Meeting the Dean

"Humble?"

If Samuel said he was shocked right now it would be an understatement. "He lives in a freaking temple!?"

"Power and money, they love each other," Eva stated.

"Yeah... but, why a temple? Why not a villa, or a castle, or a palace even. Who lives in a temple these days? No, not even today, who has ever lived in a temple?"

Samuel was hovering stunned on the spot, not that he could move on his own since Eva was having him enveloped in her Ki, but still, he was stunned by what he saw.

The whole mountain top was more or less flattened into one giant plateau. The ground was covered in what seemed to be an unnatural form of mist that reached to one's knees. There was a group of scantily dressed young women kneeling to an enormous fifty feet tall statue of a heroic-looking man pointing his spear towards the heavens.

Hundreds of large white marble steps led to the front entrance of the temple where you had to cross six massive white pillars with burning fire baskets in between. The whole place was decorated with statues of naked women and magical beasts while entire stories were told by the carvings on the walls, making the whole temple look like it was one big artistic masterpiece.

"Want me to tell you something funny Samuel? That statue over there is a statue of himself haha." Eva joked.

"He made such a huge statue of himself!? Don't tell me he build this entire temple in honor of himself right?" Samuel asked dumbfounded.

"Haha, bingo! Do you know what's even more shocking? You see those women he got there kneeling to himself?" Eva asked.

"This man... those girls are worshiping him like he is god, isn't that a little too much? You're not going to tell me those are his servants he ordered to worship him right?"

"No, it's even worse than that I'm afraid. You see, all those beautiful girls with almost no clothing on their bodies are in fact all part of one big illusion he created." Eva explained.

Samuel: "..."

"This... hahaha this guy is too much, I fear I'm starting to like this man already." Samuel laughed.

"Y-You like the man?" Eva asked slightly shocked.

"Yeah, I mean, as an artist, I have to admit he isn't lacking style or imagination."

"Haha, maybe you're right, but as a woman, I can tell you he is definitely lacking in both of those departments." Eva joked.

A moment later, Eva and Samuel almost fell out of the sky when they suddenly felt a heavy and suffocating pressure pressing down on their location.

"It looks like he knows we're here, let's go," Eva said seriously.

The two of them dropped down immediately and started walking through the mist and stepped on the stairs, after which they passed six massive pillars and entered the building.

When Samuel and Eva walked inside, they reached a large reception hall with a rectangular-shaped pool placed in the center. The water was filled with beautiful floating white lotus flowers and all sorts of exotic-looking fishes.

They continued through the hall until they were standing in front of two big iron doors on their left, which led them to a long and spacious hallway. After walking for some time they started hearing a man who was laughing in the distance, it seemed to be coming from one of the rooms on their right.

"Come, this way," Eva said before they opened an old wooden door and entered into a small and cozy room.

"Well, well, well, two big tits and the walking evidence. For what reason if I may ask, are you honoring me with your visit?" The old man asked curiously.

Eva was clearly used to the old man's obnoxious behavior, so she didn't even bother and started introducing Samuel.

"The honor is ours, let me do the introductions first, Samuel, this is Mr. small penis, Mr. small penis, this is Samuel." Eva rebutted.

"Hahahaha, I'm still waiting for the day you'll come and make it big, miss big tits," The old man teased with a perverted look on his face.

"You...!"

Samuel: "..."

"Ahh, it's good to meet you, sir," Samuel said, being a little speechless by their behavior.

"Likewise kid, My name is Simon Weiss by the way. So tell me, what is it you two are doing here?"

"Well, I have come here to ask for your permission to be accepted into the academy without having to pass the academy's assessment tests," Samuel said.

When the old man heard this he stared at him and started pondering, then he looked at Eva for a while before looking back again while he remained silent. It was only after a minute or so before he spoke again.

"Reason?" He asked.

"I'm a dao child" Samuel casually answered.

"_"

*Booooooooooom!*

All the furniture in the entire room exploded into particles of dust! Luckily, Eva already expected the old man would react like this, so was already prepared and shielded Samuel from the impact. 'This idiot sure knows how to drop the bomb by mentioning it that casually,' Eva thought.

Samuel who was having a 'what the fuck' moment right now, had his back drenched in sweat. In the entire room, except for the walls which seemed to be reinforced, nothing else was left!

"hahaha, you should see your face old man!" Eva teased.

Simon, whose eyes were still wide open in disbelief from what he just heard, looked at Eva to see if she was confirming his story.

"Is it true?" He asked. but to his surprise though, Eva remained silent while showing no reaction whatsoever on her face.

Samuel realized she didn't answer because she didn't want to, but because she simply couldn't, so he quickly answered for her instead.

"I met Eva some week ago when she came to visit my home, which is a village called "Weinberg' somewhere on the other side of the barren lands. She was tracking a rumor of one of my paintings which was supposedly able to cure people's illnesses and decided it was worth a visit. There she found out that this painting contained traces of the dao and that the creator of that painting, I, a fourteen-year-old boy without a cultivation base, was its creator. Therefore, she came to the only conclusion she could make, and that was that I had to be a dao child.

"After all of that, she invited me to become a member of the academy and warned me about the dangers it would bring if others would find out about it. Having just met with her, I didn't trust her at all and would only agree if she and her disciples would swear an oath to the heavens, forbidding them from mentioning or hinting anything about me being a dao child." Samuel explained.

When Simon heard all of that and now understood why Eva remained silent, he began to look at her. "Fuck the heavens," He said.

Then he put his hand on top of Eva's head and closed his eyes. A little later the ground began shaking while the air started rumbling. As far as the eyes could see, massive black angry-looking clouds started forming above the temple. Without a single moment of delay, endless amounts of azure-colored lightning dropped down from the sky in furious anger!

*Boooom!* *Booooom!* *Booooooom!* *Booooooom!* *Booooooooom!* *Boooooooom*

When things turned silent again, the clouds started dispersing on their own like nothing ever happened. The old man opened his eyes and turned his head to look towards the ceiling, then he suddenly started yelling!

"Hahahaha, can't even break a simple array you piece of shit!"

Samuel: "..."

"Ok, it's done, you can tell me now Eva," Simon said.

Eva looked at him while drops of sweat were rolling down from her forehead. It wasn't only his life that was at risk here, but hers as well, and this madman didn't even warn or ask her before doing so.

"You crazy old bastard!" She said completely pissed of.

"Everything he said was true" She then confirmed.

When he heard this, he turned silent again as if he was thinking about something. Then without any prior notice, he suddenly exploded and started yelling again...

He's the walking evidence confirming heavens unfairness! Not only does he look like a god of beauty but is a freaking dao child as well!?"
