Chapter 2:Miss Vox
1065 Words
What really stands out are your arms. They are like dragons, filled with might. Every movement is like a rushing flood, overflowing with tremendous strength. You have a bright future ahead of you, as long as you train hard …
Teacher, my arms are injured. The physicians that diagnosed me said that it's as good crippled… The boy interrupted his monologue with a doubtful gaze.
Injured…Reynas face flushed with embarrassment, but as the lowest ranking werewolf in her previous lifes pack, she was thick-skinned. It was impossible for others to catch her off guard.
Do you think I was unaware of that, I could tell from the moment you exerted your strength! I only said that because from the ashes, the Phoenix will rise. Your arms might be badly injured, but this is also an opportunity. As long as you grasp it, your arm strength will be your greatest weapon!
Regardless, the most important thing was to coax him in. If saying nonsense could do it, she could prattle nonsense all day long.
Opportunity? What do you mean by opportunity Teacher? Hearing those words, the boys face was filled with passion.
Ever since his arms got injured, he always felt inferior to others, resulting in low self-esteem. He never thought that misfortune would one day present him with an opportunity instead.
If you can grasp this opportunity, you'll be able to soar to the top in a single go. It won't be difficult for you to become the dominating elite among the freshers. After all your talent is good, and a genius of your tier has yet to appear in history. Although… Reyna paused slightly.
The boy was completely hooked now.
Hearing the heavy praises showered on him, the boy blushed furiously, but he continued asking, Although what?
Although… Reyna sighed. It was a sigh lamenting that a potential star would never shine. The teachers who are able to notice and bring out the talent in you are only a few in this academy!
Including myself, there are only three who are capable of such a feat. Sadly, the other two stopped accepting students three years ago… it will be difficult for you to acknowledge them as your teacher even if I were to speak up for you… sigh
They've stopped accepting students?! The boy had his hopes raised by Reynas words, but upon hearing her last sentence, his heart sank. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, They aren't accepting students, but Teacher, what about you? Are you accepting any?
I am, but as you can tell, I am a person indifferent to personal fame and riches and I don't have time to waste as well!A look of difficulty displayed on Reynas face. I don't fancy taking just anyone, if they aren't good seeds, even if our fates are linked, I won't …
Putong!
Before he could finish his speech, the young man had already knelt down and kowtowed I know that Teacher is a powerful superior, but please accept me as your student! I promise to train diligently, so as to not disappoint you!
Hahaha!
Waves of joy gushed through Reynas heart, but on the surface she maintained a conflicted expression. Fate has brought us together, but… as you can see, I prefer to live a quiet life…
As your student, I promise to never disturb Teacher unless it's an emergency!Seeing the other party still a little reluctant, the young man nodded vigorously with a sincere look on his face.
I don't have many students, so the resources I have cannot be compared to other teachers. And also, you might be criticized by others…Reyna continued.
Is that so… teacher?... But I heard that training resources are very important, if I don't have them… The boy finally hesitated.
Resources from the academy were allocated based on the number of students a teacher had, the studentsstrengths, their results and many other factors. These resources were very important and without them, leveling up your cultivation rank would be a lot more difficult.
Cough cough, I only said those words to test you. Since you're so persistent and sincere, I'll grudgingly accept you! Noticing his hesitation, Reyna immediately interrupted him and said Let's seal our relationship then!
Ah?
He didn't expect the teacher before him to change his attitude as quickly as flipping the pages of a book. Taken aback, the young man blankly grabbed the token Reyna passed to him.
This token would represent his identity as Reyna's student if he were to verify it. Just as he was considering whether he should affirm the relationship, he saw the reticent teacher Reyna pull his hand over to her and cut a small wound with a sharp dagger. A drop of his blood fell on the jade token.
Wemg!
Light flashed.
"Ah…."
The boy was a little dumbfounded.
Didn't the teacher say that she had to consider the matter carefully? Unmoved by fame and wealth, was it? If that was the case, why was her movement so fast and… and it seemed like she had even prepared the dagger beforehand?!
Henceforth, you're my student!After the blood verification, Reyna heaved a sigh of relief. She continued to play the ethereal expert role as she asked What's your name?
Teacher, I'm Elias Prescott
Aware that what was done could not be undone, the young man chose not to dwindle and replied respectfully.
Um… okay, go and get your beddings, some books through your ID token and find yourself a lodging. We shall begin lessons here tomorrow!
Reyna dismissed him with a wave of hands.
Okay! Elias nodded before turning to leave.
Side note.
1] A Hollow blood is anyone from the four major bloodlines that doesn't exhibit characteristics of their bloodline. (Eg) Reyna Vox is from the Werewolf bloodline but she cannot display any attribute of werewolves. She cannot wolf shift, she doesn't have their heightened senses and all that.
2] The four major bloodlines: Werewolves, Demons, Casters, and Sages.
Werewolves: Wolves who could shift to human form. Possess great power.
Demons: Human type creatures with demonic powers, senses and strength.
Casters: Witches you could call them, possess powers to do magic, cast spells, etc.
Sages: Very rare bloodline in the world. They possess inherent knowledge about virtually everything in existence, in their blood. Their
power lies in their ability to commune with natural phenomena and command them.
