MIGHT AS WELL BE OP
Chapter 74: Ultimate strength

As everyone was resting, an hour quickly flew by and they cursed at what was coming next.

The weight bracelets reappeared on everyone's limbs as their mana was sealed of yet again.

Klaus voice resounded within the area saying.

"Your time is up, this time around you would be running through this forest and get to that hill" Klaus pointed in a direction and they all turned to see.

"Be careful, traps are laid along the way, you might lose a limb or two, so expect the unexpected as you run" Klaus said again as he clapped his hands once and everyone disappeared and appeared at their various starting points asides one person.

Klaus then looked at the person who remained, as he deliberately didn't teleport him at all and didn't put the weight bracelets on him too.

It was Anthony the First ranker.

Klaus said to him from the mountain he was sitting on.

"Why are you still standing there looking at me, come up already"

Anthony didn't know what Klaus was thinking and just disappeared from where he stood and appeared beside Klaus.

Anthony brought out a chair and sat on it as he looked at his classmates run through the forest as they made their way to the hill.

They both didn't speak and just sat there and two hours went by, they just kept observing others without a word.

Anthony sighed, he knew he can't play the waiting game with Klaus, all these old men were literally too old to not be patient.

He knew he had to say something first or Klaus might just sit there like he doesn't exist.

"Sigh...why are you keeping me here Klaus"

"Ohhhooo.....so you give up on the waiting game" Klaus replied.

"You old men are way too patient, I am still too young and full of life to be that patient" Anthony said.

Klaus knew what Anthony was trying to say about being young and full of life but he didn't reply, he just smiled and said.

"You know, you amaze me a lot, and it takes quite a lot of things to amaze me even a little"

"I'm sorry, I'm not into men please" Anthony said with his mouth twitching.

Klaus knocked Anthony on the head and said

"You know that's not what I mean, stop trying to change the topic" Klaus then continued his talk as he looked at the other students.

"Being at the Master rank at age 15 is a record you know, I wonder how you flew through the ranks" Klaus said with an amusing tone.

"I guess I am the most talented in the world" Anthony said without even blinking.

"Ohhh, that you are, even when I was your age I was still at Peak of the Mortal rank, but here you are shattering my record, I thought I was already the most talented but it seems there are still monsters to be born"

"I possess special eyes like you and that child Kevin and I would say my own eyes see through a lot of things, there is only one thing I still haven't seen through till today and it doesn't bother me though"

"But you and your friends are things my eyes can't seem to see through, which makes you even more interesting" Klaus said.

"Are you trying to ask for what I'm hiding in a round about way" Anthony said with a straight face as he looked at Klaus.

"I have no need for your secrets, if I wanted them there are ways to know, there are abilities to get answers" Klaus replied.

"Are you talking about Diviners and their abilities" Anthony asked

"Don't count me in with those clown tricks" Klaus replied in a stern tone

"So you didn't call me here for my secrets" Anthony asked in a surprised tone.

Klaus simply shook his head as he didn't really care what secret Anthony has.

"So you aren't going to tell the Dean?"

"I don't work for the Dean"

"I mean you literally do, you are teaching us right now and you still have over a year remaining here"

"Like I said during the first class, I simply owe him a favor" Klaus said

"What if the Academy pressures you then, from what I've heard, you don't belong to any organisation or have anyone backing you or even a guild that work for you" Anthony asked.

"Only weaklings gather together to form a fence to protect themselves, I have no need for such things, as for your questions about the Academy pressuring me, they won't dare to, even if they dare, I just have to erase their existence and the problem is solved" klaus said with a straight face.

"I pursue the Ultimate path, the path of strength that defeats everything. I have no need to scheme or think of any trap that my enemies might lay or be cautious, I walk into whatever they prepare unaware and come out alive while they are dead"

"A lot of people hate me boy, but do you know why I am still standing here talking to you, STRENGTH. If I wasn't strong enough I would have been dead ten times over already"

Anthony was speechless about what he heard, although he pursue the same thing, a path of ultimate strength, but he hasn't even take a step there yet, hearing it from someone who is already on that path gives a different feeling.

Klaus literally said if the Academy actually dares, he would wipe them out of existence with his own power alone.

One has to imagine the kind of existence the Academy is, ruled by the Slaughter and the 'Blood Empress', the professor there, the connections they have that they could call in, the people that hate Klaus they could call in, students that already graduated that they could call in.

It wasn't wrong to say the Academy possess connection in every single domain, even in the Demon domain.

Yet Klaus who sat beside Anthony right now said he could wipe them off the map no matter what army they assembled, uttering such words was strength in itself.

Then Anthony suddenly had a thought and asked Klaus

"If you are so powerful then, how did you owe the Dean a favour"

Klaus smiled and said

"It's not a big reason like you would expect boy, it's just a stupid thing, there was an artifact I needed and only The slaughterer had it at the time"

"Why didn't you just beat him up and collect it"

"Just because I have power doesn't mean I should go on a rampage boy, by your statement I should just enter an auction house and take everything and come out"

"That is tyranny, although I purse ultimate strength not a path destruction"

Anthony nodded his head as he understood what Klaus meant, although he could cross lines, doesn't mean he should cross them.

If you cross one, what's stopping you from crossing two and more and before you know it you are no different than a demon.

"How about you become my disciple" Klaus offered with a smile.

Anthony became speechless, he didn't see this coming at all.

"I know you use different weapons like me, so I can teach you about weapons and elements all the way to the peak"

Anthony sighed as he looked up into the skies, the offer was really tempting but he already had a stronger master.

"I'm sorry Klaus, I am going to pursue my own path just like you did and when we meet on this path, we are going to determine who possess the ultimate strength"

"HAHAHHAHHAHA, I never thought there would be a day I would be rejected like this, this feeling is really refreshing"

"As you have issued a challenge I would be waiting for you on this path, once you deviate from it, I would kill you and everyone you love"

Anthony was too stunned to speak, one minute he was asked to become a disciple and now he was told he would be killed and his family would die too.

"Well if you don't die of old age before then" Anthony said with a laugh.
