Chapter 16: What A Great Act
’The whole magical world is composed of six sects, the six sects are The Vampire Sect, The Spectral Sect, The Necromancer Sect, The Bone Men Sect, The Winged Men Sect and The Iron Men Sect. Every sect’s people have their own special abilities.’
’For example, people of The Spectral Sect have a different aperture from us, their aperture is called the Spectral aperture.’
A man with properly combed brown hair, eyes as dark as an abyss, pale skin and a thin body was explaining all of this to students in a classroom.
This classroom consisted of forty students, twenty were boys while the other twenty were girls.
’I like this class.’, said Evan to Santiago.
’Yeah it is so good.’, Hannah replied.
The two of them were sitting at the very back of the class with Hannah, who had been told to go by Santiago many times before but still refused.
They had now developed a habit of ignoring her because she did not stop talking to them no matter what.
’Well this is enough for today, We’ll see each other tomorrow.’, their teacher said to them, sitting down on his chair.
All of them stood up, some were cracking their necks, some were stretching themselves while some just got out like normal people.
Evan was not among the normal people but Santiago was, and Hannah was a special case, because neither was she walking out of class nor was she cracking her joints or stretching herself.
She was just standing in the classroom waiting and looking at Evan with her crystal blue eyes.
Evan as he finished stretching himself walked out of the classroom with Hannah still following him, walking beside him like a bodyguard.
’If you want to walk at least walk with me... you look like as if you’re protecting me.’, he said to her.
She did as she was told and then started to talk again
’Well I knew you would like the General Knowledge class, I like it very much myself. But the most I enjoy is the cultivation class because it teaches us peace....’
She talked on and on and Evan simply nodded trying to find Santiago so he would say something that would make her go away.
But due to his bad luck he was not able to find him wherever he looked, he searched the hall, the bathroom and even the dormitories.
’Have you seen Santiago?’, he asked Hannah.
’No I think he might be in the cultivation class... should we go there too?’, she replied sweetly.
’What do you mean... like do we really have that class right now?’
’Well yes, I have memorized the whole time table so I do know which class is when.’
Evan nodded and said to her that he was going to go to the cultivation class and it was no surprise that she came with him.
The both went inside the class and saw boys and girls talking with each other, beside them stood Santiago who was yawning.
Evan and Hannah walked towards him.
’Where have you been, I’ve been waiting for you, it has been ten minutes already.’, Santiago said to Evan.
’Why did you get out from the class so early, I was looking for you well long story... anyways where is Mr. David?’ ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
’He’s coming, ask our beloved teacher’s pet she might answer you question.’, Santiago said pointing towards Hannah.
’Leave her man, just don’t find problems now, I cant stand it.’
’Alright.’, Santiago replied sighing.
’I’ve got to put up an act too.’, Evan thought.
’I’ve just got to find a partner with whom I’m gonna act... oh that one looks great.’
In the middle of the crowd stood a smiling tall boy with blonde hair. Everyone around him was talking to him like he was a celebrity. This was the boy Evan thought would be the best for his act.
’Hey Hannah, can you leave up for a second, I’ve got to talk about something important with Santiago.’, he said.
Hannah sighed and left the two of them alone so that the both of them can talk about "something important".
’Which Blood worm you have right now in your aperture?’ he asked Santiago with such a serious expression he had never made before.
’I have two, Distracting Smoke Blood Worm and Blinding Light Blood Worm, both are for distraction... but the one you want I did borrow it from my father.
Distracting Smoke Blood Worm was a one time use Blood Worm, on activation the Blood Worm released an enormous amount of smoke that was used to distract enemies.
’You want the Five Minute Qi Reducing Blood Worm right? here you go.’, said Santiago handing over an Orange Blood Worm that looked like a bee.
Evan sat down and quickly refined it.
Five Minute Qi Reducing Blood Worm was a Basic Blood Worm and it’s refinement depended on how high your talent for cultivation was. It was a one time use Blood Worm and it’s main ability was that it reduced your Qi almost forty percent for five minutes, as Evan had ninety percent of his aperture filled with Qi, he would have fifty percent of his Qi left, and the remaining would regenerate after five minutes.
’Let’s start the act then.’
He walked into the crowd and intentionally hit the blonde tall guy with his arms, as he had expected the blonde guy grabbed him.
’What do you think you’re doing? you are in the presence of a B-Rank!’, the blonde guy said.
’So what I have an A-Rank talent.’, replied Evan casually.
Hearing this all of the people in the crowd laughed and laughed not stopping until the blonde guy lifted his hand up.
’I see, I am in the presence of a Holy guy I certainly did not expect that.’, said the blonde guy and removed his hand from Evan, everyone fell quiet as if they were about to acknowledge.
However, the blonde guy lifted his hand and slapped Evan’s head so hard that it felt to him as if his eyes were going to pop out or he was going to get unconscious.
This level of pain, he had never felt in his life, not even the Half-Dead Captain’s punches were these hard.
’You think I’m an idiot?’, asked the blonde guy.
The crowd started to laugh again while Santiago was stopped by Hannah. If she had not grabbed him he might have done something that the blonde guy wouldn’t have liked.
Because even though the blonde guy was a B-Rank and Santiago was a C-Rank, at the Fledgling level there wasn’t any difference because hand to hand combat was much more prominent than Blood worms at this level. And as Santiago was far more muscular and powerful than the blonde guy, his slap would’ve made the blonde guy remember his ancestors.
’I said leave me, Hannah... I’m gonna kill this piece of shit.’, said Santiago with his reddened face.
’No otherwise you are going to get beaten too, I feel pity for Evan.’ she said.
Santiago listening to this stopped his rush and sat down behind a curtain, in a curtained room, covering his face with his hands, as if he had utterly embarrassed himself.
’You’re right...’
Meanwhile, Evan was trying to cling on to his consciousness.
’What is the level of Qi inside you aperture, or rather would you like to show us Mister A-Rank?’ asked the blonde guy, making the crowd laugh once again.
’Of course.’
If he were to be honest with himself, he wanted to show his true aperture to the blonde guy, but this would have cause many issues, so he decided to stick with his old plan.
Inside his head, he activated the Five Minute Qi Reducing Blood Worm and as soon as he did he felt the energy within himself being sucked.
’Here you go.’, said Evan showing them his aperture that was filled fifty percent. The crowd broke into laughter again, what he was thinking right now was not the next slap he would be receiving from the blonde guy but rather how did the people in the crowd had the capacity to laugh so much.
The blonde guy slapped Evan again and then threw him out of the crowd.
’Barely a C-Rank.’, the blonde guy said.
Evan stood up and saw the crowd again, but they didn’t look towards him rather they started to talk among themselves again.
He stood up and went inside the curtained room where Hannah and Santiago were sitting in. He laughed within himself and sat down along with them wiping a bit of blood from his lips.
Hannah was in a state that looked like she was praying, and Santiago looked like as if he was controlling his inner demons. But both of them were closing their eyes and did not knew that Evan was sitting with them right now.
He smiled and shook both of them, which lead to them finally seeing Evan in front of their eyes, almost safe and sound.
’At least you don’t have scars.’, said Santiago laughing.
’Well now I know that he is not an A-Rank talent but rather a C-Rank.’, Hannah said to himself.
Meanwhile Evan thought,
’What a great act it was.’
