Handsome?
Henry only knew that at this moment, he remained unflinching even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, and unmoved even if an elk appeared by his side.
He calmly put his hand down, then walked past Sidney, and finally returned to the ranks.
As if he had done something trivial.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Henry, their mouths agape.
Luning stared at Henry’s figure, cold sweat involuntarily breaking out on his forehead.
He had to admit, Henry’s move was truly frightening.
First, none of them knew where these flying swords had come from.
Second, even if someone who knew how to control objects was manipulating these flying swords, they might not necessarily be able to accomplish this.
The main issue was the sheer number of flying swords Henry controlled.
This quantity was simply abnormal!
Henry was also surprised.
Since absorbing the spiritual energy, he hadn’t tested what his Sword Control Technique would become.
He had thought he could control multiple flying swords, but he never expected them to be as numerous as locusts.
Soon, several teachers hurried over.
“What’s going on? Why did all the swords from the armory fly out!”
“I clearly saw them heading this way.”
They reached Sidney’s side and quickly noticed the dummy on the ground, impaled with swords.
They recognized that the dummy was probably Sidney’s summoned creature, and this lesson should be testing the students’ magical intensity.
But why were there so many swords flying out?
“Teacher Sidney, what is the meaning of this? If you need this many weapons, you must report it to me first.”
The teacher in charge of the armory had a displeased expression.
With so many swords flown out, cleaning up later would be troublesome.
But Sidney hemmed and hawed, not knowing how to explain this bizarre phenomenon.
Could he say he hadn’t detected any magical fluctuations from Henry at all?
Was this how Henry defeated Luning?
Forgive him for saying so, but if the current Luning were to face Henry, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
Sidney finally accepted this fact.
The Family Head had misjudged. If Henry could be brought back to the Rumelter family, it would benefit the entire clan.
Sidney decided that after class today, he would report this to the Family Head.
He also planned to discuss this matter with Henry after class.
He thought that given Henry’s current situation, if offered a chance to return to the Rumelter family, he should gladly accept.
After all, without that family name, it would be quite difficult for Henry to survive in the Imperial Capital.
This world wasn’t just about strength, and Henry’s strength hadn’t reached the point where he could change his status.
“I didn’t expect Henry to cause such a commotion either. The key point is that I didn’t detect any magical fluctuations from him.”
Sidney looked at Henry, who stood within the crowd, appearing rather inconspicuous.
The armory teacher narrowed his eyes, then said doubtfully, “This… are you telling the truth? So the rumor that this student can manipulate abilities other than magic is true?”
Henry’s eyelids twitched.
He hadn’t expected someone to uncover the truth so quickly.
Now he had to worry about whether he would be treated as a lab rat for research.
“This is someone personally enrolled by Professor Reina and Principal Merlin.”
Sidney’s simple statement dispelled the teacher’s thoughts.
However, the teacher looked at Henry, feeling it was a great shame.
If he could research the secrets on Henry’s body, his status in the academy would probably rise a level.
But this was someone cared for by Professor Reina and the Principal; ordinary teachers like them wouldn’t dare touch such a person.
“Your Rumelter family is truly generous, letting such talent slip away.”
Before leaving, the teacher stepped right on Sidney’s sore spot.
If Henry were part of the Rumelter family, then he would have had a chance to study the secrets on Henry’s body.
“By the way, remember to return the weapons. This is your responsibility for not reporting it, Teacher Sidney.”
Sidney was furious but could do nothing about it.
He took a deep look at Henry, then announced the score.
“Henry, full marks!”
****
Henry’s matter spread throughout the entire school in just half a day.
Everyone knew that a bizarre genius had emerged in the first year.
The person who, months ago, was called a magicless good-for-nothing, who couldn’t even pass the assessment exam, now wielded a strange power and had defeated the currently popular Luning.
The public opinion about Henry quickly reversed.
As for Sidney wanting to talk to Henry about the Rumelter family matters?
He could only wish him good luck.
At the same time, the much-anticipated Henry was currently at home, refining pills.
“Add water first, then add the flowers and plants…”
He followed the system step by step, afraid of making a mistake in any step.
But more importantly, Lilith stood behind him, holding a vine whip in her hand, looking eager to try.
“Aren’t you going to make a mistake yet?”
Lilith raised her eyebrows and asked Henry, sounding very much like she was expecting him to err.
Henry looked up with a face full of exasperation, his expression unnatural.
“Can’t you wish me well? Didn’t you say you’d whip me if I made a mistake?”
“I just wanted to try what ‘whipping you’ means.”
“I don’t know how it feels for you, but it definitely hurts when it hits me! And also, I’m not a masochist!”
“Hmph, I wonder who always asks me to step on that certain place, with a comfortable expression on their face. So hard to guess~”
Lilith crossed her arms in front of her chest, her two ‘big killers’ threatening to burst through her clothes.
Henry had no mind to appreciate the “scenery.”
He was just one step away from successfully refining the pill.
“Finally, light the fire… Where are my matches?”
Henry searched for a long time but couldn’t find the matches, then turned to look at Lilith.
Lilith frowned slightly. Had she forgotten to buy matches for home?
Maybe, but she wouldn’t admit it.
“No way! I prepared the ingredients for so long, and now no matches!”
Henry felt like he was about to faint; he had to pinch the spot under his nose hard to stay conscious.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
A knocking sound came from the door.
Lilith seized the chance to leave the backyard to avoid Henry’s wrathful attack.
But when she opened the door, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
“Your Royal Highness, good afternoon. What brings you here?”
The words sounded polite, but Jessica couldn’t hear any welcome in them.
She had finally found time to visit Henry, only to find this annoying maid still by his side.
Especially those two large ‘fruits’ of hers—they must have Henry completely enthralled!
Jessica knew Henry’s lecherous nature all too well.
With such an offer delivered to his doorstep, would he refuse?
“You’re Lilith, right? What is Henry doing now?”
“He’s busy with something else. If there’s nothing important, please leave.”
Lilith tried to close the door, but Jessica blocked it with the door corner.
Jessica forced a strained smile, trying to keep her tone even.
“I’m here to see Henry, not you.”
The two women’s gazes met in the air, seeming to spark with electricity.
But Henry’s shout came from inside the house.
“Lilith, go buy me a box of matches, quick! I need fire!”
Hearing Henry’s voice, Jessica’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Henry, I’ll help you make fire!”
Lilith rolled her eyes imperceptibly and silently made way for Jessica to enter.
