Indignation filled Arran as he thought of how the Eiree did not explain such a piece of crucial information in a way that would not lead to any misinterpretation on the part of the listener.
Someone else who had heard this information may very well accept the truth which would lead to an accident of massive proportions.
Looking back at the Eiree, Arran was currently thinking to himself. Right now, Arran was trying to figure out just how much of the information that he had gleaned from the Eiree was actually trustworthy but after much thought, he could not tell at all. So he decided to take everything it said with a grain of salt.
Unbeknownst to the doubts that had risen in Arran from its actions, the Eiree... unconcerned with the consequences of its action... continued 'educating' Arran.
"I've told you all about the realm of Demis so to answer your earlier question about the exception to the rule concerning mortals."
"In the universe, there are cer
The morning exercise was truly grueling.The entire unit ran ten laps around the arena that was 5 kilometers around. By the third lap, Arran was already finding it had to carry on, and by the time of the 8th, he was reduced to a slow crawl.It was only through the sheer force of his will that Arran was able to complete the entire run. What ticked Arran off about the entire situation was that all through the run, he was receiving ridiculing looks from the other cadets in the unit.The unit Arran was a part of was made up of some fifty-something cadets who came from a host of different backgrounds all of whom formed their own different groups where those from a less influential background flocked around those from more influential backgrounds.After observing the interactions between the cadets, Arran was able to identify and categorize a few of those groups.The first group which was also the one with the most numbers, this group was formed by a few
'What am I seeing?' Instructor Fel asked herself.Watching the light show displayed on Arran's body as essence energy flooded into his body ravenously like how dry soil consumed water after a severe drought, she was well and truly flummoxed.Instructor Fel was over a thousand years old... just barely crossing over from adolescence according to the standards of the Aeth. She was at that age where she yearned to prove herself but had also outgrown the natural impulsiveness of youth.Having to prove one's worth in the cruel universe was a difficult task more so when it had to be done in a race such as the Aeth.In the universe, the Aeth is considered a war-like race that focused on the path of conquest. Apart from the high realm from which they originated, the Aeth had also conquered a host of other realms ranging from multiple lower and middle realms to even some other high realms.To be able to be granted a post as an instructor in one of their most
While everybody was busy enjoying the show, for Arran it was a completely different experience.Currently what Arran was experiencing could be said to be indescribable.From the moment that instructor Fel started channeling essence energy into his body, Arran's consciousness was immediately pulled into a vast and boundless space.Like an old cinema movie being played backward, Arran found his awareness of his environment being played in the reverse as he had a feeling that he was ascending into the heavens.He saw himself as he stood in the arena, endless light flooding around him as they made their way into his body. He noticed the anxious and somewhat puzzled expression on instructor Fel's face as she sought to understand what was happening to him.He also saw the slight panic in the faces of some of the cadets as well as the obvious glee on the face of Kellogg as he enjoyed what he thought to be a misfortune suffered by himself.When the
The best physique for refining energy?No bottlenecks in the refinement realmDoubts filled the thoughts of all those who were gathered here.It could not be helped. If someone were to tell you willy-nilly that they had developed the cure for old age and that if you followed what they said then you could live forever, obviously anybody in his right mind would be doubtful of such claim.That was how it was for those hearing the vice dean's words.As much as the vice-dean was known to be very trustworthy and he would not spout nonsense, at the end of the day what he was saying turned out to be entirely unbelievable.Unable to stop herself anymore, miss Rouxine loudly said."Oy, you old coot, what nonsense are you spouting. Listen in life you have to be an upright person and not exaggerate such things lest you call upon the wrath of heaven. You can eat as much shit as you want but you cannot utter as much nonsense as you fancy."S
What was the most important thing to a person in the universe?His individual strength!Only with powerful strength would an individual be assured to be able to carve a portion of the territories of the universe for themself.Then what was the most important thing for a race's civilization?The collective strength of all citizens of that civilization.It was only with this will there be new blood to inject into a civilization's conquest of the universe.Right now as an individual, Arran's talent would ensure that given enough time he would possess the necessary strength needed to make a place for himself in the universe and as an Aeth... more so a noble kingsman... when Arran became powerful in the future his strength would also become the strength of the Aeth.With the new realization the way everybody looked at Arran changed.Before for the virtue of his kingsman bloodline, the Aeth was already willing to nurture him heavily,
The reality gate!It sure sounded majestic enough, Arran thought."Doesn't it sound so majestic?"Raising an eyebrow, the vice dean asked Arran with a smile on his lips.The tips of Arran's ears turned red as he was caught with his thoughts. Looking at the smile on the face of the vice dean, Arran was convinced that the old man somehow had a way of reading his thoughts.Finished with teasing Arran the vice dean continued with his explanation."When I say that the reality gate is unique to the Aeth when it comes to understanding the laws that make up the universe what I mean is that for the Aeth when we get to that threshold required to advance in our abilities, the reality gate will manifest itself in our sea of consciousness and it is by opening the gate that we are able to increase our abilities.""It could be said that the reality gate is the only way for us to do so since it is an inborn existence that no other race has access to.
A few minutes after the incident with Arran had seen a close, commander Margo could be seen coming out of an office the was located in the sky.All around the office all that could be seen were purple clouds that flashed with traces of lightning like a storm was brewing in them but amazingly the office was without any barriers to prevent the clouds from flowing through it.The office was an open-air office that was completely open to the elements and all that furnished this office was a transparent platform where there were only a desk and chair resting on it with a few odds and ends on the desk and behind the desk sat the figure of the old vice dean.Watching as commander Margo made her outside and over the horizon, the vice dean sat for a while in contemplation as he thought about the events of the day.These events seemed to remind him of things that had happened in the past.As the vice dean thought, his mind wandered to 400 years ago.A
The next day, Arran was once again at the combat arena and he had just finished the morning exercise. One thing that was worth noting was that he currently did not finish in such a horrible manner as he did yesterday. This could be attributed to all that energy that he absorbed yesterday that slightly raised his fitness level to a new height today.After the exercise, Arran was also singled out like yesterday as he would this time be instructed on how to further increase his fitness level and upgrade his mortal body to that of a Demi.As Arran stepped out, different pairs of eyes were looking at him. Behind those eyes was the light of curiosity. The cadets were wondering if there would be another commotion just like yesterday.Fortunately or not, there wasn't.Standing before instructor Fel, Arran waited as she said, "Cadet Galen, yesterday because of certain events which you are aware of, we could not go on with the training that was designed for you, an
