The Modern Immortal

Searching for ingredients

Daemon was sitting motionlessly on his seat at S City First High School’s classroom with an unusually ugly expression.

Through a night of effort, although Daemon was able to find a dozen types of rare and precious medicinal herbs as well as all rare minerals needed to concoct the Body Refining Liquid, he didn’t even find any trace of fierce beasts, so he naturally had no idea as to where he could find fierce beasts’ internal organs and blood’s essence.

“Could it be that, because this Realm’s spiritual energy is too thin, it has caused the extinction of the Earth’s fierce beasts, or the Earth is simply unable to give birth to any fierce beasts?” Daemon’s face turned deathly pale when this possibility suddenly crossed his mind.

Even though concocting the Body Refining Liquid could be carried out without the fierce beasts’ internal organs, blood’s essence, and tendons; however, the effect of the Body Refining Pill would be greatly reduced, and also multiplied the dangers Daemon would encounter in cultivating the Ancient God Body Refinement Art.

And since he couldn’t find any fierce beasts now, maybe one day he would be lacking a rare medicinal herb and rare minerals. Wouldn’t it be equal to completely making him unable to cultivate the Ancient God Body Refinement Art?

“This won’t do, I must find the substitutes to concoct the Body Refining Pill, or find a replacement for the raw materials. Immortal Realm has Immortal Realm’s advantages, while Earth also has its own. The science and technology on Earth is very developed, and never will I believe that I can’t solve this problem in cultivating the Ancient God Body Refinement Art!”

Slowly, firm, brilliant lights flashed in Daemon’s eyes while his expression also slowly eased, before he finally revealed a confident smile.

“Daemon, Miss Emma wants you to go to the Staff's Office.” A crisp voice suddenly rang near his ears while Daemon was still immersed in his thoughts.

Daemon looked up and found that Jin Ning'er was unknowingly standing next to his seat, and looked at him with a complex expression.

“Thanks for the notice, I’ll be there right away.” Daemon already faintly understood what issues he would have as he nodded at Jin Ning'er, before he got up and left.

Seeing Daemon’s muscular back hidden in loose school clothes from behind, Jin Ning'er’s lips were squirming as she seemed to want to talk something but hesitated.

Jin Ning'er had just come out from the Staff's Office, so she naturally knew for what issues Daemon was being summoned by Miss Emma.

“Daemon prove them that they are wrong, show them that you are the same Daemon who scored highest in the school entrance exam, that's why you're holder of so many medals. Don't let Miss Emma down” Only until Daemon’s back had disappeared for quite awhile did Jin Ning'er whisper in a soft voice.

The scene Jin Ning'er had just seen really scared her. Not only were all third years’ teachers gathered at the office, but also the principal, vice principal, as well as several people from the school’s administration were there in order to clarify whether Daemon really cheated or not in the last Monthly Test.

Almost all teachers at the office believed that Daemon had cheated on the Monthly Test, because his results were too exaggerated. From the total points of 750, he unexpectedly got 714 points, which became even more doubtful since he beat Leo, who successively became the city’s top scorer in the last Monthly Tests. Let alone the one who got this result was Daemon, who was the most bottom-ranked of the entire third year.

Only Class 10’s teacher-in-charge—Miss Emma—alone, firmly believed that Daemon didn’t cheat on the test. She didn’t even hesitate to quarrel with other teachers that were headed by Lin Sheng, which even made her face flushed red in anger.

“Daemon, Daemon… the issue that you’re cheating is not important, but you’re dragging Miss Emma with you. I know you can cure diseases that no one can cure but you have to prove them how you become the highest scorer within one month? .” Jin Ning'er curled her lips, and looked at him.

However, recalling how Daemon was in Class 10 for only a month, and only spent most of his time sitting in the classroom in a daze, as well as recalling all the rumors about him, the kind-hearted Jin Ning'er neither blamed nor complained about him.

“I dare to vouch that Daemon absolutely had cheated on this Monthly Test. If he didn’t cheat, then I will resign at once!” Daemon happened to hear Lin Sheng roar in an agitated voice when he just arrived at the Staff's Office.

Maybe it was caused by Lin Sheng’s intimidating manners, the office turned deathly silent after he roared his words, and even Miss Emma, who always strongly argued with him, also seemed frightened by Lin Sheng’s words and didn’t utter any words again.

“Hey, Old Sheng, did you mean it with your words that, if I can prove that I didn’t cheat on the Monthly Test, you will really resign?” When Lin Sheng thought that he had won the final victory and felt triumphant, a frank and clear voice suddenly transmitted, and immediately followed with the door being pushed open by Daemon as he entered the office.

“You … you… impudent! You didn’t respect the elderly and superiors. You have no respect for your teachers and their teachings. How could such a person be able to get the highest score in the test?” Daemon’s ‘Old Sheng’ remarks instantly made Lin Sheng stamp into a rage as he suddenly jumped up from his chair and pointed at Daemon’s nose and cursed, “If you can prove that you were not cheating on this test, I, Lin Sheng, will change my name to your surname.”

“Old Sheng, I am sorry, there’s no way in hell I will agree to your request. You’ve got to ask my father, to change your surname into mine!” Upon seeing the flustered and exasperated expression Lin Sheng had, Daemon felt very happy.

Daemon had always abided by his principle with others that, if “a person respected him, he would return the respect a hundred time. But if a person disrespect and humiliate him he would return thousands time”.

When Lin Sheng repeatedly humiliated Daemon and his mother, and even tried to kick Daemon out of school, the relationship between Daemon and Lin Sheng as teacher and student had ended. He naturally no longer had the slightest respect towards Lin Sheng, and this was reflected in his rude and disrespecting words.

Daemon’s words made everyone in the office unable to restrain their smiles. However, when they saw Lin Sheng’s eyes that seemed like he was being burned in flames, they held back the urge to explode in laughter with great difficulty.

“Daemon, shut up! Today, we called you to the office to give you a chance to prove your innocence. If you talk too much again like this, I will drive you out!” Upon seeing Lin Sheng’s posture, who was about to burst out into a rage, Miss Emma quickly stopped Daemon and loudly shouted.

“Miss Emma, I’m sorry, I was just impulsive.” Facing Miss Emma’s scolding, there was no dissatisfaction in Daemon’s heart, but instead felt grateful as he respectfully saluted toward Miss Emma.

Originally, after having seen how rebellious and unruly Daemon was a moment ago, everyone in the office actually frowned, and their impression of Daemon fell to the extreme.

But when they suddenly saw Daemon bowing respectfully to Miss Emma, thoughtful expressions were drawn on their faces, while they also couldn’t help but to re-evaluate Daemon once again.

Everyone also found that, although Daemon was wearing plain clothes, it was unusually clean and tidy. His short black hair made him look particularly high-spirited. Coupled with his bright and piercing eyes, high nose and thin lips, as well as his tall and straight stature, it gave off the kind of good look and graceful charm feeling.

Upon seeing and feeling the invisible elegance and self-confident charm that was emanating from Daemon, everyone then associated it with Lin Sheng’s usual character and conduct. They then instantly forgave the rudeness Daemon had done a moment ago and no longer blamed him for saying those offending words. They instead felt that it was Lin Sheng that had forced Daemon to a dead end, and caused him to say those words.

Luke Ayron stared at Daemon for a moment and then spoke in a deep tone, “Daemon, because your Monthly Test’s results are too exceptional, the school doesn’t know how to deal with your results. But Miss Emma firmly believes that your results are true and valid. And she pleads to us to give you a chance to prove it. I also want you to take this opportunity well.”

“Thank you, Principal, I will cherish this opportunity.” Daemon replied in a neither humble nor proud manner.

“Daemon, if right now you admit that you cheated, we can forgive you. But if you cannot prove it through this re-exam and the whole truth is unmasked and exposed, not only will you find yourself in a bad position, but you also will be dragging Miss Emma into the suffering.”

“Daemon, you don’t need to be like a frigid duck that is reluctant to admit mistakes. In this one year and a half time, we might be unclear about what kind of circumstances you were in, but even if you were cheating, please do so with a little bit conscientiousness and reasonableness compared to the marks table. Your results are nearly almost a perfect score. Do you think that we are some kind of idiots?”

“Daemon, be honest and you don’t need to vigorously defend yourself. Even if you have cheated, everyone can understand your feelings. If people found that you were cheating and you didn’t dare to admit, this is precisely a problem with moral character.”

****

When Daemon’s voice had just quieted, several teachers in the office couldn’t help but advise Daemon at the same time.

Most of these people were Daemon’s high school third-year teachers. Their prejudices toward Daemon had already been deep-rooted, in their hearts the results had been set. Rather than advising Daemon, they might as well ridicule and warn him instead.

Lin Sheng didn’t speak, but only coldly snorted at the side with arms crossed over on his chest and stared at Daemon with a ridiculing expression.

“Principal Luke, could you start it?” Daemon didn’t pay attention to the other teachers but instead asked with a calm and tranquil expression.

“Since Daemon has already been prepared, everybody take your exam questions out.” ,Upon seeing Daemon was responding so calmly without any fear, Luke Ayron nodded in satisfaction.

Under Luke Ayron’s order, the third year grade teacher’s leader—Teacher Edmund—put out the early prepared 4 papers and handed it over to Daemon.

“Daemon, if you can finish these exam papers within 4 hours this morning, and your results pass the minimum standard, the school will admit that your Monthly Test’s results are true and valid.” Under Daemon’s inquiry eyes, Teacher Edmund explained in a clear voice.

“IF I finish this set of exam papers within the specified time and achieve good results, but still some people are suspecting that I’m cheating, then what’s to be done?” After Daemon took the exam papers, he didn’t immediately answer it, but instead asked while sweeping a glance at Lin Sheng that was somewhat as if it was intended to be pointed at him.

Daemon’s words made Lin Sheng’s face flushed red, even Teacher Edmund also couldn’t help but cough.

“I have asked the teachers from the high school affiliated with Blue Star University to compile these exam papers with a sky-high price. These exam papers had only just arrived 10 minutes before you entered the office. Except for the Blue Star University affiliated high school’s teachers who compiled these exam papers, nobody had ever seen these sets of exam papers.”

“We originally intended to use these sets of exam papers for the next Monthly Test, and temporarily use these exam papers to test you. Because Miss Emma had been struggling and requested for it, only then was I willing to let you see these exam papers. Student Daemon, we hope that you won’t let us down!”

Upon seeing the scene between Daemon and Lin Sheng. who were just like the incompatible fire and water, a bitter laugh filled Luke Ayron’s heart. In order to avoid a dispute from happening again, he had no choice but to stand up and speak.

Daemon just took one look at the questions and started writing without stopping and in just 3 hours he was done.

"Here sir, I am done", saying he handed his papers.

The teacher took the papers and said, " Ok you can wait at the last bench there until we check the papers and if you want to go to eat something you can go and buy from the canteen and eat here.

After handing the paper Daemon took the seat at the last bench of the Staff Room and took out his phone and started checking his assets information from Bank accounts to Companies names and how much shares he have in them.

And at the end of the page there were numbers of all the managers and CEO’s Numbers. Daemon thought, I never would have thought that just by killing one person I will become a Billionaire. It's just like in the immortal realm, where winners always get all the goods, but I can use the same methods everytime, this time I get lucky. I need to find a way to explain how I get the money to mom.I also need to get my mother in one of these mansions. I can’t let my mother suffer now that i have money. Hmm..i will just find some excuse and give the commands of all the Restaurants to mother, after all who will be more qualified then mother who was the boss of multi chained high class hotels.  

I have to call all these managing staff and change the company name.

As Daemon was busy making plans, he lost track of time. After 3 hours all the papers were checked and by the look of teachers, it shows that Daemon has proved them.

One of the teachers called someone on his phone and in just 5 minutes, the staff room was filled with teachers and principal.

Principal luke said,” What happens are all the papers done”.

“Yes principal Luke, all the papers are checked and Daemon has scored full marks this time”.

“What? This is impossible, 30% of these questions were of college level. How did he get full marks”, Lin Sheng was shocked hearing that Daemon scored Full marks, that means that he lost the bet.

Hearing that Daemon scored full marks all the teachers formed a circle around the table and started checking the papers. After checking the papers himself, principal luke said,”well done Daemon, you have made miss Emma proud. Keep it up, I am expecting you to achieve first position in the final exams.

Seeing principal luke so excited, Daemon said,”thank you sir, i won't disappoint you”.

GOOD GOOD

After saying that principal luke turned towards lin sheng and said,” and you, because of you we could have lost such a brilliant student. I don’t care about the bet, for making our school nearly lose such a good student, I am transferring you to middle school for next 10 years”.

“NO..please principal luke, don’t transfer me to middle school. I have worked hard to get here. I can't go back there”.

“I don’t want to hear anything, after this year’s final exams are over you will get your transfer letter”.

“ah..Daemon for such a good performance our schools have decided to reward you, and if you keep this up and score 1st place in the exam, you will get a very good reward”.

“Thank you sir”.

After giving congratulations to Miss Emma and Daemon, everyone left the room except Daemon and Miss Emma.

“Congratulations Daemon, you don't disappoint me. As a reward I have a surprise for you”.

“So what’s the surprise”.

“If i tell you then what’s the point of it being a surprise”.

“Ok, then. I can’t wait to see it”.

“You will get it, so just be patient”.
