Chereads / The Beasts of Men / Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 : Fear

Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 : Fear

For the Remaining time spent in class Elijah couldn't stop thinking about what he had just witnessed he was supposed to be the hope for the Lion Beastmen.

Yet their greatest enemy has come back at the perfect time as soon as the lion get a little power.

"Will the odds be in their favor?" Elijah thought.

On his way back to the dorm he ignored Arthur ; he couldn't get the image of the Crescent Moon wolf out of his head.

All Glowing Blue eyes and his physics was that of a master class beastmen. Arthur kept talking in the background while Elijah was trying to think so He just sent him on his way in the most polite way he knew how.

As soon as Elijah got to his room he went in his subconscious to talk with Solomon.

"What did you mean when you said i should leave the academy? If i wanted to get any stronger?". Solmon was laying on the couch when he got there.(note in the somewhat dream world you can manifest objects as long as you can remember their structure.)

"What I meant was that your training here at the academy will not be enough. Your growth needs to be a lot faster than it is, we have to hurry up and fill in that gap between you and the prince. We haven't even seen the little foxes beastmen yet," said Solmon.

"Wait", said Elijah, "I don't have a legendary beast as well so we are equally matched." "

You do have a legendary beast but he actually has control over he's plus having the Ark Paladin class gives him an edge" Solomon replied".

"Damn" Elijah said "I need to talk to the Elder like now."

"So what are you about to Astral project?". Asked Solomon.

"No, I planned to send a letter". Elijah said mocking Solomon.

Solomon made a face.

"ok I can see that you're Irritable right now so I will let it slide."

Elijah woke himself up and layed in bed because he was going to be away from his body for a while. When he focused he projected himself from the top of his head. Solomon was right next to him .

"Since this is your first time doing it, we should have some fun and go to the ladies hot spring." Said Solomon.

Elijah made a face.

"You've got to chill dude".

"I miss my hundred plus wives, man" he said , complaining.

"Anyways let's head out before the sun goes down".

It wasn't really difficult being an Astral projection Elijah just thought about flying and then he did. They were flying for a good half hour before reaching the Elders house right when they landed Solomon said "man I'm tired let's rest here a while".

"You're hilarious, let's go inside," .Elijah said.

When they walked in, the elder was cooking.

"Elder it's me Elijah". The Elder still continues to cook.

"Hello" Said the elder's wife in a chair netting.

"How is he going to get that to him?" Elijah thought.

"ELDER!?" Elijah yelled then he finally turned around.

"Ohh Elijah my boy how are you? I was going to send a letter but hey you're already here".

"Wait why don't you just astral project to me" Elijah asked.

"I'm too old to be leaving my body now, I either will get possessed or turn into a Spirit-Soul and die". said the elder

"That can happen?" Elijah said.

"Ugh yea so what brings you here". the elder said nervously.

Elijah told him the situation with Klaus and the Prince.

"Crescent Moon Wolf huh D*** that impressive, I'm also here you have been suffering from some racism" said the elder.

Elijah looked down "it's nothing".

"It's not nothing son, we have been treated like this since I have been alive. You have never been outside this town but our kin outside of our tribe suffer the same. I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way," said the elder.

"So you think you should drop out and go train with Solomon full time".

"Yes sir I do" Elijah replied. " I have to disapprove for now," said the elder.

"What?! Why!?" Elijah said frustrated.

"It sounds to me that they want to run you off and make yourself quit. Not only that, this is a chance to scope out all of the competition and build relationships with other Noble families being strong is not the only thing it takes to protect our clan. You have to know how the enemy thinks, not only of what he thinks about you but of what he thinks about himself too. You showed them a fraction of your true power and once you see there's you get discouraged. I'm sorry to tell you this Elijah but the odds will never be in your favor there is no equal footing". said the Elder. "

Solomon, can Elijah beat you in a sparring match at your age right now if you're not holding back".

Solomon looked up. "No sadly not" Solomon said, scratching his head .

"Stop babying him," the elder said.

"Only when he can beat you and increase his physical strength can you teach him Shadow walker moves."

"Well alright you're the Elder". Solomon replied

The elder makes a face.

"Don't be discouraged Elijah there is a King inside of you. You got anything else for me" the elder asked

"Where can I learn more about the crescent moon wolf?" Elijah said "the Library of course"

Then the elder touched Elijah Astral project with his palm and Elijah was suddenly back in his body.
