Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 289 Interlude: Asteria“s typical day as a student Part 2

10 MINUTES LATER

Celeste: Teacher Kuro, can I ask something?

Kuro: Of course you can Celeste. I will answer any of your questions. After all, you are a kind kid. You are way more suited to this batch’s topnotcher rather than Asteria. Sigh, why did it have to be Asteria?

Teofilo: Hahaha! Well said, well said!

Asteria: Hey teacher! I just gave you cola earlier!

Kuro: Zip it you two. Or do you want detention later?

Teofilo: ...

Asteria: ...

Celeste: Well um, teacher Kuro, today will be the first time that we will see the Endless Monarch up close and personal. Before, we had only seen him on our books...

Kuro: So? What is the problem with that?

Celeste: Well um, I just wonder if we will be okay once we meet the Endless Monarch later...

Kuro: Hah? What nonsense are you spouting Celeste? Of course you will be okay!

Celeste: But...

Kuro: But what?

Celeste: Well, I have been hearing some rumors that the reason that the Endless Monarch had been meditating was because he’s starting to get insane... Of course I know that these rumors could be fake, but some of the basis of these rumors are actually true. So I just thought that-

Kuro: Whatever you are thinking right now, you should immediately forget it.

Celeste: But-

Kuro: The Endless Monarch is the one who took us in here. He took care of this palce, and provided us with the chance to save our friends and family! He did all that for us! And now you, a student Guide, is actually believing some rumors slandering the Endless Monarch himself? Do you even understand what you are saying now?

Celeste: Ah-um-we-sigh.... T-t-teacher Kuro, I’m sorry for becoming this impertinent. I just like listening to conspiracy theories, and the rumors about the Endless Monarch is just so... juicy.

Asteria: Hahaha! Is it as juicy as a beehive filled with honey? If it is, then those rumors must be delicious!

Celeste: ...

Teofilo: ....

Kuro: ... Well anyways, as long as you three do not do anything that will offend the Endless Monarch himself, you three will be fine. That means that you, Asteria, should not do any pranks later! As for you Teofilo, make yourself look dignified! That sleazy appearance of yours must not be seen by the Endless Monarch. As for you Celeste...

Celeste: Yes teacher?

Kuro: Just act like the way that you are acting now. But don’t you ever bring up or even mention any rumors about the Endless Monarch, especially when you are in front of him! DO you understand that?

Celeste: Um yes, teacher!

Kuro: Hmph, I know that you three are all exceptional and bright. Many others think so too. SO please don’t disappoint the Endless Monarch later with your performance.

Asteria: Wiat a minute. A performance? We are supposed to do a performance for the Endless Monarch?

Kuro: Why yes of course. What do you think you will do there? Talk to him like he was your friend? Of course not! You three were chosen by our faculty to entertain the Endless Monarch!

Asteria: Hold on! Do you think that we can just pull out a performance out of our tight ass right here? Do you think that we are that talented?

Teofilo: Teacher Kuro, you know that I am an entertainer by heart. But this? This is too much even for me! You want me, who’s a ’sleazy guy’, Celeste, who was always shy, and Asteria ,who... clearly is not a good performer, to entertain the Endless Monarch himself! The one who’s considered to be among the strongest in the Multiverse! You want us, 3 hand-sized creatures, to do something that will entertain him? Teacher Kuro, I think the faculty just wants us dead...

Kuro: Well, no matter what you think now, you have no choice but to perform. As for your performance, it will be up to you three to think.

Celeste: But-

Kuro: Right now, the Endless Monarch is alreadt at his office. Any moment now, he will call for you three to enter his office. Before that happens, think already of something that you can do to entertain him! If you don’t do that, even I am not sure on what will happen to you three.

Asteria: Motherf***er! Why did you just tell it to us now! You should have said this later!

Kuro: Well, the Endless Monarch said that I should only tell you about the performance minutes before you will be called at his office.

Celeste: Fue?

Kuro: He said that since you three are the best Guides in the current batch, you will surely have no problems thinking up of something to entertain him! Well, that’s what his expectations are. But from what I can see here, it seems like he’s bound to get disappointed.

Asteria: Oh no, we are so dead. Ah!! My mind is getting blank! I am about to faint!

Teofilo: Ahh!!! My head is so light! I am about to faint too!

Celeste: Ah oh yes! I will also faint! Kyaa!!! I’m about to lose consciousness!

Kuro: ...

Kuro: You brats! Do you want to get some beating right no-

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

[The area all around Kuro and her students started to shake]

Asteria: Eh? Why is everything shaking now? Is there an earthquake?

Teofilo: Idiot! Why would an earthquake happen here? We are inside a structure floating in space! We cannot just have an earthquake!

Asteria: Oh right, I forgot about that.

Celeste: Teacher Kuro, what is happening here? Isn’t our school filled with countless formations and defensive measures that will keep the school stable?

Kuro: I don’t know! Let me contact my superiors first!

Asteria: Oh teacher Kuro! Are you using your phone to contact them now?

Kuro: Yes, yes I am! Can you please shut up while I talk to them?

Asteria: Do you have games in your phone?

Kuro: Shut up! I am talking to the dean right now!

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

Kuro: Oh no...

Celeste: Teacher Kuro, what did the dean say to you? Did something break inside the school?

Asteria: Maybe two giants decided to you know, ’have some fun’ somewhere inside the school. Hehehe, with their sizes, I am sure that their ’funtime’ is strong enough to shake the school!

Teofilo: For gods’ sake Asteria. Please keep quiet!

Kuro: Everyone! We should evacuate the school right now!

[[Kuro flies away quickly. Her three students follow her]]

Asteria: Eh why teacher? Did two giants really do it?

Kuro: No! It’s something much worse than that!

[Angry voice]: You f**kers! You dare to attack this place even with me here? What guts you all have!

Asteria: Um, who is the one who just shouted? He’s scary.

Kuro: That’s the Endless Monarch. As for why he is like that right now, its because there are some people who are making a move against him now!

Asteria: Making a move against the Endless Monarch? Don’t tell me...

Kuro: A massive congregation of forces just appeared outside our school! Right now, this congregation is attacking our school with all of their might!

Asteria: Oh? So that’s just the problem? Hmph, with the strength of the Endless Monarch that congregation is nothing to him!

Kuro: Idiot! Do you even know the forces inside this congregation?

Teofilo: Well, we do not know. Care free to tell it to us?

Kuro: 100 Seventh Stage Beings, 57 Eight Stage Beings, and 11 Ninth Stage Beings. That’s the majority of the attacking force!

Asteria: What the f**k! That’s just too much! Are they trying to incite a war here?

Kuro: Oh, the dean also said that the ones leading this congregation were 3 Tenth Stage beings!

Teofilo: Th-th-three Tenth Stage Beings! Heavens! That’s three Monarchs just outside our school! Why the hell are they here! Did they forget about the treaty between all the Tenth Stage Beings?

Kuro: The hell if I know the answer to that. Right now, all that we can do is only escape! We have no way of fighting against the invaders! Leave the fighting to the officials of the school!

Asteria: Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Our school is being attacked by three Monarchs! What the hell is happening here? Why are they doing this? Are they not afraid of the Endless Monarch?

Kuro: From the looks of it, it seems like they have a plan against the Endless Monarch. Maybe, they thought that they had a chance to win against him today...

Teofilo: Bulls**t! With the power that the Endless Monarch have, there is no way that he can lose!

Celeste: Yes! There is no way that the Endless Monarch will lose! After all, he’s really strong!

Kuro: Settle down you three! I will call the dean again. I will ask him on where we shall go right now!

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

30 SECONDS LATER

Kuro: Oh no...

Asteria: What’s the matter teacher? Did something bad happen again?s

Kuro: The dean, he... he just told me the identities of the invading Monarchs!

Asteria: !!!

Teofilo: !!!

Celeste: !!!

Kuro: The Infernal Monarch, the Immortal Monarch, and the Martial Monarch! They are the ones that are attacking this place!

Asteria: Those three? Teacher, you are kidding right?

Kuro: I am not kidding right now! Oh god... this is just the worst!

Teofilo: The Infernal Monarch... it was said that with his power, he managed to conquer 7 Planes under his rule. His power is all-encompassing, and he crushed anyone that is at the same stage as him. As for the Immortal Monarch, his rise to power was so abrupt, that it only took him 1,000 years to reach his current level! He easily subjugated his homeland Plane, and he turned it into a powerhouse in just a short amount of time! As for the Martial Monarch, it was said that in terms of physical body and martial techniques, there is nobody in the Multiverse that can best him!

Asteria: Those three freaks are the ones attacking this place right now? Oh no, this is not good!

Kuro: All of you! Stop talking right now! The dean just told me that anyone that is below Seventh Stage should go to the Escape Formation Array at the lowest part of the school! They will have to use that formation to escape from this place!

Asteria: Below Seventh Stage? Oh goodie! We can still stay alive!

Teofilo: Huhuhuh... I wish luck for everyone that will stay and defend our school... I will never forget your contributions.

Celeste: Teacher Kuro, the Endless Monarch will be okay, right?

Kuro: Of course he will. He is the Endless Monarch. He is one of the oldest Monarchs in the Multiverse! There is no way that he will just lose!

Asteria: Hehehehe, don’t you worry Celeste. Even if there are three powerful Monarchs outside, I am sure that the Endless Monarch will win against them! When did our owner even lose?

Celeste: Yes! The Endless Monarch will not lose! He is the best after all!

Teofilo: Yeah that’s right. Those that are attacking right now will regret doing this! Hahaha! I am sure that tomorrow, we will see the corpses of the invaders!

Kuro: You three! Shut up and follow me! We cannot waste any more time here!

Asteria: Okay, okay. We will keep quiet no- HOLY S**T! THE DEFENSIVE SHIELD JUST BROKE! TEACHER KURO! A MASSIVE FIREBALL IS ABOUT TO HIT US! WE SHOULD FIND A CO-

[[[BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!]]]
