Chapter 12's



Aev dodged the sword with the sword in his head, then


retaliating with a quick push to his opponent's chest. His opponent fended off with


easily, in one slash knocked Aev's sword aside and attacked


the ribs of Aev.


He staggered backwards, rubbing the painful spot on


where he just got hit.


“Vil ball!” Aev curses. “Kakak Amar, how do you


doing it?”


“Slight luck, Brother Shun Jin,” Student Bula said.


Smiling, he added, “Luck, and slow opponents.”


It has been more than a week since Master Usep told Aev


that he was going to ask Grandmaster WindBallad for Wind Wind scrolls,


but the man hasn't talked about the matter since.


Moreover, from that first day, there was no sign of what


even from Mr. Joko or Windballad, and Aev has nothing to


do it in addition to training with the students.


At first, Aev's initial look had given him enough


attention from the other Students, but they were disappointed to learn that Adad


Usep did not allow Aev to use Essence while training together


them.


The left sword exercise was, but Aev soon discovered that


the other Students practiced sword techniques that used Wind Essence, and


some of them were interested in fighting against opponents who could not


using Essence.


The only exception is Student Bula, which is more


interested in Aev's sword technique rather than his magic skills.


Since then, he has spent his days competing against the Students


Bulla.


Aev has done well in some fights


first they were, but Student Bula immediately understood the Aev technique, and after that


Aev was lucky to win one game out of every ten


they're fighting.


Nevertheless, the debate against Student Bula as well


benefits Aev, as he is forced to adapt his techniques to


fighting his opponent's style.


Aev whimpering. “I bet you use Wind Essence


again,”


Student Bula laughing. Of course, he did not use Wind


Essence in their fight – one time Aev asked him to


using it, it only took one hit to defeat Aev.


At that moment, Student Jiang approached them.


Student Bula looked at him suspiciously. “Kakak Kung law,”


said. “You’ better not here to steal my sparring partner.



“Kakak JIn,” said, ignoring Student Bula. “Egypt Usep


calling you,”


Aev felt his mood instantly rise. Maybe day


this, he would eventually be granted the Wind Realm.


“And you ..” Student Kung Law glared at Student Bula.


“Perhaps if you spend a little time playing with your sword, you


will be better in magic.”


He turned to Aev. “Follow me.”


Student Jiang's facial expression was not at all friendly, and


they walked a short distance to Master Usep's office in silence.


Aev heaved a sigh of relief as he stepped in and


shut the door behind him. It was clear that the young lady did not like him, however,


even though he couldn't guess why.


———


“Ah, this is it,” Master Usep said when he saw Aev


go in. ”


Please sit down, ” Aev sit down, then ask, “What


Grandmaster Windballad finally decided whether he would give me the Realm?”


The proficient usep hesitated. “Not really,” said. “Some


last day she was not well.”


“Not healthy?” Aev thought he could hear a slight tone


annoyed in the man's voice.


Mahir Usep coughs. “From the state of the wine cellar, I will


saying that Grandmaster Windballad and Mr. Joko are currently busy with


other things.”


Aev's eyes widened. Mr. Joko and Windballad spent


he knows about Mr. Joko.


“With Grandmaster Windballad busy, I picked it up


alone to give you the Wind Realm.” scroll The proficient Usep voice sounded


friendly, but Aev thinks he can hear some deep concern


his words.


“Are you allowed to do that?” Aev is happy


the opportunity to obtain the Wind Realm, but he did not want to create trouble


for the man. “Can't we wait for them back?”


 


 


“No one knows how long,” says Master Usep.


“Last time an old friend visited Grandmaster Windballad, they


spent a few months drinking and talking.”


Seeing Aev's astonished expression, he added, “You should


understand, our master is both ancient men. They have centuries of events


to be discussed – at the very least, that was the reason Grandmaster Windballad gave


last time to me. ”


Master Usep shrugged. “If our master leaves


we are without guidance, they cannot blame us for taking


decision as they go,”


Aev nodded, though he felt somewhat uneasy.


“Now, follow me,” said Master Usep.


They left the training hall, and Aev followed Master


Usep across the monastery grounds. After some time, they reached the area


wide behind the lush land with trees. Among the trees there are


many small buildings were made of gray stone, each one the size of a


little cottage.


“This is a Natural Opening Cell,” said Master Usep. “Here,


students can open their Nature without being disturbed.”


“But why are there so many?” Aev asked. Glance, though,


there are hundreds of small buildings.


“Many Students take a long time to open the Realm


first they,” Master Usep replied. “For every Student you meet at


the training hall, there are at least half a dozen here, secluded in meditation


when they try to open their Nature.”


The man sighed, a grim expression appearing on the


her face. “Of course, many never succeed at all, and will


go after they spent a few years trying and failing.”


Aev frowned. “Year-years?”


“In your case, it will be easier,” said Master Usep.


“You've already opened the Realm once, so you can take advantage


your previous experience,”


Aev paled. His current realm had been opened with help


The Pill Opening Realm Master Joko, and he had no idea where he would even start


trying to open the Realm.


Mahir Usep stopped in front of one of the small buildings.


“This is the cell I ordered for you,” he said. “Inside, you


will find the Realm Scroll, along with some books on various


techniques to open Realms. Every morning, the waiter would leave a need


like food and fresh clothes at the entrance, and picking up dirty clothes


and the food you put outside. ”


” There is a book on how to open Realms inside? ” Aev


he was relieved, even though he was not fully convinced.


Mahir Usep nodded. “They may be a little useful


for you, though I would suggest relying on your previous experience.”


Can't tell Master Usep that he doesn't have


in his previous experience, Aev simply forced himself to smile. “I will


try your best . “


“Good luck, Student. I'm hoping to meet you


within a few months,” Master Usep said those words with a smile,


but Aev could not help but cringe at hearing it.


Sadly, he looked at the small building in front of him. Him


I felt like I had made a big mistake, but it was too late


revert.


Aev thanks Master Usep for his help, then


step inside, find a restroom with a simple bed, chair


wood, and small wooden table. On the table there are large rolls and several piles


books.


Sighing, he sat down.
