Chapter 25 - Drake's Village

Ji Yun walked to the nearby spaceport, this spaceport is situated near the Academy for students convenience. If you are going for the academy mission, you can pass through the spaceport without gold coins, the academy will pay the fees. But you can only use it according to the mission purpose, if you use it for other than mission purposes, an equal amount of Academy points will be taken from you.

Ji Yun reached the spaceport within half an hour, then showed his Identity token to the Rainbow guard, guarding the spaceport. The rainbow guard after confirming his identity, asked Ji Yun, "Which city?"

"City of wind" Ji Yun answered. City of wind is one of the Type A cities, under control of the Feng family. Likewise 8 Type A cities are ruled by 8 Great families.

The rainbow guard took some kind of key from his pocket and inserted into one of the keyholes stated as '12', then the spaceport opened. Ji Yun can guess every number pinpoint to different locations, so 12 will send me to 'City of wind'.

Ji Yun entered the spaceport, unlike the first time, this time he can clearly see the void space, like someone, cleaved the space to make a way. Ji Yun couldn't imagine how powerful must that person be and his understanding towards space, to split open space and make a way.

Even though he has space chakra root, what he was currently seeing is like a child watching an unknown toy it got, even if the child got the toy, it won't know how to use it, this is how Ji Yun is currently feeling. Not only space he didn't even know how to use any Elemental skills or techniques.

Ji Yun thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he emerged at the other end of the spaceport, 'City of winds'. The city is surrounded by metal like walls and many high-level buildings are constructed within it; Inside the city, many peoples are actively walking across the streets, the city is fully bursting with activity.

Around the city, there are Four gates are constructed for allowing the people to enter and exit the city. Ji Yun took out his map, saw his route and asked the nearby guard about direction. From his information, he has to exit by Northern gate and travel some distance to reach the Drake village.

Since the mission requires him to save the villagers from the chakra beast, Ji Yun didn't waste any time in the city and immediately set off to the village. Soon he reached the North city gate, after confirming his identity he left the 'city of wind'.

After leaving the city Ji Yun began his travel towards Drake's village, judging by the distance it will take around 12 hours of continuous walking for him to reach the destination. In the city of wind, he saw many shops renting the chakra beast for long-distance travel, but when he heard the price for the renting he dropped his plan of renting.

Since his physical body is very powerful he didn't show any discomfort during his travel, he didn't even become tired traveling a large distance. He will occasionally rest sometime during his travel, soon the day reached evening; Ji Yun chose a neat flat grass ground to rest for the night, then he practiced his cultivation technique for some time and slept.

Next day Morning,

Ji Yun got up early morning, after checking the distance, he was sure of reaching the village within 2 hours. After walking for one and a half hour he finally saw the outline of Drake's Village.

'Such a long journey, I have to tame one chakra beast for traveling as soon as possible. If every time I travel by foot, I will be tired to death' Ji Yun thought in his mind.

When he reached the village entrance he can see there are only a hundred or so houses in a village surrounded by wooden sharp pointed walls. A young boy near the village saw a stranger was approaching his village, so he immediately shouted which could be heard by the whole village.

'Stop!'

When Ji Yun saw an inexperienced young boy around 10 years of age wearing fur clothes, he simply smiled and walked towards him despite the warning. Then the young began to panic and raised the wooden sword he was carrying towards Ji Yun.

At the moment some village elders came out hearing the young boy's shout, a tall bear-like figure came ahead and asked the youth, "Yi'er why are you shouting, what happened?".

"Uncle Drake, see a youngster came to our village". Young boy name Yi pointed his hands towards Ji Yun.

Ji Yun came forward and said to the group of villagers, "Hello, I am from the golden academy of talents who came to hunt and kill the chakra beast lurking near your village."

"Thank goodness, at least they sent someone. Respected Young Lord, I am this village's head, Drake. Please come this way, you can freshen up in our guest house then we can speak and please don't take any offense if the child Yi spoke any disrespectful words". When the bear-like figure spoke this courteous words, Ji Yun had an uncanny feeling; Then Ji Yun entered the small room-sized house to bath and brush his teeth.

Outside,

"Uncle Drake is he someone powerful, why did you give him so much respect. I don't like it". Young boy name Yi complained to drake.

"Child Yi, you shouldn't disrespect any cultivators, that young lord must be someone powerful to be sent here to kill the bear beast. Surely he has a good temper, if you had met someone with a bad temper, you would be dead by now". Uncle Drake explained in low voice.

"But will he be able to kill the Beast?", Yi asked in a suspicious tone.

"I also don't know about that, I thought they would send 4 or 5 people to kill it but didn't expect they would only send a single warrior. I only hope he is someone powerful", Uncle Drake said.

Ji Yun freshened up within a few minutes and came out to meet the village head. Seeing Ji Yun came out,

"Young Lord, is everything inside to your liking?", Drake asked in low voice afraid of provoking him.

"Village Head, I am younger than most of you here so just calling me Ji Yun will suffice". Ji Yun insisted on equal treatment.

"It's not a respect of senior to junior, its a respect given by weak to strong. If young lord doesn't like being called this way, then I will call as Young master". Drake hurriedly responded, hearing this he couldn't say anything so he let him decide how to call.

"Village Head, explain me about the overall situation which happened here and when it begin?". Ji Yun requested the village chief.

"Young Master, It happened 5 days back; when two of my villager finished their wood cutting work and was returning to the village but suddenly attacked by the bear type beast and one of them is instantly killed by the bear-like beast, the other one escaped since the beast is not interested in killing him. After that, we will occasionally hear the beast roar near the village but till now it hasn't attacked our village, due to this we couldn't even leave the village".

"Is this the first time, animals attacked your village or does similar incident happened before?". Ji Yun questioned after thinking for some time. Actually, he has a doubt that there must something near the village which would attract the chakra beast, that why he asked this question.

"No, Young master this is the first time. But some low-level beast comes near the village but we can easily fend off it. Since the village was built some distance from the forest, no high-level beast will come and attack, this is the first time it happened". After hearing the reply, Ji Yun was not sure whether his conjecture is correct or not, he can only search the area to find any clue.

"OK, you guys don't have to worry, I will try my best to kill it. Can you ask the survivor who saw the bear beast to come and meet me?", Ji Yun encouragingly told the villagers.

"Yes", Village head replied and made his way to one of the houses to call the survivor.

Soon a man around 28 or 29 years of age came from one of the houses and walked towards Ji Yun, he can even see his face is little pale and his hands are shivering till now due to his trauma of near death. He came before Ji Yun respectfully bowed and greeted,

"Young Master"

"Can you tell me about the details you saw that day, like its size, strength, and anything you remember". Ji Yun questioned the man.

"Yes, Young master. Its appearance is like that of a bear but its double the size of any bear I have seen in my life, it has very tough skin and was easily able to kill my partner with a single paw attack. Then I ran for my life, so I couldn't see anything after that". Saying this the man began to cry and slowly mumbled 'I couldn't even save my partner'.

Ji Yun also didn't ask any questions after that, he directly asked the village head about the direction of the recent beast roar they heard. And he also got one nice longsword from village head and set off towards the direction pointed by the Drake.
