SSS Ranked Awakening: All My Skills Are at Level 100

”Tomorrow we are gonna depart for the Kingdom of Shampain.”

Excitement filled Leon’s eyes as he heard what she said. Kingdom of Shampain—they should be ready for what chaos he was gonna bring there, but he didn’t interrupt as she seemed to have much to tell him.

”There is, as there always had been, every year a grand event organized by the Ascendant Academy to display the prowess of their students to the rest of the world.” She paused for a moment as she continued while completely focusing on his expression because she knew he was gonna like this part. ”Ascendant Academy was not originally made by the Shampain kingdom. From what I know, most of the staff and headmaster are from the middle domain, or could be even higher, as you have broadened my horizon about this world the other day.”

”The academy was also the reason that the Shampain kingdom had become the most powerful kingdom over the years, just because it is located in their capital city of Hemsburg.”

”It is also the academy where I had attended for 4 years when I was much younger. They are mysterious and powerful—no one can mess with them.”

A grin appeared on her face as she continued the next part.

”We were only going there at first because, when I learned you had an affinity for all the elements but didn’t have proper knowledge and ideas about how they would work, I had thought it would be a great experience for you to witness the festival firsthand.”

Leon was listening quietly to everything she was telling him and seriously thought this was a big opportunity for him to see people with different affinities fighting each other. He would have massive growth in understanding his own elements.

But there was one question in his mind. He asked her as the grin on her face told him she hadn’t told him everything.

”Would the Duke’s eldest son also be participating in the event? Is he also enrolled in the academy?”

”Hehe, my dear disciple, you have guessed correctly. While my intention when attending the festival with you was different at first, luckily, he is also a fourth-year student in the academy. The festival and the battles happening in them were not just for show—many students even lost their lives in them. Your results would decide whether you would graduate from the academy or not. Getting a graduation degree from Ascendant is like proving your worth to the world and spreading your name far and wide, other than the golden life which was guaranteed afterward.”

”Good, but would I be able to participate in the event? I am not a student of the academy.”

Seraphine said while another thought crossed her mind.

”No, you can’t participate since you are not a student of the academy.”

Leon gave her a look. She told him everything, raising his expectations and mentioning that the bastard would be there too, only to say he can’t participate in the event and would miss out on the chance to kill him without much unnecessary drama that can come along with his status.

He thought for a moment. He was calm now.

”It doesn’t matter either way, master. His being just present was enough for me. I don’t need the festival to deal with him.”

’Oh! My disciple is going rogue for me—how cute! My Leon is the best!’

She decided to play with him a little, as for the full surprise she would give once they reached the academy.

”But my disciple, if you did as little as to draw his blood, the whole kingdom of Shampain would be your enemy. I don’t think my cute disciple can handle an army in his current state.”

Leon smirked and replied to her.

”Don’t worry, master. I am not stupid—nobody would know how he disappeared. I am confident I can pull this off, so if the culprit is not even found, who are they gonna attack with their army? I would make sure he dies in the academy. It would be more fun this way—mysterious Ascendant Academy vs Strongest kingdom. It would be interesting, wouldn’t it?”

Seraphine was a bit surprised by how sly her disciple was. She had expected to hear him say something about killing him without anyone finding out, but turning the academy against the kingdom—that would create a war.

Her spine tingled because of the rush of excitement she was feeling, and she also wholeheartedly believed he could pull this off with his overpowered space element and other elements.

’Should I just not tell him I have a way to let him take part in the event?’

Seraphine was seriously thinking whether she should let him do what he wanted.

For now, she had no answer—she would think about this in her free time. It would be more of thinking to get the answer.

For now, she had to enjoy this lovely moment where her Leon was thinking of starting wars for her. She couldn’t wait for the night when she would let him know how touched she felt by his passionate love for her.

Her hand traced his face gently.

”My dear Leon had gone rogue, but the master likes it very much.”

-----

After finishing eating, they continued talking for much longer, as Leon wanted to know everything about the kingdom of Shampain, the academy, and the festival taking place, since he had to go through with his plan.

While getting information from her master, who was clearly enjoying himself whenever he would ask another question.

At the end, he had learned so much more about everything, and even the fact that the master was at the top of her academy festival 5 years ago, which meant there were at least nine more people as strong as Seraphine in the public’s eyes. As for the rest, there must be more, but he wasn’t aware of them.

He did ask her what she would rank herself among those 10 powerful people, but she said she was clueless as she wasn’t much in contact with them, but she did say she would definitely be in the top 5 strongest people on the lower domain, not just those 10.

The strongest people of the lower domain, they were talking about, and knowing his master was so well-renowned made him feel proud of her.

He learned it would take 7-10 days’ worth of journey to reach the capital city of Shampain.

Which meant for him, 19 to 27 years in the dimensional space. He was gonna train like never before, and once he reached the capital, he would make sure his name would bring terror to the whole of the kingdom of Shampain.

He did say to Seraphine he would hide his identity, but that’s only if he didn’t have the power to face their so-called army. He would very much like their kingdom to know about his terror if possible, just like that bastard Duke’s son had announced Seraphine would be his wife, without giving any regard to her, and pestering her for years.

’I wonder if it would be a silent assassination or eradication of an army.’

’It seems Life steal would have a chance to shine much sooner than I anticipated.’
