Chapter 129 The Academy's response
The next day, Jake woke up early but he didn't go for his daily quest since the XP bar had increased and 10XP wouldn't help increase his XP so he stopped. Rather, he woke up early today because he planned to do something.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ever since that incident that happened in the tournament, security was now heavy around the academy and students weren't allowed to leave the academy like before.
There were at least 3 soldiers at the gate that had finally being rebuilt after the day the werewolves attacked and broke the gate off its hinges.
Jake quietly took his bath and slipped out of the room for the roof where he could see the academy in full view even though it was quite early and everywhere was somewhat dark, Jake could still see quite clearly.
What Jake planned to do was to monitor the soldiers schedule and see how their shift worked. The time was still 4am, Jake stayed up on the roof and could see the soldiers walking around the gate with their weapons beside them.
Then when it was 5am, three soldiers came and replaced the ones at the gate. Jake was still watching them intently trying to see any slip up in their security.
Jake watched until 6am, the soldiers did their shift again. This time, Jake noticed the slight delay in their shift.
"This is it, the delay, I will use it to my advantage." Jake mumbled as he stood up and left the roof.
"I plan on visiting the town this weekend and going on a hunt." Jake said as he finally left the roof.
Jake got to his dorm thirty minutes later and he could see his roommates are all ready for the day.
"Good morning everyone." Jake greeted as he went to his bed to sit on it.
Everybody were stunned because they were the ones who usually greeted Jake ever since Vynn died.
"Good morning Jake." Kate smiled as she looked at Jake.

"Good morning." The rest all greeted as they continued getting ready then Kate went to Jake's bed and stood over him.
"Mind if we talked, privately." Kate said.
Jake looked up. "Sure why not." He shrugged and then stood up with Kate following him and then they left the room.
They exited the room and were taking a stroll around the school.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Jake asked.
Kate sighed and then looked at Jake.
"I wanted to ask if you were feeling alright. I mean ever since Vynn's death, you haven't been yourself and we were really worried for you then you came in yesterday making claims about taking the big three and the academy down."
Jake halted his steps and turned to look at Kate.
"I feel fine, in fact better than before and my mind has never been clearer. And about the taking down of the big three and the academy, I'm not shy to admit it, I'm gonna do it."
Kate was surprised but she breathed in and out. "Jake, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will stand by you. And ever since that day, I also hated the academy for abandoning us especially the Head Generals. So if you want to take the academy down, I will support you no matter what."
"That is how much I love you." Kate mumbled under her breath and luckily, Jake didn't hear that.
But all what she said about standing beside him, Jake heard it loud and clear and he was confused and surprised because he never expected her to say such.
"Are you sure about this?" Jake asked again.
"Yes." Kate nodded her head firmly.
"Very well then, after classes are over today, meet me on the school's roof." Jake said as he rushed back to their dorm room leaving Kate stunned.
"School roof?" She asked herself as she felt her heart racing fast and her cheeks heating up slightly then she shook her head and made her back to the dorm also.
Meanwhile, in the school academy an emergency meeting was taking place between all the heads of the academy; the head generals, generals and sergeants.
"They really had the guts to attack this academy!" Rowan shouted as he smashed the table with his fists.
"Calm down Rowa." Humfree said while stroking his beard.
"Head Generals, I don't think that academy was just out of the ordinary. I think they were in search of something and I also think that a high ranking official betrayed the academy." Paul said.
"Yes, I think we were betrayed because anybody that goes in and out of the city, the soldiers always make sure to search them properly but the werewolves were able to infiltrate the arena, and the city." Wilfred said.
"I understand what you all said, but who on Earth dared to betray us?" Gunther asked with his fists tightly clenched in anger.
"That we haven't found out yet, we will investigate further." Paul said.
"Make proper investigation because I want whoever betrayed us, I want their head." Humfree said as he released a little bit of his Qi that shook the table and everybody on it.
"And I think it's high time we brought the war to those filthy beasts." Rowa said. "Get the students ready, I want them to get more stronger especially the second years because they have a lot of talent. Their next beast hunt which is scheduled for next week, I want you to make them hunt advanced tier beasts."
"What!" Paul shouted. "But that is going too far, even the third years haven't done that yet."
"Exactly, that Is why I plan for this to be a joint hunt between the third year students and second year students. Most of them on the day the werewolves attacked weren't at the arena and they were safe in the academy." Rowa said.
"That is why if they can face an advanced tier beast, they can definitely beat the lowest tier of the werewolves."
"But…" Wilfred tried to argue back but he was cut short by Gunther.
"No more arguments, that is our verdict." Gunther said. "Meeting dismissed."
They all stood up to leave the room. "Jake, I know you are strong enough to beat a beta werewolf, I just hope your friends are able to fight against an advanced tier beast. I wish you luck." Paul mumbled.
