Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 92.3 - Hidden Currents

What is the most dangerous thing that directly affects the trajectory of a human's actions?

Believe it or not, it is emotions.

Emotions are the things that make a human unpredictable, but also things that mostly lead to their downfall.

Every empire that had once ruled the world.

They are ruined by the emperors who couldn't satisfy the requirements of governing such an empire.

But what made those emperors particularly not befitting to such a role?

The answer was clear in the books of history.

While the victorious Emperors polished their skills on the battlefield, their offspring were slaves to their emotions and their desires.

They waged war not for political reasons but rather with their emotions, unable to see the evident outcome in their eyes.

Countless different examples of such emperors existed throughout human history, and it was also the reason why matriarchal societies tended to go to war more often than patriarchal societies.

At the end of the day, one thing was crystal clear.

Humans who couldn't control their emotions were weak, and it was a plausible opportunity to exploit such humans.

That was what the devil in the religions of Earth did.

Same as the demons of this world, as well as their followers.

"Such a fine piece."

Verian Drakos, who was the leader of the operation, mumbled to himself.

They infiltrated the Arcadia Hunter Academy after preparing for almost three years. The amount of resources and time that had been spent on this project was so high that it could cover at least five terrorist attacks in Arcadia City.

Solving and formulating the wards across the Academy. Bridging the sensors, the senses of the Hunters.

Creating new technologies so that they could catch everyone off guard and make them unable to respond.

All of these were done so that they could deal as much damage as they could to the Arcadia Hunter Academy and so that the trust in the government and the world's best Academy would be broken.

This operation was a start for everything that they had been preparing for. The plan was just set in stone.

Of course, while they were planning to deal as much damage as they could to the academy, they were also looking for possible students to corrupt.

Since the duel times were the best times for emotions to go into uproar and cause dissatisfaction.

But, even he wasn't expecting such a scene to occur.

The fluctuating emotions were clearly visible in his eyes. The dark emotions that could even grasp the entire world.

The hatred, disappointment, anger, envy, jealousy, sadness, and sorrow. Strongest emotions a human could possess.

Everything.

That kid had everything.

And, just a little bit of push.

Only a tiny bit of push was needed.

And he did.

Even if he was in the presence of an S-rank Hunter, one of the strongest beings in this world, he didn't hesitate.

Since they could even bypass the senses of the Headmaster Jonathan, why would he fear?

Even if it was risky, the risk was definitely the right choice since he had the possibility to change one of the most important heirs on his side.

Thus, he pushed the seed of corruption, which was covered with shadows.

And that seed of corruption did wonders.

He could see the hatred, anger, determination, and desire in the eyes of the target growing. And, in an instant, it passed the desired threshold.

'Indeed, it is a success. That kid is corrupted.'

The desire to destroy and the desire for entropy had been implemented in the target's mind. From this point onwards, the target would not feel any repulsion towards any demonic humans.

No.

They would rather feel close to them.

'Let's hear from him, shall we.'

Verian mumbled, following the kid under the night. The moment the S-rank Hunter, Fergus, left the room, the target left, not talking to his sister at all.

It was the best moment to have contact with him, the best moment to look.

Verian Drakos, leader of the covert operation within the Arcadia Hunter Academy, silently observed Lucas as he approached, his expression unreadable.

The shadows seemed to cling to Verian, enhancing his enigmatic presence as he stepped closer to Lucas, who stood calm and composed despite the darkness enveloping them.
