Everyone's thoughts

Freya was in the middle of her room, laying in her bed, staring at her ceiling in a daze. The things her father told her was shocking, and it was also something that hurt her pride, but it also gave birth to an emotion she couldn't understand, she was curious about the boy named Ragna.

The information her father gave Freya, shocked her. Half of the forest north of Astrakane turned into a huge crater, and the one who did the destruction was the boy called Ragna. The strength he exhibited at the initiation test, and in the forest, estimate him to be at least 1st level of Transcending Mortal realm. This was the same realm as her father... Someone her age was actually able to achieve such strength, that could only mean he has the backing of a large clan, or has found a priceless artifact that boosts his cultivation. The former is the more likely scenario...

Due to this reasons her father wanted her to be friends with Ragna, and if possible entice him to join forces with their clan. Her father even suggested if possible, to make Ragna her husband.

When Freya first heard this, she was enraged but kept it in. Once she left her father's room, she got even more angry, not just at her father, for suggesting such a thing, but at herself as well, for being too weak to say anything.

What irritated her the most was that Ragna fulfills all the requirements, that she herself set for someone eligible to be her husband. He was near her age, he was also stronger than her, and his looks are not so bad...

'What do I do...' Freya went into deep thought.

In another another place within Astrakane, Baiyi was in front of his father prostrating himself. His father looked at Baiyi fuming with anger.

"You stupid child! How dare you act like that in front of all those people! You made our clan lose face, in front of the city lord's daughter no less! Not only did you ramble about arrogantly, even with the half saint weapon our clan acquired with numerous difficulties, you still fail to produce any good results. How could I have a dog son like you!" Baiyi's father pointed at his son with disdain.

"I warn you Baiyi, this time you must keep a low profile in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and silently strengthen yourself, and create a faction strong enough to support you. That is all I wanted to say, you may leave." Baiyi's father didn't bother with his son anymore, and focused on his cultivation.

Baiyi left his father's room full of rage... 'This is all their fault, those three Elders... Hmph! Those three are just rejects unable to go beyond the Golden Core realm. Just wait when I get to that Golden Core realm I'll slaughter those Elders, and claim Freya as my own... As for that fool Ragna I'll butcher him, and become the greatest genius of this era.'

Baiyi kept all the resentment and hatred he had, and turned them into his motivation to improve.

In the western mansion atop a hill overlooking Astrakane, a father and daughter were talking joyfully.

"Father it was amazing! That big brother was so powerful! He didn't even need to move for him to win." A little girl with black hair tied in a ponytail, Her bright face, and flawless white skin, made people think that she'll turn out to be an incredible beauty, was recounting the events that happened in the initiation test of the Heavenly Sword sect.

A calm and sagely man who looked to be around twenty was listening to his happy daughter's story. When he heard the events from her daughter as well as the report of his scouts, the city lord was intrigued. 'That youth called Ragna, could he possibly match up with that monstrous genius from the Thralkeld Empire. I can't wait for the tournament of young dragons.'

While everyone was talking about him, Ragna was contemplating as to what to buy using his newly acquired O.P points. Ragna didn't understand, but while he was resting a bunch of notifications kept on popping up and it was all about gaining O.P points. He now had 20,000 O.P points so he first bought the cheap Beginner Magic from the Ragnarok tree.

If he was in a fantasy, even if it was an eastern fantasy, he still wanted to use actually magic. Though he already used Dragon Slave, he couldn't enjoy it, because every time he uses it with his current MP he loses consciousness. So after playing around with Beginner Magic, he bought the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu using 2,000 O.P points.

At first he question the system if he needed to buy chakra first, but it was explained to him that mana and chakra were basically the same. So to use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu all he needed was MP.

Now that he bought those two skills, Ragna wanted to buy a defensive skill just in case the Invincible Barrier points disappear. But the only defensive skills that are passive skills that he could buy currently were...

"Heavy Stander (Mabinogi tree) (8,000 points)"

"Suna no Tate/Sand shield x10 (Nar*to tree) (16,000 points)"

The advantages of Heavy Stander was, it was cheaper to buy, and the mana needed to use it was less. The advantage of the Sand Shield, it was omnipresent, and more powerful, the downside was, it was more expensive and can only be used ten times. To buy the permanent thing cost 320,000 points.

Ragna needed to decide before the trip tomorrow. He just needed to survive the trip without using the Invincible Barrier, so when he gets to the Heavenly Sword sect, he can still withstand a blow from the sect leader, just in case he gets angry, also if he survives the blow from the sect leader, he can get more O.P points.
