The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 9: Dax Wilder is not Immature.
“Good, serve him right, his question is the trickiest today,” Dax said with a victorious nod.“I can’t imagine him entering the Academy with us,” One of his two friends who had challenged Elaris earlier said.“There’s no need for you to imagine it. He is not going to enter with us.” Another agreed.Just ten seats away from them, a man sitting beside Tarex turned to him.“What do you think, Tarex?”He was dressed in a white material that wasn't as smooth as Tarex’s but it was not inferior in matters of quality. The difference in color just made their similarities in features prominent.The same brown eyes and brown hair was enough pointer that they were related.“I don’t know brother,” he replied. “The guy is too weird. I heard that he predicted Lila’s grade and also said that my question was the simplest of all.He might win it but I am sure that he is not going to top my score, Lan!”“Topping your score is hard, your result is Master level,” Lan said and Tarex nodded before they turne

“I heard that he passed, would you look at that?”Whispers started all around as Ashton took him to walk around the academy to get fresh air.“Maybe he managed to muddle through, I guess that the entrance exam is getting easier.”“Easier?” The person scoffed. “Obviously, you didn’t hear the question. I doubt that some students of the Academy would be able to answer it at all.”“Are you saying that he is smart? I have seen him, all he knows is how to behave like a clown.”“It is like a change overnight!”Ashton snickered beside Elaris who just remained peaceful as if he heard nothing they were saying.“You have become a star, everyone knows you now.”“It only means that there are many people waiting for me to fail,”“Can you be less pessimistic in some situations?” Ashton grumbled.“What’s the issue with my brother’s military prowess?” Elaris asked instead.Ashton looked thoughtful for a moment. “I don’t know if I should tell you this but I am just going to go ahead since you have chan
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 11 - Elaris Blackwell Family are Asses, Poor Boy.
The sound of the arrow racing in the air was loud in the suddenly quiet hall, it sounded almost through prolonged.Every eyes remained wide and ears remained open, a needle clattered on the floor somewhere and everyone present heard it. Even when everyone agreed that he had lost the round, they were enraptured by what the result of the action could be.It seemed so slow and hit so fast at the same time but when it finally landed on the target, everyone's eyes opened wide in shock and the speechlessness was jointly agreed on.It had hit the bull’s eye on each target!Ashton continued to stare at the man in front of him with mouth agape, he couldn’t fathom how he was able to achieve it, there was just no way it was possible. He would even argue it but the evidence laid right in front of his eyes.“Ashton, guns,” he asked and Aston quickly brought it to him, he only obeyed because he recognized it as a command, his brain was still stunned.Elaris turned and loaded the gun before he shot
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 12: Lord Rades wasn't Persistent
“Seriously! I can’t believe that you were able to do that?! How was it even possible? Normally, with a single arrow, I wouldn’t be so shocked, but what? All of them at once? Have you always been a genius and didn’t let me know? Then why the hell did you continue to perform when you had such amazing skills? No matter how much I think of it, it doesn’t make any sense! You couldn’t even throw a stone at a target that was right in front of you, you were so weak that I would normally kidnap you away and carry you over my shoulder to make sure that you spend the whole day with me. How is this possible?!”Ashton ranted without taking any break, he continued to talk and for once, not reveling and minding the glances and stares that followed them as they walked away. In fact, his rant garnered more attention too.Elaris face palmed multiple times, willing himself not to just snap at him to keep his mouth shut.He really didn’t need a headache.“How am I even supposed to know? Your brother sti
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 13: Petty Tricks At The Academy
Tarex Cald who had been standing to the side stared at Elaris with hatred, his face was tight and he heart pounded heavily with the immense level of hatred he felt for the guy.His spot had been secured, he was supposed to continue the tradition of making the Cald family get the top position at the entrance examination into the academy—it had been like that for years and it should always be like that.But suddenly, the clown came out of nowhere and decided that the next thing he wanted to do was snatch his top score from him. How dare he do that?The spotlight was important to him and he had always spent ten of the nine days studying, practicing and pushing himself to the very extent, but still, it wasn’t as important as the impression he wanted to secure in Lord Rades’ face.His father got the golden chance of finally inviting Lord Rades into Astrad and had spent a lot of time telling him how much he wanted Tarex to make him proud. Now, not only had Elaris forced him to lose face in
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 14: The Great Elaris Has Spoken
“You should have been there, Caden! I am sure that you would be as stunned as everyone there!” Ashton exclaimed and Caden raised a brow at him in surprise before he turned to look at Elaris who was sitting quietly on the bed with his eyes closed and back against the wall.They have finally settled down in Caden’s room after moving their stuff from their old place to each of their respective rooms, every one of them had to admit that it was better to live inside the mansion which wasn’t as hot as the former almost-ruined house because of the weather.Both Caden and Elaris were definitely going to have a good night's sleep.“Are you sure that you aren’t saying this because you are ‘supporting’ him or something?” Caden asked, still in doubt.“Unless the whole audience and dean suddenly wanted to ‘support’ him, there was no way they would have given him the highest score and said that his result was supreme level, would they?”“But—”“No buts, Caden. Believe me as I say it, your brother w
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 15: Food Poisoning & Fragile Souls
“We have found the culprit!” An exclamation from one of the maids just entering the room broke the suffocating silence in the room and every one turned to look at the maid in surprise.It was Phina’s head maid who was always by her side and in charge of assigning duties to every maid that worked in the mansion.There were two guards behind her, dragging another maid into the place they were.“What do you mean that you found the culprit?” Dax immediately asked, relieved to be able to pin the blame on someone else. It was obvious that the matter would only continue to get worse the more Elaris probe to investigate.He was sure that the verdict he expected to be given to be the culprit was not a simple threat—after his victory at the arena, he had known not to underestimate him.It would be no surprise if Elaris was already aware that it was him and his mother that orchestrated the plan to blind him.“We found her in the kitchen, putting some kind of medicine in the food that was suppose
The Making of a Living Legend Chapter 16: Good-for-nothing Son
“Mrs. Wilder, Lord Rades is here,” The head maid informed Phina and she quickly stood up with wide eyes.“Are you sure about what you are talking about?!”“Yes, Ma’am. The second city Lord of Embrayl is here, at the moment he is standing on the patio.” The head maid confirmed once again.“Invite him in, and quickly send a maid to inform my husband about this. I am sure that he would be very glad about it. Let me entertain them before he is able to make it here.”“Yes, ma’am.”The head maid went out to perform the respective duties that were assigned to her by Phina. It wasn’t long before Lord Wilder himself was down in the living room, he was about to start asking questions when a man entered and indeed, it was Lord Rades.Both husband and woman stared at each other in surprise before hurrying to meet him.“Lord Rades,” They greeted and the man nodded at them.“May I ask what brings you to my humble abode?” Lord Wilder asked, he was so excited to have the extremely rich second city Lo

Chapter 60: Poisoned!
“The poison backfired on the girl, didn't it?” Elaris asked suddenly and the man’s weapon stopped a few inches from Caden's neck.His eyes widened in shock before he whirled over to turn to Elaris, the others exhaled in relief, they were also shocked that he went for Caden instead of any of them but when they thought about it again, it wasn't surprising.“No fair! Trying to hurt the only lady among us.” Oliver scolded as he moved closer to Caden to check his condition.The man’s attention was on Elaris who met his gaze confidently.“H-how did you know about that?” He stuttered and Elaris stared at him from head to toe once again before he shrugged.There was a faint scent of blood and poison on the man, but the splashes on his clothes were bright red that might have been gotten on his during the hunt for a killing but very dark red that a poisoned person coughed out.His sudden request for money also solidified his suspicion, of course, they were bandits who tried to take something fr
Chapter 59: Threatened!
“Ashton! You are here!” Caden exclaimed and Ashton nodded, glancing at him briefly before his gaze was back on the bandit leader and Elaris.The men were already attacking them when they saw that their leader had taken the lead with Elaris, a few blows were exchanged and the sounds of steel colliding was heavy in the air.The man was tall and heavy while Elaris was fast and nimble, putting the former in disadvantage, it didn't help matters that it was just the perfect place suitable for Elaris movements.The fight was over as fast as it had commenced, the men who were fighting Oliver, Caden and Rex also retreated when they saw that their leader had surrendered–it wouldn't make any sense if they continued the futile fight.“We surrender, you can go,” the leader grunted quite harshly, still glaring at Elaris who remained unbothered with a side eye.Even though it might not seem like it to any other person,the bandit leader was very aware that he wasn't on Elaris' level. There was also a
Chapter 58: No Bandits
Oliver hit his back on a tree and slid down while Caden relaxed on another, Elaris remained standing in front of the beast and studying it. The white belly had turned utterly black, merging with the rest of the color of the beast.He remembered what he had once heard one of his teachers say; An Ashcrawler’s color is only united at death.This event had made him realize how much he had missed while he trained at home and never left the military camp, training to be on a higher level.Sure, he had heard of different kinds of beast while he was at home here and there but he never truly faced one and didn't feel the need to study intensively about it because he believed he had no business with it.And he had had none.By the time he was general and earned the king’s approval, monsters had long disappeared from the land and only met once in a blue moon.Now, years back in the past, he discovered that he had no true extensive knowledge of beasts and monsters, and his ignorance almost cost t
Chapter 57: Ashcrawlers
If the ember filled cracks wasn't enough to confirm its identity, then the molten pus that dripped down its jaws and caused everything it landed on to turn to ask was more than sufficient.“What the fuck is that?” Oliver asked in a semi trembling tone while Caden looked like he had frozen up.“Curse my luck,” Rex mumbled.“It is an Ashcrawler.” Elaris replied and Oliver’s eyes widened dramatically before he turned his attention back to the monster that was just standing there and seemed to be observing them–it was hard to tell with things that had no intelligence.They are spider-crab hybrid creatures with scorched, obsidian like shells, which hide in ruined abandoned places and are drawn to the heat of conflict.Considering the fact that they were close to the border where irritable soldiers and citizens collide, it wasn't surprising to see it here. Nethrowl was also the perfect place for its existence, since it is a dry city with little to no source of water bodies.“How are we goin
Chapter 56: Journey
Elaris blinked once, then twice as he stared at the second woman who he had started to see some similarities between her and Jaxon.The similarities between her and Max weren't that potent but that was because Max looked especially like his mother while both Jaxon and Elaira took after their father, Dax was a mix of both.Now that he knew her relationship with the household,it made sense why she felt the need to take part in their discussion and pitch in her opinion on their trip to Nethrowl.Caden had once told him that he had a stepsister,he just didn't expect that she would be off in the military with General Blackwell.Even though Hila hadn't said a single word since they entered the room, it was not hard to know from her body language that Elaira was someone that she respected and it wasn't out of fear or status.He half wondered if they had another person to deal with.“It is a pleasure to see you again, grandfather, but I would like to start making preparations for our journey
Chapter 55: General Blackwell
Elaris’ eyes went over everyone who was present in the room once again before he took a step forward and properly entered, Caden was hot on his trail since he did that at the same time and closed the door behind them.“Grandfather,” He bowed to the older man who was wearing his armor. Elaris figured that he must have visited some city lords or the Dean, maybe he just did some early rounds.Despite his old age, he was a huge man who sat perfectly straight, his sharp eyes burrowed into him but Elaris didn't flinch under his heavy gaze.His head was lowered respectfully but it was obvious that he wasn't cowering, he remained in that position until he finally cleared his throat and addressed him.“Max told me that you have changed your name once again,” he said and Elaris straightened himself.“Yes.” he replied, his gaze went to Max for a fleeting moment and saw that he had a sardonic smirk on his lips.It wasn't hard to figure that Mad had ratted on him because the older man had expresse
Chapter 54: The Connector
“Care to tell us what happened now that all of us are here?” Rex cut straight to the chase when everyone was sitting at the field where Caden used to train.Caden had made everyone go to sleep the night before because he believed that it was late and things like this were better discussed in the morning.Then he had made sure that the five of them were gathered before he allowed himself to be asked any questions.“It happened all of a sudden, at least a month ago?” Caden scratched the back of his head as he mused over the timeline. “There were these guys in the market and they seemed to have kidnapped a child. This place is close knit and it was immediately noticed that these men were strangers and the kid had been deceived by them.”All the four men looked at each other with silent understanding, Elaris furrowed his brows while Ashton couldn't control a frown too.They didn't expect that the men would stretch their capabilities to a city with less crowds.“There aren't some men prete
Chapter 53: Now, Who Is Useless?
“And that we can't do,” Ashton replied and Rex scoffed.“What I just saw didn't look like something that you can't do. Everyone saw you when you channelled your energy to those knives.” Rex motioned to the knives which had gone back to looking ordinary.Elaris had also walked closer to them, and he had a blank look in his eyes as he continued to stare at Ashton.“I had no idea how that was possible, one minute I was fighting an assassin over there and the next minute I was here and blocking the assassin with knives and channeling into it.” Ashton's voice was also laced in confusion as he stared at his hands with furrowed brows.“Are you telling me that you suddenly did it out of the urgency you felt to save us? It doesn't work that way. Energy is born with people and it has been known for the past centuries that Astradians aren't born with it, talk less of channeling it.” Rex said.“Can you do it again?” Elaris asked and Ashton shook his head when he tried and was able to come up with
Chapter 52: Yet Again
“Finally! We are going back!” Ashton said as he mounted his horse, he unraveled his fan sophisticatedly and Lord Rades stared at him in amusement.“You make it look like we haven't been treating you well during your stay,” Lord Rades replied.“Maybe you haven't, I had to share a room with this leech.” He replied glaring at Oliver who glared back at him.Rex was standing off to the side with a scowl on his face, he hadn't been able to convince Oliver to stay back in Embrayl and now he was following them too out of sheer suspicion.“Didn't matter if you wanted it or not, like I said, Genius Circle Hall is my good luck charm, I have never seen a lot of coins around like it did in Embrayl.” Oliver said before he walked to his horse which was standing beside Ashton's. He crouched down and took something from the floor. “For example, this again.”He raised another copper coin to them and Rex couldn't stop the groan of exasperation. Oliver removed a pocket and raised it in the air.It was fu
