Chapter 205 Trickster “Well, you do not have to worry, there is a way for a commoner to enter the Royal Academy,” Amaya muttered. “What is it?” Nux questioned with an excited look on his face. “You just need a noble’s recommendation letter.” “A noble’s recommendation letter?” “Yes, nobles recommend the commoner they deem fit to enter the Academy and grow stronger. Most of these commoners would later join the noble’s private army and would try to aim for higher ranks.” “Oh, I understand.” Nux nodded. “Mhm, remember, the higher the noble’s rank, the higher are the chances of you being accepted,” Amaya muttered. “What if I have a Marquee’s recommendation letter?” “Then there is no way you can be rejected,” Amaya answered and Nux’s smile widened. It wasn’t like there was no other way he could enter the academy, he just needed to change his name from Nux Leander to Nux Alveye or Nux Bannermane. It wouldn’t have mattered either way, however, he felt that it would still be better to enter the academy as Nux Leander. It was high time that this name starts shining. After all, he was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator. Wait… Suddenly, a thought appeared in Nux’s mind, “Amaya… what is the cultivation of the strongest student in the Academy?” Amaya froze as well. “The strongest is only at the peak Master Stage… Ugh… This… will be a problem… The gem of the Royal Academy, Candice Waters is a Master Stage Cultivator at the age of 21, she is the joy and pride of the Academy and is even called the Pillar of the Kingdom. Many think of her as the most talented individual to have been born in the last 100 years and already treat her like a goddess. You, however, aren’t much older than her, heck, you might even be younger than her, however, you are already a Grand Master Stage Cultivator, if this is revealed… I don’t know how everyone would react… You might even be seen as a threat that has to be eliminated. There is no way you can join the academy like this…” Amaya shook her head and sighed. Nux however, didn’t give up. He wasn’t done yet. Amaya frowned when she saw Nux’s lost look on his face. However, she didn’t say anything and continued watching. Time passed by and the atmosphere around the room got awkward. Amaya continued looking at Nux who had a lost look on his face. ‘Is he really that shocked?’ Amaya couldn’t help but think inwardly. ‘Wow… this must be the man in the world who couldn’t achieve something because he was too strong…’ Amaya realized and couldn’t help but pity him. Failed because he was too successful…𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 An amazing feat indeed. These types of weird thoughts started appearing in Amaya’s mind, well, you can’t really blame her either, she has been sitting idle for more than 10 minutes after all. Suddenly, Amaya noticed a change in Nux’s expression. Amaya continued observing him with interest and soon, a big smile appeared on Nux’s face. ‘Has he lost his mind?’ Amaya thought, however, the next moment, her eyes widened in surprise. “Y-Your cultivation…” Nux’s cultivation fell down; he became a Master Stage Cultivator now, no, that wasn’t the end, it fell even more and he became an Advance Stage Cultivator! W-What the hell is happening!? Nux then stood up and turned towards Amaya. “So? An 18-year-old, Advance Stage Cultivator shouldn’t be a problem now, should it?” He questioned. “W-What did you do? W-Why did your Cultivation fall down by two stages?” Amaya questioned back. “Oh? This, it’s nothing.” Nux shrugged his soldier and then, his cultivation returned back to normal! He became a Grand Master Stage Cultivator again! ‘What the hell is happening!? Can you set your cultivation to whatever you like!? Since when is something like this possible?’ Amaya couldn’t help but question herself and everything she knew so far. “Don’t think too much about me and don’t treat me like a normal man.” Suddenly, Nux muttered. Amaya turned towards her and once Nux gained her attention, he smiled and moved his face close to hers, “You have sold yourself to a very special man, Amaya~ Don’t treat me like any other men, I am different~” he whispered into her ears seductively. For some reason, Amaya’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned a little red. However, before she could fully understand what is happening, Nux moved back and questioned again, “So? What do you think? An 18-year-old Advance Stage Cultivator, it should cause too much commotion, right?” “W-Well, it still makes you a genius, however, it won’t be to an extent where you will attract danger to yourself,” Amaya answered. “Hmmm, good good.” Nux nodded to himself. “Alright, if you are done, you can leave my room now, I have to cultivate,” Amaya muttered. “A diligent woman I see.” Nux smiled. “Yes, now leave, I have to cultivate hard in order to catch up to others.” “Good Good, cultivate as soon as possible, I am waiting for you as well.” Nux winked playfully. Amaya frowned, however, seeing the cheeky smile on his face, she quickly understood what he was talking about and her face turned red. “Leeaaaveee!” Nux chuckled and then he left her room. After Nux left, Amaya’s face turned even redder, she then kept the book on the table and placed her head on her knees. ‘What a bastard… Hmph!’ She thought inwardly and snorted weakly. 30 minutes later, she took a deep breath and then glanced at the book in front of her. She then opened it up and started doing what the book instructed. [Trickster] [7-Star Ability] [Active Skill] [Description: It grants the Host the power to trick his opponents by binding his own Mana. This ability allows the host to decrease his Cultivation Stage to whatever lever he wants.] [Consumes 1 MP every hour.] [Note: If the Host uses power greater than the Cultivation Stage he has set, the Ability will deactivate on its own.] [Price: 10,000 System points.] ‘Ugghhh… there goes all my saved up System points.’ Nux cried inwardly as he glanced at the System screen in front of him. [System Points: 2531] He only needed 10,000 System Points to buy the technique Amaya needed, however, just like any other experienced game player, he decided to farm more. In the end, he got collected more than 20,000 System points, he wanted to collect more, however, he realized that Allura must be feeling lonely, therefore, he decided to leave. His women were a lot more important than some stupid farming. Plus, 20,000 System points were good; it was enough for him to feel rich. Not anymore though. Now he is poor again.
