10 The first step to becoming a legend.

A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes stared at the thousands of young men in front of him. These youngsters were the new students of the "One Step" academy, an academy that had more than 5,000 years of history and was responsible for the birth of countless successful men and women.

"Attention all!" With a loud cry the blond man caught the attention of all the young men gathered there, making the whole hall instantly silent. Sliding his blue eyes for all the young men in silence, the man gave a slight nod before continuing his speech.

"My name is Arthur Wood and I am the director of the academy. I would like to welcome all of you and congratulate you on your entry into this sacred ground."

"Some of you may know the prestige or fame of our academy, but not the meaning of your name. The founder of the academy had a desire, he wished this academy to be the first step to future legends, that powerful men and women, able to fight the monsters that invade our world, could be taught, nurtured and guided by the academy's teachers, thus taking their first steps towards becoming legends."

Looking at the animated expression that covered the expression of almost all the young people present, a smile appeared on the blonde man's lips before continuing with his motivational speech, his voice becoming more dignified and strong.

"A long time ago cultivation was divided between those who cultivated with the focus on the strength of the inner energy, those who cultivated in the external force and those who focused on the techniques or magical arts. Over time, the system was perfected, new techniques and secrets were discovered until the cultivation system underwent several modifications and refinements until it reached the current level "

The young people who were there did not seem to mind the long speech, they knew that the man who spoke to everyone was one of the great names of the city and the number of people who would pay to listen to his speeches and ideas was enough to fill others thousand halls larger than they were using at that time. So how could they not pay attention to each of the words that were spoken by him?

That's why everyone was watching the blond man closely as he spoke, wanting to have a better hearing and understanding just so as not to lose the meaning of any word.

"This evolution in our cultivation system was only possible because among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who passed through the world, a few were bold enough to try to find their own way to strength, ignoring the standard and well-defined means of the time and seeking to go beyond their predecessors "

As he finished saying these words Arthur was silent for a moment as his eyes wandered over the thousands of faces that stretched before him before a gentle, warm smile covered the face of the middle-aged man.

"I do not wish for you to reach the same step as me and even if you follow the same path. My desire for each of you is that you overcome me, that you go far beyond what I have come and above all .... May you create your own legends. "

As Arthur continued to smile at the young men, a large bird of fire came out of his back, before embracing the middle-aged man, wrapping him in a sea of fire before rising to the ceiling and bursting into a thousand shimmering sparks, forming a text before the surprised eyes of thousands of young people: The first step to become a legend ... Is to go their own way!
