177 Taking the Throne (1/2)

”Welcome back Tsuji, Katsumi”, a woman who looked like an older version of Tsuji welcomed her with a wide smile as Tsuji made her way along with her younger sister inside the Imperial Palace.

The woman kept on smiling towards the duo but they did not pay nay heed to her presence as they made their way towards their room their mind swirling with various thoughts.

The woman's eyebrow twitched a couple of time as a terrifying aura of 1st rank Golden Immortal hit them with full force making them kneel as well as bringing them out of their dazed state as she roared out to them, ”TSUJI, KATSUMI I NEVER RAISED YOU TWO WITH SUCH POOR MANNERS, I GREETED YOU AND YOU TWO HAD THE AUDACITY TO PASS IN FRONT OF ME WITH EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING MY PRESENCE.”

Tsuji spoke with an astonished tone, ”Mother since when have you been standing here?”

The woman suddenly had the urge to slap her daughter but she reigned in her temper as she spoke, ”I was standing here since you two entered the palace but it seemed you two were not paying attention and I wonder why is that?”

As they were about to answer they were prevented by the arrival of the Emperor of Habakar Dynasty who asked curiously, ”Love why are so angry at our cute daughters what did they do to incur your wrath today.”

Accompanying the Emperor was none other than the Crown Prince Yoshitoshi who just smirked as he spoke, ”Oh I hope it is not that Ryuu fellow who managed to capture my sisters' hearts.”

The Emperor was stunned as his visage darkened as he spoke, ”Oh it seems I will have to speak with this Ryuu fellow.”

Tsuji sighed as she spoke, ”Yes it is about Ryuu and no we are not smitten with him it is actually something else.”

At that the other three gave their undivided attention towards her as Tsuji's mother spoke, ”What else did the young man do I have already heard him saving you two as well as our future daughter-in-law but now what else did he do?”

Katsumi began speaking as she began to reminisce the events that occurred a few hours prior, ”Well it began with .....”

Few hours ago,

Katsumi: ”Ryuu you are now going to try the 'Hidden Dragon Obelisk', when you touch it push your Ki as you speak your name out loud, I know you might have seen people doing it while standing waiting for your turn at the queue I would like to still remind you the rules also if you opt out now no one will think badly about you we promise we will forget about the whole ordeal.”

Ryuu just rolled his eyes he would love watching their jaw drop on the floor as he spoke, ”You should have at least let me pay the fee for using the Obelisk.”

Tsuji snorted as she spoke,” You already decide to wait in the long queue and being our guest we cannot ask you to pay for something as a fee.”

Ryuu wanted to argue but like the last few times he knew they would not listen to him as such with a sigh he went towards the Obelisk with his hands outstretch he touched the ice cold surface of the 'Hidden Dragon Obelisk', as he poured his KI and stated his name loud for everyone to hear, ”RYUU!”

The 'Golden Immortal Fairy' school's students along with their chaperons which included Yura were all standing wanted to witness the spectacle in front of them their presence had drew the attention ofmany people who had focused their entire attention towards Ryuu.

At first nothing happened for a couple of seconds before the surface became hot as the Obelisk gave off a calm silver colored light before it let out what seemed to be a roar a draconic roar to be exact as the names moved downwards the leading name which had been on top of the Obelisk which had stood unmoving for centuries suddenly took a step down causing everyone heart to stop beating it seemed as the undefeated King had finally met his match and was forced to abdicate as anew name was written its place in dazzling golden letters, 'Ryuu 15yrs. 9th rank Void Immortal'.

Couple of thud was heard as Ryuu finished inspecting his name that had appeared as well as the material which was used to construct the Obelisk he would have taken a chip of it but unfortunately it is a national treasure as such he is not allowed to, 'hmmm the material used must be extremely costly but unfortunately for me it is beyond my meager knowledge to identify it.'

He turned around as he was greeted by jaw droppings and unconsciousness and denial, he saw the two sisters making the perfect imitation of fish causing him to giggle at them he simply raised his finger as he snapped at them bringing them out of their thoughts.

As they shouted out at the same time, ”WHAT WAS THAT? HOW DID YOU ATTAIN SUCH HIGH LEVEL OF CULTIVATION AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE?”
