Weltz breathed heavily as he looked at Lenny with a weird expression. He felt as if all of his anger got deflated with those few words and were replaced with sadness and disappointment.

He was genuinely devastated that he couldn't beat a small boy in a direct fight. Not only that, but somehow they were on equal footing till the end.

So, with clenched teeth, he looked down in shame, not wanting to see anyone's face.

"Sigh." Lenny sighed quietly and then looked at Acht who merely pulled out a bottle of water to drink it and also to wash some of the sweat from his face.

Then, he walked past Weltz and said,

"Don't forget the 30 S-Rank soul stones."

Those were the last words he left before he went out of the capsule.

Everyone eyed him as he walked away. They saw how monstrously talented Acht was and could only change their view about him.

However, even with that, they were still aware that Acht won't accept them any time soon. Getting him to genuinely join them is as hard of a task as it could get.

After that, everyone started leaving the training capsule. The only two that were left there were Lenny and Lein. The old man didn't know why but Lein asked him to stay there for a very important matter she needed to tell him.

"What is it?" He asked as he tapped on his cane.

Lein didn't answer but instead pulled out a transparent object from her spatial ring and gave it to him.

It took Lenny a few seconds for him to identify this object and his expression immediately changed to a grave one.

He then eyed Lein and asked.

"Is this..?"

"Yes, Little shit found it when we were collecting Soul Lapis stones. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it.

Lenny sighed and rubbed his beard as he looked at the object, turning it around from time to time.

Silence took over the place for a good 30 seconds as Lein waited for Lenny to speak.

​ The woman felt urgent so she asked him.

"What should we do, boss?"

"Leave this to me. I will deal with it. It's a good thing that you discovered it. You can go now."

Lein nodded her head and left. Lenny sat down there alone in the training capsule and looked particularly nowhere with a deep look seemingly in thought.

Then, he stood up and muttered.

"Is it really this close now? We are still not ready."

Then, he vanished from the room as if he never existed there.

**************************

A week then passed quietly, the world was still in chaos about what happened and Acht's face was basically everywhere.

Theories and discussions took over the social media and TV channels about his whereabouts and Nightingale in general.

They were now akin to some kind of superstars although for all the bad reasons. However, even in the midst of this mess, there were people who started popping up that were on Nightingale's side.

It was a weird thing since the majority of the population was against anything that Nightingale did. They killed supposedly innocent people so they are bad people by default. But, exceptions were always present in such situations.

For better or worse, this was on Nightingale's side since it meant that people are starting to idolize them. Creating backing from the population is never a bad thing.

As for the person in the middle of this Chaos, he was in his room, calmly sitting on his bed training.

The world matters were not his problem at the moment and even if he stayed worried about it, there was nothing he could do.

"Fuuh, finally done." He muttered as he completely absorbed the last soul stone in his hand and threw it away.

His body was sticky with sweat and even some steam was coming from him as if he was getting cooked.

But, as much as it looked painful, it was actually a rejuvenating feeling for him.

He had already gone from being a Level 4 orange soul to a 7 orange soul, increasing his strength again by a huge margin.

He then stood up and went to take shower before leaving his room. The place was as quiet as always.

He then walked to the bar and ordered a drink. It wasn't alcoholic since Acht was never really fond of alcohol in general.

Sitting alone there, he felt somewhat peaceful as he scrolled through his phone. Every place he looked at, there was his face there along with some insults and other negative things.

It was bad but he didn't really care about how people saw him or how they thought about him. The only thing that was genuinely bothering Acht was the fact that he was now the center of attention.

Keeping it Lowkey was his initial goal when he came here but he wasn't able to do so and found out quickly that he was way too special to be able to stay in the shadows.

The Nightingale event only amplified that fact in his head, nothing more, nothing less.

As he was having such thoughts, someone entered the bar. Acht took a peak at the person and then returned to his drink without bothering to say anything.

The person who entered was Torn.

"Bloody Mary," Torn said as he sat down next to Acht.

He then eyed Acht once and said.

"You don't seem to be that bothered by it."

Acht knew what he was talking about since that's what he was looking at on his phone.

But, he didn't bother to say anything. He wasn't here for a conversation after all.

But, his next words made Acht halt his movements and look at Torn with a cold gaze.

"You know, sometimes…The worst of hits comes from people you never expect. I think you are aware of that, aren't you?"

"What do you mean?" The boy asked coldly.

"You know exactly what I mean. You already thought of it. That small possibility that you try to ignore no matter what. That might be the case this time, Acht."
