Chapter 12 - A tempermental teacher

Shen walks into the class to see three empty chairs and a large board parallel to it.

"Shen come take a seat," Monsoon said in a sweet tone of voice.

Shin took the middle seat and looked up at monsoon. The light coming through the window in stark contrast to her short pitch-black hair. she had a bow in her hair the same blue color as her eyes, which seemed to shine in the light. Shen looked at her and thought 'she looks like she is about the same age as me' She looked no older than 17 to 19 years old, but she was quite short.

*Slap* She closed the book on her desk "Now then" She said pulling her hair over her ear. "I'd like to know. Why has the king has taken a special interest in you?" She said curiously.

Shen stayed silent. one of the rules given to him by Hydris that he stay quiet of his past.

"Very well then," Monsoon said while giving out a sigh.

"What do you know about medtron as a whole" Monsoon said.

"Truly. I know nothing about the region and would appreciate someone of your caliber to teach me, "Shen thought that if he bootlicked enough she would forget the question of his past.

"Flattery will get you, nowhere boy," she said coldly "Now let me explain. You are in the water capital of the world. this place is well known to be a prosperous place, this is the best place for cultivation in the world when it comes to water. and the people are very prideful about this capital so be wary of arrogance." monsoon said while walking closer to Shen

[attack imminent]

"We practice water day in and day out," She said walking slowly.

Shen felt something wet on his foot and it slowly went up to his leg.

He looked down in a panic to see a tentacle of water grabbing his leg up to his knee.

Shin tried to move away but its grip was tight, And before he knew it he was upside down with his while body bound by water.

Shen struggled, But couldn't move an inch. He tried to scream, But the water covers his mouth like a hand."Now then I am sorry to be rude. but just understand I don't take kindly to disobedient students. So next time I ask a question you answer do you understand?' She said with a wry smile on her lips.

Shen nodded "Good. Now be ready for your lesson tomorrow" As she said that the water lost its grip and dropped him to the ground and evaporated.

"I am going to teach you how to use magic and how to cultivate as well as help with comprehension." she handed him a book." This is what you will learn first"

Shen read the title *introduction to magic* "Your real lessons will begin one month from now. I expect you to exercise a lot during this period. the use of magic is very draining and your small, skinny body couldn't handle it. So for now we will study concepts" Monsoon stated

"But you're like half my size. how come you-" before he could finish his sentence. a blade of ice passed by his ear at blinding speed.

"what was that??" Monsoon said glaring daggers at Shen "NOTHING!" Shen yelped

"Now then. Here follow this to the letter. Do not skip a day. Understood?"Monsoon added,

"Yes teacher." Shen bowed

As Shin left the room he looked at the paper given to him it was nothing but an exercise regiment "Does she think I haven't tried this before?" But the last thing on the page was a book she listed for Shen to check out of the library *introduction to cultivation* Shen thought back to the wolfs he needed cultivation essence back then was this the way to get it? He was about to rush to the library but stopped. because he didn't where it was.

"Need help, Shen?" Sebastian chimed in

"Oh yes thank you" Shen was surprised he didn't even see Sebastian in the hall and didn't hear him walk up. "What do you need?" Sebastian asked

"Oh to the library" Shen responded with haste "Ok follow me" Sebastian lead the way and Shen followed.
