9 A second glance

By the end of the night he was at 8th stage of the aura suppression. He gave the crow the name of Marletta. Finally he investigated the system further learning that his ona was connected to how much energy he could output. He also figure out he had much more info within his stats than other people. He had checked Marletta's stats finding out she had some Roc bloodline in her. She was also right about the whole name thing he didn't even set the blood contract but the system had recognized it. The system was interrogated into him, hiding things from him still.

Marletta was mind boggled at the speed of which tango had achieved his current cultivation. Tango had told her it wasn't actually that fast it just seemed fast due to the low cultivation level. She cawed at the remark since it took her almost 7 years for her to achieve 9th stage of the same realm. "Master please do not joke with me." "I am not, the normal way of cultivating affinities is just extra steps. If everyone did it the way i do the speed would seem natural. One day i will teach you the proper way, just after i achieve my deadline."

Tango had found an archery range and asked Marletta why such a thing was here. She then had a very confused look again, and explained Atawashi feathers can be used like throwing knives. Tango figured he should practice when he got a message <"I wouldn't if i were you at least not yet, you will already be able to use many types of weapons. In fact you will be drawn to the ones you already know how to use. These types of things wont appear as skills because they are deeply ingrained into after so many lives."> This actually did make sense to Tango since he remembered his weapons he used in his previous life. Tango eventually arrived at the dinner hall to eat, however his parents and a few other guests were already there.

His mother saw him enter and was about to introduce the guests to him. Except she had to take a double take, she had noticed his cultivation. 'that is impossible, it had only been a day since he declared he would become a cultivator she had thought'. His Father actually step to rescue Tango's mother from her shock before anyone noticed. "Tango I am so glad your here, Your mother had invited members of the Caladrius family. She wanted to discuss your future with you." Tango's father had a bright smile he felt the change in his son, he couldn't tell what his cultivation was but he knew he had one. Tango smiled as well, he would humiliate the witch of a mom he had. "Really I thought she said i could become a cultivator and chose my own future. I am sorry Mr....?" He left an open pause for the man at the table to answer. "Ribe Shei" His voice was similar to that of a woman but Tango had a clear idea that he was the strongest in the room, Just shy of the divine path. "Well, Mr.Ribe Shei, i greet you as elder but i am sorry to inform you if you are here to schedule a marriage it will not happen. As you can see my cultivation is 8th aura suppression, now that may not be impressive but just two days ago i was not a cultivator. You see my mother had said..." His mother cut him off, "It was nothing important elder may we discuss other things?" "I would like to hear what the boy has to say, he seems to have a interesting story." Tango smiled even more, "You see my mother had wanted me to marry into your family since i have no affinities and thus many would think i cannot become a cultivator. Except you see i am now 8th stage of aura suppression this feat in fact took only a night of study and cultivating." "How does this play into the marriage?" "Well you see as a cultivator i wish to make my own path, I had even made a deal with my mother if i could reach foundations within a month i would be able to pave my own path, but if i fail i am sure you can get the rest. Most would think this is impossible of a task, it is not and you can confirm with the monk who did my solstice day ceremony that this all is true." "I will, if what you say is true and that you have no affinities and that it really only took a night to get where you are... I will call off the marriage, after all i agree with the idea of paving your own path such skill of cultivating... despite my wanting you myself, you should be able to go on your own. Such talent only comes in few forms, i do warn you though many will not think the same and may try to kill you. So if you achieve foundations in a week..." He smiled, indicating something beyond. Tango nodded and let the elder trail off into new subjects while his mother fumed. She couldn't go against Ribe Shei he wasn't even the highest ranked within the Caladrius clan. Tango's Father however smiled, his son has escaped his own low fate.
