"Its seriously good; mom never lets me eat anything that I've not mastered," Elina said as she took the first bite of the food. All the recipes in the Tome are good, but the higher one goes, the more delicious they became and also harder to make.

In these three months, both Teacher and Professor had made great progress in Tome, both of them had gone above 600th, but after that, their progress had slowed very much.

Teacher who had always had a lead of fifty recipes over the professor now shrunk to nine recipes, but the professor told me the nine recipes are unbreakable gaps that she will have to try very hard to overcome.

Both professor and teacher had begun to practice their energy control from basics; the teacher said that if she did not start the cover from the beginning, she would never have enough energy control to reach the 700th recipe.

The Tome had helped Professor and Teacher greatly; their strength had risen explosively, especially teachers healing arts, they have improved very much.

Fortunately, Elina and I did not have a problem; due to the teacher's guidance, our energy control had no flaw; we just need the practice to make it better.

Twenty minutes later, lunch is over, and it is time for me to meet him, as I am doing for the past two and half months.

"Let's go," I said, and Elina nodded.

Elina and I walked toward the formation and changed the coordinates in it before walking into it with Elina, and soon, we both bound ourselves into the small room.

As we appeared in a small room, I took a deep breath; as I did that, Elina disappeared and appeared in the corner of the room.

"That artifact is quite scary; I don't know how you use something like that," she said, and I smiled. 

With her access, she does not have access to know about this Artifact but seeing she is the daughter of the headmistress and my friend and passed through all the loyalty tests that the council had put on her, they decided to let her know about the Artifact.

I tapped on my temple as I did, a white ceramic mask appeared on my face. The simple white ceramic mask had a soft, weird smile on its face, anyone who sees the smile would be creeped out by it.

The name of Artifact is 'Smiling Torture' Others might really be confused by it, but those who used it will know its fitting name for the Artifact.

The smiling torture is one greatest Heirloom Artifacts of the Academy, found in Ruin by the Headmistress Marcella Roosevelt, teacher of Ramona Hawthorn and mother of Catherine Roosevelt.

The most notable user of this Mask was Ramona Hawthorn; she used it when a Supreme was hunting her.

Its grade is above that of that Tyrant Grade, and it is a body training artifact, but it also has a different function that is copying the physique of others. It is an amazing Artifact, but its problem is, its is extremely painful.

As I mask appeared on my face, I closed my eyes, and a second later, the melted and seeped inside my face before disappearing; as this happened, change begins to happen in my body.

Crack Crack Crack

My skin begins to inflate if thousands of maggots are crawling inside me; they begin to change my skin, move my bones and also inflate them.

I started to become muscular, my nose became bigger, the color of my eyes also change to violet, and my hair turned green; everything inside me changed from skin to bone, which made this process very painful.

When I first time wore this mask and changed my shape, I had scremed out loud till my throat became dry by screaming. This Artifact is great, but it is so painful, in over three thousand years, less than twenty people used it.

The one before me who used to was a teacher; her purpose was to research the human body, but still, she had to experience this Inhuman pain to do that.

If I did not experience the pain regularly, I could have just stayed in this form as I could, but I do not like it. I like my body; I am using this mask to change the form because I have to if I go out showing, I will be hunter within a day.

Three minutes later, the squirming of muscles and moving of bones had stopped, and I became a different person.

I am now a muscled man in my late twenties with short green hair and violet eyes and have a predatory grin on my face. "Let's go," I said to Elina in a very thick voice that is way different from mine.

Click!

She nodded, and soon, we opened the door and walked inside, and a minute late, I opened the door and came in face to face with a man who looked just like me as he saw me, rage appeared in his eyes.

"Bastard," he with gritted teeth, but unlike the first time I had met him, he did not leap at and with killing intent.

"Sam, its time," I said with a grinning smile; he looked at me with hate before getting up, and an opening door opposite to him and walked in, and we followed behind, and we entered a big arena.

The man I looked at and the man looking me to as he wanted to torture me to its heart's content is Sam Duffy, a rapist, and murderer, the stain that the academy should not have.

He is also a peak Emperor powerhouse with above-average strength; even among the above average, he is one of the best; there are not than Twenty Emperors in an academy that could beat him.

He had committed rape and murder; if he been a duke or prince, he would have been executed, but he is a peak, Emperor, a powerful one at that. Academy or organizations, including the Supremes, does not kill such powerhouses.

They are too valuable to be killed; they were sent to a special place to repent, a place where no one in their right mind would dare to go, where I am leaving for in few days.
