Amon, The Legendary Overlord-Chapter 185 185: Passing Teacher Kaia’s Trial And Request

The promised five days had passed. Amon went to TN Labs on the morning of the promised day. He followed the arrows like the last time he entered the lab door, down the familiar corridor and arriving in front of a white door. He knocked on the door and opened it when he heard Teacher Kaia's voice tell him to enter.

After entering, he saw her standing near a bookcase doing experiments. Teacher Kaia wore a white lab coat, which matched her white hair that was currently tied in a high bun.

"You're early, boy." She turned, looking at him.

Teacher Kaia was making mixtures of some viscous liquids. Amon had no idea what they could be.

Putting what she was doing aside, Amon's instructor added, "Since you're here so early, you must be confident of being able to pass the test, right?"

In fact, he was. "Yeah, I read through the material you gave me several times before I got here."

"Very well, I will now test your level of understanding by asking about different materials in the books and see how far your understanding has come from those alone," Teacher Kaia said.

She knew that even just by reading books, most people wouldn't be able to understand many things on their own. Even if someone were to remember what was in the book, that wouldn't mean they would be able to create something based on their cursory understanding of the content.

Kaia wanted to test Amon and know better how far his understanding went, and from that, she would start teaching him if he passed well enough. If he passed by only little and had a lesser understanding of certain aspects, she could make him work harder on what he lacked.

Kaia pulled ten sheets out of thin air and then said, "Here, these are the test papers. There are ten in total. If your average is 90 points out of 100 points, you pass. You have 3 hours to finish."

"Thanks." Amon accepted the papers from her and said, "I will do my best."

Kaia told him to sit in a chair near a white table. It was a table used for experiments, but it was clean at the moment, and it wasn't like this was a dangerous place.

While Amon sat down and started taking the tests, Kaia got busy continuing what she'd been doing earlier.

An hour and a half later...

Amon finished all ten sheets a half hour prior, and for the last half hour he had spent the time reviewing his answers. When he couldn't find any flaws in his answers, Amon spoke up upon seeing that Kaia didn't seem particularly busy.

"I finished." 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Kaya turned. Her eyes appraised Amon with a touch of surprise, but that wasn't really it, as he just happened to finish in half the time allotted by her. In the end, if the result was not satisfactory, finishing early would be stupid if you could spend the rest of your time trying to find mistakes made.

Picking up the test sheets, Teacher Kaia started going through the answers with a blue pen. Amon was silent as he awaited the result. His calm and patience were something Kaia had no complaints about. If he was always like that, it wouldn't be so bad to teach him.

Teacher Kaia started feeling pleased after reviewing two sheets and only finding half a flaw in one of the answers so far. The theory behind Amon's answer was half right, but his understanding of that part was a bit lacking. Ten minutes later, she stopped moving the pen across the paper and said while looking at him, "Okay, you got a 99.5. With that score, you are ready to start being taught by me."

"Thank you. I will be in your care." Amon bowed his head politely.

Kaia just waved her hand in response, not at all concerned with any kind of formality. "We can start today, since you have a very good foundation and managed to come up with interesting theories by reading these five books. Your understanding is promising, so it would be good to start learning more about elemental genetic runes as soon as possible."

"Okay," Amon nodded and added, "Teacher Kaia, in a few days I will be going to enter a secret realm."

"Is it from Planet Velta?" Kaia asked.

Ammon replied, "Yes, that one."

"Oh, this is a surprise," she said, "My eldest granddaughter is going to be heading to that place as well. It would be nice if you could help each other while you are there."

"Your granddaughter?" Amon asked. "I'm not going there alone. Four other students, all girls, will go with me. If they agree to work with her, and your granddaughter is willing, we can go together."

He couldn't decide everything for himself. Although he knew that the girls would hardly reject something he asked as long as it wasn't something absurd, he still felt it was good to hear their opinions. It was also necessary to know what the response of Teacher Kaia's granddaughter would be and what kind of person she was.

If she was an arrogant girl who looked down on Ariel and the other girls, Amon didn't think it would be a good idea to work with her. Although he didn't want to upset the teacher he had just started with, it didn't mean he would be willing to do anything that she asked of him because she was over him.

Teacher Kaia immediately understood Amon's concern, and so she said, "Don't worry, Mabel is well-behaved, even though she is indifferent to many things. However, when you spend time with her, you will realize that she is really nice."

Like herself, Kaia's granddaughter had a keen interest in elemental genetic runes. And, maybe because of that, she didn't show much interest in other things. The reason her granddaughter wanted to go to this secret realm was also because of her grandmother's research. In this secret realm, she heard there were some things that could progress her research, and that's why she wanted to go so badly, even when Kaia was against it.

Knowing that Amon was going to that same secret realm came as a relief to Kaia. She knew a lot of things about Amon through 'that person', so she knew he was powerful and she also knew the girls next to him were as well. With them, her granddaughter would be much safer than going alone.

Hearing his teacher's explanation of her granddaughter's temperament, Amon understood that she was worried about her granddaughter. After all, it was a secret realm full of dangers. Going to such a place alone was too risky.

Kaia added, "Mabel will be here after school, at which point you can meet with her and come to an understanding of whether or not you will go together. You can also invite your friends to meet with her and see if it's possible to all go together."

"Okay, since Teacher Kaia put it this way, I won't refuse," Amon said, "I'll text my friends to come here after school." 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"Thanks." Teacher Kaia gave a rare smile.
