150 Waves (2/2)
”Energy Vision everyone.” Raven's leisurely voice echoed across the ears of his classmates. A tremor ran pass their bodies and they all started looking at Victor's Energy Barrier using Energy Vision.
When their vision adjusted, their eyes constricted a bit. The Energy Barrier surrounding Victor shone with clean sheen and also incredibly solid. Compared to what majority of them could conjure, Victor's Energy Barrier was three times denser.
”This will be your first homework. Conjure an Energy Barrier that's at least three times thicker that what you previously could.”
Sufficed to say, this first homework was already giving them a severe headache. They all thought that the toughness of Energy Barriers depend on one's cultivation but they were so wrong about it. Who knows just how much experimentation they have to do in order to clear this task.
”Alright. You guys saw the demonstration, now it's up to you on how you will acheive it.” Victor said as he deactivated his Energy Barrier, ”Remember, asking for clues from you classmates is fine, but don't completely rely on them. They won't be the one who will cultivate for you, so it has to be you own efforts.”
”Are there any questions?”
No one said anything for now, the class remembered their lessons and everything they experienced today would need time to be slowly realized and added to their knowledge.
”Since no one has any questions, then class dismissed. Oh, Raven please stay for a bit, I'll have some matters to discuss with you.”
Raven nodded and said goodbye to Luna and the rest. In the wreckage of the training field, only Victor and Raven remained. Their eyes met for a bit, Raven scrutinize Victor closely and he was pretty sure that the other was doing the same to him as well.
Raven had a little impression of this person, but this was from the rumors during his past life. They said that Victor is a very capable man, some of his actions might appear very suspicious but he's very loyal to the kingdom.
”Well, I'll be.” Victor said after inspecting Raven in a close proximity, ”I did not expect Luis' son to be this impressive.”
Raven's brow rasied up as soon as he heard him say this, he then replied: ”Teacher's acquainted with my Dad?”
Victor laughed, his expression turned into a melancholic one. ”Acquainted? Yes, very acquainted. We we're once part of the Genius Class.”
Raven's eyes widened, he didn't know that! He knew that his father made it onto the genius class before but he never knew that Victor attended the class with him.
”It's understandable that you have no idea, my apperance went under a complete transformation since then. I used to be fat, obese even, back in the day.”
When Victor said this, an image suddenly surfaced in his mind. His eyes widened once more as the image in his head gradually overlapped with the current image in front of him.
”Oh! So you're that guy!” Raven exclaimed, the only reason why he realized this was because his mother used to show him some albums when he was a child, and there was one image there where the whole genius class was gathered.
'Now that I think about it.' Raven thought, 'He awfully looked a lot like Fatty Rupert when teacher was in his youth, are they related?'
”Is Teacher related to Rupert?” Raven asked, unable to hold his curiosity.
”Yes.” Victor didn't deny this at all and confirmed it with a nod, ”That fat child is my nephew.”
”Oh, I see.”
”How's your Dad doing? It's been years since we last talked.” Victor asked.
”He's been doing great. He broke through Silver Knight not too long ago, that made him even more inspired in his work.” Raven shared.
Delight flashed on Victor's face when he heard this, he smiled and said: ”Good, that is indeed a good news. He finally escaped that quagmire.”
Silence reigned between them for a bit, Raven saw Victor hesitating before placing a determined expression on his face. He looked at Raven and asked:
”Are you willing to join the Eternal Horizon Clan?”
