Insect Tamer's Ascension Chapter 536. Getting the ant queen to the academy?

"3rd hit out of 3 made by Apex Bloom Tyrant."

The crowd went into an even bigger uproar. Theo was standing in one place, so was Rhevard.

Only five minutes had elapsed since the mantis and the brawler had started battling and right in the end, the mantis was able to do the one thing it was meant to do, to win.

Theo took the mantis inside the beast space again and looked at Rhevard, who was staring at his beast that was on the side fuming in anger.

"I will meet you later, Sir Rhevard," Theo spoke. "But for now, I have some important events to handle."

He spoke and made his way back even when the gates weren’t even open.

But just when the gate-opening tamers noticed Theo moving in soon, they made their bull-like beasts pull the chains, making the door move up and Theo go inside already.

All this time, Rhevard just stared at Theo’s back with unknown emotions.

But there was a look in his eyes, as if he was very unsatisfied with how things panned out.

Theo decided to leave right away, he didn’t want to attend any more nobles for now. His time was limited.

Both Clara and Elias were waiting at that very spot with proud but normal gazes as if they were used to Theo winning all the time now.

"Let’s go, we have to complete that evolution potential as soon as possible," Theo spoke, making them both just walk behind him out of the coliseum.

A worker came later to get him only to not see anyone there anymore. With a frown, he went away.

That day, no noble was able to meet Theo and he didn’t know if it would have any bad reputation attached to him.

But one thing was clear now, Theo was going to stop proving to people that he was better, even exceptional.

It was about time he went beyond that and let the people talk on their own, not him micromanaging everything.

He had been sidetracked multiple times since coming to the academy but not anymore.

Theo decided to make Eryn, the second member of the club, the vice president, as he had gained a lot of confidence since Theo had started being with him.

Just because he was in the club, his reputation had also taken a good turn.

The kid had already faced multiple cases of letting the female gender take advantage of him and get an interview with Theo only for the girls to be rejected for being normal.

Theo had tried to make him understand not to let them take advantage of him and so far, he had been doing good, thus the decision of making him the vice president to take care of everything but the entry of members into the club.

With that done, Theo went and cleared as many evolutionary options as he could until he came across one problem.

"Without combat or rare beast materials, I cannot get these insects to be bigger..." Theo said out loud in his dorm room.

Clara and Elias were doing their own set of duties where Clara was grinding a green stone into dust and Elias was boiling some leaves and branches.

Just where the bed where Theo slept was, on the opposite side, there were multiple glass containers, all short in length while being longer in width.

There were different breeds of insects in all the terrariums and all they were doing was eating.

"So we can’t escape the combat part..." Clara said in a sad tone, making Theo nod.

"And I can’t force these insects like I did in the county-"

"County," Elias interjected.

"Yes, like I did in the county," Theo spoke and groaned. "It still doesn’t feel right when I say it, barony was better."

He stated, making both Clara and Elias not react at all.

They were used to him and the mind-boggling things he spoke every now and then.

"I need the ant queen desperately," Theo said and leaned back on the chair. "But there is no way it will come this far, leaving behind that much land where it can grow stable."

Nobody spoke anything and did what they were told to do.

Giving a response was okay if it could really help but both the attendants knew that only Theo could help Theo.

"Ant queen... Ant queen... Ant queen... what am I to do..."

After some time of thinking things through and scribbling on a paper, something finally clicked in his mind and he looked at Clara.

When she felt his gaze and then saw his expression, she smiled warmly.

"You found the solution."

She said out loud while Theo kept looking at her.

"I think I did."

Theo went and started writing some things down and then scratched his forehead.

"Why didn’t I think of this before? Has my brain power decreased since I came to this academy?"

He said out loud, making the attendants just work and take this as another one of those conversations where they were silent.

"If I am under the 20 km distance from the ant queen, the link works fine. If I go beyond that, it cuts off but what if I can increase this link by not just leveling the hive link and the ant queen but also through physical measures?"

He asked himself but Elias was the one whose ears perked up.

"What do you mean, young master?" Elias asked in curiosity and Theo looked at him with a grin.

"I can be fully wrong about this, Elias. We can’t get too happy just yet, but... with the increasing population of the colony, maybe it’s time the ant queen not just make the chambers downward only. It could go vertical and in a certain direction I will tell it to start going toward."

Theo said to let Elias catch on to what he said, but he still looked like he was going to ask a question.

Theo didn’t give him time.

"It will..."
