Chapter 51 - A New Adventure (1/2)
The next morning, Mesa woke up, stretched out his body and yawned. Getting out of bed, he made himself a cup of coffee and some breakfast and took out his phone and just started watching some videos on YouTube and just leisurely taking his time having breakfast.
'Huh... it's been a while since I've last taken a look at those three inside. Wonder what they're doing now?' thought Mesa to himself as he took a look inside the Sky Poison Pearl and what he saw REALLY surprised him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside The Sky Poison Pearl
Clone Mesa, Jasmine and Ophis were just having a nice breakfast. All three of them were having an easy breakfast eating some cereal, while Mesa and Jasmine had some coffee, Ophis had a glass of warm chocolate milk. But what was REALLY surprising was the fact that clone Mesa was feeding Ophis her cereal and combing her hair while using the skeletal arms of the Susanoo. With the left hand of the Susanoo, he would feed Ophis a spoonful of cereal and with the Susanoo's right hand he would comb her hair. And the funny thing was, Ophis was acting like it was the most normal thing in the world. She would open her mouth and a giant skeletal hand, that was as big as her body, would very delicately scoop a spoonful of cereal and bring it to her mouth and she would just eat it while another hand giant skeletal hand would hold a comb between the tips of its thumb and index finger and gently comb through her hair.
Jasmine, on the other hand, would occasionally look at this whole thing and have a 'WTF' look on her face before she would focus on her own breakfast and yet every 20 seconds would look again and this repeated itself a number of times before she couldn't take it anymore.
”Alright, I can't keep quit anymore. This looks way too weird. Can you tell me again why you're using the Susanoo's skeletal arms to do this?” asked Jasmine curiously.
”Because this is a new kind of training for me. I am doing this in order to have better energy control because the final stages of the Susanoo are basically titans, made of pure Profound Energy. If I cannot control such enormous amounts of energy, I won't be able to use the final stages or I could cause massive amounts unintended damage to my surroundings because I couldn't control the later stages. So that is why I am using the Susanoo's skeletal arms to these mundane tasks. In order to do it correctly, I must exercise very delicate energy control and this will help me control the Susanoo in its final stages more easily. That's why I am doing this.” Said Mesa
”Ok, I understand it is for training. But it still looks WAY too weird!” said Jasmine.
”I cannot argue with that logic, but you'll get used to it eventually. Just like you got used to everything else. Which reminds me, how is it going with that Dark Souls game I showed you. Still dying dozens of times a day?” said Mesa causing Jasmine to immediately frown.
”... It is just so hard! I have been stuck trying to beat Black Dragon Kalameet for a week now! That stupid dragon just hits so hard and every time I wanna heal, he hits me again and kills me. It is just so frustrating!” said Jasmine angrily.
”Yeah, I know right. But hey, that is how you know it is a true FromSoftware game. It is absolutely merciless and yet super addictive. Normally I would say, just let Ophis beat them, but surprisingly, Ophis is terrible at Dark Souls. Who knew?” said Mesa
”I know right. Dark Souls is seriously the only game I am better at than Ophis. But those bosses can't be any more difficult that stupid black dragon, right?” asked Jasmine.
”Aaaahhh… Poor Jasmine. You have no idea of the hell that are the games of FromSoftware. You have barely completed Darks Souls 1. There's still Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne and Sekiro left for you to play. And let me tell you, they have bosses that will truly show you hell like you have never seen before.” Said Mesa causing Jasmine to feel despair.
”Like… What?” asked Jasmine hesitantly.
”You'll find out for yourself. And I have a piece of advice for you to make Dark Souls easier for you: ”Git Gud”.” Said Mesa causing Jasmine to get frustrated.
”Is that your only piece of advice?” Asked Jasmine frustrated.
”It is the only one that can help you.” Said Mesa with a smile.

Outside the Sky Poison Pearl.
”Huh…. Well, guess I am the only one who can say that I saw someone use the Susanoo to comb a little girl's hair. Well anyways, I have got other things to do.”
After Mesa drank his coffee and ate his breakfast, he left his room and was going to exit. On the way there, he could pick up the other disciples talking about how Murong Yi was found dead this morning in his bed, that it was Feng Baiyi who killed him and how he was found dead as well in an alley with a knife in his chest. Apparently, Murong Yi's family had gotten angry with Feng Baiyi's family and they were on the verge of going to war with each other because Feng Baiyi was last seen when he entered Murong Yi's room.
