and the others were only defending themselves. As such, the federal court had no grounds to pursue them.
Locke immediately voiced out his thoughts, and with that, an expression of relief washed over his parents' faces.
The bearded man took a sip of the red wine that Adelaide had given him and said, “Our son is right! I think that society is getting more and more ridiculous! These nobles are too lawless. I don't know what his Majesty the Emperor is thinking. How could he give power to these unruly and malicious people?!”
“If they continue to go after Locke, we might as well drop him out of the academy! It doesn't matter where as long as we're together!”
Locke smiled. He appreciated his father's magnanimity.
“Sigh, this discussion is beyond me? I'll let you two decide! I'm going to whip up a meal now. I just bought some Fire Fox meat yesterday Its one of Locke's favorites!!”
The family of three had just returned to their previous cheerful chatter, when suddenly, they heard a knock on their door.
Lil' White pushed the door open and to Locke's surprise, the visitor was Tristan.
“Locke, I heard that you caused a big incident just now. Is that true?” Tristan asked with a smile.
Diana, who was beside Tristan, blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “I wasn't able to get through to your phone. The principal told us to come get you. He has something to discuss with you.”
“Please, I'm just a student. Why does that old man have to call me for everything…” Locke scratched his head and asked helplessly.
However, when he thought about how the old man had never played by the rules, Locke wondered whether the old man had some surprises in store for him.
'What if he intends to award my performance by giving me a new cultivation technique?'
Once the possibility that he could improve his strength crossed his mind, Locke no longer hesitated. After saying goodbye to his parents, he immediately headed out together with Tristan and Diana.
The Federal Academy was in ruins.
Countless tents had been erected.
Under the lead of the two directors, Locke soon arrived at a desolate hill.
Hobrick had specially cleared out a space to bury the instructors and students who had perished in the attack.
After taking a bow, Hobrick then looked at the three of them and said, “This incident has already spread throughout the entire city. Joey has gone all out this time. As such, I reckon that there won't be any experts left in the Frank family's coffers. The federal court should be able to control them. However, I believe that this matter will also soon spread throughout the continent. The major television stations have already contacted us, and it seems that the public's opinion is in our favor…”
After a brief pause, Hobrick then switched glances between Tristan and Diana and said, “Tristan, you will be responsible for informing the families of the instructors and students who have died. The compensations will be put under the academy's tab for now. It will take some time before we receive the Frank family's compensation fees, after all. As for you, Diana, you're in charge of the medical instructors. Make sure to console the students as well while treating them. John has already contacted some construction companies. We need to restore the campus as soon as possible. We're short on manpower at the moment, so I'm sorry for piling these tasks on you two. Also… ”
Locke was impressed by Principal Hobrick's actions.
Although he was usually very stingy and narrow-minded, he was very willing to compensate the families of the instructors and students who had died.
After confirming their duties, the two directors went about their own business.
“Come with me…” As there was no one else around them, Locke knew that the old man was talking to him.
After entering a slightly larger tent, Hobrick took out a letter from a damaged drawer and handed it to Locke.
After reading it, Locke asked, “Is this what you told me before… The Three Academies' Martial Arts Display?”
Hobbrick nodded. “Yes, it will begin in three weeks. This time, it will take place in Gold City. Each academy will send a team of three students, and you will be the captain of the team…”
Locke suddenly remembered Hobrick's conditions from before and asked, “Will I be able to enter the Divine Class if I get first place? Will I be receiving personal tutelage from you?”
Hobrick smiled and answered, “Yes, the deal is still in place! That is, as long as you obtain first place.”
“Then it's settled. When that time comes, you better not hide any knowledge from me!” Locke was looking forward to that day. Although the theoretical classes in the Diamond Class was very good, Locke was no longer able to absorb anything useful. In order to become stronger, he needed more knowledge.
He believed that the knowledge that was taught in the Divine Class would definitely satisfy him.
In truth, however, Locke had already become too strong for the Diamond Class, and he had not realized it just yet.
“I promise you, I will not hold anything back…”
After receiving Hobrick's guarantee, Locke returned home to eat. He was famished!
Hobrick muttered softly while watching Locke's receding figure, “Silly boy, there's not much I can teach you. The main duty of Divine Class students isn't to study…”
