Ch-7 Visit to the academy
- narrator's pov -
~Next Morning~
As Yuze and the maid were moving through the corridors approaching the Pope's hall, Yuze extended his hand in the air and suddenly his coat appeared out of his shadow as he forgot it in his room when he came out. It was quite heavy on the soul power but it was a convenient ability to have. After another minute of walking and occasionally being greeted by the people passing by they reached in front of the grand door to the Pope's hall. It was a large golden door with sculptures of angles and a sun radiating its brilliance over the world below.
As they approached the door the guards opened it for them. They were both Soul saints but still had to use a huge amount of force to open the doors. That's how heavy they were.
After the door opened Yuze proceeded to move on whereas the maid bowed from outside and left.
The hall was as big as a football field adored with magnificent sculptures and beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Knights clad in golden silver armors were standing all around the hall in uniform distance. A feminine man with dark blonde hair with a golden black armour adored in flowers could be seen standing beside the throne and Bibi Dong was sitting on her royal throne in a raised platform at the end of the huge hall. Yuze made his way towards the bottom of the platform, clasped his hands, bowed a little and greeted her.
MC POV -
"Master I heard you summoned me."
"Yes Yuze, as you may have already faced even if you can gain soul power cultivating all day it's useless without actually actual combat experience but you're too young to face life threatening battles to gain experience so I've decided that you should join the Spirit hall academy even if children of your age are no match for you , you can fight with the instructors to gain fighting experience. You also need to interact with children of your age. " Bibi Dong spoke.
"If you think it'll be good for me to attend the academy then I'll attend it master. And it's true I need real life combat experience as I have never felt challenged by anyone I've fought so far and it is tough to improve without myself facing any challenge." I said.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo here will take you to the academy for registration and show you around the school premises." she said.
After she spoke Chrysanthemum Douluo took me out of the hall towards the academy.
"How have you been for so long ? Old Man Ju" I said. I've known him since my birth as he was the closest friend of my grandpa. He always used to visit me.
"I've been well, you have grown a lot since the last time I saw you Yuze. I've been busy for a while now because of the rising number of evil spirit masters so I didn't get time to visit you."he said.
As we were having our conversation we approached the Spirit hall academy, he took me directly towards the registration counter, after some paperwork my registration was done and I was allotted the special class.
As the name says it's a special class. Only children with an innate soul power of 7 and above were allowed to enter this class. They were no doubt future potential Title Douluos in making and the real future pillars of spirit hall. They were heavily invested upon from their meals to the instructors and the facilities they could get were all of top quality. Children in this class were all mainly grandsons of already powerful people.
After the registration was complete Chrysanthemum Douluo took me to show me around the school premises. First we went to the gym, it was a huge room furnished with state of the art equipment that were designed specifically for soul masters.
Then we went to the cultivation rooms, where rooms were divided into 4 categories- Yellow, Purple, Black and Red from worst to the best.
Although even the top red rooms were a lot worse than my cultivation room, for the students here it was a blessing.
Not everyone had access to these rooms. As they can increase cultivation speeds and the rooms were limited this led to an competition being held at the starting of every month for the ownership of the rooms. This increased the rivalry between students and gave them a reason to work hard.
Then we went through the training fields and the cafeteria area. They were not that interesting to me so I just rushed through them. After it was all done Oldman Ju left to attend to Pope's side and I went to my own room.
-scene change-
Inside the room a young man was doing handstand push-ups, he was just wearing pants as his upper body was on full view. He had well defined muscles that definitely didn't suit his age and a puddle of sweat formed under him.
"498..499..500" after he completed 500 push ups he stood up, took a towel and started wiping off his sweat.
"I guess I'll have to attend that boring academy tomorrow. I guess it's boring to stay in the room all day too but at least it's productive.
Hope it won't be a total disappointment and am looking forward to some challenge."
Suddenly a notification popped up in his system window.
* daily quest is completedx5 *
*soul power increased by 3%*
Suddenly the whole room was covered with black and red hue. The candles blew out, the lights were continuously dimming, a layer of ice formed on everything in the room, the shadows were bending weirdly and rising up from the ground. A violent energy of death radiated from the Yuze,who was at the centre of it, he had no expression on his face the flood under him had become pitch black and slowly human skeletons hands came out of the floor trying to latch onto him and from that void a constant laughter could be heard.
Yuze quickly possessed his martial spirit as dark armour enveloped him and his hair turned grey. He floated a few feets above the floor, a purple halo appeared over his head, his eyes shone with a cold light and then A wave of death energy infused conqueror's haki radiated from him and spread to the whole room. From where it passed all those were torn into shreds, the skeletons and the shadow were turned into dust and burned away as he unpossessed his Martial soul and landed in the ground the room returned to normal.
- MC POV -
"This is what having too much death energy causes, the souls of the dead try to leach into you to stay in the world of the living for a little longer and in hopes of possessing you. This is useless though they should just rot in the underworld, it's not like they are getting my body ever. But even if I want to, I still can't capture the souls of the dead to use them but I've a feeling that'll change soon."
'Did they sense the outburst of death' as I looked towards the door the space tore open. A woman landed from the crack then another two people followed.
It was Bibi Dong, grandpa and grandpa Ju.
" I greet master, " I said.
"So you did already experience it, the souls of the deceased trying to latch onto you. I knew you'll but didn't think it'll be so soon it just proves how much death energy you possess. I and your grandpa ghost have both experienced this when we were kids. All people with a high concentration of death energy will face it and they have to supress them or their body will get possessed. Am surprised how normal you look even though you experienced such a thing. It doesn't suit a six year old you know." she said, laughing a little.
"Well he's always been extraordinary" Grandpa Ju said and also started laughing with the master joining the fun.
'Why the hell are they laughing like that...'
"It's good that you're alright" grandpa said, patting my back.
"yeah only that matters, now go to sleep it's already night time. we'll take our leave now." master said then all three of them left the room.
'I should just go to sleep now, I'll have to attend academy with a bunch of annoying 6 year olds tomorrow. I just hope there won't be some cliche shit.'
[spoiler- there were]
