Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 188 - 188: The Inevitable

Lucifer stepped closer to the old man and hugged him tightly before he looked at the guard. "I’m ready."

The Guard took Lucifer inside, opening the metallic door.

As for Grandpa Chi, he just stood where he was waving at Lucifer. A satisfied smile was on his face as he was happy that Lucifer was going to be successful.

He actually believed Lucifer to be his grandson by now and was delighted at his future prospects.

Lucifer also kept looking back and waving his hand; however, unlike Grandpa Chi, he looked sadder since he was leaving the old man and going to an unfamiliar place.

....

"You can never stop the inevitable."

Dark clouds were spread all over the sky while a red mist could be seen filling the atmosphere. The mist even seemed a bit like blood.

A strange winged creature was lying on the ground. The creature didn’t look the least bit like a human. Instead, he had eagle-like wings along with a body that was covered entirely in fur.

There was a hole in the chest of this creature, and six people were standing around him.

The six people seemed to be none other than Zale Azarel, Clarisse, Zeiss, Raia, Varant, and one more man who appeared to be a bit chubby.

Except for the chubby man who was looking at the strange creature, every other person was looking at the sky.

Seven strange stones were floating in the sky close to each other. Thunder was cracking everywhere, and it even seemed like spatial displacement was taking place around the stones.

As the stones got more and more in harmony, a portal started opening in the distance, albeit extremely slowly.

Through the portal, Zale and the others could see what seemed like eyes: one blue and one violet.

As the portal was so small, the face these eyes belonged to couldn’t be adequately seen, but the portal was only getting bigger, albeit exceptionally slowly.

"No!"

A scream suddenly filled the room as a man woke up from his dreams.

His eyes snapped open as he found himself covered in a cold sweat. His heart was pounding as he looked around the room suspiciously.

As the man woke up, he couldn’t help but sigh as he found himself in a familiar place, far away from that distant field where everything took place.

"That day doesn’t leave me even in my dreams. It’s all because of Varant. He just has to remind me about that event. Now that day comes in my nightmares too. That idiot," the man muttered as he got off the bed while rubbing his eyes.

He was only wearing pants and nothing else, revealing his chiseled body. Unfortunately, no one else was here to see him.

His entire body seemed to be covered in sweat even though the air-conditioner was on.

The man walked to the shower, closing the door behind him.

He had only turned on the shower when there was a knock on the door of his room. Unfortunately, the sound of the shower made him unable to hear the knocks.

Outside the man’s room, someone was standing, constantly knocking.

"Master Zeiss, are you inside? Master Varant is here to meet you!"

...

Lucifer was brought inside the Academy of the Gifted Variants. The doors of the academy were closed, making Lucifer unable to see his grandfather anymore.

" Young man, I’m sure you’re going to have a really good time here. This Academy is pretty fun," the guard started talking to Lucifer as he walked beside him. "But just remember, it’s also very strict. If you break a rule, you’ll be punished. So be careful, alright?"

"I’ll be careful. Grandpa Chi told me about this," Lucifer replied as he nodded his head.

"That’s better. Other than this, if you need any help or advice, you can always come to me, alright? I’ll be happy to help you," the guard further said, trying to get in Lucifer’s good books.

"I will. Thank you so much," Lucifer answered.

Lucifer was escorted to the hostel that was inside the academy itself.

The room which was assigned to him was already mentioned in the file which was with Lucifer now.

The hostel building was heavily guarded by Variants as young Variants of influential families lived there. Any kind of mishap to those Variants had far-reaching consequences here, so the academy kept high security.

"This is Alex Alaric. He will be staying here. His code is..."

The entrance guard informed the hostel guards as he showed them the file after taking it from Lucifer.

As they checked the files, the hostel guards nodded. "We’ll take it from here."

"Alright, young man, best of luck. Keep that file safe. I’ll inform the administration about your arrival," the entrance guard told Lucifer before he started leaving.

From here on, the hostel Guard escorted Lucifer and took him to his room.

"Room number ten, this will be where you stay. There are two more people who stay in this room. Accommodate with them and remember, no infighting in the hostel," the guard told Lucifer as he knocked on the door.

The door was soon opened by a boy that seemed to be just as old as Lucifer.

The green-haired boy did seem a bit chubby, though, but not in a bad way.

"Is this boy our roommate?" he asked the guard, understanding the matter.

"Yeah. Let him enter. And remember, treat him well," the guard told the green-haired boy before he stepped back.

The green-haired boy stepped aside and let Lucifer enter before he closed the door.

As Lucifer entered the room, he was able to see three beds. There were also three shelves as well, two of which were occupied.

"You can keep your bag on the third shelf. That’s for you. And the bed near that is yours. This is my bed, and that’s the bed of our third roommate. He’s still outside," the green-haired boy told Lucifer as he walked to the first bed and sat down.

Lucifer also walked to the third shelf and placed his bag and his file there before he walked to the third bed.

"I’m Jason. You?" the green-haired boy said.

"Alex," Lucifer answered, smiling.

"I’m sure you’re in the same batch as us. 24, right?" Jason inquired.

"Yeah," Lucifer answered.

"Which class are you in? B or C?" Jason further asked, curiously.

"They said I’m in A," Lucifer answered calmly. He didn’t understand the importance of Class.

Hearing Lucifer’s answer, the chubby man almost fell off the bed.

"A? Are you serious?" he asked Lucifer, shocked.
