The man with silver burning eyes

Completely in trance, when Samuel opened his eyes they were burning with a bright and blinding silver light! Alarmed and annoyed by the sudden pressure coming from the skies above him, he raised his head and looked through all the obstruction in between, right into the giant eye of heaven that was threatening him!

A man without emotion, a fearless man in the burning flames of Ki, defiantly raised his head and locked his silver burning eyes onto the heavens!

The eye of heaven was enraged! An ant not only dares to defy but even had the guts to provoke it?

But when it stared him deep into those silver burning eyes, it was shocked when it suddenly felt something that should not be there! Something that it shouldn't have encountered here at all, something it had rarely felt before in all of the time it had existed! Something that had shocked it so much that for the very first time since it had made its appearance, forced it to express a slight emotion!

Fear and hesitation!

It was hesitating and reluctant to do what had to be done after it realized what was hiding there deep inside those silver burning eyes!

But after a moment's thought, it had gathered its courage and looked up to the sky and started staring deep into the endless universe above, whereafter it shortly disappeared like it was never there before!

With the threat above his head now gone, Samuel locked his burning silver eyes onto the canvas that stood before him, and while a maelstrom of ki continuously entered his body, he grabbed his brush and started painting...

If people could see him paint right now, they would pinch themselves to check if they were dreaming!

A man with raging silver burning eyes, carved into perfection by the heavens themselves, with a brush in hand and a body illuminated by the silver flames of all the Ki it was attracting, was brushing in complete trance on a canvas, like nothing else in the entire world for him existed.

Outside the villa though, things were completely different as Eva, Sarah, and Anna were currently having a heated discussion with the fat bearded man and the other teachers present.

"Even as a teacher, it is forbidden to enter someone's private property without their approval Caleb, something I know you are perfectly aware of, yet you still dare to break these rules and tried to forcefully enter the house of my disciple!? You dare treat me, Eva Hoffman, like I'm not even here!? " Eva said completely enraged against the fat disgusting colleague she despised.

"Hahaha, calm down Eva. It's not like you can do anything about it can you? You might be stronger than all of us and in the late nascent soul stage, but there are five of us here are there not? Or do you think that those two golden core brats can pose us any resistance haha?" Caleb, the fat teacher with a beard replied.

"Yes, and just like you are, we're also perfectly aware of the exception in the rule you just mentioned. Stating that when the academy's security is at risk we are allowed to bypass certain rules like the one that is currently forbidding us from entering." One of the people behind Caleb explained with a grin on his face.

"You are indeed correct, but I fail to see how the academy is at risk here, you might want to elaborate on that before you try and force your entry into my student's home, don't you think so?" Eva replied with a grin that matched his.

"So you think the eye of heaven threatening to obliterate a location on academy's grounds doesn't justify us into taking action?" Caleb asked.

"Hmm, you're right, it would actually... but it seems like you just missed your one and only chance did you not? As the threat isn't there anymore is it?" Eva teased while pointing at the sky.

"And who says it won't come back? Whatever it is that caused its appearance we need to investigate it nonetheless, and you know it!" Caleb, now a bit irritated replied.

"Well anyway, you can talk all you want but it doesn't matter anymore now haha. If you weren't stupid enough to entertain me with your nonsense, he wouldn't have made it here in time." Eva told him in a jesting tone.

"He? who are you talking about!?" Feeling that something was wrong, Caleb spread his spiritual sense to see if anyone was currently approaching their location, but the moment he did his eyes widened in surprise!

"You called him!?" Caleb asked her surprised.

"Bingo! It's not like his presence isn't justified after everything that happened, don't you think so?" Eva asked with and a big and provocative smile on her face, happy that she had bested the fat bastard.

A second later, a presence far greater than any of them in the nascent soul stage could produce engulfed the entire area around them, as a second later an old heroic-looking man made his appearance.

"Simon! Thank you for your assistance, I'm sure you understand our predicament?" Eva sent him through a spiritual link.

"Haha, no worries, good job so far in keeping them away from Samuel, let me handle it from here, I got this," Simon replied.

"Gentlemen, ladies, anyone who has no reason to be here, please leave immediately, I will handle this matter personally," Simon ordered as he looked at Caleb and the teachers behind him to indicate that they were the ones he was talking about.

Caleb who couldn't and didn't want to go against Simon's orders was nonetheless still very reluctant to leave, and locked his eyes on Eva, annoyed by the fact that she apparently didn't have to leave.

This, of course, couldn't escape from Simon's eyes, and knowing what it was probably about, he intervened before he gave Caleb the chance to open his mouth and irritate him.

"She's the master of Sarah, the owner of the villa in front of us, therefore I will allow her to stay. Besides, unlike you, I do appreciate the company of a beautiful woman hahaha!! Simon said while he laughed at the fat Caleb and his colleagues before he turned serious again and repeated his orders, albeit not so patiently and polite this time.

"So what are you still standing there for? Scram!!" He yelled at them and saw them leave as quickly as they could.

Now that they were alone again, he faced Eva and the girls with an amiable smile and asked them all to go inside, so he could question them in peace.

Once inside, they were seated around a big wooden table in the living room while Sarah acted as the hospitable housewife by serving them some tea and cookies.

"You have raised your students well Eva," Simon said approvingly while he started munching on a chocolate cookie.

"Anyway, what a day for heaven's sake... Does anyone know what the brat is doing in there that could have caused this disaster?" Simon asked. He could of course scan the room with his spiritual sense but was afraid it would disturb Samuel at a critical moment.

"Ehh, well, he should be painting right now sir," Sarah answered politely.

"He's painting!?" Simon asked dumbfoundedly, he suspected that the kid was cultivating and had done something that probably only a dao child could have done and angered the heavens while he was doing so...

'But painting? Why would the heavens be mad when all he did was painting? Wait! Unless...' When Simon's thoughts clicked and reached a conclusion, he had a faint idea what was going on here and was so shocked by his thoughts that he dropped the cookie he was holding on the floor!

"Simon?" Eva asked when she saw his sudden behavior.

When Simon heard her calling his name, he looked up at Eva with a face that changed from shock to worry.

"So, it's really that bad huh," Eva mumbled.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I see no other option have than to stop him before he can finish whatever it is he is doing." Simon apologetically stated.

"No! No one is going to stop him!" Sarah suddenly intervened in anger!

Eva who saw her student react so emotionally while she disregarded all the formalities and politeness one should have when they address the dean of an academy, couldn't help herself from letting out a sigh.

"Sigh... Sarah, I know how you feel, trust me, I really do, but Simon is right, we need to stop him, and we need to stop him now before it's too late!" Eva said while she was feeling sorry for Sarah.

"I don't care and I don't know what is going to happen, but he explicitly told me that no matter what happened, Nobody can disturb him while he's painting! Sarah rebutted angrily.

Simon had enough of this kid and her foolish thoughts and didn't want to take any chances in this matter either. Stopping him was for his own good and he was certain that if Samuel knew what he was doing at this moment, he would stop on his own accord!

"Eva, do you want to do it or shall I?" Simon asked her in a hurry.

"Master... please, please let him continue! At least explain to us what is going on!? Is he in danger or something!? " Sarah pleaded.

"I'm sorry Sarah, we don't have enough time right now to explain everything to you, all I can say is that he is not in any direct danger, but indirectly most certainly is! If I and Simon are right then he's about to create a disturbance so big that it will not only shock the entire mountain, and not even the entire kingdom, but the entire world instead!" Eva explained with a mix of fear and excitement in her eyes.

"And I'm sure we don't have to explain to you what will happen if the entire world comes to know about Samuel right?" Simon asked Sarah.

When Sarah and Anna heard this they were completely shocked and speechless!

"T-The entire world!!?"

Did you know that The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows?
