Nightmare Mythos

'So, it is related to that…'

Iso had a rough surface of what a Soul is. For sure, others who stole this idea or used it in the same manner from him were the same but they actually didn't know how to fully capitalize it.

That's where Cedeit's advantage came in.

Knowledge of a Nightmare came in handy in these times.

Cedeit then explained, "The core he's mentioning is indeed Soul. However, because they have no idea what that is, this human and the other people who used his method weren't able to fully feel the whole capability of it,"

Cesar silently listened and made conclusions inside his head that only remained his. Afraid that voicing out his concern which were only related to Cedeit would make Iso doubt him that might pose some question such as "why is this kid talking in the air?"

He didn't want another Arnold who would react the same way as in the early times where he was talking to himself.

Feeling that Cesar was very interested in his class made a smile on Iso's lips. Feeling that his methods were definitely working especially for Cesar, the two continued their lessons. His student continued asking questions while Iso continued to feed him with information.

…

By the end of their class, Cesar was able to learn a lot from Iso. And he was ready to use this knowledge to the best of its proficiency, specifically to someone like him who had a condition in the subject that he was willing to teach.

For a moment, it looked like Cesar was trying to trick Iso into feeding him more about his teachings, but he discovered a few things about it.

First, this was definitely effective because it was Iso. His facets clearly relied on the essence part that made things easier which matches his words earlier. This was the reason why he highly regarded a high position in the Army and even some Colonel-Ranked personnel were under his guidance.

However, that didn't mean it would hinder the progress of the person who didn't have Iso's direction.

Those who were able to understand him will be able to copy it and use it for themselves.

This conclusion was even brought by Iso that Cesar was really a genius of his kind. To be able to understand the core concept he was teaching him and being able to feel very fast isn't surprising since others have done it, but it was still an achievement on its own.

Cesar was very happy about this matter but didn't get astonished at his talent. After all, there are things to consider as to why he was getting the best of it.

And he wasn't just going to keep at himself.

"Sir, did you create a research regarding this that is named and made by you?" Cesar paused, "May I know if I can borrow it in case a related topic from my upcoming classes will require a thesis? I will surely put you on it,"

If Cesar hadn't been gone, he surely believed that their year would be making a thesis. However, that doesn't mean the current fourth year will not be having one, in fact, they will do it.

This made Cesar come to a reason to spread whatever he knew about Soul through research. With this and to avoid much bigger suspicions, he already had plans on how to do it. This mainly focuses on using Iso's reports if he ever has one.

"I did,"

Cesar's face gladdened upon hearing it.

"It is published publicly. You can find it using my name too," Iso replied after wearing his clothes before using a cloth to cleanse his eyeglasses, "I will very much appreciate it if you did include me in your upcoming thesis."

Cesar smiled and stretched his hands, "It's a deal then,"

Iso received his handshake before the two said their goodbyes. However, they were surprised to see each other outside until they went to the same cab.

By the looks of it, Iso also had the responsibility to watch over the examinations. Coincidentally, Cesar's next class is near the Academy premises.

"Right… sir,"

To avoid being awkward with each other due to sharing the same cab since it was a rush time in the Academy itself, the two continued their talk from where they left earlier.

…

"Sir, thank you again!"

Bowing respectfully to Iso, Cesar turned his back and rushed to the nearby dojo which Iso could only wave at him. Since the two were in a rush, the moment they got dropped from the cab, it was their plan to just leave immediately.

Cesar didn't do it though. Nonetheless, he knew it was the right thing to do.

"That kid is really…"

Iso couldn't help but shake his head with a smile before also jogging his way to the selection to take over other teacher's shifts.

Whoosh—!

'I'm not late. Yes…'

Four subjects just had passed, and one of them was a kind of specialized glass that calms down a person's well-being, but Cesar was already finding it tiring.

He had to walk, listen to the lesson, walk yet again, and ride a cab if the premises of his class were far. It was just his first day of doing this but Cesar was already feeling he will be regretting it.

It will definitely exhaust him even if the other classes are a way to relax and heal oneself such as Iso's class.

That's why Cesar couldn't help but commend Arnold yet again for his given schedule. If not for actually putting a list that isn't just organized, Cesar knew he would be chasing the time as of the moment.

Because of that, Cesar finally reached the dojo that Arnold's document led him to.

[Silver Sky Dojo]

Cesar slowly approached the quiet gates of the dojo. Walking for a few more steps, he was able to step into it directly before fixating his gaze on the middle where an old man was closing his eyes while sitting cross-legged.

"Welcome, Sparrow,"
