A month passed, Hazuki and Ying Yueru are already on the 35th floor. Hazuki wants to get into the Hell Train but the next expedition is still 3 years away.
So he contacted the Floor Guardian first and asked him where is the Hell Train currently at.
His response was, "The Hell Train isn't controlled by us, Floor Guardians. It's a unique existence in the Tower and even I, the Floor Guardian, wouldn't be able to locate the Hell Train. Furthermore, the Hell Train isn't stopping its journey, currently, it might be traveling freely through the 35th to 44th floor or it might be traveling in 'Hell'."
Hazuki felt troubled since he couldn't sense the Train because he hasn't seen it yet. Furthermore, the aura's on the floor are all similar and he can feel no abnormality such as the Hell Train.
Hazuki looked at the Floor Guardian and asked him something that would shock all the living beings in the Tower. "Hey, Floor Guardian, can you let me use your authority over the Shinsu on this floor? Don't worry since I'm only looking for the Hell Train."
The Floor Guardian stared at Hazuki for a certain period of time before he replied. "Okay, but only for a few seconds."
Suddenly, a streak of light escaped from the Floor Guardian's body and entered Hazuki's forehead.
That is the authority and the Floor Guardian trusted Hazuki because of the look in his eyes.
That's because compared to the other Floor Guardians', the Floor Guardian here on the 35th floor learned how to converse properly with humans since he/she is always guiding them to the Hell Train. He can also perceive the emotions on Hazuki's eyes and he also took Hazuki's contract with the twentieth-floor guardian into consideration. Shinsu would supposedly 'leave' Hazuki if he tried to do anything malicious to a neutral floor guardian.
After Hazuki received the authority, he immediately spread out his senses using the Floor's Shinsu as a medium. The Floor's Shinsu became something like Hazuki's hands and he can perceive everything happening on the floor.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find the large construct, Hell Train, anywhere on the 35th Floor. So he returned the authority back to the Floor Guardian and said. "Here, I'm done. I can't find it anywhere on the floor so I have to ascend and try to search for it there too."
"Floor Guardian, do I still need to take a test?" Hazuki asked.
"No need, you already passed." The Floor Guardian replied. His opinion of Hazuki improved since he saw the sincerity in Hazuki. Of course, that might also be because he's afraid of the Shinsu 'leaving' him but Hazuki's casual look erased all of the Floor Guardian's thoughts.
'He isn't greedy for the Floor's authority... He's different from Jahad who got blinded by falsehood.'After receiving his rewards, Hazuki immediately ascended at fast speeds since he needs to find the Hell Train.
He went up to the 36th floor and asked the Floor Guardian the same thing.
The Floor Guardian, obviously, rejected and insisted that he wouldn't hand it over even for a few seconds without assurance.
So Hazuki made a contract once again that states; He mustn't take the authority for himself if the contract is violated, the Floor Guardian is free to decide about the punishment.
Of course, Hazuki agreed since he wouldn't really take it for himself. Even if the Floor Guardian asked for all of his fortunes, he wouldn't care since he wouldn't violate the contract anyway.
The result was quite disappointing since he also couldn't sense the Hell Train anywhere on the 36th-floor. He returned the authority and immediately went up to the next floor.
Asking the same thing, Hazuki succeeded in making the 37th-floor Guardian by another contract.
As he was meticulously searching through the Floor, Hazuki suddenly found something out of the ordinary.
He's sure that this is the Hell Train since its a large moving object traveling at fast speeds. Well, the location is quite problematic since its already heading towards something and Hazuki is sure that it would disappear once the Train entered that portal-like space.
He returned the authority and immediately went outside of the Guardian's domain. He took Ying Yueru inside his Kamui Dimension and he immediately teleported himself in front of the Train.
As soon as Hazuki appeared, a gigantic behemoth was already traveling towards him at extreme speeds, ignoring Hazuki who's on its way.
Hazuki couldn't enter the Train through his portal directly since its aura was concealed by the Train itself. The Shinsu inside is trapped and Hazuki couldn't sense anything inside other than the Train itself.
So he made an alternative and entered the Train through his Kamui. He let the train strike himself and Hazuki phased through the outer shell of the train in order to get inside.
As soon as he went in, Hazuki immediately saw the innards of the Train. Tall ceiling and gigantic hallways made entirely of steel. Many paths, leading somewhere connected and Hazuki could now, finally sense everything inside the Tower. The only downside is, he couldn't properly sense the outside of the Tower. It's as if his senses were dulled when he's trying to sense the outside but his senses were clear as he tried to sense the insides of the Train.
Quite an uncomfortable feeling for Hazuki because ever since his senses were honed, he got used to sensing everything around him, and losing it suddenly made Hazuki irritated.
After observing the Train for a few seconds, Hazuki brought Ying Yueru out of the Kamui dimension and walked through the hallways with her.
"Where is this, Hazuki?" Ying Yueru casually asked while she's observing everything she can see. She can consciously feel something drawing her in and her instincts are telling her that it's very important for her.
"This is the Hell Train, considered a shortcut for Regulars trying to climb the 35th-floor to the 44th-floor. In fact, we shouldn't be able to board this Train at this time since this time only accepts' Regulars every five years. There are still three more years if we want to board the Hell Train 'regularly'. Of course, we are able to board this because of my exceptional abilities, unlike your guide skills that we haven't even used a single time." Hazuki said with a smirk.
Ying Yueru puffed her cheeks and rained punches on Hazuki. "You idiot! How am I supposed to use it when you don't even need it! And for your information, I am using it! It's just that every path you enter is the right path so I wasn't mentioning it to you!"
Hazuki chuckled and led the way towards the most powerful aura he could feel. Of course, Hazuki can just teleport there but he wants to observe the Hell Train more since its an existence that can hinder Shinsu flow from the outside.
An hour later, Hazuki and Ying Yueru arrived in front of a light blue-colored, large button-like thing embedded on the ground. Hazuki could feel that the God of Guardians is on the other side of this warp. Ying Yueru could also feel that this is the place, which her instincts are telling her to go.
As soon as they entered the warp, Hazuki and Ying Yueru plummeted from the Ground. It seems like this 'warp' is not really a warp but a thin membrane leading to an underground place.
Hazuki and Ying Yueru landed safely on the ground, they looked ahead and saw a large bowl-like structure made entirely of a certain metal.
Atop of the bowl-like thing, a giant man was sitting with his arms crossed in front of his chest while looking at them with a grim expression.
Hazuki walked forward, followed by Ying Yueru, then said. "The God of Guardians, nice to meet you. I am here to ask you a favor, let my girl enter that 'Rice pot' thing to undergo 'Revolution' and teach her the Shinsu black-hole sphere."
"Hmm... Okay since your request aligns with my existence's purpose." The God of Guardians replied. He was created for the sole purpose of training the people who 'opened the Tower's door by themself'.
"Still, it's surprising to find two Irregulars entering the Tower. Moreover, it seems like the two of you know each other even before entering..." The God of Guardians muttered then he looked at Hazuki seriously. Ever since he was created, the God of Guardians never saw anyone, who gave off this kind of power, appear. Even Urek was many times behind from Hazuki, who gave him chills.
"Come with me, little girl." The God of Guardians said as he entered the 'Rice pot'. He didn't even consider inviting Hazuki since the latter doesn't need it anymore. He already found his power and there's no 'hidden power' on him anymore. Furthermore, he wasn't sure if he's capable of making Hazuki feel 'mortal fear' enough to awaken his 'True Self'.
Ying Yueru looked at Hazuki and said. "Will you stay here while I'm inside that 'Rice Pot' thing?"Hazuki chuckled and said. "Of course not, I will enter together with you. I'll converse with the God of Guardians while you are undergoing 'Revolution'." Then he carried Ying Yueru in a princess carry and entered the 'Rice pot'.
As soon as they entered, the God of Guardians stared at Hazuki oddly and said. "You said I only need to let your lover undergo 'Revolution'? Why are you here?" Ying Yueru might not experience utter loneliness in the face of death with Hazuki here.
"Isn't it obvious? Even if I don't need to undergo 'Revolution', I'm still interested in learning that Shinsu black-hole sphere." Hazuki said as he rolled his eyes at the God of Guardians.
"Get out first since she might not be able to enter 'Revolution' with you here." The God of Guardians said.
'Oh d*mn, I forgot this thing!' Hazuki thought as he scratched his head. Then he kissed Ying Yueru for the last time before leaving the 'Rice Pot'. "Call me in or get outside once she's inside the 'Revolution'!" Hazuki left these words for the God of Guardians.
The God of Guardians nodded as he stared back at Ying Yueru. "Are you ready for your 'Revolution'?"
Ying Yueru stared at the God of Guardians as she asked. "What is this 'Revolution' you are talking about?" She couldn't help but be curious since they are talking about it after they got in this place. Also, this is the thing which her instincts are telling her to experience, how could she not be curious about it?
"It's a process where you must find your 'True self' instead of your 'false self'. The true self, which is not how you are in the eyes of the others but what you truly are. And in order to find your true self, you need to become completely alone and it wouldn't be bad to die once to be so." Suddenly the surrounding Shinsu became lively and a strong gust of Shinsu drowned Ying Yueru.
Ying Yueru wanted to resist using Shinsu but she found out that her usage of Shinsu became limited and it's already too late to switch with Heavenly Energy.
Soon, Ying Yueru was surrounded by an aura with a blue hue. Her eyes were closed peacefully and her aura was fluctuating once in a while.
The God of Guardians waited until her state stabilized and after that, he went out to see Hazuki.
As for Ying Yueru, she immediately saw her supposedly 'True self' as soon as she entered. That's because the state she's in was similar to cultivation. Her mind is clear and she is alone in her mindscape.
In front of her was a deity-like being who radiates a warm aura. "Child, you are finally here. Come with me and I'll show you your 'True self'."
While Ying Yueru was undergoing her 'Revolution', Hazuki was seated in front of the 'Rice pot'.
Suddenly, a silhouette jumped out of the 'Rice Pot', revealing the gigantic God of Guardians as he landed.
The God of Guardians shrunk himself and sat a few meters away from Hazuki. He said, "So, you want to learn the Shinsu black-hole sphere, Irregular Hazuki?"
"Don't be so stiff, God of Guardians, I'm not here to disturb the Train." Hazuki chuckled as he waved his hands in front of him.
"And of course, I need to learn a useful thing like that once in a while." Hazuki replied.
"Okay then." Suddenly a baang appeared in the God of Guardians' hand. The baang was small but
Hazuki could feel a decent amount of Shinsu condensed in that baang.
Hazuki created his own version of the Shinsu black-hole sphere too. On his hand, the Shinsu gathered and formed a Rasengan-like Shinsu orb.
"!!!" The God of Guardians was shocked as he stared at the orb in Hazuki's hand. 'He immediately grasped the essence in his first try?! What a monster!'
Hazuki created a few more baangs of the Black-hole sphere and compared each of them to the other. He observed which has the best result among the baangs he created.
Soon, the black-hole spheres around him disappeared, leaving only two baang in front of him.
The two baangs were different from each other in appearance but each has its own advantages. The first baang is circle-shaped and a few more circles were circulating inside of it. Such concentration would maximize his fire-power with lower costs and efforts. Of course, Hazuki could do this because of his monstrous Shinsu control, his level of control was already unparalleled in this Tower.
The second one is shaped like an ice shard. It's still a 'black-hole sphere' but Hazuki modified its appearance. Maintaining this kind of appearance is harder than just keeping its circle shape since he needs to shape and concentrate it aggressively. Such a 'Black-hole sphere' can maximize his piercing power and apply the explosion effect after piercing the target.
Of course, these are only 'models' and Hazuki could still improve them by leaps and bounds. For example, simply injecting it with Heavenly Chakra would make its power skyrocket. Applying different nature-transformation could also yield different results. Using it as a Ki blast is also possible since they are all 'condensing' type of skill.
When the God of Guardians saw Hazuki meddling with the fundamentals of the 'Black-hole sphere'. he was stunned silly. 'After learning it in a day, he wasn't satisfied yet and modified the skill right in front of the creator's face?!'
The God of Guardians could only laugh dryly as he could describe what he is feeling. The absurdness he's feeling is already through the roof and he can only force himself to accept the fact that the person in front of his face was a different kind of monster than other Irregulars.
"Thank you for 'teaching' me this skill, God of Guardians. This will prove useful in the future." Hazuki said with a smile.
Hazuki's smile ticked the God of Guardians and the latter shouted in embarrassment. "Stop it! You're making my face burn from embarrassment!"
Hazuki laughed as he saw the God of Guardians getting annoyed by his simple 'tease'.
The God of Guardians regained himself after a few seconds then he said solemnly. "You are such an absurd existence, Irregular Hazuki but I think you are the Tower's solution. You will play a big role in fixing the Tower and that's the reason why the Tower let you in."
Hazuki stared at him with half-closed eyes and thought. 'Well, it's not really me but Bam. I forcefully came here through the Goddess' power so I didn't really 'open the doors' by myself.'
"Don't worry since I am already on my journey to clean up those 'kids' mess." Hazuki said. The 'kids' he's referring to are Jahad and the 10 family leaders.
The God of Guardians saw Jahad and the 10 family leaders rise so he definitely perceived the changes on them. Jahad lost his 'True self' and accepted his 'false self' while the others became Jahad's underlings.
"I am counting on you for that." The God of Guardians said grimly. He was created by the Workshop in order to guide Jahad and the 10 family leaders, Irregulars to be exact, and he couldn't help but feel responsible for what they turned out to be.
He gave them power and that power blinded them causing them to ruin the Tower. Only the Tower's revitalization could erase the sense of responsibility on the God of Guardians.
"Then I'll go first, God of Guardians. I still need to clear the previous Floor Guardians' tests. I'll leave a clone here, make sure to inform it once Ying'er comes out of her 'Revolution'." Hazuki made a shadow clone and had it stand by in order to inform hin once Ying Yueru leaves the 'Rice Pot'. Then Hazuki teleported outside of the Hell Train and Teleported himself once again to the 36th-floor Guardian.
Due to the lack of time, Hazuki didn't take their test and immediately left the floor after seeing that the Hell Train wasn't there. Now that he already found the Train, Hazuki would go back in order to complete the tests.
-----A month later.-----
During this month, Hazuki cleared 26 floors. Well, that's because he's bored since Ying Yueru is still undergoing the 'Revolution'. Without her company, Hazuki has nothing to do other than clear the Floors.
Currently, Hazuki's on 62nd-floor. He's walking around the residential area of the floor when suddenly, his clone informed him of Ying Yueru's awakening.
He immediately teleported in front of the 'Rice Pot', leaving all the matters at hand. Well, even though he couldn't sense the Train, he can still teleport there for a few reasons. First, Hazuki already 'marked' the Train which means that he can teleport there from anywhere since he already went there. Second, Ying Yueru is there, the Train might be able to hinder Shinsu from inside but it definitely can't hinder Ying Yueru's unique aura made from Heavenly Energy. And lastly, he has a clone there, how dumb would he be if he couldn't even teleport to that place with his clone standing around the area?
As soon as he went out of the Portal, Hazuki heard Ying Yueru conversing with the God of Guardians.
"Were you able to find the 'Real' you?" The God of Guardians asked. He felt that something was different from Ying Yueru but he couldn't quite put his hand into it. It felt as if Ying Yueru became holy and the aura she's emitting was pure and untainted.
Hazuki didn't enter the 'Rice Pot' yet since it doesn't really matter if he entered or not. For now, he'll just stay outside and listen to their conversation. Well, this can also be considered as 'eavesdropping'.
"I don't know if that's my 'True self' since I already knew that part of me..." Ying Yueru replied. What she saw in her mindscape was a deity-looking being but Ying Yueru, as a Divinator, could feel that there's something wrong with the being. It's as if the being is leading her somewhere else that is not her True destination, so she decided to go along with him and probe.
After an unknown amount of time inside, Ying Yueru finally finished probing and she broke away from the deity-looking entity. Once she did so, the deity-looking entity panicked and immediately tried to persuade Ying Yueru through the allure of power, fame, and 'happiness'.
Ying Yueru rejected it since she already found all of those and ignored the deity-looking entity. She walked around her mindscape for a few days, trying to search for her 'True Self'.
After a few days of searching, Ying Yueru finally found something odd about her mindscape. The odd thing is that there's nothing in there! She finally realized that everything was a trap in the first place, there's no 'True Self' here since she already achieved that a long time ago!
'Virtuous like water, for water does not compete!' This sentence held an even deeper meaning here in the Tower since the 'Water'(Shinsu) is the origin of all things!
As soon as she realized this, Ying Yueru exited the 'Revolution Road'. Once she did so, she could feel that her control of Shinsu improved once again! It's as if the surrounding Shinsu were innately favorable towards her and was willing to be used by her!
"Already knew that part of 'you'? How so?" Even the God of Guardians was perplexed with a tinge of shock.
'She already found her 'True self' even before entering the Tower?! If that's true, then those Kids are nothing but kids in front of this girl and that man!'
"Well, I hailed from a place where we are meditating in peace in order to understand the essence of the world. In that state of meditation, our mind must be clear from thoughts, and from that, we attempt to gain insights on the world's power. And I already achieved one of the highest state of mind in our realm, 'Virtuous like water, for water does not compete'. It's the state of indifference to worldly matters since we are already capable of seeing destiny itself." Ying Yueru said without even trying to hide anything. Well, not like they can cultivate in this realm and only the God of Guardians can hear her right now.
Hearing her explanation, the God of Guardians was even more stunned. 'Gain insights on the world's power through meditation?! Capable of seeing through destiny itself?! Are all the people living outside of the Tower monsters?! Even though guides can lead people to the 'right path', they can only see 'paths'. They will never be able to look into the destiny of the people they are guiding themselves much less seeing through the destiny of everyone!'
As he thought of these, the God of Guardians shook his head. He thought that it'd be better to leave all of these shocking matters on the back of his head since it'll only cause him headaches if he continued thinking about it.
"Looks like you only needed to realize the fact that you've already found your 'True self'... *Sigh*, now you only need to learn how to use the 'Shinsu black-hole sphere' then we'll be done here." The God of Guardians stated.
Ying Yueru nodded and suddenly said with a mischievous tone. "Hey, Hazuki, how long do you plan on staying outside? You can come inside rather than eavesdropping from our conversation."
Her perception became stronger since she can also access the surrounding Shinsu to search. Well, Hazuki wasn't really trying to hide his presence and that's also a factor why Ying Yueru was able to sense him.
Hazuki entered the 'Rice Pot' and he immediately went to Ying Yueru. They hugged for a few seconds before separating from each other then Hazuki left Ying Yueru to train by herself. He's watching from the sidelines, observing Ying Yueru train.
In just a few hours, Ying Yueru was able to create a Shinsu Black-hole sphere. Well, that should be normal for her since she already has experience in controlling 'energies'. Controlling Heavenly Energy is more difficult since you must have the affinity in order to make it move according to your will and Ying Yueru is one of the most proficient in controlling it in the Skysoul Institute.
Her talents in controlling energy are better here since she's innately blessed by the Shinsu because of her status as an Irregular. The abundant Shinsu in the air can also be a factor in her fast learning since she can control it like her hands. Well, it's better to say that the Shinsu is heeding all of her requests.
"*Sigh*, you can go now since you already gained everything beneficial here in the Train..." The God of Guardians said tiredly.
Hazuki smiled at the God of Guardians and said. "Yeah, thank you, God of Guardians."
Ying Yueru also said her thanks then she went out of the 'Rice Pot' with Hazuki.
As they were walking out of the God of Guardians' personal room, Ying Yueru asked. "So, where are we going now? Continue climbing the Tower? Or rest for a while?"
Hazuki smirked evilly before saying. "Of course, we are going to 'rest' for a while." Then Hazuki scooped Ying Yueru from the Ground and teleported them to their current room in the 62nd-floor.
Hazuki threw Ying Yueru on the bed then... *The details will be omitted*
-----A day later.-----
After getting up from the bed, Hazuki washed in the bathroom before waiting for Ying Yueru to finish bathing.
An hour later, Hazuki and Ying Yueru were now fully dressed and they are all ready towards their new journey.
"Just where are we going? Didn't you say that we'll rest for three days before returning to climbing the Tower?" Ying Yueru grumbled.
Hazuki chuckled then he replied. "Well, we aren't really returning to climbing, Ying'er. We are going to visit an acquaintance in the lower floors so you can consider this as relaxation."
"Okay... If that's what you want. But Hazuki, who are we going to visit on the lower floors? We didn't even befriend a single person after coming here in the Tower so who...?" Ying Yueru asked puzzledly. The only people they, barely, knew are Bam's team. But why would Hazuki visit that Kid, when they only met almost three times?
"What you are thinking is correct, Ying'er. We'll visit that kid and see what is happening to him." Hazuki said as he made a portal right in front of Yu Hansung.
Ying Yueru didn't calculate Bam's destiny that's why she didn't know what happened to Bam. 'Now that I thought about it, that kid is somewhat special since he's also an Irregular like us...'
A few seconds later, Hazuki and Ying Yueru walked out of the portal, appearing directly on Yu Hansung's office. The latter is currently sitting behind his tea table, pouring instant coffee on hot water.
Yu Hansung looked up and met Hazuki's eyes in the process. Yu Hansng flinched and the instant coffee spilled on the tea table.
"You scared me, Mister Hazuki! What are you doing here?" Yu Hansung asked with a stiff smile. 'That was a precious Instant coffee...!'
Hazuki directly sat in front of Yu Hansung. Ying Yueru followed and also sat beside Hazuki.
"Don't be so stiff, Yu Hansung. So, did you successfully hide the kid?" Hazuki asked.
Yu Hansung nodded and replied. "Yes, we successfully hid him under the 'chaos' you created." Yu Hansung caught the news about Hazuki's actions on the 30th-floor. Such a big commotion definitely wouldn't escape the FUG's radar.
Yu Hansung was now sure that this Irregular is definitely stronger than anyone he had met. 'He freaking tied against three of the top-rankers for god's sake!'
Hazuki chuckled then he continued. "So, did you like the chaos I did? Quite a good news for FUG, right? But tell them to avoid bothering me since I don't want to be involved with those crazy bastards."
"By the way, where is Bam currently located? After all, that's the reason why I came here." Hazuki added.
Yu Hansung broke out of his thoughts and he immediately revealed a flattering smile. "Please follow me, I'll lead you there myself." Then Yu Hansung stood up and walked towards a secluded area hidden underground.
A few minutes later, they arrived in an underground dome-like cave. Rocks crumbling could be heard even before they arrived at Bam's location.
A few seconds later, they arrived in a dark cave with a rock golem fighting against a kid. That kid is Bam and there's also another person in the area.
Hazuki looked at the side and saw a tall, slender man with brown hair and brown eyes. He's wearing a simple black long sleeve polo, smoking while watching Bam fight against the rock golem.
Suddenly, the man turned his head towards Hazuki and their eyes met. The man's expression suddenly turned grim and he asked Yu Hansung. "Hey, Yu Hansung, just who's this monster that you brought?"
Jinsung Ha is not just a High-ranker, he's also a master martial artist and he has an acute sense of danger towards someone strong. Moreover, he is from the 'Ha' family which specializes in body techniques and Jinsung Ha could feel the terrifying amount of power hidden beneath Hazuki's lean frame.
Yu Hansung then introduced them to Jinsung Ha. "This Mister is Hazuki Hayate and beside him is his lover, Ying Yueru. They are here to check on the Irregular's status." Then Yu Hansung whispered something on Jinsung Ha's ears. "Be careful, they are also Irregulars. Moreover, they are the 'culprits' regarding the 30th-floor incident."
Jinsung Ha was stunned as he heard Yu Hansung. 'They are those 'monsters'?! Looks like I am finally meeting a true Irregular...'
Hazuki came in front of Jinsung Ha and offered a handshake. "My name's Hazuki Hayate, nice to meet you, Jinsung Ha."
Hazuki was quite favorable towards this person's character since he's someone who values relationships. Just from the fact that he eliminated a branch of his clan in order to exact vengeance for the girl he loved and also the fact that he's willing to risk his life for his student, earned Hazuki's admiration.
Jinsung Ha took the handshake and also introduced himself formally.
*Boom!* The Rock Golem suddenly exploded and Bam looked at Jinsung Ha with a resolute gaze.
'It seems like Bam already learned the Flare Wave Explosion...' Hazuki thought as he also saw Bam looking at him since he's beside Jinsung Ha.
Bam was stunned after seeing Hazuki beside his master. 'Why is he here? Didn't he already pass the test a month before we could take ours...?'
"Hey, long time no see, Bam, or should I call you Viole now?" Hazuki said.
Bam was frozen as Hazuki seems to know everything that is happening to him. 'Is he also from Fug...? How could that be? He entered the Tower after me so how could he have the time to become a member of FUG...?'
Bam panted after arriving near his master. This is the first time he successfully executed a Flare Wave Explosion enough to crush the Rock Golem.
"Good Job, Viole. Just a little more practice and you'll master the Flare Wave Explosion." Jinsung Ha said calmly but Hazuki could feel sympathy coming from Jinsung Ha.
Hazuki shook his head and he asked Yu Hansung. "Yu Hansung, you can leave us here. I want to talk to Bam and his master alone." Well, he's not really asking since he's already glaring at Yu Hansung.
"O-okay! I'll be w-waiting in my office then!" Yu Hansung immediately bolted away after finishing his sentence.
After Yu Hansung left, Hazuki created a barrier enough to encase the 10 square meters around them. People outside cannot see them or hear their conversation.
"So Bam, do you want the power that can instantly make you stronger? Enough for you to become a 'God'." Hazuki narrowed his eyes as he said these words to Bam.
Jinsung Ha and Bam were both puzzled and stunned by the development.
Jinsung Ha: 'He came here to help Bam? But that's not it since he implied Bam becoming a slayer once he received the power...'
Bam was hesitating since he might fall into an even bigger hole if he accepted the offer carelessly.
"Of course, this power is also enough to prevent you from 'Saying Goodbyes' anymore." Hazuki added.
All hesitations disappeared from Bam and he immediately stared at Hazuki with a determined gaze. "Please teach me!"
Bam assumed that Hazuki will also teach him since Jinsung Ha did so, once he offered him the power to become a 'God'.
Hazuki chuckled with glee as his gaze at Bam became even more friendly. He also stared at Jinsung Ha before offering. "Jinsung Ha, this offer is also open for you. Do you want even more power in order to protect everything you have? Think about it, after receiving this power, your power will immediately rise and you can 'stay' beside your students for a longer time."
Jinsung Ha stared at Hazuki seriously since even he couldn't think of anything that will enhance the power of a High-ranker. High-rankers can only get stronger through age or by learning more arts and it seems that the power Hazuki is offering is entirely different from those.
Jinsung Ha stared at Hazuki's eyes and saw that there's no ill-intention within them. On the contrary, his eyes were sincere that even he, Jinsung Ha, became embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it if it's indeed beneficial for me. But if it's not, then can you please just give it to Viole?" Jinsung Ha said.
Hazuki suddenly chuckled and said. "Don't worry, even Jahad would benefit if he received this 'power'."
"Then be ready to receive my power." Suddenly, Hazuki's right hand was enveloped by a Ki blade. Well, it's technically not a Ki blade since it's already integrated with his Heavenly Chakra.
*Slash* Hazuki slashed his wrist and his blood dripped to the floor. But the blood didn't come in contact with the ground since it levitated in front of Hazuki.
Hazuki's wound immediately healed the moment 10 ml of blood was released.
Jinsung Ha stared dumbly at the sight. 'Wait, wait! Will I become a Jahad's princess?! No way!' But even he couldn't deny the power radiating from those drops of blood. The blood was even releasing a powerful aura, capable of shocking him to the core.
Even Bam was stunned as he looked at the blood levitating in front of them. 'That's the power I need to take...?'
"Don't underestimate this small amount of my blood because even if you gathered all of the blood inherited by the Princesses of Jahad, it wouldn't amount to this amount of blood of mine. Don't resist since my blood might wreak havoc in your bodies." Suddenly, the blood turned into countless strings enveloping Jinsung Ha and Bam.
Soon, they were enveloped by a blood-red cocoon and Hazuki is manipulating his blood to enter their circulatory system safely. A single mistake and both Jinsung Ha and Bam would end up dead. The amount of power hidden in his blood was tremendous. His blood had the power of 4 different types of energies and normally, no one can withstand its power.
Hazuki is carefully dispersing the power of the blood inside their bodies in order to assimilate the power immediately. By doing this, Hazuki could prevent their bodies from exploding due to the insane burst of powerful energy. Moreover, once this process is finished, they won't have to exhaust themselves in order to fully absorb the power since Hazuki already integrated it into their bodies.
Hazuki made two more clones and made them do the job for him. While they are waiting for the process to finish, Hazuki was laying on Ying Yueru's lap and they were talking about their experiences in the Tower.
A few hours later, the cocoon dispersed and revealed the figures enveloped previously.
Right now, Jinsung Ha and Bam were butt naked because of the process. But Hazuki already knows of this since he's controlling everything happening inside the blood-red cocoon. That's why he created a wall around them in order to save Ying Yueru's eyes.
A minute later, Jinsung Ha and Bam finished wearing their clothes. They looked at their bodies in amazement but only Jinsung Ha truly know what kind of power they received.
Their skin became fairer and softer, the impurities in their bodies were also forcefully removed causing the Shinsu flow inside their bodies to become smoother. This is a large benefit for them, martial artists, since they reinforce their bodies with Shinsu while fighting.
Jinsung Ha could also feel the insane amount of enhancement to his bodily strength and his blood seems to be boiling due to the power he currently has. He could also feel his control over the surrounding Shinsu become better due to the blood of an Irregular.
Bam could feel that he became powerful, but his understanding of it was too shallow.
Jinsung Ha stared at Hazuki reverently while Bam was staring at Hazuki with a grateful gaze. "Thank you very much!" Was all Jinsung Ha could say. The worth of the power he received is immeasurable and he doubts that something in the Tower could compare to this.
Bam also expressed his gratitude to Hazuki. "Thank you very much, Hazuki-san!"
Hazuki placed his right hand on his chin while examining Jinsung Ha and Bam. "Now that you received my blood, you should be titled like the 'Jahad's princesses', who received Jahad's blood." Hazuki thought for a moment before adding. "Ah, you should be called 'Hazuki's Apostles'." (F*ck! I'm so bad with naming!)
After that, Hazuki cooked as a celebratory feast since he gained his first apostles in the Tower.
