Chapter 16 – Military School
Now all he could do was to sit on the sofa and wait until he felt sleepy, or rather force himself asleep.
The morning approached early with Ghou already set up to go into the training center. The book was going to stay at home since it was very risky to be handling such type of book in the streets in risk to theft.
Opening the book to the Fire Wall page, he began to mumble some words as he tried to memorize the instructions. After some seconds, he closed the book and ran to the door which he opened in a hurry, finally switching his location to the outside of the house. Twining the local bronze key to the door, it made a low bang which signified it was locked before leaving for the training ground.
Ghou finally reached the training center, where he hurried to the Fire section that was already present of few other elemental that practiced their various skill individually.
“Hahh, Fire Wall, here I come.” He muttered walking into the farther corner of the huge hall that was scarce of people, unlike the other part.
It didn’t take long and Ghou was already indulging into the postures and body movements that were required to push the ability into effect. After some more minutes the ground glowed and golden red flames began to appear out of the ground.
Within some seconds, he was completely surrounded by the tall waves of flame that was already drawing the attention of the others. But unfortunately the heat from the flames had its effects on him as he felt his skin submitting to the fire that was immediately ceased as it reached its limit of five seconds.
“That was hot.” Ghou heaved a sigh making his way for a bench that situated in the forefront of the hall.
Within some minutes, he stood up from the ground to a free space and immediately began to redo the previous instructions but this time, increasing the width of the final move that was called the Leg Roll that involved swiping his toes to the ground within some distance which had the responsibility of creating the distance between him and the wall of flames.
The flames immediately sprang up from the ground surrounding him with a more faster pace than the last try
“Please, can you teach me.” A voice said from the outside of the flames, prompting Ghou to cease the skill whose jaw-dropped to meet a crowd of people watching him. Another repeat of words stunned Ghou who turned behind to see a well dressed girl, about his age whose smile looked nice
“Oh! I… I’m not so much of a teacher, the ma… mage school could teach you this.” Ghou stammered staring directly at the young lady whose smile transformed into a bitter look
“I spent eight years of my life in mage school only to learn piece of sh**.”
“Well, then when Tier are you.”
“It’s actually awkward if you’re asking, but I’m an advanced level.”
Ghou’s face instantly turned worried hearing the words of the girl, who stared blankly
“Aww, unfortunately this is a Petal-King leveled skill.” Ghou lied still keeping his sad face to fit his mission to escape her request
“Oh, really.” The girl frowned as the crowd dispersed with different face and exclamation “So you mean you’re above the King level.”
“Y.. Yes.” He lied trying to avoid eye contact with the lady who stared with a frown
“Then what are you doing in a local training center, these dumb proud animals.” The lady cursed eyeing at Ghou who nodded a smile. It was vivid that she was calling for a fight, but he wasn’t such a loser to fall for the fight as it would be immature to battle a slog fight with a total stranger.
“What ever.” He nodded already making his way to the wide opened door, as his time here was complete.
****
“Ghou, you would not believe how long I’ve been waiting for you.” Pengfei upon sighting Ghou returning from the center called, standing up from the door pavement that partially stained the buttock side of his parsley trouser which was worn over a blue shirt.
“Oh, Peng, what’re you doing here, where is Xia.”
“Before answering those questions, you have to tell me why you locked your door.” Peng spread his hand over Ghou’s shoulder with a smile
“There are thieves in the Empire, Peng.” Ghou drew the key out of his pocket, pushing it into the door that instantly made a clinking sound before pushed over by Ghou who came in alongside Peng.
“Oh, new furniture.” Peng gasped staring round the room which had a new wallpaper design, a new couch, table and many others “Now I understand.”
Just then, Peng sighted the skill book that laid on the seemingly soft sofa, as it released an energetic aura
“What book is this, a book of skills or something?”
“Well, it is actually a hard-back magazine I bought yesterday.” Ghou instantly picked the book from the chair, immediately taking it into the bedroom before placing it on his bed
“So, what’s with the visit.”
“Oh yeah,” Peng paused, staring nervously at Ghou who looked ignorant “you should have remembered Xia speaking about, me joining the military.”
“Oh, so you’re serious with that.” Ghou laughed as he found Peng’s decision quite intriguing. “Well, then it’s it good idea.”
“Right?, but Xia is making everything so difficult.”
“She’s protesting against it.”
“Yeah, and the main problem is… Is that,” Peng immediately began to stammer as he found his next words extremely difficult to say, since he was not sure of Ghou’s reaction “Emm, Xia does not want to be left alone in our house since it’ll take a long time before I return. So…. I was asking for a favor if she can spend the three years with you.”
Ghou eyes widened hearing the request as well as the duration which was going to last over two years.
“W… Well, that’s really serious.”
“Ghou, please.”
“But, I’ll be going out of town very soon.” Ghou stammered, brainstorming the idea of homing his late friend’s sister.
“Ghou, please, you have to do this for me and my late brother.” Peng knees already kissed the ground as he continuously pleaded for Ghou’s help
“Peng stop. Okay, you win, bring Xia over when you’re leaving.”
Peng jumped off the ground with a wide smile that tried desperately to subdue his need for laughter
“Thank you Ghou, I’m already signed into the military school in the Featherstone kingdom. She’ll be here in the next dawn.”
“Okay… But are you aware, the Featherstone Kingdom is a rival to the empire.”
Just then, a whole new discussion came into the picture that accompanied a burst of laughter.

Alistar slowly walked towards the tightly closed door and only stopped when he stood directly in front of it. Beside the door was three different colored tube which became a mystery to him as he stared in awe. He turned his gaze to the golden dust of the animated mage some seconds later and back to on of the tube which was golden in color. ‘I don’t believe it.” He immediately transformed into his real form and hurried to pick a handful of the golden dust and poured it into the golden tube. A glow suddenly illuminated from the golden tube, but the door remained stiff almost as if nothing different happened. ‘Impossible, this isn’t possible.’ Alistar cried inwardly and immediately began to pound on the doo

Chapter 38 – Taboo Techniques Of course!, Alistar looked unfazed after the sudden regeneration from the immortal, after all, he expected it since one wasn’t likely to be called an immortal for no reason. “Quit trying petty creature, you’ll meet the same fate as your other species.” Alistar didn’t bother to ponder at his words and immediately transformed into one of the most feared and legendary beasts, a dragon. The immortal looked stunned for a while but immediately regained his consciousness by bursting into a disgusting laughter, “You can’t intimidate me with that look, pirate, you’ll always remain the weakling you are.” “And who ever told you that pirate are weakling, I’m only being nice towards you while trying to give you a painless death. Don’t ever push me to the edge, and remember you’ll always be a mere human.” The immortal was immediately stunned after hearing the menacing voice in his head. He immediately turned his gaze to his tight fist that began to turn golden.

Chapter 37 – Guest Fighters The mage gave an evil grin after seeing the transformation with seemed to fit his hidden aura. Within an instant, the mage raised his scepter while reciting a quote that remained unknown to Alistar who looked unfazed by his action. After standing for almost a minute without any interesting action, Alistar decided to give the first blow by flinging his silky muscle-build tail to the animated mage who remained calm with his dark eyes wide opened. When Alistar’s tail made contact with the man skin, he instantly felt a sharp pain that felt like he was being stung by millions of needles. Even at that, the mage also felt similar pain as the force sent from the tail would be enough to shatter his skeleton with one blow, but fortunately, he used the ‘Adamantine technique’ which had the capability to strengthen his skin. “Humm.” The animated mage finally gave a word with shivers running down his spine. Even with the Adamantine skin, he shivered to the force of t

Chapter 36 – Three Inscriptions“You haven’t told me your name..” Alistar asked a few minutes after they began walking through the tunnel.“Leah! What about you.”“I’m Alistar. So, have you ever tried leaving the realm?”“Just once, and it wasn’t successful at all.”The place remained silent for a while as they walked non-stop through the seemingly endless tunnel.When the mother Oxyl, Leah got too bored of the unbearable silence and decided to start a conversation.“There were monsters, should I say predators in here when I tried so I didn’t go this far.”“Monsters, predator?” Alistar immediately gave a halt and turned to Leah who had a weird smile, “Do you mean real monsters live here.”“When last I checked, yes. But they might all be dead or tired of living here by now.” Alistar turned around and continued his journey but now with a curious mindset. After walking for almost one mile, they decided to rest on the thick metallic steel that strengthene
Chapter 35 - Way Of The Ju-Jung Realm
Chapter 35 – Way Of The Ju-Jung Realm Alistar could not help but feel irritated after hearing the words from the mother Oxyl. He felt like running away for his life but controlled his urge since he actually didn’t know anything severe about the Ju-Jung realm.“Don’t worry, I and my kids are already stuffed with other creatures. And by the way, we have a home full of free food.”Alistar heaved a loud sigh of relief after hearing the statement, but even at that, he felt pity for the species.Some minutes later the mother Oxyl continued, “Now about the bullet-python. You should be aware that they only eat rodents and other small creatures… in the past. But due to the realm condition, they will risk attacking even a dragon..”“Have they gone nuts?” Alistar interrupted the mother Oxyl's speech that sent a feeling of goosebumps especially when the explanation made it clear that the realm was a suicide case.“Some of them... And why they have an advantage for creatures like us
Chapter 34 - One Mommy Oxyl
Chapter 34 – One Mommy Oxyl Ghou stood motionless in front of his door staring at the talisman that suddenly flew to his palm. He turned his gaze once again to the position of the carriage but unfortunately, it was long gone. “What is this? Since when was there a Winterfoe kingdom?” “I’m definitely going to try it out.” “Thank the heavens for this kingdom, the empire is really becoming a risky place. Winterfoe kingdom here I come.” These were the words of the people around the scene with most of them having a bright face and only few of them making any reasonable comments. ‘I must inform Kiara about this nuisance, how can a so-called king lower himself to the stage of going into kingdoms and empires looking for citizens!’ Ghou felt disgusted with the ill action that was considered inappropriate by many. With that in mind, he flew into the room to take a quick bath and other things necessary before going to the Palace. *** Thud! Thud! Alistar continuously bangs on the door
