Chapter 19 - Academy

When Lin Cian entered the school he had no words to describe what he saw there. Because what he saw were the beautiful greens, the flowers, and trees surrounding the huge building. When he entered the gate he was greeted by the stare of different pairs of eyes.

The place was very much different and now Cian was amazed of seeing the students practicing on the grounds. Lin Cian had an idea and used the skill of 'Demon Gaze' over the students. Much to his surprise, they were not much powerful nor weak.

"They were weak but still they are stronger to me" Lin Cian muttered and walked towards the building. The door of the huge building is more than six meters above the ground. The way to reach the door is either by flying or by the slope which leads there. The door of the building is not in the center of the front wall. It was in the extreme left end. The Slope was in the right extreme. The slope travels from the right extreme which is the lower end to the left extreme which is the higher end where the door is.

'Who the hell designed this building. It looks like sh...'. He stopped his comments unfinished because what he saw inside the door left him speechless. "It was awesome," said himself. When he walked further it looked like a library. They had many kinds of books on the ground floor. Besides the library, there is a stair leading somewhere. When he was near the stairs he encountered a girl.

The girl wore a red cloth covering from her neck to the heel. It was kinda different but she had twin layered pupils with a color tone of red from light to dark. She was quite taller than Lin Cian. Had a long bright face with red lips.

"Hello, I am Rita. Nice to meet you"

"Hello, this is Cian. Nice to meet you too"

"Are you a new student?"

"yes of course. Can you please help me locate the headmaster's office" he asked with a lower tone while scratching his head.

"Haha sure follow me" She replied after a short laugh and started to walk.

When they were walking Lin Cian used her Demon eyes on Rita. What he saw was unreasonable. The gentle and elegant-looking lady had a terrifying aura. Lin Cian was scared for a second.

'I am doomed. My guess was wrong. Never thought a student will have such a terrifying aura. In the future, I should never mess with her.'

When they reached the place Rita stretched her hands towards a door and gestured him to go in and took her leave. Lin Cian went near the door and knocked on the door. An elderly male voice was heard

"Who is this?"

"This is Cian. From River Edge country, Ice Valley town. I hope to learn from the school in the future"

"Get in"

Once the voice is heard the door opened by itself. There Cian saw an old man who is wearing a white robe. His face is full of wrinkles, he is at least one and a half meters in height. His hair and beard were white which matched the color of his robe. He was sitting in a chair behind a table.

Lin Cian entered the door and stood in front of the old man. The old man saw a slim figure of one and a half meters in height. Pupils in blue and hair in grey. He was wearing blue royal clothes.

Lin Cian was not wearing royal clothes all the way. He wore it before entering school. Because his father advised him to do so when he was leaving.

"Young man are you sure you want to be a part of our school?"

"Part of your school? Only if your cause is good"

"You are weak who wouldn't get admitted into any academies yet you have your mouth to speak about your laws haha" the old man laughed for a short.

"If I couldn't fight for a good cause what is the use of being strong. I will rather be weak than to serve the evil" Lin Cian said loud and clear.

The old man was shocked for a moment and asked "How are you related to Yasho?"

"Yasho? Do you know my father?" Lin Cian asked in surprise.

The old man sighed 'Yasho, it is very disappointing. How is this your son? Is he lying?'....."Yes he is a former student of this school"

"What?" ...'I am done for...the old tree is an alumnus of the school'

Before he could speak anything the old man continued. "No matter who your father is we will never treat you specially. Never let anyone know who your father is.....Do you understand?"

'Huh, what's going on. The god is in my side he he'..." I promise no one will know my identity"

"That's good, tell me about your physical conditions"

"My physical conditi...ons..... it's" he dragged the sentence but the old man intervened for him.

"I know your physical condition is weak. If you can tell me in detail I can help you..."

"Help haha no one could help me. No medicine could cure me. At least I live and that's good." Lin Cian said with a pitying laugh.

"Young man medicine is not always the way. There are more. You can choose suitable cultivation for yourself. It can help you in your weakness..."

After a short while of thinking, Lin Cian explained everything to the old man. Lin Cian gave the letter of his father to the old man.

While reading the letter the old man would see him in the corner of his eyes. Once he finished reading he said "Don't worry my boy. I will do my best to help you."

'What does the letter say. Is that very confidential? Why not read it loud'? Lin Cian thought himself confused.

The old man continued "Young man for you to stay here you have to stay strong"
