Chapter 81: Destiny Child



Chapter 81: Destiny Child

Finally entering, he didn't see many people. Only one and the person seemed to have come here much earlier. From the dark circles below his eyes, he could see that the person hasn't slept much. 

Standing against the wall, he folded his arms and closed his eyes. 

After about an hour or so, students started coming in and soon, the hall was full of people. Estimating, there was about 1100 people in here. 

His aura was fully concealed and only came off when the hall was already full of people, so he could be said to have garnered no attention. 

After some time, a person in a white robe with exquisite runes on the rim came in. Cylius recognized the runes to make the robe resistant towards certain elements and have the ability to repel dust and stain, making the robe always clean. 

The person had sharp and thin eyebrows with the face of a young man. With his face and the aura filled with mystery he was emanating, he would easily attract people's attention. 

However, his eyes had a cold look which made people not try to get closer to him at all. 

Sweeping the entire hall with his spiritual sense, he nodded slightly before proceeding to take out a black notebook. 

When the teacher swept the are with his spiritual sense, Cylius could feel the people surrounding him shudder. It was probably because they felt their secrets being exposed in front of this man. 

Cylius was different from them though. He knew how to conceal his aura, so a superficial level of detection can't detect anything from him. 

Of course, if the person concentrated on him, he would know that he was special. 

After storing his black notebook back into his space compressor, his eyes flashed blue before Cylius got teleported into an unknown space. 

Everything was pitch black except the man right before him who was dressed in a white robe behind the table. 

After seeing him appear, he got out one robe along with crystal ball. He handed the crystal ball to him and asked in a deep tone to place his hands on the crystal ball. Cylius, although suspicious, didn't dare to go against the man so he placed his hands on the crystal ball. 

The crystal was cold to the touch as Cylius felt a rush of memory get into his brain. 

"The memories you have is the cultivation technique of our academy 'Spiritual Energy Manual Basic'. After a year of studying this, you will be given another technique which you could choose depending on your element and preference. This technique isn't attributed to any element and could be said to just attract and absorb spiritual energy more efficiently. 

Seeing that you're from the lineage of the Thousand Eyed Ghost race and that you are a second-tier at the age of 14, you have the privilege to choose your mentor after seeing through the data of the teachers. You have 2 minutes to choose.

Also, you'll be in the class Stage 1 C3." 

Right as he said that, he took the thick black book beside him and placed it in front of him. 

Cylius nodded in response and immediately started to flip through the pages. With his perception and exceptional memory, he could absorb this large amount of information within a few seconds and choose the best teacher suited for him. 

As expected, he finished the book within ten seconds and started to sort the pros and cons of the teachers.

In the end, he was left with three teachers which he deemed the best. 

1. Alice Gryne. Excels in transfiguration, dark element research, and the study of various lifeform's anatomy. Condition of becoming a personal disciple: 1000 credits every year.

2. Rein Portin. Excels in spirit research and rune inscription. Condition of becoming a personal disciple: 1000 credits every year.

3. Silfer Clayde. Excels in potioneering. Condition of becoming personal disciple: 1000 credits every year.

These were his choices. The mentors had to provide knowledge to the students and gained their salary. 

But the knowledge provided would only be superficial and would only be a little more deep compared to the public classes. Only after paying a sufficient amount of money and agreeing to some conditions would their mentor truly provide high grade knowledge. 

After thinking about some more, he removed Alice Gryne from the list. Thinking about his situation, potioneering didn't seem to fit him since he could just devour the planet's rune strings to get stronger. 

"I choose Lord Rein Portin."

"As you wish" after hearing his response, the man replied. After waving his hand, an extra amount of information was imprinted onto his token which he could perceive it.

Right after, he was immediately teleported out of the place as he regained his attention. 

After he woke up, other people also started waking up one by one. In a minute, everyone had woken up. 

"My mission here is done. You all are dismissed for the day. Starting from tomorrow, the public lessons will start so be prepared." after saying this, the man immediately left the place, seemingly in a hurry. 

It meant that there wouldn't be anything for the day, so he was going to try to cultivate the manual given to him. 

'Spiritual Energy Manual Basic' the set of memories transferred to him seemed to be interesting and through the simulation he had done, the manual would work excellently and would be able to boost his progress by 30%. 

He was thinking of entering this academy with his death rune and conceal his dimension rune.

Although he wouldn't keep it a secret, he also wouldn't tell others openly about it. 

... 

Remembering the manual given to him, he first tried to write it down on a piece of paper. Although a normal person might feel immense pain and fail in recording the information, with his soul and talent, he was able to record it perfectly without any detail missing. 

The manual required him to operate his soul in a way so that it will be able to absorb and attract spiritual energy within the air more efficiently.

Going by the steps, Cylius really felt that his speed of gathering spiritual energy had become faster. 

The academy was abundant in energy so he didn't need to worry about lacking in energy at all. 

As Cylius absorbed spiritual energy, a small current made out of spiritual energy was created rotating around him. The amount of spiritual energy was a lot, but so was Cylius's speed of absorbing them! 

He was just like a black hole, as he greedily absorbed these runes, creating his core. 

Just with one night's cultivation, his core had been built 0.25%! This meant that if he kept this pace, he could fully build his core in 400 days! This was an astonishing pace.

However, building his core completely didn't mean that he had completed his cultivation as a second-tier. To be eligible to become a third-tier, he would have to have completed 3 requirements. 

First, he had to have completely built a core using spiritual energy. Second, he also had to have fully comprehended a rune. Third and lastly, he had to inscribe the fully comprehended rune onto the core. 

Although the requirements were harsh, after that, he could ascend into a third-tier and become a runic existence!

How many people dreamt of this, yet were unable to reach it. He would be sure to not be one of those. 

After that, he would have to complete much harsher requirements. 

Right now, he had finished his cultivation and it was already morning so he got up. He was assigned to the class Stage 1 C3, which would mean from the C people, he is assigned to the third group. 

The fourth-tier didn't seem to have noticed his power since he only superficially examined him so he was able to get in the more average class.

The students were given their class according to their strength and potential. There were a total of 7 grades, from A to G. 

Each grade would divide to 5 classes which the weakest would be in the fifth while the strongest and the most talented would be in the first. 

Him being assigned to the C3 class spelled average which he liked. 

Apart from the classes he had to take, the teachers were like side profession he was taking. 

However, this class education system would stop when he becomes a second stage student. 

He had 10 years to spend with this class, but he wasn't excited or anything. For him, cultivation was everything. 

Walking with his robes on, he soon entered the building labeled Stage 1. 

There he saw many people walking in their class's direction. The school would provide the notebooks and such so they didn't need to bring anything with them at all. 

After looking for a while, he found the class which had the sign "Class C3" and entered it. 

Upon entering, there were about 7 people there which he didn't mind at all. 

Even with his paleness, he didn't attract much attention. It was due to every student entering this academy being unique so he was considered normal. 

Taking a seat, he observed the students within the class. 

Not just him, the others was also doing it too. He didn't find anyone special or worthy of his attention at all. Within this class, only average among the students could enter here so he didn't expect much. 

The bell rang however, there was one person missing. There should be 30 people in every class so only 29 students being here meant that there was one person missing. 

The others also seemed to have noticed this too as they looked strange at the table without any student. 

However, right after the bell rang, the sound of the door being opened reached their ear as a person entered the class. 

Seeing this person, the calm eyes of Cylius was perturbed but quickly calmed down. 

He didn't expect to see a person of destiny here after all. 

The boy that had just entered had blue hair and red eyes with a handsome face. His blue hair paired with his red eyes created a violent aura around him that made the gaze of the students change. 

'How could this person be assigned here?' was their thought. 

Usually second-tiers would be assigned to the A or B section. A would mean that the student both had to have the background and the talent while the people who were in the B section were second-tiers that had the potential but not the background.
