Grand Trial

The Truest Dilemma

When Lucas heard Anthony call the Martial division out he smirked coldly as he was going to jump In and help to catch Anthony off guard, but with the current look of things not only was Anthony aware he was here, but other people were tailing him as well something even He himself did not know.

"If you were going to go back on your word senior Lucas I thought at the very least you would wait longer than 10 hours," Anthony said as he strolled from side to side looking at the mountain view, "But anyway That's all you so I have no qualms. All you cowards from the Martial division,s however, you don't want me to set your Guardian spirit's forest ablaze and Utterly enrage it I give you exactly 10 seconds to get out here" Anthony announced Igniting an Orange Fire on his hand to display to the hiding crowd. Even Lucas was starting to panic now as he was aware of the guardian spirit of the forest which as he tailed him seemed to be protecting Anthony as he went Making it Impossible for him to initiate his originally planned capture, thus with gritted teeth he jumped from a distanced tree branch into the air and Landed in the open with an amiable smile, he was going to try and bargain now.

Anthony smiled faintly when Lucas revealed himself and said, "So It really was senior Lucas, I knew I could not forget such a powerful aura, sadly It seems you attempted the training method I was practicing over the past two weeks and caused yourself harm, otherwise your cultivation would not be temporarily sealed at the Rank 6 Grass root realm, now you can't cultivate further without losing your previous achievements else you might actually be powerful right about now," Anthony said before finally looking back to the forest. " Big Brother, Martial sister Susy and Martial Brothers from the Martial division, I believe you no longer have any qualms with showing yourselves now that Senor Lucas no longer possesses the threat he once did".

Lucas's amiable smile froze and the corner of his lips twitched, He was set up. As expected 15 disciples walked out of the forest led by Martin and Susy. "It is no wonder the guardian spirit seemed to be protecting you, you had already informed them of your arrival sooner" Lucas blurted upon the realization

"Not entirely, I truth at first I only came across Senior Martial Brother Jiho Chang along the way, I warned him of your presence and Led him to Senior Martial sister Susy, from then Herself and Big brother Martin moved around with brother Jiho and set up the plan I eft for them" Anthony explained with a lazy tone. 'Th-Th-then the earlier killing Intent and provocations were----" Lucas stuttered and Trailed off, " Fake, they were all fake to draw you out, and I used my words to draw you out, but Don't worry you will not die here, but you will definitely be crippled then In a month I will return Home to challenge you, Not only will I demand your Family to hand the Clan chief position to my father, But I will ask him to banish your parents for their abuse of power and corrupt suppression. But don't worry I will let you endure two years In the punishment chamber for all their misdeed so they don't have to leave at the very least" Anthony said flamboyantly, and when he gave his last words Lucas dropped to his knees with a pale and horrified expression.

"Sadly brother Jiho is Training, after I undid the seal on his talent he began to meticulously train in seclusion, otherwise he would be the perfect man to cripple you, but I will just have to do it myself since brother Martin is more than enough to keep our family's younger generation strong," Anthony said pulling a blade from the special bag he had strapped across his back and approached Lucas whiles sealing off his movement and speech for 2 minutes. "I would appreciate if seniors are silent on today's matter, I just happen to hate people who give biased Justice while faking benevolence" Anthony smiled to the crowd, to this they all nodded and went back down to the Training camp.

1 HOUR LATER

In the Vibrant Training Citadel

15TH Guest residence

Martin and Susy sat across from each other anxiously as they were worried for Anthony, even if on the surface it looked like Anthony was in control the two of them knew more than Anybody how dangerous Lucas was when pushed too far.

Not long after though, Anthony walked into the residence with a satisfied smile as he closed his eyes and slumped down on the couch, which confused martin and Susy. "I really must thank the two of you again, had you not helped I would likely have been forcefully transported away from this place," Anthony said getting up and bow slightly.

"It's only what must naturally be done, But we may have to seek you in if you really want to go to the Li clan's Sacred Temple," Martin said In a rather worried tone.

"Don't overthink it, I am naturally to go as a Disciple of the Maverix Sect's Martial Division, after all, I need to help with their rise to power if possible, If not I would go to cultivate In seclusion, for now, I will attempt my breakthrough to the Yellow Mark Magus," Anthony said Seriously as he stepped into a side room.

"Wait, Isn't the level above white the Grey mark?? Why would he attempt to break through to the Yellow?" Susy asked upon a realization.

"He has a Power that he can unlock at the Yellow mark that Is absolutely necessary if we get caught, It is the only confirmation we have that He would be able to survive at the very least," Martin said seriously as he stared at the shut room that was sealed of by a concealment talisman.

Susy looked at the door in confusion but still said, "Since it's like that we might as well buy some skills to train in while we're here so let's leave him be". Martin was going to say something but went with "Ok" and left with Susy.
