Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 25: The Plan Starts

Atlas mastered each of these fires. This was the reason why he was able to live so long on the battlefield in his previous life. He healed himself on the battlefield until he ran out of mana and burned everything and everyone on the battlefield in black flames.

Indeed, it was in his hands that the saying that the world had turned into hell was realised.

Nevertheless, he did not need to show everything in such a duel. The reason why he showed the white fire was that it was one of the most difficult fires to obtain. Those who possessed this fire might even be born one in a hundred million.

Atlas was trying to make himself stand out as much as possible.

He was trying to block the rain of fire from the clouds that had formed on the ceiling of the huge space and to fix the mana shield broken by the blades.

At that moment, Atlas took a few steps backwards and then calmly said, "Ice Tempest."

At that moment, a huge amount of mana overflowed out of his palm. The flaming clouds on the ceiling disappeared, and a storm of black ice shocked everyone again.

The "how?" question on Cordelia's face was visible.

Each professor was at a loss for words in the face of this young man. Who had ever met such a young man with such great potential?

Maybe Cordelia? Maybe the beautiful woman had chosen the other Sages because one of them seemed to have as much potential as Atlas.

But that didn't make any sense.

Not even Cordelia had ever seen anyone who could use the higher forms of the two elements, except for herself.

"Stop!" Cordelia shouted suddenly.

Atlas had stopped his spell in time to realise that his plan had already succeeded.

He had some professors and students at the academy to hunt down. He knew what each of them did, where they did it, and how they did it. Each of these people was a worshipper of demons.

While those in the world tree worshipped angels, those in the academy worshipped demons. Atlas wanted to stop it, or at least slow it down.

That's why he had to be in a high position. He had to be someone Cordelia or others like her would look favourably on, someone whose word would be believed. That was why he had shown some of what he could do.

The black ice element had been given to him because of his magic ring, which he had already checked when training with his sister. The different coloured fires had been in his possession for a long time.

"Did I pass the test, my lady?" Atlas asked with a curious look on his face as he finished his spells.

Cordelia's face broke into a smile and all the professors had to wait before they could say anything.

"From this day on, you are my personal student," Cordelia said. Even these words were enough to make all the professors feel like they were in a dream.

Atlas wanted more than that. He knew very clearly that this was the time he needed to unleash his greed. That's why he gave Cordelia the same answer he had given Abraham:

"My lady, I may not be as strong as you, but I know I have far greater potential than the professors where we are, so I don't think I need your help."

Atlas might have delivered his words to Abraham in a more polite manner, but that didn't change the fact that he was rude. Seriously, no one in this world would refuse such an offer from a Sage, especially when that Sage was Cordelia herself, the first Sage.

It was unheard of that Cordelia herself had even taken a student before. Yes, Cordelia had taught the Elf Queen, the Dwarf Emperor, the High Lord of the Half-Devils, and many others who had been students of this academy, but no one had ever been her personal student.

They were all students with enormous potential, but none of them could ever be the tip of Atlas' fingernail.

Cordelia shook her head at those words and came to stand beside Atlas with a look on her face as if she didn't want to give up.

Taking Atlas by the cheeks and fixing her eyes on his, Cordelia said as seriously as she could, "Be my personal student. Any wrong done to you will be done to me and you will be under the protection of all the Sages. How's that sound?" she muttered.

Atlas could hardly keep himself from smiling at that moment. He had to keep his cool, but how could he refuse Cordelia after what he had just heard? Being under the protection of all the Sages? That was a tremendous advantage.

"Then...how can I refuse your offer, my lady?" Atlas replied with as normal a face as possible.

With his words, the exam was over. It was unbelievable. In just thirty minutes he had managed to complete both exams and on top of that, he had been taken on as a personal student by Cordelia.

Atlas underestimated how much fame and fortune this would bring him.

With Cordelia's orders, Atlas was placed in one of the most beautiful rooms in the academy. He was lucky. Most students would never dream of entering such a room during their time at the academy. Only the best students andfifth-yearr students, usually seniors, could afford to stay in one of these rooms.

Or noble students, who needed to have some serious protection.

Atlas was finally separated from Cordelia and the other professors and had a chance to enter his room. The news had already managed to spread through the professors' loudmouths.

In just one day, Atlas' duel with the assassins against Cordelia had spread through the academy like a virus.

He wasn't even aware of the stares that would fall on him when he arrived the next day. Or even how far the news would spread outside the academy. As a result, he had never been treated like this before.

This was new even for him.
