48 Chapter 19.5: The Principle of Shadows (1/2)

Arriving at the training grounds I prepared myself to receive training in what the others called;The Principle of Shadows.

I was told to meet up with Geo and the others but could not find anyone, as I was unable to find them I decided it was best to focus on my cultivation for the time being.

Meanwhile, Geo and June went to a private room as Alexandra had ordered her to entertain Geo until they were readily stabilizing the seal.

June was eager as she pulled Geo along as rapidly as she could. Finally,alone she couldn't let this chance slip by. As she had found the true winner of the tournament. Geo didn't know what to expect when June quickly closed the door behind them.

”Finally, alone... no one who can disturb us now.”

June flicked the lock of the door making sure escape was futile. Not wanting to raise suspension she quickly moved towards Geo who was unaware of her intentions at the time.

Pushing him against the wall Geo didn't know what came over this woman, but decided she must have lost it in front of his manly charms.

”Right... so... what is it exactly that you were planning to do?”

Geo asked getting close to grasping what June wanted. Only to see a smiling sexy woman blocking the only way out.

”Oh dear... if only you knew, haha. We are gonna have so much fun together.”

Realizing there was no way out Geo decided it was best to own the moment like a man.June was hanging over Geo ready to strike at her prey. But was he?

Geo quickly grabbed her nice firm butt tightly making June flinch.

”Hiiiii! That's not what I was thinking about you perv, Although I might be in the mood for just that later on.”

June grabbed one of Geo's hands who held her butt cheek firmly and tightened her grip.Showing Geo, she was in the mood for such things later. I was sent here with more pressing matters I'm afraid.

”Which are?” ”I was brought here by the high council of Mineral to find and recruit the strongest survivors of the tournament, allowing them to quickly rise in ranks and giving them a bright future to look forward too. You see, although not much has been revealed to the participants there are certain reasons for the tournament to be held.

While weeding out the weak they emphasize and nurturing the strong in this tournament it is also known as a cornerstone to finding suitable drift candidates.”

While understanding half of what June was telling Geo got confused by the other half.

”Drift candidates, what are those?”

”Well, to explain let me take it from the beginning.

Drifters are adventurers who not only explore dungeons but are skilled enough to go on an expedition to other words, as they will travel through rifts and portals ”drifting” towards the other side, hence the name ”drifter”.”

Starting to make sense of it all Geo scratched his head.

”So... seeing as how far you are willing to go, you wish to ”recruit” me, right?”

June smiled.

”I'm glad you are so quick on the uptake.

Yes, I wish to invite you to come and adventure for our guild in Mineral. I represent one of the many guilds in the capital. Please, let me introduce myself once more.

My name is June Serpentine. One of the members of the Serpentine Guild. In a few weeks, there will be an expedition towards uncharted ruins in the heart of the forests around Sharoo. This will be a good test to see what you are made of Geo Birchwood.

I too will participate in this expedition, keeping an eye out for more potential candidates. Since I know what your elemental affinity is called it might be interesting to teach you the appropriate cultivation technique that's associated with it.”

Geo had a twinkle in his eyes as he believed June to be speaking the truth.

”Tell me, tell me!! Does it involve wide flashy movement or maybe even grappling moves?”

June slapped his face as Geo's ignorance annoyed her a bit.

”No you fool... don't you remember, we just checked out your elemental affinity, which showed you what element(s) is most suited for you. In your case, it was Spiritual Forest affinity.Which shows why you resonated not only with earth elemental magic but also with nature magic,made later on even life magic!

The technique I would like to teach you is befitting to your name as it is the Sacred Birchwood Technique. Mastering this cultivation technique allows you to draw in essence from nature itself exponentially increasing your cultivation speed.”

June quickly thought Geo the correct words to the technique. To do this she needed to be close. Withering the pronunciations into his ears.

”Listen carefully now as I will only tell you this once.”

Geo nodded allowing June to sit down on his lap, facing towards him with her face. Unable to resist Geo grabbed her firm and round butt tightly.

June noticed Geo was looking at her goods and got a bit annoyed even if she secretly liked it.She put her thumb and index finger around his chin pulling him towards her mouth to him from his delusions.

”Hmmm... I hope you'll pay attention now, boy.We will have time to do all this after the preparations have been made, hope you'll be able to hold till then... This is important for your and my future alike. Not to mention the future of this world as we know it.”

Getting even closer June began reciting the pronounce.
