It's been a few weeks since that day when I opened my first meridian and things have been pretty calm ever since.
Other than training, I've been just chilling and getting used to my body ever since I started Astral Transcendence. My sense and thinking process reached such high degrees that it scared me. Schemes and parts of my plans that I now thought were set, now had to be wiped out entirely since I was thinking in a way I never even thought was possible.
I finished opening my twelfth meridian a few days ago. My progress in Astral Transcendence was insane, but seriously I don't understand why my dad was so worried, it was just a little pain and the benefits far outweigh the pain I had to go through. Seriously people are just some bitches.
My evolution was coming closer and closer as I opened each of my meridians, affirming my theory of the evolution fully happening when I unlock the rest of my meridians. I wasn't really worried about anyone finding out that I wasn't just a black dragon in the future. Thanks to my wish for an adaptive body it would make me keep all my black dragon traits and abilities even though I would be an abyssal demon.
With one-third of body tempering now complete I've just been practicing with my katana, making sure I don't get rusty with my skills but I needed a katana arte. While I did want to start opening the rest of my meridians I don't want to draw unnecessary attention.
Needless to say, Mom and Dad were shocked when they way that I broke through. While the shock wasn't as long as I expected, shocked they still were.
My grandfather on the other hand almost fainted when he heard the news, He even speeded to the main complex himself to see it with his own eyes, after he confirmed he ran back and brought Treysin with him so he can see as well, but before he left to get him I saw a glint in his eyes that scared me.
GOD, I hope he doesn't use me to help him get close to the empress. I can't even get dad to help him on this one since mother would kill both him and me, Everen if worst comes to worst it's up to you my guy. You must do it, for the family.
Thinking about it now why doesn't he get Everen to do it for him...actually never mind thinking about it, Everen is even worse than grandfather. If he sends him to the empress he might get us all killed.
A few minutes later he came back with Treysin, who gave me a cold stare full of indifference, it wasn't disdain or mockery in any way it was just pure indifference.
"I want to talk to Hakari alone for a bit. You guys can go." Treysin said shocking everyone present from what I heard and understood, Treysin was a man of few words and when he acted huge things would happen, rather if the effects happened immediately or in the future the events that happened afterward were always big.
My parents gave me a look of worry and caution before they left and my grandfather did the same. With just both me and my uncle as the only people left we just stared at each as time slowly passed by.
After about five minutes he finally asked: "What is your plan here exactly? I'm sure that with your intelligence you have a scheme planned in your head. I want your honest answer, I can tell if you're lying and you better not say you are just a kid or I will send you to the gulag." He said softly with a profound gaze.
I looked at him for a few seconds before pondering over my answer. Lying to him was stupid, not like I going to lie to him anyway. I also can't move this situation in my favor either due to me not knowing much of the world yet and with him being better at schemes compared to my current self.
For some reason, my mind was calm, far too calm as if the threat was not bothering me in any way. My emotions were still in check, my pulse was stable and I was still serene and profound. Looks like the Seven Chakras were not just for show.
Thinking of the true reason for that question and why he was even asking it to begin with I looked at him and said with a calm voice with the look in my eyes was dripping amusement "What is it you are after uncle? What I mean by that is not what you are looking for in questioning me, although that might be a part of your goal depending on my answer but what is your goal huh?"
I saw Treysin shiver but he quickly collected himself as his eyes grew wide "This perception...impossible."
Holding his stare he laughed and then smiled at me with pride as he explained "When I and your father were your age we saw the world the same way you do now. We were called terrifying monsters by almost everyone. They called people like us Kimyos. People who are born stronger and smarter than everyone else but we are ridiculously low in number. Other than your father I have only four other people with the same traits.
I froze and fear crept up into me. Kimyos are one of the most feared types of people. There was always almost no way of defeating them and they were one of the hardest types of people to kill and that's if they are just humans. If superior beings that didn't even need to be Kimyos like Devils, Angels, and Fallen came about well the result was clear.
But that's strange, there was an organization that actively hunts them. They don't hunt devils and the rest for obvious reasons but they should still be hunting them so why is he telling me this without any fear. I know we are family and all but Treysin is a cautious man, a lot like myself so there are things that he wouldn't even tell my grandfather and my father let alone me.
"So I'll ask again, Hakari as smart as you are we both know there will always be someone smarter. While we are family, a man in my position needs to understand the chess pieces and the chessboard."
"Honestly I have no plans for this family. In fact, how could I? I have only been alive for a few years and other than having some knowledge about the family I wouldn't even dare say that I have basic knowledge about this world or federation. But I will say that I do wish for freedom and to explore."
Treysin stared at me in surprise and smiled before saying "Father was right, you are interesting indeed. Looks like little brother brought something exciting into the world or maybe Luna's pussy was just too good that he doesn't even realize that he might have brought in a good seed without him realizing." He laughed in amusement.
It surprises me how such a serious man like Treysin can make these kinds of jokes, honestly, before I saw him up close at dinner I never thought he smiled in his life. I thought he was going through some shit.
"I'm guessing the kingdom is planning something soon and based on how you've been sizing me up it looks like I am a key part of this plan you, father, and Zavier are planning. Well, let me help you with that. After all, from the way I see it we both win, you get a step closer and I get to have freedom and explore." I said with a grin
Treysin's body trembled but he shook his head and said "This is enough for now." He swiftly commented as if nothing happened "You are free to do as you please until you grow stronger. But remember we are far from done." He stated, vanishing from my sight.
Kimyos huh?
I shook my head and smiled before going back to my room. Days began to pass as I only had one goal in mind: to get stronger.
I have no idea what those guys have planned but now that I know I will be heavily involved it's best I get prepared. Covered in my own blood and sweat I relentlessly trained. Aside from eating and sleeping my days were filled with continuous cultivation.
