Chapter 149 Gunther's Plan
After leaving from where Jeremy was, Jake went back to his friends and sat down with his legs tucked together and his head on his legs. Peter also came over and sat down with them all as they were now reflecting on what happened.
Everybody in the shelter were now deep in thought after that impressive show of strength from Jake. Currently, Jake's name was on everyone's mouth.
"Has Jake always being this strong?" A girl asked her friends.
"Well, I don't think so. He never did stand out so I never took notice of him. But now, I think he looks cute especially the expression he made when taking those students down. It was so cool." Another girl said.
Even Geo and his little group were also discussing about Jake.
"Is it only me or did you guys notice that Jake has just gotten a hell lot faster and stronger too." Geo said as he peeked over at Jake.
"Yeah. I noticed it too. Which begs the question, how did he grow so strong in a short span of time." Simyon said.
"Harry, you were confident in taking him on earlier, do you think you can still do it?" Geo asked with a devilish smile on his face.
"If it was before he fought against that Beta werewolf, I would have said yes. But after he managed to hold that werewolf all on his own without any help, that's when I realized I couldn't beat him again." Harry replied as he also looked at Jake.
"Well I guess Alex has managed to get on his good side. So we should also try to. It would really be good if we could do that." Simyon said.
"But how do we do that? How can we join his little group because honestly, I think they are the only ones that know what they are doing because even I do not know what I'm doing." Geo said.
"It feels like I'm not heading in a particular direction and I'm just going with the flow." Geo said.
"Well I thought it was only me." Simyon added with a chuckle.
"Do you think the way Jake is now, he is approachable?" Harry asked.
"Nope. Not unless you want your head to be snapped. I advise we approach one of his group members and I think Alex would be the best to approach." Geo said.
"Good point there." Simyon said.
"If we can get Alex to make us join their group, I will really do anything Jake asks of me. Because In this world, only strength matters and Jake has it and is even growing rapidly." Geo said.
"I was a fool to try and antagonize them earlier, just because I wanted to get revenge for my little bro." Harry sighed.
"Anyway, I'm not going to join you guys in asking Alex to ask Jake to make us a part of his group because I got a group I am in. And you all know that."
They both nodded in agreement remembering that Harry was part of a guild and not just a part, he was the heir to the guild.
"Then it's settled, we join Jake's group and deal with them honestly, no betrayals." Geo said looking at Simyon.
"Yes." Simyon nodded. Your journey continues on empire
"I can only help them in anyway I can but I'm not joining their group." Harry said.
They all nodded in agreement and decided to wait for after the hunt before they approached Alex.
Meanwhile, in his self made office, Kron was sitting down in front of a hologram of Head General Gunther. Kron was currently trying to give a report of what happened today.
"The students are holding up fine today. There's no much casualties, only two students died from the hunt." Kron said.
"Good, that means the students are growing stronger and it is in our best interest they do quickly because we will need their strength if we are going to go on the attack." Gunther said.
"Any more report?"
"Yes. There was infighting between the students today." Kron said.
"Infighting? That's none of my business, they can fight as much as they want to, it will only make them grow stronger." Gunther replied as he was about to switch off his communication device.
"You would want to hear about this Head General Gunther." Kron said causing Gunther to pause.
"Go on, and it better be worth my time."
"The infighting is not what the report is about. Although it's partially the reason, but it's more like the person that caused it." Kron said.
"Who did?" Gunther raised an eyebrow.
"It was the second year student; Jake Lucas, the one the Head Generals said we should keep an eye on." Kron said.
Gunther was now sitting in his chair to listen to what happened. After seeing Jake's impressive display of strength during the tournament, the Head Generals were interested in him.
Even Gunther that didn't care, cared now because a student as talented and strong like Jake, was rare. The only student they had seen the same growth from was Alex but it was quite understandable since he was the son of one of the big three.
But Jake's own was quite different. After the tournament, Gunther went to check through Jake's files and found out he was an orphan, no one to care for him. He came to the academy as a weakling and now after a year, he was suddenly strong enough to do damage to the rank 3 of the third years.
He was certainly someone worth keeping an eye on.
Kron started recounting what happened from the beginning to the end, not even missing a scene. The more Kron talked, the more Gunther got excited.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And finally, Kron was done.
"So you are saying, Jake and his team managed to hunt 6 advanced tier beasts on their own while coming out of it quite unscathed, then they encountered trouble with the student called Jeremy which caused Jake to beat up Jeremy and his gang in less than a minute." Gunther summarized.
"Yes, that was what happened." Kron said.
"Wow! That is certainly impressive. Just keep on updating me and keep an eye on Jake the more, we need him on our side especially if he continues getting stronger." Gunther said.
"Certainly." Kron said.
"Good. Till tomorrow then." Gunther said as he turned off his device.
Back in his office, after turning off his device, Gunther was now swivelling around in his chair as he reflected on what Kron said.
'The boy is growing too strong and in no time, he will be unmatched. I need to get rid of him before he puts a spanner in my plans.' Gunther thought.
