I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 115 Comments]

[Adam_Balch_7324: Seems like the old carrot and stick method has caused a bit of panic]

Theo couldn't help but smile after looking at the comment. "I guess? Well, I'm just playing with them, so it's not a big deal. In fact, they will definitely be more creative and more prepared."

After replying to the comment, he finally turned back to the document he was reading. The document actually came from the Helvenia Kingdom, regarding what happened during his visit.

The Helvenia Kingdom expressed their gratitude to Theo for helping them solve one of the biggest problems in their kingdom.

They apologized for not being able to greet him properly because of those things, especially with the fact that Theo and Aurora were forced to leave the ship because of the ambush.

There wasn't much detail regarding the event itself. Most likely, they only wanted Aurora to know about it, not Theo. However, they still reminded him to explain the status of his spirit to Aurora soon.

At the same time, they also listed the reward for his contribution. Considering he had defeated Jeff, protected Aurora, and even destroyed the affected army, the reward was massive.

"The Helvenia Kingdom is so generous…" Theo smirked. "Two million Otherworld credits, two artifacts, a book about spirits, a few rare materials, and even protection. They're really going all out."

And it was only the reward, not the compensation from the attack, when they were the ones who invited him.

"As for the compensation, they offered five hundred thousand Otherworld Credits, an artifact, as well as a vacation in the mega resort called Blooming Peak." Theo muttered, calculating the numberits of things he received from them.

Each world had their own currency, which would be hard to trade with other worlds. Hence, the leaders of all worlds had agreed to create a new currency that could be exchanged with their own currency. This would make the transaction even more convenient and faster.

"My salary from being a teacher is about one hundred thousand Otherworld Credits per month. And this kind of number was already extremely high as a thousand credits per month was the current rate of the apartment I'm currently living in.

"Since we have to protect the people from all worlds, I guess that's to be expected." Theo turned to the three artifacts that were given to him.

The first artifact was a ring. There was a piece of paper attached to this ring, so he picked it up and realized it was the instruction.

'This ring will give you the Wood Affinity. It has been stored inside a trunk for over a thousand years, absorbing the energy of a single tree. By wearing this ring, you are able to feel the flowing energy from the trees around.'

"Well…" Theo was a bit surprised by the first artifact. Since the elves had a very long life, he thought that a one-thousand years old ring wouldn't be that much of a deal.

But he was quite curious about its power. What kind of benefits would feeling the tree's energy bring him?

When Theo thought about it, he ended up brushing the matter off as it might be useful later. He just hadn't found the use of it yet.

He then turned to the second artifact, which was, surprisingly, a pair of butterfly hairpins.

'This is the Twin Butterfly Hairpin. They come from a pair of butterflies that have been stuck together for a hundred years. The pollen is gathered for a hundred years until it can be shaped into a hairpin. Pouring the essence would allow the wearer to release a special pollen that can remain in the air for more than a week.'

"This is rather interesting. In fact, all these artifacts seem to have a weird effect. Don't tell me, Aurora told them something about me. Maybe she told me that I'm a weird person who loves unusual power? Or was it Christina who told them about my identity? Either way, it's quite unusual, which means the enemies wouldn't expect this kind of power."

Theo thought this pair of hairpins would suit Mia's playful nature. Just thinking about how his daughter looked with these hairpins made him smile.

"Then the third one…"

The last artifact he received was a pair of gloves. The gloves were made of thin black wool. It didn't look durable at first, but he noticed a peculiar flow of essence around the gloves.

He then looked at the description of the gloves.

'This is the Repelling Gloves. It's known to be so unsuitable with the essence that it would push any essence away.'

"The last one is rather simple but powerful. On the one hand, wearing these gloves wouldn't allow you to release your essence from your hands. On the other hand, the gloves were able to deflect essence."

Theo tried pouring a lot of essence into the gloves, but it couldn't pass through. The essence was simply dispersed in all directions as though there was a perfect insulator for the essence.

"This is quite interesting. Then again, both Mia and I are still conjuring our power through our hands. Maybe, my dear wife?" Theo tried to recall the information about his wife.

"She should have a Fox Demon. Its ability is mainly about foxes and charm. Most of her power would be released through her eyes, so I guess she can use it. The design of these gloves is ugly though, but whatever." Theo shrugged. It would definitely be a perfect gift when he returned to the Demon Realm.

He didn't know why but it felt like the Helvenia Kingdom was giving him an unusual artifact that somehow matched his family. He believed they had done a background check on him and sent all these artifacts.

"Either way, I've received it, so yeah." Theo shrugged and moved on to the next reward. "I will definitely read the book later since I'm curious about the spirits and want to utilize them better. As for the rare materials…" Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

Theo didn't know much about rare materials. Even if he had one, he would just give it to someone else to turn it into something useful.

Each material had a description of its unique characteristic, but he didn't see anything useful to improve his power.

In the end, he stored them, hoping that there would be a chance to use them. He wanted to sell them first, but he still chose to keep them, thinking there might be a time he needed them. In any case, with the two and a half million Otherworld Credit, he wasn't that desperate for money.

"And the rest are guaranteed protection and VIP status when visiting the Helvenia Kingdom… It's good, but I don't know when I will visit this place again. On the other hand, this resort…"

Theo didn't know about the resort, so he had to check in online.

"Interesting. The resort is built on Crushyxa Mountain, which is said to have refreshing air and a dense essence. It's quite good for a vacation since everyone will benefit from it, but I don't think they will have a lot of time to play because the author will definitely play a trick there. Nonetheless, it's a good place."

With a simple search and the guarantee of the Helvenia Kingdom, he didn't mind spending his vacation with the rest of the students in this place.

After setting up the schedule and informing it through the letter, he continued with his jobs.

Meanwhile, the students were busy preparing for their exams.

Of course, they were trying their best to study all the materials, but they were still scared of the difficulty of the exams.

That was why they had prepared a second plan, which was to cheat.

Theo didn't say anything about cheating, so it meant that he didn't mind if they were cheating.

At the same time, they wondered if it was alright to cheat. On the one hand, Theo had always encouraged them to do creative things because the world was unfair and cruel. On the other hand, Theo beat them up whenever he had an opportunity.

Nonetheless, it didn't stop them from preparing it.

In the library, Mia was actually staring at a yarn in front of her. She waved her finger a little and the yarn actually turned into a small teddy bear. There were a lot of things she could do with this bear and Theo definitely wouldn't see it coming, she thought.

Maya was working on a small lens. After it was done, she tried to put it on as a small notification appeared. This notification could only be seen by the eye that wore the contact lens, not anyone around her.

The others were also preparing for their own tricks that wouldn't lose to those two.

The atmosphere around the school began to tense as the students also had some anxiety about tackling the exams. They didn't know whether they could pass or not.

And it was said that the exams would be watched by the board members. The board members consisted of a lot of powerful people from each world, so if the students were to be found lacking, they might not have a future in their own world.

The students had to do their best if they wanted to show off their power, hoping that these powerful people would take an interest in them. Obviously, these board members were the reasons why the academy could be established.

Of course, some of them didn't really care because their status was already high. The only motivation they had was to maintain their image as bearers of that status.

Finally, three weeks had passed since Theo returned to the Modern Realm. And the midterm exam was about to begin.
