Sam's arrival is one thing, but White's announcement of departure as soon as he heard about Sam, made everyone curious.

Particularly the seniors.

Sam frowned at the sudden decision of this unknown figure.

"Wait, do you know me?"

"Yes of course, everything you have right now. Everything you were given by the one backing you, was mine. You are living in my stolen glory and I came here to claim it back."

Sam frowned at these words.

His aura changed and he looked like he is ready to kill.

Pearl who watched this widened her eyes in disbelief. She would have taken White's words with a pinch of salt in a normal case. After all, she is not stupid enough to believe anyone's words.

But Sam's reaction is making her doubtful.

Sam spoke through his gritted teeth.

"What the fuck did you say just now?"

White turned around and looked at Sam before saying.

"You are using the stolen glory that should have belonged to me. I came to  this realm to claim it back. You and your backer, you know who, stole this from me and it was given to you. All you achievements, wealth, strength and everything else that you have from the clothes to your internal energy, everything is mine and mine alone and I am going to take it back."

Sam's aura raged and he is ready to attack. 

Pearl who saw this immediately reacted. She came forward along with her lackeys and stood in between Sam and White.

Her back is facing Sam and she looked at White.

"I am the representative of Zeus academy, I will give you the full freedom. Apart from satisfying the academic credit requirement for graduation and access the special missions, you will have full freedom. You can access all the training spaces and lectures as long as you meet the cultivation requirement.

All the cultivation resources, weapons, medicinal resources, exploration rights, mission priorities everything that you need for your growth will be provided by the Zeus academy. If you pass a test, you can be under the personal tutelage of the Dean too.

I assure you, that you will not get an offer such as this from any of the other academies.

I hope you can join the Zeus academy."

Sam's frown deepened and his hostile aura still didn't subside.

He looked at Pearl who turned to give him a smug look.

White could sense the tension between the two and he clenched his fist before saying.

"I agree."

"Wait, White. What happened? I am sure we can resolve whatever issue you have with this guy. You said you would like to be here. Why would you change your mind just because some other guy. Your unique fighting style can only be perfected here."

Crow ran to White and asked.

For some reason, he is very adamant about having Crow with them.

Sam frowned even more. He didn't like what is happening. He came here with a plan and everyone could see that, and from the expression they felt like it is already upset.

White stopped moving and hesitated for a moment before saying.

"I am sorry Mr. Crow, but I am unable to keep that promise. I will never be able to breathe the same air as that person. He belongs to the lowest of the lows and I am really sorry that he joined your academy.

Even that special recommendation he got is part of my stolen glory. It is impossible for me to tolerate his existence. As for the details, I am afraid I can not give you any. This is all I can tell you right now. But one thing I can tell you, wherever he goes he will become a parasite that will destroy that ecosystem. 

I am sure, just by joining your academy, he might have already created some sort of trouble for you guys.

Please take care."

With that White turned around and walked. Pearl also left with him without giving him a chance to stop anymore.

The rest of the poachers were dumbfounded.

They immediately ran out to inform their respective academies.

Meanwhile, Crow and the seniors all turned to look at Sam who is still standing on the stage.

Sam looked at their eyes and took a deep breath before returning their cold gazes. He could sense the open hostility.

Crow walked to Sam and asked.

"What is the relationship between you and him? What happened?"

Sam disregarded him and looked at the Elder in charge of admission.

"I would like a tour please. Preferrably from someone who is worth their salt. Not some random loser who got his ass handed by a freshman in an admission test."

As soon as those words left his mouth, several gazes locked on him.

"What the fuck did you just say?"

One of the seniors who lost just spoke.

Sam looked at him and said.

"if you have a problem, come and make a move. Just take a swing and see what happens. Fucking amateurs. Not being able to knock out your opponent is one thing, losing in their hands? I didn't even join and I am already sick of you guys.

Don't bother me."

Sam's words are very aggressive. 

Elder who saw this, clapped his hands and an isolating formation appeared on the stage. As if on cue, some instructors took the liberty to end the spectatorship. All audience were being escorted away.

Crow's frown deepened and he asked.

"Just like he mentioned, you are being a carrier of trouble. You made enemies with every other academy and this is going to make our academy a target. They will all think that this was planned by the academy's higherups.

So, all the students will be subjected to the retribution of your actions."

Sam looked at him with the disdain apparent in his eyes.

"The very fact Gambler placed this academy in the middle of Olympian region is a provocation. He is meant to make every student in the academy, a target. But you guys are too wimpy to do anything of substance.

And now you are saying that I am bringing trouble?

Even if I am bringing it, so what? Who among you can fucking do anything about it?"

Sam turned around and looked at the Elder once again in askance.

The Elder sighed and ordered one of the dissatisfied students to take Sam to the dorm.

When one of the seniors was about to stop Sam out of anger, Crow stopped him.

"Brother, we cannot let him go like this. Look at this attitude? Does he really think he is all that just because he is best among his peers? How many geniuses have we seen until now? People more talented than him have more manners than him. We need to teach him a lesson."

"I won't deny it, but there is no need to dirty our hands by breaking the rules is there?"

"What do you mean?"

"The first session for every warrior and warrior-mage after they joined? Did you forget what it is?"

As soon as Crow mentioned it everyone realized what is awaiting them. They had a smile on their face.

The rest of the day went by without anything happening in the Gambler's academy.

But the Zeus academy is the opposite.

In the evening, the Dean is meeting with Pearl and White in his office.

"You promised him all those benefits without consulting me? They exceeded way past the agreed up on limits. I know I told you that you have some flexibility, but this is insanity."

"But Sir, this person is the only one that could help us neutralize Sam. Judging from what I saw, the whole Sam's situation is definitely a set up from the Gambler's academy."

The Dean sighed at this.

He knew that this is indeed related to the Gambler's academy. But he knew that it is not in the way Pearl thought.

It is mostly Sam's personal vendetta. But he is in a tricky situation where he cannot reveal a single thing about this.

He sighed and stayed silent. Then he looked at White with a frown. He knew what Sam is, but he didn't understand who White and why he is claiming that Sam stole everything from him.

"How do you know Sam?"

"I never met him personally. But the common link between Sam and I might be the same thing that you know about Sam and his background."

Pearl was a bit confused at his words, she turned to her grandfather to see his response for this, but he made sure to not reveal anything."

After a few seconds of silence, the old man finally spoke.

"Alright, since you are open to enter the academy, I have no reason stop you and Pearl already promised, there is no point in taking those words back. Let it be. You shall have all that you were promised.

Your classes will start from tomorrow."

Pearl and White just thanked him and left.
