"Sure, they can go, but… they will have to make an Undying Oath to never attack the academy again or take revenge for what happened today," Ning said solemnly.

Seeing the Superior care for his subordinates made Ning feel a little bad about hurting them like this, but it needed to be done.

"Superior, we can't…"

"Do it, you fools. You will live," the Superior said.

"What about you, superior?" they asked.

"Don't worry, I will be fine. Just make the oath and leave. He is not a man we can ever hope to beat," the Superior said.

The men hesitated and made their hestitation known for a while, but after the Superior's constant insists they succombed to it and made the oath.

"I make this Undying Oath to the land to never attack or seek revenge against any of the acadmey staff or students over what happeed today."

About 20 or so people shouted out the Undying oath in a sonorous voice.

Multiple sounds of thunderclaps overlapped over each other to create a single deafening thunderclap that rang out in the sky.

"Good, you all may leave," Ning said.

"We can't leave without superior," the men said.

"Go!" the superior shouted.

"But—"

"Just go. Leave this place and never return. Never let anyone know who you were or trouble will come looking for you. The Wyan dynasty is nothing but trouble," the Superior said.

"Go!" Ning said.

The 20 or so people suddenly got scared.

"Thank you for all that you've done for us, Superior," the 20 or so people suddenly flew far away and disappeared into the horizon.

Ning looked at the direction they went and said, "They seem loyal. I didn't get the same feelings from the one that guarded the outside."

"I took my most trusted with me to the underground for the main mission," the Superior said.

He then kneeled onto the ground and fell into a daze. "This was a failure, wasn't it?" he asked.

"Yes," Ning said.

"Haha, so much planning, and it all fails becuase there is a single person standing between me and my revenge," he said. "Was I always destined to fail in life?"

"Is that what life wants from me? To fail, and fail, and fail again. Every time I am a step away from victory, it puts immovable rocks in front of my path to stop me from getting there," the Superior said.

"What did I ever do to deserve this?"

"I know not what you did. All I know is that you have something that I want and that you need to give it to me," Ning said.

"Here," the superior said as he took out a ragged looking book from his storage bag.

"I found it in a remote location inside the sun kingdom," the Superior said.

Ning took it, but didn't open it at all. He kept on looking at the Superior who simply slumped on the ground on his back.

"I'm sorry father, your son couldn't fullfil his promise to you. I'm sorry mother, this world is a cruel one. When I leave it, I hope I get to see you again."

The superior started bawling, with tears coming out of his eyes without stop. He wiped them as he spoke, but the tears didn't stop.

"I'm sorry senior brother, you protected me, but for what? I couldn't do anyting with the life you had given."

"Little sister, I couldn't get to those murderers of yours. Your brother was a failure."

His feeling of helplessness made even Ning feel a tinge of sadness. He didn't know Trebor Gassain's story, but whatever was happening right now would certainly be called a tragedy.

"My clan members who look at me from the heavens, I'm sorry. I failed you all. I promised I would get revenge, but I couldn't. And for that I'm sorry. I hope… you will at least accept me with open arms now that I am finally coming to you."

Ning's eyes went wide. "Wait, No—"

CRACK

The Superior bit the poison pill in his mouth and died. Before Ning could even do anything, his body physically rotted and fell to the ground in a pool of gore.

Unable to live his life with all of the failure, he opted to taking his own life.

He seemed to have been holding a lot of pain and anger with him, and the feeling of helplessness was weighing on him a lot, but he was holding on.

But when Ning was thrown into the mix, it was just too much and it all colapsed on top of him.

Ning didn't know what to say and simply shook his head. He then looked down at the book in his hands and flipped through it.

The book had some information about the world of the past, but nothing substantial at all.

However, there was a line in it that caught his eyes. It was a half torn page with the front part of the sentence missing, but the second half hitself gave enough information to make the whole book worth it in Ning's eyes.

"…since then, one can only enter the Spirit Transformation by cultivating at the Origin."

"I now he took the Undying Oath, but… to think he wasn't lying," Ning thought. He decided to think about the book later on, and instead went back to the academy to check on everyone for now.

He teleported to the stairs going down the underground hall and entered to see the group of staff and students up on their feet, but clearly too afraid to leave.

"Teacher Ning."

"Teacher."

People shouted when they saw him.

"The bad guys are gone. You can all leave now," Ning said to the students and teachers.

When they got the news, they immediately started celebrating. Many thanked Ning and left, except for a few staff members.

"Teacher Ning… What happened to the Superior guy, the one you called Trebor Gassain," the principal asked.

"He's dead now," Ning said, hiding nothing.

"I see… what a shame," the principal said. "He could've had such a good future as an alchemist, but instead… sigh."
