Chereads / Dual Cultivation: Rebirth / Chapter 2 - Tensions arise amidst the excitement general

Chapter 2 - Tensions arise amidst the excitement general

I don't understand - I simply can't understand this situation.

How is this possible that my knowledge on this subject is inexact? I mean, I find it hardly possible that my uncle lied to me all these days without me knowing or that his books were all but lies. So, if it's not an error from his books then ... the only explanation plausible is: the professor is wrong.

BUT WHY ?!

Haa gosh! My back and my hands and are all drenched in sweat due to this! This is really scary!

AAAH! I need to calm down - but more importantly, I NEED to clarify this situation! —

"... and so, this is the reason why as of today in 3879, we have five techniques that permit us to seal our evil souls! Yeah I know it's really a blessing to be born as a human, I mean, we are the only ones that won against the gods! And it's thanks to those unparalleled geniuses who were experts in the field of the "spiritual energy"! Let me tell you! Some of them could even cultivate without the help of their evil! — *cough*, *cough* — Let me catch my breath. Two seconds— *cough*!"

"Teacher are you alright ?!"

Tch, just look at them listening to him. This sickens me. All I can see right now is a band of blind devotees who attend the mass.

Hey Professor! If you want to create a cult of some sort you should at least wait and do it outside of the school! Don't teach this way!

Mhh!

I just can't take it anymore! I'll just barge in and mark a stop to their mass then.

"Yeah yeah no problem. I - *cough* - It's normal, I'm always like that when I get too excited. But seriously guys and girls! As I can see from your attitude when listening, you just don't understand how amazing this is! Humph! If those people could cultivate without their evil soul ... just imagine what would happen if they were to cultivate with both of them! At that time they would no longer be simple cultivators but Du-"

"Dual cultivators!!"

I got up from my chair in a hurried way while screaming with all my lungs those two words!

"Eh?"

But ... this was not part of my plan at all! I planned to just listen to him and then find a way to ask my question before he could finish his monologue! But for some reasons suddenly my mind turned into a blend of anger and excitement.

I really don't know why! What he was saying was not even that exciting.

"Wha—?! Lala Delmon!! Why are you interrupting your professor like that! At your age, you should be more sensi—"

"sensible and calm toward others. I know yes."

Tch; Those words of yours, you should keep them for you. I'm not your typical caring, sensible -or whatever- girl! I'm me!

Harumph!!

Anyways as I can see right now, everyone's attention is on me and this is becoming embarrassing for me. I should try to turn the situation in my favor now that I have caused this ruckus. And while I'm there I'll also ask him my question.

"Professor excuse me for my rudeness but I was a little too excited. I sincerely hope you will not blame me for this."

"You really have some guts!", Professor Galmon is really angry this time! His face is red from anger and his brows are tightly locked. Haaa, I'm done for—

"But! Now that you say so... I think you are right because, when you screamed just now, I thought for a second that I was seeing mys— *cough* an old friend of mine. I can't blame someone with your sincerity."

"Thank you! Profes—"

"But! It doesn't mean that you can do that in the future! You need to stay calm even though - and I can relate that - it's hard sometimes to hold back. Who will want you as a wife in the future if you act like that?"

"Pff-Whaahaha! "

"Haha, did you hear that Lala? Stay calm!"

Now everyone is laughing at me and what's more, I'm blushing! I'm deeply thankful Professor for this remark!

This humiliation... I'll have you pay for it!

"Hey? Did I see wrong? Is our proud Lala blushing? Damn, this world is really broken!"

"Haha! You're right Dex! This is hilarious!"

"Dex! Who do you think you are to disrespect me in front of everyone?! Have you no sense of shame? Doing this while I and Professor Galmon are having a conversation. This is utterly disrespecting!"

*Harrumph*!

Just look at his face, the more I spoke and the more his face was disturbed. Now his face if that of someone who has severe indigestion! Tss, he just got a taste of his own medicine, this douche!

"W-What —", Haha! His voice turned shrill all of sudden! He is a bird! Hahaha! If I don't control myself I might burst out laughing and discredit myself!

Haaa, This is - Ha!I was going to say that this is relieving my stress but I almost forgot about my question because of him!!

I'll have to put an end to this roasting because my instinct tells me the professor is going to stop us.

"Now now you two! Dex present your excuses for Lala! And you Lala, you should be less vicious when speaking to someone! Even if the person isn't your friend!"

Excuse me but you were the one at fault in the first place... Anyways. I'll just node in approval because I'm tired of this. I just want to ask my question and go home now!

"Hm! Excuse me ... Lala.", was what Dex said to me while being embarrassed. Well, it's not like I'll really accept them anyways.

"Accepted.", while saying that I shifted my gaze toward Professor Galmon and said, "Professor I have a question. it's about the 5 seals."

"Hm? Ask it quickly. Because I might not have the time to answer. We lost so much of our precious minutes of class today..."

...I can't really say anything other than "Yes...". Because I played my part in this loss.

"I wanted to ask: This there are five seals. Why don't we have a seal for each level of cultivation and one more seal for the criminals? "

"Well... it is said that the seals are always sufficiently strong to subdue our evil. No matter what. And that those cultivation levels are attainable just by those real geniuses or the Dual cultivators. You have probably already guessed that I have never seen anyone who has a level of cultivation superior to the "fundamental level". I also heard legends saying that in order to make a breakthrough you generally need a strong understanding of the "spiritual energy" that resides this world and that you might even need special items extremely precious! Haaa I'll probably not see one true cultivator in my lifetime. This is my only regret ..."

"But when I-"

—RING!

Ha?! F*ck ! This bad luck!

"Ok! So no homework for the next time! Ho and have happy holidays everyone!"

"You too!"

"Thanks! You too professor!"

... That was an unexpected answer and I didn't have the time to tell him about the books...

*sigh*

I'll have to find uncle. But not now, I'm too tired to go there. It's the beginning of the holidays - the winter holidays - I think I'll start them with a good rest at home. I'm hungry too... a roasted Dex won't be enough to appease me. My head is spinning... I'm so tired.

"Goodbye Professor. And thank you for your answer!"

"Ho- yeah! Have good holidays Lala!"

"You too!"

And like that, I walked out of the class despised. But whatever, I'll soon have my answer anyways!
