BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79: Bad Vibes
Nolan and his remaining classmates all headed toward a random area where their names were quickly spotted.
Instructor Tiamat obtained the files where their mission was supposed to be.
But just as they were about to leave the desk, a person suddly approached them.
A middle-aged \'ali\' man, with a purple coloured skin and two ttacles like those of a cockroach on the sides of his head.
His eyes were , and he was a full three meters tall, almost scaring the life out of Nolan.
However, the other studts remained relatively calm as they knew what type of Descdant the man was and were already used to it.
"Instructor Tiamat. We meet again!" The man greeted, arriving before Instructor Tiamat, and stretching his hand out for a handshake.
Instructor Tiamat also reached out hers.
But just wh they were about to shake hands, they both suddly removed their hands together, creating a swirling whirlpool of gre and gold in the air.
Th they proceeded to both slap the back of their hands before pointing at each other\'s noses.
"Hahaha, a greeting from you is always a pleasure. There are quite a few bastards lacking the aura of a gtlewoman like yours..." he said loudly, as Nolan\'s eyes dulled a little.
"What was that all about?" he mused aloud, and there happed to be a studt right beside him to answer his question.
It was other than the multi-colored guy, the Descdant of Odin.
"That\'s the special greeting of the Anamaras. Their sse of greeting is quite, um, \'unique.\' "
"But not many people adore it, and the Anamaras don\'t like normal handshakes either."
"So it creates this weird connection with them..." Odin explained to Nolan, whose eyes brighted and he pieced the rest together.
He had heard that various Mythological Descdants had their own distinct cultures, and something normal in one culture could be tak as disrespect in another.
An example is the handshake.
If Instructor Tiamat had tak it like a normal handshake, the man would have be offded due to his culture.
But Instructor Tiamat didn\'t go for the normal handshake and instead wt for the strange one, ev wh she could have insisted on the \'normal\' handshake.
That earned her the man\'s pleased eyes.
"You\'re welcome. Nogili. It seems you have something pretty important for me..." Instructor Tiamat said casually.
It was clear that they must have be familiar with each other before now.
"Not really much. I was just giv an assignmt by Sir Astaroth..." he said and Instructor Tiamat\'s relaxed expression faded away, replaced by seriousness and focus.
It was clear whoever this Sir Astaroth was, he earned her absolute respect ev behind his back.
"What did the Sir command?" she asked.
"He asked me to come and get a person from your group. He said his name is, um," Nogili stammered, not remembering the name and embarrassingly oped his palm where he had writt it down, calling it out weirdly.
"Yes. A person called Nolan... Gotkilled!"
"It\'s Goschald!!" Nolan yelled at the man immediately upon hearing the name, and the studts burst into laughter.
Nolan Gotkilled!!? What kind of bullshit name and mistake is that?
[MUAHAHAHA] The system\'s mocking laughter rang in his head as Nolan scoffed.
"Apologies for my miswording. I must have gott the wording wrong..." Sir Nogili said to Nolan, quite apologetically, showing he wasn\'t really trying to mock his last name, so Nolan also waved it off.
"It\'s fine..."
"Sir Astaroth asked you to fetch Nolan?" Instructor Tiamat got back to business and Nogili nodded.
"Yes, he said he has quite a special mission for him, so I should get him. And he also added, \'if it\'s fine by you, of course...\'" Nogili completed, and Instructor Tiamat\'s eyes narrowed, looking at Nolan, who looked back at her with a perplexed expression, before she finally gave a nod.
"Ok, you can take him..." she finally agreed, and Nolan didn\'t know if it was his ears, but it seemed like Instructor Tiamat didn\'t want that but seemed like she had no choice instead.
"Good. This way, Nolan Gotkilled."
"It\'s Gottschald!" Nolan corrected before following after the ali man, and Instructor Tiamat and the remaining studts moved outside the building, heading to their Aethercraft to immediately embark on their giv mission.
\'Astaroth, you sly bastard! Just what are you up to this time?\'
__________
Nolan and the purple-skinned man walked through the crowds of instructors and studts until they arrived at the far east side of the place, where an oped elevator was waiting for them already.
The man shifted to the side, allowing Nolan to ter.
But strangely, he didn\'t ter with Nolan.
Instead, his lanky hands moved to the button, and he clicked on number 9—the highest number on the keypad—before he retracted his hands, and the elevator door closed on Nolan.
Immediately, the g beath his feet shook a little, and Nolan felt himself getting whisked upward at an incredible speed.
Just to be safe, a milky light appeared in Nolan\'s hand, and his dagger appeared in his grasp.
He somehow wasn\'t getting a good vibe from all of this.
Instructor Tiamat didn\'t seem to want him to go, and the man had come to fetch him, a little too abruptly.
And now he was getting whisked up an elevator, without the person who fetched him coming with him.
He felt like this was some type of hidd ploy and going up the elevator—It was like he was being st into hell, and just to be safe, he felt like he needed his dagger in his arms.
Soon, the elevator\'s speed slowed down until it completely stopped, and Nolan\'s hand clched the dagger harder as he heard the sound of the elevator doors oping up...
DIIIING!
