The next morning.
When Bontu arrived at the lecture hall, the siblings were sleeping outside on the edge of the stairs. He woke them up.
“Since when were you two sleeping here?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s not important,” Fabby was yawning, and he found it cute. “Edgar found out an important clue regarding the drug seller. It’s someone who wears a green towel it seems. We should confirm if it’s true or not.”
“Oh…” Bontu’s eyes lit up. He looked at Edgar for confirmation. “I didn’t think any foot disciple would give away such information.”
“Well,” Edgar scratched the back of his head because Bontu was right.

“What did you say?” the blonde’s brows drew together. “Please don’t mind his words, senior,” Fabby hurriedly stood. “They don’t have any deeper meaning.” “Hmph! Who are you?” the blonde then gestured with her finger as if telling Fabby to come on stage. “I’m his sister.” Fabby went onto the stage. The blonde girl suddenly slapped Fabby, startling her to the core. Edgar was also quite shocked. “Don’t mind my slap,” she told Fabby. “It doesn’t have any deeper meaning.” Most of the audience could barely control themselves from bursting out into laughter. Edgar, however, was on the verge of losing it. He grabbed the chair’s hand so
WHIT 103 - SIGMAS
“There is no particular way to unlock one’s Drive because it depends on every individual,” Leo explained to the juniors in the class through a little demonstration. “Assuming that you unlocked the Drive, you will be able to release red energy from your body.” He released reddish energy out of his body. A faint warm breeze washed over the juniors’ faces. “This is called sigma energy which is derived from your blood. And those who can use it are called sigma-level warriors or simply called sigmas or red hoods. There are more levels than one, but the topic of higher levels is for another time.“Some of you here might have the red drive, the sigma energy, and that means you are all at the first level, the sigma level. This level has ten stages. Before I explain those stages, let me give you some advice. Some people take months to go from one stage to another, and
WHIT 104 - A KAPPA
Some outer disciples got onto the stage and showcased their drive. Even some foot disciples showed off. Some broke coconuts with bare hands. Some did push-ups on their thumbs. Some seniors among the outer disciples put holes in thin blocks of wood with their fingers. Some stood on their big toes for a minute or so. Some made loud noises with their claps, whereas some played musical instruments at extreme speeds. All in all, the juniors showcased their skills in different but intriguing ways, and this was a good opportunity for both Edgar and Fabby to watch and learn. However, only Fabby seemed interested at the moment.Soon, everyone was chatting nonstop after Leo left the room for a short break.Edgar was still looking serious. Fabby put her hand on his hand and said, “Eddie, do you realize that after your crippled leg was healed and you became strong, y
WHIT 105 - ARDOR VS ARROGANCE
“T-That flaming energy… He’s a Kappa!” Many mouths hung open from what they were witnessing. Marfa, the guy who got his wrist cut last night was also there, and he, too, was exceedingly astounded. Though his hand got stitched back and would take weeks if not months to work like before, it throbbed now more so than ever. That said, many people had ridiculed him for losing to a kid, even though Edgar already had earned a reputation. Now, after the public display he put, all those people who teased him might be feeling like slapping their own faces. Marfa who was intensely eating a sweet potato, even stood and said, “This is the guy who cut my hand. Underestimate him at your own peril.” Marfa was a notable figure among the foot disciples, so his words struck them hard. Becoming a foot disciple of any sect wasn’t a b
WHIT 106 - DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
As the blades met the daggers, an explosion erupted upon impact and blew the benches and people away. Only the tutors, outer disciples and a few others were able to stand on their feet.As the heat wave made the foot disciples scream, almost all of them began to run out of the class as if their lives depended on it.“Flower Fall Arts…” Gabriella jumped back and high up to the ceiling and sent flying slashes down nonstop. “Hundred Petal Rain!”Those slashes cut through the desks as if they were fruits. Though Edgar dodged from them initially, he couldn’t escape them all. The slashes he deflected also destroyed the objects around him.“Flowing Blade Floating Flower Arts…” Edgar jumped and spun like a whirling wind and

In a split second after Gabriella’s hand pierced through Edgar’s collar, his hand grabbed her throat firmly.She thrust her other hand at his heart. Edgar breathed hastily and ballooned his chest and not only blocked her thrust but pushed it back.“White Bite!”In midair, as both of them fell from hundreds of meters high in the air, a spherical mass of lightning snapped the winds and thundered across the whole neighborhood.Gabriella got electrocuted within the field despite managing to activate flaming energy all over her body.Edgar grabbed her arm that was still piercing through his trapezius muscle and pulled it out. He spun in midair and booted her jaw from the side, forcing one of her bloodied te
WHIT 108 - SEARCHING FOR THE SOURCE
The classes weren’t suspended but were just moved to other rooms in the lecture hall that the battle hadn’t affected. Still, there wasn’t as much crowd as in the morning, but there was more chatter. “An inner disciple has never been defeated by a foot disciple in the history of the sect. Just who is this Little Bolt?” “Well, Senior Gabriella only recently became an inner disciple, so she didn’t yet learn any of the sect’s staple skills. That’s why there’s no need to give too much credit to him.” “Still, it’s hard to believe that he’s only fourteen or maybe fifteen years old and is already so strong. If he’s gonna become an inner disciple, then he’s going to break the all-time record for the youngest inner disciple of our sect, which is at fifteen.” “But it won’t be e
WHIT 109 - MOVING THINGS
In the evening.Edgar was taken from the medical hall to the discipline hall. Fabby went along with him. This time, he wasn’t punished for fighting an inner disciple because it was a challenge approved by two masters. Still, he was fined for fighting in the lecture hall. One gold for all the destruction he had caused.One gold wasn’t a small amount. Poor people would take years to earn that much. However, if Edgar were to put his heart into killing beasts or acquiring their cores, then he would earn that in just a few days, mostly because it would take time to find good beasts.And Edgar couldn’t help but ask Ruth Raj, the current head of Discipline Hall, why he wasn’t punished for infiltrating the prison and escaping with his sister. However, Ruth simply responded by saying that Edgar wasn&r
