Chapter 274: Not on the Same Level

"Karoso!"

At that moment, a sweet voice rang out.

Karoso looked up and saw 『』 in the crowd.

He quickly took Alita and Kirmin away from the group of reporters and went to 『』’s side.

"Teacher," Karoso said, focusing on 『』.

"Oh, on this trip at sea, you have matured," 『』 looked Karoso up and down.

Karoso looked the same, but he had a bit more wear from the journey and the scent of the sea; his gaze was also firmer.

"I encountered some interesting things," Karoso said with a smile.

"You’re at the sixth tier now… Your pace of improvement is a bit too fast; your foundation might not keep up," 『』 said seriously. "If you don’t want to become a useless sixth tier, you need to build a solid foundation. I will set a limit for you: don’t think about the seventh tier for two years."

"If you push yourself to break through forcefully, you could have problems. Even if you reach the seventh tier, you might end up ruining yourself."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher," Karoso bowed.

"President 『』, long time no see." Alita yawned.

"Alita… have you reached the eighth tier?" 『』 looked surprised.

She and Null had just improved a few months ago, and she didn’t expect Alita to catch up so quickly.

What had happened during this journey to bring them so many opportunities?

"If you had been here this time, this trip might have been easier," Alita thought about her lack of strength when she boarded the ship with a bit of regret.

If she had had the ability of the eighth tier from the start, how could her card-making have failed?

"Teacher 『』, about what I said before…" Karoso started to speak.

『』 smiled, leaned close to Karoso’s ear, and began to whisper softly.

Karoso listened to 『』’s words and nodded repeatedly.

……

"Huh? Why is Karoso here too?"

When Ailina saw Karoso, she was stunned.

She never expected to be on the same boat as Karoso!

Normally, the two would definitely meet, but just after setting sail, they ran into the Forbidden Sea incident. After that, Karoso had been in his room training and processing what he had gained, so they never had the chance to see each other.

Seeing Ailina like this, Carrey couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

Before you were hugging me, and now that you see Karoso, you’re thinking about him?

"Let’s go say hello." Rayne felt a bit confused upon seeing Karoso show up.

He had met Karoso’s brother Saaya and instinctively thought Karoso wouldn’t be on the boat.

You should know that it is very hard for the three brothers of the Colloa family to be together.

He also heard people discussing the Emperor Goufuh on the ship, and he reported it back.

However, those people were talking about the young ones from the Colloa family, and Rayne always thought it was Saaya.

Saaya does not like to talk about Karoso, which caused a misunderstanding.

Soon, Rayne brought Ailina to Karoso’s side.

"Karoso, long time no see."

"Brother Karoso, why did you come to the Pande Empire?" Ailina said nervously.

While speaking, she made sure to keep some distance from Carrey.

If she had known Karoso was on the ship, she wouldn’t have hung out with Carrey.

Although Carrey is doing fine, his success is based on his family.

Indeed, Carrey is considered an excellent student at school, but his scores are only good compared to others…

Not only in this era, but even in history, Karoso would rank highly at this age; comparing the two is like comparing a top modern university student to a famous historical figure like Huo Qubing.

"Rayne, Ailina? It’s been a long time," Karoso politely shook hands with them.

Ailina opened her mouth; she didn’t know why, but she felt she was growing more distant from Karoso… The way Karoso looked at her was like he was seeing a stranger.

Feeling Karoso’s indifference, Ailina pouted sadly.

Carrey stood across from Karoso, not saying anything, just quietly staring at him.

Carrey was afraid that Karoso would mention he had always been around and that they had some conflicts.

"I came to the Pande Empire to take care of some matters. I was studying on the ship and didn’t appear much, so I didn’t know you two were here," Karoso was speaking the truth; he really didn’t know they were there.

"Did you come here with Senior Saaya?" Rayne asked curiously.

"I also met him by chance on the boat. If he knew I was on this ship… he would probably choose another one," Karoso said with a smirk.

"Ha, you brothers have a really strange relationship," Rayne laughed.

Karoso shook his head and said nothing more.

At least the conflicts among the three Colloa brothers were out in the open. Saaya clearly disliked Karoso, and Karoso didn’t give Saaya a pleasant look either. They both knew that the other would try to deal with them. However, in Dreamland, Karoso was lost in a gentle world, so his guard was too low.

"President 『』, Teacher Alita," Rayne greeted the two eighth-tier leaders, and the other two also bowed to the teacher along with Rayne.

"Why are you running around instead of studying properly?" 『』 said irritably. "Are your grades good, then?"

"Not at all. Although we are students, we also have to help our families, so we came here," Rayne quickly replied.

"Hmm, finish what you need to do and go back quickly to study hard. You are students, and studying is your most important task," 『』 advised.

"Karoso is still a student…" Carrey commented.

"So he brought me, his teacher, along." Alita glanced at Karoso, "You’re starting to act less like a first grader; not even fourth graders do this."

"I’m sorry…" Karoso said with helplessness.

"I should have realized that card…" Rayne’s gaze was on Karoso, "Emperor Goufuh came from you, right?"

If Saaya had the ability to reveal Emperor Goufuh, he would have been floating in the sky by now.

"Yes, it was created in our Canglang Province," Karoso said, "My father gave me a few cards."

Rayne suddenly understood.

No wonder when he ran into Saaya occasionally and asked about that card, Saaya always changed the subject.

"Karoso, let’s go!"

Just at that moment, Celica called out to Karoso.

"Sure!" Karoso nodded and said to 『』, "Teacher, shall we go take a look together?"

"Alright, since you’ve already tricked me over here, I might as well find out what happened to you." 『』 thought for a moment; she wasn’t in a hurry to return to the academy, Null was there supporting them.

A pair of twins who had never been apart were being pulled apart by Karoso.

After that, Karoso simply said goodbye to a few people and left with Celica and the others.

"That woman… is Archbishop Celica? How did she become so close to Karoso…?" Rayne’s eyes widened.

"Not just her, but also Dean Merlin," Carrey pointed to Merlin in the group.

"Brother…" Ailina tugged at Rayne.

The more Karoso acted this way, the more she liked him.

Rayne sighed, thinking that Ailina would only be able to watch Karoso’s back for the rest of her life.
