"umm Mom why have you called me here?"Aira a black haired girl said with a nervous expression on her face.
"There's no need to be scared I'm angry or anything about you slacking off with your cultivation"Her mother said with know it all smile.
"Um. Then what?. Your looking at me in a weird way"Aira said with her guard still up.
With a smile still on her face her mother moved her palm closer towards her showing her an ice crystal on her hand that has an abnormal amount of ice Energy. Due to its appearance the entire room froze, turning into a wonderland of ice.
"What the hell!?"Aira was stunned as she stared at that ice crystal.She couldn't help but cry for some reason. She didn't know why she was crying but deep down she felt as if she has reunited with her long lost lover or friend.
"Don't cry dear. This ice Crystal belongs to you"Her mother said with a soft smile.
"What? Why me? I don't want it. Give it to someone who's talented like Reina. She's talented"Aira quickly wiped her tears and shook her head.
"I can't do that. Even if she absorbed it she would just die in seconds, only you are able to absorb it in this world"Her mother said as she rubbed Aira's left cheek lovingly.
"Why me? I'm not special. I'm just t-trash.."Aira started crying.
The woman infront of her wasn't her real mother. She is the 7th Dean of Soaring bird academy. An academy that trained students in magic.
This academy was one of the lowest. It wasn't even in the Top 500 rankings. Because of this it's students we're incredibly low only being around 500.
Aira trained constantly to improve her cultivation level that was stuck on the first level of middle grade. There are alot of untalented trash people with low aptitude for mana.
And she who took 9 months just to go from First level lower grade to First level Middle grade was pathetic. She can't even he called the king of trash.no she was a god of trash.
She cried miserably every night as she saw her friends and everyone else in the Academy advancing while she was still stuck on the first Level Middle grade for so many years.
However she didn't give up. She kept working hard to improve her level just so she can contribute to the sect and make the mother who took her in proud.
"I said don't cry you dumb baby"Aira's mother wiped her tears with a smile still on her face.Aira took a few minutes to calm down and after that her mother gave her the ice crystal.
" Question isn't this an ice seed?.seeds that are created from the purest form in this world, nature?"Aira stared at the ice crystal on her hand curiously.
"It's a little bit special. That's actually your heart when I found you back then when you were Young. that heart of yours wasn't even in your body. It was floating besides you and anything that came close to it got frozen to death" Aira's mother said with a bewildered expression as she remembered how dangerous Aira's heart was.
"Then how did you get close and take it and me as well? Wait if that's my heart then what's beating inside my chest?"Aira asked after a moment of shock.
"To answer your first question, I got its approval to get closer. It sent me a massage saying that it's about to fall asleep and I should take care of you. till the day it awakens I can't give it to you. As for your second question this is a soul heart ice want what's beating inside you is your physical heart "Aira's mother Replied
"Oh um I think I understand. So how do I fuse with it?"Aira asked with anticipation on her face.
"It's simple. Just place it close to your heart, it will fuse with you willingly "Her mother said as she stared at Aira with a worried expression.
"That's easy. Um so why do you look worried?" Aira asked with confusion on her face as she took off her clothes without any shame.
"If you fail you might die so I'm worried.."Her mother Replied not caring about this girl taking off her clothes so casually.
"I'll be fine I promise. Just wait for me I'll definitely succeed!"Aira promised with reassuring smile.
"Okay dear. If there's something wrong then give up. It's not worth it to risk your life"Aira's mother hugged her cute girl tightly before leaving the room for her to cultivate.
"It's time I guess. Don't kill me your my heart aren't you?"Aira said. And as if it was replying to her the ice crystal or rather her ice heart shook slightly.
Aira took a deep breath knowing full well how serious this situation was. If she could succeed her future will soar and she might even bring her Academy to the top of the 500 power houses ranking.
She placed her ice heart close to her chest. And as if it was responding it started glowing brightly while the entire room froze even more but for some reason Aira wasn't feeling the cold at all or rather it made her feel warm and safe.
Her ice body entered her body as if it passed through her like a ghost.At that moment Aira's body trembled and the purest ice emerged from around her turning her into an ice sculpture.
She suddenly felt sleepy and warm. She felt as if she was the safest person on this continent. Because of this she fell asleep easily.
Days after days past. Before she noticed a year had passed while she was still frozen inside the sculpture absorbing her Icey Heart back into her body.
Outside her dorm the situation wasn't looking so good at all. There we're 150 people or rather mages with smirks on their faces. Those people appeared young Around 14 to 16 years old however their levels were high. All of them we're between Level 12 to 19 their leader was a middle aged man who's level was at the Bronze core realm.
The Bronze core is the true start of cultivation or mages after all this world was a cultivation world but there are some unique people like Aira's academy that focuses on being mages instead of being a cultivator.as for level 1 to 19 those are just power levels of people of the secular world as for cultivators most of them are above Bronze core realm.As for the so called "Mana" it had another name and that was Spiritual Qi
"Miss yurina as you can see this disciple of yours failed to defeat one of our own people it is such a shame"The middle aged Bronze core realm cultivator said
"Yes I can see that, but what's with hurting my children!?"Miss Yurina said.[Aira's mother]
" Apologies my disciple couldn't control her powers after all she just reached The thirteen level. She has yet to stabilize her cultivation"The middle aged man said with a pleased smile.
Miss yarina garnished her teeth in anger. This middle aged man was called Elder Shen. He was one of the elders of an Academy in the secular world. It wasn't a famous or powerful sect however their students we're still enough to beat miss Yurina's academy.
This whole event was supposed to be a competition between the two academies. It was supposed to be a friendly one versus one fight but who would have thought that Elder Shen's disciples we're so merciless by taking things too far in a dual.
Miss Yurina's academy wasn't strong enough. Her strongest student was called Reina and she was only at the 19 level and as for miss Yurina she was also at the bronze core realm.
She is the dean of this academy yet she can't even defeat an elder from another Academy. This showed the difference in their levels since her Academy wasn't strong and had little resources.
"Is that so!?. My child almost got crippled because of your student!" Miss Yurina was still angry after all she treated everyone in her Academy as her kids. Even if someone doesn't have talent they could still join her Academy.
"Im sorry about that. I'll ask them not to be so brutal in the next round"Elder Shen said. He didn't seem sorry at all while smiling like that.
Miss Yurina bit her lips in frustration. There was a rule that everyone in the east continent had to follow. Whether it's the cultivation world or secular world they all have to follow this rule set by the Vermillion royal family.
And that Rule was as long as sects or academies are close to the same level they could challenge each other and the other party can't refuse this challenge unless they are weaker than the challengers.
Elder Shen's academy was obviously stronger but not by that much. As for how this challenge happened well Elder shen came with his disciples a few hours ago requesting a friendly dual.
MISS Yurina obviously declined after all they were stronger. Because of her actions the disciples of Elder Shen's academy started calling her a coward as well as curing the other disciples of Miss Yurina's academy.
They got angry and told miss Yurina to accept their challenge. Even if they are weaker they will not accept anyone calling their dean a coward. It was a slap to their face since they saw her as a mother.
Seeing this miss Yurina agreed and thought that they wouldn't get bullied so much but who knew that those disciples of Elder shen would take bullying to the next level. Hurting her disciples badly and there was nothing that she could do.
She could see that her own chicken we're angry and wouldn't bend down because of such a thing she knew stopping them might make them feel disappointed in her or even worse hate her.
Whilst Miss Yurina was trembling in anger a Qi explosion occurred that covered the entire Academy in ice. Everyone was stunned by such a scene the warm sunny day suddenly turned into an ice wonderland filled with Terrifying ice Qi.
"W-what is this?"
"What's going on!?"
" Ice Qi!?"
Everyone was shocked and scared. What just Happened?. Where did this sudden change come from?.
"Miss Yurina what is this!?"Even Elder Shen was stunned this Ice Qi was extremely dangerous. Even he felt danger from it.
Some of the weaker disciples of Elder Shen's academy froze into ice sculptures. In a few minutes they will definitely die.
Strangely Miss Yurina and the rest of her students weren't affected at all." C-could it be?"Miss Yurina looked towards Aira's dorm that was covered in most of the ice.
Crack! Bang!
All of them heard the sound of ice cracking and at that moment the Ice Qi turned even colder . Turning more of Elder Shen's disciples to Ice sculptures. He came with 150 disciples, right now 120 we're Ice sculptures as for the rest they were struggling to ward off the ice Qi that was trying to invade their bodies.
Surprisingly there was one particular disciple that came with Elder Shen who wasn't affected by the ice Qi. His body emitted an incredible amount of Fire Qi that fended off the invading ice Qi easily.
"Does this trash of an Academy posses someone who cultivates the path of cold Qi?"That disciple said, his name was Alon Gon.
"That's impossible! There's no way!"Said elder Shen. He definitely didn't believe such a thing. This trash academy could produce someone so powerful? It was impossible.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Everyone turned to stare at where the sound of ice was breaking. However this time it was different. it felt as if someone was walking on ice. Those footsteps sent chills down to their spines.
After a few more seconds they finally saw the a young 15 year old looking girl taking small steps towards them. Every single time her shoes we're about to touch the ground the ground turned into ice for her.
If was as if the ice Qi around this place was making a red carpet made up of ice. It was as if it didn't want her to be stained with the filth of the mortal world.
She worn white robes, without the hintest of dirt.Her hair was snow white and a few star shaped ice took the form of a crown on top of her hair.as for her eyes those people saw two Snow flakes as Pupils. They were emitting a dense amount of cold as if she could freeze the entire world with a mere gaze.
Hee expression right now was extremely frosty. An ice scarf was wrapped around her neck like that one badass scene in a different Novel. The current Aira was aloof and indifferent as she walked over
Miss Yurina was stunned and Abit nervous. Her little girl was always cheerful and sweet. Right now she looked like an ice devil.
"Hm?"Aira's gaze turned towards her mother and she couldn't help but give her a beautiful cute smile that she always gave her mother.
"I succeeded!"Aira said with a grin and could even see two fangs in her mischievous and pleased smile. Tears fell down miss Yurina's Cheeks as she smiled happily with love etched feel in her heart.
"Welcome back"
