Chapter 128: Glorious reward
As everyone was in uproar due to the news, Anthony was having a talk with his father oblivious to the commotion he had caused amongst the upper authority of the Academy.
"When are you leaving"
Michael asked in a sad tone as he didn't get his son to graduate early.
But at the same time he understood what his son meant, as a child Anthony should enjoy somethings before he doesn't have time to enjoy them anymore.
"Today...soon"
Anthony replied with a smile as he could feel his father emotions through his All seeing eyes, but he won't relent.
The door behind them opened as Mitchelle walked in.
"Do you want us to drop you off"
Mitchelle asked immediately she walked in.
Of course she heard the entire conversation from wherever she was.
Unlike her husband, he didn't want her baby to be introduced so early to the bitterness and cruelty of the world.
"Although I would still love to spend time with the both of you, but Meek has announced that the mission has been completed so I have to go back immediately"
"Besides, if I arrive with the both of you it would seem like you completed the mission instead of me"
Anthony replied his mother as he acknowledged her presence.
"Well...that's true"
His mother replied.
"Too bad I didn't get to battle you before you leave for the Academy"
Michael said still not giving up on clashing with Anthony.
Anthony didn't bother replying this mad man and just shook his head.
He then stood up from his seat as he sighed.
"Are you leaving already?"
Mitchelle asked as she was already missing her precious son.
"Yes mom, we would see each other again soon enough"
Anthony replied her as he jumped out the window of his room then stayed afloat outside as he looked at his parents for one last time.
His mother waved him goodbye, as for his father, he didn't bother and just looked at Anthony as he floated.
Anthony simply nodded at them before he shot up far into the sky as he left for the Academy.
Everyone going about their daily activity came to a halt as they watched Anthony fly at an incredible speed in the skies and they all bowed even though Anthony wasn't looking at them to acknowledge their devotion.
As Anthony flew he thought back to his recent mission and everything and smiled.
Although there wasn't any really interesting fight to stimulate any emotion from him, he had some fun as he interacted with new people and the women that flirted with him.
Anthony loved these moments, he looked forward to more women....adventure.
THREE HOURS LATER
Anthony arrived at the Academy domain as he arrived rather late as he flew here slowly.
Anthony shot across the horizon as he approached the Academy gates.
He landed on the ground steadily as his F rank aura returned and remained unchanged.
He walked in with a steady pace that wasn't fast nor slow.
Those that saw Anthony arrive were shocked to the core.
'He has returned'
This sentence buzzed in everyone's minds as they stared at Anthony like a ghost.
Anthony didn't speak to anyone or greet anyone as he wasn't friends or anything with them to even initiate a conversation.
He simply just went straight to the mission hall without stopping once.
There wasn't a reason to stop.
He walked straight to the mission hall.
As soon as Anthony stepped foot into the mission hall and people laid eyes on him, they paused in their movements.
They were about to witness history before their very eyes.
They already witnessed history by Anthony returning alive.
This alone shook a lot of people to stupor.
Many were speechless, they all anticipated Anthony's death.
A lot of them already prepared articles they were going to release and make money from it and saved such articles in their devices.
They just waited for the death confirmation to begin their plans.
But Anthony's presence rendered it all useless.
Although hundreds of eyes stared at Anthony, he was never one to falter under anyone's gaze.
Not even his parents battle intent could move him let alone these children.
His stride still as unwavering as he approached a clerk who was lost in her own world.
The clerk was the same one who issued the mission.
She still had her nose buried on her keyboard and screen.
She didn't even notice when Anthony arrived in front of her.
Anthony already saw this scene once when he picked a mission, so he wasn't surprised.
He stood here and looked at her for a while before he said.
"You are still as busy as ever"
She stopped in her tracks as she lifted her head in shock immediately she heard the voice.
She recognised the voice as there was no way she would just forget the voice of the most handsome person she has ever met in her life.
She was too dumbfounded to reply Anthony the next second.
Then she calmed down and said with a smile.
"At least you came back alive"
She didn't entertain the idea that Anthony came back alive and completed the mission at the same time.
She just believed he returned alive after running away or something similar.
Anthony smiled at her response.
Clearly, she misunderstood but he won't bother correcting her.
She collect the slip from Anthony which she gave him before he departed.
Then logged into the mission site to stamp Anthony's returned.
But immediately she opened the mission page and went to Anthony's profile she felt the shock of her life.
Her eyes trembled for a few seconds as she mumbled.
"Impossible"
This was the only thing she could say at such sight displayed by the screen.
Under Anthony's mission profile, the impossible mission was tagged with the word
'COMPLETED'
The Academy kept a mission profile on every student that kept some details such as;
Mission taken.
Time of completion.
Difficulty of the mission.
Duration.
The Academy took note of many things.
Anthony's page held only one mission on it.
But that single completed mission put every single mission anyone has ever completed, no matter the number to shame.
As the clerk stamped his time of arrival, Anthony's wrist watch instantly beeped as a hundred million Academy point was instantly credited to him.
As Anthony was about to turn to leave as the clerk was still in disbelief, he suddenly stopped as his wrist watched vibrated twice.
The first vibration was another sum of thirty million Academy points appearing in his account out of nowhere and no apparent reason.
The second being something he didn't expect as everyone recieved it at same time as him, and the reason for the thirty million Academy points.
Suddenly every student and personnel that worked in the Academy received a notification from the Academy website directly on their Academy wrist watch as an Academy wide announcement was made. Dive into stories on NovelFire,mpyr.
