The story's first lesson!

A young boy was standing on the teacher's platform. Said teacher was now in the boy's seat, deeply concentrated on his world as if he's imparting the most important and crucial knowledge that she'll need for advancing from her 5 Star Silver Rank.

'' This all 'misunderstanding' started with the soul realm's grade colors and their impact on the rank that can be reached but this is just stupid and I will explain why. ''

This made Ziyun and Ning'er giggle. When explaining some things to them, Wang Wei would always start by 'This is stupid, I'll explain why it's stupid because you're stupid.'

This brought them good memories, when the world was so simple and they were happy.

'' A soul's realm doesn't have as you claim a color. It is only reflected on the crystal. Let's start by explaining the origin of these colors. ''

He took what looked like a crystal and approached the window. He kept twisting the crystal until a rainbow was displayed on the board. He continued to speak :

'' Can someone tell me the origin of rainbows?"

" It's a sign of good omen. '' says a random student

'' No that's stupid. Another one? "

" It's to celebrate the arrival of a good news, a sign from the heavens. My father told there was one on my birth. '' said proudly Shen Yue.

'' That's really stupid. You are stupid. Your father is even more stupid. How about our future Legend Rank expert? "

" I admit my defeat, please enlighten me. '' replied Nie Li

'' Stupidity can be fixed, cowardice and fearness of appearing as one is shameful. You maybe? " Retorted Wang Wei as pointing to another student

'' It means the start of spring?"

" That's partially correct. You're not as stupid as you appear. '' Du Ze didn't knew if he should feel proud or offended by the last remark.

'' The first stage for cultivators is The White Star Rank, the stage before the Bronze Rank. It's from this stage that comes the misunderstanding about the color's importance for cultivating. Don't misunderstand, it still somewhat matter for the speed but it's not what matters most, it would be the form and attributes of the soul realm's but we'll see that at a later time. ''

'' Rainbows also are the result of white light being reflected and then displayed as other colors. Those color are what I call 'Stage of Nature Comprehension', the most you are connected and have an affinity with the 'Earthern Fate' the most the color will 'evolve'.''

This made Nie Li conflicted, this unknown person seems to have a knowledge that shouldn't be known in this lower realm. Was he also from the future or did he came upon a treasure? He needs to investigate this boy and know his true intentions.

'' Like for the rainbow, there should be 7 colors : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue and Violet. Of course there are millions of nuances and colors and we can never truly determine one's soul realm color and as I stated before it is only a 'reflection' and reflection are just some results of light effects. It isn't absolute. Don't never let the color of your soul's realm reflect your abilities because it isn't. It's just a manifestation of your realm's reflection. It isn't absolute or definite. Work hard and break your own limitations.''

Wang Wei then stored his crystal and began to make his way back to his seat when he was interrupted by Nie Li :

'' How can you prove all of this? "

" I don't think you provided any explanation for your claims earlier so why should I bother? I'm just suggesting a different point of view, the lot of you just have to draw your own conclusions. ''

This made Nie Li even more furious, was this young man targeting him? If so for what reason?

Shen Xiu asked the next question.

'' You mentioned attribute and form for the soul realm. What are these? "

" Since my research on the subject aren't finished yet I can't speak about it yet. I'll have it done in a few weeks and I'll be happy to tell you then. ''

'' Fine but about those changing reflections that aren't fixed ? "

This statement put a smile on Wang Wei's face as he annouced :

'' Let's make a little experiment on this subject. I'll write different questions for you concerning a drawing . I'll pass then to show you one and you'll have to answer the question that I'll write on your paper. ''

Wang Wei had always loved paradoxes and now having the possibility to mess with an entire class's mind was really tempting.

After going through all the students including the teacher Shen Xiu, he put the photo that he was showing to everyone on the board. It seems to be a drawing of a dress.

Even Ziyun was perplexed by the 'simplicity' of this experiment. It was too simple to her taste. He only showed her the drawing and she had to answer what were the dress's colors.

'' Is this the drawing that I have shown to everyone? "

Everyone acquiesced.

'' Are you all sure? This is your last chance before your view on colors will drastically change. ''

Ning'er was intrigued. How can a simple drawing of a dress change anything? Is this picture some ancient powerful artifact than can change colors? Her answers soon brought others question after Wang Wei asked.

'' You all have answered the same question. You have written it on the paper. The question was : what is the color of this dress? "

Shen Yue took this as an opportunity to lash on his self proclaimed opponent.

'' What was the point of wasting our time if it was only for the sake of some white and gold colored dress. Are you planning on wearing it or something?"

His aunt responded.

'' What are you saying student Shen Yue? This dress is black and blue. ''

And then chaos fell upon the classroom. Many people were arguing and mocking other about problem with their eyes as on the stage the culprit of the mess was rubbing his hands and uttering a horrible laugh, something resembling 'Mouahaha'.

His actions had made Ziyun and Ning'er once again laugh. Wang Wei always has this reaction when he is thinking of doing something 'mischievous'.

His laughter got louder and louder until it was the only sound reverberating in class. As he noticed all the gazes on him, his laugh still continued for a minute. He was feeling powerful, invincible and on top of the world. Yes, knowledge is power and no one is more powerful than him!

'' This is a drawing coming from an ancient era, even before the Dark Age. You have all seen the same drawing but you've all seen it differently from different positions and with multiple reflections of light due to your seat's position. This brings out another question : what if we all agree that this dress is black and blue and the ones who see it with others colors assumed that those colors are black and blue. What is the reality then? What is the color black? I just want you to acknowledge that 'true' isn't a reality, it's just a perception. Hope you came up with your own answers. ''

This made all the class speechless. What was true? What was real? Some students seemed to be in trance as a Shockwave distrupted their thoughts. The source seemed to be Shen Xiu broking through the Gold Rank.

'' You're as precious to me as ever, little brother. '' She expressed her thanks.

'' I aim to please, Noblesse Oblige . ''

'' Indeed, Noblesse Oblige it is. You are already a wonderful and accomplished teacher. ''

'' I learned from the best. '' He teased back.

The great mood was then killed by a prick :

" This drawing, sell it to me. I offer you 100,000 DSC. ''

'' Are you insane?"

" One million, no ten millions. ''

'' Fine. ''

He got a IOY and handed the drawing to Shen Yue. He then handed one to each student with 3 copies to Ziyun, Ning'er and Shen Xiu with a prism.

'' As I told there's no equity here. They got it because I wanted to. Second lesson is to never assume the value of something on your own and appear desperate to have it. Economy is a much more complex thing for you to dabble in. I hope to see the money by tomorrow. Class is dismissed. ''
