Chapter 63: The seer
As the Dean appeared in his office...which wasn't really an office but an entire realm on it's own that was even bigger that the secret realm the students had to survive for twenty four hours.
To fit such expansive space into a small sized office space like another layer of space is something only those at the peak of the world and having heaven defying space element talent and control could create.
The Dean's fake office was the ordinary room that looked no different than that of an office worker but with bigger space.
The real office is the realm which he always stays in which only a permitted few could step into at any time without permission.
Even while still being in his real office (the secret realm) he could still see and hear everything happening within the Academic domain if he sole wanted.
The Dean sat on a seat as his tapped the armrest in thought rhythmically.
A portal opened up as the the Vice president walked out of it with a majestic gait as her hair was still floating like they were really dancing to the sound of the wind this time.
She walked up to the Dean and sat opposite him as she just looked at him, as he was lost in thought.
After a few moments, she asked
"Are you thinking about those human children"
The Dean looked at her without saying anything and with an expressionless face but it was clear what he was thinking at the time.
"There is simply no need to think too much about it, I just have to gather information about it and that's all" the Dean said as he shook his head, then he called out to an empty space.
"Aiden"
A shadow suddenly came out from nowhere, before it took the shape of a man but the face was concealed.
"Get me all current information about rank two to rank eleven while they were in the Academy and what they did when they left for the one month break" the Dean said.
"As the Sovereign wishes" then Aiden disappeared and went on his job.
The Dean and Vice president didn't have to wait much, as in ten minutes twenty files were brought back by Aiden as he laid them on the table.
Two files on each other of them was brought back by him.
One was before the one month break, the second was after the one month break.
The Dean and Vice president read them all in seconds and dropped back the file.
"So they were bottom rankers during the entire six months" The Dean said
"They took missions, bought resources with points and were barely at the D- rank at that point in time" the Vice president followed up.
"Then they suddenly disappear together for one to two weeks each, and came back more powerful on the day of the Academy, even more beautiful than you I must say" The Dean said as he smirked at the Vice president.
The vice president turned to Aiden and asked
"Did you find out what happened in that time period they disappeared, where did they go to, what happened on the day they disappeared and all that"
"There is no information about this your highness, apologies for my inability" Aiden said as he bowed.
"All ten of them happen to be orphans also" the Dean said.
"You may leave Aiden" The Dean's voice sounded again, Aiden then disappeared without speaking at all.
"It seems we can only meet him and ask for what happened in that time period" The Vice president said as she looked at the Dean.
"It seems we would have to trouble him again" the Dean replied.
"Don't talk like we disturb him every day or something, he just sits down and enjoys, we pay him for nothing, he should put in more work instead of lazing around". The vice president said with a sneer.
The Dean just shook his head and didn't reply.
The Dean and Vice president stood up together from their seat as the Vice president opened up a portal leading to an unknown place and they both stepped into it, then then portal closed behind them.
...
In another location, a man could be seen sitting down eating a bag of chips with many more lying around him.
Anyone who simply saw him now would instantly know he was a foodie, but the man always denied it as he never even had a fat body or anything.
He was lean, with good muscle tone, 6'9 in height, with a flawless skin that didn't even represent what he ate.
He had a black bandage that covered his eyes that matched his black hair, as he just sat there without a care in the world.
Suddenly a frown appeared on the man's face.
"I wonder what they want now...tskk...tskk... always disturbing my free time, I even work more than slaves at this point, they should just put me in chains and make it clear" the man said as he clicked his tongue.
He stood up from his seat and started arranging everything as everywhere was really messy from everything he ate and will be eaten in the future.
Miraculously he could even see while blindfolded, as he picked up everything without tapping around or guessing and avoided anything he would have collided with.
He set up two more chairs, as he brought out two cups of juice and just kept them infront of each seat.
Then he sat down as he was done arranging everything he needed, while sipping another juice from another cup.
Three seconds after he sat down, space quaked as a portal opened up as two people came out, a man and a woman stepped out of the portal and appeared infront of the blindfolded man.
They didn't say anything as they just sat down on the two seats that were already provided and drank the juice given.
They were the Dean and Vice president.
"It's nice seeing you two" the man said smiling
"Cut the crap seer, we know you don't like seeing us and even curse before we arrive" The Dean said as he dropped his cup on the table.
"I don't even know why you are complaining that you work too much like you are a slave, when you literally do nothing all year round, you just stay here and eat junks, I wonder how you aren't fat as you alone have saved some companies from bankruptcy through sheer eating alone" the vice president said.
"Maybe we should really put him in chains since he sees himself as a slave, like that his wishes would become true then" the Dean said with a smile.
"The last time we even required your service was twenty years ago, since then you haven't even moved from this place or even spoken to anyone, yet you say you work like a slave" the vice president said.
The man was called 'Seer' because of his ability to see things about the past and certain things about the future.
He is a human, who was born blind.....well more like without eye balls in his eye sockets, so his eye sockets were literally empty, yet he could see more than most, how ironic.
The seer sighed as these two just kept complaining, to him who could see between present, past and future, twenty years was no different than yesterday.
"Can you both just stop and tell me what you want already, I am a busy man you know"
"Don't you already know, just tell us the answer we want already" the vice president said.
"If I was all knowing, would I be wasting my time in a place like the Academy" the seer said.
The Dean tossed him the files to read on his own without explaining anything.
The seer picked them up from the table and read them even though he couldn't see.
"I see, sure then I would help check and find out, come back next week I would have your answers by then"
"Stop trying to brush off work seer, why are you so lazy, just take a look and inform us what you see" The Dean said.
The seer took off the bandages on his eyes as his revealed his empty eye sockets, then he closed his eyes....well his eye sockets.
Then he opened his eyelid as his eye sockets glowed white with high intensity.
After a few minutes the white light disappeared as the seer put back on his bandages.
"Well, they aren't in with the demons or anything of the sort" he said.
"Just tell us what you saw" the Vice president said.
The seer just took out memory crystals from space rings and transferred what he saw into them and threw them to the Dean and Vice president as he was too lazy to speak.
They both placed the memory crystals on their glabella as images flowed into their minds with speed, and after a few seconds they were done already.
"I see, so that's what happened" Dean said.
"No wonder they all came back stronger like that" the vice president said
"They all got an inheritance from olden eras, while acquiring physique and bloodline from them, then trained in a time dilation realm"
"But we don't know the people they got the inheritance from or what physique or bloodline they got"
"It's not like we can force them to tell us"
"The inheritance site also closed up and disappeared after it was taken"
"But ten humans at the same time is too much, what is happening"
"Other races haven't received an inheritance at all though"
The Dean and Vice president conversed between themselves.
The Dean turned to the seer and asked
"Can you find out who those Ten power houses from olden eras are?"
"I don't want to court death please, I tried to see who they were but I was caught and blocked off so I couldn't see any of them" the seer said
"You were caught, that's a first" The Vice president said
"Yeah, it's a first for me too, someone that can even catch me as I stare into the past is no small matter, they were even able to block me, meaning they could attack me from the past into the future, which is the now the present, someone who can attack across timeline isn't a small matter, and there are ten of them" the seer said as he frowned.
The Dean and Vice president fell into deep thoughts, as people who could attack through timelines were simply too strong.
Even both of them weren't sure if they could attack across timelines as they never tried.
Only Null Michael was rumoured to possess such capabilities as it is said he could slash through time and space if he wanted, but none of that has been confirmed.
"What if you look into their future and see what it holds then" the vice president said
"I almost died from the past, now you want me to die from the future, you really do hate me don't you" the seer said.
"Just give it a try seer" The Dean said
"Sure I will, you better not come for a millennium after this" the seer said.
Then he removed his bandages again and closed his eyelid, then opened it back as his eye sockets glowed golden this time.
The golden light calmed down after a while as blood flowed out his eye sockets, ears, nostrils, he even coughed up blood.
Both the Dean and Vice president immediately stood up and their aura flared up instantly.
"What happened" the vice president asked
The seer cleaned up the blood and put back the bandage and drank a potion he took out from his space rings.
"What happened seer" The Dean asked.
After a few minutes, the seer said
"I received a backlash"
"How is that possible" the vice president said.
"Did you see anything" The Dean asked.
"I don't know how it is possible, it could be that I was attacked from the future just like it could have been done from the past"
"Also I didn't see anything this time around, all I can say is that somethings aren't meant to be touched, or spied on" the seer said in a stern tone
"Also, don't bring any matter concerning the ten of them to me again, also your concerns about any power being at play behind the scenes is non-existent, I feel fate and destiny is just helping the ten of them, so no need to suspect them, just train them as they could be useful in the future" said the seer again
The seer took out another memory crystal from his space ring and threw it to the Dean and said
"Don't try to use it untill it glows golden and starts vibrating" the seer said
"Why are you giving me this" the Dean asked
"Well I forgot to give it to you twenty years ago when you both came, now you are here again, I can give it to you" the seer said
"So you were meant to give this to me twenty years ago and you forgot because of your laziness" the Dean said.
"It's not like you would have needed it then, so it doesn't matter, don't try looking for what is inside as you won't see it, when it unseals itself you will know" the seer said.
"You may leave, there are somethings I have to take care of after the blacklash".
The Dean and Vice president nodded their heads, then they left just like how they came.
As soon as they left, the seer sighed and brought out his food to continue eating while he was lost in thought.
