30 Unexpected Humiliation (1/2)

Arnin slowly walked through the large residential area. It was like a small village. As he progressed with the key in his sleeves, he noticed that the smaller houses belonged to children around his own age. There weren't many that were around his age, possibly five or so, but it seemed that as he progressed, the bigger the students got, so did the houses.

While he walked, the students that were outside their own lodges noticed Arnin. They were surprised to see that instead of occupying one of the first houses, he kept on going forward. They thought that maybe he was confused as to how the lodging worked, but the look in Arnin's eyes didn't look confused or lost. Everyone looked at him, but no one approached. Some people looked without any emotions, others with some pity, while a few even had the intent to fight written all over their faces.

Slowly, he progressed and the houses continued to get larger. He needed to get to the end of the residential area and would need to find one of the largest houses. However, that was all the information that was given to him. There was nothing on the characteristics of the house or even the number plate to distinguish it. Arnin noticed the various looks that were thrown towards him, however he ignored them all.

Even though he ignored their stares, he still inspected the cultivations of each of the people. He was surprised from what he gathered. The five year olds were still in Orb Birth - Earth, however they were reaching the pinnacle. As the ages increased so did the cultivation. He finally understood why the Moth group was considered a place for talented people. Finally, he reached the end of the place and noticed that the ages here were around twenty. Not only that, but the students were at least at Essence Manifest. Some were younger then Brajus and Dane, but their cultivation still surpassed them.

At the end of the residential area, he found that the houses were extremely large. They were smaller then the one the village elder had, however only by a small amount. Just as he reached the area he heard a voice from behind.

”Little kid. What are you doing over here? This area is for the older students.” The voice contained some anger. Arnin turned around only to find a group of students who looked to be around the age of twenty. The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of the group. He had shoulder length black hair, and jet black eyes. He was tall and dashing, especially with the tattoo drawn over his left eye. It looked like a tattoo of a blue diamond.

Arnin didn't answer the question and only pulled out his black key and shook it in front of their eyes. Vilis also walked forward in order to defend Arnin. The cultivations of the people in front were all above Orb Birth - Heaven. They were stronger than Arnin.

”It was for older students. Since I will be living here from now on, it is also for smaller kids.” Arnin stared directly into the eyes of the leader. He didn't threaten the guy, but his deep stare still intimidated him. He took a couple steps back when he saw Arnin's stare. However, because of this action he felt his face become deep crimson.

”What do you mean? Who gave you that key? Give it to me!” The leader felt humiliated, so he angrily spoke to Arnin. He even stretched out his hand to grab the key, however Arnin just pulled back his hand and shoved the key back into his sleeve. Vilis took another step forward and growled at the leader.

”What do you think you are doing? Don't touch something that isn't yours.” Arnin felt a little annoyed at the leader's attitude and his sudden reach for the key. Although he was young, he wasn't someone that could be bullied so easily. He had his own dignity as a past Demon Lord, so why would he let others push him around?

Noticing Vilis getting angry, the leader and the group took a few steps back. It was known that a beast was usually stronger than a cultivator of the same realm. The reason behind this was because of the beast's strong physical body. It surpassed those of humans, which allowed beasts to be more difficult to deal with. This was the reason that Von and Jelen had a difficult time dealing with Vilis inside the forest. (Author note: Von and Jelen were the two people that Arnin met and killed. Von was stabbed through Arnin's oscar winning acting, and Jelen was the brawny man that Arnin kind of toyed with until he eventually killed.)

The leader of the group had a cultivation of Essence Manifest - Sky, while the rest were still in the Earth smaller realm. Vilis, who was sitting a Rank One - Hell beast, was much stronger than the whole group.

”Kid, control your beast.” Feeling humiliated once again, the seething leader glared at Arnin.

”You want me to control my beast? Well, aren't I doing that right now? If you don't scramble away now, my pet here can be controlled in different ways.” Arnin had a wicked smile on his face, which caused the group to look straight into Vilis' menacing eyes. They felt a shiver run down their back.

”You better watch your back kid. Once I call the seniors over, they will handle both you and your beast.” The leader ran with his tail between his legs, but not forgetting to threaten Arnin. When Arnin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

”Vilis, go bring me that loud-mouth.” Arnin stood there standing with his arms crossing over his chest. ”Try not to kill him though.” Arnin warned Vilis.

Vilis quickly chased after the group which his eyes shining brightly. The group never expected that Arnin wouldn't even let them go, however they kept running.

”H-hey kid, stop your beast!” The leader yelled while he ran. Arnin ignored his yell and only waited silently. A few moments later, Vilis, with the leader in his mouth, waked back valiantly.

”You want to bring back some stronger people since you couldn't handle my beast? Just for that line, you will be accompanying me with finding my lodging.” Arnin didn't know where he was supposed to stay, so he decided to use the leader to find his abode.

When the leader found that he was not going to be killed, he released a sigh of relief, however his eyes contained a deep hatred for Arnin. If the beast wasn't present, he would have given him a thrashing.

Arnin ignored his stare and continued to walk around. ”Tell me, I don't know how to find my lodge, how do I know which one is mine?” Arnin asked the leader as he walked. All he knew that his house was very large, but he was given no other information. He was honestly at a loss. He didn't want to go and try his key at every door, hoping that it would open. That would be a huge waste of time.

The leader didn't answer his and only turned his head to the side. This displeased Arnin somewhat.

*Grrrrr*

Vilis made a deep growling noise when he saw Arnin being displeased. This caused the leader to panic and his hairs to stand up like soldiers.

”Alright, alright. Can't you tell your beast to let go of me? It's not like I can run from him or anything.” The leader asked with some fear. This fear was was not of Arnin, but of the beast.

”No!” Arnin gave a straight answer without even thinking about it. ”Answer my question. Once I find where I will be staying, you can go.” Arnin didn't want to waste time with the leader, he just wanted to find where he would be staying so that he could continue with his cultivation.
