73 Marrow Cleansing (2/2)
The flame of determination flared in his heart. He sighed and decided to throw this at the back of his head first, there will be time for all of this later. For now, he had to focus at the task at hand.

The class finished without any interruptions.
Old Lee was surprised to see Raven and his crew present on his class once more. What surprised him even more was the fact that they all reached Marrow Cleansing Stage. Appreciation emerged at the very depths of his heart. He remembered back in the day when Raven free Luna from the curse that tormented her since childhood, in a blink of an eye, she now had friends beside her and they are doing their best to usher a better future for the kingdom.
”Is there anything that I could help you?”
He asked feigning ignorance about their purpose even though it was as clear as day for him. Nevertheless, Raven and his crew rode along with the act.
”We are here to give our thanks for your tutelage, and that we are asking for permission to be promoted the Inner Branch of the Institute.”
When the whole class heard Raven's proclamation, they gasped in shock and awe. Silence followed by a huge outburst of reactions from every student that's present happened.
”Huh!? What's he on? Promotion?”
”He's crazy.”
”He's insane.”
”Did he lost a few screws on his head during the time he was gone?”
”Heh, what a dumb guy.”
”If it were my goddess and savior Luna, that asked for a promotion, I would believe it, but this guy? Fat chance!”
”What does he think he's doing?”
”I don't know, being embarrassing I guess…”
”I've seen many ways on how people boast, this guy…is on another level.”
And so on and so forth. Honestly, it was such a headache for Old Lee to hear. He raised his hand and glared at the talkative students, he then said: ”Silence.”
His voice was amplified by energy so it resounded to each corner of the room. The students shivered and sank back to their desk. Seeing the students calm down, Old Lee returned his attention to Raven and his crew to maintain the act.
”You people should know the requirements for the Promotion right?”
”We are aware sir.” Raven nodded to him and looked towards his crew. They nodded to each other and decided to flare their cultivation bases for everyone to see and feel.
The whole room became heavy, the student felt a lump on their throats as they felt the pressure that these people are releasing. A thin curtain of blue light covered their bodies, to some, it looked like their bodies were on fire since movement to light curtain resembled a flickering flames.
Old Lee watched with glistening eyes, how lively and tangible these auras are. He was full of glee to see that even though their cultivations were too fast, their foundations are firm and steady. This was the product of natural breakthroughs, which Raven heavily plastered onto their minds.
”Paul Gregory, 14 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
”Mark Anderson, 14 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
”Ellen Redcrest, 13 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
”Anne Fiore, 13 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
”Luna Moonsong, 13 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
”Vendrick Valorheart, 13 years old. Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm.”
As they announced this, silence permeated inside the classroom.
