32 I Will Take This One (1/2)

The crowd watched as Revi took the girl away. Since most of them were in Orb Birth - Heaven, they could tell that Revi was much stronger than them. If Arnin was able to make Revi do his bidding, then what could they do to him?

”That kid is too strong. Where did he come from? He looks like he is part of the youngest group, so how could he be so strong?” The people in the crowd couldn't help but wonder. They wanted to go up and talk to Arnin and figure out his secrets, but after seeing what happened to the girl, they decided against that notion.

Inside the house, Arnin sat quietly in the middle. He took over the girl's house by force, which was something he didn't mind, however there were some things inside the house which belonged to the girl. He didn't have a use for them, so he thought of tossing them out. Some of the items included clothes, books, and even some other personal belongings. Grabbing all of her things, Arnin shoved them inside a wooden box that was in the corner. He then picked the box up and took it outside.

Just as he was about to open the door, something fell out the box. It was a book. Arnin placed the box down and leaned down to pick it up, however the second he touched it, he felt a bunch of essence begin to gather around him. He was surprised by such a phenomenon. Arnin looked at the title of the book and couldn't help but smile.

Water Fist Battle Technique.

It was a battle technique. Arnin hadn't seen any of these yet, but he knew of their existence. In his past life, there were many things just like this. Not only that, he made his own battle techniques as well. The black gas that was released from his horns wasn't a battle technique, they were something he gained after his powers reached a certain level. However, the wall of black gas that appeared in his village was a certain battle technique that he had created. It made the gas into an impenetrable wall that would deflect or cause damage, depending on his will.

This battle technique was the first one that he saw in this world. He was intrigued by the essence of Afloria so he decided to see what kind of battle techniques there were. He opened up the book and began to read.

”The essence of the world begins to form a cyclone inside the orb. Splitting of the catastrophe leads the hands, forming a smooth sphere of essence. The sphere absorbs impacts of other parties, leading to collection of esse…” As Arnin read through the technique, he wasn't greatly impressed by the concept. He was able to understand it right away. The cyclone that they mentioned was basically the essence creating a type of whirlpool in the orb. That whirlpool then becomes a thick, water-like essence which travels to the fist. Once it reaches there, it creates a glove that can absorb a certain amount of impact, and direct it back to whoever the user wants. It may seem to be strong, however it can only absorb so much. If the power is too strong, then the sphere won't be able to absorb the impact and it would backfire onto the user. It was a low level skill.

”Such a useless skill.” Arnin coughed, before throwing it back into the box. He needed to acquire better manuals and learn from them. The Water Fist was too weak for him. He also planned to make his own techniques, so he needed to find a way to learn more about the orb and the essence.

He walked outside and threw the box onto the ground.

”Are you the person who injured the young mistress?” Just as Arnin was about to turn around and walk back into the house, he heard a raspy voice from behind. He turned around and found an old woman glaring at him. She was wearing the same clothes as Xillar. Her eyes were cold when she looked at Arnin, as if she wanted to kill him.

”Young mistress? Oh, you mean that girl? Yeah, it was me. What about it?” Arnin looked at the woman with a mocking smile. He could already feel the ill intent from the woman. The woman might be the guardian or something for the girl, which meant that she probably came from a pretty good background.

”Insolence! How dare you even touch the young mistress?” The woman shouted at Arnin as if he was her greatest enemy. Arnin only smiled at her with mockery. He hated people that would come to him and spout nonsense like that.

”Not only did I dare to injure her, I would do it again, even if I knew who she was.” Arnin stepped forward and spoke with great arrogance. He could feel that he was no match for the woman in front of him, however as a teacher of the academy, she wasn't able to do anything to him.

”Y-you arrogant… come with me! I will get you expelled from this academy right this instant!” The woman walked forward and tried to grab Arnin, however she suddenly felt a huge aura restrict her movements.

”Teacher Zesiro, what do you think you are doing?” All of a sudden, a person walked out from behind the woman. Arnin looked over and his face darkened. It was Teacher Xillar.

”Teacher Xillar, this man injured the young mistress. Don't tell me I can't even apprehend this little kid?” The woman was fuming when she was stopped. Although she was strong, her strength was still below that of Xillar's.

”Apprehend? Do you really think that is fair? The Moth group is bound to have injuries and competition. Just because the young mistress was injured, that doesn't mean that the person who injured her should get in trouble. The Moth group will always be like this. Are you saying that we will have to get rid of every person who hurts another?” Xillar looked at Zesiro with a smile.

Zesiro grumbled for a minute before turning around and walking away. ”Teacher Xillar, you better be able to explain this to her father.” The woman spoke before vanishing from the area. Xillar took a deep sigh of relief before looking towards Arnin. He expected a look of gratitude, or something along those lines, however he didn't get any of that. Rather, Arnin's face was dark and he looked angry.

”What happened? Why do you seem upset?” Xillar asked quickly. He couldn't help but feel that something happened.

”Were you watching me? How did you get here at such a perfect moment?” Arnin asked through gritted teeth. He never expected Xillar to appear at such an good time. It was too much of a coincidence for that to happen, and Arnin didn't believe it was unintentional.

Xillar was shocked before he put on an awkward smile.

”U-uh, yeah, I was watching. I was curious to see what you would do when you first arrived. I have no ill intent, so don't worry about that. Still, do you know who that girl was?” Xillar tried to quickly change the subject and questioned Arnin. When he was watching Arnin, he didn't expect to see him injure that girl. She was an important person that had a good background.

”No, I don't know who she is, however it doesn't matter. She was a nuisance, so I took her out.” Arnin spoke casually about the issue, which almost caused Xillar to trip.

'Doesn't matter? Nuisance? You were the one who barged into her house and you call her a nuisance? What the heck is wrong with you?' Xillar felt that Arnin was a little too much.

”Then let me explain. Her name is Monifa Neige and she is the youngest daughter of a very powerful clan leader. Although he can't do anything to you in the academy, once you leave, he is able to kill you if he wishes.” Xillar looked at Arnin weirdly. Why would he attack someone he doesn't even know?

”Whether he can kill me or not is dependent on his skills. Plus, isn't the Moth group supposed to encourage competition, so why are you saying that as though I made a mistake?” Arnin was feeling displeased. The rules clearly stated that competition was allowed, so it shouldn't matter who he beats up. It was in the rules.

Xillar look at Arnin and nodded his head.

'It is true that competitions are allowed, which is why the school is not going to lecture or punish you because of this incident. However, the parents and families of students don't have to follow this rule outside of school. I am just warning you to be careful. People here are from great backgrounds, so don't just beat someone up because you want to.” Xillar spoke to Arnin without any anger present.

”Teacher, thanks for your information, but I will do as I please. Also, if you continue to watch me, then make sure that you do it without me finding out. I may be weak now, but I have ways to tear this academy down without wasting an ounce of energy.” Arnin threatened with a glare.

'This kid is too much. I just saved him from that old woman, and now he is threatening me?' Xillar felt fury boiling up inside of him, but he managed to control himself. He nodded his head, and then vanished from sight.
