Chapter 401 - Meeting The Grand Professor



Dressing up, David opened the door to exit his room but was met with a very large face Zooming quite close to his.

Surprised, David staggered backwards out of surprise and stammered upon realising who it was. "W-what are you doing here instructor?"

Instructor Aella squinted her eyes and then withdrew her expressionless face. "Was wondering how long you intend on staying cooped up in your room for."

The instructor dispassionately asked as she folded her hands below her chest.

David blinked his eyes and several of his brain cells fired up electrical signals frantically as he searched for an excuse. But even then, what excuse could he give for staying locked up in his room for almost three weeks that wouldn\'t outright sound like a lie.

Even after several seconds, he couldn\'t still think of a proper excuse and in the end, he responded. "Nothing much?"

Instructor Aella scoffed. But then said. "You were in your room practicing an High-tier Black grade technique for the past three weeks."

David blinked his eyes and tilted his head in confusion. "Uhm, I think so?" Whatever the instructor was trying to do, he wasn\'t following.

"That\'s what you say when anyone asks you." The instructor explained after which, she then glanced at the deformed piece of wall David had held when he was startled for a second and then turned around to leave.

A look of realisation hit David\'s face. "Oh, I get it now."

"Yeah, follow me. You guys are leaving in an hour or so." Instructor Aella said as she kept working away from the dormitory and into the elevator.

David nodded his head and then followed her. It was only after the elevator had gotten to the last floor did his brain catch on to what she had said previously. "We are leaving for where in an hour?"

The instructor glanced at him and then explained. "Your group was supposed to leave for the Academy and that was yesterday but you weren\'t available so they had chosen to replace you with Lilith or someone else. But then, an order came from above, delaying the scheduled time."

David frowned slightly. "We leave in an hour? Shouldn\'t I go and prepare or something?"

"All the necessary tools you will need is being provided for by the academy and according to them, you won\'t lack anything."

David nodded his head but still, he wasn\'t feeling too great about the whole situation. He had just emerged out of isolation and to him, it seem like a few hours had passed when it was actually more than a week. 

He was silent the entire way and when he entered into her vehicle, he asked. "Where are we going."

"Someone asked to meet with you first as soon as you emerged. I have no choice but to obey my orders." 

David\'s frown deepened. "Who?"

"When you meet with the person, naturally you will know who he is." The instructor gave him a vague answer. 

But then, at least he knew it was a he and probably must be a senior professor. Might actually be mad White. David smiled at in anticipation. 

He had actually missed that old fella\'s bickering quite a bit. He smiled as he was reminded of their past bickering. 

About five minutes later, the Sky Cruiser jolted slightly, indicating that it had successfully landed. "Go on."The instructor opened up the hatch. 

David nodded and thanked her before exiting the vehicle. But was surprised to see the instructor leaving with the vehicle. Shrugging, he turned around to look at his surroundings and, he was taken aback when he saw that he wasn\'t any where near professor White\'s place. 

"Where is this place." He was confused as he didn\'t think he was anywhere near the institute either. Did they teleport.

The place was absolutely beautiful but it wasn\'t the built type of beautiful with the furniture, decoration and other assortments. 

The place was serene and quiet, even more so heart warming. There were beautiful flowers of different species covering every inch of the large land with its colours, beautifying the place with its presence and scent. The birds chirped happily and the insects buzzed around the flowers with delight. 

There was a small lake right at the center of the beautiful flowers that looked so crystal clear you could even see the gills of the fishes summing happily deep in the lake. 

"Beautiful right?" An aged voice resounded from behind him and David nodded his head without thinking. 

But then, his eyes focused back as he whipped his head sideways. Somehow, an old man was standing beside him without him knowing it, observing the beautiful flowers and its imperfection. 

David was about to say something when his eyes opened wore as he remembered where he had seen this person from. 

It was during the competition, this person had been seating on the highest table back at the competition but he hadn\'t said a word back then. 

And from the rumours he had heard, this old man should be the Grand professor. Realising this, David quickly bowed his head down in greeting while at the same time holding his hands out in respect. 

The old man smiled when he saw this. "They are beautiful aren\'t they?" he repeated his words. 

David raised his head and stood respectfully at his side with a solemn look on his face. "The flowers do look really beautiful. Most especially the red roses at the edges, they seem to have that vibrant feeling in them when you gaze at it. It\'s a beautiful garden you have here sir."

The old man then turned to gaze at David, smiling as he responded. "You look pretty awkward while doing this. I guess following protocols isn\'t exactly your style."

"But then again, I didn\'t quite recall telling you that those are red roses." The tone was sounding quite the same this time but David could feel the change in them with his ears and immediately knew he had said something he shouldn\'t have said.

It wasn\'t that he had forgotten he wasn\'t on earth any longer, he just didn\'t think stating the name of a popular flower back in earth might lead him to trouble. 

"There was one time I was going through some historical records back at the Archive. I once crossed path with a sketched picture of this and when I saw the flowers there and their shapes, I assumed they were the same." he then gazed at the old man, putting on a puzzled expression while controlling his heart beat, his facial muscles and his sweat glands at the same time. 

The old man locked his eye at David for a second but then, he laughed. "I got you didn\'t I?"

"Don\'t fall for it." Hazel whispered. 

David\'s eyes flickered but his puzzled expression remained the same as he asked. "What do you mean sir?"

The old man remained smiling and then waved his hands. "Don\'t worry about that, follow me."

"Cunning old fox." David cursed in his mind. If it weren\'t for Hazel, he might have actually fallen for it and who knows what would happen by then. 

The old man started in the cleared part of the flowers. "You are right, there are records of the red roses in the historical books but this isn\'t the true red rose.yhis is just a genetically engineered plant made to look similar to the red roses but doesn\'t even have half the effect of the true red rose."

"The true red rose could provide an abundant amount of blood cells, can heal most injury and most importantly, purify the body impurities, letting the body return to origin, right where it all started."

David was taken aback by this information, if the red roses truly worked like that, how come its uses was never found out back on earth? It must mean that the effect was particular to this world. 

"And when I mean return to origin, I mens if an old man like me take the true red roses, I will regain the youthfulness i had back when I was in my twenties."

David was astounded. If the red roses truly worked like that, then it must have long since gone extinct since people with power would have hoarded them or destroyed them. It\'s effect was simply too astonishing. 

The old man had a forlorn look on his face as he continued to speak. "But they had long since gone extinct and the knowledge to grow them with it. Since then, people still with the seed have tried to regrow the red roses but they weren\'t successful in anyway."

"No one knows how to properly grow these plants since the knowledge had long since gone extinct. Genetist could only engineer one that looked like it but its all just looks. The effectiveness isn\'t at all up to standard."

"Oh, I\'m mumbling again. I guess I have a lot of things to talk about as I get older." The old man laughed. 

"To the main reason you are here."
