Arc - Rise of the Dawn Arc
Chapter - Entering the Academy
The next day, just as the sky revealed the first glimers of light, Tang Yang woke up. Today was the second day he would attend the academy. He had officially entered the Red Mountain Academy's Soul Master class. If he wants to describe his first day at the academy, then it was both bitter and sweat. Due to his C category soul power and trash type martial soul, teachers didn't show much interest in him. Moreover, his classmates tried to stay away from him like he was some sort of disease. The only happy moment of his previous day was that he was able to help Na'er. Now, he got a little sister. And have more than enough reasons to become a powerful Soul Master.
Suddenly, the thought of a gloomy and dark kid crossed his mind. He saw the other bed, which was left empty. But somehow, he knew that Vincent was present somewhere near. He looks out through the window. His room was on the second floor, and the window provided a scenery of the neighbourhood along with a small garden of the house.
Yang saw that a boy with jet-black hair wearing a black cloak was training with his black sword. His cloak was neat and clean without a scratch. His sword was shiny as lustrous as newly carved from flawless steel. His movement and speed were really amazing. It was like seeing a Master swordsman. His footwork was unpredictable and fluid like a flow of water. Yang also went towards the garden to greet him. He had already come to the conclusion that he was going to live with them. It makes him happy to think that he got a friend as well as a brother. Although, Tang Yang always felt a dark and gloomy aura from him, but he didn't know what a dark aura meant.
"Hi! Nice to meet you! We didn't introduce ourselves back then." Tang Yang initiated the conversation with a cheerful mood.
Tang Yang had meddled during his training, but he didn't mind it at all. In return, Vincent also greeted him with a smile,
"Nice to meet you too ... you are Yang, right?"
"Yes! What's your name!?"
"Vincent ... Vincent Salen."
After that, they talk about them, their dreams, families, and martial soul. Surprisingly, Vincent got along with Yang very well. Vincent didn't tell anything about his family, and Vincent was smart enough to know that he shouldn't have had haste in all matters. At first, Yang was reluctant to tell about his martial soul, but in the end, he showed it to Vincent. But the latter didn't criticise him. In return, he encouraged him that he would become a powerful Soul Master if he never gave up. This gives him more motivation and courage to become a powerful Soul Master. He was shocked to see that Vincent's martial soul was a black mould. It was like black grass like tentacles. Vincent was able to make them squishy as well as solid on his will. Unlike Yang, his martial soul was not a trash.
"Anyway, can you please stop radiating this black mist. It's irritating ... "
"What! You mean that you can see the aura around me!"
"Well, just say that I can kind of feel it."
"I see ... "
The dark and gloomy aura around Vincent disappeared in thin air. For some reason, Tang Yang felt relieved and calm.
Vincent found it strange that Yang was able to sense the aura of soul core. Nevertheless, he will consider it some other time.
At the time of breakfast, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue hadn't eaten their fill yet as all the food on the table had been sucked into the duo's belly. Yet, Tang Yang and Na'er still weren't full. Meanwhile, Vincent didn't eat very much, but he kept his eye on Yang for some reason.
"Son, are you the indignant food devourer of legend?"
Lang Yue was contemplating his thoughts on something when Vincent rises his right hand. He was wearing a silver ring with a red stone engraved on it. A strange symbol was drawn on the stone. Out of thin air, a large piece of raw meat appeared in his hand. It was shocking to see his strength as Vincent was holding the large piece of meat with relatively ease. Everyone was dumbfounded on seeing this. Only Tang Ziran was able to understand what had happened. Vincent has a storage ring in his arsenal.
"Wow, that was so cool!" Tang Yang beamed a bright smile on seeing the large piece of meat.
"I'll cook it later. All three of you get ready for the Academy." Lang Yue said sternly as she was contemplating on cooking the meat.
"Take care of Na'er and Vincent as well as of yourself, hero." Ziran said in his usual cheerful tone. "Na'er will be attending the ordinary class while you and Vincent will be attending the Soul Master class. I hope that you two will also take care of Yang."
Both kids nodded in response. They would complete their elementary education with Tang Yang. While everyone was again going into the conversation, Vincent's mind went into deep consideration. What he was thinking is unknown to everyone right now.
