God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 123: Headaches



"What do you mean by that?" Nolan asked with a furrowed eyebrow as he turned his gaze back to Gaia, who smiled devilishly at him.

"You said because you've lost your memories, and therefore any semblance of love for your background, you think you can go scot-free."

"How naive are you?"

"Your people killed hundreds of incredibly powerful celestial heirs, destroyed entire factions, who now all want nothing but to seek revenge against the one who killed their father or mother or their entire clan."

"What do you think will happen once they learn of the fact that you're a descendant of the one who brought them their pain?"

"Do you think they will simply let you go scot-free because you have decided, in your mind, that you don't care for your background anymore?"

"What stops your clan's enemies from coming back for your head or haven't you heard of the word "revenge" before."

"They'll even fight to the death to own a piece of you once they find you out!"

Gaia said as Nolan's eyes shook, and his eyebrows twitched repeatedly.

"Tell me something!" He said seriously as he arrived before Gaia.

"How many people know of my 'true background?'"

"Many!" She said to him, causing his eyes to narrow dangerously.

"But only a single more person or two know of your background, while being in the academy!"

"And they'll be coming for your head soon."

"Why do you think I warned you before in the first place?" Gaia asked him with a raised eyebrow as Nolan's eyes flashed.

He had thought when she had warned him previously, she meant the fact that Quinn was after his life.

After Nolan had gotten rid of Quinn, he thought he was now safe.

But who would have thought the warning she gave him wasn't about Quinn at all?

Instead, it was about the peopl seeking revenge due to his past origin problem, and it was nothing but shocking to Nolan.

He simply stared back at Gaia for a while, who also kept looking at him with her innocent expression.

Right now, a single thought was running in Nolan's head, and that was the fact of how she had known he belonged to that background.

And if she was the one who delivered him up to those people.

But it seemed like a useless question, and even more hurtful if Gaia had been doing nothing but genuinely trying to help him.

"And to repeat my earlier question. What is your position in all of this..."

"Is your clan one of those factions that 'my people' destroyed? And all you want all this while is revenge?" Nolan asked with furrowed eyebrows as Gaia regained her playful nature, but Nolan found it nothing but irritating now.

"No, my clan is a former ally of your clan. And you could even say my clan owed yours one."

"But I guess that's no longer relevant anymore, though, since I have also repaid the favor by also doing you a favor and maybe even automatically saving your life and helping you cease your headaches..." Gaia said to him with a cunningly devilish smile.

[Congratulations, Quest: Find the background of the green hair with a strange bloodline has been completed.

Rewards:

1. +2 Level Up Cards

2. +3000 EXP]

The system notification panel flashed before Nolan's eyes, who also smiled within his heart.

"That's two level-up cards and 3000 EXP. It's a worthy exchange," he thought to himself.

"Well, if that's all, I would be leaving. After all, I don't want to get shown the horror of a man, after all..."

Gaia said, winking at him as she hopped down from the side of his bed and moved out of his dorm room before snapping the door shut.

[You now have two thing from this little conversation.]

[One, a shitty headache that comes from your shitty background.]

[Second, additional level-up cards and EXP! Pretty good, huh?]

The system said to Nolan, whose eyes narrowed.

He had no idea if Gaia was lying or telling the truth, but irrespective of whether she was lying or not, he would be the only one who would be harmed.

He didn't even know who the people he was facing were, and it seemed moving out of the academy would do nothing but bring him his death.

At least in the academy, he knows he only had two enemies hiding in the shadows.

[Hmm, are you thinking what I'm thinking?] The system suddenly asked him as Nolan raised an eyebrow.

"What are you thinking?"

[You remember me saying that it is weird that the academy has not put chains on your neck even though you possess such an incredibly useful ability?]

"Yeah?" Nolan asked as the system remained silent and finally, a light flashed in his eyes as he pieced everything together.

"Could it be the reason why the academy refused to touch or bother to look at my side is because of...."

[Your Headache Inducing Background.]

[If your background is really as Gaia described and they were banished from the higher realms, killed hundreds of factions in this lower realm, and even ended up killing Celestial Heirs,]

[If they have a descendant, I'm not sure anyone who had no bad history with the background will want to try to put them down at all.]

[And I don't think the academy involves itself at all in factions' fights.]

[So if the academy is ignoring you, it's probably because they are aware of your background and they might fear stepping into the muddy water of factions and your horrific background.]

[So they simply decided to ignore you.]

[Watching you rot away into nothingness until you eventually fade away into oblivion.]

[That is my most likely guess as to why you're ignored by the academy.]

The system reasoned, and Nolan couldn't refute it.

'Tch, it better not be true. I already have so much headache to deal with! I don't have the time to focus on a background with which I have zero relation...' Nolan said with an irritated expression.

Of course, he wasn't the Nolan that everyone knew.

He was from Earth!

What has he got to do with the headache of a now-dead boy, whose body he inherited?
