28 New Legacy Inheritors (1/2)
Finally, the team was able to leave as. .h.i.ttan made his way out to the courtyard.
”You must have been exhausted from the battle, Boss?” Falkner looked at him curiously as he asked something the group was thinking.
”Truthfully, I'm just as shocked as you all, sleeping in for a whole day. But I'm more refreshed than I've ever been! Haha!” Once he thought of the dreams he couldn't help but feel refreshed and happy!
The group would soon meet up with the rest of the cla.s.s and as. .h.i.ttan scanned the students, doing a mental student attendance check. He found two faces hiding from his vision and three unexpected visitors with one being Headmaster Fahim. Headmaster Fahim stood with the Emerald haired girl and next to them was a Garnet coloured hair boy around the same age as his group.
Obviously Hittan had a few questions for these 5 people. But first, he greeted his cla.s.s then went over to Headmaster Fahim.
”Greetings Headmaster. I see that we have two more added to the group?”
”That's right Hittan. This Emerald hair Princess to my left is from the Emerald Clan, Lagina. While to my right is the new young master of the Garnet Clan and true inheritors of the Basilisk legacy, Cale. Step closer boy, Hittan won't attack you.”
”A relative of the Aapo family I see and I a.s.sume that Ms Lagina is of the Xuanwu legacy?”
”Yes, they are as you've said. However, Cale is from a lower household of the family and bears no ill will towards the Academy for his distant uncle's pa.s.sing.”
”Oh.”
”So you are Hittan, the famous student teacher at Sky Element Academy.”
”Yes, indeed that is me, Ms Lagina. I hope you took my advice the other day to heart.”
”...”
”Oh, you know each other?”
”Not really Headmaster, just in pa.s.sing.”
”Okay, I will leave them in your hands. But keep in mind our departure time draws near.”
”Understood Headmaster.”
As Headmaster Fahim took his leave he rea.s.sured the two new students that they were in capable hands. Hittan also took the time to formally welcome them to the cla.s.s before going to greet the Princesses.
”Sorry Ladies, I can't believe I slept the whole day and neglected you again. I was stuck reliving moments of my past life in a dream.” Hittan began blus.h.i.+ng the moment he thought about it and so did the girls!
Noticing both their rosy cheeks and pendant turning red Hittan began suspecting if they were somehow aware.
”Ladies, if you don't mind my asking, but were you both… sleeping all day as well?”
”... Yes. We were asleep…” Kaija hesitantly replied.
”We somehow felt very tired and before we knew it. It was time for the training session.” Kaia added.
”Did you both… you know… see me, in your dreams? No, forget it. That would be… crazy.” Hittan tried to dismiss the thought.
”What... if we did? Does... husband… not like us, knowing… how much he… loves us?” Kaia struggled to get her words out as she spoke while looking at the ground.
Hittan was taken aback for a second. Because he knew the way she said ”husband,” she meant it.
”We, know… you suffered because of us. We… abandoned you. But you never gave up on finding us… saving us.” Kaija peeped at Hittan even though her head was also down when she spoke.
Hittan just realised that Kaija really did have a more confident and aggressive personality. Despite Kaia being more outspoken. But he wondered how much would they be affected by seeing their future actions in the present? Would it affect their actions and personality going forward?
Kaija looked at Kaia for a moment before approaching Hittan closely and whispered, ”we promise, this time it is different too. We won't make the same mistakes again and leave you.” Matching her sister's actions Kaia stepped forward and added, ”we will wait for the day that you have the power to take us with you. I wouldn't mind living in the forest…”
Thankfully, the cla.s.s seemed to have grown accustomed to Hittan and the girls being alone and had backed away to give them some s.p.a.ce. Something that further annoyed Lagina, but she kept her mouth shut this time and waited patiently for them to finish their conversation.
”Husband…”
”Husband…”
”My wives, it seems our fates are truly tied and unavoidable. Ladies, I love you both.”
”We can't escape loving you.” Kaija blushed in her response as she stared at him.
”Hehe, remember, this life or any other we are still your wives.” Finally, Kaia summoned the courage to look Hittan in the eyes as she spoke.
”I know, and I would have it no other way.”
As. .h.i.ttan went back to the cla.s.s the girls followed and stood with team New Hope.
”Cla.s.s, this week's training will be different, more intense! I give you all that warning ahead of time.
Ultimately, Mortal Ascension is about restructuring your body. That requires one to destroy themselves. Then allow the heat to remould you into something stronger. Once you have destroyed your old structure then your Mineral Core will be free to push you to the next level. However, something like this requires a controlled environment. I know that this may seem like a radical idea to most so those unwilling and below the tier 1 Diamond Rank will be exempted from this training. If you are unwilling, then simply sit and meditate at your threshold limit and progress the normal safe way.
Okay, let's go!”
WHOOs.h.!.+
The cla.s.s was once again greeted by a world of rippling white and sparks of fire from the air friction.
1200°C - ”Rank: Corundum. Temperature range: 1201 - 1350°C.” The familiar voice of the Trial Guardian was heard as they were placed at the most appropriate Rank stage.
”For those that are below the Diamond Rank start your meditation here and slowly move as you adapt to the temperature. We will return in 5 days.” As. .h.i.ttan addressed the cla.s.s it was obvious to him that only his wives and team members would be going forward. The only additional people were the new members Cale and Lagina.
”The rest of us will descend further!” With that Hittan led the rest of the group below.
1250°C
1350°C - ”Rank: Diamond. Temperature range: 1351 - 2500°C.” The voice of the Trial Guardian was head once more. Mark of the Alicorn group stopped here on the verge of stepping into the Diamond Ranks. The Group advised him of the same and continued.
1450°C
1550°C
1700°C
1800°C
