Chapter 382 Backup Plan
A few days later,
Leo woke up early in the morning with an anticipated expression; after eating breakfast, he left the house and walked toward the rune academy.
Yesterday, the academy announced the admission list, and surprisingly, his name appeared at the top.
Today is the day of orientation; he will be named as the merit student of the academy.
Just after walking inside the academy, he encountered a few rune masters; they are the rune teachers inside the academy.
The giant civilization is at the early stage of rune mastering; there are just a few hundred rune masters.
Leo glanced at them; he also found a familiar old shopkeeper he had encountered in the rune weapon association and also another old man wearing red robes who assessed his test before.
Leo appeared and stood among the crowd of students; a female student with the same six-meter height beside him turned and glanced at him, and then she smiled and nodded at him.
Leo was startled and then nodded in return; after practicing the art and using the three first-generation potions, his strength and height successfully reached the sixth stage.
After looking at the direction of other students around and the masters, he didn't see the familiar figure anywhere he wanted to see.
"Are you looking for the dean, Lux?" Suddenly the female student beside him asked with a smile, looking at him,
Leo nodded, looking at her, and then asked, "Why isn't he here? I heard he also teaches basic elemental runes to fresh students."
The female student shook her head and replied,
"Your news is outdated; he only teaches the rare classes. For elemental and special rune classes, there are already rune masters available."
Leo was surprised and then fell silent, and then the female student smiled and added,
"Don't worry, although your Excellency Lux doesn't teach the elemental runes anymore, he will definitely arrive in a while to give a speech."
At this moment, a small aircraft appeared in the sky and then landed on the ground beside the hall.
A figure walked outside from it; it was a three-meter young giant walking toward the stage in front of the students.
All the students were confused; they didn't expect a child to arrive in the aircraft.
Meanwhile, Leo was surprised, and his body trembled, and his heart sped up and beat at an alarming rate.
'It's him. I thought he was the child of that man before, but now it seems he is in the transition toward the next cycle.'
Leo thought to himself, recognizing the small figure in front of him as Lin Lee.
On the other hand,
After walking off from the spacecraft, he appeared on the stage, looking at the fifty or so students below.
'Each year the quantity of students is increasing; there were only thirty and fewer students enrolled in past years; probably in the next ten or so years I will retire and choose the new dean for this academy.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the direction of the students below, and then he started his normal speech and motivated the students. Because of their simple giant nature, all students started burning with unimaginable heat, and they vowed to do their best, including Leo.
'Well, the brainwashing of such civilizations is very easy; anyway, I am brainwashing them for their own benefit. I am just increasing their motivation and letting them utilize their talent and potential hundred percent.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then turned around left after concluding his speech.
After Lin Lee walked inside the academy building,
"Next, I will call the name and your class division."
The red rune master walked forward and reminded the students, looking at them, and then he called the students names and assigned them to classes one by one.

"Kite, Elemental Class,"
"Niel, Elemental Class,"
"Tear, Special Class,"
"Neon, Special Class,"
"Leo, Special Class,"
After a while, all students were named and assigned to the classes.
'I am in a special class, but there is no rare class student.' Leo thought to himself, feeling a little confused about the rare class.
"Let's go; I didn't expect you to be assigned to the special class; it seems you have also mastered a special rune." The familiar female student appeared beside him, and she spoke with a smile.
"It was just luck."
Leo smiled in return and replied humbly,
"Well, my father used to say that luck is also a form of strength; without luck, no living thing can survive. Anyway, my name is Neon."
Leo nodded and replied, "I already know your name."
Neon smiled wryly and then waved her hand, walked toward the main academy building, and Lux followed.
After sitting in their class, the familiar old man appeared in class wearing red robes; then he glanced at the students, and projections lit up around him with his name and also an overview of the runes.
"I am Fin. After today I will teach you the usage of special runes. Remember, the academy won't teach you or introduce you to runes; you can learn the basics through your book guide. You will just learn the advanced application of runes and their usage in different fields."
After his self-introduction, Fin told them about the advanced rune application, and then he started overviewing the introduction of runes and lines.
On the other hand,
Lin Lee is standing in the dean's office beside the window, looking at the outside direction, and then he turned and glanced at the red sitting at the table corner and dangling her feet.
"Red, I have decided to choose a disciple and inheritor and initiate the process. I want you to filter out the most suitable and talented student. I can't stay in this world for a long time, nor can I wait for a thousand years and wait for a giant upgrade."
Lin Lee instructed and then fell silent; Red nodded and then disappeared with a flicker.
…
A few more months passed.
Leo is studying at the academy, trying his best to gather as much knowledge as he can learn; other students in the special class also learned everything competitively.
Suddenly, a teacher appeared in the class, and she spoke solemnly, "Students, you all return to your home immediately; don't leave your house at any cost."
Leo and others were startled, and their faces changed; all of them hurriedly stood up, then they walked outside the academy and returned to their houses.
'Why did they send students back home? Even if it's the Ice Age, it's not an instant process; it seems something bad is going to happen.'
Leo thought to himself, looking at the shops around him closing up; at the same time, a lot of spacecraft were passing above his head in the sky.
Leo becomes more and more solemn, feeling a huge threat looming above their heads.
Meanwhile, inside the main building of the empire,
Lin Lee glanced at projections around, looking at the wormhole in deep space expanding; each wormhole can now cover thousands of miles of distance.
"Red, it seems the alien visitors are coming; issue an alert. I am going to lock down the entire empire."
Lin Lee ordered thoughtfully; looking at the projections, his expression slowly became solemn.
"Sir, I am already working on it. The important facilities of the empire are closed, and the alert has been issued. Also, the backup plan has been activated."
Lin Lee nodded, and then he waved his hand, and the whole planet projection appeared in front of him.
"Red, what is the population ratio between the empire and the rest of the world?" Lin Lee asked thoughtfully.
"Sir, ninety-one percent of giants are already residents of the Rune Empire; the rest are living in ignorance."
Lin Lee nodded and then spoke,
"Well, although they refused to join the empire, I can't leave them alone here; population for me is more important than good or bad. Arrest them and then initiate the shooting meteor plan."
"Yes, sir," Red replied and then fell silent.
At the same time, in unknown areas around the world, a large cube emerged outside from the underground area and flew toward the surrounding habitat of the barbarian giants and started arresting them.
Soon, giants from the whole planet were arrested, and those cubes were returned to their respective potion, flying kilometers above the planet's surface.
"Sir, the arrest is complete; please confirm. Do you want me to initiate the shooting meteor plan?"
Lin Lee nodded and then replied, "Let's begin."
Instantly hearing his command, the cube-shaped building on the whole planet started shaking.
"Begin the transformation,"
A red voice sounded, and then the cube's outer surface squirmed and then transformed into countless large irregularly shaped meteors suspended in the void.
Then another few runes activated on the meteor's surface; the cubes flew toward the sky, piercing through the clouds and appearing outside in space and shooting toward the opposite direction of the wormhole on the other side of the giant solar system.
Even the main building of the empire transforms into a large ten-thousand-meter-sized crater, flying in the middle of countless small asteroids toward deep space.
After traveling a little distance, their pace slowed down.
... Chapter End ...
Hi lovely readers,
I am very disappointed by this book's performance over the past few months; that's why I have stopped daily chapter uploads.
To tell you the truth, I have worked very hard on this book for months, regularly uploading chapters. In the end, I found out that it was leaked on the pirated sites, which resulted in the performance drop from 100% to 10%.
I am sorry for causing you all inconvenience; that's the true reason behind stopping the daily upload, as it has no benefits.
Even the monthly payment I receive after such hard work for a whole month is negligible; that's why I don't have much time to write, as I have to do other jobs besides writing.
If I knew such a thing would happen to my book, I would have uploaded it for free instead of contracting it for such a small amount, as I would be happy that someone appreciated my writing and cheered me up.
Anyway, I will not abandon this book, as it is my first original work. I will upload only one chapter weekly, every Sunday.
Also, I will change the main platform for my future works; I will upload all my future works on Patreon.
If you want to support my writing and want me to be a full-time writer, then visit my Patreon; just write 'chaosgray' and 'Patreon' in the search bar.
Thank you for your support, and sorry for all the inconvenience I caused you.
Best regards,
Chaos Gray
