One day, Kaiser stepped forward, his face set with determination. He performed the hand signs with practiced ease, his Qi flowing seamlessly through each motion. With a final flourish, he released the energy in a powerful wind blast that struck a distant tree, sending a cascade of leaves fluttering to the ground.
"I did it, Rei!" Kaiser shouted, his voice filled with pride. "I mastered the wind blast!"
Rei clapped him on the shoulder. "Great work, Kaiser. That was impressive. Now keep practicing, and try to make it even stronger."
Luster, not to be outdone, redoubled his efforts. By the end of the day, he had mastered the wind blast, his attack leaving a similar mark on the training field. He turned to Rei, his eyes blazing with determination. "I'm ready for whatever's next, Rei. Bring it on."
Rei smiled, a sense of pride swelling within him. "You've both done exceptionally well. But this is just the beginning. There's still much to learn from now on you two would also help assist me in creating similar attacks"
As the sun set over the training field, casting long shadows across the ground, Rei watched his students sparring with the wind, their laughter and shouts of excitement filling the air. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction. Though their journey was far from over, Kaiser and Luster were well on their way to mastering the art of wind manipulation. However, he then let out a manipulative smile because since they had mastered wind blast it meant that they were ready for combat and his protection was confirmed now.
One day, Rei's parents Thomas and Lily decided to visit the school to see how Rei was studying and check on his progress. As they walked through the school grounds, they immediately noticed the significant changes in the environment. The school was far better maintained than before, with repaired walls, cleaner courtyards, and an overall sense of organization. However, these changes had already been implemented for a while, so they didn't pay much attention at first.
As they moved through the grounds, an elderly man approached them, a kind smile on his face.
"Oh, are you Rei's parents? It's a pleasure to meet you," he said warmly.
Recognizing him as a member of the school management, Thomas and Lily greeted him respectfully. Thomas, ever the cautious one, asked, "Nice to meet you too. Has my son done something wrong?" After all, Rei was a curious kid in their eyes with misogynistic behavior and he was powerful as compared to other children it would come as no surprise to them if Rei beat up some girls.
The old man chuckled heartily. "Oh no, not at all. Quite the opposite. Rei has become a part of the school management and is responsible for many of the improvements you see here."
Lily gasped in surprise. "What? He brought these changes?"
Thomas furrowed his brow, clearly processing the information. "Why didn't we see this coming?" he muttered, half to himself.
The old man continued, "You must have raised him very well. He has even shared some incredible knowledge with us—things we had never seen or heard of before and he already mastered a foreign language in terms of reading and we are planning to incorporate them in the next lesson"
Your parents exchanged a look of disbelief. Lily, still reeling from the revelation, asked, "Can we see some of these books?"
"Of course, of course. Come with me," the old man replied, gesturing for them to follow.
The old man led Thomas and Lily to a room filled with books that Rei had created or contributed to. As they browsed through the volumes, they were astonished. The information within was extraordinary—knowledge that seemed almost otherworldly. Thomas and Lily had always known Rei was intelligent, but now they began to view him as a prodigy.
However as Thomas and Lily thought about it they often saw Rei near the bookshelves writing down whatever he read so Thomas and Lily thought that had neglected to see just how smart Rei was.
However, they weren't upset with Rei for sharing this knowledge. After all, Rei was still a child, and they knew they couldn't control every decision that Rei made. Instead, a new concern took root in their minds: there was nothing left for Rei to learn at this school. They began to discuss the possibility of withdrawing Rei to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
Later, Thomas and Lily approached Hanna to ask about Rei's activities at the school. She provided a detailed account of the shifts Rei had brought—his leadership in creating programs, his innovative teaching methods, and his mentorship of Kaiser and Luster. Hearing this only solidified their belief that Rei had outgrown the school.
As Thomas and Lily discussed Rei's future in hushed tones, Rei remained focused on his training sessions with Kaiser and Luster.
On the training field, Rei pushed them through a grueling swordsmanship drill. Sweat poured down their faces as they struggled to match his movements, their wooden swords clashing with each other under his watchful eye.
Though Rei hated swordsmanship he was teaching Kaiser and Luster about it to make them stronger and more useful for him. Rei was already planning his future of traveling through the capital to make reforms and organizations and he needed bodyguards for it so he was making them strong so that they could become his bodyguards.
"Keep your guard up, Kaiser! That's better. Don't let Luster catch you off balance," Rei called out, his voice firm but encouraging.
Luster, panting heavily, glanced at Rei with a determined expression. "Rei, will you keep training us, even if... even if we can't stay here anymore?"
Rei paused for a moment, taken aback by his words. But you quickly nodded, a small smile forming on his lips. "Of course, Luster. No matter where you are, I'll help you grow stronger. You two have come a long way, and I'm not about to stop now.". However, Rei's words were only lipservice he was not planning on that.
Meanwhile, Rei's parents continued to deliberate.
"What should we teach him?" Lily asked, her tone laced with worry. "He's already learning foreign languages, and I think he's more knowledgeable than we are at this point."
Thomas stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing as he considered the options. "I might have an idea," he said at last, his voice resolute.
