120 After the War

Jack silently pulled the fist out of Worm's chest and put it down vertically. Jack looked at his bloody fist and frowned, he monopolized his COSMO and used it to turn the blood to ash.

　　As the body of Worm fell to the ground, a golden figure fell.

　　"What happened here, I feel that there are two COSMOs colliding! This is...the Specter!?"

　　The comer is the golden Saint Seiya of Aries, Shion. Although he came with doubts, he immediately understood what happened here and found that Sasha is also here.

　　"How can this happen!? Shion of Aries failed to rescue the Goddess in time, please forgive me, Athena!"

　　Shion said with a sigh of relief, this incident made Shion afraid for a while, and could not help but sweat.

　　"It doesn't matter, Shion, Tenma protected me and Jack has already defeated the Specter..."

　　"Jack, is it? Thank you, Jack, or if something happened to Athena... I don't know how to live!"

　　Shion stood up and thanked Jack for his help. He turned and said to Sasha: "Athena, this is not where you should be, please come back with me!"

　　Although Sasha turned around and wanted to say something to Tenma, she still didn't say it, so she went back with Shion.

　　seeing the stupefied Tenma, who is still amazed by Sasha's identity, Jack smiled lightly.

　　"Jack! Sasha, she is... Athena!?"

　　At this time, Tenma, who had come back to his senses, interrupted Jack.

　　"Yeah, you don't know?"

　　Jack answer the question.

　　Tenma looked down at his fist and said to himself: "I don't know... no! What is the identity of Sasha is not important! I...have not protected her.. ....if there is no Jack..."

　　Jack couldn't stand him like this. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You still have time. From now on, try to cultivate until you can protect Athena... Is this not expected from you. now you have to excuse me! I have to leave beforehand."

　　After that, Jack did not wait for Tenma to respond and went to the Vigro Palace. When he walked, he thought about it. (This fight has clearly shown my weakness in COSMO, if not for my OP physical strength I would not stand a chance against Worm, I need to comprehend the 7th sense as soon as possible... The teacher said that I am good at subtle manipulation of the COSMO. If I go in this direction... My understanding of the COSMO, my understanding of the heavens and earth will grow deeper and deeper as time passes, especially after I learned Tai chi from my teacher, I can reach the same realm as master Shaka before the holy war start... Right! If I can go to Fairyland to study, it should be useful to me!...)

　　Jack formed a plan in his mind, and his footsteps were getting faster. He soon arrived at the Vigro Palace.

　　"Do you feel anything about your first fight with the COSMO?"

　　When Jack came to the palace, before he could speak, his master Shaka appeared out of nowhere and asked him.

　　"Teacher, have you been watching?"

　　Shaka did not answer as if he knew everything, I am afraid that he has already discovered the Specter who had sneaked into the sanctuary.

　　"...I found my own shortcomings in that battle. So, I ask you, teacher, to allow me to leave the sanctuary for a while!"

　　Jack made a good decision to ask Shaka. And he, in turn, was a bit curious to hear Jack's request.

　　"Oh, your strength is enough to become a Saint Seiya, so it is best for you to get the holy clothes and practice together with the holy clothes."

　　"...It is not good for my cultivation to get holy clothes now... I will not wear the holy clothes until my cultivation is completed!"

　　"In this case, where are you going to practice and how are you gonna practice?"

　　"I am going to... Fairyland!"

　　"Fairyland? The Fairyland of the East. There is a place where the Taoist priests are cultivated. The way of cultivation is not the same as our Saints. Where do you plan to practice?"

　　"Even if the cultivation method is different, you can learn from it. To be honest, I also apply what I have learned from my hometown to the manipulation skills of the small universe. There should be something I need, which will make my manipulation of the small universe more subtle. "

　　"...you are a Chinese. If you go there, you may find the secret of your body... I have traveled through various spaces and have seen various forces, but I have never seen a power that can transform your body like this without leaving a trace... Since I can't stop you, you have to come back within six months. I will test you when you come back, then you must realize the seventh sense!"

　　The silence at the beginning made Jack feel a little uneasy, but the latter sentence made him relieved. Although this is not a general requirement, especially upgrading the COSMO to the 7th sense, but Jack is not an ordinary human, his brain is developed to an inhuman level, making his understanding of everything go beyond anyone.

　　"...Yes, teacher. I will definitely realize the seventh sense!"

　　Now, hearing the request of Shaka, Jack smiled and promise.

　　After saying this, the student and the teacher did not talk too much but silently carried out the same cultivation as usual. But it was soon broken by a person.

　　"Hey! Shaka, I heard that your apprentice has done a big deal!"

　　"....."

　　The person who came is no one other than Libra. He saw that Shaka did not talk to him and ignored him. Then he put away his smile and turned to Jack as he said: "Jack! Athena is requesting your presence!"

　　Jack thought (is it coming?) as he stood up and said, "I know, then let's go now."

　　Libra nodded to Jack and then said to Shaka: "Shaka, do you want to go together?"

　　"You go first, I will come later."

　　Then Libra led Jack to go to the main palace. On the road, Jack told Libra about his request.

　　"Master Libra, I heard that you have to go back to your hometown, can you take me with you?"

　　"Well? Why, is it homesickness?"

　　"Not so. I heard that there is a Fairyland, and the priest has a technique to turn the gas in the body into power. I want to learn."

　　"what!?"

　　Libra couldn't help but stop, and said to Jack a little anxiously: "Don't you want to be a holy warrior! You just defeated a Specter, Athena and the Pope are going to give you a holy clothe!"

　　Jack also stopped and shook his head and said, "This is not the case. I am not going to give up becoming a holy warrior, but to learn that kind of skill. You know that I am better at fine manipulation my COSMO, if I learn their skills, it should make me take it to the next level."

　　"It turns out about this, and yes, you are right learning their skills will definitely help you. Although it is not a big problem for me to take you, it is better to talk to Athena and the Pope, otherwise, you will be regarded as a traitor."

　　"I know, I will ask Athena and the Pope personally!"

　　Libra nodded, and when they almost reached the palace, he suddenly thought: "Right, have you talked with Shaka about this?"

　　"Yes."

　　"Oh, I didn't expect Shaka to promise. If he accepted your request then it's fine, there should be no problem. Then let's go!"

　　The two speeded up and arrived at the Palace in a short while.

　　"Athena, Pope, I brought Jack."

　　As soon as he entered the Palace, Libra reported to Athena and the Pope and then went to the next station leaving Jack facing Athena and the Pope himself.

　　Jack like an ancient knight saluted them: "Hello Athena and Pope."

　　"No need for formalities, I just wanted to thank you for your help, I can be safe is because of you, so stand up and talk."

　　Athena said softly.

　　After the Pope waited for Athena to finish speaking, he said to Jack in a dignified manner: "Jack! You defeated the Specter as a Saint's candidate and saved Athena. I thank and praise you. Now I will give you the cloak of the Peacock in the name of Athena. I hope that you can defeat more enemies as Athena's Saints!"

　　Jack once again pleaded the Pope and asked: "Thank you for your care Athena and the Pope, but I want to ask the pope to take back the reward."

　　"! Why? Don't you want to fight for Athena?"

　　"The Pope it's not like that. I haven't finished my cultivation yet, it will not be good for my cultivation if I get the holy clothes now. So I ask you to take back the holy clothes and allow me to follow the Taoist priests in the Eastern Fairyland to study for a while."

　　"What! Do you know how ridiculous your request is!?"

　　Hearing Jack's request the Pope shouted angrily, and Libra quickly came out to explain.

　　"The Pope, I have also taught Jack. I know about his cultivation methods. If he can learn the skills of the Taoist priests, it will be very helpful for his future. His teacher, Master Shaka, also agreed. ""

　　"...Shaka, is this true?"

　　When the boy was heard, the Pope calmed down, and at this time Shaka came to the Papal Palace.

　　"Yes, I have no opinion. And I also set the time, he must meet my requirements in time."

　　Shaka stood in front of Jack and replied.

　　"...this way...Jack! Since your teacher allows you to do this, then I will not blame you. However, this peacock saint will not be left for you. If you can't complete your cultivation as soon as possible, then this holy garment will be handed over to the right person. Athena, are you satisfied with this decision?"

　　The Pope first made the decision and then handed it over to Athena.

　　"No problem." Sasha first answered the pope's words, then smiled and said to Jack: "I hope that you can complete your cultivation as soon as possible, I will bless you."

　　"Yes, thank you, Athena!"

　　Jack bowed his head and thanked Sasha.
